@itisnotlogical: Collecting stuff mostly. Catch bugs and fish to donate to a museum, dig up beeping statues to decorate your house with or sell to buy other furniture and upgrade your house. You can try and complete sets of items to style rooms with specific themes. There's also the animal villagers who you can do jobs for, give gifts and various other things. The games a long term one as each villager has a birthday on a certain day of the year and other events occur on specific days.

I did enjoy my playtime of New Leaf, though the collection aspect didn't keep me interested long enough to complete my house. Most of what I see done about Animal Crossing is either giving it creepy undertones or focusing on the sometimes odd behavior of the animals; "I want that orange you've got, take my shirt. Now I want to buy that shirt from you".

Are there any good Platinum-style character action games on PC?

I already know about Revengeance

As somebody who's never played Animal Crossing, what is the appeal of the series?

Like stardew valley with more dynamic social elements and collecting, but minus the farming and wifuing.

Also multiplayer.

Animal crossing is weird, new leaf being the best.
Your a human in a debt with a raccon who makes you work for him to pay off your debt, then puts you in further debt so now you know if you stop shaking trees and fishing you will end up dead like mr resettis eyes.
Its a debt sim with an odd mask for jobs and friends.
Multiplayer is funny. Most people are generous.
I dislike the feel of the game though.

Anyone know of a truly horror RPG?
Like visualy disturbing and with decent rpg/jrpg mechanics? Magic optional
Not just a disturbing level in an otherwise normal game.

[Mech#4]

I don't really know of any horror RPGs. I think there's digital copies of various Cthulhu mythos rpgs on Steam, on I saw recently was "Mansion of Madness" but that's a companion app for the tabletop game.

There's some isometric horror games. "Sanitarium" is one that comes to mind but that doesn't have any character leveling or stats as it's more of an adventure game. "Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines" also but whether that's all horror or only the seaside hotel and the Tzimisce house are is more up to you.

I confess to not really playing any of the later games, but the original "Alone in the Dark" was pretty amazing and probably the best if you can get past the antiquated graphics and interface.

System Shock 1 was horrifying in ways that the sequel never managed to be, but again the atmosphere might not be immersive for a modern gamer.  There is a 'remastered' version that includes such luxuries as mouse-look, so it might be playable.

Ah, yes. System Shock 1 and 2 are horror RPGs. First person but with RPG elements.

Thinking more, I remember watching a let's play series of a JRPG-like game. The graphics were top down like RPG maker and it was about a bunch of kids stuck in a school with a murderous ghost.

[Micro102]

A bit of a twist on this request. Recommend me a game to watch other people play on youtube.

This playthrough of The Beginner's Guide if you want to go on a feels trip.

As a creative myself, the point where he gives up and phones in the rest of the episode hits kind of close to home.

I'll also say most of the things on the GTLive channel.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is pretty close for horror RPG I guess?

[RoguelikeRazuka]

Hey I would be tremendously grateful if someone suggested me a decent dungeon crawler game for PC, featuring complex character development system and party management, rewarding process of grinding (if possible) and challenging battles, great variety of the stuff and high replay value? Much like Wizardry 8 but not from the series, not a Might and Magic incarnation or either of the Legend of Grimrock games. Not necessarily set in a dungeon, and not necessarily featuring grid-based movement.

PS since a certain point in time, I'm aware of Grimoire, and I really can't wait for it finally released.

[puke]

I really liked the diablo-clone "Torchlight 2"  the only party management is multiplayer, but it ticks most of your other boxes. 

The character customization is surprisingly rich in options and unexpected synergies.

What about this new trend of tavern keeper games where you hire and manage adventurers indirectly?

Gauntlet. #oppositeday

More seriously, that's a lot of requirements, but maybe Path of Exile is close? It's worth noting that the only party management is what you do with your friends when you play with them (and with the shared bank if you make a guild or w/e).

Admittedly, I never enjoyed Diablo-like games, and I specifically want to play a dungeon crawler game that lets you manage a whole party rather than a single character. Offering turn-based combat is also vital to a game that meets my request.

Regarding those 'tavern keeper games', I've barely ever heard or played any of this kind, lol I didn't even know this is a genre.


2Shadowlord, I played PoE more than one and a half years ago, and was sucking at it all the while. Still not what I'm looking for, sadly.


Alright, what can you say about Stranger of Sword City? And Elminage Gothic?

Pioneer Roguelike is something of a space crawl, was made in Basic a few years ago, but is fairly complex.  First instance i'm aware of that essentially uses your party members as hitpoints.  You still manage and upgrade them, but loosing redshirts is essentially like losing HP.

I feel like I've seen other roguelike-likes copy the concept since, but cant think of names.

I'm looking for examples but coming up short.  I feel like I keep reading news about indie games coming out where you play a shop or tavern keeper and recruit adventurers whom go out and mine the local dungeon, and you buy their trash loot and sell them tools.

nevermind that, i guess.

How about something like Darkest Dungeon?
