If you enjoyed Into the Breach, take a look at Tactical Breach Wizards. Not much of an RPG, but the combat is similar to ITB. Not as difficult though.

Sunsofold,

For some reason I read Tactical Breach Wizards and thought of Sexy Battle Wizards, and I just thought, that’s a cool recommendation but why here?

The term you’re looking for is “Extra Medium”.

Just for the story, FFTactics. That story twists so much it makes Cables envious.

zipzoopaboop,

Job system is fun too, just unfortunate the later Heroes stomp over created characters

And the music is incredible

Cityshrimp,

That’s fine. Created characters are strong enough to beat the game with. I only played through it 2 times, but my second run I used as few named chars as possible. I created my team based on Seiken Densetsu 3 characters.

As a kid I was like ‘oh sure Rock Tunnel dark af let’s fkn go to Lavender’ but now I’m like ‘Rock Tunnel? That’s a lazy name’. Also Dark Cave in gen 2. No points for creativity.

Commandos was super cool. But I suppose it is too difficult by modern standards. Not a RPG though…

codexarcanum,

Commandos to me is the start of a different lineage of real-time tactical stealth games, which goes on to include Desperados, Shadow Tactics, and Shadow Gambit (yes, most of those were made by the same team).

Outside of the OGRE-alikes (FO Tactics, FF Tactics, Disgea, and so on) some other options for tactical games that are a little different:

  • Nexus: The Jupiter Incident - sort of a 4X game mixed with tactics, or like Homeworld with a lot fewer units
  • Myth: The Fallen Lords (and sequels) - classic pre-Halo Bungie titles that mix RPG and strategy. Somewhat defining for the RTS genre too.
  • UFO: Aftershock and sequels - a series that tried to revive XCom before Firaxis rebooted it. Not as good, but pretty interesting and fun, a little easier than old school xcom but not as polished as the newer ones.
  • Cannon Fodder - a UK classic, very arcadey but very fun and lighter than all these other “serious” games
Lembot_0003,

Yeah, I remember Cannon Fodder. It was rather difficult as I remember. Nice game… Do we have a remake?

tal,

It has that iconic theme music:

Dear lord you don’t see that often. I mean, it’s no surprise and it’s definitely deserved as the game is a hot pile of garbage but even then. They didn’t buy off a single reviewer?

I finally bought a blasting new computer to play Horizon Forbidden West! It’s so beautiful. Haven’t even gotten through the tutorial yet and it’s surpassed Zero Dawn already in terms of environment.

anyone else enjoying watching your favorite streamers play this absolute steamer of a game? i hate how much i savor the rare release of a high-budget, overhyped flop.

Edit: Do you ever think about buying games like this, just to say thank you to the dev for giving you hours of hilarious streams? Like obviously support the streamer first if you can only afford to support one of them, but at a certain discount, the price feels like fair compensation for all that unintended entertainment.

mohab,

I watched the highlights of dunkey's stream the other day and laughed out loud a number of times, TBF.

theangriestbird,

that stream killed me, dude knows how to make hilarious hay out of any shit pile

AROOOOO

ICastFist, do games w A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

To me it was the 2014 Thief. I never had any proper experience with the previous games of the series, only tried Thief 3 back when my PC could barely run it, so the low fps made me give up. My short time with new Thief wasn’t bad, though I didn’t finish the game as it was on my xbox1 and I never really sat down to play anything to completion on it. Online it’s all “Thief is shit, it’s a shit game” etc. Maybe I didn’t get to the shit part, I completed maybe 4 missions?, but while it wasn’t amazing, it felt like a decent stealth game and had me more interested in continuing than Styx Master of Shadows

I’ve been getting better about it. Did New Vegas recently (I was told my egg would crack playing it but it didn’t. Can’t even get a refund now. Sadge.), playing Fallout 4 now. At my current rate I should have a clear backlog in… NaN

You didn’t like the game ?

Stern,
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

It was fine, I’m just meme’ing about how so many trans folks are all about New Vegas.

BuboScandiacus,
@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Oh, ok

Do you have any idea why ? I don’t think that the game even includes trans people. There’s maybe this one bi dude at the atomic wrangler ?

Stern,
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

Had gay folks (Including Arcade and Veronica) that weren’t campy stereotypes, and not just the one or two companions, but a fair amount of other folks around the wasteland. You could be mechanically bisexual (which gives you bonus damage against both genders lol.) and it probably helps that you can kill oppressors (The Legion) as well. No one explicitly trans though, but the vibes are right.

@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Oh, how could I forget Veronica ! (Never played with Arcade)

Thanks for the explenation !

Well at least you didn’t give your money to gamepass.

Nothing wrong with buying too much art, just don’t piss all your money away to corporations charging artists rent instead of giving the money to the artists.

Fiivemacs,

But they told me it would trigger my sense of accomplishments.

supersquirrel,

You gave a lot of money to artists, with such a generous spirit that truth be told you weren’t actually ever necessarily planning to experience the art because you already own a ton of awesome art, that is winning my friend.

pinball_wizard,

I love this. It’s beautiful. Thank you.

Mechwarrior online.

Free, online “shooter”, good community, runs on linux, gameplay is dated and doesnt get tons of dev support anymore but its still how I kill an evening once or twice a week.
