It's not Arcanum is it? Although I don't remember cave prisons there so probably not.

SweetBro posted:What's the game that's like an anime styled dungeon crawl that's kind of like Slay The Spire, except your decks are built up from up to 4 characters you recruit. One of them is a dude that makes swords which are basically STS like shivs. Another one is a chick with a chainsaw. You yourself actually play a 5th character that doesn't fight but instead provides various party/exploration buffs as you level up. The enemies themselves are mostly static front facing images, and the game has some pretty indepth boss mechanics. One of which is like a fire elemental chick that has a mechanic based around passing around a DoT between your characters to effectively damage her. I punched in all the relevant tags into Steam search and this is the only one that looked like it would fit your description. Is that it? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1188930/Chrono_Ark/

There was some sort of space strategy game on PC from the 90s that my dad used to play, I'd really like to find out what it was but unfortunately I don't remember much about it. What I do remember is: It was all in tiny 2d sprite graphics, kind of like Dune maybe. It had ground battles that played out in real time, but I'm not sure if you actually controlled the units or if it was just a visualization of the battle. I think it was the latter. It had a race of "space hippos" of some kind. I think they might have preferred planets with a lot of water. That's all I remember. Really not expecting anyone to know what I'm talking about.

Okay, gently caress, I need this thread's help. I just read an article about Jonestown and it triggered a memory about a video game with a character, with an evil german accent, that says something like "Actually they were primarily using Flavor Aid at that time." and I cannot remember what game that was. Does anyone have any idea what game I'm talking about? I need to figure it out or it's gonna drive me mad trying to remember it. EDIT: For some reason I want to say that it was one of the Zero Escape games but I'm pretty sure that's not it. Maybe something similar though.

SkeletonHero posted:It might be a long shot but apparently almost that exact exchange is in Hellsing Abridged, which is video game-adjacent and would explain the German accent. Lmao. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks. I have no idea why I thought it was from a video game.

MonkeyforaHead posted:My Q: what was that indie RPG series on Steam that's vaguely in the vein of SMT but the entire point of it is to find synergies between the myriad of different mechanics to break the game in half over your knee (because if you don't, the enemies will do the same to you)? Siralim? It owns.

Retro Futurist posted:Truly, Animal Crossing is the Dark Souls of videogames. Also you're not arguing for some kind of player skill, you're asking for the next souls game to have an enemy approach you, automatically defeat you, and go "Deal with it! That's life, kid! " (which is already my experience with Souls games) Great strawman there bud. Here's a cuhhhhrazeh controversial opinion: Games occasionally doing things that you don't expect/that are outside of your control is actually cool and good.

Fruits of the sea posted:Looking for an extremely weird open world sex(?) game that made a splash on Steam this year. The player takes over a resort which is inhabited by three anime women. Inexplicably, the trailers demonstrate extremely janky driving and firing a gun. Also you can take lurk and take creepy pictures of the women inhabiting the resort. Do you need an intervention?

Kobal2 posted:I swear this game exists (and has been at least partially LP'd on this forum years and years ago) but my Google fu sucks apparently. Or possibly Google sucks now. You're describing the story of Metro but the most well-known game based on that book is an FPS not a tactics game. Jack Trades fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Jan 14, 2022 |

Kobal2 posted:Yeah I know, that's the problem - I know it's not Metro (it's an older game than that, also very much not an FPS) but every search I run points me towards it for obvious reasons. It's weird, I should know of a Russian tactics games but the only ones of note were the 3 Silent Storm games and a couple of fantasy games based on that engine, don't think either of those describe what you're talking about unfortunately.

There was an early 90s Fantasy PC RTS game I used to play. The maps were a bunch of floating island and you would build bridges between the islands and IIRC the combat was primarily fought by building towers rather than units. Anyone has any idea what I'm talking about?

Anyone remembers the name of that one JRPGer where you gain different stats on your level up depending on the nutritional content of food you ate between level ups? It was either a PS1 or PS2, IIRC. EDIT: It was Ehrgeiz.

All 3 Silent Storm games loving ruled. It was the only one doing the "bounce a bullet through a wall, off a nazi's helmet into the face of another nazi" technology until Sniper Elite came along a decade later.

Two games using the same engine, based on a series of Russian urban fantasy novels, but those games weren't that great and IIRC didn't even have the environmental destruction.

A fantasy beat'em'up game around the DOS era, for PC, traditional isometric perspective but single screen. Notable feature was having an overworld map with a dragon on it that you could fight.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:There was a PC game that was, like, "this unspecified threat with a weird name (that is the name of the game) is coming for this town in 3 weeks, what do you have your heroes do in that time?" and it was options like fight in the arena, work at the hospital, hunt down criminals, tend a garden, etc. All just choosing options from a list, and getting illustrations and text describing what happens. At the end, the threat would come in and you'd probably fail to stop it, but your heroes might still be able to help the town rebuild afterwards. https://store.steampowered.com/app/269030/The_Yawhg/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLAe7mTnCik
