Scruffpuff posted:Someone mentioned it a million pages back, but I reallly get a kick out of any games with a kind of spreading disease or poison effect. Not chain lightning kind of stuff necessarily, but I do have clear examples: Tales of Maj Eyal is a decent roguelike that has an entire class centered around spreading a plethora of infectious diseases to everything in sight. Like Grim Dawn's Occultist on steroids. The corruptor class is very silly and fun. Apply one of 3 diseases whenever you hit. Make the diseases explode, spreading them to everything nearby. Infect somebody with a super-disease that gives them random other diseases and spreads them around. Turn all the diseases into horrible pustules that deal all DOT damage immediately. E: oh yeah you can also infest people with worms and and cut yourself to spray everything with your (diseased) blood. And there are seperate skill trees for hexing and cursing dudes so you can stack ALL the debuffs. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Apr 4, 2023 |

Scruffpuff posted:Vanilla Grim Dawn, Occultist class. Still never seen anything quite like it in another game. It's a shame at the highest levels it's nowhere near the effect, but you can pull it off up to level 50 at least. Thanks a bunch, I started GD but bounced off the intimidating constellation system &c., going in with the express intention of just loving around might help.

These are great suggestions, thanks everyone who answered, I have a whole bunch of new games to check out now, many of which I'd never heard of.

Ok working off my last request here's another similar request: Can you recommend any games where you run around and scavenge things, be it a zombie apocalypse or no? Games I am aware of: State of Decay 1+2 Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead Project Zomboid Dead State Neo Scavenger

Zero Sievert is on my list but I'm waiting a bit for it. I'm not strictly against playing EA games but a few times I played a game so much in EA that I didn't want to play it anymore once 1.0 hit.

Yeah I'd wait on Zero Sievert. It's a good game already, but I think it still needs quite a bit of development.

Apropos of this is State of Decay 2 a good time? I've been out of xbox land for over a decade but got one recently and was vaguely curious.

Caves of Qud if you're into traditional roguelikes - Tinkering is one of the stongest skills in the game and it allows you to rifle through trash for scrap and disassemble things to build grenades, equipment, and mods for your existing gear.

Fallout 4 has a lot more than that going on, but scavenging can be a big part of the game. In Fallout 3, your job at the start of the game is essentially "wasteland scrap metal merchant."

also Void Bastards, which is less about ship breaking and more about breaking into ships (many of which are still active) and stealing/scavenging poo poo. it's a roguelike where you die all the time and restart as new characters but keep all the poo poo you scavenged and assemble it into better weapons and gadgets. has great music.

Hello, having just played and enjoyed most of Wildfrost, i thought i'd put in a request for card based deckbuilders i mightve missed or overlooked. Things i tend to love in them usually include a few different classes, upgrading cards so even your starter deck chaff can feel good to use, a bit of variety in the run so you might have a different first boss in different runs, and some metaprogression so that even failed runs feel like a piece of an unlock you are building towards. Ones ive really enjoyed : monster train, arcanium, roguebook, griftlands, nowhere prophet, draft of darkness, across the obelisk ones ive medium enjoyed : erannorth, indies lies, black book, vault of the void, power chord, midnight suns ones ive tried but cant get into : slay the spire, meteorfall krumits tale, trials of fire also ive heard good things about night of full moon, was wondering if someone who enjoyed it knew which dlcs might make it feel like the most full experience (not a start with more money or item ones, basically) thanks for any and all recommendations!

Is there such a thing as a grand strategy title that isn't heavy on combat? Something that focuses more on like a kingdom management aspect in medieval Europe instead of endless war?

That's obviously a bit later than medieval but it's all about industrial growth and economic management.

There's a lot of citybuilding/management games put there like Tropico or Anno or Ostriv or Syx or Dwarf Fortress, but nothing really zooms all the way out to map level without being focused on combat, since that's what medieval international relationships usually end up focused on. Maybe it might scratch an itch to play a game that instead zooms way in, like Yes Your Grace or the Kingdom games.

Looking for a game with a focus on environmental storytelling and connecting pieces together to figure out a story. Some examples of what I'm looking for are Hypnospace Outlaw, Elden Ring with the item descriptions, Inscryption, and Tunic.

Modern remakes of it have you move in a full 3d environment instead of the pre-rendered slideshow, so it's a lot more approcheable, but it's all about puzzles and environmental storytelling. There is very little that the game actually tells you, and you could just play by solving puzzles to progress, but the worlds and puzzles tell the story by themselves should you care for it.

Earwicker posted:Outer Wilds is also a pretty interesting one, once you get past the kind of janky flight mechanics, you basically navigate around in a solar system caught in a time loop, and piece together what's going on from the structure of the environment One thing that Outer Wilds has that really sets it apart on this front is the rumor map, which lists everything you've found in a "photos and string" format. Having everything laid out thematically rather than spatially helps out a ton in figuring out what to explore next, as well as keep track of how everything you've found ties together into the overall picture. If I remember right, Outer Wilds' rumor map is actually based on one of the game's design documents, and the developers ended up including in the game since it was so helpful in keeping track of everything. I'm actually surprised more games don't have this. The only game I've heard has something similar is Pathologic 2 with its mind map.

I have a senior family member that I've turned into a PC gamer. I'm looking to find them something new since they've just about conquered Stardew Valley and Sun Haven. Knowing nothing about the game, how is Minecraft Dungeons? Would it be good for a relative non-gamer? Ideally, the difficulty could be bumped way down so they wouldn't have to worry about dying 5 steps into each dungeon. I gave them the original Minecraft but they got motion sickness. I'm hoping the camera view in Dungeons would be more tolerable.

Dungeons is baby's first ARPG, plays similar to Diablo. It does not involve building of any kind, it is just kill monsters go dungeon. It's pretty simple and relatively easy, but does require some manual dexterity and reaction time. Not sure how senior we're talking here.

I watched a few videos on YT and I think non-stop dungeons would be a bit more stressful than they'd find enjoyable. I'll keep looking. Thanks!

If you want more Stardew Valley, the next game to show them is My Time at Portia. You're basically playing as Robin in another town. Almost everything you get a quest to build shows up in town so there's a fantastic sense of progress. Rune Factory 4 is also a very good game similar to Stardew Valley, but it is extremely anime.

I'd like some suggestions for something inoffensive I can play for an extended period of time with a controller. Hurt my arm recently so I shouldn't be using the Mouse for a while. I'm not sure really what I want to play but I know that I definitely don't like precision aiming (without heavy auto-aim at least), or inventory management with a controller. Maybe one of those Ubisoft-likes? Which of the recent ones have the least annoying story and lightest on poo poo like tailing/escort missions? Or maybe one of the farming games, like Stardew Valley, if there happens to be one that doesn't make you do a ton of inventory management, like Stardew Valley does.
