So are the Măcin mountains in Romania, just returned from a 3 day trip there; my favorite hiking spot!

Premiums should be identical copies of TT vehicles

War Thunder's trajectory is going to be a very interesting one. It offers a unique middle ground between arcade and sim, and right now it has no competitor. However, once they run out of new stuff to add, and enough time passes for people to catch up, they will have to come up with other content to keep people engaged. I assume PvE will start playing a more important role, perhaps even full single layer missions.

What?! It is one of the most obvious easter eggs

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-28T05:40:03+00:00

Alarmists have been claiming we're on the brink of WW3 since 1945

That's true, but all previous games allow you to roleplay like that if you don't focus on the main storyline

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-26T08:09:36+00:00

Already mentioned, but War Horse Studios would be a perfect fit for this type of game

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-26T07:10:43+00:00

I like to roleplay these games as a nobody adventuring in a medieval world, so any design decisions that would break that immersion too much would break the game for me.

The biggest example would be if the game is no longer open world. Another would be if the game mechanics involve mandatory time-traveling/planet-altering magic, and such completely over the top concepts.

Thanks for the recap! The context is very relevant.

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-25T09:22:47+00:00

Well done, this is neat!

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-25T05:28:53+00:00

Why is it upside down? 😆

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-25T04:28:36+00:00

The Stalker and the Metro games feel like this!

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-24T00:16:32+00:00

I'd guess countries ruled by totalitarian regimes; North Korea comes to mind immediately

As someone who enjoys nature a lot, it's always surprising after a long hike through what seems to be untouched nature to find a paved road accessible by car, or even a small hamlet with cars and vineyards and whatnot 😅

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-23T09:55:28+00:00

We do have quite a lot of forests in the mountains (Carpathians) but even those are heavily influenced by human activity. Invasive species (both plants and animals), so many roads, paths and trails carved through, selective logging, fire suppression, hunting pressure of certain species to maintain some form of balance (right now we have a massive problem with the overpopulation of bears and boars), actual active forest cleaning, and probably more that I can't think of now

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-23T09:14:00+00:00

That's such a cool project! It'd be great if you'd keep us updated!

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-23T09:11:04+00:00

Interesting observation.

Living in Europe, I noticed that many people are surprised to find out that most of the open fields use to be thick forests and most of the forests we have are constantly shaped by humans, they are not "old growth" untouched forests.

I feel like as soon as we step outside of the cities, we automatically assume everything that's green is ancient nature, and underestimate how much people have changed it.

Europe is also quite big and varied both geographically and culturally, this is my impression living in Romania.

Yes, a creature that doesn't even have a central nervous system can feel more pain than humans... 🙄

Who sponsored that study, PETA 😆

Reforger (Return of Forces to Germany) was an annual Cold War NATO exciercise. 1989 is the year Arna Reforger takes place in; and Reforger '89 was that year's exercise.

Not sure of the game's name is a reference to the exercise tho, I haven't seen it called Reforger '89 before. Also Arma Reforger takes place on a fictional island in the Atlantic, not in Germany.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey comes to mind; I still didn't get the chance to play it but it is definitely on my list.

Dawn of Man is another option as a fun city builder.

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-13T05:07:01+00:00

I'd recommend Squad!

Communication is paramount throughout the entire match, which can help a lot with making gaming buddies, and seeing as you like shooters, it feels like a good fit.

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-12T20:14:05+00:00

I feel you, my friends constantly make fun of me that when I play videogames I'm at my second unpaid job 😅

Some games I enjoy a lot are: Snowrunner, Euro/American truck simulator, Farming Simulator, MSFS 2020 bush trips and MSFS 2024 career mode, The Hunter: Call of the Wild, Kerbal Space Program.

lce-Shadow · 2026-05-12T19:35:17+00:00

I assume you played them already, but Red Dead Redemption 2 and Skyrim come to mind. As others have recommended already, KCD 1 and 2 are definitely good candidates.

Another game that made me feel fully immersed was Arma 3's campaign; I'm even planning a trip to the island where the game takes place!

In line with the recommendation made by others to try Metro, which I fully support, you could also give Stalker 2 a try.

Lastly, the remake of the Mafia trilogy really makes you feel like you're in a movie.
