the most oppressed minority

Y'all know how Desert Island works? Pick the games that you would pick if you had to play those games for the rest of your life. Just to keep it simple, let's just imagine that if you want to pick an online game that the servers will always be online and there will always be people to play with. Let's limit ourselves to 10 games.

I will start, of course.

• Unreal Tournament
• Pavlov (Or Counterstike, same thing pretty much)
• Beat Saber
• Dwarf Fortress
• The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
• LittleBigPlanet
• Super Smash Bros. (Iunno which one, Ultimate I guess. Or project M) -Super Street Fighter III 3rd Strike
• Elite Dangerous
• Lovely Planet (I'm probably the only super fan for this game lol)

Yes, lots of games that have a high skill ceiling or near infinite potential. I would love to see you guys' lists.

I googled a bit (admittedly without much heart) and I didn't find any active sim groups that play as anything but war crimin- I mean NATO. So this leads to me asking here if any of you know of any active groups for mostly Arma 3 who focus on playing operations as the opposing forces to NATO? If not, would there be interest in forming such a group among us? It doesn't have to be big, my dream isn't full 60 count servers but a basic crew of maybe 4 to 8 people that can play occasionally would be lovely.

In all seriousness, everything Edmund McMillen touches is gold.

I can't wait till lemmy gets federated so I can just crosspost cause I just took this post from chapo.

Apart from the obvious pro-US/anti-DPRK propaganda freight train of wank this game is, I'd only really consider playing this solely because the POV of a citizen militia fighting inside of an occupied zone is pretty swell. I do suppose the silver lining is that this game got me into roleplaying in HL2:DM/GMod, often also a militia fighting an occupying military through the use of guerilla tactics. That and I have played the shit out of Wolfenstein: TNO and Red Faction: Guerilla (the latter where you're quite overtly setting off a proletariat revolution on Mars against a militarized settler-colonial state). On the flip side, any other games with similiar overtones?

I played Bioshock for the first time kind of recently, own Bioshock 2, but really wanna get to Infinite.

Which one has better writing?

Comments on post about israeli tanks reminded me of this. Also, of course, that USAF recruits gamers directly on social media and with their drone simulator game. Great video though, please check it out.

If conservatives were roleplayers

The IMI Galil 5.56 ARM is named the "IDF Defender", which is the reason it's only available to T side

Freeman: Guerilla warfare 0.171

I’ve been watching this game since it was first announced, filled with anticipation for the wonderland of a game the devs described. What’s been released, however, is questionable. Although most of its issues are with it being early access, such as glitches, placeholder sounds and graphics, very few settings options, non-working features, random lag, and so on and so on.

The influences are obvious with this game. In the world view and the inventory screen, it’s quite obviously a Mount and Blade clone. However when in combat it’s hard to tell if it’s Total War, or Arma III.

The gameplay reminds me of games from the early 2000s, with the random lack of polish and extremely angular looking animations. Your objective as a revolutionary commander is to dominate the world against 4 factions, meanwhile, you grow your military might by recruitment or propaganda. The game really provides a feeling that victories are mine. With third-person real-time strategy controlling my army in battle against my foes and through first-person shooting, putting myself right in the action. The potential this game brings is thicc, however, there’s still plenty of gameplay issues. Doors and stairs just don’t exist, all of the sights are impossible to use, there’s only one audio clip that hardly counts as music, and the UI isn’t intuitive whatsoever. I needed to look up a tutorial and use cheats just to get far enough in the game to write a review, and by the gods this game’s textures are garbage. As well, at the moment, there’s absolutely no story to be gotten from playing the game. I absolutely love games that let me fill in the blanks, as that allows for really fun roleplay, however, Freeman gives the player zero story reason to be doing as they are expected to. Mount and Blade can take hours out of my day and have me entirely enthralled thinking about what I’m going to do next, because the story is laid out fairly but vague enough for the player to put their own reasoning forwards. The player could invade all of Calradia and feel a sense of reason, whereas Freeman’s world is unnamed, none of the enemy leaders exist, there’s not really any real quests, diplomacy is pointless, I really felt as though my motivation to rule the world was one of chaos rather than revolution. I do find the RPG system to be very refreshing in a market filled with milestone levelling shooters and “everything’s the same because IRL levelling isn’t real” military sims. However, the levelling system could use some work, namely being quicker to use, and it could be a little more weighty on the overall experience. It’s completely possible to only put points into Constitution, and feel the same as if you put points into everything but Constitution.

I give the game four Lenins out of a possible ten, the game’s shortcomings cripple it. KK Studios needs to do kilometres of polish before the game is anywhere near where the potential would lend it. I will definitely be playing more, and might review again after the full release. All in all, however, did get to liberate the world for communist powers 4 times.

It would be very helpful if y’all would suggest games for me to review, I’m wanting to play every single game in existence with communists in the plot, even if the commie is vague or only implied. Look forwards to more of these.

Thank you, I've been Heck

Mine is probably Sekiro. I really dislike the story being about feudal Japan and the main character being the grunt for a privileged asshole but the combat and bosses are so good. I don't think any game will ever top that.

To see how good the game is, compare it to J*di Knight: Fallen Order, which is essentially meant to be a clone of Sekiro but is so lacklustre in comparison.

I was reading some shit about Orwell today and I remembered about that broforce game. I remember playing the demo (or the beta, the free version) a few years ago and I was legit thinking about getting the game despite all the pratiotic usian bullshit because I thought the game was cool, I legit liked the plataform/shooting and the different mechanics for each character. But then, at the end of demo the game asks you if you interested in buying the full game and there was three options, basically yes, no and "money is for capitalist pigs"... When I saw that I thought "oh no, this is gonna be some dumb meme", but no, it was worse. The option opened a amazon list of Orwell's Animal Farm... When I saw that I was like "okay, we're done here" and never played that shit again. It's incredible that some indie developer can spill some shitty propaganda like that.
