/og/ - Other Games

Not CoD of course, I'm meaning more cult classics. I'm heavily biased to older western so I'll list some classics as well as some lesser known new games in the hope that someone might find this useful.

Deus Ex series
Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines
Stealth/Shooter/RPG
Fight or flee and occasionally talk you way out of things. I remember quadrupling my money in Invisible War by rigging a genetic mutant gambling match by breaking into the champion's apartment and giving him a little lead.

System Shock 2
STALKER series
Metro 2033
Atmospheric shooters, some with stats
Specialising in creeping dread, early ammo stress and very few jump scares.

Geneforge series
One of the few CRPGs to maintain the trinity of the speak/sneak/slay from tabeltop RPGs. Be dropped into a world controlled by a secretive totalitarian regime able to mainpulate biology. Interesting themes. You WILL get attached to the little creatures you raise and summon. Put your points into either combat or pacifist skills, you won't be effective if you try to be a hybrid. Damn amusing writing with a branching plot.

Why hasn't anyone talked about this yet?

A game made by Scott Cawthon, where you work the night shift at a children's pizzeria, and you have to survive against animatronics that wander at night and are out for your blood.

There's two games at the moment, a third one is in development. Either way, it gained an insane amount of popularity around the time of its release.

I'm just gonna dump my Pokemon screenshots here.
Gens I and II.

One of the best TPS I've ever played, I've been playing this in the last 10 years and this game never gets old. It's amazing all the different things you can do and the different game modes you can play. This game really needs more recognition.

What does Uboachan think of this list of worthwhile freeware games that I helped to compile?

http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Freeware_Games

overrated?

Would anyone be interested in an official Terraria server for Uboachan?

Tactical "fire emblem-like" RPG made in SRPG Studio about magical girls fighting demons, monsters and other bad guys. The game includes a massive cast of lovely characters, very good story, amazing soundtrack and tight tactical gameplay, where player should make a good use of his strategy brain in order not to be wiped even by regular enemies in few turns. Combat system is very elaborated, every girl has her own weaknesses and strenghts, and positioning your team means a lot, since almost all the opponents are deadly and powerful.

For now, the game is available only in Japanese, but maybe (just maybe) it will be translated to English.

"This thing again?!"

A while ago I put Hell Diary on hiatus while I worked out the design of the game and what direction I wanted to go with it. Is it a sim, an adventure, what do I want to do with this thing?

I think it's still my most popular game despite not being in active development… until recently. A lot of people really, really liked Nightmare Castle, or at least some of the things it did with aesthetics. Hell Diary is set in that era (well… roughly). So I've started over again almost from square one and worked out some design elements I can stick to and make the game really fun for me to work on and feel like I'm making progress, and not confusing the hell out of players.

I've done away with the in-universe calendars and lingo and stuff, I'll just say the game is set in 1979 and has all of the characters you knew from before. But I'm splitting the story up into three "episodes" and at least trying to start out less open-ended. Gameplay's the same, but the aesthetic is different and there should be less stuff to wade through to get to the story.

NOW, the game's being done with Nightmare Castle's PC-8801/9801 aesthetic with 8-colour 640x400 graphics, and a soundtrack done with emulated YM2203 and Music Macro Language instead of Nightmare Castle's SB16 soundfont. I've already got the "engine" set up (it reuses Nightmare Castle's scripts and visual effects). I'll have some more about it up when I can take some screens; this post is long enough already!
