Ulio posted:Feeling a stealth game after playing some Ghost Recon Wildlands and doing the Sam Fischer/Splinter Cell mission. Ghost recon actually has some light stealth/tactical elements but it is only fun when you have a human teammate who can play stealth like you. The new Hitman game (which has been helpfully titled HITMAN) might appeal to you, though like Blood Money it's mostly disguise-based stealth. I would strongly recommend the Dishonored games if you don't mind some mild steampunk, and definitely play the first before the second.

One of us has moved away a while ago. We're looking for a game to play together casually and shoot poo poo on Discord or equivalent at the same time. Destiny 2 is currently being given away free on Battle.net, just need to claim before the 18th, but I think that's PC only.

I'd completely forgot about it since just before it launched, but it's definitely the type of game and setting that appeals to me. Going to take a look at GRIS some time too. Portal and Portal 2 seem like they would fit your criteria as well, if you haven't played them yet.

Captain Beans posted:I’d be interested to hear everyone chime in on multiplayer ARPGs out there. It seems like there is a lot of love for Diablo 3, Path of Exile and Grim Dawn. Seemingly those are the big three to really look at despite their age. Torchlight 2 can be played multiplayer, probably good if you want something less complex and a little more lighthearted, but it's a lot of fun.

MockingQuantum posted:I genuinely don't know, as I was reading The Spy Who Came In From the Cold I was thinking that it'd be fun to play a game set in the cold war (or fictional equivalent) where you're a deputy area controller and have to run assets, set up dead drops, detect and undermine counterintelligence, bribe sources, etc. in a management style game. I was pretty surprised to find that it didn't really exist. Seems like the kind of thing Lucas Pope would make. This is a bit left field, but what you're describing sounds a bit like the world-map portion of Evil Genius. You have to dispatch henchmen to conduct certain tasks, which takes them away from your lair, and the tasks can increase heat which leads to more enemy agents coming to your base. I guess the issue is that most of the game is about base management.

For me they both scratch the stealth game itch. They both have weapons and gadgets and powers. They both let me spend way too much time and effort trying to do no-kill ghost playthroughs, then come back and do a cathartic blow poo poo up playthrough. Obviously the stories and settings are very different but I think they're both well done.

Insurrectionist posted:Thanks for the tips! Yeah the issue with playing a lot of games of a certain type is eventually you get through all the well-recommended ones. I've played most of those too honestly with a couple exceptions. Wasteland 2 is a game that interests me but as mentioned I'm not huge on post-apoc and I heard a lot of bad things about it too. Waiting to see how 3 is being received, might get that. I probably have to go for somewhat less mechanically similar games or just less well-known indies. I tried Wizardry 8 out but it felt about the prime example of how turn-based combat can hurt a game...there sure were a lot of combat encounters to slog through. A bit left field but if you like turn-based RPG combat you might also like the new X-Com games? You get a good amount of flexibility in how you develop your squad, you just have to be prepared for some of them to die permanently.

Danger - Octopus! posted:Is The Outer Worlds actually worth playing or not? I like talky RPGs with combat, I like sci-fi stuff - but I don't know anyone who's actually played it. Nth-ing the meh on this. As someone who loved New Vegas and just wanted that in space Outer Worlds really disappointed. There's plenty of talking, but very little has any meaning or is interesting at all, and all the companions are basically store-brand Firefly characters.

Boz0r posted:What are some cool VR games for an Oculus Rift S that an eight year old boy can play? Superhot? It's violent but it's all very abstract violence, and the game itself is amazing and probably the best implementation of VR I've personally experienced. Subnautica VR is good, especially the early areas which are quite chill. Also beatsaber, but I think you might have to download song to have any good ones, the game shipped with a very limited selection.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:It's basically more of the same. There's some minor refinements but they're not really straying from their lane. Having recently jumped straight from BL2 to BL3 with some friends, the shooting in 3 is definitely tighter and more fun, there's more weapon variety, and traversal and map design are better I think. The writing somehow got worse though, which is a real achievement.

kirbysuperstar posted:How the gently caress did it manage to get worse after getting rid of loving Anthony Burch Burch's vomit of monkey cheese sometimes had a good gag or two in it, and he usually kept things brief and moving so you could get back to shooting things. The writing in 3 is like a bad writer tried to write a serious plot, then remembered it was a BL game and went back and sprinkled in the monkey cheese. The cutscenes are way too long and way too boring. Doesn't help that the main villains are not "I hate them" annoying, but more "I'm genuinely thinking of just turning the game off" annoying.

Deep Rock Galactic or the Borderlands games are my go-to games for just hanging out with friends. Borderlands it helps to have a set group with characters that play through together but Deep Rock players of any level can just jump in with each other.

Ambaire posted:Raft is a loving miserable grind for resources and food. Crafting tools takes so many resources and they wear out so quickly.. and the character needs to eat 10 times as much per day as they really should. I don't understand why that game is so highly rated; I guess the players mostly love masochism. I think this ends up being a lot more bearable in coop where you can have more division of labor, but the game also has a weird difficulty curve where the basic survival elements get a lot easier once you've progressed a bunch. Like once you get the solar distiller and the plastic water bottle water availability becomes pretty trivial, but it's a pain in the first part. Ditto food once you plant the big plants and start catching big fish.

You might like the Dishonored series if you don't mind stealth games (though you don't actually need to be stealthy if you don't want to). One feature you might like is that you have an item called the heart which tells you where all the major upgrades are, so you don't need to comb every nook and cranny of the map unless you want to find every last gold coin or something.

SlothfulCobra posted:Deep Rock Galactic has had a lot of buzz lately. It seems like a neat iteration on the whole Payday style co-op shooter. Nth-ing Deep Rock, I haven't gotten my wife to play it, but it's been a blast with friends. Since you can decide the difficulty level for the missions, it's only as hectic as you want it to be, and with the mining and other support like the engineer's turret there's still plenty to do even if you're not the best shot. Raft co-op is fun, but a bit stressful on the higher difficulties, at least in the beginning.

SlyFrog posted:I don't know if there has to be a total win condition (like Terraria doesn't really have a "you won" win screen), but there needs to be game generated goals and progress (like Terraria bosses, improving equipment, stuff like that). Torchlight 2 might be a good try, it's not grimdark like most ARPGs, and less hardcore as well, would be fun to play co-op. Haven't played Valheim, but I hear great things. If FPS controls are ok: Raft - survival crafting with a campaign (that might not be done yet, still in early access) and a bit of combat, adjustable difficulty level. Deep Rock Galactic - short-ish missions but with good variety and you get progression through character upgrades, adjustable difficulty level Borderlands series - they're dumb but fun, the best chill co-op shooting experience I've found with a story rather than missions.

We live all over and we've been doing online about once a week since lockdown began, and we're basically using it as an excuse to chat, catch up, whatever, very low stress. So I'd like some more recommendations, anything that's engaging enough to be something to do, but not so distracting that you can't talk over it. Things that have been pretty good have been Borderlands, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Vermintide, so games in that vein are probably good, but a strategy or RPG or something would totally work too, as long as it's going to be playable by a couple of people who can talk over voip while they play. Definitely try Deep Rock Galactic.

My best comparison is using Rimworld Vanilla Expanded to make a factory that I have to keep fed while also managing my colonists and defending it, etc. I have no interest in Factorio at the moment or in Factory Town. Any recommendations? This is kind of frustratingly vague, I know. Maybe something like Banished, Tropico, or the Anno games? They don't involve a single factory but do involve setting up supply chains that are critical to your survival.

Bognar posted:Was I playing Deep Rock Galactic wrong? I see it recommended a lot but it didn't seem like it was for me. I played with a few of my buddies and once we did a few missions it didn't seem like the core loop of the game was going to change much or become more interesting. All the character progression also seemed like minor upgrades and not stuff that will significantly change the way the game is played (but obviously we didn't play far enough to find out). For me there are a bunch of things that keep the game fresh: -The proc-gen levels, which means you always have to be thinking about traversal and can't just sleep walk through a level you've seen a million times. I think the devs have said that by far the most lethal enemy in the game based on damage done is gravity, and that tracks with my experience. -The variety in mission objectives, combined with various modifiers and special events, as well as the variety in enemy design. There's more of these at higher difficulties, and the game can get pretty hectic in interesting ways. -The classes all play differently, and each has enough weapon variety to mix it up even more. Combine that with overclocks and you can keep messing with things or find a setup that really clicks for you. That being said, I value it as something I can just jump in and play for an hour with pubbies here or there, or maybe a few hours with friends. If you're looking for a game that you can play for MMO-level of time then it might get a bit stale.

John Murdoch posted:Time for yet another weird, abstract itch I've had. I can't tell if this is my usual overly-pontificating bullshit or just something tangible that I lack a singular, concrete way to describe it. What I'm looking for are games that capture a specific sublime sensation. My go-to word for it is "evocative" but you could also describe it less pretentiously as "personality" or "flavor" or even just "cool" but really I find none of these words exactly match what I mean because it's a greater gestalt of theme and style. If you don't mind your game having a bunch of story attached, you might like Cyberpunk 2077. Between skills, cyberware, and weapons there's quite a bit of variety in the way you can build your character, but they all make sense thematically. You can shoot people in slowmo, you can make a super fast dodgy character and slice people up in melee, you can be really stealthy and use takedowns and thrown knives and silenced weapons, or you can be a hacker and hack people through security cams and have everyone be dead before you even enter the building.

Pick a character from something like Skullgirls and you'll see the kind of thing I mean though. Off the top my head, there's also Guilty Gear's Venom with the whole billiards gimmick. But really most anime fighters revel in their increasingly over the top yet thought out character designs.

I'm looking for something to scratch the "open-world RPG/immersive sim with a decent story" itch. Things I have played and enjoyed: -The Witcher games and Cyberpunk 2077 -Mass Effect 1 & 2 (3 and Andromeda looked bad) -The Dishonored games -The recent Deus Ex games -Neverwinter nights 1 -Dragon Age Origins (2 looked bad, Inquisition is a possibility?) -rear end Creed 2 -Fallout New Vegas (I've tried 4 and got bored halfway through, and I've played The Outer Worlds, which was okay) -Alpha Protocol -Disco Elysium I'm currently playing Pillars of Eternity, and while it ticks a lot of boxes I'm finding the combat straight up tedious, even on easy difficulty, I just can't be bothered to deal with all the different classes and managing all their abilities, I think the large party based RPGs aren't my thing. I know I could drop the difficulty to story mode but that would seem to be missing the point. Seems like this would rule out PoE 2 and the Divinity games. (Played Arcanum back in the day) I've tried several ARPGs but couldn't really get into them. Torchlight 1&2 made for good podcast-listening games with passive builds, but Diablo 3 and Grim Dawn didn't click. Current possibilities: -One of the newer rear end Creed games? Heard good things about Black Flag and Odyssey -Dragon Age Inquisition? -Kingdom Come Deliverance? (Got this for free on Epic so no investment needed to check it out) I'm not attached to any particular format, genre, or setting, hopefully this gives people some idea of the vibe I'm looking for.
