To preface: i havent played a flying game since Ace Combat 4 in 2001. Im a pilot by trade in real life (helicopter pilot) so of course I also have a natural love for aviation. I have no idea what the story of ace combat is since the last game I played was when I was 6 years old when it came out.

Normally I play single player RPG games like crimson desert and cp2077 and others, as well as FPS games like wardogs, deadlock, etc.

Im very interested too get into ace combat again especially with the advances in technology but I guess im on the fence over the $70+ price tag.

The reviews for the game are very good, but id want a game that I can either play more than once OR have a multi-player that isn't going to be dead in a month.

My rig:

5060 Ti

Intel i7-11700F

32 GB DDR4

SSD space for the game.

Just like, the title says: Should I get Cyberounk 2077 or Crimson Desert.

I just can't find any good games to play right Now im between either Cyberounk 2077 or Crimson Desert I like Open world games and RPGs like Elden ring which is my favorite game I also Like Games Like Cyberpunk 2077 which the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Anime Is one of my favorite shows.

I'm looking for games where digging, mining, and terraforming are actual gameplay mechanics rather than just ways to gather resources so I can buy better equipment and gather even more resources. No incremental mining games, please.

I love it when digging helps you explore, uncover secrets, access hidden areas, reshape the environment, or solve problems. Basically, I want a reason to care about where and how I'm digging, beyond whatever resources I get out of it.

Here's a list of games I've played, categorized by how well they scratched that itch:

Good — games that did what I wanted:

• Terraria
• Astroneer
• Core Keeper
• Noita
• Deep Rock Galactic
• No Man's Sky

Bad — games that didn't scratch the itch for me:

• Wall World
• Dome Keeper
• Starbound
• Techtonica

Meh — games that had some good ideas, but didn't fully deliver:

• Oxygen Not Included (colony sims are above my pay grade)
• SteamWorld Dig 1 & 2
• Pepper Grinder
• Enshrouded
• Valheim
• Starseeker
• Super Motherload

I'm open to games from any genre, as long as digging or manipulating terrain serves a meaningful purpose.

I'm currently looking forward to Kyora and Deeplands

Edit: I know it doesn't fit the theme, but as you might have guessed, I like The Finals a lot.

Anyone played both and have any details of pros and cons for either one? I really loved Metro Exodus and have had my eye on each game but don't know which one I'd enjoy more.

Any thoughts on the story/mechanics of these two games? Anyone prefer one or the other?

I'm as much a fan of immersion and story as I am of games just being fun. Just wanna know more before I flip a coin lol.

Thanks

Hi all, I want to say that I never played a Pokemon game but I am looking into getting into them.

Now, I know emulators exist, and I do have a hacked 3DS, and am not unfamiliar with that side of things. However, I am looking more to dust off my Switch, so asking primarily for that. If a remake is same as its old version, I don't mind 3DS route to save money.

I refuse to buy a Switch 2 as I was heavily disappointed in my Switch 1. I know it's better, it has performance, all that, but it both doesn't have regional pricing and also, if I need a demanding game, I have Xbox Ally X that I prefer.

I also have no friends I can trade or play with. My country's poor and no one has the console or games.

I'm looking for a game with satisfying gunplay, good looting/scavenging, and resource/inventory management. I prefer PVE but don't mind dabbling in PVPVE or PVP. Which of these game fit the bill? Videos from all three make them look really fun. I like the idea of a high-stakes extraction game with fun shooting.

Have you played them? I'm keen to hear thoughts about the pros and cons of each.

Edit: I’ll be playing solo.

Hey! I’m rolling off Control Resonant… overall liked it but glad to be done. And so I’m looking at my next game from this short list…

Castlevania Belmonts Curse - I like metroidvanias and am in the mood for something heavier on the gameplay. But seems like opinions are mixed on this.

Silver Pines - again I like metroidvanias. Also like survival horror. Never got into twin peaks though. Seems like this game is getting lots of praise.

Star Wars Zero Company - I’m feeling an itch for some heavy turn based combat. And this seems to be getting a lot of praise.

Fire Emblem Fortunes Weaver- again like the thought of some meaty strategic combat. But reading about all the filler and how long this game is has been turned off a bit.

Star Wars Galactic Racer - this just looks fun. But worried I may bounce off it after an evening.

Open to any other thoughts to! Help me decide please :)

I don't know what to buy.

Both of the options seem addicting

Idk which types of game i like tbh, probably I want games which Im hooked to pretty easily. I really prefer coop game

I do not like slow games, and games with boring stories(but all 3 don't have a story)

Rn risk of the rain 2 is cheaper than both

But in the winter sale the price is going to be the same.

I heard both these options are really addicting.

I have a limited budget to buy only one game.
I do like pokemon and i also liked moonlighter 1 it was fun. i have played games like cult of the lamb and loved them but i am pretty confused i read both the reddit threads separately but not sure what to buy, it would be great help if i can choose one
Ps the prices -
Palworld - 1690 Rs ~ 18$
Moonlighter 2 - 2122 Rs ~ 23$

I recently played all the games from the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 in release order but I'm wondering whether it makes sense to break this play style before starting with the Vol. 2.

Look, I went to a local drug store what happens to also sell games, and there was it Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground Zeroes + The Phantom Pain (including all DLCs), but it's the old PS4 game.

Do you think it's worth picking up or should I wait for the Master Collection Vol. 3 instead, because the one at the drug store is only €15 (similar to $15).

If I am not mistaken, everything happening in MGS5 takes place before MGS4, right?

Hey Hey! :)

I am currently looking for more games that have "Rise & Fall" Mechanics like Civ 4's Ryse and Fall of Civilizations or Field of Glory Empires.

I like the idea of keeping larger nations (game) mechanically in check, as it keeps the save interesting for longer.

I do like the internal struggle of empires and their inevitable collapse, but there are not a lot of games doing that.

I assume most players dislike mechanics that keep them from blobbing, so I would be okay with looking at some mods, as these do not have to think about the mainstream audience.

Thanks in Advance:)
