Fat Samurai posted:I'm having a lot of silly fun with Dynasty Warriors 8 Ultimate Xtreme Radical Legends: Definitive Edition for Completionists. Any other games on PC or PS4 that let me Check out Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, it's not on PC but should be on PS4 (or PS3 at least? Are they backwards compatible? I don't have a current gen console). It's it's a Dynasty Warriors / Samurai Warriors crossover with characters from both games, plus some interesting additions from history, mythology and other video games like Joan of Arc, Achilles, and Ryu from Ninja Gaiden. The story is about demons that are disrupting the timestream (the Orochi, naturally) so you travel through time, hit some remixed classic levels from DW and SW games as well as original stages, unlock an enormous roster (and bring 3 with you into each battle that you can swap between at any time), collect and upgrade tons of weapons and items and, yeah, KO millions of mooks. I had Warriors Orochi 3 on PS3 and it was a beautiful thing as someone who loves Musou games. WO3 only had story mode and free-play but it had a shitload of stages, and a mode called Musou Battlefields that lets you edit cleared stages to add more enemies/select enemy officers/change the story and dialog/etc. I haven't played Ultimate but it adds something called Gauntlet Mode where you take a party of 5 characters into a "multi-level dungeon" and try to make it through without your dudes dying, and apparently significantly expands Musou Battlefields. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Aug 2, 2017 |

Since you said PS4 was OK too, I'll throw out a recommendation for Yakuza 0. As long as you avoid the more repetitive minigames, only because I don't think they'd be fun to watch, the main storyline is very engaging and the substories (sidequests) are well written and have fantastic characters. Plus the visceral combat can be pretty entertaining to watch.

DOOM (2016) might work. Considering your girlfriend seems to enjoy VTM - Bloodlines, she might appreciate the po-faced insanity of DOOM's plot. The action is blistering fast. and a ton of fun to watch, speaking personally. It's just so METAL. It is also, IMO, the best shooter in at least a decade, maybe longer. HITMAN (2016) is a good choice, too. It's got a great sense of humor and fantastic writing, and there's lots of creativity & variety in the gameplay; it feels like a game designed for an audience. Reaching back a little farther, Mass Effect 2 might work; it's an RPG with high production values & a lot of the menu busywork stripped out. If she likes campy horror, Resident Evil 4 is a classic for a reason. Ed: Wolfenstein: The New Order seems like a perfect fit. The plot is great, with fantastic characterization; it's a gorgeous game, and the action has got some real flair to it. Eela6 fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Aug 3, 2017 |

Kind of a long shot, but can anyone recommend a game similar to Banished that doesn't drop off in difficulty after the first few years? I am thinking something like Rimworld, just instead of enemies you are facing crop devastation, population collapse, etc.

Yea Mass Effect 2 is the greatest game sequel of all time imo As far as like getting rid of everything I didn't like about the first one and improving the stuff I did at like a 100% rate, every single thing I didn't like about the first one gameplay-wise was gotten rid of

They made just enough changes to the structure of the game from Mass Effect 1 -> 2 that it really turned a good game into something great shame about the last quarter of ME3.

I actually really liked Mass Effect 1 it had some really cool ideas like the gun license thing and the rpg elements were stronger in it. It had the best dialogue system and quest structure out of any the sequels. Problem is that the gameplay/combat felt bad. This is often the case. You either put more rpg elements or focus on the gameplay straight up. Mass Effect 2 and 3 were decent balance of those with 3 being more combat oriented. The thing that suffered the most was the quest structures and narrative/dialogue choices you had. Also Mass Effect 1 was insanely hard on nightmare. All the sequels are pretty easily especially if you get some practice in multiplayer you can find the strongest classes and combos easily.

If you're playing Mass Effect 1 for the first time in 2017, there's no shame in using console commands to just cheat yourself into 9999999 credits for the best armor/weapons in the game immediately so that you never have to spend time fiddling around with the inventory. Same for Mass Effect 2 for 9999999 of each resource so that you never have to scan planets.

I've been playing Terraria with some friends lately but we're getting frustrated with hitting a wall, duke fishron is kicking our rear end and the game has stopped being fun for the group (myself included). We're looking for something co-op multiplayer to take a break with, something that will run on some fairly low-spec laptops because we like to meet in person to play. I was thinking of something like Monaco but more suggestions would be very welcome.

I had a really good time playing Satellite Reign with 2 friends, it's a little bit like Monaco in that it's top-down, real-time co-op about cyberpunk sci-fi heisting, but unlike Monaco it's very combat heavy. One huge warning about SR co-op though is that if the players aren't kind of in tune with each other and quick to react to each others' decisions it becomes nearly impossible to progress, if one of the players is bad at videogames for example you'll just get frustrated, it needs all four characters to work together as a well-oiled machine and since each player has a specific role to fill (soldier who handles all of the heavy combat, hacker who needs to separate from the group very often and remain concealed while still moving forward, assassin who can get to places other people can't and whittle down enemy defenses) one person who's not very good at what they're doing creates a pretty big gap on the team. That being said, there's very very little penalty for failure in the game and as long as you don't mind it, you can just try again when you respawn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFZVXG0g40Q

I'm looking for some mostly text-based (simple 2D graphics are ok, but it should be functional - it's an issue I actually have with many modern strategy games, they are flashy and have nice shader effects and a 3D map when a simple graph overview in some situations would be preferable and less tiring) strategy game that'll scratch my C64 "startegy games that just consist of text" itch, but with added complexity modern computers can bring. Lots of fiddly systems and mechanical interactions are a plus. I know all the classics and also games like the Democracy or Crusader Kings series. A unique setting would also be a bonus. Show me games where I can make numbers go up!

Can anyone recommend a game with an eastern setting, preferably in the past or just pure fantasy. Not too fussed on specific genre, just in the mood to play something like Jade Empire that I haven't played, was rewatching Avatar and it's made me want something with that sort of flavour. Stuff I have already played that might fit this. Onimusha 1, 2 and 3 Tenchu Jade Empire

The Nobunaga series is interesting (although overpriced imo) if you like strategy and Romance of the Three Kingdoms is similar.

What about Nioh? It is like Onimusha + Dark Souls. Yakuza games are also good and finally getting some recognization the west. There is no fantasy in them though but its purely eastern setting.

Toukiden 1 and 2 are monster hunter-likes with a heavy Eastern influence. Wuxia games are great and is what Jade Empire draws influence from but the number you can play in English is limited, on steam you've got Tale of Wuxia which leans way heavily on the goofy side of things but also there's http://store.steampowered.com/app/427030/The_Gate_of_Firmament/ which is more like a JRPG.

I'm looking to fill the void of open world games in my life. Would Ghost Recon Wildlands be worth playing single player? Also are there any other games like saints row 2 where the city feels really unique, filled with a whole load of stuff to do? I'm sick and tired of how the other saints rows/gta's are like where they make a good looking city (steelport does not count at all) but with no point of exploring them, feeling like a husk of a place.

Guavatin posted:I'm looking to fill the void of open world games in my life. Would Ghost Recon Wildlands be worth playing single player? This has been my experience with open world games lately as well. Long ago I used to marvel at the mere concept that one day they might make a game with a huge city filled with streets and stores and alleys... and that's rather the basest expectation of a city-based open world game now. I think it was that one game...True Crime? It was basically GTA but you were a cop and it had a supposedly accurate reproduction of Los Angeles in it. But...I remember driving through the city thinking, who gives a poo poo? There's nothing between point A and point B plotwise, and even though it may be meticulously hand-crafted, it's still just full of randomly spawned NPCs and cars. When Morrowind was new, it engrossed me like nothing else because I found a simple non-magical, essentially junk ring at the bottom of a lake. It was just there, on its own, and I thought that poo poo was loving amazing, because it had been placed there for a reason. What would you think if you found a ring in a lake? Maybe it belonged to someone, an engagement ring, or...something...I mean, there wasn't anything more to it, but there's something special about that poo poo when it's very deliberately put there. I felt like Oblivion was an empty shell with nothing interesting going on, mostly because of scaling, their dungeons weren't randomized in-game but they were built using random seeds. I dig open world, generated games, but it never feels real or anything even close to real.

I'd love a game that was basically Morrowind but with combat that would be at home in a brawler or FPS series, and good enough to just stand on its own without being attached to an RPG. The actual act of hitting someone with a sword or shooting a gun always feels awful in Bethesda games, regardless of whether the particular game in question has a well-designed, lived-in world or not. The only game I can think of that really scratched that itch for me is the STALKER series, and they have their own problems, obviously. (Buggy as hell and sadly a lot more linear than they initially look.)

It's a big map, but not especially interesting. You can always give it a shot on Steam, and if you don't like it, you can return it as long as you don't play over two hours. For a unique city experience, the Hong Kong in Sleeping Dogs is much more fun than the endless jungles of Wildlands.

If you are okay with 2D RPGs, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 have excellent cities and are an example of Bioware pre-EA at its peak.

On the subject of open world games, Just Cause 3 was (maybe still is?) for free for PS+ members, and my girlfriend is one so she got it. The problem is, even on the PS4 the game suffers from erratic slowdowns and loading times are awful. I've played Just Cause games before and I know that I like to die repeatedly in the middle of huge explosions again and again because this poo poo amuses me, but I cannot deal with loading times that are greater than 20 seconds. Especially since that's about how long I intend to live before dying again in some ridiculous way. I have a pretty good computer, I guess, so my question is, does this game have any weird bugginess to it that would cause me to experience the same slowdowns/loading times on PC? Or is it even worth buying at all?
