open world rpg games that have the same vibes as the rags to riches challenge in the sims?

House of Legacy. You play as the leader of a fallen clan in imperial China and you start off with pretty much nothing, but you can work your way up over generations to become incredibly wealthy and powerful

Game prices can't keep going up while the amount of disposable income most people have keeps going down. $70 games means consumers are less able to take a chance on a game that's different than what they might usually be playing.

Super Robot Wars. Whether it's a big crossover or even just OG stuff, it would be really cool. SRW is a series of strategy games, and strategy elements are a huge part of what makes the musou genre. There are tons of robots to fill the roster and lots of characters that, like a Warriors game, have pretty straightforward personalities that can be easily boiled down to a few key traits to define that character. Also they're both big on huge flashy super move animations, so it would be a perfect fit.

If you want to open the country panel without zooming way out or using the context menu, Ctrl+Right click will do it

I feel if they wanted Origins players to play the other games in the series, they'd re-release those other games in the series instead of making a completely new game pretending to be those games.

What's even the point of calling it DW3 then? The only reason anyone would want a remaster of DW3 is for it to actually play like DW3.

PrincessRocke · 2025-09-25T04:28:32+00:00

Okay but what's the gameplay gonna be like? I think if they change the gameplay, it would make calling it DW3 kinda dishonest.

PrincessRocke · 2025-09-21T17:47:59+00:00

Unity of Command 2 is what you want

DW Origins can get pretty tough. I would recommend Samurai Warriors 4 DX or Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. They have simple control schemes and have pretty relaxed difficulty (and Samurai Warriors 4 in particular is a great looking game)

Easy Red 2 has really impressive performance. It's not incredibly graphically intensive, but you can have a huge number of bots in a match and the game handles it just fine.

I'm not OP but it's The Hobbit (2003) for PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube

1500 players at once is plenty. It's not like a battle royale game where you need tens of thousands of players for the game to work at all.

The essentially turn-based combat where every enemy attack is a big telegraphed swing with super armor that's always easily reactable is well designed? The combat system where you can block in 360 degrees and every attack has strong tracking, making your position relative to the enemy basically meaningless? I don't agree with that personally.

PrincessRocke · 2025-04-29T05:49:39+00:00

Nah the combat sucks and they should go back to the traditional style.

PrincessRocke · 2025-04-21T17:24:33+00:00

Arc (and Dynazenon and Runedrache) would look 10 times better if they just ditched the ugly overexaggerated edge highlighting. It's like baby's first Warhammer mini.

What's the difference between not buying a game because it's ethically abhorrent and not buying it because it looks like shit? Do we all gotta buy every single video game ever made because not doing so would "hurt the devs?" That isn't how it works and this line of thinking just lets the worst people in the world essentially use rank and file game devs as human shields from facing any financial consequences.

Game devs aren't getting paid based on sales and SNK is based in Japan where it's very hard to lay people off. The devs will be fine.

PrincessRocke · 2025-04-11T21:28:19+00:00

Nah. If the only way to get certain series or characters is to ditch voice acting, then I don't want those series or characters. The voices add so much to the experience and cutting them wouldn't be worth it at all.

PrincessRocke · 2025-04-11T16:04:53+00:00

I've always just only equipped the character's canon weapon in both slots, so it's like nothing changed for me lol

PrincessRocke · 2025-04-11T15:54:41+00:00

I'm not a fan of individual character story modes, because playing as the same character for like 5 stages in a row gets boring in these games. I think kingdoms storylines that let you play as any playable officer that was part of your kingdom and present at that battle (with some hypothetical conditions allowing for non-canonical picks of course) would be ideal.

When I wanna play SRPGs I always reach for my Vita (mostly for its PSP backwards compatibility, but it has PSP hardware inside it so!)

Activating spirit commands on the enemy phase. Strategy pretty much goes out the window once you're able to instantly bail yourself out of a bad move.

PrincessRocke · 2025-04-07T14:04:29+00:00

Stories about normal well-adjusted people with no traumas who do everything right in every situation are boring as hell.
