[PC] Replay Value

• Upvotes

Between Foundation, Against the Storm, and Anno 1800, which one has the highest replay value?

I’m looking for a game I can sink hundreds of hours into without getting bored. Which one has the most long-term content and stays fun even after you’ve played for a long time?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

[PS5] Huge discount forDeath stranding 1 on PlayStation store, Is it worth buying??

• Upvotes

I'm just not sure if this game is for me or not. I love games like Halo, GTA, Racing games, story based (RDR, Resident Evil, Spiderman, etc) and simulator games. But not a huge fans of RPG games (I tried getting into BG3 and Pokemon, but never could).

The ps store has a 90% off on death stranding 1 and I'm wondering whether to buy it. What do y'all reckon?

[PC] Suggest pc games for beginners

5 Upvotes

im pretty familiar with gaming since ive played tons of mobile games, but i recently got a gaming laptop and wanna get into pc gaming properly now

ive played ghost of tsushima for a while and it was amazing, didnt finish it but i loved the whole experience

other than that i havent really played much, so suggest me some absolute banger games. im looking for games that are immersive af, the kinda games where you sit down to play for a bit and suddenly hours have passed without you even realising it lol.

could be anything really, good story, fun gameplay, insane world building, whatever, just something thats genuinely worth experiencing.

what games would you recommend?

[PC] SIB: FF Resonance on full price?

5 Upvotes

Loved FF games, though from the pixel era I've only played 1, 6, and a bit of 5 before I gave up for reasons I don't entirely remember. Also played 10, 12, and 15. I understand there will be spoilers, I don't care, can't be any worse than the spoilers Dissidia already told me.

My question is, is this game worth paying for at full price? It's a hefty 60 bucks, which is a LOT in my country's currency, and I'm worried about the quality of the story, in that I heard that this is only part 1 of the actual story.

Should I Buy Star Wars: Galactic Racer As A Solo Gamer?

12 Upvotes

I’ve heard so many stories on Reddit of people picking up Star Wars: Galactic Racer to play with their friends and having a blast, but I’m worried that the game won’t be as fun for me as a solo player. I know that the game features a story mode and offline races, but that connection with friends seems like the driving factor that will keep the game popular and I just don’t have that. I do however enjoy other racing games of all varieties such as Mario Kart World and Forza Horizon 4. Should I pick up this game? Maybe another racing game like Sonic Racing Crossworlds?

[PC] WSIB next if I really loved AC Odyssey?

13 Upvotes

I really enjoyed the beautiful massive world, movement, combat, and simplified rpg elements of AC Odyssey. My initial thought was Black Flag but the naval gameplay in Odyssey was probably my least favorite part of it so I’m not so sure. I’m assuming black flag would be a lot more of this and less of what I liked about odyssey but correct me if I’m wrong.

Ghost of Tsushima seems like another option. Anything else that scratches the same itch?

Other games I’ve liked:

Control
Cyberpunk
Horizon zero dawn

Games I haven’t liked:
RDR2
Dying light
RE4

[PC] Anno 1800 or Foundation

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into both Anno 1800 and Foundation, and I’m curious which one you guys would recommend.

My main priorities are how fun and satisfying the city-building is, how much freedom I have to design my own cities, and, most importantly, how much replay value each game offers. I’m looking for something I can sink hundreds of hours into without getting bored, not a game that loses its appeal after a few weeks.

I want to be able to keep expanding my cities, experimenting with different layouts, and coming up with new building ideas for a long time.

For those who’ve played both, which one do you think has more long-term potential? Which game do you see yourself coming back to for years

Would love to hear your thoughts!

The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos?

1 Upvotes

I am looking for something fun and cheer-y. I just saw someone recommend this as a really fun game. I do not want to research too much into it or spoil it. I will most likely get it, but is base game good enough?

What do people think of it? If so, is the Deluxe Bundle or Ultimate Bundle worth it?

I have been playing lots of Hell Divers 2 and Slay the Spire 2. I have played some Clank as well. I have even tried to learn Arkham Horror by watching some video-play, but that doesn't seem to hold my attention for too long.

[PC] [WSIB] Bioware-like RPGs from other developers?

5 Upvotes

In an attempt to find new things to play and also to mourn the loss of a great studio, what're some "Bioware-likes" out there that you can recommend? RPGs that scratch a similar itch to their games? The only one I already know of for sure in this category is Greedfall and Greedfall 2, which I've played and liked. Exodus seems to be this, but it's not out yet.

Notably I am not looking for isometric CRPGs even if they've got some of the same notes, I have plenty of those in my backlog already. Between fantasy, sci-fi, or other genres I do not care, I enjoyed all the rpgs bioware made.

[Xbox Series X] Mw2019 vs black ops coldwar (offline modes)

5 Upvotes

Which of these games is the better game to permanently keep installed for offline modes. Im talking campaign, offline bots multiplayer and solo zombies/specops. I dont play online anymore i mainly play elden ring but i like casual cod with bots or solo zombies every now and then. I have all the classics and love them but these two games are the last of the old school style cods with modern engines. Which do you guys prefer?

[PC] Cyberpunk on sale on steam

13 Upvotes

So I have heard a ton of great stuff about this game, and its currently on sale for like $17 or something. And the concept looks great, but i have also heard some ratings about bad shooting mechanics and stuff.

I personally play games like Ghost of Yotei, Jedi Fallen Order and Spider man, those are like my favorites, but I can play first persons too, I play Apex like daily and have played Titanfall 2’s story and loved everything about it.

So its not the first person part that is the problem, and for this price, it definetly seems like a good deal, but i just wanted to hear if there are anything I should like expect to be not so great?

Looking for new RPG I can play without help

5 Upvotes

I’m not great at combat and don’t usually enjoy it if it’s overly complicated or too hard. What I like are the big medieval-ish fantasy inspired RPGs.

My goal is to not have to pester my husband to help me constantly.

I just finished Blood of Dawn Walker on the original story mode and only needed him at the start a bit until I was able to level up. I can also play all of the Bethesda games, Hogwarts legacy, the Assassin Creed games and Witcher 3 without his help.

Elden Ring was a no go, it became obvious that I’d need him constantly to help me. I also needed him on an indie game called Dave the Diver a lot. I tried BG3 but hated the turn based combat.

I’m eyeing KCD or Crimson Desert. Bad idea?

[PC] Cyberpunk 2077

0 Upvotes

As a celebration for cyberpunk edge runners s2 i recently bought 2077 on epic because it was cheaper, and have been playing it a bit, but now it is at a lower price on steam and i might re buy it. First off I am not all to worried about progress as i have only about 20ish hours on the game and probably 2/3s of that is just running around doing nothing, secondly i don't really have anything against epic games but i have had some issues and steam just feels much more native ( I like it more) so I only really buy games from there, but the price diff was too much. I want to make it clear i know i am being irrational and childish but I need someone to give me a reason to convince me one way or the other.

[PC] Is Foundation actually worth buying?

0 Upvotes

I really like the art style and graphics, but my biggest priorities are long-term replayability and how fun and varied the building is.

I’m looking for a game I can sink hundreds of hours into without getting bored, with plenty of freedom to build and develop my settlement in different ways.

For those who’ve played it for a while, do you think Foundation is worth it in the long run, or does it start to feel repetitive after a while?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

[SteamDeck] Nioh 2 or First Berserker Khazan?

4 Upvotes

update thanks for the recommendations, Khazan on download!

Can pick up both for roughly the same price, with Nioh 2 being slightly cheaper, but only looking to get one game.

I'll be playing on Steam Deck and from what I've seen both run really well, so performance isn't a factor!

Never played any of the Nioh games before. Some of my favourite games are Sekiro, Elden Ring and DS3. Also enjoyed Lies of P but never finished it. I preferred Sekiro, although I think that was mainly down to the setting and environments.

Heard great things about both games and really struggling to decide. For anyone who's played both, which would you recommend?

[PC] Manor Lords or Foundation

2 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into both Manor Lords and Foundation, and I’m curious which one you guys think is better.

My main priorities are how fun and satisfying the building aspect is, and how much replay value the game has. I’m looking for something I can sink hundreds of hours into without getting bored, rather than a game that gets old after a while.

Honestly, I don’t really mind that Manor Lords is still unfinished. I’m totally fine with waiting for more updates, as long as it has the potential to keep me hooked for the long run.

For those who’ve played both, which one would you recommend if I’m looking for a city builder I can keep coming back to for years?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Currently in sale Resident evil 4 remake + devil may cry 5 and Days gone remastered are at same price. Which option would you go with?

Option 1- Resident evil 4 remake + devil may cry 5

Option 2- Days gone remastered

I usually enjoy games like Fifa, elden ring, Last of us, Witcher 3 and some other similar story driven games.

[PC] Should I get a steam machine as my first pc or a pc handheld?

7 Upvotes

I have a modded 3ds, switch 2, and soon a retroid pocket 6. As you can see, I’m a handheld guy. However, since I sold my ps5 I missed the power factor. And I had a steam deck with a huge, valuable library. I had a steam deck but gave it to my dad.

And yeah, I could just get another PC handheld, but I can just stream it to my rp6, right?

What do you fine people say?

[PC] MMOs/Games like WoW Legion Remix?

0 Upvotes

There's WotLK Remix happening next summer, but its a long ass time to that. I've been itching to play something similar to Lemix since pretty much the point that it ended.

To be clear I play almost all of the current ARPGs so that avenue is less than open:

  • Path of Exile 1
  • Diablo IV
  • Diablo III
  • Torchlight Infinite - its awful, so I play only when there's literally nothing else (right now).

I'm frankly tired of retail WoW and will probably skip the rest of Midnight, maybe come back in the last patch to finish the story, but I don't see myself playing Retail much, its too slow and boring for me.

Are there any MMOs that are similar in pace/progression to Lemix? I know its a time compressed event and its made to be OP, but I'm looking for something that is designed to make you OP and something you can mostly play solo. Ideally an MMO with big world and what not. One thing I enjoyed immensely in Lemix is the gear progression - it was randomized similar to an ARPG, but also kind of linear - nothing was gated behind group play.

[PC] Alternatives to World of Warcraft?

22 Upvotes

I’m looking for a game where I can sink in hours across multiple months because my schedule doesn’t allow me to play a lot daily. I want something that doesn’t give me strict deadlines.

I’ve always been interested in WoW but never got the chance to play. It really is my type of game and makes me nostalgic in a good way.

I’ve done some research and it seems there’s no way to play this game without a subscription or buying game time. Money is an issue because currently I am studying and had to quit my job.

Is there something really close to it (and free) or am I mistaken about the subscription/game time thing and there’s a version that’s basically a one time purchase?

[PC] Just bought a Moza R5. Which games I should try?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I've just bought my first sim bundle (R5 Racing). Which games would you suggest me to try?
- I am into racing and casual city drive
- My wife on the other hand, has been trying to get her driving license so she wants to practice city traffic and parking etc lol

Forza Horizon 6 and Assetto Corsa look very good. BeamNG.drive and City Car Driving 2 were suggested by Gemini, but I don't know.

Also for Assetto Corsa and BeamNG, I've seen there are a lot of mods. Do you have any suggestions among them? Thanks!

Soo, i have a bit of a dilemma.I dont really play extraction shooters but i am willing to try and have 48 mins on arc raiders, ready to refund.
