Maybe you should try fragile alegiance? It's not modern by any standard but it is all about building a mining empire inside an asteroid belt with several alien races as opponents you can engage in trading, diplomacy, espionage and war.

loved that game! I hate the interface, I also can't get past of the starting phase without getting slaughtered by random aliens, but I just enjoyed building missiles and ships and everything

anyone know a 4x game that plays like that? I already have distant world universe, but I find it a little shallow

[Sonlirain]

Well distant worlds Is kinda the least shallow 4x game there is.

The other similar games i can think of are Sins of a solar empire and Aurora.

Sins is even more shallow than DW and Aurora has virtually no interface.

Thanks, I will take a look.

O yes I need this thread. Too many times have I made threads looking for certain types of games.

So, does anyone know of any games with obscene amounts of loot? I'm talking about everything from weapons/armor to furniture to deeds to gems to taxidermy models and whatever else you can think of. I want to be a hoarder and collect stuff I will never need. The closest I've come to this is oblivion, where I could drop and move items in the real world and displayed pretty much everything I could find. Another game that inspired this urge was animal crossing. No MMOs please.

Well, in addition to Oblivion, there's also Behesda's other big games, Skyrim, and Fallout: New Vegas.


If you don't like bethesda, you could try Dungeons of Dredmor by Gaslamp Games. Though for this play style I recommend playing in debug mode so you don't have to continually skip bunches of turns every time you want to move a lot of stuff to or from the storage dimension.


EDIT:
on a similar note, Fallout: New Vegas becomes a lot less of a hassle if you use the console command "player.modav carryweight 20000" to effectively remove the carrying capacity limit from the game

"Divinity: Original Sin", along with the two previous entries "Divine Divinity" and "Divinity 2: Ego Draconis" are pretty good with lots of loot.
You can take paintings off the walls, usually some kind of meal or food off tables and so on. It varies between games with Divinity 2 having the least lootable stuff I believe. Divine Divinity has lots of small food items like tomatoes, cheese and apples while Divinity: Original Sin has the paintings you can take off walls. There's not much use to the stuff other then eating or selling it all but... eh.

[Scoops Novel]

Apparently Jagged Alliance 2 had expendable personalities! I weep, for are there none more like it?

[Bohandas]

I retract my reccommendations for Skyrim

[Scoops Novel]

Are there any fantasy games who's art sets out the terror's you face? Sincerely horrific, intimidating enemies as you'd get in a very good horror. Can't remember seeing a skeleton that made me blink or a beast I was afraid to get too close too.

Similarly, let's take the thing (F4) as a example. How you seen art that gives the impression of a rock that moves rather then a person who happens to be pebbly?

[Sonlirain]

Dark Souls and Bloodborne come to mind.

There are some games slightely based on (or outright mods of) left 4 dead where a group of survivors have to survive a player controled monster but those are multiplayer only.

[Scoops Novel]

They're not actually intimidating though.

you're going a bit overboard with this whole mood thing. The game itself is still good

[Delta Foxtrot]

Huh?

Modding drama.

Sadly this is hard to do. I'd have to say Metro: Last Light, Outlast, and F.E.A.R. 1-2. FEAR and Outlast don't have so much as enemies as they have things that will make you jump. And Metro Last light has intimidating enemies, but not "horrors".

[Zangi]

They're not actually intimidating though.

Is the requirement mainly intimidating entry level mooks?  Cause in Bloodbourne, many of the mid-later ones can look intimidating at first encounter... until of course you can easily beat em.  Some are outright dangerously intimidating... all the time.   Like the crazy ladies in hinterchalices... >.>

Though, this recommendation is moot if you don't have / don't plan on getting a PS4 anyways.
