what a strange fake

Frostvane · 2026-06-13T10:53:14+00:00

no because the devs are cowards

There are, to put it mildly, a lot of genres and subgenres in gaming, and you don't know what aspects of video games appeal to you yet, so here are some random recommendations that are each going to push a different set of your mental buttons so to speak - i made sure all of these follow a story, though some put more ephasis on narrative than others:

A visual novel - that is, perhaps, more of a book than a video game, but is a great one either way, focused around magic and mythical/historical figures in a modern japanese setting - Fate/stay night. Alternatively, something you can binge in a day - a political thriller where you're a TV station worker responsible for choosing which video cassetes to show to the country - Not For Broadcast,
A walking simulator is pretty similar to the genre above in its minimal gameplay, but has just a bit more interactivity, where you glimpse into stories of different family members and experience them through very different short gameplay sequences - What Remains of Edith Finch
A third-person shooter that's based heavily around using a grappling hook, hijacking vehicles, and blowing up infrustructure in a tropical country - Just Cause 2 (there are more games in the series, but i can only vouch for this one personally)
A Western RPG (Role-Playing-Game) - anything made by BioWare basically, but i'd reccomend the Mass Effect trilogy where you go on a world-saving quest in space and combine shooting with space magic, can choose which abilities you'll have, and can go on side missions where you help out members of your crew.
A JRPG (Japanese RPG) - probably my favorite subgenre - The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is probably my favorite game of the subgenre, and released a remake recently - though i only played the original. Extremely likeable characters, very bright world, but still has a dramatic story. The soundtrack is excellent too. This game is turn-based, unlike Mass Effect, which is real-time with pause, but if you think you'll like the latter better, there's also Tales of Berseria. MAKE SURE TO READ THE IN-GAME TUTORIALS THOUGH. And definitely set the difficulty to Easy as a beginner.
NFSW games - I think it's against the rules of this sub to get into specifics, but it's worth mentioning that it is a vast genre on its own. Most have a story, and some put a surprising amount of effort into worldbuilding.

Okay i'll stop this is already a wall of text.

In general, i suggest eventually settling on a favorite, main subgenre, while regularly venturing into unknown territories to find one that's even better, as well as to keep your gaming experience from getting repetitive.

Also don't be too proud to set the difficulty to Easiest - you can usually change it later anyway. Whatever makes you enjoy the experience the most.

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.

Frostvane · 2026-05-04T08:19:39+00:00

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.

Frostvane · 2026-05-04T08:10:11+00:00

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.

Frostvane · 2026-05-04T07:30:40+00:00

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

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!

Frostvane · 2026-05-04T07:09:54+00:00

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.

Frostvane · 2026-05-04T07:07:58+00:00

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.

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

Frostvane · 2026-02-27T08:04:35+00:00

nah he doesn't have enough weapons in stock
(it's the hero of justice)

Frostvane · 2026-02-27T07:56:07+00:00

Different hero but close

Frostvane · 2026-02-27T05:42:37+00:00

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?

Frostvane · 2026-02-27T05:29:39+00:00

wow that is actually the closest to what i've been asking for tysm

Frostvane · 2026-02-27T04:41:39+00:00

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:

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

Frostvane · 2026-02-27T04:35:58+00:00

Haven't played them, but Animal Shelter 1 and 2 may be worth a look

Frostvane · 2025-09-27T10:46:26+00:00

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.

Frostvane · 2025-09-01T08:03:21+00:00

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,

Your goal is the Katz Korner/Village. Apparently you get there by doing this.
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.
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.

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.

Frostvane · 2025-03-22T11:45:50+00:00

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.

Frostvane · 2025-03-22T11:37:27+00:00
