i'm going to play fallout 4 as a chilled out run around shooty game. are there any other good ones people can recommend? I'm not big on spooky games. I guess as some reference i've recently played deathloop which was pretty fun, but didn't get hooked by dishonored. ut2k4 was good when i was younger but i don't think i can do twitch/super fast paced shooters anymore. I'm the guy that plays call of duties but only for the single player. maybe a deus ex? I played the first 2 but can never remember which of the newer ones people say are good. or I'll go play sleeping dogs or xiii again.

Tracking an animal and making a clean shot taps into that same sense of satisfaction as pulling off a clean snipe in Hitman or Arma, except with no real consequence for missing beyond whatever annoyance you feel with yourself. Whatever, go find another deer. Man, these trees are loving pretty. I'll look into this. Fallout 4 seems okay so far. I got the dialogue mod since I heard that's important, and someone mentioned a settlement attack mod or something. How do I take power armor off or use vats? I just got the power armor so maybe I don't get vats yet

grate deceiver posted:This one is a must. To this day there has not been another game that does branching story like it. It's jank, it's unfinished in places, but you absolutely have to try it. It might not seems much on just one playthrough, but if you play again and try to do the opposite of what you chose before, you'll see some crazy poo poo. It's one of the few games that's a lot of fun to come back to. That and sleeping dogs. I haven't played sleeping dogs for about a year, it's time.

BrianRx posted:I played an EA version of a mech game last year that reminded me very much of MechWarrior that I am surprised has gotten no traction so far. Big robot, customizable loadouts, heat management system, fly/jump real far, good sense of scale. I don't have a VR system, but it's designed to simulate a person in a mech, so you move your view to look at rendered control surfaces and system information (as opposed to a HUD). I liked it, but I can't for the life of me find it now. I'll check back in when I do. There's mech merc company that's trying to be mechwarrior but that might not be it https://store.steampowered.com/app/984610/Mech_Merc_Company

magic cactus posted:I've been playing a lot of Post Void and Star Wars Episode I podracer. I like the feeling of speed or flow or whatever these games give me, where if you click into a run and focus everything just happens so fast you barely have time to register it. I'm looking for more games where the feeling of speed is both the primary focus and done well mechanically (e.g. Podracer is a racing game so the speed there is built in, Post Void has incredibly forgiving enemy hitboxes so it doesn't require pinpoint accuracy when shooting.) I'm open to any genre, I honestly just wanna go fast. I was thinking Neon White, but from what I see watching playthroughs it feels more mechanically geared to a speedrunner mindset of like... micro optimizations or something and I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for exactly. Distance is a driving game where you dodge some obstacles and have to do a bit of platforming at high speed. When you get a flow going on certain levels the game feels amazing. Can be frustrating if you keep dying though. Levels tend to be short, but there's a few "story" modes (only 1 car), a track generator, online stuff. Maybe redout? It's like an fzero successor. I didn't like the camera angle in it but it's pretty drat fast. ilmucche fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Dec 19, 2022 |

ninjewtsu posted:i am going on a 3 week trip and my only form of personal entertainment will be my nintendo switch. i have almost never touched my nintendo switch. what are good games on the switch that are easy for me to pick up and drop down frequently as my adhd addled brain demands? also, i'm unlikely to have internet access good enough for online gaming. Yoku's island express is pretty fun as a pinball-metroid Super mega baseball 3 if you're into baseball. You can quit and resume a game between pitches, it has a season and franchise mode if you want something long term, has separate 0-100 level customizable difficulty for each of pitching/fielding/hitting/running, and is a pretty drat good baseball game in general.

Shine posted:Super Mega Baseball is fantastic. Granted the last baseball game I'd played was probably Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball for SNES, but SMB3 it basically the baseball game I'd always wanted to exist. It's the baseball version of a sim-lite racing game, where the intent is to capture the feel and strategy of the sport without actually simulating every detail as realistically as possible. It's fantastic. Also I appreciate it having a 1990s Japanese arcade game title as a sincere title in 2020. I have all 3 of them and the improvements in each sequel were really good. The game is fun to play without ever being too crunchy. The only bit I didn't like about franchise mode was the offseason, but even that was manageable and I don't know how they'd improve on it. Oh I also accidentally removed the blowfish from my game by customizing them to be a sunnyvale trailer park team. The modifications get saved for online and the blowfish were permanently gone. Can't copy/paste custom players to other teams at will either

To each their own. For me, it was an excellent game. If nothing else, compared to the original it greatly improved on run variety, and made it so that there was more than one viable class once you're in the late postgame.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Have you played Symphony of the Night? It's the same deal. In other words, pretty basic platformer melee, with more of a focus on the wide variety of ways you can fight, rather than on any individual way being particularly polished. Most enemies die pretty quickly, and while bosses can be tricky, you can also just spam healing items to get through them. haven't played either. i'm looking for exploration/metroidwhatever type games. just got through haak, played islets/hollow knight etc. I like the exploration and powering up side of things but can't really hack really tough combat like hollow knight/salt and sanctuary anymore. I did really like blasphemous though and the combat in that one felt pretty tough Maybe Alwa's legacy for like 4 quid? ilmucche fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Apr 2, 2023 |

cool, thanks for the suggestions. I'll give ori a try since it's cheap on gog and looks like it's a lot of focus on an interesting world to explore. Cool style is part of what I liked about blasphemous despite the difficulty. I did play yoku's island express, it had so much charm.

I would recommend: sleeping dogs There's a big focus on melee combat and the environmental attacks are very brutal. The player character regularly breaks limbs and fights packs of dudes. Occasionally you get a gun (a few missions are very short based) but most of the fighting is melee. The story is good, the fighting is good, the open world is a lot of fun and feels lived in. I suspect it'll get a few goty nods for 2023.

I would recommend sleeping dogs. There are a lot of fists that come at you, and it can be a bit of a fisty hell, where you have to properly counter the fists coming at you. Occasionally there are guns, which you counter by shooting the source of the bullets

Admittedly not a Japanese made game, but it tells a good story and the gameplay is top notch. I think the entire story takes place over about 6 months? Certain parts feel very urgent
