This is my favourite shooter, based on the Battlefield 2 mod Project Reality. Everything feels, looks, and sounds realistic. Matches take several hours and have a lot of coordination between specialised squads. The maps are huge and detailed. I’ve played rounds where I only fire a couple bullets and like PUBG it’s so much more thrilling than an arcade shooter with nonstop action.

Moonguide,

Great rec. Teamwork required, easy to learn but hard to master (especially the vehicles, which also require teamwork).

Honestly squad is pretty strange for me. I’m not very fond of talking to people (SzPD at least, might be on the spectrum), but Squad does not work without teamwork and communication. Guess the difference is that I don’t really get casual communication but effective comms on Squad rely on briefness and exactness. Triple Ds, that kind of stuff.

If you do end up jumping into Squad, expect some hiccups. The game is not terribly well optimized, and the community almost always picks the same factions and divisions. The devs have shown off a UE5 upgrade that’ll be dropping in the near future, so that might be good.

In a similar vein, ArmA: Reforger is great. Completely replaced my Squad addiction. While Squad is more focused (which is good), ArmA is way more free and varied in objectives. Plus, I feel like it might be more easily moddable. WCS and RH feel almost like they were vanilla, while the most polished Squad mods feel like mods. Not a knock against the mod teams, maybe unreal is harder to mod.

Does the new ARMA have a more intuitive UI and control scheme than ARMA 2/3? That’s what keeps me from recommending it instead. Squad is much more streamlined in that regard without losing the depth, like comparing Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld.

Moonguide,

Oh yeah. They added contextual interaction promots. The closest thing I had played before reforger was DayZ though. But Reforger is very intuitive. Most everything can be done by looking at stuff and pressing F (entering cars, bandaging wounds, taking on and off attachments on weapons, etc.).

It’s a bit more complex than Squad in the things you can do, but the approach is much more simple (like, in Squad you press f1-8 to switch seats, in ArmA you can freelook and look at the seat).

dan1101,

It’s a large leap forward in UI, graphics, and performance.

God, I love these posts.

DjMeas, do gaming w Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?

My gaming sessions on my Steam Deck are about 1-2 hours around 2-3 times a week. It takes me about 4-6 months to finish an RPG.

Robbity,

Accurate.

Anahkiasen,

I second the Steam Deck, best way to pick games up and down and actually play whenever you can instead of having to plan it!

prole,

Thirded. You can also stream your PS4/PS5 to it if you want to play one of those games but don’t want to have to turn off your stories to play on the TV.

My stories!

Thank you so much to everyone who commented with suggestions! Some really surprising ones in there too that I'm very much looking forwards to playing soon. So far thanks to this post I've grabbed Heat Signature as well as Shady Part of Me and I'm replaying Dysmantle. I've also wishlisted Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal and will nab that the minute it goes on sale.

Edit: Ooh and I'm also looking forward to the release of Outworld Station on Tuesday. That looks like a really interesting top down, space station factory automation game :)

Selaco, with the way I play it. The enemies kick my ass all the time because I always just go guns blazing. I’ve had to relearn to use cover and such.

moody,

I find they kick my ass because they’re often hard to see until they’re already shooting at me

mrfriki,

This was actually a strangely chill shooter as it has far more exploration and secrets hunting than I was expecting. Can’t wait for next chapter.

Zahille7,

It’s really fun. I actually found myself booting up the game just to play the auto-clicker that’s in it lol

mrfriki,

You’re right I flipped way too much burgers :)

Is noone going to mention the bulge?

Rai,

I was looking more at the ‘stache than the bulge tbh

meyotch,

The 70’s were a sexy, sexy decade. Lotsa polyester and great facial hair.

So this is what REPO looks like. I heard it was super popular, but never had a chance to encounter it.

Cheers!

Generation Zero. Player power builds slowly, especially in single player.

Thank you! I’m having a lot of fun doing this so it for sure makes it easier to stay dedicated

Never heard of The Escapist before, sounds like a fun game.

Cheers!

It’s a lot of fun to play. I’d definitely recommend the Second one over the first one purely because of the multiplayer though

There’s something I like about those cat pics. Maybe it’s the way they look almost cat, but not entirely. Do they move like cats?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

They’re semi-catlike? Sadly most of their movement is limited to walking/running around and jumping up on the Player’s lap when you pet them. I’d kill for them to be able to scale buildings and walls like the player though

I like to see good animal or bird life in games, really ups the immersion for me if it’s gotta good algorithm. Do they react if you kick em? An I think ppl have enjoyed looking after animals in computer games as long as there’s been computer games. I remember these tamagotchi things in the 80s or 90s, little LCD screens with some sorta animal you had to look after by pressing a tiny button.

I’ve been enjoying your screenshot posts, cheers

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never really thought to kick the Animals, i will say they run away and hide if you cause too much of a fuss around them though. On the subject of Tamagotchi though i actually have one! It’s currently disassembled after an unfortunate accident with a toddler and some soda, but i’m pretty sure it still works if i put it together. For a while though i traded it for a Digimon V-Pet though

Fallout games allow you to be as slow as you want with the right builds. It’s never too fast tbh.

grooving, do gaming w What's a good slow paced shooter game?

TheHunter: call of the wild is the slowest fps I’ve ever played, its luxuriously chill. Mostly walking through beautifully executed forests during different weather and times of day to spot a group of deer drinking at a lake and then tryna shoot em all before they bolt off. Then the rest of the time is chasing down the blood trail to confirm the kill and get money to buy new weapons. Multiplayer and single player

@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

TBH, I might struggle to actually shoot anyhing if it’s as gorgeous as the limited gameplay videos I’ve seen are depicting it. Slow paced walking simulator where you are challenged to spot wildlife, yes please.

Ive got many hours in this game. It is a very nice and easy going game for sure. There are some bugs that come up everynow and then but overall its a very pleasant game.

Since years I’m enjoying with The Dark Mod, a Thief like First Person stealth (FPS-, puzzle-, strategy-, adventure -, survival,-,horror-, RPG elements, depending on the mission) game (Windows, Linux, Mac), there isn’t a need of an fast gameplay. It’s 100% free and currently with 170 fan made missions, which you can download and add direct from the game menu.
