Started playing God of War (2018) again. I played through it twice on the PS4 and now playing through it for the first time on the PC. This is the best God of War game in my opinion.

I started a community for free games and now other people post free games there too and I’m accumulating new games to play faster than I can play them!

Honestly I just watch streamers like Cohhcarnage or Lirik as they pretty much only play new and indie games and they tend to give honest opinions on what they play. Literally just bought an indie game today after watching Lirik play it.

I liked the puzzle battle style of games like Disgaea 2.

Not a big fan of the classic “let’s all stand face to face and take turns bashing each other” approach.

Killer_Tree,

I agree, throwing enemies into stacks is much more amusing than everyone just standing around.

Been having a ton of fun with Granblue Fantasy Relink!

Persona 5’s combat is really good, although I feel like it’s less fun against bosses where you’re not constantly getting weak point resets.

The Xenoblade games have fantastic combat, I’d probably rank them XBC2(late game)>Torna>XBC3>XBX>XBC2(early game)>XBC1

SuperSaiyanSwag,

I love this. Lookin forward to future XBC games even more now.

I’ve played a fair amount of both but to be fair never competitively. Like for example I played tons of Warcraft 2 and 3 with friends at LAN parties. But these days I’m more likely to be drawn to a single player turn based game like XCOM, Civ, or FF Tactics style games.

I like both, but from this perspective my favourite so far has been BSG: Deadlock, with its simultanious turns. It lets you think and skips the gimicks of normal turn-based games.

PythagreousTitties,

I have Deadlock. But I always felt you don’t get to move far enough each turn.

I’m guessing you didn’t use the Manticores with a +10 Defence stance :D

PythagreousTitties,

Didn’t get that far

I like both, depends on the mood. I like halo and SciFi fps games but the army propaganda ones such as cod got old pretty fast and are boring. RPGs I love them from chrono trigger to ff 7,8,9 and 10 to elder scrolls and mass effect.

Western or Japanese RPG?

Both. Both are good.

I loved playing the greats like Halo CE and Morrowind when they came out. Both were phenomenal games, and they’re still great now.

But if there is one genre I play more, it’s definitely FPS. I dont really play them for the violence, but I find the actions in the game more engaging for the time I can play them than an RPG like Skyrim or Dragon Quest. I have recently been enjoying Ready or Not and Zero Hour, but I also have been playing Yakuza Kiwami. I just finished the slog of the coliseum battles in Yakuza Kiwami so things might pick back up, but I never found any part of RoN or ZH as much of a slog as that part of Kiwami.

RPGs all the way for me. Nearly all first-person games make me incredibly nauseous. I’m highly prone to motion and simulator sickness.

daddy32,

Ha, what about first person RPGs?

@ClipperDefiance@lemmy.world avatar

If you mean like older Megami Tensei games or Etrian Odyssey, then I can handle those. If you mean something more like Skyrim, then that’s a no.

I HATE playing mobile games but my wife got me hooked on Dawncaster. It’s a roguelike deck builder. I think it’s like $4-5 and no micro transactions but there are expansion packs to add new zones and enemies. I’ve since picked them all up. It’s regularly updated with free content packs and balance changes. The devs are very responsive with the community.

If you have any interest at all in Souls-likes and want to see where the genre really started, consider Blade of Darkness. An updated version is available on GOG with modern resolution support and slightly improved controls (still clunky as hell in comparison to newer games, though).

apotheotic,

Oh fancy, I’ll add it to the list. Thank you!

Oh, and just in the moment I hit send, I remembered another gem from the olden times:

Unreal World: Basically the survival game. 99% of today’s survival games are just a pale shadow of this. I mean, nowadays there are even “survival” games without hunger mechanics or proper simulation of wounds… No, this is not one of those easy mode survival games. This is Fantasy Finland, and it’s the Fantasy Iron Age. Available for free or, if you want updates faster, also for money on Steam.

apotheotic,

Oh neat, I’ll have to check this out. I’m not into the whole Open World Survival Crafting pandemic that has taken root but if this is like the best of the best of survival games then it should be fun!

King of Dragon Pass is ancient but worth picking up on mobile
