The point is to get super high and hang out on toxic planets for the trippy colors.
The point is to spend hours travelling across the universe looking for an Earth-like planet, with green grass, blue skies and relatively safe temperatures, instead of just going outside in real life.
I'd love it if Secret World (preferably the original release, not Legends) was a singleplayer RPG instead of the half-assed MMORPG that it was. You could lower the enemy density and respawns, maybe add some computer-controlled party members Guild Wars 1 style, and it would be the dopest thing ever. The lore, vibe, and worldbuilding in this game is immaculate, it's just a shame it's strapped to an MMO framework.
Total War Warhammer 1/2/3! I hate RTS combat. If these games were turn based they'd be amongst my most played.
A civ 40k would be awesome!
For the record you can auto complete the battles and just play them as turned based strategy games with no tactical component. That may or may not be what you're looking for, but just figured I'd let you know.
Yeah, I know. It's barely even half a game at that point though so what's the point?
Does wishing that Final Fantasy would return to its roots and be a turn-based JRPG again count?
If you want something echoing back to the og, I found the 4 heros of light very fun. I replay it once every few years or so. Also, it is the scaffolding that bravely default was built with
"I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG" said an SE exec at some point, apparently.
Crisis core worked surprisingly well!.
I'm one of these weird people that actually prefer it as an ARPG.
I just wish it was a good one.
did you give bravely default a shot?
Yup, and I'd even say that the best FF is the one that SE was too afraid to put the FF name on. I just wish it wasn't relegated to being a lower budget B-list project, imagine if SE put the same kinds of full AAA resources behind this that they put on the FF7 'remake'.
That's what I was here to post.
Quite a few games as a service games look like they could have been turned into interesting single player story based games if, you know, someone bothered to write a story for it.
Brink for example had fantastic art assets and back story, but no actual story.
Yeah, there have been a bunch of extraction shooter style games that I would play the shit out of if they just weren't extraction shooters.
Jesus fucking Christ, why did Marathon have to suffer that fate?
Welcome to Tarkov
The Endless games have such fucking dope ass lore and it makes me wish there was any kind of RPG where we could get more intricate lore instead of just the grand, sweeping stuff.
Like, how do the average Riftborn cope? What was it like for individual Vaulters to retuen to the stars? What's it like day to day in Broken Lord society?
So many awesome things to explore and the vistas would be stunning! I really hope Amplitude gives us one someday. But they're still fantastic 4x games with great music and top tier artwork. If you're a 4x, definitely go try them! Just don't expect Civ.
I'll say it, Mega Man X7 should have been purely 2D.
I feel like the genres of Warhammer 40K games are all over the place. Last year they put out a racing game.
I felt this way about Eastward and Pyre. Both were beautiful games, amazing art, well written characters, excellent soundtracks, but the actual gameplay didn't grab me.
