The game features an economy with flowing resources much like total annihilation and the unit diversity is important.

I have a boring taste in games tbh, & sometimes I don't play a lot. What I play most of the time is; Rimworld, SimCity 4, Sims 2, CK2, Victoria II, HOI4 (Mostly for Kaiserreich), Darkest Hour, EU4,Stellaris, & Touhou stuff.I used play two MMOs quite a while back, but I have since left. That was Star Trek Online & Star Wars The Old Republic.Games that I play not so very often are, Sins of a Solar Empire, & any of the STALKER games (Have all of them).

Are there any games like Victoria 2 but try to actually model socialist economics?If you're familiar with Vicky 2, when a country turns socialist or communist in the game, capitalists no longer invest in industry and taxes are set to 50% minimum for all wealth groups including capitalist and aristocrats who shouldn't even exist as an economic class.Also I like the Tropico series as a state capitalist simulator (that gave up on private property after poorly implementing a little in Tropico 4), but it would be nice if there was a capitalist simulator where you couldn't control the economy directly and where you can turn the economy into a state capitalist one and eventually move away from the for profit capitalist commodity form.

>>72465Maybe. My main objection is just that it's usually in the libshit anti-French revolution vein, like Bioshock Amerimutt, where the only two options ever are pluralistic but corrupt and inefficient "democracy" or efficient (but so necessary!) totalitarianism. It's just the lazy perpetuation of sterile bourgeois ideology. With Frostpunk you basically have the destruction of capitalism and the expansion of a universal proletariat due to every individual's labor being necessary for everyone's survival. I find it really hard to believe that new political organizations and ideologies wouldn't arise in the face of a global Frigocaust, or that they'd be utterly dystopian in nature.

>>73645I'm probably misremembering, because I think you're right about it being either a militarized authoritarian state or a theocracy. I honestly haven't played it in a while due to a massive hdd failure.I'm just complaining about the general tendency for there to be no possibility of successful, pro-social political alternatives in bourgeois fiction. The options usually tend to be some sort of authoritarianism, be it military or theocratic or whatever, libshit democracy (which is almost always shown to be terrible "but better than the alternative"), and anything different if portrayed as idealistic utopianism doomed to fail because whatever its ideals, it always devolves into authoritarianism anyway (a la the revolutionaries in Bioshock).It isn't like the tone of the game doesn't warrant that kind of pessimism, I just think it's a tired bourgeois take.

Meanwhile the fascsit tree lets you literally get wargoals against all of south america or claim like half of north and west africa. Like look at practically every single tree they've made so far. The only country where going commnist is both the most practical AND most fun is Mexico.

Not to mention most of the Dutch national focus tree already involves taking over Blegium or allying with them in some form, which straight up makes a unique focus tree for them pointless. Countries like Greece, Bulgaria, Iran and Iraq all had relatively interesting stuff happening in this time period. The reason I'm convinced that we'll see a Greek tree is because of the supression/occupation rework, especially now that armoured cars were reveaed to also be tied to this mechanic. The greek partisan movement, along with the free french and tito were the most important liberation movement in Europe. Also the Metaxas dictatorship is fascinating part of history, at least for me and I'd love it if it was better represented in the game.

I used to think its the worst Fromsoft game after it chewed me and my old-gen PC with Guardian Ape and Spirit Monk. But after Elden Ring I said to myself "fuck it, one more try", played it from the start with good framerate this time and… Its the best Fromsoft game. It is amazingly fun to do the parry duels, and it feels really rewarding. I think to an extent I might just had something click in my head (literally didn't rage a single time, even though Owl, Owl (Father) and Demon of Hate all killed me at 1% health/poise on them left once), because now I love this game. Still think its bullshit how finite some consumables are, but that wasn't too much of a biggie, since I pracitcally didn't use any of them outside of pellets and flasks. And it really felt good that I managed to beat the final set of bosses without much issues. One-shotting True Corrupted Monk after being forced to learn for a good few dozen on Owl (Father) was insanely rewarding. Now the game is my new stressball as I give in a few shots at the chalange modes from time to time. I hope one day they port Bloodborne to PC, because I also used to look down on it for seeming too fast, but after Sekiro I'd really love to give it a shot.

I did massive nuclear power investment rather than renewables, the technology just isn't there at the game start (or IRL) for a massive renewables push. I also did all types of curriculum other than consumerist, not sure if that helped to get the population on side. I got a shitload of political power from getting rid of fossil fuel energy generation (like 350 in one turn which let me accelerate research into everything) but I kept on using fossil fuels for cars/planes/etc until I banned/electrified those.
Also I did meat free mondays, then flexitarian, then mandatory vegetarianism, then mandatory veganism within 25 years. It would have been impossible to achieve emissions reduction without it. I eventually got under 1 degree of warming in 2065. Oh and I also made a space colony and space elevator so that's cool. Everyone loved me except the authoritarian, malthusian, and consumerist.
I also had the 'Earth Liberation Front' kick off under my tenure and do a couple attacks but literally I saved the planet and all animals, fuck off, just because I didn't go anprim.
No.17922
>>17894Thanks for the rec. I beat it on my third try or so. I guess if living until the end is beating it. I don't really know what the game was mad at me about because I had cut emissions to zero. I researched every technology and did every policy except for the space and bioshpere ones.
It actually needs to be a lot harder, because once you get over the initial hump strategy doesn't matter at all.
This is what you do.
Invest just 1 point into all the technologies you think are useful. Just 1 point so you can start researching as many as possible and because they don't start counting down until you activate them with that single point. When the research finishes during a five year plan, you get 5 extra points. Next main thing you're going to want to get down point wise is the emissions. Contentedness keep in the safe zone. I eventually had temperature heading down as well, I think that's highly dependent on the emissions and only the cloud technology decreases temperature. You'll get a little cooling bonus from a volcano usually somewhere mid game I think. With fuel and energy take them out of the highest emissions sources and spread them to the lower emissions sources, because it seems to me they have a rate that they build, so if you dump it all into one source, you'll have electricity shortages. I don't really understand what the shortages even did though, because I had high contentedness and shortages. But I didn't even figure out some of these mechanics and I still beat it. Oh yeah and as far as the political power points. As you know, you get that one second life refill with the 50 points. I'd say beginning it's going to be better to spend all the points. You shouldn't have a negative plan that cycle. I'd say do what you do until you get saved by the hero, then maybe save that 50 for a few more cycles, then research plans start coming in and you start getting a lot of extra points, plus the positive effects of those researches and infrastructure.
So considering you're probably going to be able to complete nearly every research and infrastructure and policy by end game, eventually strategy doesn't really matter at all because you'll start getting 100s of political power points every cycle.

So I realize you have to do all regions at once, and I seem to have enough money from tobin taxing china/latin america, to fund research and I learned to country-jog that to not waste years. But it seems I need to target policies for reducing resource usage better. For example coal is clearly the number one prob in China. Reforestation clearly a priority in Latin America. I am wary about aerosols and tend not to use them at all. Is this the missing thing? How do you use them if at all?

Also don't do all renewables right at the start because you don't have good battery tech/smart grids/etc so you can't supply the population well enough. You need to do nuclear at the start and then you can transition to solar/wind later if you want to (I didn't bother personally cause nuclear is gucci, though obviously uranium would run out at some point so if there's no fusion then you would have to switch eventually).

I've heard the unofficial patch makes it easier so Im trying to beat the game vanilla first.
No.18275
>>18258It's weird because from what I remember, the game was easier when it first came out, then got harder after subsequent updates and seemed more buggy. Perhaps they messed up the code trying to add the later DLC expansion.
>>18259When I say bugs I mean more like stuff behind the scenes, that is effects not working correctly in the simulation, for example apparently flooding of coastal regions decreases economic activity and so on, but doesn't decrease energy use and so on correspondingly due to the reduced activity, which means that when the economy recovers to the previous level, emissions will be a lot higher.
>>18259Yes, I've been playing it for like 3 hours now, doing the original 3 degrees scenario, and it definitely seems easier, or at least more predictable. I feel the guy making the patch may have taken a few too many bold steps in redesigning parts of the game. For example, he made you get all political, energy, welfare etc offices for free in all countries on the second turn, which seems a bit unbalanced to me. Also, the fact that all mechanical inputs are displayed is sort of nice, but also kind of takes the mystique out of the game and hurts immersion. Overall though, it's nice that random economic crashes and famines seem much less common, I haven't had either so far. But that also seems a bit too easy. Some of the most impactful times of the game were the famine events, but at the same time, the systems or issues that caused the famines were often very opaque and you wouldn't really know what the issue was unless you were REALLY paying attention.
TLDR: I think the unofficial patch has the right idea to make the game a bit less challenging/seemingly broken but went a bit too far in the other direction to making it to predictable/easy.

No.18953
>>18917Overall, the interface is terrible, the tutorial is terrible, but the game itself feels like it could be pretty fun. However, the other factions didn't really fight back any so it felt a little too easy to achieve global dominance. I managed to control Greater Russia and the USA/Mexico without anyone doing anything to stop me, which felt a little weak. Also, I barely encountered any aliens, other than seeing them constantly come to Earth and slam their ships into it, they didn't even attack any of the space stations/bases I built. It seems like the only way to 'fight back' is to build spaceships in orbit, which takes several years at least to set up. Since the demo has no save function, it's hard to get to that point, I just quit now after playing for about 6 hours and still wasn't particularly close to making any, though to be fair a lot of that time was wasted with not really understanding the mechanics.
For some reason screenshots won't attach to this post but I made a Eurasian Union with all of Russia's allies, and the EU basically fell apart because the other factions kept pushing the countries they controlled into leaving. I wasted a lot of time trying to make Russia bigger, not just cause I'm a crazy Duginist but I just wanted to have a bigger unified base to operate from, and reduce my administrative burden. I made a bunch of space stations and even a base on the Moon but they all were just using the starting labs so not that useful. I should have spent a lot less research time/energy on pursuing the 'New Warsaw Pact' tech but hey, can you blame me.
I wish saving was in the demo though cause then I could actually do some space combat. As it is, it looks like we'll have to wait god knows how long before we can play the actual game. The only release date is '2nd half of 2022'.

>>24610which ones are you playing through now? i'm doing a hard 'cturne playthrough on my switch. the hd remaster is pretty disappointing for its msrp, i expected something better. i bought it on a huge discount so it was worth it, but it's still annoying how they basically didn't bother to improve any aspect of the base game or redo/crop the fmvs in a better way. the only good thing they did was add the ability to choose your fusion skills

>>24741i really think a lot of it is like that, as much as i love the game. the element of enemies and the player being fragile to make level differences matter less than skill, ironically ends up killing you in dungeons and boss fights because of lucky crits and weaknesses you won't know about if you're playing the game blind. the fact that you get a game over if the enemy manages to kill your male-to-fiend doesn't help either

More SP games lately, working thru Shadows of Rose and Planescape:Torment finally. I might start writing a journal to help with mental health tbh.

>>17809Excellent game, got to go to the stars and managed to discover the "points for research/engineer powe" when I was 70.
Me and the utopians failed to lower the temp below 1.2 but on the rest excellent. Loved by all except myself, restorer of habitats and emissions lowered partially.

fellas, is the metal gear series anti communist or anti soviet?
No.29279
>>29278anti-Millitarist first and foremost.
No.29282
>>29279This. If anything, it's shockingly good on the USSR considering its the brainchild of a fucking lib.
No.29286
>>29282>>29279so no cringe commentary on how the soviets are le bad and communism is le bad?
I always wanted to try it out, but it just seemed so anti soviet for some reason. Thank you fellas
No.29288
>>29286i don't remember any time Metal gear goes into an anti-communist or hyper anti- soviet tangent, most of the time the anti-sovietism comes against the KGB characters, but they also do it with the US government agencies, guess Kojima hates glowies as much as armies, in fact, i see Metal gear shitting on the US far more than the USSR, Peace walker is the biggest one that comes to my mind.

>>29288Lol which Metal Gear game can you kill US soldiers in? TBF you only get to play as Americans in the series right. Reminds me of how Resident Evil will never set a game in Japan or anywhere in Asia for that matter.

>>29289Oh yeah, now I remember why I thought it was anti soviet, you kill mostly soviet soldiers in the games right? and then snake switches to being like a freelance mercenary?

>>29291You play from the U.S. side, yeah, but this is handled in a couple of ways. Most notably a big part of the text arguing soldiers loyalty to a country is a deficit to all soldiers, and that all combatants form a de facto brotherhood when such ideals vanish. (Some people also interpret this as the text encouraging a global army in defense of the people, though I don't agree).
Another way is to criticize the U.S. control over information as the hegemone, prevalence and proliferation of manufactured narratives, etc. There are a lot of angles, but none are "shooting red army men is good and just".
It's been awhile since I played it, but I remember MGS4 ending being particularly bitter towards U.S. foreign policy. An attitude Kojima has always had, up to and including Death Stranding by the way.
Don't misunderstood any of this: he's still a lib.

>>871My friend convinced me to get The Crew 2 since it was like £7 for ultimate edition and we can play together. God damn it feels completely mediocre though. I really should have expected that from an Ubishit game but man, it really feels half assed. The handling feels really slidey and awful but also really simplistic and easy, the graphics are really really bad, it looks like a X360 game in terms of textures on the cars and shit (yeah sure some nice effects but that hardly is impressive). And the cutscenes/line delivery are all absolutely awful, this game makes NFS Heat look like a masterpiece in comparison.
I dunno why I listen to this guy, he's such a pleb.

>>871I like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It's a class-based multiplayer FPS and it's available free of charge. I recommend using the open-source ET: Legacy client (you need the 32-bit version for mods, so download it). It works on both Windows and GNU/Linux. ET: Legacy has better support for modern hardware and it has fully working server browser. Some other resources:
