Thanks for the rec, though. yeah it sadly has this super "commercial kids tv show" visuals which are really awful. I managed to ignore it and didn't do any kind of social stuff but I can totaly relate to that thought. Building and the environment is quite nice though.

poo poo, I forgot to reply to the reclamation game suggestions  Thanks a bunch for the titles!They Are Billions: I've burned myself on early access games so I'd rather wait until it actually gets finished. And it seems more of a "desperate fight to not lose ground" which is the opposite of comfy rebuilding. Prince of Persia 2008: Is the purifying just a theme, or reflected in the mechanics in any way? Looks like totally the wrong type of game for me, but I'll go see some videos. Blightfall for Minecraft: Will check. Simcity series: My problem with it is that you never reclaim the land organically in meltdown scenarios, you've just got the contamination you have to build around until it goes away by itself. Post-earthquake/hurricane scenarios would be more what I'm looking for (restoring after an extensive but removable disaster) but it still feels way too... clinical/planned(?). Rebuild, Terranigma, Waking Mars: I know and have beaten those. Good recommendations, I actually replayed Rebuild 1/2 after that post. Littlewood: It does look properly rebuildy, but it doesn't seem out yet. I'll file it away until release. Okami: Oh poo poo, I actually have this and never got around to beating it. I totally forgot it had that purification theme. It seems I have my fix for now.

they are billions is outstanding but insanely nerve-wracking, and one misstep can result in a death spiral which will likely lead to total base destruction especially if a wave is on the way or the cause of the trouble, and ESPECIALLY on the harder difficulties. on the easier difficulties it's pretty much a cakewalk once you learn the nuances of each unit(except the flamethrower guy, who is useless). Learning certain rules of the game, such as how loud certain units are(soldiers in particular early on), when to pull units back to save veterans from getting overwhelmed, learning to build "scratching posts"(single wood wall sections to distract the individual roamer infected from wandering too close to your base proper until you can deal with them), etc help get you past the early game where you are extremely vulnerable. and on the final day of a playthrough, you are given one day's warning before the Final Wave. When the announcer warns of an endless swarm heading towards your base, he shouts "there's no end to them...they...they are billions!", the fog of war vanishes giving you full view of the map, and the minimap begins to flood with red from every single direction. Every Infected you have not killed on the map gets swept up alongside the incoming horde and beelines for your base. And then, this music starts playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wRfj0OKZXM It's an extremely powerful effect and the actual final day is intense as hell, and really, really puts your computer to the test, it's really impressive how many they cram onscreen at once. edit: despite it being early access I still got 80+ hours out of the survival mode, before they've added any story mode. Only real complaint is a few units(aforementioned flamethrower dude) being terribly designed/balanced and some of the dialogue is insanely cringeworthy(the ranger, specifically).

Pierzak posted:poo poo, I forgot to reply to the reclamation game suggestions Fair enough. The reason why I mentioned is that the campaign will be focused on pushing back the zombie horde and reclaiming territory from them. THe survival maps are kinda like that as well, you start with a very small base and have to clear zombies from the areas around you in order to have room for your building/settlers (in order to get big and trong enough to survive the final day). No harm in waiting of course.

No aerodynamics there, but maybe Hellion? It has that 1st person survival element, but building is limited to repairing and connecting together existing modules that you find drifting in space.

OK this isn't necessarily a game recommendation I'm looking for but I can't find the "what was the name of that game again" thread. I played a game in the last... few years where there was a late-game unlock or option to turn on manual combo inputs or moves. Sort of like fighting game combos or button inputs which would allow you to pull off powerful attacks? It wasn't a menu option, it was an accessory or transformation kind of thing. From that, I'm thinking it must have been an action-RPG of some kind, or simple action game. This was obviously a sort of high-skill-ceiling option where using it could be extremely powerful but it was also really hard to master. I think it was either on the 3DS or PC, but *maybe* PS3. I don't even necessarily want to play it again, I just thought of it while playing Yakuza Kiwami 2, I went into extreme heat mode and it has a few more contextual moves and inputs which for some reason triggered this memory. That might be a hint of some kind. Alternately I might be insane. Thank you. Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 19:52 on May 20, 2019 |

it wasn't a Tales game (or, I think, as old as that) but that's along the right lines. It was maybe closer to like... needing to be a lot more precise with button inputs? Like an Arkham game where you get a better score multiplier for timing your attacks except the difference was more pronounced? I hope I wake up and don't have a clue what I was babbling about because I think I'm going prodromal about this Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 00:35 on May 21, 2019 |

There's also Ryu(/Ken) in Smash Bros. where you get benefits for doing the proper inputs, the secret Street Fighter weapons in the Megaman X games based on moves, and also Symphony of the Night and maybe some other Castlevania games had special inputs.

I finally got it!! The Armiger Unleashed transformation in ff15, that was added in the PC version and gives you much more technical control over the otherwise fairly automated battle system. It's a late game power up because it requires all the Armiger weapons, and adds powerful combos and moves you can pull off by timing your attack strings, which feels super different to any of the other combat styles and livens up the somewhat bland combat by a lot. just in case anyone else was wondering! That also explains why Yakuza reminded me of it because it gives you a similar blue glow and they're both modern action-ish Japanese games. I think I was going to have an aneurysm if I didn't remember that. I don't even know why it was bothering me so much.

Hi everyone! I recently played through both La Mulana games, and I'd like something similar. Simon's Quest in Castlevania Collection also scratches that itch but obviously that game has issues. Is there something similar I could play? I guess something like an exploration platformer that resembles Metroidvania, but more puzzle-based.

I'm looking for a good hack-n-slash dungeon crawler. Something not too difficult but also not completely mindless. Like, I want something more tactile than an isometric RPG. Preferably a third person action game. Press button, swing sword, type. I was watching an old Dark Cloud 2 video and was kinda wanting something in that vein of gameplay.

It's cheap, and if you crank the difficulty up to hard or (do not do this) chaos or nightmare, it goes from being a mindless button-masher to a bit more involved with breaking the opponent's guard, saving musou attacks to keep yourself alive when they break out theirs, and actually needing to wipe out mooks (especially archers) in order to survive. Also the story is surprisingly great, and if you don't care for the story there are two other modes that have a lot of variety to them. I like it a lot!
