So the person I'm playing with has an "hp stream" laptop which is a very weak machine, but they do also have a ps4 so PC-ps4 crossplay is also an optionTuxedo Catfish posted:I really enjoyed Wyv and Keep but I'm not sure if the multiplayer is currently functional; they had some problems with that in development, and I'm not sure the game ever took off enough for the servers to stay up. I'll take a look into this! If anyone can confirm is the online multiplayer works or not thatd be great too

FPS RPGs should have mostly been on console. STALKER is amazing definitely play that (and then play it again with mods). Games like DayZ or ARK sound cool in theory but in practice... I don't think you missed anything. Boz0r posted:Are there any modern games like Dungeon Master? The best one is Evil Genius, which is about to get a sequel. The original is still pretty great. IIRC they made a new Dungeon Master as a mobile game and it was full of bs microtransactions.

Looking for an RPG - after many bounces off of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, I fell in love Divinity Original Sin 2 was just fine as well Deadfire bores to me to tears repeatedly Tyranny I enjoyed to completion all of the old school Gold Box/D&D/Baldur's Gate type games I have either completed or come close enough to feel good. I'm trying Operancia again and really hate how the mobs are more about tricks, but enjoyed Bard's Tale 4 enough to finish it. Xulima was rear end. All of the Might & Magic games (including 1 and 2 on my Commodore 64 100 years ago) I have completed. Wizardry series, including 8 just haven't clicked for me. Grimrock games I played far enough to feel good about them. Dragon's Age series, Dragon's Dogma, Witcher series I have gone through. Greedfall and Outer Worlds I maybe should revisit as I stopped on them fairly early? Masquerade is just too old and clunky in combat now for me to appreciate, again, big talk from someone who gamed on his C64. So it can be solo or party based, top down or first person, it can be fairly independent, but not pixel (unless it's REALLY good). Big story is welcome or it can be small, combat can be meaningful or lots of burn and churn, as long as the mobs are not gimmicks. Completely vague I know, but pointing out I have played a ton of RPGs and would love something similar and am open to ideas.

Travel the world in a ship / space ship / train, explore exotic locales and read their stories, gather up equipment and loot to eke out a survival and get you to the next port of call. Edit: or now that I think more, maybe Underrail or Atom RPG? Both Russian style survival / Fallout-like RPGs. Cantorsdust fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 16, 2021 |

For something smaller, maybe try Masquerada: Songs and Shadows? It's bite-sized for an RPG and streamlines a lot of mechanics but I found it thoroughly enjoyable.

Thank you all for the suggestions! Avernum I will try again at some point, I really want to like the Spiderweb games. Darklands I struggled with when I had it on the C64, I'm not sure if I can get into it again. The other suggestions I will definitely be delving into though!

Elwood P Dowd posted:Thank you all for the suggestions! If you are cool with something in the vein of Avernum, check out Underrail. Similar grid based, low budget exploration heavy tactical RPG, but solo, with a more involved story, and with much deeper customization and a Metro 33 inspired post-apocalyptic theme. E: Now I see it's been mentioned already, so I second the recommendation. ATOM, from the same post, is also good, a less serious take on Fallout, and these days it's surprisingly polished. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jan 16, 2021 |

It was pretty cheap on Fanatical at some point but seems to not be sold there anymore. I have noticed this with a few games listed on isthereanydeal. They always list the cheapest price as fanatical but when I check its not there any more. I always considered Fanatical slightly sketchy but they always had good prices on occasion.

I've recommended it before, and it's basically Deus Ex and Warhammer 40K in a fever dream. A very quality FPS IMO. Every gun feels very meaty and purposeful. Now, that said, it's a very-fancy Source mod in terms of graphics and technical quality, but if you can tolerate that it's a good game. Frequently goes on sale for $5 or $2.50 as well.

How do I not bounce off of E.Y.E.? I've tried maybe 3 times and it is just so obtuse. It absolutely seems like the kind of game just loaded to the gills with trap skill picks and potential to end up horrificly underpowered.

It's been a while, but just set everything to Metastreum and reroll until numbers are good, and that's pretty much the only big thing for not getting horrifically underpowered from the start. Otherwise, just shoot things good.

It absolutely seems like the kind of game just loaded to the gills with trap skill picks and potential to end up horrificly underpowered. 1) At the beginning of the game set all gene picks to Metastreum and just keep rolling until all your numbers are green. 2) Understand the game's "fatal wound" system. This is probably the main complaint I see about the game. Every time you die you have a chance to get a fatal wound. This is a permanent debuff to your stats. You can't initially fix this, and if you die enough at the beginning of the game you could theoretically get into a situation where your stats are just too lovely to keep playing. Fatal wounds can be cured with the Bio Regeneration research. There are 5 of these, 1 for each type of fatal wound. I don't usually advise people to look up tech trees, but for this specifically I recommend looking up EYE's tech tree and beelining for those first. 3) Turn down the difficulty until you can cure fatal wounds. There are multiple settings controlling difficulty and amount of spawns and stealth settings. Turn down difficulty significantly and spawn amount slightly until you get a feel for the combat. Much better to play on a lower difficulty for a while than to get a fatal wound you're temporarily stuck with. 4) Keybind the alchemy power and learn to use it often. Alchemy will turn any item the enemy drops (eg guns or ammo) into health for a small energy cost and is your best healing method throughout the game. 5) Grind vs cheat for rare research drops. Research in the game starts with silver briefcase drops. These give you a random starting research, and the tree builds from there. Problem is that these drops are random and you can get the same research multiple times. Some research drops are exceedingly rare. You either have to accept grinding like a motherfucker for some of these (in which case I recommend lowering the difficulty but increasing the spawn rate to max to maximize your chances for drops), or cheat. There are custom maps you can download that just spit out silver briefcases for you. If you're tired of waiting for rare drops then just do that until you have all the starting researches. 6) Upgrade your legs first and keep your weight as low as possible. Don't go carrying 2 main weapons and a sidearm and ammo for them all and grenades just because you can. Carry 1 main weapon, 1 sidearm, and sparing amounts of ammo for them (you'll pick up enough). Consider the light armor instead of the heavy. Maps in this game are huge, and moving at a crawl will just lead to frustration.
