Nosgoth. An asymmetrical, team based shooter where you played as either vampires or vampire hunters. The vampires had more health and mobility but were only melee while the hunters had range and utility. It was buggy and imbalanced and I loved it and clocked like 500 hours before they shut it down.

Exactly what I was here to write, had so much fun with that

Dil,

Was a ton of fun, I played it daily til it shutdown, I love when multiplayer games have fun traversal mechanics, tho it leads to many quitting if they do terrible early on.

Mass Effect Andromeda. I absolutely love the game and have played through it multiple times, wishing for DLC. for an expansion of this wonderful universe that I love to explore.

sucks really bad that it will never come back 😔

Asafum, (edited ) do gaming w need advice, how to get good at monster hunter

Lance or sword and shield might be good to stay a bit safer and learn the monsters. This game series is all about understanding what you’re fighting, they will all have a “tell” when they go to do something. Some might take one step backwards and arch in a specific way, some might make a specific noise, and they’ll always follow with a specific move. You have to understand what they’re going to do so you can figure out how much time you have to attack.

You’re going to die a bunch, but after a while you’ll come to know how the monster you’re fighting will move and it will get easier.

After all that also get to learn the skills that come with armor pieces, you want specific skills to compliment play styles. I don’t remember freedom unite specifically, but for weapons with a shield you’d want a skill called “guard” that improves how blocking works, whether it’s taking less stamina when you get hit or allowing you to block once unblockable moves.

And as others have said, with the older monster hunter games you have to learn “the claw” lol they had absolutely atrocious camera controls

I keep editing as I remember other important things lol there’s a move called the “superman dive” that will save your ass. When your weapon is put away and you’re running AWAY from an attack, you can “roll” but it will make you do a dive that makes you invulnerable for a bit. You cannot be moving towards the monster or it won’t work and you’ll just do a normal roll. I also don’t remember if freedom unite has this as well, but in most monster hunter games you don’t have to get up when you get hit to the ground. If a monster knocks you down and you see they’re following with another move just don’t move, let your character stay down and you shouldn’t get hit.

There’s a lot of games being mentioned here that had a full run. Let’s talk about an actually cancelled game - SkySaga: Infinite Isles. Block game in the vein of Portal Knights that was extremely inspired.

The gameplay loop consisted of using “Keys” on a portal at your home island that would randomly generate a floating island with various objectives on it and a boss, all of which was harvestable for materials and blocks to build with back on your home island. There was a social hub city island everyone could access that alowed access to PvP and a few types of guilds with various combat, gathering, and exploration quests. Crafting was pretty good, allowing you to use metals with various properties to mix and match your own gear - some metals did more damage or applied an elemental effect, some had quicker swing speed, some were durable as armor and others not so much but they increased movespeed or jump height.

The game had about a dozen beta access phases then dropped off the face of the earth, with the server (and how it worked) lost forever. Completely lost to time, cancelled before it could release proper. No other block game has come close to the kind of structural appeal it had for me, and I think about it frequently. There’s a few reverse engineering projects in the works but they are stagnant.

I love a lot of the games in this thread but they had an actual release and real servers, you could play them for multiple years. Some others promised a bit more than they delivered, and were cut a bit short by EA or other trash publishers. SkySaga was killed before launch and placed in an opaque prison, truly cancelled.

truthfultemporarily, do games w HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war

Maybe Hearts of Iron or Stellaris?

Pondis,

Stellaris Looks like a good call! But theres a million DLCs and the whole thing costs over £200 and I dont know which ones I need

truthfultemporarily,

You need none. They release free content together with every DLC too. Also you can get the subscription for a month and cancel immediately if you want to try all of them.

DudeDudenson,

You say that as if it wasn’t true for civ 6 as well haha

EncryptKeeper,

Civ 6 has two DLCs.

blackbelt352,

2 expansions, 6 Frontier Pass Packs, 6 leader packs, scenario DLCs, leader DLCs. There’s a lot more than just Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall.

DudeDudenson,

Honestly I didn’t even check because I sail the high seas but I had this mental image of the metric ton of dlcs civ v had

flightyhobler,

Start with the base game and take it from there. You don’t “need” any DLC

I_Has_A_Hat, do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

Guns of Icarus, my beloved.

Also, Global Agenda.

Also Starcraft: Ghost

H1jAcK,

Oh shit, that was the name. The character was Nova

MrWafflesNBacon, do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

LittleBigPlanet, can’t wait for Restitched. At least private servers exist and I can emulate LBP2 on my PC

samus12345, do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

Marvel Heroes. Hopefully the private servers being worked on will be in a playable state someday.

Reset, a puzzle sci-fi game some little Finnish studio was working on.

Technically it was never released, but I was invited to a closed alpha (or beta?) for a game called Chroma, by Harmonix, the OG Guitar Hero people. It was a lot of fun and I’m still sad that it was canceled…

I’d like to play around with whatever alpha build they made for the original concept of Team Fortress 2.

I love the one that came out (it’s probably my most played game of all time), but those first few screenshots before retooling were captivating when we’d already been waiting so long for the release.

brot,

I remember those screenshots in the mags back in the day. Yes, I want to play that version, too - and the tank and heli looked so cool back then!

There was a demo reel of the spy as well that was incredible. I played untold hours of tfc. It is likely what made me a intellimouse fan (thumb buttons for both grenade types?! It was the future).

I truly miss conc grenades. There has never been a more versatile weapon in a game.

Zeke, do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

The original Overwatch. I also know Apex Legends hasn't been cancelled, but they also took away Linux compatibility so it is essentially cancelled for Linux. That's one I miss.
