Hey

Looking for fun PC online multiplayer games for 2-4 people, preferably team based or co op.

Currently we are playing Overwatch, H1Z1, and Orcs Must Die. I've tried so many other co op multiplayer games and it's hard to find something we all like.

Leveling stats and skills and/or a sense of progression is probably a requirement. Not sure what else to add for requirements!

Try Gauntlet or Terraria. Satellite Reign actually has a co-op multiplayer mode now and it's super fun, I've played the whole game with it. Monaco is also pretty great.

Gauntlet has you pick up money which you spend on alternate (but equally powerful) equipment loadouts, and Terraria is gear-and-boss-killin' based progression. Satellite Reign you progress by breaking into cyberpunk compounds and stealing equipment and upgrade blueprints. Monaco is tons of fun, but each level is standalone, there's no levelling.

Mass Effect 3. Though it might make more sense to wait for Andromeda and see how its multiplayer goes over.

We already tried Terraria; though I loved it, my buddies didn't. I'll def check out Gauntlet and Satellite Reign as well.

The Tales series has been running for over 20 years now. Check out some of the other ones like Symphonia or Zestiria or Graces. I've personally played the 2D ones on PS1 and they were all excellent (Phantasia remake, Destiny, Eternia [US version was called "Destiny II" to prevent a lawsuit from He-Man]). If you have a PSP hanging around, I recommend the Star Ocean games (First Departure, Second Evolution) as they also have fun battle engines.

As an aside, I noticed the other day that a game in the Atelier series has just been released on Steam. I've only played the very first English release on PS2, but item crafting is that series thing, and I found it to be really enjoyable.

Which would I like more Symphonia, Zestiria, or Graces, if I liked the story a lot in Berseria

Should be fine. There's a pretty active community on *gasp* Reddit *gasp* if you are really desperate. I play from time to time when I need a change of game scenery. Still fun and easy to get a game going. Check out the thread here for folks, too. They are all very nice and willing to help you get better and answer questions.

I have a hankering to play a naval strategy game. I've been reading through Grey Hunter's fantastic WW2 Let's Play, as well as a couple of the Rule The Waves LPs, and now I want to play myself. What out there is actually approachable and good to play? I've played the Battlestations games, and the MMO-style Steel Ocean and World of Warships are too slow-burning for me.

Rule The Waves is really approachable, as is its predecessor Steam and Iron. Otherwise you've got Atlantic Fleet (Great and cheap), Victory At Sea(Mount and Blade at sea) and the best naval strategy game, Battlefleet Gothic Armada. drat its sad that proper naval strategy games aren't as good as BFG:A.

Nope, I last played it not too long ago and I had zero trouble finding gold matches.
If anything, I'd wager the higher difficulties are probably more populated by now since so many of the players will be veterans. This is pure conjecture, though.

I have severe chronic pain that often prevents me from using my right hand for repetitive motions.

I'm looking for games that I can play using only the mouse, or, if using a controller, without having to use the left and right halves of the controller simultaneously. Good examples are things like HOMM3 and The Witness (it's a little awkward but I manage).

Battle Brothers is a really cool turnbased tactics RPG kinda thing that doesn't really need the keyboard for anything. In combat it's a bit more convenient to select abilities via hotkeys, but the difference between that and clicking on the ability icon isn't huge since it doesn't require any reflexes or timing or anything.
There are also a few inventory actions you do by holding Alt or Ctrl while clicking on an item, but those actions are either optional or quite rarely needed, and even then not 100% necessary.

EDIT: I should add that while the game is in Early Access, its final update is about to hit quite soon and, far as I understand, the game will be fully released then.

I really like the Audiosurf games partly for that very reason. If you happen to be a music fan with a good-size digital library, I'd say it would be an excellent purchase. Don't bother with Audiosurf 1, get the sequel, it improves upon it in every way, and supports more formats. I think you can load youtube songs on it, but I haven't tried that.

You can theoretically play a lot of retro games that only use two buttons by using a Playstation-style controller with L1/L2. Also, there were Japanese controllers made specifically for this purpose (probably for RPGs), see if you can track one and a USB adapter down.

Many strategy games can be played with a mouse only. Something like Stellaris or Civ 6 that are either pauseable or turn based have shortcut keys on the keyboard but they're always bound to on screen buttons I believe.

Crypt of the Necrodancer can be played with the arrow keys alone, if you are okay with using your left hand. It can also be played with the four colored buttons of a 360 controller, which could be manageable with your left hand if you put the left shoulder button in your palm and use your thumb.

I'm looking for a particular kind of tower-defense/management game. I recently bought Kingdom: New Lands and really like the gameplay loop of building up and recruiting for your town, then defending it against periodic attacks. It also reminds me of Gnomoria where I had a ton of fun building out my town, constructing defenses, and then withstanding attacks that increased as time went on.

I'm looking for something similar to Kingdom: New Lands or Gnomoria where there's a concept of civilization/town management and defense of that location in some way. I really liked the concept of testing how long I could survive against wave after wave of attacks while attempting to recover during the day through resource management. Is there anything similar to those concepts that anyone has had luck with? They don't have to be exactly like Gnomoria or Kingdom, just similar enough.

This is old but on the off chance you still read the thread, have you played the Majesty games? Some scenarios are more waves some are more constant, but it's town management & defense and might be what you're looking for.

Agreed with this. Rimworld on harder difficulties is somewhere between an incredibly complicated tower defense game and a small party RPG.

For reference, I've a 3DS, PS4, and a PC that should run a good amount of poo poo.

I have that installed already, complete with RoS. Unfortunately, I also seem to have the problem of "play when the season starts, then cbf to finish it out".

And also I am not playing through the story mode. Might take too long for my dumb numbers game.

GEO is extremely grindy, is only barely more than a clicker in terms of gameplay and is a throwback to 90s sVGA style space games that is probably too expensive for what it is, yet I can't stop playing it as a background game when listening to stuff. It's one of those games that I would actively recommend against if anyone looks at it and thinks it's probably not their thing, even though I find it relaxing and enjoy it. Numbers definitely go up.

I haven't played Pixel Privateers yet, but will probably grab it while it's still in it's launch sale window. Might fit the bill.

Do you like loot games? Diablo 3, The Division, Destiny, Marvel 2015 are all popular and fun. Terraria has a lot of grind. Darkest Dungeon is good and real grindy, but not in that exact "numbers go up and it feels good" way.

I'm looking for a fighting game that doesn't revolve around long combo's, but instead reading and playing around your character's strength. No infinite combo's is a huge + for me, and it has to be for PC. My personal Favorite that's not on PC is Smash 4 which doesn't have dumb technical glitch abuse, requires very good reads and play, and most of the combo's are like 3 or 4 hits long at most, while being super risky to pull of, allowing most of the game to take place in the neutral zone.

What are some games where you can be like John Wick and get brutal, quick kills on loads of enemies, using guns and hand to hand combat? I like Payday 2 for that (especially since you can actually BE Wick), GTA, and the Hotline Miami games. Counter Strike also fits the bill to a lesser extent (it's a lot harder to go on a killing spree without dying yourself.) Anything else out there?

Okay, so this is from a couple of weeks ago, but: Max Payne, my dude. Max Payne and Max Payne 2 (and maybe 3, I dunno, I heard 3 was a bit crap) are the John Wickest games. No finishing moves as such, but you won't miss them when you're diving down a flight of stairs in slow-mo, firing akimbo uzis at a gas tank.

Max Payne 1 is pretty nice but hasn't aged well (think Deus Ex 1). The biggest problem is that reloading in bullet time is sloooooooow.
Max Payne 2 is a classic and a hearty recommendation. Bullet time gets slower and lasts longer as you chain kills and reloading in BT is instantaneous (and/or has a :krad: animation). Plus there's a lot of imaginative level design etc., it's great.
Max Payne 3 is a rip-off store-brand Max Payne game that looks nice but plays completely differently and is packed with unskippable cutscenes (particularly before hard fights).
