That game is incredibly hollow, oversimplified, boring, and deeply steeped in the gatcha bullshit. I would pass on that one. Try Chroma Squad and Knights of Pen and Paper .

I'm looking for games that would trigger my fear of giant sea creatures underwater. Examples include: Endless Ocean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyx-NlfQvfs Resident Evil 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQUdg0eztx0 and of course, subnautica (I don't have too many examples)

I need cool PC games that I can play while my girlfriend watches and enjoys them. I think I posted in this thread before but whatevs I need more recommendations. The 'trick' is that these need to work with a Steam controller so we can play on a big TV. General hint is to stay away from 'obvious' answers because I've already considered them. Games that worked well: Prey (2017) - (she loved it) Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines (currently playing, she also loves it and laughs at the gothy-ness of it) Firewatch Her Story - I have a couch keyboard SOMA What Remains of Edith Finch Dyscourse Tales from the Borderlands Life is Strange Herald Journey Games that worked OK: Deus Ex MD - was actually really kinda boring? Horizon Zero Dawn - yeah I have a PS4 too but anyway it's cool but all the exploration could be a little dull to watch Pyre - too much reading to be a 2-player couch experience Dishonored 2 - seemed a good bet after Prey, but was a bit too slow, the way I play anyway Basically, stuff that has a good story combined with somewhat entertaining gameplay. Not necessarily limited to walking-sims or 'immersive sims' or telltale games but that's what's kinda worked so far. edit to say: she's also played Skyrim and Dragon Age to death herself, any by her own admission the new Fallouts are not a good option.

We tried Nier Automata, and while I enjoyed it myself, she derisively called it the Robutt Game. MGR I showed her the "memes are the DNA of the soul" clip and she was very confused as it turns out she didn't know memes were a non-internet thing that had an actual meaning and she thought someone edited the clip. Anyway I played MGR and it was great but unfortunately it's a no in this scenario. Spectacle fighters are probably the wrong direction. Doctor Spaceman posted:Would puzzle games like Talos Principle or The Witness work? The Witness was a hard no. Talos Principle I think would be a no from both me and her since I honestly suck at most puzzle games - or at least, I feel like I do. Portal is pretty much my limit.

Oh hey, I can use this thread instead of the steam one. I'm looking for simple, good-looking, not too talky Tower Defense games for my mom. If they support Russian, all the better, but that's not a deal breaker. Thus far, she got really into Plants vs Zombies, Kingdom Rush and KR: Frontiers. And she hated: PvZ 2, Defender's Quest (fair enough, I hated every word out of the character's mouths in that one as well), Dungeon Warfare (watching someone who isn't familiar with the word "graphics" struggle to articulate her problem with that game was amusing) and Defend your Life / Royal Defense / Fort defense (so various cheap-looking ripoffs of the titles she liked are probably not the way to go) She doesn't really game on her tablet, so PC-only.

Alan Wake was a good recommendation, we watched an LP. Far Cry 4 is sometimes cool and sometimes boring.

Xander77 posted:Oh hey, I can use this thread instead of the steam one. Have you tried Orcs Must Die? Or would moving and looking be too difficuilt? If so, you didn't list http://store.steampowered.com/app/18500/Defense_Grid_The_Awakening/ Defense Grid, which is one of my favorites. Spacerun http://store.steampowered.com/app/275670/Space_Run/ Is a subversion of the TD trope, where you fly your towers through the enemies instead of the other way around. There are a LOT of TD games, so a little more about what she disliked about PvZ 2 could help, or what she DID like about Kingdom Rush.

Not a fan of Bloons TD (http://store.steampowered.com/app/306020/Bloons_TD_5/) but that's fairly popular. There's a third Kingdom Rush game (Origins?) but it's not on Steam yet. Might be worth checking sites like Kongregate as well. That's got an absurd number of free tower defence games of varying quality Gravy Jones fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Jul 31, 2017 |

Jive One posted:Just finished Fallout 4 with the Brotherhood of Steel and am now looking for a new RPG or jRPG to play. Something big with lots of adventure and exploration but maybe a bit more...pastoral/fantasy-based? I'm kind of burnt out on excessive violence with all the human experimentation, torture and whatnot that Fallout 4 had. Dragon's Dogma, I'm not normally into JRPGs at all but I was pleasantly surprised by that one.

Xander77 posted:One of my other side projects is finding a real beginners FPS to explain basic movement and aiming. There's a bit of a "you need work experience to get a job problem", insofar as every single FPS assumes you've played shooters before. If you use the Zdoom engine port for the Doom games you can have her practice mouselook with slow dumb imps and zombies 'til the arachnotrons come home. Maybe stick with Doom 2, the first episode of the original Doom is surprisingly confusing to navigate going back to it now. EDIT: VV seconding Portal as well.

Portal is a legit good first person game to teach stuff like that, really any "walking simulator" where time isn't a factor as much as puzzle solving.

These are good suggestions so it is sad that I have already played them and they just slipped my mind in the original post. Definitely playing Shadow of War when it comes out. We gave AssCreedSyndicate a shot since it was loaned to us by a friend but it can be a bit of collectible and sidemission overload without meaningful story progression.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, or Zoo Tycoon? I've never played these games but I was watching people fling people off coasters on youtube, or having petting zoo gorillas that flipped out and maimed people , and I really wanted to experience something like that, but a bit more modern.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is still modern. I can't recommend Planet Coaster because it has no real direction, it's just pure sandbox. I recommend RCT3 and downloading scenario packs from RCT1 and RCT2. The downside here is that in RCT3 you can't kill anyone
