Overzeetop, do gaming w Two games free on Epic Games - Model Builder and Soulstice

Blood, Gore, Violence and Nudity? For free? Sign. Me. Up.

I kid of course. Nowadays I just get all of them (except that PC builder and 911 operator stuff…). I only have about 30-40 years left in my life, and I doubt I’ll ever clear my Epic freebie backlog.

Max Payne 3. After running consistent crashes on chapter 6 (I think?) I decided to play it on PC using a completed save file I found online. I was a bit annoyed with how Rockstar stores their save files but I eventually figured it out. Turns out I was literally a minute away from completing the chapter.

I managed to finish it and I’ve moved on to Cyberpunk.

I’ve also been playing The Sims 3. I want to try to create a world free of lots and any kinds of spawn points and place a family and see how things go when you essentially break the game and need to buy fridges for apples to plant, travel through time to get seeds, or flirt with the mailman to expand your family tree.

Buddahriffic, do games w What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

I’ve been interested in Soulslike games and got Code Vein on sale recently. I think I’m about halfway through and it’s pretty good. Playing at the 2nd hardest difficulty, dying here and there but also one or two shotting most bosses, which suggests it’s found a good sweet spot for difficulty where it’s not overly punishing but also not trivial, though I kinda wish I had started it on the hardest difficulty. I’m not sure how popular the game was but I suggest it.

SevenOneHeaven,

The ultimate anime waifu creator. I’d also recommend giving it a try for any souls fans out there. Also don’t be ashamed if you look up a guide on the cathedral.

Buddahriffic,

Haha walking into the cathedral was a cool gaming moment. I get there and am looking around, wondering who could have even built this, and then Louis asks “How is this even possible?”

They did a pretty good job with the follower conversations. Yeah, the random ones can get repetitive, but it added a bit more depth when Louis voiced what I was thinking. In another (annoying) area, as you get to the end, he says he hopes we’re done here soon.

If you can handle dying a lot while learning the ins and outs of the world, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly is a wonderful package completely for free. Especially if you add the G.A.M.M.A. modpack to it, makes the game play significantly deeper, much harder (in some bullshit and also fair ways), but also just crazy immersive; makes you feel like the actions you take do matter, but if you were to die, you’d just be another loot bag for some other Stalker to come across

I haven’t played Stalker but I did finish Into the Radius which is heavily inspired by it.

Littleyush,

Oh Into The Radius made me shit myself in fear more times than I’d like to admit

Ultimatenab, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

I will start. I want to see a game that mashes factory building with either FPS or RTS, where one or more players create a supply chain inside a zone/factory and the other one or more players utilise the ammo, weapons, vehicle etc.

I think I’ve seen Orbital Potato on YouTube cover a few games that might come close to that idea

slazer2au,

Space engineers?

One team gathers resources and processes the resources, the other flys around in a ship blowing crap up.

Moonguide,

Wasnt there a starship troopers game that was pretty close to this? Swear I saw a jackfrags video on a game like this.

Factorio can be that if you play pvp with a mod that allows you to build and control units like an rts

t3rmit3,

This sort of sounds like Foxhole

I was also thinking that. Long term battles simulated to the point of working on supply chain

Ultimatenab,

Thank you for your suggestion. I’ve looked at this and it is really very close to what I was thinking.

I bought it and I will play it this weekend.

Basically Dwarf Fortress, but sci-fi, with space travel and with really good 3D graphics.

An overly complicated simulation of an entire universe where I can do anything that the game’s laws of physics allow me to do. Particularly, I dream of a game where you can fulfil Star Trek fantasies of solving convoluted problems with equally convoluted solutions; but without it being a pre-programmed option. (“Reconfigure the deflector dish to output a neutrino wave to counter act the tachyon field!”)

Fake physics that allow for real fake science and engineering.

bionicjoey,

Rimworld with the starship mod?

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Close, but RimWorld’s mechanics are nowhere near the complexity, even with mods. And I don’t just mean with how many different types of rocks and trees exist. I’ve gotten as close to a DF-like experience + the space travel part, but it’s still like 1/4 of the full experience.

Although it’s moddable, which boosts it’s playability a bit more. I’ve played more RimWorld than DF at this point.

PULSAR: Lost Colony kinda has this.

Snoopy, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

Hmmm, quite hard to choose. I would say an anticapitalist game. Most of game focus on growing, gaining power and i never saw an game that has horizontal power hard coded to its bone.

For example : city skyline unlock new building based on population threesold. The city development is geared toward growing, expanding and creating new job. That’s bad. We can’t live in this kind of world anymore and yet we fail to imagime something different.

Can’t we imagine a new economical system and set up new variable ? Or a game that go beyond the scope of heroes’s story ? Why should we be special ?

Blake,

Plenty of games are anti-capitalist (cookie clicker is the first one that came to mind!) but they are usually critiques of capitalism by demonstrating the issues with it, rather than demonstrating alternatives.

There’s a minecraft mod where villages will give you free resources if you’ve been helpful to them in the past, but it’s quite limited. I agree it would be interesting to play a game where alternative systems are clearly depicted. Would fit well with a sci-fi game.

Terra Nil is a great game. It’s really chill and relaxing.

Snoopy,
@Snoopy@jlai.lu avatar

True as Sim City where the end result it a big city without nature., nor landscape. :)

t3rmit3, (edited )

Terra Nil

You start with an area that was destroyed by humans (and capitalism), and have to basically revive the ecosystem, and then remove all your buildings and leave.

There are also games like Stranded: Alien Dawn (which is sort of a mashup of Kenshi and Rimworld) where you are not supposed to be growing, you are supposed to either reach an equilibrium and live there sustainably, or escape/ leave.

Snoopy,
@Snoopy@jlai.lu avatar

Yeah, those game are great. Stranded, will look that. There is also Eco. And i would add getting over it :)

Another economical system ? Let’s say universal income, bank of time ? Libre currency ? An anarchy system with several democraty system and quadratic vote ? A shared decision along other mayors (players) ? I’m willing to explore those ideas where the idea of grow is simply erased along infinite ressource. Basnished is somewhat close to it as resources are limited.

Something that follow GIEC’s recommendation where building the biggest city will result a game over and economic collapse.

Horizontality skill system. Veloren try to do that but it’s not what i’m seeking. Maybe soul game are closer as you learn how to be better instead of using skill, weapon, armor ? It would erase the experience point in rpg system. There is no grow. You are just a human with the same set as everyone. No better armor, no new skills. So you can be killed by a new player.

Collaborative game instead competitive one . There are lot ideas to explore as relationship. :)

Need for Speed: The Run, but good. Give me an uninterrupted race accoss the US (or any other continent), against 199 other drivers, with strategic decisions to make such as fuel stops, sleep breaks, multiple paths… Make it a rogue lite with unlockable vehicle classes, police chases, weather changes, racing through traffic… Bonus points for realistic physics and VR support.

Nfs the run was so disappointing. Even for a nfs game.

SomethingBurger,

Some NFS game are straight up terrible (Undercover…), but at least the good ones with similar gameplay (NFSU2, Carbon) still exist. But The Run was worse than bad; it was disappointing. It could have been good, but wasn’t, and they never tried to make another one with a similar premise.

The only good part of the game is the bonus mission in Carbon Canyon, in all its HD glory.

PrivateNoob,

What about the avalanche mission? Did you find that too Micheal Bay movie-like?

SomethingBurger,

I don’t remember it. I don’t think I played this game a lot.

PrivateNoob,

Here you go if you’re interested: youtu.be/M0fpD8LP08Y?si=Mb_msbQ8FFDghfbG

PrivateNoob,

Honestly I loved The Run. It was a jam packed unique short game experience. It was definitely too short for it’s price, but you know at that time Blackbox was working on 3 separate games.

WoW but with the storytelling of FFXIV

Ultimatenab,

I got 5k hours in WoW up to Cataclysm and 10k+ how in FFXIV (beta tester from 1.0). I think the story telling of WoW up to WoTLK, was told amazingly well and it had a strong point, but BC was even better. Things rapidly declined from Cataclysm and this is why I never got back, whereas I’ve stuck with FFXIV for 13 years.

I’ll tell you what I want… Katamari Damaci online multi player. Imagine the final level where you roll up the world but with the mechanics of the multiplayer mode that was already in place. It’ll be like agar.io where you get bigger and you absorb other people as you get bigger or you get absorbed because you weren’t quick enough at growing. They could update the levels to be themed and add new items and Easter eggs for you to discover and pick up. I want this soooooo bad! I want to play with my friends and strangers. I want different play modes where you get the biggest in the time, pick up the most of a specific thing, capture the flag, use your katamari to play golf but it gets harder if you pick up weird shaped stuff that throws off your balance, Easter egg hunt, racing, team games where you absorb the enemy!!! I want it alllllll!!!

Ormulum,

Oh my god, this would be so chaotic, I would play the absolute hell out of an online multiplayer Katamari! I love this idea.
