Are there any good games out there that have the specific loot/grinding/progression loop of Monster Hunter: World that aren't monster hunter?

StrixNebulosa posted:God Eater Just the general grind for specific loot/use loot to fight bigger thing to get other specific loot with lots of different locations and choices. It's different from something like Diablo because you know generally where to find the thing you're looking for, allowing you to set big goals for your character.

Yet the way it works would be weird, I suspect. anilEhilated posted:If you don't mind it being a turn-based 4X, Endless Legend has a faction just for you. Necrophages, I assume? That does look intriguing, I'll add it to my wishlist!

If you were ok with something that involved quick but interesting turn based tactical battles against each other then I'd suggest Frozen Synapse. It can probably run on pretty much anything. There's a sequel that looks great, but I've not played it. Had a lot of fun with Monaco for co-op heist action that could fit the bill and has low requirements. Screenshots make it look confusing, but in motion it is actually really easily readable.

I enjoyed the mapping and slightly obtuse puzzles and exploration of La Mulana, but the bosses were hard enough that I just couldn't work up the oomph to push through and get back to the parts of the game I enjoyed. Is there anything else that might scratch that itch?

Is there anything else that might scratch that itch? Axiom Verge is much closer to the traditional metroidvania formula than La Mulana but it still has some light puzzle-like elements, particularly if you try to gather and translate all the in-game lore.

My mom is going to visit me in a couple weeks, and I know she'd love to try out my new VR setup. What games should I show her? I was thinking something simple and lighthearted/funny, nothing that's overwhelming or scary. I have an Index if that matters.

I think Beat Saber also has universal appeal, but that can get pretty hard.

Hwurmp posted:Environmental Station Alpha Yeah the postgame of ESA has some good stuff like that. Anodyne has some in the endgame. Anodyne 2 sadly has very little exploration/obtuse puzzle aspect aside from the collectibles. Baba Is You has what some people might consider obtuse puzzles...

If La-Mulana is too hard for you then I would hesitate to recommend Environment Station Alpha. I feel like ESA is the harder of the two games, even if you ignore all the bonus/postgame stuff.

So I have an odd itch: I want sort of a management sim where you control or direct minions to gather resources, craft things out of the resources, sell or use those things, and continue expanding. Factorio didn't hit the itch for me due to the logistics robots coming so late, and Graveyard Keeper makes the zombies too fiddly to use. I could use modded Minecraft I guess, but is there a game dedicated to specifically minions doing my work?

Rimworld is a pretty good choice, though I prefer to actually be an entity in the world rather than something looking down from on high. Graveyard Keeper was -so- close to being what I wanted.

Can anyone recommend a strategy(ish) game on the PC that works well with a controller? I loved XCOM2 a while back, I've also put a bunch of hours into Slay The Spire, Darkest Dungeon and Into the Breach. I've tried Divinity Original Sin 2 -- but for some reason the RPG storyline elements didn't really gel with me. Any suggestions? The controller is the most important part, I don't have a PC with keyboard + mouse setup anymore.

Disgaea's on PC now, it's console-based so presumably it has good controller support.

The Banner Saga games are beautiful strategy rpgs with a great artistic direction Heat Signature is a real time top down action game, but with intense levels of planning and split second strategy Hard West is like xcom but in the wild west, and there is supernatural poo poo Massive Chalice is Doublefine's take on a xcom style strategy Monaco is a heist game where each character has a special skill, cute art style, might be hard to play well single player Surviving Mars has full controller support I THINK This War of Mine, but don't play it, too sad All the Valkyria Chronicles games

I was also going to recommend desperados 3. Best game of the year in my opinion. You could try shadow tactics shogun first, the studios' previous game. It's also extremely good and cheaper (it goes on sale every once in a while). Besides that, you can always emulate some old console games on your pc...

Based on my first few hours with it, it's pretty fun, but the UI isn't as good as it should be. Kennel fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Oct 13, 2020 |

Skulls of the Shogun is a great little lightweight strategy game, it was released on PS4 so the controller support on PC is integrated very well. Download an PS2 emulator and play the original Kessen.
