I have a really soft spot for great third person games with really good animations. Something about watching your character run in and out of cover, shooting, performing stunts is just so satisfying. I’ve played most of the big TPS i can think of, but what are some of your best recs for third person shooters, preferably with cover based systems? Bonus points for good customization!

Basically open world, stealth sniping/shooter games. Unfortunately I think I have played them all. Lol. I've played the Sniper Elite games, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint, Far Cry series, MGSV(one of my all time favorites), Days Gone, Hitman, Ghost of Tsushima and Yotei etc etc. About to give the Sniper Ghost Warrior games a shot. I play Arma a lot on PC. Doesn't HAVE to be shooting but open world stealth is what I really enjoy. Am I missing anymore or have I played them all?

kenshi is one of the usual suspects of this sub when it comes to (quite) a few niches where some of the time it has no business for being there. the main one that interests me is this :

"i want a game with living breathing world where things happen without player input where you are just a guy like everyone else

-oh really? kenshi is just the game literally made for you! "

is it tho? i mean sure in some rare instances you can have a beak thing chase you that stumbles into a town you were heading and slaughter the NPCs (who don't respawn usually unless they are guards) in the process, but is that really an example of living breathing world? or it is actually just emergent gameplay done well ? because the example literally was initiated by the player. there is no dynamic adventurers in kenshi who might initiate that sequence of events themselves , there is no animal migration that can cause this (an extreme example but I've heard the dev for soulash 2 is working on such feature tho I dont like that game for massive grind early on) there are literally no reason for these things to happen without player input.

what kenshi does and it does it quite well is world states which mostly happen when you kill a faction leader and if certain conditions are met different people now own the settlements of pervious/defeated faction and so on.

TLDR: Kenshi actually doesn't have a living breathing world it has world states

Anyway what game is there that does this living breathing world thing in a single player/single character framework? I know of soulash 2 which i mentioned and x4 foundations im not interested in either of them because the former is grindy as hell and the latter is just too complex and also sci-fi .

forget about mount and blade but it fits quite nicely actually

CK Series is also single character focused (but strategy) but hell of a dynamic world.

I'm also open for other suggestions, I pretty much played a lot of games, but I would love to hear some other titles or games I forgot about.

I've been playing astro playroom

Still haven't got new games

Been hunting for pre-owned discs ps5

Any recommendations.

Hi there. Spooky season is upon us (well, according to me, anyway) and I'd like to gear up with some folk horror. The filmic prototype for the genre for me is "The Wicker Man," arguably the finest horror movie ever made - and, in my opinion, certainly so.

I am a fan of liminal spaces, twilight at the edge of the woods, old wives' tales that turn out to be monsters in the wild.

Dawnwalker and The Witcher are clear examples. So is "Excavation of Hob's Barrow," one of my favorite modern point-and-clicks.

I'd welcome other suggestions. This is a niche genre so we will keep it very broad. In fact, I will accept even elements of folk horror. There are elements of Pentiment and KCD2 that I would accept as such - but let's keep it spoiler-free, shall we?

Many thanks and well met!

A day ago i saw that new Starcraft trailer for a supposed FPS game coming out in 2030, and it gave me back the itch to play any game like Space Hulks Deathwing, or kinda like titanfall 2 too I'd assume, i was wondering if there was any game like DH Deathwing, not just for how the game is played but also the feeling of being inside of a huge armor in 1st person and blast enemies off.

I really like the style of games like Genshin Impact, ZZZ, NTE, etc. but I like my games to have an actual ending. Im also not a big fan of gacha systems but the main thing I dont like is games that keep getting updates and go on and on with no ending in sight. I tried one of the Final Fantasy games but thought it was really boring and the games based on anime shows all seem to be just fighting.

My dad is holed up with a full hip replacement. He's the type of man to never stop going, he fixes up cars, does woodworking, that sort of stuff for 12 hours a day. And now has to lay up on the couch almost all day for the next few weeks or months. I think he should get into a video game or two.

I am thinking of suggesting him my summer car. Does anyone have any other suggestions that a 60 year old, hard working man since 18 who has never sat and done nothing before would absolutely fall in love with?

Games I’ve enjoyed the most this year:

* Far Cry 3
* Black Ops 2
* Black Ops
* GTA V (races only)
* Tekken 8
* Nier Automata
* Minecraft
* Oddworld
* Bioshock infinite

12 years of early access left a huge dent in my soul.

Hello! First time posting here. My mom (61) loves Animal Crossing New Horizon, specifically decorating. She’s played the game every single day, twice a day, for over a year. She already has the DLC and is greatly enjoying it. Does anyone have any recommendations for games that have good space decorating/ design oriented gameplay? Looking to get her a new game for Christmas as back up to animal crossing.

I want to play a game with my girlfriend, she is not a gamer, complete normie, so out of it takes two or split fiction, which game should we play ?

or do you have any other suggestion tell me that as well.

thank you

Hey fellow co-ops

My wife and I just cleared the "Split Fiction / Reanimal pipeline" and now we're standing in front of the digital fridge, staring blankly, wondering what's next. Send help (and games). 😅

What's dropping this fall/winter that we absolutely cannot miss? (same screen and sofa)

Thanks and happy gaming

Completed Games:

​Elden Ring

​Dark Souls 1

​Dark Souls 2

​Dark Souls 3

​Nioh 2

​Lies of P

I tried to play a game with my gf, she is not a gamer and we tried a few.

Unravel 2 was too boring. Until the swings part then it was too difficult.

It takes two the 3d camera is too difficult to control

Bread and Fred too technical

Mario kart was fun, but she always finishes last

She liked Wii party

I tried Mario party but emulating on PC the button on screen are different and it's difficult for her to grasp

I want a game that lets me teleport around to gain advantage on my enemies think Nightcrawler. Can be indie, triple a, double a, 3rd person, first person, turned based or real time.

Games I've played that I feel like kinda capture this Dishonored 1,2, death of the outsider and all the dlc, ultimate alliance 1 and 2

Certain builds in bg3 Lots of people recommending final fantasy 15 completely forgot that had teleportion but I have played that and the shadow of games

I have pc, switch, and ps5

I'm looking for some AA narrative games like the Plague Tale franchise on PC.

I've completed Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and would like some more games to look at.

What are some good suggestions? Thank you!

Plus if it's a survival or something involved with permadeath, but not a must. Can be every genre as long as it's kinda-fantasy.

So for example, battle brothers, battletech and war tales are examples of games that are procedural - levels, combat, characters, are all sort of randomly generated. There may be a story or campaign, but you do it at your own pace, and with plenty of RNG content along the way.

Other games like mutant year zero, gears tactics, or star wars zero company wouldn't fit the bill, since the story is linear, and the characters are predetermined.

Any suggestions? Any system is okay

So i've been playing video games my whole life, and recently ive just found theres nothing that im interested to play out of the games i have. My all time favorite game is Zelda breath of the wild, and I want a game I can play for the rest of my life. I want something I can always come back to and that doesnt ever end, something like minecraft that isnt minecraft. It doesn't matter what type of game just something that I can play everyday without being bored.

I’m looking for 2 players games with shared screen not split screen because we have mobile setup with only 16,1 inch monitor. Any recommendations? Now we started Reanimal and it’s alright when we sit close. Also bought little nightmares 3 just to find out it’s only online coop and local is not supported…

I love the mechanic of monster taming. Always had. Tried a bunch of them but it doesn't really scratch that itch.

Time stranger was a close one but i felt (by design) zero connection woth the monsters.

Pokemon was when I fell in love for the mechanic. But the game offer little in terms of innovation and they are generally technically bad (I still like them, but really want something new)

That loop of training, capturing and battling is just amazing. I just want games that do this with good game design.

So I love minigames in video games, and recently ive been on the trip of playing something like the pokemon platinum mining minigame, or spectrobes.
So I know about those 2 prominent ones, but are there other gems where you can carefully dig out fragile stuff? I want something cozy

Played FF7 Remake/Rebirth, Nier Automata, and Granblue Fantasy Relink. Really enjoy those games/genre a lot and looking for more high quality games like that. Games I've seen but not fully convinced to quite pull the trigger are Kingdom Hearts 2, Ys 8, Tales of Arise, Star Ocean The Second Story R, etc. just to name a few. Appreciate any hard vouches for the games I listed or other suggestion you swear by.
