The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.

Cavemanfreak,

I tried playing the third and fourth installment, but they couldn’t hold a candle to the second one imo.

Fourth? The last real Settlers was Settlers 2.

If you like puzzle games have you played the entropy center? Its better than portal IMO

JonVonBasslake,

I don’t know what kind of game entropy center is, but puzzle is IMO not a wholly useful term, since there are different kinds of puzzles and portal falls into the physics puzzle subgenre. There probably are other fpp that aren’t based around physics, but I can’t think of any right now.

I love this thread, so many people are recommending games to each other. Nice to see.

My answer is games like Skyrim where it’s a sandbox but you can pick up different quests. I know there’s a proper name for them but it escapes me.

I know there’s GTA which is a similar type but I want a more twee fantasy vibe

HiT3k,

Open world RPG? They are probably the most common single player AAA experience released these days. Bethesda does work in a bit of “immersive sim” qualities to their games though, which is often what makes them feel so sand-boxy.

Rutracker is very specific in what emails it allows. Emails on my custom domain were already banned, I think they have a whitelist of email domains. I just ended up using my Gmail address, but yeah if you have a protonmail or own domain address I’m guessing you won’t have much success. You also might need to click the email validation link that ends up in spam.

kostel_thecreed,

Tutanota and mailbox.org work with Rutracker

Mothra,

I tried tutanota and didn’t. Sorry for the late reply

Shitty mobile gatcha games produce a lot of brain drain the gaming industry that’s for sure.

birdm, do zapytajszmer w Chciałbym sobie zahostować jakiś serwis, np. Funkwhale, żeby strumieniować swoją muzykę - jak?

Możesz postawić w domu serwer i dbać o niego. Nie ma z tym aż tak wiele pracy. Zarówno system jak i dockera można aktualizować automatycznie. Do tego można robić automatyczny backup na dowolny nośnik/serwer/chmurę. Można również skorzystać z jednego z wielu VPN’ów(openpvn, wireguard) czy iść o krok dalej i użyć np. cloudflared. Wszystko łatwo do postawienia na dockerze.
No ale do muzyki możesz oczywiście wykorzystać soudcloud’a - nie lepiej tak?

lysy,

No ale do muzyki możesz oczywiście wykorzystać soudcloud’a - nie lepiej tak?

Nie mogę, bo nie mam sklepu google, soundcloud w przeglądarce mobilnej to totalna porażka.

aerthel, do gaming w MMORPG NoIAP either Pay Up Front or a Subscription

Have you checked out Guild Wars 2? the whole base game (all story and maps up to lvl 80) are free to try; it does have IAP but they're exclusively cosmetics or Quality of Life items that don't give any advantages in PvP or End game PvE instances.

I’ve never gotten over how annoying the food / injury system in Metal Gear Solid 3 was. I almost didn’t play it because 30 minutes in it pissed me off so much.

Vehicle Combat games might be getting a comeback with the WH40k game and the Twisted Metal movie coming out.

Tempus Rising might kick off a C&C style RTS revivial.

MiddledAgedGuy, do gaming w What game mechanics do you love and hate?

Not really a game mechanic by definition, but I hate forced PvP in open world/MMO style games. Even survival games, where one could argue it fits.

I won’t buy a game if they do this, so I guess in that sense the PvP is a choice.

bankimu,

Destiny did this. I have no idea why people love that game, btw. The guns and the environment are well designed, and the story (if you call it that) teases of science fiction. But that’s all the positives about it.

The secrets are so bad that you need to follow a Youtube guide and would probably never discover them in a lifetime. The raids are a huge chore of completely arbitrary series of mechanics that are never explained. You grind for weapons and they get nerfed. You keep doing the same missions again and again and again. Your trophies that you firmed for in year can just go away without notice. The damned thing does not even run on Linux. The list of ways it is unfun goes on.

Splyntre, do gaming w What game mechanics do you love and hate?

One of my favorites that I fell in love with was a particular class on an MMO game called Rift. It was the chloromancer. In practice it was tricky and arguable how effective it is but it was a healer class that provided raid/group heals by doing damage. Your damage attacks would provide the heals.

Just a neat concept I immediately fell in love with.

Piers,

Brigette in Overwatch heals by attacking enemies if you wanted to try another example of that idea.

siipale, do gaming w What game mechanics do you love and hate?

I love simple controls or an elegant way to control simply. For example using one thumb to control two buttons simultaneously or the Super Mario Run control scheme where you only press on the touch screen, doesn’t matter where, and that’s it.

I hate it when in co-op game the other player’s actions can screw up the game e.g. moving the screen too far so the other player dies.

Piers,

Have you tried Divekick? It’s a 2d fighting game (IE, like Street Fighter) that only uses two buttons for 100% of the controls.

siipale,

No, I haven’t. I looked up a video of it and the fighting reminds me of TMNT arcade games which I like. I might give it a try some day.

I spy games

Razzazzika,

Like, hidden object games? Alawar and Artifex Mundi still crank several of them out each year I think. They’ve gone from only having hidden object scenes to being point and click adventure games with hidden object scenes. For thr most part pure hidden object games have all but vanished.

edit: you might like hidden folks, hidden through time, and looking for aliens. I think it’s all the same company but they are true hidden object games with large areas to search.

Silviecat44,

When i typed this comment I think I just wanted to playthis game again. I played it years ago and it has a lot if nostalgia

Tower Defense Games

Linear First Person Puzzle Games

fuzzywolf23,

We’re living in a golden age of tower defense games. Sanctum 2, elements td, dungeon of the endless/endless dungeon, rogue tower, dungeon defenders awakened, orcs must die 3, bug tdx, tiledeck td … Seriously there are so many. Even Path of Exile has a tower defense mode.
