Europa Unversalis 4, Victoria II, Deus Ex, Fallout New Vegas, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Hitman 2, Sims 3, Stardew. That's the Steam list Other than that. Ps1 Crash Bandicoot 2,3 Spyro just one, Metal Gear Solid, Battle Hunters PS2 SMT3, Shadow Heart 2, San Andreas, Ace Combat Zero, MSG: Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam, Jak II and III and the Ratchet and Clank games, Bully PS3 Dark Souls 2, MGS4, Red Dead and the Saboteur are the only games with more than 100 hours PS4 BloodBorne, Sekiro, and Red Dead II are the only games with more than 100 hours. Spiderman is close GameCube Custom Robo, WindWaker GBC Pokemon Blue, Oracle of Ages and Seasons GBA Emerald, Fire red, (3)DS Rune Factory 4, Black and White 2, Etrian Odyssey IV, N64 Mischief Makers, Pokemon Stadium, Majora's Mask Genesis Gunstar Heroes Non Steam PC games Emperor and other Impressions city builders, Roller coaster Tycoon 2, Age of Empires III, Imperialism, Doom, Fallout 1, There's some I'm forgetting but that should give you an idea Deus Ex, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and New Vegas blow the other games out of the water each easily has a thousand hours in it. Some of the early pokemon games do to probably but counting games I played as a kid is cheating.

This game is so good and the Trese Brothers are so active and transparent that I backed their next game Cyber Knights on kickstarter. It is the first and probably the only time I will fork over money for a product that doesn't exist.

No tech tree, either. Greater emphasis on stealth mechanics, but full-lethal is a fun strategy. But when it comes to similarity, there's also the importance of information in the tactical game, the mission selection interface, the squad loadout features, the character progression systems, the notion of acting as a plucky rebel assault force fighting the rest of the world... there's really a lot of similarity The developers even cite XCOM as a source of inspiration. XCOM's influence is all over that game even if it is designed to be a different game.

So when you said this: site posted:That isn't a loving xcom game I agreed, because that's true. Invisible Inc is not an XCOM game. I even outlined few of their differences. But if you play both of them there are also a lot of similarities, which is why people compare them so often Like you can go to my other posts where I say they are different games if you want to, I'm not denying that they're different QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Invisible inc is a freaking stealth game and while xcom 2 added some stealth elements it very much is not a stealth game. They are both very good at what they do and are complete different genres that both happen to be turn based tactics games. That said, by the time invisible inc came out I was so worn down by every turn based game being "like xcom" it didn't particularly bother me that they get compared. And quite frankly I loved turn based tactics games and firaxcom1 made them popular again, so gently caress it it was worth the price.

In my opinion, arguments that revolve around generalizations of quality for games based on the size of the studio, platform exclusivity, or whatever other aspect of games that becomes increasingly irrelevant over time as playing those games becomes easier due to emulation and piracy are significantly less interesting than complaining about Tenchu not getting more good successors and getting recommendations for more games like Tenchu Anyways Tenchu was really good and I want more games like Tenchu and it's bullshit that there aren't more games in that style like Mark of the Ninja. How in the gently caress has Ubisoft managed to make so many games about assassins that don't measure up to Tenchu
