shipbreaker, satisfactory, and factorio are all really great for chilling and listening to podcasts. also i played the demo/prologue for The Riftbreaker: https://store.steampowered.com/app/780310/The_Riftbreaker/ and it was pretty fun

binding of isaac as mentioned earlier is definitely a game you can zone out to once you get the hang of it but it’s pretty intense at first it took me about 420 hours to 100% before this expansion and i’ll probably be at around 550 when i finally wrap this one up

dioxazine posted:there's a mechwarrior 5 mercenaries?? yeah it's 3/5, at least the last time i played it. it scratches the mechwarrior itch, but the story's pretty short and kind of lame. there are over 9000 planets you can go to but only like 4 different mission types that don't really change except for the bad guys can show up with heavier mechs, so it's pointless to spend hundreds of thousands of space bucks going from sector to sector unless you're looking for a specific rare mech or smth. maybe they updated it or put out some dlc idk

sounds kind of unfortunate. i might as well play the harebrained mech commander game again if that's the case

i know it's passe, but i still really like overwatch and i play it often. i like territory control as a mechanic more than straight elimination like in apex legends, fortnight, pubg, or similar. i never played tf2, so maybe that's why i haven't outgrown it like many others have

have you ever heard of battlefield op?

man I could go for some battlefield right now. When's the new one out? They're best at first release where loads of poo poo is completely broken ![]() I don't think I've ever had as much fun in multiplayer as spamming mortars was in BF4 before they patched the rate of fire down and you could rack up constant rage inducing kills from the back line of the map while the enemy raged

I found the mode where you build outposts pretty fun at least

I forget whether it was 3 or 4 where they gave you remote recon drones that could kill other players by crashing into them, that was hilarious

Battlefield is fun but some of them take too much from call of duty. I like the big maps and stupid vehicles

https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/killer-bundle-17 this bundle is worth picking up at this price just for Undead Horde, never mind the six other games you're getting for less than a fiver.

Planescape torment is a fantastic game and alone worth the price of the bundle.

i liked most of the battlefields but BF5 sucked and afaik it killed the series all the battlefront games are total garbage

the battlefield games were great until 2142, which was a seriously mixed bag, and then everything after that sucked

Battlefield 1 was awesome and it's still full of people. Bad Company 2 was amazing to and you can still find very active servers

i want to experience the terror of realizing an enemy scout has been painting your squad and a catapult over the next ridge just unleashed a salvo. not as in 'oh ouch i guess that's a bit of damage' i mean seeing those flares over the horizon and thinking 'welp gg i guess'

flight simulators are like that. you should try them. - 15 minutes starting up the plane and aligning the INS (restart at least once because someone in your flight hosed up and now their plane's HUD doesn't work or whatever) - take off and spend 20 minutes following waypoints and poking at cryptic targeting pod controls - identify the target, drop one bomb on it, still flying in a straight line at 30,000 feet - RWR suddenly lights up and you're surrounded by SAMs - MISSILE LAUNCH MISSILE LAUNCH BREAK BREAK BREAK CHAFF FLARE - you and your wingman both dive to the ground and get in a furball with half a dozen migs, cannon shells streaking by your cockpit - either kill them all in 2 minutes or they will kill you, usually with an infrared missile you never see coming - head back to base but now you're almost out of fuel, so you have to fly at 30% throttle praying nobody comes after you - perform a perfect carrier trap with 15 seconds of fuel left - AI plane lands directly on top of you and explodes it's a blast

Sagebrush posted:flight simulators are like that. you should try them. nah i don't care about the simulator aspect of it. i care about the ttk being super low which increases the stress and consideration that has to go into every action you make as a squad. one careless peek over a ridge can get your head blown off. so every action is deliberate and as a result when the action heats up it gets HOT

that sounds like you could just take a regular mechwarrior game and a 5kb mutator to reduce everyone's health, then.

nah you’d have to rebalance it from the ground up because lasers / cannons would just dominate the meta if you didn’t put any thought into it
