If it was from 10-20 years ago, top down from an angle with modeled 3d units, it might be one of the Wargame titles from Eugen, or if it was WW2 setting maybe Combat Mission: beyond overlord, Company of Heroes, or Men of War.

If it was straight on top down 2D, it might have been Mud and Blood, which was a WW2 wave defense flash game.

Was it top down in the sense of looking straight down or from above at an angle? Were the units modeled as individual 3d models or just 2D icons?

Also, roughly what time period was it set in? Like, Napoleonic, WW2, Cold War, Contemporary?

Was it single player or multi player focused?

Could you get additional units as the game went on or were you locked with the units you started with? How could you get additional units? Points? Timer?

A lot of real-time tactics and turn-based tactics games would fit that description.

Matrix Games specializes in milsims, so they’re an easy way to get a list.

As another commenter says, having more criteria to narrow it down would help.

I like the Close Combatseries myself, which is real-time.

Can you provide more details? What you’ve described so far sums up most RTS games. Was it real time? Turn based? Were the units modern day? Historical? Sci-fi?

Command and Conquer perhaps? CC Tiberium Wars came out around 2007. Starcraft is also a similar RTS; Starcraft 2 came out in 2010

Elderborn is an indie first person “metal AF slasher.” I guess it could be considered souls like. but you can be a lady barbarian thwacking skeletons with a hammer. Well theres a bunch of weapons but hammer rules. Id say its a tough game but not all that hard.

Theres a kick mechanic where you can boot an enemy over a ledge. Landing one of those is just about the most satisfying thing for me.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Oooh, thanks!

hamsterkill, do gaming w Self insert power fantasy recommendations?

How important is being an RPG in this case? (as I note only a couple of your examples are in that genre)

The below suggestions are not RPGs, but I think fit your request.

It’s a survival game, but Conan Exiles ticks a lot of those boxes once you get a bit geared (which doesn’t take super long), and it can be played single player. Just have to be okay with some janky experiences.

I will also note that you are a girl in Hades 2.

Sifu is another one you might enjoy, though bosses certainly are a challenge.

Bayonetta is probably the most pure example of a horde-fighting action game with a sexy female witch protagonist. Lollipop Chainsaw is there too, for more of an airhead protagonist. Darksiders 3 could fit the bill as well.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Sifu has girl? I got that for free on Epic. I was looking at it yesterday but decided not to check if the guy on the box is the only player character. Thanks!

It's not an RPG but how about Lollipop Chainsaw?

It has hordes of enemies you can slaughter (which provides a certain kind of relaxation, to be fair) as a pretty girl who possibly looks like you maybe, and you can see boobs.

I never actually played the game (although I'm interested in playing it) but it was the first thing that popped into my mind.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Too hetero-coded. I’m gay.

While it’s not indie: Cyberpunk 2077?

You can make your character as pretty as you please (though, no “sex appeal” -slider like in Saint’s Row :D). Also, no 3rd person camera, so you’d only see your character in inventory screen. Otherwise there’s bit of boobies to be seen - and massive amounts if you so choose with modding.

Difficultywise it’ll cater to very casual approach, but the game does the “bethesda-thing” where you will end up as destroyer of worlds regardless of difficulty.

edit: btw, you might want to specify your platform? No modding for cyberpunk on consoles as of yet, I just assumed PC here.

Don_alForno,

That’s why you ride bikes, d’uh!

regarding OP, kinda bummer that the bike bug which lead to nude A-posing when riding a bike was fixed.

I did goof with it when it was still a thing: https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/2b36c192-ea07-4976-b7f4-9f608b9adfba.webp

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Sorry, CDPR is too close to the companies they’re trying to satirise in the game. Satire isn’t funny when it’s hypocritical. After that cosplay contest, I’m never giving Projekt Red a cent.

Duke_Nukem_1990,

What…what cosplay contest?

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

One of the finalists was a cis woman who pretended to be trans. She put a glowstick in her pants to cosplay the Chromanticore model. CDPR decided to reward that with a feature on their Twitter.

comically_cluttered, (edited )

I’d rather not wade into the larger “CDPR is transphobic” debate, but here’s an article from Polygon from a few years ago detailing some stuff, including the cosplay contest controversy:

polygon.com/…/cyberpunk-2077-marketing-cd-projekt…

To save you from reading the whole thing, basically, during the run-up to Cyberpunk’s release, CDPR got very… edgelord with their marketing.

One of the more controversial pieces of marketing was an in-universe poster advertising a drink called “Mix It Up”, which depicts what appears to be a trans woman in a highly sexualized manner.

They then organized a cosplay contest for further marketing and that resulted in another controversy related to the poster, wherein a cisgender woman cosplayed as the depicted trans woman, CDPR made it one of the finalists in the contest, and it predictably led to outcry for being tone-deaf at best, malicious at worst.

The larger issues with the poster itself (and CDPR as a whole) are in the article, but the cosplay thing really comes down to this bit in the article:

CDPR also included a cisgender cosplayer as the Mix It Up girl among their cosplay contest finalists. Even if you buy the company line that the poster represents how queer bodies have been appropriated for marketing, their entire argument is negated when they have a cis person dress up in that queer body as part of their own video game marketing.

If you’re thinking perhaps the model was well-meaning, attempting to create a trans-positive cosplay, trying to further highlight queer commodification CDPR spoke of originally, or just a misguided ally who got it wrong this time around, I have bad (yet predictable) news for you. Yugoro Forge, the cosplayer in question, tweeted that her costumes are “beyond politics,” and when pushed on the fact her Cyberpunk 2077 costume dehumanized trans people who are already subject to violence so frequently, she replied, “many cis men and women face acts of harassment and violence on a daily basis as well.”

So you’ve basically got them saying the poster is satire, but then they’re not only doing exactly what they claim they’re satirizing, but doing it in a way that can be seen as rubbing salt in the wound for people who were already hurt by the initial depiction.

My personal opinion on the whole thing is that they really just fucked up and couldn’t read the room, but they do also have a history of being less-than-kind to the queer community themselves (seen in the article), so I can understand why people view the company as hypocritical in regards to the whole thing.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Self insert power fantasy recommendations?

Hmm. What about Nier: Automata?

SnotFlickerman,

Bonus: you also get to play as a pretty boy.

mic_check_one_two,

This is the best answer tbh. You’re either playing as a girl or as an egg a future femboy a twink programmer who hides behind the pretty girl and lets her do the fighting 90% of the time.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

2B has her own personality :( I want to self insert

BmeBenji, do gaming w Self insert power fantasy recommendations?

If you like Prey 2017, and you want to kill things like an absolute monster, and you want to play as a girl, Dishonored 2 is a good fit for all of those things. It’s not indie, and I’m not sure you can see boobs, but it’s a great game by any measure (though it’s not well optimized on PC). It’s not an RPG and it lacks the large skill tree of Prey, but it is an action-forward stealth immersive sim with cool eldritch super powers.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Thankies!

LainTrain, do games w What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.

Yikes. Is the review in the screenshot true? They got root anticheat? Or rootkit data harvesting?

FauxLiving, (edited )

No, it’s misinformation and people who uncritically repeat things without verification.

I’ve had the game installed for years and have to manually apply updates, there hasn’t been one. e: I just checked, last update in Steam is dated 2022

All they’ve done is make their TOS universal across all of their games.

e: adding this from last post. TL;DR: People are spreading misinformation

So, let’s look into the claims.

Here’s the TOS:

www.take2games.com/legal/en-US/

There is nothing about root level access.

In addition, if you look at the patch history for Borderlands 2 on SteamDB, you will see that the last update for the game was 4 August 2022.

So, to be clear: There is nothing in the TOS that requires you to submit to a rootkit and there is no spyware that has been added. The comment in the OP is simply wrong.

Diurnambule,

He said it, root access level in the TOS of BorderLand. Not that a root kit is included, but that they allowed them self to inclid it whenever they can. That not misinformation…

FauxLiving,

He said it

That not misinformation…

It is misinformation if the things he said are not true.

So, let’s look into the claims.

Here’s the TOS:

This is what happens when you simply read social media and repeat what you’ve heard without checking to see if you’re spreading misinformation.

Cataphract,

I’m really curious on what actual specific steps you took to “check”. It took me about a few minutes of reading to find it.

www.take2games.com/privacy/en-US/#3-sources-of-in…

We also may use internal and third-party anti-cheat technologies to detect and prevent cheating within our Services.

I hope the people who upvoted your misinformation are able to see this, please think of your actions and conduct before posting multiple comments defending a company if you’re worried about misinformation.

Warl0k3,

That… doesn’t actually rebut anything FauxLiving said. That they may use anti-cheat, and that they may have automatic updates, aren’t the claims in question here.

Crashumbc,

Ummm those two would statements would in fact allow them to install a “anticheat” rookit/kernel program at any time without your knowledge…

Diurnambule, (edited )

He said they added a kernel level anticheat in the TOS which is true. But they seem to have not included it in the game yet. But they tell that by possedong the game you allow them to. Edit : typo but can’t correct “possedong” now

wetbeardhairs,

possedong

I’d like to know how your autocorrect learned this word

Hadriscus,

That’s a typo from an i to an o, commenter probably meant possessing but made a mistake and tried to type posseding, I suspect their native language is french given their username and “to possess” in french is “posséder”.

That being said, a possedong sounds intriguing

Diurnambule,

Do you do osint ? … That pretty Mich on point. I use a English/French keyboard and sometime autocorrect do strange things.

Hadriscus,

I had to look this up… looks like it’s a whole thing

Diurnambule,

Really ? I though, since you used a though process used in osint. Osint is open sources intelligences, it is looking for data about something/someone in data available for all
