Transporter_Room_3, do gaming w M for Mature
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

Taking a look at my installed games list, my dream is self-sustainable communities, building an off-grid homestead, and a world where everyone’s basic needs are provided for.

It’s all building games and I like ones where you can build a small settlement with multiple people assisting in various aspects.

My only gripe with city builders is they focus too heavily on forcing US views instead of real-world examples (walkable cities aren’t viable, lack of dedicating 90% of areas to cars is penalized, zoning bs, etc)

kemsat,

Farthest Frontier is my newest addition from that genre

SeekPie,

Any recommendations/favourites?

I like mucking about in Cities Skylines with mods, that’s basically my goto when I don’t feel like playing anything else.

Right now since I got a new pc and it’s on sale, I’ve been playing fallout 4 with a bunch of settlement building mods installed. Probably not gonna be on this much longer.

Next I think I’ll give Ixion a try.

Here’s a few I spent some time on in no particular order, ranging from top-down style city management to first person settler type:

Banished

Factorio & Satisfactory

Caesar 3/Pharoah

Frostpunk

Surviving Mars

Subnautica

Medieval Dynasty

Against the storm (never could get into it, might have to give it another try)

Timberborn (didn’t get to play much, it’s on my list)

Dyson Sphere Program <— keep coming back to this one too especially now that my computer can go above 10fps

I love fallout’s settlement system, and specifically the mod Sim Settlements. I also like the idea of making a homestead for many people to live in and work together. Not many games that allow both group survival and independent building. Most that I’ve tried are like State of Decay, which is fun, but I don’t like the buildings being on rails. I like getting creative even if that means things get sloppy and disorganized.

My factory builders tend to utilize a lot of point-point logistics if available, otherwise it’s a spaghettified mess of conveyor belts and pipes. The kind that make experienced players cry and flee in terror. But they’re mine.

I’m also looking forward to seeing how good Manor Lords will be. If it looks good after a few days it’ll make a nice birthday present to myself.

If my game preference determines how I want the world to be: I must want the world to be a fucked up, cursed wasteland where everything is in a state of constant suffering, and the best outcome is killing everyone so they at least stop suffering.

I’ll let y’all figure out what kind of games I play.

Transporter_Room_3,

Outside.

Or dark souls.

outside

Thinking about it, real life isn’t much different than Dark Souls. But I would like the IRL monsters to look better than just a poorly re-skinned default character.

Transporter_Room_3,
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

You know, I was thinking just that as I typed. “outside is kind of turning into dark souls but MORE depressing” but figured that might be pushing it. Glad to know I’m not alone.

In modern society, EVERY day is like you’re in Blighttown.

Here’s one:

Tactics Ogre Reborn came out in late 2022 for Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC.

That game is a remaster of another title called Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which came out for the PSP in November 2010 in Japan. This puts it 12 years before Reborn.

But the PSP game was itself is a remake of a game with the same name that came out originally for the Super Famicom in October 1995, 15 years before its remake and 27 years before the remaster of that remake.

I’ve missed it until the Reborn remake, which I still need to finish. By the time I get back to it though, they might have put it out a 4th time!

Alexstarfire,

I’m still waiting for the Ogre Battle 64 remake… any day now… any day…

World of Warcraft hits 20 this year. I was there (via private servers), starting in 2006.

What… call of duty modern warfare 2 still has active servers, it came like 3 or 4 years ago… right?

That’s the 2022 game not the OG 360/PS3 game.

You were missing the joke where kids talk about the remake

IW4x is actually still really active if you want to play the original MW2 multiplayer.

There’s a bit of this in The Witcher 3. Usually in quests though, but maybe there should be a way to loot them before you kill them?

Wizard_Pope,
@Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

Do you kill the cat school witcher who dlaughtered a village lr do you let him live?

JackGreenEarth,

What, the one who’s name starts with K, in the ‘Following the thread’ quest? I let him live for the sake of his family, same as I reversed the Nithing in the quest of the same name, as the son doesn’t deserve to die for the sins of the father

Wizard_Pope,
@Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

No I dont think that is the one. Its the guy who killed a whole village except for one child because they tried to kill him after he got rid of the monster attacking them.

JackGreenEarth, (edited )

Ah, maybe I just haven’t done that quest yet. I just finished the ‘check if Ciri is in various locations’ quest.

Edit: spelling

RampantParanoia2365,

It’s a good one. It shows up as just another village contract in Velen, and takes a turn.

JackGreenEarth,

I’m only up to the level 18 quests at the moment.

JackGreenEarth,

In fact, I usually try to avoid getting into fights or uneccessary violence, the only exceptions being killing Whoreson Junior, and getting into a fight in that inn in Skellige over the ‘law of hospitality’, which didn’t end well.

RampantParanoia2365,

I usually kill him. Geralt tries to comfort him by mentioning his Butcher moniker, but they’re not at all the same circumstances. What he does is inexcusable, regardless of the girl he spares.

Wizard_Pope,
@Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

I never kill him. The villagers betrayed him. Yeah sure he overreacted but what else could he have done?

RampantParanoia2365,

Killed the guys who betrayed him, and dared the village to do something about it. Axxiid them walk off a cliff, burn down their barn. I’m sure there’s plenty of alternative options for a Witcher without slaughtering everyone.

Empricorn,

You mean pickpocketing?

JackGreenEarth,

Yeah, something like that, but that’s not a feature as far as I’m aware.

I’m only good at putting live explosives in other peoples’ pockets though.

Grim Dawn’s Asterkarn diary is the best subversion of this trope.

That’s a real fucking tease if I can’t also kill and loot his kid.

Psythik,

Can’t have a kid grow up without a parent. It’s the only humane solution.

How bad is it that my first though was: “I wonder how much xp the kid is worth?”

Doom came out in 1993 Dec 10

So yeah just over 30 years ago

I still listen to the soundtrack regularly. Though the game is slightly older than I am.

It could start withdrawing from a retirement account without penalty in about 6 years.

This would be a good use for LLMs. Humanizing random NPCs to encourage players to take non-violent routes.

Madison420,

Some games are trying to embrace the people of the land concept and I fuckin love it.

Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly… the pain…

This made me remember that NFS Underground 2 is 20 years old now, and it’s still the peak for the series.

XEAL,

Unpopular opinion: I fucking hate the open world premise of NFSU2 and I just quitted playing after a while, but I’ve completed NSFU several times.
