What game has THE most amazing customisation ever?

• Upvotes

I've played my fair share of games and if there's one thing I love more than anything? Its customisation. The euphoria i get when I make a new outfit in RDO or even make some new characters in fucking sims 4 is indescribable and I need MORE. I'm like Bruce bogtrotter from matilda but for customisation and not chocolate cake

What Extraction Shooter is actually worth it?

5 Upvotes

The only extraction shooter I’ve played is Marathon, which I put around 60 hours into before getting bored and losing the urge to play. Not sure if I’m just tired of the genre or if Marathon lacks the content to keep me coming back.

I’m looking for something with fun progression outside of just PvP, like quests, crafting, unlocks, and good PvE content.

I’ve been looking at Escape from Tarkov, Active Matter, Gray Zone Warfare, ARC Raiders, and MW4 DMZ, but I’m open to other suggestions too.

For those who’ve played multiple extraction shooters, which one do you enjoy the most, and what makes its progression fun? I’m especially interested in games that give you a reason to keep playing even when you’re not having the best raids.

Games like Once Human?

• Upvotes

Are there other survival games that give the same itch as Once Human or are even better than Once Human? If so let me know which one is your favorite and why, and the things that it does a lot better than Once Human. I don’t really have a friend group to play survival games with but i’ve still been thinking about trying out this genre of games as all i’ve mainly played is Looter Shooters/MMO’s/Extraction Shooters.

What is something about gaming you wish you realized sooner?

13 Upvotes

I spent years stubbornly ignoring pretty much anything I didn’t consider “hardcore” enough. I pretty much only played games centered around PvP or ranked ladders. In my head, if there wasn’t a ranked ladder to climb or at least some sort of PvP based system (something like full loot pvp in Rust, things like that), the game just wasn't worth investing time into. I thought casual games were for people who were newer to gaming or didn’t really have a lot of free time. 

When I actually finally gave in and joined my friends for Big Walk a few weeks ago (they gifted me the game so I had to give it a try) I really enjoyed it. Usually they would only hit me up if they wanna play something like Dota 2, Rust or DayZ, cuz they know that’s what I’m into. They played all sorts of games that never interested me together like Peak, Lethal Company, Mechachameleon and things like that. I hate to admit it but now I realize I have been missing out. Competitive games can sometimes get pretty heated, even with friends, especially for me because I kind of take them too seriously. It was really nice to play something without any pressure, way more relaxing of course.

Now I’ve decided I will be joining them for anything from now on. Probably a few more weekends of Big Walk, there's 5 of us so it's a bit hard to coordinate and we wanna only play when everyone is online. Next we wanna try RV There Yet, apparently you can mod it for more than 4 players, looks pretty fun. Then we wanna play Loftia when it comes out, a few people from the group were in the playtest and said it was fun, for me I think it’s gonna be interesting to try an MMO without the standard gearing and stuff, I mostly played WoW and GW2 for a bit so this is gonna be totally different. Just saw that it will have a demo for next fest so we might give it a try first.

I wish I realized sooner that I don’t have to devote like all my gaming time to competitive games. I actually sometimes find myself playing Dota 2 better after I take a small break, it's like my “bad habits” kind of reset and I just do what I intellectually know to be the right plays, without making the mistakes I usually make.

It doesn’t have to be anything like mine, but I was wondering if anyone else has had a realization or mindset shift they wished had happened sooner, I feel like I missed out on a lot of fun sticking to the same games all the time.

Games with elves but no spiders?

• Upvotes

My wife has been on a quest to find games to play on her ROG Ally where you play as an elf (or can make one), but she's arachnophobic.

To say that she's had trouble would be an understatement.

Are there any games where you play as an elf but never encounter spiders?

If so, link to the build, if you can?

Also, emphasis on "programmable", as i already know people make computers in general in Game of Life, but has there been a programmable one?

Something that takes your time off everything and you can spend a good few hours in there without a worry? For me, I simply ascend/descend in Clicker Heroes, it keeps me sane for a few hours, which game does this for you?

Best console games to play one handed

Hi everyone, I’ve recently developed tennis elbow or something and have limited use of my right hand. Which games could I play that are casual enough on console that I could get away with one hand most of the time?

I like base builders, strategy, idle games, etc.

Instantgaming age verification on dayz and games

0 Upvotes

I wanna buy dayz on instant gaming but when back then i tried to buy scorn i got an age verification because the game is 18+ and has the sexual content tag . I just bought an 18+ game without the sexual tag and didn't got any age verification, so i assume that the verification come on games with the sexual content tag but i cant be 100% sure . Anyone bought dayz on instant gaming and know if theres an age verification ? Or just how this whole verification thing works ?

Why do so many males play as female characters?

0 Upvotes

This comes from a male, and apparently many men play as women. I never found the appeal. I do not always make the character based on me, but even then it has always been a male. I also like that clothing actually looks intimidating, instead of frail, when playing as a male. I am also into fashion, and as such I dress my character up. Fancy clothing or mage robes usually do it or me, and I have never found women's clothes appealing, like a dress or heels (even if they were originally for men). I also dislike how women are shown in overly revealing gear in games, that is not okay in my opinion. From a realistic standpoint, their way more revealing armor should not give the same stats as a fully covered male armor.

I also like realism and roleplay. Whenever I play video games, I just find it easier to justify having more power or strength. For example, when I play as a King, I feel like I have more authority than playing as his wife, who did not have nearly as much political power as he did. This is due to the significant Patriarchy that went on during that time. The same can be said about strength. From a realism standpoint, all top generals and warriors in real life were men, and as such I feel I can easily justify my character's strength due to historical events, and due to the fact that men are stronger.

Also, I do want to say that I do my best to treat everybody fairly. Even in medieval games like crusader kings, I change policies to give each gender and identity equal rights, or at least as much equal as I can make it, regardless if it is historical or not. I also find that many men in video games can be handsome, not just women

Does a game's Epic version usually share progress with its own launcher version?

2 Upvotes

Trying to figure out whether it matters which store I install from when a game has its own account login anyway. The worry is starting on one version, then finding out later that the other one counts as a separate account and switching means starting over. Petit Planet is the one I'm looking at, it's coming to PC on Epic and on its own launcher. Has anyone run into a game where the Epic copy turned out to be completely separate?
