As a heads up -- Frostpunk currently has a semi-game ending bug where one of your citizens starts eating infinite amounts of food as fast as you can generate it (which, in a game about surviving an endless winter, is kind of apocalyptic). There are a couple of workarounds but they're both incredibly tedious and fairly significant gameplay penalties in their own right. If anyone was on the fence about it I suggest holding off until this is fixed.

Hello. I quit Hearthstone at the end of last year, and have that collectible card game itch again. Is there one based on single player? I don't want to get sucked into this daily hour or two grind of getting currency everyday, I just want like a whole complete experience, preferably with satisfying animations/oomph like Hearthstone does. Slay the Spire is great and it's my most played game on Steam ever I believe, but it's not quite the same thing. I want to collect and expand my deck. I think there are old games like Duel Masters and Snk vs Capcom something something, which ones are the standouts? Modern games are fine too, I just don't know of any. Besides Slay the Spire. Which is amazing.

The GBA Duel Masters game is pretty fun, and I really liked one of the yearly championship editions of Yu-Gi-Oh but I can't remember which. Think it was either 2004 or 2006 -- it was one that had an almost comprehensive collection of cards and the reward for beating the whole game was that you got to ignore the banned and restricted list.

I'm out of games to play for the time being, so I need something to occupy my down time. I really enjoy MMORPG's, but I've played and burnt out on pretty much all of them. Are there any good multiplayer games that let you kind of goof off in a big open world with halfway decent combat?

it's not open world, but monster hunter world has pretty huge, intricate maps to explore, and has four player multiplayer to go on hunts to take on big ol' monsters together. there is a huge variety of weapons that all play almost completely differently from each other, from the greatsword which is just a giant slab of metal the size of your hunter, to the hunting horn, where you toot out musical tunes to buff you and your party, then bludgeon the monster with your horn since it doubles as a giant mace. or the heavy bowgun, which is basically designed around that scene in predator where they're shooting all the guns into the jungle wildly. it's a game that really rewards learning the eccentricities of each monster and the mechanics of each weapon, and with the iceborne expansion, the total roster size of monsters to fight is significant. It can be played solo or multiplayer and almost all hunts are balanced around whichever you choose, so if none of your friends are on, you can go on solo hunts which are still very rewarding. Each weapon is like learning a new fighting game character, but every single weapon is totally viable, solo or multiplayer. Personally, I fell in love with the Greatsword and never looked back, and over a thousand hunts later, still use it exclusively. It is seriously the most satisfying weapon I've ever used in a video game, it nails the weight and power of the weapon so well in every detail of the game. And if you're a sucker for MMO resource farming, well, there's plenty of that to do if you want to in MHW, but you can also eventually set up systems to automate that entire process for the most part and just focus on hunting if you want. the original MHW launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OotQrKEqe94&hd=1 one of the fourteen different weapon types, the Greatsword's gameplay demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azF6ruKpeLM&hd=1 and a video that perfectly elucidates exactly what it is about the Greatsword that makes me love it so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sPtxKqRa0I&hd=1 the game also doesn't take itself too seriously so you can play dressup with your character without sacrificing stats once you start getting layered armor, which lets you look however you like while having the stats of the real armor underneath. so, like, this is my default outfit at all times, for example:  yes that's a horrifying 8-bit megaman outfit for my cat buddy and yes it's amazing, he makes 8-bit megaman noises when he runs and drinks and shoots

Mayveena posted:Dreamquest actually came out before Slay the Spire and has the same type of gameplay, you might want to look into it. Dreamquest rules, I used to play Slay the Spire while at work so it became one of my most played Steam games as well and then when I started to get bored of it, I got DreamQuest and played for another 40 hours, and I feel like it did pretty much everything that I'd want to see out of a deck builder roguelike. The downside is that now I have no desire to ever play another deck builder roguelike  e: @Artelier the best non-roguelike singleplayer deckbuilder is still 1997's Magic: The Gathering by Microprose, AKA Shandalar. It's an open world RPG where you wander around the plane of Shandalar fighting M:TG duels against various planeswalkers, collecting cards and building/editing/switching your deck as you progress. It is exactly what you're looking for here if you can tolerate a 23 year old game. There's a 2010 fan repack/update with lots of community patches and 64bit support that I think should probably be really easy to get running on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/MagicTheGathering2010Edition Here's a 4 hour video of gameplay that I found on Youtube I have no idea if it's any good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIxvZlRvI00 deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 04:45 on May 24, 2020 |

The video game of pokemon the card game is my favorite videogame TCG, but you'd probably need to get an emulator to play it. You'd definitely need an emulator to play the sequel, since it was never released outside of Japan and you'd need to  the fan translation. The Megaman Battle Network games work on a hybrid between deck-building and real-time action, and they're pretty fun. They were released on the Wii-U virtual console if that still works, so they can be played without .More easily accessible, there's Ironclad Tactics, a game where you build a deck to command steampunk robots in the civil war and the Guild of Dungeoneering, where you go through dungeons to collect gear that builds your deck kinda like in Card Hunter.

So I think I've been able to refine what I am looking for since last asking about a sim/management game. I'm thinking along the lines of simfarm or uncharted waters regarding supply chains and the whole buy low/sell high sorta stuff. Right now I'm thinking Tropico 6 or Anno 1800. Any thoughts? I had a lot of fun with Banished but I'd like something a little deeper I think.

The Tropico 3-4-5 folks went on to make Surviving Mars. I haven't played it but if that track record appeals to you it might be worth looking into.

If the fun you had with Banished was mainly about keeping your people alive in harsh conditions and scant resources, go play Frostpunk. Anno's definitely the series to go for if you want to build a city that is also an engine for creating resources to make other resources to make money out of to build further. I think there's other series that go further into the aspect of running a trading company, but I never managed to get into those. I think the big names are Patrician and Port Royale. I love the Tropico series, but I wouldn't call them deep. You can try paying attention to what's most profitable, but there's usually not much chance of losing.

You still have the equivilent of "acension" and a seeded daily run as well as a couple of other fun competitive modes. I find it a lot more all-or-nothing than StS, in that you can never really eke out a win with a generically good deck, you have to pretty much get some kind of combo that breaks the game, but there are a lot of tools to just that which makes it fun, but probably more swingy. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Also good music. Gravy Jones fucked around with this message at 09:36 on May 25, 2020 |

Gameplay-wise they all have some jankiness, but from what I've seen/heard the only one where the gameplay majorly detracts from the fun is 4. Also if you still want something tactic-ish there's Suikoden Tactics.

ShootaBoy posted:Don't get into E:D, it doesn't have what you're looking for. The multiplayer is mostly non existant outside of the few high traffic spots left. And even when you find people, ED's multiplayer is a completely unbalanced mess, as the devs shat out a poorly planned "Engineers" upgrade system that made ships incredibly more powerful than vanilla, provided you didn't mind slogging through a big, lovely grind. Jumping into PvP without participating in this lovely grind will have you killed in 10 seconds or fewer, during which time you'll reduce the other player's shields by 0.5%. And other than PvP, there aren't a ton of people playing in the open multiplayer mode, and there are minimal benefits to doing so. Most people play in solo, in which they still share the same galaxy and gameplay, but they don't instance with other players. It's a singleplayer game that's trying to halfass its way as an MMO. Their co-operative multiplayer features also have issues, both technical (frequent disconnects) and design (NPC ship crew receive more compensation than human ship crew  ).Their upcoming bigass content release requires a player to have ridiculous amounts of credits to participate, and thus is only feasible if a player hops onto whatever buggy feature is accidentally paying out far more than it should at the moment, or they play the game literally full-time like it's a job. Someone who primarily plays for combat would have to shoot down tens of thousands of ships just to get their foot in the door of the new fleet carriers. From a design standpoint, Elite: Dangerous is a loving mess that would've been abandoned long ago had they not absolutely nailed the flight model, audio, and sense of scale, especially in VR. As detestable as I find much of the game, the actual in-the-cockpit experience is fantastic and has singlehandedly kept the game populated. But yeah, I'd never recommend it as a multiplayer game.

I don't get why people love it when I find the controls horrid. I absolutely love the controls of Descent Freespace, X3 and even NMS to a point. NMS isnt great but its doable. But ED...I just can't seem to get past the controls. I have never really even begun to play because I cannot seem to get past the battle part of the tutorial.
