"For example, the search results for 坪枯れ are entirely in Japanese and all they reveal is that it's a disease caused by brown planthoppers. So I had to reverse lookup brown planthoppers in English and discover that they're known for spreading two rice viruses, one of which is called Rice Ragged Stunt Virus, which lines up with the meaning of the Japanese kanji. But there's no indication online that these Japanese and English terms are related at all without someone connecting the dots themselves.

Shine posted:NGU IDLE: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1147690/NGU_IDLE/ I'd argue that the inventory management is overwhelming. Then when you hit macguffin fragments you have to worry about switching zones and losing your combo count. That's when I quit, and realized that the babysitting aspects of the game made it more like farmville than an idle game.

Stardew Valley is definitely a good suggestion, and by the time you get to year 2 or 3 if you want to go hunting for bigger numbers, there's an automation mod. If you don't want to waste time on a wiki and don't mind using the next-to-last Terraria update, Recipe Browser and Boss Checklist are a big help. No need to look anything up in a guide, its all in-game.

When Monster Hunter World launched I heard it had that horrible "the mouse controls are just the game awkwardly emulating controller input" issue that plagues bad ports and I stayed away. Did they ever patch that?

Looking for a good asymmetric single player strategy game. As I understand it sorcerer king is pretty much exactly what I want, except apparently the game isn't very good. AI Wars also seems pretty close except I launched AI Wars 1 once like 6 years ago and moused over one of the 30 different unit types and the info overlay flooded my entire screen with way more statistics than I wanted to have to learn. Is there any middle ground out there where the game will be fun to play and also won't take me hours to learn the base mechanics of?

AI wars 2 is supposed to be more accessible I think isn't it? I don't play them so check else where before buying though. They are billions or frostpunk maybe? Haven't played either personally but they got a decent amount of traffic here a while back. Majesty is a great asymmetric SP game.

So far it's scratching all the right buttons, especially once I switched to gamepad instead of K&M. Music's an ear worm in a good way, a single round doesn't outstay its welcome, and I bet co-op would kick loving rear end from the feel of the gameplay Said gameplay is pretty basic twin-stick controls, which suits the hell out of me and my drifting attention span

Hwurmp posted:Creeper World Seconding this, Creeper World 4 just launched. It's been exciting to see it grow from a flash game to a full series on Steam. All 4 games are good in different ways, but the basic premise of each is that there's an ever-growing blue goo on each map that you have to hold back with turrets until you can grow your economy enough to overwhelm it and escape the planet. Having played through them all way too much, my only complaint is that the games are pretty easy once you get the formula down, and once you're no longer in danger of being overwhelmed, you're in no danger at all and the rest of the level is just 10-15 minutes of cleanup, but I find each one really satisfying in a pick up and play sort of way. The campaigns don't wear out their welcome and they include a lot of bonus missions if you want more.

I must come up with a game for people wanting to get me something for Christmas. I love games with great soundtracks and great storylines. Additionally but not a must, I also like shorter games, I like 2D platformers, great settings, and new experiences. I usually like small focused games over massive open-world. Anyone have a recommendation for PS4 or Switch? In 2013, I asked something similar here and was told Nier, and I love this thread to death for that. (and thankfully trusted the recommendation even though the game was really poorly reviewed) Edit: All I’ve bought in a long time is FF7 Remake, Last of Us 2, and Control. some bust on that guy fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Dec 15, 2020 |

Streets of Rage 4 has a loving great soundtrack. The storyline is what you'd expect from a sequel to an old Sega Genesis series (skip cutscenes and you'll miss nothing important), but it ticks your other boxes. Excellent entry to an old-as-dirt genre.

I usually like small focused games over massive open-world. Wonderful 101 might be your jam. It's newly remade for systems other than the Wii-U, and Platinum Games tend to have a lot of similarities in how they play. It's very tonally different from Nier, but still very good in its own way. Conceptually it's power rangers crossed with Pikmin and Okami, and there's a free demo to feel it out. There's also a theme song. The game has a fully orchestral soundtrack. For platformers, I think the best one in a long while has been Hollow Knight, and there's also Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove and Celeste. For new experiences, there's VA-11 Hall-A, although that's more on the visual novel side of things, and Crypt of the Necrodancer, a rhythm-based roguelike.

5thMouseButton posted:Android games? Sproggiwood is a goonmade mobile roguelike that meets your needs. Buy once, pay once, and gameplay is much..."chunkier" than usual roguelike bump-attacking fare (small numbers, limited RNG). You have a very good idea of what's going to happen as a consequence of your actions. The default difficulty is reasonably straightforward, but the hard difficulty really rewards being able to predict several turns into the future.

I like games where an orderly situation turns into chaos, with a bunch of moving parts that can get broken. Then you have to either repair the situation, or escape. Some games that do this well include Left 4 Dead, FTL, Project Winter, and the board game Roborally. What are some other games like this?
