upstream, do gaming w How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games.

Tbh I gave up on mobile gaming about 8 years ago. Got so tired of sifting through the crud looking for gems.

I replay candybox/candybox 2 at least once a year. Fantastic incremental ascii games

simple, do games w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

I had a list of some flash games I used to obsess over, but I can’t find it right now. I’ll throw Sonny 2 as my recommendation, I beat that game many times and I still come back to it every now and then. It’s a top-tier RPG.

I would also recommend Gemcraft and Bloons TD, but they have premium sequels now that are way better than the web games.

I remember a time when I would finish an AC game in like one weekend, but after black flags the series just became boring. Seems like open world slop is what ubisoft is going for.

I didn’t really enjoy the older games but had a blast with odyssey and Valhalla. I wonder what this game does for me in that case.

simple,

You probably won’t like it then.

hogunner,

Same. Unless I hear otherwise I’ll probably skip this one as, like you, I enjoyed the recent direction of the last 3 installments more than previous ones.

nandeEbisu, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

I like factory or management games, even ones where it is expected you will fail, like Dwarf Fortress, because it’s not about winning or getting a high score. It’s about going in with an idea and setting it through to fruition. I like seeing things I spent a bunch of time on as a large concrete thing I can go back and look at again, and actually have it provide meaningful value in a direct way instead of just incrementing some number in the engine somewhere.

I still play some roguelites that are like that, but there is something nice about sandbox games where progress isn’t directly quantifiable.

Absolutely amazing game. Loved it from start to finish.

I finished the story in TOTK on Sunday, and I just started Baldur’s Gate 3. But I’m starting to wonder if I should pause BG3 for a minute and play through something a little smaller rather than going from one huge game to another.

Blizzard,

Play Baldur’s Gate 3, nothing else matters!

HawlSera, do games w Just finished my first playthrough of Prey by Arkane Studios and WOW.

Try the 2006 version of Prey next

JackDark,

Seriously! Every time I see something about Prey and it’s not the 2006 version, I’m annoyed.

HawlSera,

I’m just amazed that prey 2006 is still hilariously cheap on those gray Market sites, cuz that’s the only way to get it now

One day I’ll give the game with the same name an actual shot, because I’m sure it’s good on its own merits, but it will always be a reminder that Prey 2. The REAL Prey 2 was stolen from us

JackDark,

Every so often I watch that gameplay trailer for Prey 2 and make myself sad.

HawlSera,

Never forget what they stole from you

wccrawford,

Yeah, when the new Prey came out I was very, very confused for a while.

I ended up liking the game, but I didn’t find it as interesting as the original.

HawlSera,

I felt personally attacked when this game was not only blowing up in popularity, but the original was taken off of steam and seemingly memory holed

I still need to play it, been meaning to go a playthrough on my Steam Deck but every time I hear about Prey someone is always saying it’s a great game.

Getting familiar with Team Fight Tactics… I loved Dota Underlords. CS2 for nostalgic memories. Magic Arena, new season just began.

A remaster of the original two Thief games of the quality they did with Dead Space.

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

I really want to play single-player versions, or at least on my own private server, games like Travian or Ikariam. Basically resource management strategies but without the insane need to be 24/7 online in anticipation of an enemy attack.

Edit: Also a single player tab targetting open world rpg.

@Ultimatenab

A single server MMO like eve online, but with real stakes.

In eve, when you die, you keep your character, most of your assets are safe, either by meta gaming or game mechanics.

You can't really harm/steal from characters.

Which reduces the need to work together and defend your character and your assets. Risk aversion and occasional replacement is a valid strategy.

There is more stuff wrong with eve... but the biggest problem is the stakes.

lloram239,

Very tricky to accomplish as long as people can interact with each other in the real world and bypass whatever rules and restrictions you have in the game rules, be it in terms of just communicating in situations where they shouldn’t be able to or running multiple accounts and characters at the same time to boost their power and influence.

You’d need to get extremely draconian with the anti-cheat, require real world ID for account creation, not allow new player once the game started and all that.

laxu,

Plus there would always be griefers who just want to ruin other people’s game because the repercussions are at most a bit of money (if they get banned and have to buy a new copy of the game), rather than incarceration, bodily harm, or death in the real world.

Crotaro,

May I introduce you to Ultima Online?

You have some items that are not lost upon death (either by them being special and “blessed” or by you paying some in game gold to insure them (costing you every time you die), but everything else? On your corpse, ready to be taken by the nearest player and even humanoid enemy. More than once have I seen a lich just grab some of my stuff and cackle off back into the dungeon.

Aside from being able to lose stuff on death, there are actual Thievery skills ranging from sneaking to pickpocketing and lockpicking (for stealing from player homes or when you unearth treasure chests). There is a “safe overworld” but many popular private servers have removed that. You might go about your daily business to grab some stuff from the bank teller and next thing you know, a grandmaster thief took your precious sword from your backpack (there are a lot of skill checks involved depending on how many possible witnesses there are (player and NPC), if the thief is invisible, how heavy the item is and such).
