Patrician IV lets you buy out all the manufacturing businesses and then engage in price fixing. The Guild is really good for manufacturing, too, but it's older, and Guild 2 was not quite the same, and Guild 3 is kind of etherware at the moment, which is a real shame.

I really like card based combat. Slay The Spire, Fate Hunters, Deep Sky Derelicts, etc. Are there other good ones I should look at?

I think Big Pharma fits the bill for all you parameters, except sometimes making the best product that does exactly what everybody wants could destroy your profitability for dystopia reasons. Other than that, all I can think of is Game Developer Story, which is a lot more shallow. Comrade Blyatlov posted:I really like card based combat.

The music is phenomenal, the runs are short (never had anything over 30 minutes), the characters are very varied, the gameplay is challenging, and the humor is decent enough.

Slime Rancher has prices that change, but it's more like the prices just go down if you sell a lot of one item and go back up over time. The market reacts to you, but there's no direct competition with other businesses. Not sure if that was the important part.

Arabian Jesus posted:Are there any sport simulation games that my friends and I can play online together? Have you checked out the Frozen Synapse games? It's a tactical game where you control a squad of androids with random (but symmetrical) load outs on random maps, which can be played entirely asynchronously if desired. I've played a game with a friend over several days at one point. Edit: Sorry, missed the part where you said group of guys, afaik Frozen Synapse is only two players, but I haven't dug too deep into the second one yet.

Chamale posted:I did a season of Out Of The Park Baseball with my friends. We drafted teams of any player from history, then I simulated the season in two-week chunks and gave everyone a weekly update. So my friends didn't need to be online to play, but they could set lineups and pitching rotations for their teams. I had Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds, but I got swept in the World Series by the guy who picked a team of postseason superstars like Sandy Koufax and Mariano Rivera. This sounds fun; thanks for the recommendation

worms reloaded is good, but you could always play it safe performance-wise and pick up Worms Armageddon, which is ancient but still rock solid. just...maybe avoid some of the more racist caricature voice packs like the japanese kamikaze guys and such.double nine posted:I could use a recommendation for 3-player multiplayer co-op, for laptops not built for gaming (lenovo-types).

What's the best single player first person shooter right now that I can buy at a fairly heavy discount? I know Doom Eternal is all the rage, but I really don't want to drop $50-60. I'm looking for something that isn't completely on rails and has some choice in builds, direction, items, etc., but also has more going for it than death matches with bots. Something like Prey? I don't know. Please help, Goon Collective. EDIT: Forgot to add, I'm looking at PC - generally speaking, except for things that don't require precising aiming like the Dark Souls games, I've never been able to manage FPS games on a console controller.

Coming off a Darksiders binge, again (You all should play all the Darksiders). Want something hack and slashy and good. With world and secrets, RPG elements is a plus. Bounced off Dark Souls Remastered when I got cursed by a rat in the sewers and the only way to remove it was to run all the way there and maybe not even then. Otherwise DS was pretty fine. Have played: Nier Automata Middle Earth: Shadow of... All the 0451 games again and again All the Riddick First 2 batmans rear end Creed up to Rogue but I'm a bit burned out on that for now All the Dragon Age All the Mass Effect Playing on PC but preferably with controller. Muchos gracias!

I will say, if you're burned out on the style of earlier Assassin's Creed, Origins and Odyssey are still good moves. On top of the (improved) stealth/parkour/assassination systems, they've put in a proper combat system with dodging/blocking and a variety of attacks and all that good stuff, with RPG gearing, a skill tree, and proper questing, so they're basically just open world RPGs. Odyssey's the better one but Origins is still well worth playing if you're at all interested in the setting or just more of that style of game. Otherwise yeah Witcher 3 is definitely the bet game you haven't mentioned.

Even if the gameplay were trash (which it isn't, thank god) I'd still rec it because my god.

It's Egypt, both the historical parts and the mystic bullshit parts, are wonderfully designed. I took way more screenshots of it than I ever have of any other game.

I sunk deep into Odyssey, but after a point the trash randomly generated sidequests ground me down. Do they have those in Origin? Origin's setting sounded kinda lame to me. I don't really know much about ancient egypt, but I do know that the period they set it in was long after all the famous monuments were built and abandoned, leaving only ruins, the nation ruled by a greek family and well on its way to falling under Roman influence and losing independence for the next thousand or so years to be just a possession of far greater empires. InAndOutBrennan posted:Coming off a Darksiders binge, again (You all should play all the Darksiders). Want something hack and slashy and good. With world and secrets, RPG elements is a plus. I'd recommend going back to Dark Souls at some point, but I'd also like to suggest The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. It takes a fair amount of influence from Mass Effect 2, and it's a nice game, even if you can see the scars from its development hell. There's also Sleeping Dogs if you haven't checked that out, probably the best city-based open world, and it still manages to have a fun combat system that isn't totally taken over by gunplay. Also there's Bastion. It's not a big huge open world, and it's not full-3D, just isometric, but it still feels deep, and it's one of my favorite games.

SlothfulCobra posted:I sunk deep into Odyssey, but after a point the trash randomly generated sidequests ground me down. Do they have those in Origin? So far I haven't seen any randomly generated sidequests in Origins except for "random player died here, avenge them?" stuff, which is ignorable. The last quest I did a few days ago was killing a child slavery ring and it has a surprising amount of dialogue plus an investigation sequence. The setting is Egypt in decline, but that's still fascinating. You explore the ruins, you visit the still-populated temples and cities, you help out a ton of egyptians as your wife tries to involve you in the asscreed plot to team up with cleopatra to kill king ptolemy or some bullshit I'm ignoring. Most of the major targets so far have been corrupt egyptians, and there was a cool shootout in one of the big pyramids.

I thank you all for your suggestions. Forgot to mention Witcher 3 which I've done. Dragon's Dogma sounds like a wonderful quarantine rabbit hole to plunge in to. Also Saints Row which I haven't tried yet. And maybe also the new rear end Creeds. Now I have a plan when I'm done with this replay of WH40K Spess Mahrine.
