Are there any simulators that are so immersive that it parallels real life? Like flying simulators, space simulators, etc. Those that require actual skill in flying, planning, and mathematics.
Something really hardcore would be awesome. Also, something that lets you freely play without a real goal if needed, since you would need to get a grasp of the game and immerse yourself.

i'm playing the yakuza series right now. it's good. i am having an excellent time my dudes.
if you have no idea what to expect from these games,
just imagine like Miami Vice, Scarface, The Godfather, something like that, but translated directly to a video game. there's a whole lot of talking, cinema cliches, ultra violence, and a protagonist that is pretty unfitting and oddly humane and ethical so the audience can sympathize and self-insert.
play on the hardest difficulty available every time unless you enjoy turning your brain off like the retarded mobile phone playing japanese retard that's the primary consumer of these.
if you own a ps4: start with 0 or kiwami. 0 is a prequel to 1, and kiwami is a remake of 1 (that's loads better than the original, i'm going to be honest). a remake of 2 is coming out soon as well.
if you don't own a ps4: emulate 1 and 2 with a ps2 emulator. there are undub ISO's you can download to avoid the shitty english voice acting.
i have been hesitant to play this for years because personally i find japan's romanticizing of these nigger slime to be disgusting. yakuza all deserve to be buried in shallow graves. but thus far, the game has depicted them as psychopathic, superficial, backstabbing children that prey on their own communities and make everyone's life shit. which is true to reality. so i am okay with it.

For anyone who has never played it, I fully recommend Arcanum: Of Steamwork and Magick Obscure.
I played this so many times in my teens. It's an RPG which takes place in a world where magic and technology exist alongside one another, though not always comfortably. There are Elves, Men, Orcs, Dwarves and dozens of beasts lurking in the wild to assault you.
You gain XP as you complete missions both major and minor, some for the sake of the narrative and some for the sake of enjoyment or experience. You essentially opt to become a "magic type" by learning spells, potions and such or a "technological type" by learning to use guns, producing mechanical traps and so forth. You can attract a small group of followers, including a stray dog you save from being beaten up (if you know where to find him in time). You battle zombies, wraiths, goblins, giant spiders, dark elves and tons more.
The central plot is that the zephyr on which you were travelling crashes after being attacked by two planes. You are the sole survivor of this crash, and discovering you there among the wreckage is a guy who belongs to a religion which believes you to be the Chosen One (cliched I know) prophesied to rise from the ashes etc. You fight your way to a nearby town, where the guy's teacher, a senior wizard, has been forced to flee after being attacked at the inn. From there on in you and your buddy travel across the (giant) map, visiting the modern city of Tarant, the ancient and dishevelled kingdom of Dernholm, the small mountain village of Stillwater, and several others towns and cities, each with its own character and set of mysteries to solve.
The atmosphere of the game is rather bleak, and the soundtrack (available on youtube) is very melancholy which I absolutely love. Although it may appear dated to younger players, I find its basic aesthetic to be quiet comfortable and underwhelming.
If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, you probably will enjoy it.
No.41227
>>41224Arcanum is a very flawed game that's really worth playing only if good writing is enough for you to put up with horrid gameplay (and we're talking about writing that's not as good as Planescape with combat quite significantly worse than it) and graphics that were pretty poor even at the time. It's a good game but I'm not sure if I would recommend it for most people, it appeals only to a fairly small niche audience that values writing over everything else, and at that point really you might as well go for a gamebook.

No.41230
>>41227In what way is the gameplay "horrid" (unless you forgot to enable the turn-based mode, that is)? It's pretty typical for rpgs of that generation.
My literally only problem with Arcanum was the stupid ally AI.
No.41246
>>41227What's wrong with the gameplay? You can either fight in turn-based mode or in live action mode (which I prefer).
In my opinion it is one of very few games which creates a world which is both recognizably mundane (and therefore realistic) and also full of interesting detail, an awesome backstory, a great sense of humour (the character names etc) and much more besides. And the fact that you can complete the game having only completed around 30% of the available tasks / missions is great IMO as it allows so much to be discovered. For example, rescuing the group of Iron Clan dwarves trapped by dark creatures in their mine kingdom is the result of several other smaller missions, each irrelevant to the main narrative. Or discovering the location of Magnus's ancestral home and watching his delight as he finds out that he isn't just some wandering, rootless, pathetic dwarf by an ancestor to a great dwarf kingdom. Or breaking into the prisons at Dernholm and talking to the various inmates and becoming a master lock-picker by doing so if that's what you've been training yourself to become. It's just an awesome game. And it also develops your moral compass IMO. I first played it in my early teens, and again and again you are forced to analyze a situation and decide what is the moral thing to do, even though it isn't always clear. And your decision affects your narrative from that moment onwards (e.g. whether you help the priest in Shrouded Hills destroy the machine, or report him to the police for asking you). I must admit that one time I saved the game and then decided I would just travel around Tarant to see how many NPCs I could take out before my small posse was annihilated. But when I started doing that I felt immense guilt and shame, and loaded the game immediately to my restore point.
No.41247
>>41230>>41246It simply doesn't work both neither in turn-based nor real-time. It's horribly unbalanced and has a ton of weird or downright bad design decisions, some things make it break down completely (harm), lack of the ability to command your AI leads to many clusterfuck situations, displayed to-hit percentages are completely busted, I could go on for hours. I have never really seen anyone defend Arcanum's combat before, from my experience just about everyone agrees that it ranges from barely adequate to gamebreaking depending on character build and personal tolerance for bullshit. Troika could seemingly either do good writing with bad gameplay (arcanum and VtMB) or good gameplay but shitty writing (ToEE), never both.

Arx Fatalis has a unique rune-based magic system, barely any customization though but it is a great game. If you like turn-based combat I guess Divinity: Original Sin also qualifies, you can do some very fancy elemental combos pretty much every fight and there is a lot of spells. If you're okay with a roguelike Tales of Maj'Eyal has some pretty fucking crazy spellcasting classes - chronomancers, psionics, celestials who literally use the sun and moon to burn their enemies, all sorts of wacky and fun shit.

No.41336
>>41335Something to keep in mind though is that while DnD mages get stupidly powerful by the end they're not exactly good nor very fun for a significant while.

Kid Dracula is one of my favorites, also for the GB. Levels are fun to explore and there's actually quite a challenge in some of them. You mentioned you want cute so Trip World is a must try, though I think you might know that one already. For the SNES you have Melfand Stories, two titles, again, worth checking out if you're looking after cute, but those titles are more arcadey in nature. If you're interested in some platforming with puzzles, Samurai Kid is pretty good. Finally on the Sega side you have Tails Adventure for the Game Gear.

What are your favorite puzzle games wizzies? I've played some of the popular ones like Portal, Talos Principle, and some of the Zachtronics games (which were too hard for me to beat fully, but I'm proud of how far I got anyway). I also played the Layton games up to Last Specter, and Puzzle Agent.

Are there any other games with light social/dating sim elements like the s. links and free time in Persona and Trails of Cold Steel, that also have a similar comfy setting (by which I mean a town/school you can explore)? Seems like the only games I can find that have something similar all have terrible settings and atmosphere or are entirely menu driven VN style in towns.

Games with a good story and characters?
AND/OR
Games that have given you a strong emotional reaction?
I finished my 2nd playthrough of Mother 3 a week ago and I can't think of any games I could play next that could match the level of storytelling. I somehow felt very sentimental at the end of the game (which is how I felt at the end of Mother 2 as well), which rarely happens to me.
To give you an idea of the type of games I'm looking for, here's some that I've already played that do it for me:
- Chrono Trigger
- BioShock
- Deus Ex
- Half Life 2
- Star Wars KOTOR 1 + 2
- Psychonauts
I would really appreciate it if you could share some titles! Any genres or years are fine, though I have a preference for games that are for PC or for console games that can be emulated on PC.

If you liked Bioshock you can't go wrong with System Shock.
EYE: Divine Cybermancy it's a amazing and weird rpg/shooter made with Half Life's 2 engine.
Pathologic has some of the best writing I've ever seen, really weird and unique game, if you like it you can also try The Void, by the same studio (Icepick lodge).
Planescape Torment also has great writing, but you'll have to deal with walls upon walls of text, and stay the hell away from the "sequel".
Other games with great plot imo are: Max Payne 1 and 2 (there's a third one but it's way too different); Legacy of Kain games, specially Soul Reaver; Mafia; Silent Hill 1-4.

What are games like this called? Is it an RPG? I have an xbox 360 but only played like 5 games on it so I want to try another one.

I want to devote most of my attention to what is being said in podcast, so the game can't have dialogue, much of a story, or text that could distract me from that. In other words, it has to be visually entertaining, but mindless in all other accounts.

>>45731Fire Pro World is perfect for what you are after!
Many people buy the various Fire Pro games not even to play the games themselves but simply watch and sim the matches because the AI/logic system is so good.
If you are like many Wizards out there you are probably either a fan of anime or comic books or other fantasy literature/characters, etc.
So just saying you can go to the Steam Workshop for Firepro or hell just create your favorite fantasy characters yourself if you want and set them up to fight using logic you expertly program into them and then set up a CPU Vs. CPU match and see who wins.
You can make the ring look however you want to along with the turnbuckles (corner pads) and change the color of the ropes, etc and not only that you can have whatever background music you are willing to download or use from your existing MP3 library for it.
So yeah just pointing out Fire Pro World isn't exclusive to needing to use real life or created wrestlers.
You can literally use or create any kind of character that you want.
When the AI/logic is programmed well enough matches can sometimes go for a long time like say 60 minutes or longer but thats usually a rarity and the in game clock runs a bit fast so the real time when it goes 60 minutes is more like 30 minutes but just saying the game has a lot of fun and intrigue to offer and most important of all vast customizeability.
There's mods out there that can make it even better.

I played only a handful of games throughout my life, preferring to stick to a few primarily multiplayer games. Most of them lost their playerbase, were patched and changed to hell by the developers or simply became stale to me. I have nothing to play now, I lack clear reference points I can rely on to find games I can potentially like, I don't want to spend money on games and after having accustomed to Steam I feel rather uncomfortable downloading games off smaller/public torrent sites that don't verify their uploads for viruses and other bullshit. I could give emulation a try, I thoroughly enjoyed playing vidya that I missed out on as a kid.
To sum it up, I'm looking for a game that:
- Isn't demanding in terms of system requirements
- Focuses more on action/combat, requires active player input, basically everything that isn't strategy/RPG, I guess; although I did enjoy Mario & Luigi games very much because of the dodging/parrying mechanics.
- Isn't set in a Fantasy/Medieval setting
- Is relaxing, you can zone out and play
- Is atmospheric
* Can be from older consoles (4-6 Gen, preferably)
* Offers Metroidvania-style free exploration, preferably
* Is Singleplayer, preferably
I'd also love to hear Torrent sites wizards recommend downloading games from. I'm registered on Playbits, but from what I've gathered the way things are done there is you upload whatever and no verification is done apart from the rating system, so I fear there might be malware, same goes for Piratebay. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to technology, so forgive me if I'm wrong or excessively paranoid.

No.46225
>>46214>or excessively paranoid.That's perfectly normal and healthy when it comes to pirating stuff in 2019. There were always viruses on torrent sites but there weren't as many as nowadays since when it came to being a pirate reputation means everything because why else would you redistribute cracked or stolen software when you can keep it hush and for yourself? Cracked game false positives for instance. Since games and their DRM is changing and becoming more intricate it's no longer about changing a few lines in an exe and giving it out with the game data or separately where as someone distributing viruses would need to stuff it inside or replace it which makes it easier to detect or call out so they will have no rep and nobody will even bother trying to download it unless they were total newbs and didn't know how to use a torrent site or find torrents. Now when you crack a game you must actively poke around and change a lot of things in order to reverse engineer and get it to work without DRM or bypass it e.g Steam cracks with their .dlls and so forth. This in itself means that there's more ways to hide viruses like trojans, keyloggers, cryptominers and ransomware some which can even bypass most modern anti-virus software because they could've been made by military speciliasts usually from countries like Iran or China that aim to make a quick buck off or make use of infected machines. A good example is Capcom's Resident Evil 2(2019) and how many popular torrents from known scene groups tend to have odd false positives and how some people comment their PCs acting weird while others claim they don't notice anything. However you may find some game companies tend to strip DRM after a while either because it was cracked but it impeded game performance like Bethesda's Doom (2016) for paying customers or just because they don't like DRM like most game companies that use GoG - Good Old Games as a publisher which is the one place where you can buy old and new DRM-free games that you can burn on discs but also a way to procure them for free from torrent sites like The Piratebay. GoG games do not require any crack or manipulation so they're 99% of the time free of any viruses and trickery unlike most newly released games that have DRM in them. GoG games also come with goodies like music,avatars, game manuals etc. So check around
https://www.gog.com/ find a game you like and search for it on TPB.
If you were wondering how GoG makes money well people tend to buy their games because it means less DRM released games in the future which aren't impeded by perfomance issues or "always-online" idiocy. As you can see a lot of people are paying up since they're still in business so you don't really need to support them or feel bad for pirating their stuff. In fact I think Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be the most "pirated" game of all time even tho there won't be any copy-protection on it in the first place.

No.46293
>>46047I'll second the recs the other 2 guys gave you.
Monster Hunter is really good and possible to play singe player in most games. World however might not necessarily have as much content until the new DLC comes out in a few months. So you would have to buy the base game + that.
Besides that you could try the earlier games that have G rank, Freedom Unite you could easily spend hundreds of hours on. 3U and 4U, also both good. You could try XX on the switch, I am not sure how much content that has since I haven't played it, but I imagine it's similar.
Warriors series is also really good. I've mostly played the Samurai Warriors series. 1 is good but it doesn't have a ton of content and the character/stage variety is pretty limited. 2 and 2XL are the best of the series IMO, good mix of difficulty with character and stage variety. 3 and 4 have more content but they're not as difficult.
For Empires I've only played Samurai Warriors Empires 2, it was good but I don't know remember it having that much content. Maybe 3 and 4 have more.
For Dynasty Warriors I've only tried 8XL, but I'd say that definitely has enough to keep you occupied for over 100 hours.
The rest of the warriors series I haven't tried.
To a certain degree all these are kind of repetitive, they will involve you hunting the same monsters or playing the same stages again at increasing stages of difficulty to get materials for armor and weapons (in the case of Monster Hunter) or rarer weapons and items (in the case of Warriors games). But if you're okay with that you'll probably like them.
No.46295
>>46293Personally I prefer the Empires versions because I'm not stuck with limited number of stages like with Sengoku Basara, I prefer endless placement possibilities to the same historical placements, Xtreme mode from XL expansions and the castle modes were great too oh and the create a warrior (CAW) is quite addicting too (not in SW2E though that game had other things to make it entertaining like the events among historical charas, the formation gimmick and others)
