I've got a style of gameplay that I love where you are in a mech but can get out of it during gameplay. Lost Planet, Titanfall, even power armor like in Fallout, but it's obviously a kind of rare mechanic.

Are there any decent, or not really decent games with that kind of gameplay you'd recommend? Or just know about.

Back in the day and even nowadays, people had a problem with that you were playing as unsupervised and unrelgulated elite soldiers that didn't have to answer to anybody and that you were just shooting up innocent people.

And maybe it's because I'm a European, but I never understood why anybody would think that, because nothing in the game supports that idea. First of all, we can't kill any civilians, the game simply doesn't allow it.

And secondly, any enemy you see is inherently hostile. It doesn't matter if it are the Cleaners, the LMB, the Rikers, Hyenas, Outcasts, True Sons or local thugs, they all shoot at you without any provocation. There is no instance in the game were you can walk past them peacefully without getting attacked.

And it's also not a case of: "Oh, these guys are just missunderstood". No, we actively see thouse groups planting bombs, taking hostages, setting stuff on fire, killing unarmed civilians, laying ambushes and doing all kind of illegal stuff. Especially the Rikers do all kind of fucked up stuff to the remaining police force in the first game.

So no, I don't buy the notion that the Division agents are the bad guys and massacring civilians without repercussion, because we actually do improve the situation for the general population in both games, while everyone else just loots, murders and tortures everyone they see.

I hate it when I get this. I want to play something but nothing is grabbing my attention!

Edit: Going to add some context. I touch grass, I have a wife, a child a full time job. I go to the gym and don’t game all day. So, when I finally get to sit and play in the last week, I can’t get into anything

Currently gathering a large list of glitches from a bunch of different games, both iconic and obscure for a project. Figured this would be a good place to get a large number of opinions and glitches from.

But yeah big game breaking or small funny ones any are welcome to the list.

I was playing Prince Of Persia Warrior Within some time ago and while it's more of an action-adventure game, the Dahaka chases change it into a survival horror really quick lol......what other games that are "non-horror" do this?

I am just getting around to playing the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time. I want to experience the story and dialogue which are highly regarded. Should I bother with Mass Effect 1? It looks so old (Legendary edition). Is the story worth experiencing or its meh?

Diablo 4: I get bored easily of long games. Even my favourite game of all time Elden Ring I found myself bored at times after 100+ hours. I want to experience this story, can I just play the campaign and skip the side stuff or will I be under leveled?

For me, it has to be the Golden Chocobo in Final Fantasy VII. Once you got it, the whole game opened up.

I recently built my own Gaming Pc after having had Playstation’s for years and had one question. I have now gotten used to and loved owning my games physically and figuratively, with all the quirks and bonuses of actually having the manual for games and a cover pluss the fact that even if the game servers dies i can still put the game in the console and play. my question is if there is some type of Pc equivalent to feeling ownership like owning a game physically that is also practical as i know Pc-game discs arent really the norm anymore.

While busy with my probably 7th or 8th playthrough of Phantom pain, probably higher than that, It got me thinking of how epic it was when i first played it, First ever game i've ever Pre-Ordered, First & last game & took a day off to play it

Another amazing game is Ace Combat 7, that game has even more playthroughs & i've even done some personal challenges, like my last one was where i played the game through with my country's official aircraft, Gripen.

In this age, its rare to find games that warrants multiple playthroughs, most these days are one playthrough and we move onto the next, Back in PS2, one game that got a shit load of playthroughs to the point i had to buy multiple copies of it, was Mercenaries: Playground Of Destruction.

I really wish games was as good as MGS V & AC7. MGS V in my books needs a Remaster & naturally, Chapter 2 but we know it will never happen

Good week everybody!

As the title suggests, I'm not very city builder-savvy, but I've been having an itch lately to play one.

The only colony sim/city builder games that I've ever played were Oxygen not Included, which I played only for 30 hours through the years of having it and basically never got really into it, exactly because of its overly complex nature.

The other one is Against the Storm which I actually played for like 70hrs in the span of two weeks and I loved it (nowhere near finishing the tech tree really) but to be honest it didn't scratch the itch for an actual city builder, the roguelike element is to blame here, although very enjoyable in it's own way. I loved the aesthetic and the ambience/music etc. It's also really hard to get back into after dropping because you'd have to scale it back in difficulty settings and it's kinda demoralising?! I dunno.

So basically what I want from the game is for it to be easy enough to understand in order to have fun without spending 100hours in just to get the jist of it. I want it to have either medieval realistic graphics/settings, or cute graphics, I think I don't care for space/futuristic settings or even present day settings as I find those bring me a "down" mood, especially the latter.. I also don't care about the warfare aspect of the games, I actually kind don't wanna have it because I believe it comes hand it hand with the game being very complex.

I think I've boiled it down to these options but I'm having trouble deciding really:

• The wandering village: The cute aesthetic is really winning me here and I think it's a very strong contender, it's still in EA but I think it's pretty much finished.
• Timberborn: Now this one's also cute, I believe it to be a bit more complex so I'm not sure.
• Farthest Frontier: This one is probably the hardest/most complex of the bunch, while also being the most traditional city builder, it's also the most expensive right now and it's not on sale.
• Banished: The fact that it is the oldest one throws me off but It's very traditional and it's like the ancestor of FF, graphics are not that bad so I guess it's okay, it's dirt-cheap and I hear it is not very complex so maybe it could be a good way to ease myself into these games if I'm really interested?!
• Kingdoms and Castles: Very cute graphics, medieval setting, I think it may even be the easiest of the bunch so I'm afraid of it being too shallow and getting bored fast?!
• Settlement Survival: I don't know much about it except that the aesthetic is on the cute side and that it is a decent game.

I would love to have you guys tell me what you think is the best of these choices for me. I'm really having trouble deciding here. I don't wanna buy one of these games and end up playing 5 hours and dropping it because of it's overwhelming complexity, but I also would dislike to get only 20-30 hours out of it.

If I don't answer all the comments, I would like to thank anyone who takes the time to reply to me :D

Personally I’d go with GTA Vice City & GTA Liberty City Stories

Sonny really didn’t have much of a presence in Vice City, and although he did call and threaten Tommy a few times, he only started acting towards the end of the game.

On the other hand, I really loved Lance, mainly because his betrayal was unexpected and even when he betrayed, Tommy asked Lance whether he set both of them up, to which Lance replies that he only set Tommy up. This shows how much Tommy loved Lance, but because of Lance’s incompetence and impatience, he couldn’t strive to be a leader like Tommy

Similarly in Liberty City Stories, I liked the rivalry between Toni Cipriani and Vincenzo. The main antagonist of LCS is really forgettable (appears in only two missions) whereas Vinnie had much more of an effect than that.

Hey everyone!

I haven’t played the latest racing games, so I’m curious to hear about any new ones worth trying.

I’m looking for a game that combines realistic driving physics with car damage - something with satisfying crash mechanics or even a demolition derby mode would be amazing.

Any suggestions for games that balance realism with good crash effects?

Also, if you have any recommendations for racing wheels that work well with it, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks for any tips or recommendations!

Edit: I’m a PC enjoyer

Hello There! I was wondering, how many people from Switzerland there are here and if you know if there is a spot where you can meet and connect with other Gamers. I have discovered the Erupt Lounge in Bern HB and was wondering if anyone has been there before and could tell me what it is like there. Apparently you can Eat, play online and Tabletop games as well. Thank you for your Time

Not sure where to post this. It just pisses me off, I hate holding down the analog stick.

I am getting back into gaming but I noticed all the games that I am playing people aren't talking or do not have mics. I am looking for an FPS game where there is a community and people talk and communicate to each other. I really miss those days like in the early 2010s were everyone had a microphone and talking, screaming, and trash-talking.

I haven't played Oblivion since 2009, on PC. I was looking to play it again, but I remembered a bizarre glitch from way back when.

I encountered the glitch twice. I gave a beggar (the term for homeless people in the game) a gold coin for charity. The beggar responded with a "Thank you, kind lady!" Then I was locked in the conversation and could not escape, only able to give another coin, followed by them repeating the phrase again. One coin at a time, both beggars took all my gold. 😑

Of course I reloaded the game both times. So... was this ever fixed for PC? Does it still pop up now and then?
