Since New Vegas isn’t on your list it has to be my top recommendation. Of all games I’ve ever played, New Vegas is the most reactive to and acknowledging of the insane and unbelievable things the player does. The actions the player takes have permanent effects in the game, and everyone affected will know that the player is responsible for whatever happened and say so. You personally control the fate of every community in the Mojave. In other games, you are powerful on behalf of the story, but in New Vegas you personally are all the power in the entire game.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

New Vegas is ugly. It’s the post-apocalypse, everyone’s covered in dirt.

@Kwakigra@beehaw.org avatar

To be honest, this is what kept me from playing it at first as well. It’s a pretty old game, but mods can help a lot toward making it easier on the eyes. With Vortex through Nexus modding is super easy nowadays.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

I don’t want New Vegas characters to be supermodels, it’s not authentic. I want to play a game where it makes sense for me to be pretty

Kwakigra,
@Kwakigra@beehaw.org avatar

In New Vegas, it will make sense for your character to look any way they want. In the game’s story, nice clean things are available but restricted to the rich and powerful. The player, however, is the most powerful and the most influential as to who ends up getting what by the end of the game.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Haha, yeah. The courier probably has the biggest turnaround of any bethesda game protagonist. They go from a completely anonymous average person delivering packages to being essentially a demigod capable of pretty much anything. No fate, no destiny, no special heritage, just you and your choices.

araneae,

You can go to New Vegas itself, buy a pin-striped suit or a cocktail dress, gamble, drink, do quests and flirt/fuck people with sexuality defining perks for the player. You can even score a cute dress off a dead broad’s bones in the DLC. You can serve cunt but you have to work for it, basically. New Vegas itself is like the biggest city-state in that slice of the country so its actually the one place in Fallout that suits being an e-girl bad bitch protagonist.

Heck yeah. I play Helldivers a ton and when a newbie is in my game I bring a mech suit and some kind of secondary weapon for them to use an experience just how cool it can be. Someone did it for me and I’m definitely passing it on whenever I can.

I actually just played this yester… Oh, hold on got to set the Wiimote down on a flat surface to calibrate it.

Goretantath,

Start wearing the wrist strap and maybe you wouldnt need to recalibrate it so much. All the shock damage can’t be good for it since all 4 of mine only ever had to be recalibrated twice in their life.

Justdaveisfine,

Wii sports resort makes you calibrate every connected wiimote each time you launch a game.

Its quick but a little annoying.

Last Epoch: Fun ARPG with a couple different female characters available. The buildcraft complexity strikes a sweet spot between Path of Exile and Diablo 4. You can definitely turn your brain off and kill enemies by the truckload.

Fallout 4: Along the lines of Skyrim, just swap fantasy with post-apocalyptic sci-fi. You can play as a girl, and see plenty of tiddies depending on mods (shoutout to the “A Storywealth” collection on Nexusmods).

Fallout 3 and New Vegas: see above, just older.

Wayfinder: fun RPG game with set characters, but a few are girls. Combat was fun IMO. This one started as a live service game, but after backlash and their publisher dropping them, the devs rebuilt the game as a pay-to-play game with an end.

Bayonetta: kill tons of baddies with over-the-top combat as a sexy witch.

Dynasty Warriors & other “musou” games: lumping these together, but girls to play and TONS of enemies to kill

Granblue Fantasy: Relink: plenty of girls to play as, and fun combat. Honestly, the biggest drawback to this one IMO is not enough content after you finish the campaign.

Saints Row 2, 3, 4: definitely self-indulgent trash, definitely boobs, still fun

ReplicantBatty,

I’d also recommend Saints Row 2 and 3. It starts off pretty normal but you get OP pretty fast to the point where you’re like an unstoppable force of nature, it becomes completely gratuitous and over the top. Pretty decent character customization as well.

Panties, do gaming w Self insert power fantasy recommendations?

I’m not sure if Rollerdrome might be your thing, but I enjoyed it. You play as a girl competing in a roller-skating death arena. It’s a bit like Tony hawk games, but combat plays a huge role, it’s very satisfying and it’s very well integrated with the rollerskating. I really enjoyed the first ten or so scenarios, but I’m not so good at score based games so I never finished it.

Skill based matchmaking?

Kusimulkku,

Probably frustrating for anyone who doesn’t want to play with others who don’t know how to play

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

That makes literally zero sense. The point of skill based match making is that you’re matched against people who are equivalent to your skill level. It allows skilled players to go against skilled players and newbies to git gud.

nokturne213,

What they are saying is if they cannot curb stomp noobs the game is unfair.

Kusimulkku,

Well close, I’m saying I don’t mind being curb stomped as a noob by experienced players

TwanHE,

Idk there is something I miss about older games where I slowly got better until I was the person on top of the scoreboard.

Also SBMM has some problems for better players depending on the implementation, at the end of the ranking bell curve it stops working. Often the skill difference between a top 100k player and a top 1k player is the same as between a top 1k and top 100 player.

But the top 1k all fall within the same matchmaking pool, even if it leads to unfair games.

Currently experiencing this within The Finals where I regularly get put against a full stack of top 20 players while either solo or duo q myself (were top 2500).

Kusimulkku,

And who do you play against early on before it has assessed your skill level?

shoo,

Kind of ironic for the meme because cod 4 did have a version of sbmm.

Skill based matchmaking is the worst thing to happen to team based games in my memory. Theoretically it should lead to engaging games but it usually just is a mishmash of the high mmr players being high as a kite and low mmr players that got carried too far.

Just feels like, why try if you’re guaranteed a 50% win rate no matter what? That leads to more friction between the people checking out and playing for fun and people playing to make their mmr bigger.

It used to be fun to see your progression relative to the lobby and how you were improving over time. If it felt too easy you could give yourself a handicap with an off meta gun/strat. If it was hard it felt extra good to have the rare game as a top performer.

And before people say “you just like stomping noobs”, I’ve been on both sides in many games. Floated top 2-3% in Rocket League and hated every minute, been a cellar dweller in some shooters and had hundreds of hours of fun.

There are lots of new Skyrim mods since the last time you played it. Even if that was only last week.

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

So 50% score loss because of a permissive EULA, got it …

I’ll just leave this in the “Pitchforks against Pitchford” and “Woke, must hate” folder. Call me back when they do actually include a rootkit in their games instead of jumping the gun because loud feelings say loud things. If only there was some way to get statistics of the people getting outraged because of posts in a subreddit community and the people who don’t have a problem with rootkits installed by their favorite MMOs.

MonkRome,

Let’s try this logic on other things. Their EULA says they can cut off a finger whenever they want. They haven’t cut off my finger for my purchase of this game, call me back when they cut it off.

If you’re someone that doesn’t want companies to have root level access to your computer, waiting until it happens is silly when they’re telling you it’s gonna happen. It is every reason to complain and be concerned.

sugar_in_your_tea,

It’s probably a common EULA for all games, so they probably added it to carify the terms for some other game that includes it.

TheObviousSolution, (edited )
@TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee avatar

No offense, but have you ever read EULAs? Even Windows EULA has a lot of “cut off a finger” provisions. It’s invasive, and people are right to complain. People might cry Linux, but when their job requires them to use Windows and abide by that EULA, most will crumble.

Like it or not, most EULAs are legally binding bullshit that more often than not has to be ignored or bypassed outside of it if necessary. How many people are watching YouTube and ignoring their Terms of Service while using adblockers?

This is nothing new in the world of gaming, and to the scale of affecting over 50% of the score of a game for a provision that is often included in other games they have no problem with is what’s revealing. A lot of MMOs and many multiplayer games do, but people haven’t cried wolf outside of a minority of their community. Pitchford has given his explanation, that it is a matter of the 2K EULA Gearbox has to adopt.

Let’s try this logic on other things. Are all 2K games that have this in their newly updated EULA’s being boycotted? Hint: Civilization is a 2K game.

Some things are just obvious when your head is not stuck inside the ass of a circlejerk bandwagon. It’s just sad that some people aren’t honest with themselves and and are not willing to recognize how easily they are influenced by people who are holding hidden grudges. Too many games are getting shit on because of this, and I say this as someone who is not looking forward to the next Borderlands game until the discounts drop it well below its 80 dollar price tag several years from now while plenty of loud people in this thread will go out to buy it on day one.

MonkRome,

I agree they should expand their review protest to all games in the catalog and not selectively review bomb. Consumers have every reason to impact products success through their purchasing power and reviews. I stopped giving my money to game companies I don’t like a decade ago. It means missing some games, but there is so much out there it hardly matters. I don’t give a shit about this specific controversy, but I do think people have every reason to use their bully pulpit to attempt to impact consumer habits and therefore at least attempt change, even if they are often unsuccessful.

gamermanh,

I’ll just leave this in the “Pitchforks against Pitchford” and “Woke, must hate” folder.

So you’re an idiot?

No Mass Effect? Too AAA?

knokelmaat,

This is the one, playing through 1 for the second time right now and it’s just so good. It’s my first time as female Shepard and I think I like her more than male Shepard!

GeeDubHayduke,

Gotta love anything with Jennifer Hale. My male Sheps are always more physical, like Soldier, and my female Sheps are always more biotic. Tho, no matter how hard i try, I’m almost never very renegade-y.

MummysLittleBloodSlut,

Does the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer count, then? There are RPG elements, there are a bunch of playable women, and it is all about stomping hordes.

If this sounds appealing and you aren’t already aware: this is not available in the remaster. Andromeda has a version of this, too.
