[HELP] Request a Game/Suggest a Game!

[Tyron]

Check out the xbox game pass for pc (I think it is at 1$ at the moment because of the quarantine) it has some really solid games. Some among them I really liked are ori and the blind forest and ori and the will of the wisps, The Outer Worlds and A plague tale: innocence, but there are A LOT more games.

It's almost like we have a sticky for this exact thing...

Doom Eternal is easily one of the best games in the last 5 years.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts?

I have watched some videos about the new Doom game. Would you recommend I go straight into Doom Eternal or play a previous title first, such as Doom 2016? Are the stories connected or no?

They are connected, but Eternal has enough exposition for you to get a gist of what happened in the first. While Doom 2016 is a fantastic game and I highly recommend playing it, in a case of one or the other I'd just take Eternal.

I do have The Witcher 3 on steam, but haven't played more than 5min of it tbh. I played Jedi fallen order and LOVED it! I have never played any of the uncharted games, would you recommend starting at a particular one first or does it matter? God of War is a PS4 exclusive as well right?

The Uncharted games are connected, so if you want to follow the overarching story and understand character connections, probably best to play them in order. That said, you are not missing a ton since each games actual story is self contained. Honestly, 2 is still probably the best of the bunch so maybe just start there. You can pick up the first three games in a collection on PS4 for $20. Unchared 4 you can get for $10 and I have seen on sale for as low as $5. That's one of the things about those Sony games, they have that Greatest Hits thing and the PS4 exclusives, because they are mostly used to sell consoles, get discounted pretty often. I believe all of the games I listed that are PS4 exclusives are $20 or less.

And yep, God of War is also a PS4 exclusive.

I totally forgot Octopath Traveler is on PC. Still $60 though.

they are diametrically opposite games at least from my experience (which in case of final fantasy is admittedly limited)

final fantasy had this sort of slow and deliberate feel to it with extensive cutscenes, and generally brighter feel. combat is slow. story is more linear. I mean.. technically ESO story works best if done linearly too, but unlike final fantasy - you don't have to.

ESO is very much open world. there is plenty of story, small side quests and larger continuous arcs. but the game itself is structured in a way that allows you to pick and chose what you want to do and you are not really restricted, or penalized by doing that. combat is extremely fast paced and because of the way its structured - skill gap is very VERY large. no idea how housing works in FF, in ESO - its a time and gold sink. its FUN (for me anyways) and its time consuming and involves a LOT. there area LOT of furnishings that are locked behind various in game achievements. there are also a lot of furnishings that are crafted. costuming and crafting is practically its own game. there is a LOT to collect. the way you make outfits in ESO is 2 fold. you can either use pre-made costumes and chose dyes for them (need to be subscribed for that) or you can create your own outfits with various crafting motifs/styles you own and then dye each individual piece. its time consuming AND expensive, but the more you invest into it, the more you get out of it. you are given basic set of dyes, but if you want better, more vivid dyes and just general better selection - those are all tied to variety of achievements from exploration, questing, dungeons, trials, pvp.

I would NOT recommend playing ESO on ps4, personaly. there are a lot of performance complaints and if i'm completely honest? this game is like wow in one respect. it was design with addon use in mind. consoles do not get addons. as far as I know - final fantasy doesn't have this particular quirk.

but overall - the main consideration is. do you like slow? or do you like fast? finally fantasy is very deliberate and very slow. ESO is pretty fast paced, except for things that have wait times (like crafting research and leveling your mount speed etc), but even then, advancing towards your next waiting period takes a few moments, and than its back to fast paced combat, fast paced travel, etc.

I'd sort of agree and disagree with the XIV combat assessment. I don't think any job has the speed under the most extreme circumstances as the wrath frost spec with all the haste (can't remember if it was 2h or dual wield); that being said, I never feel any of the classes felt as slow as a wow melee class when you are feeling starved of your resource (rage or energy, such as a warrior or kitty can at times during leveling).

To actually progress, the story path is pretty much on rails, but it is a pretty damn good story, and to be clear, the earlier stuff is grindy but after shadow bringers, the early parts of the story make more sense and I wished I had paid more attention

XIV looks pretty damn good, some zones will blow you away, especially at night. BTW, it has a REAL night and day cycle, even the fish you catch are related to time of day. Professions are fully fleshed out jobs, gathering isn't just clicking on a node, there is a whole minigame system, many different items can be gathered from a node, and you have multiple gather attempts as an example, crafting is even more involved. The strongest job for me is White Mage (WHM), a healer. I actually can't have fun healing on WoW any longer because I love the WHM so damn much. My favorite healer out of all the MMOs I've played, which includes all the wow classes, and sith inquisitor in the first couple years of SWtOR.

What I couldn't find for me, is a damage class I could really connect with. You can do EVERY job (class) in the game on a single character, and there are these deep dungeons where you can basically test the job out and most of its core abilities at that jobs beginning level (jobs start at 15 iirc, with a base class that begins at 1). I played Samurai in the previous xpac for some time, I've tried Summoner because people tried to tell themselves it was anything like an affliction warlock, which it isn't imo. Just nothing other than WHM really connected with me (damn I'm starting to want to play again, been on break for some time). The new Gunbreaker tank was ok, need to give bard another try I suppose. So, when I have an itch to play melee or tank, I want my Demon Hunter or I will get on Tera and play Reaper. When I want to play ranged, I want my Affliction Warlock, my first toon over a decade ago (feelsoldman). And if I just want to do a bit of everything, I have a couple druids that can get the job done for however I feel in the moment.

ESO? meh. I had such high hopes. I was in an early beta and sort of liked it. Then I got in another beta period closer to release and I did not care for it too much. I wanted to like it, but something just didn't feel right for me personally. Same thing happened when I tried to go back to SWtOR after several years; the eternal empire or whatever. What I didn't like is the homogenized story, losing all your grunts you earned through vanilla and built up relationships with ... even romantic relationships ... they are just gone and I have no idea if you got them back because I couldn't stick with the game long enough to get that far. Similar also happened with Rift, which I blame their deal with that TV show and game (defiance was it?) tanking their funds and stretching their team too thin.

Tera, FFXIV, and WoW are three I can go back to. The worst part about tera for me was how grindy some classes felt to me at launch around the 20s or so, sorcerer I believe was my first class. FFXIV the story can be a chore if you just want to hit end game (you can buy a boost for that like WoW has that will get you mostly there, think 110 boost now or 50 boost at shadowlands launch. WoW has its own drawbacks as well as most of us on this site should know.

Best luck to people finding the right fit(s) for them!

So, I sold my 1080Ti before it loses most of its value once new AMD and Nvidia cards hit the market. I decided to wait for 3080Ti, which should be here in 6-10 months, no longer than 12 months.
Which leaves me with Intel 630 GPU for some time. Some monster that is.

Anyway, suggestions?

Bonus challenge:
Find me a VR game that works fine on Intel 630

So me and a bunch of my friends are looking for an online game in a persistent world where everyone can play in their own time and we can also come and play together when we want. We mostly enjoy base building games, but open to different styles. Things we've played in the past:

• Conan Exiles
• Rust
• Ark
• Minecraft

What are your suggestions? Keep in mind that the world needs to be persistent. We don't mind renting our own server either. Thank you!

[regnfrakken]

You should look into «7 days to die».
Had alot of fun with it!

Try looking at Eco.

Voxel based minecraft-esque game where you have to advance technologically but have to watch out for the ecosystem, resource depletion etc. while doing so.

No thanks, I don't play crap that has to be advertised to get clicks.

I am looking for a really great free idle rpg for my phone. I have been playing Idle Heroes but there's so much gating between how much you can progress through everything and I don't like that. Does anyone know of any that don't have that kind of gating behind them?

[bbr]

Every single one has gating.
It's a flaw in the genre.

But,. there's a sticky for game suggestions you could scroll through.

[Kuja]

I loved majesty. Not sure if it's still around, though! It's idle version was fun if you like the real game (Where you don't have an avatar, but hire heroes to try to make them do bounties for you). I stopped playing it for about a year, and when I came back, I had so many points that I could play it as much as I please \o/ It was a great feeling.

The time gating has been why I haven't played any in a while. One would think they found alternatives to having that as a requirement by now.

[Gallahadd]

Been playing AFK Arena for a while now. Lilith are pretty generous, so even F2P you can progress pretty damn easily.

[Ashleyxoxo]

I hate leveling and don't care much about story, but I'm looking for exciting gameplay (dungeons and rais) and beautiful cosmetics. Which MMO would you recommend I play?
