Well, Majesty 2 springs to mind, but I was unimpressed. There really aren't a lot of games where you can only motivate your units, not tell them what to do. Maybe one of the DwarfFortress types could count?

The only thing I know of coming in this direction is That Which Sleeps, which is supposed to release a gameplay video this week. They have, however, missed every single other deadline they set for themselves, so YMMV.

I've got a group of 5 of us on PC and we're looking for something to play together. We're not picky but there are some conditions: Fast FPS and similarly styled third person shooter games are out, can't be too hardware demanding, coop would be nice but realistically we're looking for a game people can drop in and out of because trying to schedule 5 adults with poo poo to do is not a thing that can happen.

Does Don't Starve Together support groups of five? It's even less system-intensive than Minecraft and requires less commitment.

If you want to explore the combat side of things, you might want to take a look at Naval Action. That's Age of Sail era ships, although I think you can maybe be a trader now in it. Alternatively, maybe you should try things like Grand Ages Medieval if trading is what you're looking for. Snowy posted:I'm looking to get a vita game as a present for a friend.

I just have a lot of trouble with It isn't space, but maybe you'd enjoy From the Depths. You're on a planet that's mostly water, and you build ships and aircraft and stations. There's also an actual reason to build things and gather resources other than just building bigger things: there are other factions on the planet and your job is to kill them all. They get progressively more advanced as the game goes on. The best thing about the game in my opinion has to be the fact that you can design everything in it, from the engines to the ammunition to your guns to the components of your missiles. But you don't have to do that complex stuff, you can just create things from the Steam Workshop. Alternatively, maybe Factorio, wherein you build a factory on an alien planet?

Fire Emblem isn't on Vita though. If they really like P4G, there's a spinoff rhythm game called Dancing All Night featuring the same characters. A lot of the good games on Vita are actually PSP games and only available digitally like Trails in the Sky, so maybe consider buying a PSN card instead? You can also check with the

This probably isn't the right thread, but I haven't seen a "identify a game" thread so this seems close enough. I'm trying remember what game a level is from and it's driving me nuts. It's from a shooter. I think it was semi linear but it might have been open world. it's fairly recent and came out in the past couple of years. You sneak into a place where some party/rave is going on by hitching a ride in the back of a truck. Then you sneak around behind the party and there is a bunch of hosed up stuff going on slavery/prostitution/torture or something like that...Then the bad guy finds you and you have to shoot your way out. I think it took place in a bunch of wooden shacks and you never actually enter the party. Does this ring a bell?

There's a mission where you have to infiltrate a human trafficking ring and what your describing sounds a bit like that. Chip and Ironicus are currently doing an LP of that, and they already did that part. Here's a link if you wanna see if it matches your memory. Also do not play Watch Dogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kooiPOm1Wtc

I've been playing Kingdom on PC, it's a 2D side scrolling strategy game, where you create a settlement and then defend it at night. I've always loved games about defending settlements that you build up over time, like Stronghold. Are there any other games like this?

Goon favorite Dwarf Fortress would fit too. Then there's: Gnomorio other Dwarf-Fortress likes XCOM has this to an extent Xenonauts is basically XCOM with more base building, more men, and more fiddly bits Possibly Don't Starve and its clones might scratch the same itch If you don't mind older games, you'd probably love any of the Suikoden games. (My favorite is the second but I don't know how well the art has held up). Fake edit: Fallout4 has a base building mechanic, but I'd personally recommend waiting for a sale and the inevitable host of essential fan patches.

I also found it to be a bit unintuitive at times, my supply chains would break down seemingly at random, with my gnomes not producing materials even though I set it to a high priority and had all the required materials.
