And I don't mean Grimrock with its real-time combat, I mean good stuff like Operation Abyss and StarCrawlers. Think Shin Megami Tensei 1+2 and/or Wizardry and you know what I want. I played some of Heroes of a Broken Land and it was okay, but even a Small world can take a hundred hours to complete. Setting the movement/combat speed higher is a good idea for that one. Also, of note is that everything's randomly generated and there aren't any puzzles. Just relatively simple mazes and enemies.

Any recommendations for free/cheap racing games on PC? I've played a bit of Trackmania Nations earlier this year and it was kinda fun, but the tracks get a little repetitive for me and I'm not a huge fan of how the gameplay is tuned for constantly resetting to perfect the track. Also the UI is frankly pretty poo poo and I remember I couldn't get it to play nicely with my XBox controller. I prefer more arcade-y/fun-focused games and have no interest in realism or the like, whether in controls or in tracks/races/whatever. F1 isn't my kind of thing. Other than Trackmania the last racer I played was like, NFS Underground 2 I think.

Has there been a good mecha customization game since Armored Core 4A? V didn't do it for me, and the Battletech mechs don't usually have the build your own element I'm looking for.

My girlfriend gets really competitive/annoyed that I'm good at video games and she isn't and hasn't been able to get mad at any of these fwiw

i'm looking for a fantasy game where instead of being a hero going on an epic journey, you're more "a person living in the world," who's fulfilling some kind of specific role in society. that role can be "being a murderhobo" if murderhoboing is less "a plucky kid and his band of friends out to kill god" and more "a reasonable career path that many others have chosen." games i've played already that fit into what i'm looking for: recettear final fantasy tactics A2 most of the crystal chronicles games majesty graveyard keeper rune factory i already know moonlighter exists but i can't say the game interests me terribly (for reasons aside from the criteria i'm looking for here)

Age of Decadence if you don't mind a bit of toughness/grognardery. LISA, more post apocalyptic and crushingly depressing but very small scale. Drakensang: the River of Time is pretty much just murderhobos on a murder quest, it's a late-00s Euro RPG in every way but holds up well NWN2 Storm of Zehir is all about building up your adventuring company and making bank on trade routes and mini adventures with little overarching plot, some were disappointed but I really enjoyed it

A couple things you can try: Battle Chef Brigade (PC, Switch, PS4) is a 2D action platforming/tile-matching puzzle game where you hunt monsters and gather various ingredients to cook various meals with the ultimate goal of winning a grand monster-cooking tournament. And if you can find it, Gladius (PS2, XBox, GC) is a game where you run a gladiatorial school in fantasy (kind of surprising with the generic name I know) not-Europe so they can participate in leagues and earn awards/rewards. It's a tactics game, and you can choose whether to have attack results decided by RNG or by mini-games.

thanks for the recs guys, i appreciate it, though these recs are making me think i need to clarify what i'm looking for a bit better so i'm not really looking for a game where thing like dialogue are nonexistent (there not being much to the "plot" is fine if there's still character interactions), and i brought up murderhobos not because i'm looking for that specifically, but because fantasy games like to put you in the role of a hero and that is one thing that can fit what i'm looking for, if murderhobo is like, a job you are employed in rather than a lifestyle you just sort of take up because being a farmer doesn't really work for the story the game is telling. so like in tactics A2, while you are a murderhobo, you're part of an organized system of murderhobos (the clans), there are many other murderhobos out there that you'll never meet, and the average citizen interacts with murderhobos somewhat regularly. in this world, parents are hanging around thinking that it'd be just swell if their children took up the legitimate career of being a murderhobo if they have a natural knack for murderhoboing, and the majority of the game is you performing murderhobo tasks for townsfolk rather than being on some epic plot-driven quest maybe the best way i can put it is, i'm looking for a game where you're playing as a person fulfilling some kind of job in a larger society, a job that just about anyone could consider taking up as their livelihood, and indeed there are probably other people in the world doing the exact same thing you are. my life is depressing and i want to vicariously pretend i live in a world with dragons, but like a reasonable normal person in that world with dragons ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Jun 28, 2019 |

If drop-in coop can give you that feeling and you have someone to play with I recommend Outward. It’s a bit hard and the combat is a little clunky but I’ve never had a stronger sense of just being an adventurer in a fantasy world rather than the hero.

ninjewtsu posted:thanks for the recs guys, i appreciate it, though these recs are making me think i need to clarify what i'm looking for a bit better Legend of Heroes Trail in the Sky is a jrpg that starts out as this - the two protagonists join up with the Bracer guild and they're basically freelance cops/adventurers/explorers who go around their country doing good stuff for pay. 70% of the first game is them learning the ropes and getting oriented in their jobs as they solve problems and it's really charming, and then the final act escalates things to a more "save the country" level, but it feels good and natural. The second game goes a bit off the rails and is more standard jrpg adventure than life as a bracer, but eh, the first game is huge and very comforting to play.

I'm looking for something that might not exist.. Is there a game where you're kind of managing a society who has to go out and scavenge for resources in a hostile landscape? Maybe where they can find rare weapons or equipment or locations to e something and I can decide who gets it.. I don't know what I'm really looking for, I think I just want a Fallout Shelter or something on PC that doesn't suck.
