Ostranauts might also be this once it gets its poo poo together, but right now it still looks pretty barebones.

StoryTime posted:There's Hardspace: Shipbreaker which has you work as a salvage person dismantling valuable parts out of massive spaceships. Game good. Turning off the timer and meticulously cutting up a giant ship until you only have little bits left is extremely chill to me.

Looking for a PS4 or Switch game with a good story. My wife loves watching me play games that almost have a cinematic-style of storytelling. Examples - Uncharted, Yakuza, God of War (2018 and Ragnarok). So yeah, any recs of something in that vein? Some cinematic storytelling and decent gameplay?

If anyone is familiar with yugioh video games, I'm feeling a nostalgia kick so I want to play something from the original duel monsters era. Any suggestions?

Duelist of the Roses is uhh.. a weird game and not especially 'YGO' but if you wanted to see the War of the Roses but with Kaiba and Kuriboh it's pretty neat. Tag Force is GX (until it's 5D's), not DM but those area pretty good. 7 Trials To Glory is probably the best DM-era simulator. I'd also throw a "weird but fun" in for Dungeon Dice Monsters.

I think the fact that you get to decide things helps a lot, so it is Gerault genuinely coming into a complicated situation and trying to figure out things instead of being on rails to fall off a cliff.

Witcher 3 is a deeply hopeful game at its heart, it's not pessimistic or whatever just because bad things happen in it, but yeah if you're in a bad mood some of the individual stories can definitely be downers

Yes definitely, you get lots of choices to make, most of which lead to either the Very Bad Outcome or the Even Worse Outcome. I don't mean to poo poo on what was obviously a magnificent and unparalleled game, its theme of "no matter how hard you try to help, life is still going to be horrible for almost everyone" is certainly realistic. It's just that it's maybe too realistic if your actual everyday life is already teaching you that theme and you want to play video games to get away from it for a couple hours. Obviously that doesn't mean it should be equated to Last Of Us which is on a whole different level.

What are the best games where you pilot your own spaceship and run missions / blow poo poo up? Ideally I'm looking for single player and something that also has a faction/territory system for an end game goal.

The first one basically has you building up your Space Barge of Death while a twangy-twang-twang southern rock soundtrack blasts every minute. It let me live out my lifelong dream of being a space white guy.

The first game you fly a capital ship that only really is on a horizontal plane, but in Outlaw you have a fighter instead that has a full range of movement. There's also the X series that I've heard things about, but also it seems pretty complicated and I don't know much directly about. It has more advanced things like territory control and empire building, and there's a thread if you wanna figure out more.

I mean the X games have combat and territories but the missions are going to push you towards getting a fleet, automating traders, building factories and mining operations etc. It's very cool but something like Rebel Galaxy or Freelancer is better for just shootin and explorin

Ideally I'm looking for single player and something that also has a faction/territory system for an end game goal. For more old-school presentation, check out Transcendence, naEV, and Endless Sky. They're all top-down 2D sprite-based games where you fly around, blow up ships, upgrade/replace your own ship, and do missions. Transcendence is a roguelike, albeit a very forgiving one (e.g. if you die you can just choose to violate the permadeath conduct and resurrect), while the other two are based on / inspired by the old Escape Velocity series. They're all story-driven moreso than freeform faction/territory-driven though. And I forget if the story in naEV / Endless Sky is finished.

Any good recommendations on games where the goal is to help others or build up a town? Currently working through spiritfarer and littlewood, and I really enjoyed stardew valley. Also thanks for the space game recommendations everyone - I’ve got a few more queued up now for that genre.

Dinkum blends Stardew Valley's homesteading with Animal Crossing's town-building. It's still in early access, but it's well worth trying.

Dinkum looks like what I’m going for - it’s early access but on sale so I might break my No EA rule to try it out. Thanks for the suggestion! Coral Island also looks pretty good but is also EA and I dunno if I’m gonna roll the dice on two of them.

For PC - Horizon Zero Dawn vs Red Dead Redemption 2 If I am going to get one which one would it be? I like story-driven games more. IE Not farcry style open world, more like Witcher 3 / GTA 5 style open world. I thought RDR 2 was going to be my best bet but then Robo Dinosaurs showed up in my queue and looked shiny and cool.

Most of the story quests have you build something for the town that is a real thing that you can walk on and interact with for the rest of the game. My usual recommendation for someone who liked Stardew Valley and want's more of that is Rune Factory 4. It's anime Stardew with more fighting but also much, much, much more unique dialogue.

I think RDR2 has a stronger story and a deeper world and characters, and after you're done (if you can get you hands on a way to play it) RDR1 which it is a prequel to I still think is one of the best games of all time. The prospect of robo-dinosaurs is exciting, and certainly is neat and a fun spectacle, but if you're after story, there's not really a whole lot of story to the robo-dinosaurs themselves. There's plenty of hunting in RDR2 as well, although it's much smaller prey. A GIANT PARSNIP posted:Any good recommendations on games where the goal is to help others or build up a town? Currently working through spiritfarer and littlewood, and I really enjoyed stardew valley. Other than Dragon Age Builders, there's not many games that specifically have the framework of helping to build up a town. Maybe Cult of Lamb, but that's not exactly the main focus. Graveyard Keeper is definitely doing a play on Stardew Valley, but it's kind of a parody because it's about a corrupt gravedigger and the world is more bitter. There's a lot of cute chill games out there that kinda get some of the spirit of what you're looking for even if they might not hit the mark exactly. A Short Hike, Sunshine Heavy Industries, Reccettear, Bear and Breakfast. Worth a look.

MikeC posted:For PC - Horizon Zero Dawn vs Red Dead Redemption 2 RDR2 is the better written and deeper story and characters. That said, it is a bummer of a tragedy. So if you're looking for just happy fun times maybe hang out in chapters 2 and 3 before things start heading downhill. I'll also second RDR1 and note that it does not feel nearly as tragic as its sequel despite sharing certain themes and narrative structures.
