ITT underrated games/hidden gems. Post shit worth checking out that people don't know/play.
too expensive on steam for an old game
>>345451197

Gets regular updates until a new game comes out which takes years usually.

>>345452346
How do I get gud at these games? I mean I used to build towns on empty maps as a kid, but whenever I tried to actually play against the AI I got my shit kicked in
>>345452491
pshhh...nothin personal kid
What's the best city builder RTS game?
I think it's Tiberian Sun.
>>345452394
Name of the game?
>>345451197
>>345452346
I knew this board is young, but holy shit, thats not settlers 2, you morons
I wanna okay a city builder but do not wanna deal with tedious micro management.
2070 was so fucking good but having to populate different islands to make wine and salad made me uninstall the game.
>>345452973
Dominions 4Prepare to summon suns to scroch the land, accelerate the whole world so every unit starts aging faster getting all sorts of nasty attributes, prepare to freeze the seas so the underwater nations can't get out or in, preapre to summon giant globs of dead bodies that can go out of control and literally take over the entire map because they end up unkillable, preapre to make generals that can with the help of some magical artifacts take on on entire armies.
>>345452973
Looks like some Dominions 4
>>345453063
settlers 4 came out in 2001, if you were 10 when you played it you would be 25
>>345453542
Oh god yes, I just wish there was more variety to it. Once you go through the tech tree a couple of times you're pretty much building up the same shit for every mission and basically doing the same stuff. Oh and the combat is clunky as hell but at least the game gives peaceful alternatives in most levels
>>345453661
yup, but there is no denying the game is top tiercomfy
>>345453267
i am older than that
>>345452346
how do I get good at Settlers?
>>345453891So am i D:
>>345452579
If you take a tower (or take back one of your own) it seems like AI will then attack you relentlessly so don't do it till you're ready. Also figure out how many towers you need to spam along side each other to deter AI from agroing you. Bit cheap and can get boring, I'm sure the korean esports scene does it differently.
>>345453850THE comfiest
>>345452394
where the fuck are the formations? fuckin savages
>>345452558
My first game was S3 so I didn't had chance to play S2 :( Sorry anon
>>345454071
You need to build more building!
>>345452663
Nah, Enemy Nations.
Industry Gaint 2 is a great comfy economy management game with a superb soundtrack.

>>345455101
Damn... I made small mistake, I had some games for some time but my first computer I got around 1996 and I usually played first Anno, Tiberium Sun, Settlers 3, Tzar... etc.
My childhood is full of RTS and Nintendo games... I am old.

This list contains Brigador, Miasmata, Consortium, Anachronox and Death to Spies, I approve.
This would be an amazing game if the naval combat wasn't so goddamn impossible to use.
As it stands, it's still pretty fun if you can find ways to avoid pirate engagements.
Creeper World 3
This is like the more detailed and less abstract counterpart to Crusader Kings, all kinds dynasty shenenigans, council politics and firebombing your competition. It's great and even has multiplayer.
>>345456902
Except you always start out with enough money to build your own shop and from there upgrading it and advancing through politics is easy peasy. You almost cannot lose.
>>345451197

very intricate but refreshing in the same respect
b.a.t a very nice cyber punk point and click game it has some amazing characters

Every fucking time I start a new game I realize it's one of the best games to have ever been conceived.
>>345452394
It's a bit expensive for me. I passed on it once when it was on sale. How are formations and terrain bonuses?
>>345456902
This is basically The Sims of business and politics. It needs a sequel. A good one.
>>345458364
It's getting a sequel, don't know if it'll be any good though.
>>345458364
The Guild 3 is in the works, but it's by different people and I don't think there's a lot of information about exaclty it's supposed to play yet beyond vague buzzphrases like "it'll combine the best parts of the Guild 2 and Europe 1400".
>>345458228
This is true. Also, Maran Gor completely shits over all other gods.
Outlaws. Great Soundtrack.
I never played C&C where should I start?
>>345459298
Red Alert
>>345459298
Here:
https://cncnet.org/red-alert
Or OpenRA if you only care about skirmish/multiplayer.
Then go to Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Generals and C&C 3. Renegade if you want an fps, and Red Alert: A Path Beyond and Tiberian Sun Reborn for multiplayer fpsif you can find players.
>>345459298
Red Alert 2
>>345459403
>>345459547
>>345459757
I only care about the single player, it has been a long time since I played a new good RTS campaign.
>>345459934
Then play the single player campaigns. Start with Red Alert.
>>345459934
Yeah, then RA, TS, RA2, C&C3 and Generals can be played at any time because it's completely different from the others.
Also, for other good RTS campaigns check out:
>Warzone 2100
>Earth 2150
>Original War
>Cossacks: European Wars (or better Back to War with the Ultimate Pack that adds all the campaigns)

The people making TG3 are the same people that made Superpower 2, so they seem to know a thing or two about making niche simulators.
They also have this series of articles about their planned AI system, which sounds interesting:
http://www.golemlabs.com/?tech=2
I'm cautiosly optimistic.
Let's not forget about this game, guys. The visuals and gameplay were fucking spectacular in it. If there's any RTS I'd ever speedrun, it'd be this game.
>>345460370
I got this as a gift from a Steam friend. I really have to go back to playing it. I've never even finished the first mission.
Yeah the combat can get repetitive and the AI can be dumb as shit sometimes but if you enjoy games like HoMM and King's Bounty it's worth checking out.
Also the art style is amazing.Disciples III
Also, this game. Holy fuck, so much fun was had with this. The fact that units gained XP and transferred over in the campaign was addictive as fuck.
Outcast was great.
You can get the patched version on steam.
>>345460642
Dont mention it. Disciples died at 2.
>>345460578
Play it, dude. It's fun as fuck. It's how your guys gain XP and can be lost forever that makes you care. I think I completed the campaign at least 10 times as a kid.
>>345460729
>The fact that units gained XP and transferred over in the campaign was addictive as fuck.
I have a hunch you'd really enjoy Warzone 2100. It even has the persistant base/using transporters to bring units into the actual mission area thing going on.
>>345453107
just buy/produce some seeds nigger, 2 islands are sufficient to get to the top pop level
>>345460642
Be sure to get Reincarnation expansion though, it's the only version that's somewhat playable.
>>345452346
4 is literally improved 3 though.
played alot of Dark colony when I was young. The game has aged like milk...
>>345460918
Probably. But the always looming backlog and being impatient with new games doesn't help. It's easier for me to just play something I'm already familiar with.
>>345460642
Motherfucker are you serious? Disciples 2 is a god damn masterpiece in game design compared to the abomination that is 3. It's barely playable with the expansion but god damn they ruined a fantastic series.
Play Disciples 2 if you want a game like HoMM and King's Bounty.
Majesty fantasy kingdom sim is very good and extremely underrated
>>345456902
I hope the sequel doesn't suck, for all its faults guilds was a unique and interesting game
>>345461424
>tfw tried playing majesty as a kid
>gave up every time because I didn't understand what the fuck was going on
>>345461424
Seconding Majesty. Damn good game. A shame they sucked the soul out of the series with Majesty 2.
>>345451197
>You guys remember The Settlers?
>Great game right?
>We here at Ubisoft always make great games, therefore we proudly present the next title in the Settler series: ASSFAGGOTS with production lines
>Pre-order now goy!
>>345461424
I fucking love majesty, they should've made it so that multiplayer made players become heroes with one player being the majesty
This right here. King of Dragon Pass. Its not expensive and after some hours in you will feel like a clan leader thinking about crops, cattle, chaos and relationships to other clans.
>>345453542
>tfw no Dorf Fort with Cultures visuals.
Feels fucking bad man.
Cultures 1/2/Northland were my fav games as a kid, campaigns weren't great due to the repetition, but fuck huge custom maps were just the best.
I really wish there were more village management/building games with an emphasis on the people.
The Guild series had potential, but is overall pretty shit and the Sims is about the closest i've found.
>>345461759
Nothing wrong with MOBAs, anon. It's what people want to play. Nobody is stopping you from enjoying the old RTS games, but the demand has simply decreased. I used to enjoy RTS a lot as well, but I just don't have the attention span anymore, and mobas are comfy.
Battle Realms.
It's a very unique RTS game since you actually have to actually train your soldiers.
By default you get a peasant hut that constantly produces peasants for free, you can send that peasant to a Dojo and train him as a spearman, or to a shooting range and get an archer. You can also combine different units by sending them to different training buildings - archer sent to an alchemist's hut will come out as a huge sumo dude with a huge artillery cannon. And if your unit goes through all of the training buildings he comes out as a Samurai that's pretty decent against everything. There are 4 unique factions, fighting animations are really well done and it even has a non linear (albeit pretty silly) campaign.
It went unnoticed when it was released due to being close to WC3, that was released only a few months later.
This great game right here. A shame the studio collapsed while working on the next one. Maybe one day.
>>345462178
Battle Realms 2 never ever. What happened to it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCm6zGa2ijE
>>345462678
Devs tried to kickstart a shitty hearthstone rip-off instead. They failed miserably.
Then they tried to release an HD remake of the original game on Steam with functioning matchmaking and shit. They failed miserably, their main programmer left them, the game is still nowhere in sight.
I presume they just gave up.
>>345460370
What game?
>>345462990
Original War
>tfw always wanted to like RTSes but the RT part of it always stresses me the fuck out
What are some good TB ones? Besides HoMM.
DASH DASH DASH
>>345463141
King's Bounty, all of them.. Disciples 2. Age of Wonders 2/Shadow Magic and Age of Wonders 3. Obviously HoMM though you can always try the one nobody every played, 4.
>>345463245
Isn't HoMM complete shit beyond 3?
>>345462498
>that hotel management mission
I hated it so much.
a BRÜTAL hidden gem
>>345463420
5 is actually good with the expansions
>>345463141
Battle Isle 3
Battle for Wesnoth
>>345463420
No, 4 is just very different and 5 is very good game with all the expansions (if you can stomach the "Warcraft is really popular right now" artstyle).
It's hard to beat perfection.
>>345463432
>shitty RTS elements
the game was so freaking good then that happens, NOPE
>>345463420
HoMM 4 tried something new and wasn't successful at it. It's still pretty good, and has the best music and campaigns in the series imo.
>>345455549
I dont remember half those buildings, is this a mod?
>>345463605
It wouldn't be so bad if it was properly foreshadowed and explained. But no one expected it and the shift in gameplay focus came as an unpleasant surprise.
>>345452394
Got my full color manual coming today. The differences from 3.X to now are too big to ignore.
Better than Final Fantasy, any of them.
>>345463841
>underated
yeah right, its just about one of the more popular games for that system
What are some alternatives to Settlers?
Wanted to play through S4 but it seems the game is broken on a bunch of ATI cards on Windows 10. Played through S2 gold recently, thirsting for more games like that.
Why do all the recent settlers games have to be complete and utter dogshit? The one where you control fixed size segments of the map and have to fight at certain control points killed any interest I had in the series.
>>345456902
>>345457109
Guild 2 is a complete shithouse compared to the original. This is not an RTS game. Why did they try to make an RTS game out of it? Killed the series. Waiting to see if Guild3 has the balls to revive.
>>345463841
Everyone and their mothers heard about Golden Sun.
Why has this game been forgotton?
>>345458228
>>345458674
Last game I tore wide open. Clan so big there were demands every year to divide it. Refused every year. Largest, deadliest clan.
>>345463841
this is one of the most overrated RPGs ever
>>345463605
You are gay or what?
>>345464076
>Everyone and their mothers
I'm the only human ive met thats played it....why arent you guys my friends?.....
>>345463420
No. 5 is 3 with better graphics, 4 has the best story and music and 7 tried really hard to be good but falls just a little bit short, though I still like it.
>>345460078
>>345460175
Yeah I will make a list then.
>mfw playing Dawn of War base game campaign.
It's almost therapeutic killing orks for the Emperor.

My favorite Tower Defense, it even had a "deluxe" edition a few months ago.
It's not that old (2012) but yet I can't find anyone who played it.
I can't even remember how I discovered this game for myself so.. Here it is.
Fucking DROD
Seriously, if you like puzzles, you -need- to play this game
It's such a careful work of love for puzzles and secrets
>>345460770
Absolutely based.
I still get a bit melancholic when I remember that it was a financial flop.
>>345458753
>Where are you marshal?!
10/10 game
>>345460770
this game was rad as hell, I need to get the 1.1 version someday
I was pretty sad when the remake kickstarter failed.
>>345460729
Warlords Battlecry does the same with regular units. All units who gain champion status can be carried over to the next campaign. Your hero can literally summon an armored skeleton giant with a champion status immediately.
Tetrobot and co.
Seriously underrated puzzler. Probably my second fav game ever.
>>345454227
We're all going to die here.
one of the best strategy games ever made and one of the few rpg/rts mixes that actually worked.
Warlords Battlecry II/III - 16 races, more than 20 hero professions, endless possibilities.
>overshadowed by Morrowind's release
>had a great crafting system
>had decent combat
>had great spell casting
>only those who played it know why it's good
It really is good.
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident
Oh boy, I can post this one somewhere else than in a GBA thread. Look up stuff for this one and you will be blown away by the only RTS on the GBA.
>>345457142
>some shitty patch
Hard life mod exists.
>>345452394
Holy fucking shit I've never seen an army nearly that size
>>345465762
>tfw i have this
fun idea but ultimately proves RTS is not a good idea on GBA
>>345452579
Two things: Get your economy done correctly. You can also change your food for mines, so everyone gets fish at first until bread and meat are produced.
Secondly, the ai is retarded and you can abuse it. If one tower of the ai gets attacked, it send all units to defend without attacking back on their way to said tower. Also keep as little towers for yourself, it only attacks if the ai feels strong enough, not when you gather all units around your few towers
>>345465350
Best unit coming through

>>345458753
Shame about the game.
Hitscan enemies are shit
>>345462178
Battle Realms was a great ass game. Too much micromanagement, but still great.
I can't get it working on my PC these days. :(
>>345465876
It works as well as RTS should on the GBA. Not perfect but a testament on the bizarre technology that is the GBA.
Civil War Generals 2: Grant, Lee, Sherman.
>>345464597
This game is great, I recently learned of it because some guyfrom AGDGis making a clone of it.
Never saw this game in any thread.
>>345461681
Banished is some top tier comfy for the first fifteen minutes
Then everyone starts starving to death and havign too many children and freezing in winter and shit
Then it becomes top tier uncomfy.
>>345466212
Even the GoG version? I had some troubles with pirated ones due to minimap not showing, but GoG version ran fine. At least on Windows 7, didn't try running it on 10 yet.
>>345456110
>Impossible Creatures
Breddy good
>>345463141
play RTS/RTT games with active pause feature, like Earth 2150 or Blitzkrieg.
>>345465479
Seconding this. Arx Fatalis is a great game. It has a unique setting undergound with a good backstory to boot.
>>345465479
It's a fucking awesome game with great replay value since almost all playstyles are viable. Completed it as an archer, melée fighter, thief backstabber, mage, and combination of them all often.
The only thing that new players going in need to be warned of is the cryptic bullshit you have to solve in order to progress. I ran around for ages in the catacombs, trying to find the solution to progress further down each level. Don't even get me started on the part with the 6 runes you need to arrange.
I-It was supposed to be a trilogy...

Literally Bindings of Isaac as a Platformer. Atleast it copies it right. Different Endings, lots of synergies, "teh urns" but still difficult
>>345466725
>>345467445
I wonder how Underworld Ascendant will turn out.
So do you guys actually like these games or is it just nostalgia talking?
More of a real time civ than age of empires. The amount of economy, taxes, diplomacy, loyality and spies make it unique
>>345466479
I fucking loved this game as a kid. In particular I remembered the TECHNOLOGY of enemies bleeding out faster or slower depending on what limb you cut off

It would be perfect, if building walls was not such a pain. Even with the option to hide them while building, it's still very easy to miss a single spot and the opponent army is just walking through it

I'm trying to recall this medieval/fantasy city building game where one of the things you build is a courthouse and a fucking jail/dungeon...
also, you have to build watchposts and wells to put out fires?
>>345465479
Fucking loved Arx Fatalis and they made me a fan forever.
If anything was shadowed by Morrowind, it was Wizardry 8
>>345469862
I remember it being really challenging later on. If you are not fast enough, the opponent just steamrolls you and I didn't even try the expansion, that is supposed to be even harder

>>345470130
It's really easy to turtle if you know what you're doing (that's basically the point of most missions anyway), it's just that attacking is a pain in the ass.
Especially late game where they spam traps faster than you ccan trigger the traps with cheap units.

>>345470132
It's an okay settlers clone, that looked pretty good for 1999. I think it was more of an rts than settlers, because you had to micromanage single units.
The whole scenario was really weird though. Jowood was a pretty based company back then
>>345469972
Maybe the Sierra series of city builders? Pharaoh comes to mind with a courthouse.
>no one mentioned Metal Fatigue
>>345470627
NOLF more like MILF amirite
>>345470656
It also was quite a bit harder from what I recall since your dudes had demands and needed food, and if you didn't fulfill those they'd start becoming criminals and fucking your shit up.

I played it last year for several hours. The arcade like combat is really fun and doesn't require much to learn compared to most other more complex space simulations.
I just got bored at some point when it was pretty much do everything in this quest hub, then get a mission to go to the next system and do the same. But the story was pretty gud and fun to follow. Sadly I never had the chance to play it online, where people could be pirates, like a mini eve online

>>345470874
There was a bit too much of everything to be actually comfy, it was not slow paced if I remember correctly
>>345461578
Majesty 2 had some ok aspects, but it definitely felt devoid of the style and gameplay that Majesty 1 had. Similar void was felt in the Civ clone game that was based on the new Majesty universe.
>>345471073
game would be perfect if it had co op option.
>>345467693
fuck you blizzard
very underrated
80 Days
It's a neat little game based on the Jules Verne novel. It's kind of like a visual novel, I guess? Lots of reading. You have to manage your funds, your inventory and your route while making sure you stay within the time limit and don't let Fogg die
>>345469810
it's fun when it's puzzle game
it's annoying when it's platformer
>>345471817
charlie? is that you?
>>345471658
Nice meme where'd you get it?
anybody remember this game? it's still fun but the 3d models look horrendous
>>345471971
They were working on a sequel, got acquired by blizzard to work on starcraft ghost, and the rest is history
>>345451197
Those visuals look really fucking busy. Everything is bleeding together.
>>345472035
>>345471906

The models look horrible, BUT unlike similarly detailed, say FF7, absolutely great animations save this one.
>>345465350
damn I loved this game
>>345471802
>mfw getting constantly killed already in tutorial level
maybe I should play it again

silver was great, last boss was weird though

I'll be whoever you want me to be, anon

Oh I remember hearing about that a while ago. Fuck Blizzard indeed.
>>345452491
Calling someone 'kid' to piss them off is so fucking cringey
>>345472218
I thought i was the only person who played this, it was surprisingly fun
also: best pokemon game right here

>>345472703
I really want this to hit psn, so badly
but i know it wont happen, what a damn shame
>>345470736
Yes, but do you also see thieves being sent there by the watch then being sent to the dungeon?
I particularly remember those bits, plus the watch putting out fires.
Great or shit? I feel like I fell for the meme.
lol i cant even find a fucking lets play of this.
Was fun at the time, 1998 lol
2d cyberpunk point and click with decent story, writing and VA, the puzzles are pretty good and don't require much pixel hunting and your partner Max is apost-op tranny

They couldn't be a little more specific?
>>345461000
>it's the only version that's somewhat playable
wat
they gutted campaign AI in reincarnation so it's pretty much always inactive, and the story rewrite was rather pointless
Age of Decadence was a dope new release, no one talked about it after 2 weeks though :(
Easily worth the money/pirate if you like learning mechanics and savescumming
>>345473353
It gets more and more specific with each day.
>>345463765
No, that's all tiberian and firestorm. Maybe you never had expac.
>>345472495
liked it, but the plot sucked
>>345463765
Nope, it was alpha or beta version. There were a lot of buildings and units they cut from the main game.
>>345464484
Yeah, I don't like TOwer defense genre, but somehow I love this game, and I'm playing this right now. I just have to 100% it.
lots of TECHNOLOGY but people don't really talk about this game
also does anyone remember some old scifi game in which you controlled some sort of hover tank and fighting other tanks? the movement was pretty fast paced and i remember some kind of customization for your weapons and engines, the entire game took place during a revolution or something, probably got the game from a magazine in the early 2000s

And the original campaign was a bloated, grindy faceroll where you got way too many squad size upgrades.
Personally I enjoyed the remake more, but you are entitled to your opinion.
The one thing Disciples 3 improved compared to 2 was magic system, it's not nearly as absurdly broken.
Better than Warcraft 3, not even rusing.
>>345473801
I always lose interest whe it starts with the first person bullshit.
Anyone remember this?
>>345473717
Good luck anon !
The endless challenges can be a real pain.
>>345473756
Battle zone?
>>345473972
To be fair the first person parts were nausea inducing but creepy as fuck
>>345464484
The plot is so cheesy but I like it. Looking forward to the spiritual sequel.
>>345474026
yes, loved it
If you want to get it on PC, dont get the steam version, check the forum and there should always be a thread to the public version wich runs better and also has more content
>>345474124

Get the fuck out of here! BB was making games, Ubisoft was publishing them back in the 90s. After Ubi bought BB their games started falling down... but at least they kept making them, so it's good. Westwood died after EA bought them... feels bad man.
I do really miss those great games.
Anyone played this interesting title? Tzar.
>>345473931

literally impossible to find a torrent outside a few private trackers
>no one mentions Rogue Trooper
>>345473756
fucking loved this game
so underrated for its time
>>345474086
no, it looked similar but newer, the textures were still flat with close to zero objects but everything looked smooth plus you had a lot of vertical movement options
>>345470132
I had it in fucking German xD I had no idea what to do because I didn't knew German at all.

My nigga

Its not very good
>>345474757
this, it's free now so you have literally no excuse for not playing it
How the fuck do you play this game? I thought maybe I could try playing it like Civ, and it got me nowhere. I'm so confused.
>the one game that has literally never had a thread on /v/

>>345474486

You know what's the best.
>>345470132
HOLY SHIT
I completely repressed any memory of that
>>345475232
What I mean is the game didn't tell me how to DO anything
>>345474605
That was a great game.
>>345468862
anybody played the prequel? starlancer? It was pretty good, the story, the missions, the characters, the fmv animations. man. I even got it in a box few years ago
>>345475251
It's a bit niche even by space vidya standards.
>>345475362
True. Amplitude just doesn't care about tutorials. Or manuals. Or understandable tooltips. Still, it's fun learning by yourself.
>>345469332

>>345466551
Get gud
>>345452394
what the fuck am i looking at
>>345475389
yeah of course
i never beat it tho, i was stuck at the very last mission where you try to blow up the huge evil space station

The Fall - Last Days of Gaia
Basically Germany's Fallout, very comfy and I actually prefer the more realistic setting.
Great OST too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKTo5nrkDNA
>>345473931
is the game as complex as i remember it? i loved it on lan parties but the AI always pushed my shit in
>>345475362
Its not really complex though. The web is basically pointless. You have to go every direction. The combat is awful. Its got some nice music, among other things, and some great ideas. I am looking forward to the sequel, but the game is pretty simple, and stupidly easy once you understand how to build ships.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hwWXxDeAfE
>>345471032
>The arcade like combat is really fun and doesn't require much to learn compared to most other more complex space simulations.
It was easy to pick up, yes, but actual PvP in multiplayer had a fuck huge skill ceiling.
>>345474660
but legitimately no one. This game had such a unique concept to me as a teen, before I realized it was also a badass comic series.
>>345455280
Aw fuck yeah.
>>345465479
arx is the best RPG of all time you fucking asian ps2 nigger wannabe

>>345474495
It's on steam and has the best turn-based tactics gameplay, better than X-Com, although sometimes this game can leave BULLSHIT ambushes and punishes not saving HARD
It's great
>>345475536
man I sucked when I was kid. One mission objective was to blow doors to some stations, and I went to ship to restock, but they got me. Luckily I was picked up by rescue vessel. The mission was failure, but I progressed to next mission.
I played the whole game few years ago. Aced all missions. Except the last one.You should pick up a craft with auto aim and(makes it easier) and cloak (impossible without it). When the station targets you, just cloak and wait.I wasn't good enough and I couldn't save commander Stainer
Pharao people can go home, this is my go to city builder

Everyone just bitched about the Arcade gameplay, althoughi it's still tough as nails on higher difficulties.

Man, I remember religiously reading PC mag for reviews of games. Still have a list from 2003 which games should I buy/play. But back then, there was no fast internet, nor there was legal way to buy games. Only local pirate shops, and the game had to be popular.
Fast forward. Have 30 years, a job, 1500 games on steam, and mostly playing mp. I stopped playing singleplayer, because you need more time for that...
Where did go all wrong...

>>345476909
The rot started even before SEGA bought them.
>>345476896
80 fucking Euro
fuck that game
>>345476896
It's a shittier version of Supreme Commander without proper campaign, selling things that should have been there from the get go as a separate expansion. Another reason Kickstarter shouldn't be trusted.
>>345476973
lel I did not know that could happen
>>345476909
They're also owned by Sega now so get ready to be nickel and dimed out the ass by DLC.
>>345476659Yeah, you had to use afterburner to get to them... I think I used Wolverine for that mission, it had vulcan cannons which killed off torps quick

I liked it a lot. There are certainly things to improve upon but it has a very fun campaign.
>>345476359

To think there were plans to re-release the game but nobody knew who has which rights and were to lazy to actually look.
I'm appalled nobody has mentioned Ghost Master yet.
>tfw still no sequel or a spriritual successor
>>345474579
Is it any good with the community patches?
Still remember being attacked straight at the gate after freeing 3 Cities and missing tones of content just because.
Other than that the game was okey though

>>345463149
Does it emulate well? I feel like this is the last great N64 I have yet to play.
>>345479554
Did they seriously make them unplayable? that's fucking bullshit. Hissho were my favourite race in Endless Space.
>>345479000
Yeah, that game was one of my favourites. Some of those things you had to do to free ghosts were just insane
>have to start a fucking firestorm in a specific region of the map outside of the police department to have the ventilation system suck up the hot air and free the ice dude that's trapped in the basement
Ultimately it relied a bit too much on RNG, sometimes the humies just wouldn't go where they're supposed to.
>>345479805
They're listed as a minor Faction on the website. Minor factions are lesser races you can incorporate into your Empire to gain their bonuses and Heroes.
They are probably replacing the Hissho as the honourable warrior playable faction, but I don't know why they'd fucking do that. I suppose you could just recreate them as a custom race I guess.

>>345470627
>The first and foremost challenge facing Night Dive was figuring out who actually owned the rights to the game. It was developed by Monolith and published by Fox Interactive, but in the decade-and-a-half since it came out, Monolith was acquired by Warner Bros. Interactive, while Fox Interactive was purchased by Vivendi, which then entered into a merger with Activision. Warner appeared to be the primary rights holder but told Night Dive that Activision "has some ownership" as well, as a result of that merger.; Activision, however, said it couldn't confirm its standing because the records predated digital storage and it wasn't entirely sure where the paperwork was. 20th Century Fox, which Night Dive also contacted, was in the same boat.
>There wasn't much enthusiasm for the idea of re-releasing NOLF from anyone, according to the report, but the wheels didn't come off entirely until December 2014, when Night Dive received a letter from an attorney representing Warner that threatened legal action if it went ahead with a new version of the game. That led to further back-and-forth regarding licensing, but in February the final word came down that Warner wasn't interested in either publishing an updated NOLF itself, or partnering with Night Dive to make it happen. Because of that, Night Dive said it will now let its trademark on the title lapse.
Fucking Warner

It also had some OP as fuck abilities later on, the posession ones and the "gift" creating ones that allowed you to tie any ghost to the gift that humans were drawn towards and liked to carry around.

It also had some 3D models for flying units.

This shit... I used to play this game all the time as a kid. Fucking loved it. Also got it for phone once. First and only app I ever bought, and it was worth it.
>>345481527We had managed to get a hold of the source code for the first game and the second game. We had already created a laundry list of updates and enhancements and bug-fixes that we wanted to do to the original titles," he said. "So, essentially what we would've ended up with was a definitive version of both of those games. We were about to commit a large chunk of development time in making sure that No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 were 100% compatible with Windows 8 64, Linux, OSX, had a full complement of Steam features, achievements, working multiplayer, dedicated servers… this is our baby, and we really wanted to give it every chance that we could, to make sure that people would play it again, and enjoy it to its fullest extent."

>>345481928
>They don't want money then?
It's hoarder mentality taken to its logical extreme.
Every single fucking company that sits on an old title is specifically doing it to prevent other people from profiting on it, or ideas similar to it. Doing this creates legal hurdles that other companies need to spend time and money navigating in order to avoid stepping on the lawsuit landmine. This suppresses other companies financially with minimal effort.
Also, thanks to Disney's corporate jewgold-seeking behavior, by constantly "lobbying" the United States legal system for extensions of time in copyright law (read: the only copyright system that matters apparently) basically every single fucking "intellectual property" that's made by anyone will now last 90+ fuckin years, and will renew the moment they do something with it.
If a meteor hit and killed everyone, legally, Disney's last created movie property wouldn't be public domain until 21xx.You think i'm joking, but i'm NOT. This is the world we live in; filled with pseudo-monopolies.
> Shit will never be fucking public domain again.

Wasn't even the controls for me. The camera was fucking killer, quite literally. If that was fixed, honestly would've been a hidden gem. Whole atmosphere/world-building in the game is phenomenal.
>>345482854
Haven't played it either, mates were playing it, but for me it was nothing but Total Annihilation back then.
>>345473620
What can you expect from a 90s PC game? It's acceptable for what it is.
I usually don't play adventure games but pic related is fucking GOAT, actually made me tear up like a faggot a few times.
>>345480268
i literally have this game on my shelve here, original box dude
>>345482810
So instead of allowing another company to reproduce a game and earning royalties for doing nothing; they sit on the game because they could, potentially in the future, do this themself and earn all the money?
That in combination with the need to buy rights; left and right which will never get published is seriously fucked up. And if we consider that it would take 90 year before other companies could even try to get a public domain access many great gaming series will die, because they rather let it die in a cellar than selling the rights or even sell the right for one game of the franchise.
>>345483754went full retard, sorry
>>345483676
>The camera was fucking killer, quite literally.
I'd rather say the unskippable death animation.
>>345483103
Just make sure you don't die ever. I swear if I see that bitch on my death bed im gonna punch her in the face
>>345483806
>do this themself and earn all the money?
100% of the profits is more than 99%
welcome to unregulated capitalism.
>>345473353
oh I didn't know that, thats awesome
Also, first Empire Earth was great, probably best WW1/2 campaigns in any RTS.
The AI is utterly retarded, but it's still a great game.
Good memories on this one
>>345472495
I was surprised /v/ never made a connection to Ishameal and Max during the MGSV conspiracy threads.
>>345458228
So theres a bunch of versions of this now. What's the best one? GoG? Steam? IOS?
Ahem.
>>345484764
Steam shits itself for anything older than 5 years, GOG versions will run on everything
>>345478731
Sell me on the games anon
>>345484446
It's a shame that the game could support colossal armies when mercenary rushes were the tactic you would encounter 99% of the time.
>>345480815
I've heard it's supposed to have a great story, but how is it gameplay-wise? Playable? Hard to get into?
Guys, maybe you'll help me, there was a action adventure game where you were some kind royal or bodyguard, you woke up near some naked chick, got some training and then in the cutscene was poisoned after failed assasination atempt. You woke up in hospital, changed is some kind of monster (looking like werewolf) you could use from this point on skill that slowly changed you into a moster, i've been looking for this game for 5 years now...
>>345460370
Holy shit this game.
Fucking amazing, we need more games where it depends on you how many of your people survive and if they will appear in the next missions. You could actually build an attachment to some of your guys.
>>345485587
Dark Earth?
>>345485962
Holy shit yes, and some1 posted it before lol. Thanks mate
>>345472218
>-electric playground
>Never seen this being talked about
Fuck everything.
>>345486846
That game's sequel was fucking horrible, even if it continued that awesome spell system.
>>345455524
I love the game for what it is but I'm just too stupid/hyperactive for business simulators. will probably give it another try in the future.
>>345476169
what game is ?
>>345488073
Caesar III i think
>>345469674
I never played the scenarios or skirmishes, but I spent hundreds of hours in the comfy building mode
Hard West. Xcom on the wild west with a gritty as fuck history and atmosphere.
>>345469130
Aww snap, one of the best RTS ever.
>>345458237
Formations are, actually, *HUGELY* important. You script your armies, telling them where to stand and how to act and it makes a remarkable difference.
There were a lot of old underrated tycoon style games back in the day.
>>345479000
this game spooked me so much when I was a kid that I developed this weird fear that when I went to bed and opened my eyes, Boo would be there waiting for me to look at him so he can spook my balls off.
>>345488331
meh, it was alright. I kind of half regret paying $12 for it.
>>345484764
Jesus Christ don't get the Steam one
It doesn't allow you to have multiple saves, UI is shit and some features have been completely removed
This was the best platformer for the Genesis
it looks fucking gorgeous even today
Constructor, anyone?
Fuck that AI difficulty though.
>>345484810
Mah fucking nigga.
Still have to finish the first one, but Odyssey was and still is GOAT.
So much time spent just wandering around as a kid.
>>345484764
iOS version has a lot of new content but is annoying to play on a touch screen and less convenient to savescum, which you'll surely do after failing a heroquest and getting a council member killed despite having done everything perfectly
>>345485161
It is an older game, so don't expect any sort of handholding. The only directions are at the start of every chapter and even those can be vague. Explore everything, not only will you improve your skills, but you will also find items that you cannot buy normally. Combat is grid- and turn-based, which is also used for a variety of traps that you solve in the same layout as regular encounters. There are also lots of riddle boxes spread around the overworld, some pretty easy (mainly the ones for main quests) and others ridiculously hard.
Playing it blind first, then going for a 100% run feels incredibly satisfying.
>>345479468
no i loved it
>>345491036
I see, thank you.
i love this so much
Every time I mention this game to someone they haven't heard of it. Recently picked it up again and finished it after years and years and it's still brutal towards the end, very underrated.
Does anyone remember MDK?
>>345483867
April Ryan was one of my first crushes. Really fucking loved that game when it came out.
>>345491575
i remember playing that on the xbone port and thinking the controls were awful but i think my brother really liked it.
>>345491575
The OST of JFG is incredible. The composers of Rare were fucking talented.
SS Anubis, Sekhmet and Eschebone themes are in my head forever.
>>345491575
Do all the people you talk to happen to be 11 years old anon? Seriously it's one of Rare's best known pieces of work.
>>345492465
funny how it was called Sudden Strike in germany and Blitzkrieg everywhere else
literally reverse translation
>>345491575
Beanland/Norgate at their very best. No one else alive can pull that off on a 8MB cartridge. Very best OST on the N64, bar none.
>>345474430
>>345471765
Never met a single person whoalsobeat this game.
The gift of the precurssor being a bunch of new worlds for everyone to live in was a massive copt out.
This game is called hexplorer and I've never seen it posted anywhere. I can guarantee you wont get any result on any imageboard archive, I had to browse old games for hours to find it since there's a lot of things with similar names.
It's okay, one of the earliest rpg's using the voxel engine, with lots of characters and skills that works like items you find, fun but with little content and repetitive, it has great levels with puzzles and secrets. At the time it was a wonderful fucking incredible game to me though.
I just want to post it before I forget it exists again.
Good morning to you
Some low budget version of Valkyria Chronicles, was fun at the time though
>>345492465
I spent hundreds of hours in Sudden Strike's multiplayer. It's easily the best WW2 RTS I've ever played. I was in a clan doing 4 v 4, 6 v 6, absolutely fucking fantastic game. Awful single player- it didn't even have AI, just scripted waves when your units hit a certain part of the map. It was so cheaply cobbled together, and yet its aesthetic was absolutely 100% perfect. Truly a great game, I wish the community was still around.
>>345473070
check all games from that guy, prolly best cyberpunk games.
Dont play one with the ghost, its kindy shity,playable but no where near his scifi adventures
>>345493550

there is so much hidden gold on PC that even with almost 500 posts to this thread, almost none of it is mentioned
/v/ is literally a console peasant zone littered with neogaf and redditthis game is also available on PC and xbox, making it a microsoft exclusive. and part 2 is shit
>>345492192
heeeeeeeeeell yeah, first game i saw where you could blow someones head of, was fucking awesome
>>345494324
>only very few good games are posted
>posts exactly 1 (one)

>>345494324

>>345468862
All the servers are deader than E.Y.E.
Damn shame.
Mageslayer, made by Raven Software (Heretic, Hexen, etc.)
Fun, simple top-down hack-and-slash. Pretty short.

I remember this shit getting difficult early on, at least for kid me. Never got that far, but it was good for sure.
>>345494757
>>345495096
>>345495819
I'm sure we'll have another Lego games thread sometime soon
>>345495626
