BeefThief posted:Any good space trading games? It's okay if it's old as long as it's aged well. I'm looking for something like Port Royale maybe but with some adventure, ship/fleet customization and ability to grow from a lowly start. Space trading games off the top of my head (quality may vary wildly): X3: Albion Prelude Evochron Mercenary Space Trade: Merchant Marine (I haven't actually played it but I did buy it on Steam and it has space trader right in the name!) Offworld Trading Company (Haven't played or bought it yet... does anyone know if it sucks?) Space Rangers HD (Not strictly trading but you can do it) DarkStar One (kinda sucks because everything ends in combat...) Maybe the really old game you were looking for is Gazillionaire, which is still available but last time I looked they're really trying to milk money out of it for what it is (and now it looks like they have tablet versions that require you to install sketchy browsers? yeaahhh...): http://www.gazillionaire.com/index.php

Dark Messiah looks like it's got what I'm looking for. I've played both Orcs Must Die and while thematically there are traps I don't really enjoy the tower defense genre. Deception has some similarities to the tower defense formula but there's a more meticulous and personal feel to it.

I'm looking to find good coop games I can play with a friend, open to any genre or style of game. Have a PC & PS3. Borderlands, Resident Evil 5 and Earth Defense Force are a couple of games we've played through and enjoyed.

Danger Mahoney posted:Kind of a general recommendation, but what are some good open ended games with persistent progress that will run on a toaster? I am on location for work with nothing but a budget laptop and a couple hours per day for about four months between work and whatever horrible networking event is planned for the night. Dungeonmans! It's a roguelike, but you bring stuff back to the central base (Academy) that powers up future characters whenever you die.

I'm looking for good VR games for my Vive. I got the free and dollar stuff (and so far you get what you pay for  ) Is there anything I should be really looking out for or getting? I'm already on board with Brookhaven. There's a lot of stuff on Steam Sale but I just can't go fishing with 20 bux and hope something's good.Job Simulator is fantastic and Planetfate rocks, Audioshield is pretty nice too, they all get the Seal Of Good Game from me

Shakill OReal posted:I'm looking for PC Party-based RPGs that meet these criteria: Sounds a lot like Legend of Grimrock. There are a lot of puzzles and some pixel-hunting, but there's really no dialogue other than pieces of paper and writing on the walls (both of which are usually clues to puzzles). Grimrock 2 has some lore stuff associated with it, but it's a massive game compared to the first, with an expansive overworld. The bundle for both of them is currently 70% off for 9½ more hours! The game controls almost exactly like Eye of the Beholder, so I guess it's archaic/clumsy.

Dreamfall Chapters just released the final episode recently, and I'm liking it so far. There's some branching in the storyline even, not Alpha Protocol level, but I'd place it slightly above your average Telltale game in that departament.

Witcher 3 qualifies as too well known. Which I say because I've tried almost all of those. Dreamfall Chapters is intriguing, especially since it's complete. I own Immortal Defense and Longest Journey but haven't really dipped my fingers in them. So good reminder to go back!

Probably too well known but Last Of Us was one of the best game stories I've played in a while. Also Xenoblade Chronicles (the first one, not X) had 11 hours of cutscene with really fantastic story, but it was sandwiched inbetween like 200 hours of running around... (the story in X was really disappointing in comparison... a shame.) [edit] Life is Strange was really fantastic too. Tagra fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Jul 4, 2016 |

I've been on the fence about picking it up for a while. Also while we're at it, I played and loved Might and Magic X already.

I love grand strategy games like Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings and also old GBA-era RPG games with more menus and stats than gameplay. Only problem is my computer is awful at gaming and can only play really old games or games that take little power to run. Any games that fit this criteria?

Gives me such a huge adventure boner every time. Nordick fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Jul 4, 2016 |

Speaking of Legend of Grimock, I've been eyeballing a game called Star Crawlers that appears to be that but in a sci-fi setting. Anyone played it and have anything to say about it?

Just keep in mind that Dreamfall Chapters is a direct continuation of the 2006 Dreamfall. There's a 'story so far' option, but the first Dreamfall is pretty decent and not that long anyway. There are a few (I think 4?) very clunky fight sequences, but other than that it's smooth sailing, very little 'adventure game logic'.

I have a 16 hour road trip coming up, split between four people. That means I'll have 12 hours of sitting in a car doing nothing, and then on the way back, the same. I don't have a laptop, but I do have a Galaxy S5. I'm looking for decent android smartphone games, but I have zero interest in freemium games, or any game where you have to buy poo poo with real money in order to make things play at a reasonable speed. So no Candy Crush, or Clash of Clans, etc. I am totally okay with buying a game, as long as I don't get nickel and dimed to buy currencies or whatever the poo poo on top of it all. I have $10 from doing the Google Survey thing that can't be cashed out, only spent. Any genre is fine. And any age is fine, too. The only smartphone game I have ever played is Ingress, so even if it's a super popular, old game, I've never played it. AbrahamLincolnLog fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Jul 5, 2016 |

Oh man, when you're done with your trip and back to a computer, gets Caves of Qud. It's made by Sproggiwood's devteam and vastly more complex. It's a similar sprawling survival roguelike to Cataclysm, so it's probably right up your alley. (To clarify: Sproggiwood is brilliant and fun but a vastly different experience from CoQ. Hard to believe they're from the same folks!)

Wanna play Spades and Hearts with some friends online. Need a fast, painless way to do so, preferably without having to register an account and wait for email confirmation, although we could do that if it doesn't rope us into some asinine social network or search engine corpus. Windows 7-era PCs.

Is there anything like Baldur's Gate II on 3DS or DS? I'm looking for something to scratch the handheld rpg itch. I've already been through most of the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games as well as many of the Tactics games (FF, Onimusha etc). I'm really looking for something like Baldur's - party of four or so, pausible or turn based combat, preferably fantasy but sci fi would be ok too.
