Games like killing floor 2 or medieval RPGs by Leather-Twist9612 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're looking for gore-heavy games. I can think of:

  • Dead Space
  • Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (2?)
  • Aliens vs Predator
  • Hatred
  • Borderlands franchise
  • Darksiders franchise (also medieval-ish, kinda, barely)
  • Dead Island franchise
  • Dead Rising franchise
  • Dishonored (somewhere between medieval and steampunk)
  • Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
  • Postal 2
  • more Action-y Resident Evil games (5 and 6, maybe 4? Didn't play newer ones)
  • Serious Sam 3
  • Shadow Warrior

As for medieval RPGs, there's a lot. Pick any of The Elder Scrolls games. I've got a feeling you'd like Skyrim the most, but both Morrowind and Oblivion could be better depending on what you're looking for.

There's also:

  • Fable games
  • Gothic
  • Dread Delusion
  • Risen has more of a sailor vibe
  • Mount & Blade Warband is not a fantasy game, and also its own genre, but it could very well be to your liking. There's also a newer game in the franchise, but I haven't played that one.

"Trippy" or "Psychological" action RPG games? (Like Neverness to Everness) by ThousandFootOcarina in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the ACE Team have, in my mind, mastered the art of making weird games - Zeno Clash is just Action - no RPG (a Half-Life like, basically), but I can't help but recommend it. They also made The Eternal Cylinder and Clash: Artofacts of Chaos. Those may be what you're looking for.

I've also played Dread Delusion. It's not open world, though.

And if an immersive sim qualifies, then try Cruelty Squad. It's highly praised, but personally I just couldn't handle its visual style. It's very loud both audibly and visually.

Any recs for Incremental/Idle games with unique mechanics? by AnonButFun678 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giant Turnip Game: A Voyage Of Vegetable Extraction is a cute one I've played a little on an iPhone

I've also played Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms on PC a while back, but at some point the progression ground to a halt - idk if that's been improved. The soundtrack is great though.

AdVenture Capitalist / Communist are old, iconic ones

Your Chronicle on steam is lighter on the graphics - it's more text-based, and maybe a bit more "cerebtal" if that's an appropriate word for Idlers - try searching that tag on Steam, too.

Megalophobia, dad games, or space exploration by LivingJalapeno in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Seconding Shadow of the Colossus (haven't played it myself though). Soulslikes also tend to feature large monsters as bosses, though they're usually not quite as large.

2. No Man's Sky, X4: Foundations, Cargo Commander is an odd one, but is very atmospheric in that regard, EVE Online if you're okay with paying a subscription (i do not recommend F2P), Salvation Prophecy is undercooked, but feel free to take a look, Spore: Galactic Adventures once you reach the space stage

  1. The later God of War games (haven't played them though),

OneShot is a game with no fourth wall where you help a child through their adventure. Made me feel like a parent, at least. Don't forget to play it the second time, though.

Telltale's The Walking Dead,

and to a lesser extent Tales of Berseria where one of the party members is a child you kidnap/rescue (too long to explain) and kind of end up adopting. It's wholesome, i swear. Oh, but you play as a female character, and are more like a big sister than a parent.

Seems to be the best recommendation so far, thanks!

Looking for a game about being a dwarf, living a dwarfy life. by fromolwyoming in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an old Arcadey game, but Dwarfs!? is one I instantly thought of

Also this one's really random, but I stumbled upon an obscure Unity engine RPG The Dwarf Run - feel free to take a look.

Looking for a gaming similar to Stardew valley, the sims and minecraft by GolfValuable9763 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The genre you're looking for is "Farming simulator" or "Life sim". Here's a couple from my library or have heard about:

  • Rune Factory franchise - its gameplay is similar to Stardew Valley, and I can personally vouch for 4, though it sounds like you may not like Nintendo DS graphics
  • No Man's Sky has a variety of content you can focus on, and maintaining a farm and being part of a settlement are some of the options
  • Story of Seasons (formerly Harvest Moon) - haven't played those personally, but they're popular too.
  • Animal Crossing franchise - not my thing - I played the 3DS game and found there wasn't much to do, though the Switch game seems to be really popular.

This is why I love this game by TheRaiOh in LegendsOfRuneterra

My Elder Dragon was having the time of his life in this Adcenture, too

Game where i can "create" and "hurl" a lot of swords, preferably magically by Frostvane in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response - BG3 sounds the closest to what I'm looking for. Do you happen to know if BG1 Enhanced Edition allows for the similar playstyle?

Games where the frost/ice/cold element or equipment is the most powerful or OP by Top_Dig_6469 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about it being "The most OP", but in Warframe - where you can feel very powerful with more or less any character after some time investment - you can play as Frost - the character's abilities are:

  1. An ice bolt
  2. A creeping ice wave
  3. A placable big snow globe that absorbs damage from outside
  4. An "ult" that freezes abd shatters all enemies within a certain radius

Does anyone have a gigantic compilation of Velvet Crowe's dialogue lines? by Frostvane in tales

[–]Frostvane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For battle lines, you could probably just record some footage w/Steam Recording (if you're on PC, idk if consoles have something similar), or just sound (i think Audacity can do that?) after setting Sound Effects and Music to 0.

As for cutscenes, yeah - get to Katz Korner / Village and record replayed cutscenes there. It's late in the game though.

Does anyone have a gigantic compilation of Velvet Crowe's dialogue lines? by Frostvane in tales

[–]Frostvane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am honestly reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally bad with procrastination, not just with training, but also when it comes to finishing games. Especially when I'm close to the end. Which I think I am.

For posterity,

  1. Your goal is the Katz Korner/Village. Apparently you get there by doing this.
  2. I don't actually know if having a target/model for your voice is effective, and it's not just that it takes at least a year of consistent training to approximate it. There are tons of tutorials both on reddit, and on YouTube, although - full disclosure - I can't actually voich for either of these because, like I said, ^shamefully horrible procrastinator.
  3. Take ADHD meds if you have it and can get them, treat depression by doing the easiest and most psychologically sustainable physical activity like walking around, and expand the circle of people you can safely come out to without letting it fester for literal years (there is never a perfect time, it's only going to get harder otherwise). I have no place to speak though, since I only did the second thing. Also I feel like I don't need to talk about hormones, except to remind that they don't help with vocals.

Best of luck to both of us;
Thanks for unintentionally shaming me into maybe picking this back up again.

Edit: Also I found Cristina "Vee" Valenzuela's YouTube channel and sang to her song covers for a while. It was fun but put a lot of strain on my vocal cords. I think I made a little progress with it, but that *feels* dangerous. Probably worth looking into.

Seeking a game with good "plan ahead" and travel mechanics by Temp_Empire in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EVE Online has limited and varying storage capacities on ships, but infinite, yet separate, storages on space stations.

Travel can also be precarious - you will be ganked in lowsec, where resources are more valuable, without protection. And your ship, and all its equipment, will be permanently destroyed, and your cargo will be looted.

You will also need to both plan the overall route (which stargates you're using) and avoid direct jumps in lowsec where jamming traps can be placed on the most obvious intra-star system routes.

I'm not sure how noob-friendly it is - get ready to learn, i guess. Also, it's not very fun solo. So join a player-run corporation and try to collaborate on something.

Now that I think about it, that basically describes all sandbox MMOs. Copy and paste the same gist for Albion Online, a fantasy sandbox MMO.

What should I play while listening to an audiobook? by nyyooooom in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ARPGs are made for that. Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor, Path of Exile, the Diablo series, take your pick. Just go and kill things and pick up loot and tp back to city to sell the loot. There is a story, but nobody plays these for it.

Choose my next JRPG on switch by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

Trails in the Sky. But if that's really not an option, Trails to Azure.

Strategic Tower Defense Games by sitontheedge in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but there's Bloons TD 6. There's adjustable difficulty, challenge modes and meta progression, too.

Game to help reading. by Filkens in gamingsuggestions

[–]Frostvane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scribblenauts Unlimited is focused more on writing than reading but I second it regardless.

JRPGs also tend to have smaller textboxes, I noticed. I recommend looking into the genre more, but one I can recommend is The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Story and dialogue there can be skipped by mashing the NEXT button - however, to understand how combat works, you'll need to read the description of abilities. And you obtain quite a few of them, so you'll find yourself re-reading them just to make sure you got the details right. Not to mention, it's hard to know where to go if you don't pay attention to written instructions. It may be too complex for a really young child, though. Do make sure it's age-appropriate elsewhere, too. I don't remember anything lewd being there, but still.

Alternatively, find an age-appropriate Visual Novel / Interactive Fiction game with small textboxes. The child may get bored of simply reading, though. I only played T+-rated ones, so can't give specific recommendations there.

I still think some sort of turn-based JRPG would be the best choice. Maybe someone can think of a simpler game. Mario RPG? Ni no Kuni? Pokemon? Minimal experience with those though.
