This is a real long shot based on how fuzzy my memories are, but goons have done more with less. There was a game my brother and I rented way way back that we got really hooked on and marathoned for like a full day. I barely remember it now, but to the best of my knowledge: - SNES (outside chance of being on the Genesis, but I'm almost positive it's SNES) swords-and-magic fantasy action game - overhead or isometric perspective - two player co-op? (probably, but not guaranteed) - at some point (title screen? between levels? when you leveled up? when you beat it? gently caress if I know) it'd show you art of what I assume to be your character; I just remember a fantasy protagonist looking guy with a sword taking up most of the screen before fading out into gameplay or maybe the main menu. I don't think it's Lagoon. That's pretty much all I have to go on.

emSparkly posted:A game with vector graphics where the player character is a stick figure. I swear it was a real vector graphics based game and not one stylized to look that way. So it's probably old as dirt. Not a lot to go on, so I'll throw out Major Havoc as a guess, because it's a cool vector game and your character is pretty stick like in anything vector based. It's a rad one imo.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94j4u6ztiKc

Crossposting from the Android games thread:Rupert Buttermilk posted:Help, android thread! I'm looking for a game I used to have installed. It was a grid, and I want to say it was very grey. On the outside of the grid, on one side, was a power source and throughout the grid were many computers. Every square on the grid had a line in a different configuration, and you could rotate them. The ultimate goal was to get power to all of the computers. It's not a part of Simon Tantham's puzzles, btw.

I remember seeing a game speedrun that I think was a metroidvania, very morose, apparently with a lot of story in it, where you're a medieval lord and in addition to fighting monsters you've got to deal with I think something about heresy and blasphemy among your own people? It looked like it had weighty moral choices to make. I thought maybe it was Blasphemous, but it's not. Similar brooding atmosphere and ultraviolence though, I think. Any ideas?

Hey. It was a side scrolling game for windows in the mid or maybe early 00's. It was kind of a beat 'em up, but it was pretty fast and leapy if I recall. You gained experience to increase stats after you completed a level, and you could go back to a level at any time. You got more xp for combos, for beating the level quickly, and maybe picking up stars or some other macguffin. I remember a castle wall (background) area, and there may have been fields/forest before that. There was definitely a sewer level after one of those, and the difficulty ramped up hard. There were probably different characters to choose from. I have a feeling it was a fan made game for something else. I thought I found it on Home of the Underdogs, but I couldn't find it when I looked recently. I'm fairly sure it was a windows thing and not flash.

I'm looking for the name of a 3D dungeon crawler game from either the very late 90s or early 2000s. It was not a D&D game, it was set in the same fantasy environment though, and it was party-based. It was real-time and not turn based, though one could pause it, and it did have multiplayer. It was not entirely linear, there were some open world elements to it, but the progression to the end was linear - you started off in a green and pleasant land, went through a long dungeon, emerged at some point to a snowy place, etc. Merchants were in these inbetween areas. It was more action/combat based than story based and dialogue was minimal compared to D&D. I think there was also an almost-identical sequel. It wasn't a Dragon Age thing.

Looking for a specific game: - indie platformer - looked kinda like Mark of the Ninja, but definitely isn't that - started with some corporate guy getting thrown out of a window(?) and when I jumped up and went to him I got a keycard/ID card(?) and an achievement that said something like "for going left where people usually go right" (pretty sure about that last part) I have it stuck in my Steam backlog somewhere but totally forgot its name.

Gunpoint It also has an achievement called "Title Finally Relevant". The description is: "Help justify my early, not entirely wise choice of game name by holding someone at gunpoint with the Resolver." Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Sep 9, 2023 |

Mierenneuker posted:Gunpoint Definitely not Gunpoint, as similar as the "dropping out of window" part seems. And the achievement I was talking about was literally in the first seconds of the game for checking the dude's body. Sorry for the sparse info, I fired it up as part of checking random games from my library, decided it looked fun, then promptly forgot about it.

I remember reading the previews for Dungeon Siege, and how the devs were claiming that it was a truly connected world, where there were no loading screens after the initial loading of the game. If you were walking across a fallen tree that spanned a ravine and saw a cave down below you you could eventually make it down to that cave and walk right in. Is that how it ended up working out?

Yeah, sometimes chatGPT can be helpful if you tell it to give ten potential answers, but for that description it was like "nope lol here's a confidently wrong answer and a list of ten popular platformers"
