Game Recommendation Anonymage 05/23/23 (Tue) 12:40:02 No.59973 [Reply]

In this thread, ask other wizards for game recommendations.

I'm starting a new thread to look for wizards who played lots of city building games. I'm looking to get immersed in one of those games and I mean I want to completely forget this world exists. I don't have a preference for theme, though I would prefer not to play anything medieval. However if you played ton of these games and the one you think it's the best happens to be medieval themed I don't mind, let me know. Thanks in advance.

I *loved* Simcty 3000's vibe and loved to play with in-game existing cities a lot

Same for me, although Age of Empires was ebin too

Free, low-spec PC games Anonymage 12/23/22 (Fri) 22:00:12 No.60636 [Reply]

The best pаge on the Wizchan Wiki was the list of frеe gаmes, ոеarly all of which were low-spec and could be easily downloаdеd without bloаtwarе softwarе mаոagеrs such as Stеam.

any recommendation is welcome.

I'm looking for games from the 2000s and before 2010, mainly. But are free to recommend.

These are my PC specs:
Windows 10
4GB RAM
Intel Celeron CPU N3050 @ 1.60 GHz (2 cores)

I wanted to play .hack//G.U., but my PC is crap and can’t handle the PS2 emulator.

I'm looking for games with a good story, dark humor, and absurdity (I hate using that term, but I can't think of a better one). I’m into JRPGs like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and .hack//G.U. — I haven’t actually played any of those, but they’ve always caught my attention kek.

To give you an idea of my taste, here are some games I like:

>Bioshock 1 & Infinite
>Manhunt 1
>DMC 3
>Postal 1
>Katana Zero

Deus Ex
C&C Renegade (it's campy as hell)
Farcry 1 (weird fun balance between camp and serious)
The modern PC ports of FF7-FF9 should work for you
FF6 SNES Emulated is quite good
King's Quest: Mask of Eternity

I'd suggest that Godhand is worth trying the emulator again if you liked DMC

Another outlier would be Silver, which tried to be FF7 and a street brawler, didn't quite manage either but showed the idea had merit.

And because it's from the era and an important landmark, Grim Fandango.

That's basically point and click adventures in a nutshell. Try out pic related but also other classics like Full Throttle, Monkey's Island, Sam&Max. These games have surprisingly good writing are full of dark humor and absurd ways to solve problems are often the only way to progress. so if you are accurate in your self assessment you should be loving these games. They also run on a potato.

as someone who plays mutliple gacha games daily they are everything wrong with modernity, it's super short attention span with new characters getting released weekly to keep you interested, everything is live service slop to milk as much money out of you as possible and there is something truely sinister people finding community on what is essentially a glorified gambling app, I see so much community art and engaged and people feeling like they belong somewhere on a corporate chinese waifu slop people are finding communities on zenless instead of church and this is exactly why I hate modernity and how gacha is a manfiestation of that

We're wizards. We would only be tolerated without full acceptance in a church or other physical third spaces for normalfags. The digitalization of communities may be alienating for most of humanity but it is an improvement for outcast nerds who don't belong. Not that even we can be easily accepted in online communities but it is better than having to talk to random normalfags from your town. If you don't like a chinese gambling game community there are many other communities online that is a product of modernity.

Games to play forever Anonymage 03/10/25 (Mon) 16:21:38 No.62291 [Reply]

The older I get, the narrower my taste in games becomes. It isn't for lack of trying, either. I constantly download new shit, but nothing ever sticks. I've come to the conclusion that there is an incredibly small handful of games actually worth playing and almost all of them are made by Nintendo, Blizzard, id Software or Capcom. If I had to name a few in no particular order:
>Diablo 2
>StarCraft
>WarCraft 3
>Ocarina of Time
>Resident Evil 4
>DOOM
>Quake 3
All of these games are 10/10 solid gold classics with endless gameplay and lively communities. Playing anything else just feels like buying store brand, what are your eternally playable games?

Skyrim (even the vanilla game but especially modded), Terraria, the Rune Factory games

I've been playing jet set radio future a lot just to chill out. Bomb Rush got very close and I'm looking for its sequel, but something was just missing from it. I've also been going through a lot of older games to play. Finished Majora's mask cause I never finished it as a kid (OoT is better), now playing Skies of Arcadia and it seems pretty good so far, just got to Sailors island. I do wanna play blizzards old catalogue again someday, I was very in to Warcraft 2/3 and starcraft. I'm afraid to try Starcraft 2 to be disappointed tho.

Winning Eleven 2002 (PlayStation) is the one that comes to mind, at least for me as a major football/soccer fan, and fan of the 5th console generation, retro in general. It's the peak in gameplay from that generation, the core that every title in the genre had as the stardard from that point onwards, and it's still getting free patches/mods from fans for pretty much any competition you'd like to play, with the actual teams, squads, stadiums, tactics and kits! It's cool to see and I'd rather play this than EA or eFootball.
