Omfgreenhair Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hello DU bros! We've got a couple of threads about what to play while were waiting and we've got a forum for introductions. But it would be lovely to know your gaming background with the focus on Sci-fi games and Sandbox games. For me I started out with the first game I bought (for 9 Gulden, the Dutch currency before the Euros) as a 12 y/o kid: Ascendancy From there on this list is what got me busy the next decade and a half in random order - Freelancer - Homeworld 1 & 2 - Freespace - Star Ranger - Minecarft - Space Engineers - Space Station 13 - Global Agenda - Planetside 1 & 2 - Elite: Dangerous - Ark: Survival Evolved - FTL - Hellion - Dungeon of the Endless - GRAV - Endless Space - Fractured Space - Empyrion - Galactic Survival - Stellaris - Star Drive - Planetary Annihilation - Pulsar: The Lost Colony - EvE - Galactic Civilisations II These are the games I've played for some length. The ones with singleplayer campains I've all finished. I've spend an ungodly amount of time in minecraft and space engineers designing factories and bases. Also currenly immersing myself in Space Station 13 again. Playing on a remote 8chan server. They can be bastards, but they're beautifull bastards. GRAV was interesting, not as optimized as I would've wanted. Empyrion was fairy easily broken when bases had roofs covered with guns like their roof-tiles. StarDrive is kinda a less superior Endless Space. Hellion is like a 3D Space Station 13, but less wacky and much more survival aimed. Also, these are just the Sandbox and Sci-fi games I could think of that I played. So... what's your story or your list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thokan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Age of Conan, Mount and Blade: Warband and all associated mods, Haven and Hearth, are the most influential and important ones. I have dabbled in plenty of MMOs in my days though, looking for The One Open-World PvP Basebuilding Crafting MMO (TM). You know how it goes.

ATMLVE Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sandbox? LittleBigPlanet. My favorite game of all time. Best part about it is it can be any genre you want! I made bleak industrial stuff. Space Engineers in later times... I even have a t-shirt! FTL: Faster Than Light. It's always there for some quick entertainment. Borderlands 1 and 2. I've beaten them so many times. Spore and No Man's Sky I have love-hate relationships with... Great games in their own right, but could have been so much more. Going way back, Battlefront II. Who hasn't played that, really? Red Faction Guerrilla, only game I have for PC, Xbox, and PS3. Halo: Reach. I never was into Halo as a kid, but Reach didn't need to be nostalgic for me to be totally engrossed by its story and soundtrack. Some other scifi games I've played but aren't too special to me: Sins of Solar Empire: Rebellion Space Chem Infinifactory Fractured Space Robocraft Galactic Civilizations II Planetside 2 Unreal Tournament 2004 Various Halo Mass Effect series (besides Andromeda) Vyz Ejstu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Engineers Garrys Mod Planetside 2 Terraria Spore Planetary Annihilation: TITANS Factorio Eve Online: Never really got anywhere in it though. Kerbal Space Program: I tried I'm very bad at it From The Depths Doom 2016: I highly recommend this to anybody who has not tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xugo Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hm, I guess mine will be the shortest thus far... Minecraft. Most of my gaming growing up was with anime/fantasy MMORPGs. Tried a large variety over time, but mainly stuck with a couple, i.e. Maple Story and Dream of Mirror Online (anyone?). Haven't played anything much ever since the latter stopped being supported by the original publisher. Hoping to get back into gaming with Dual Universe and that it'll be the third MMO I stick with for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJohn85 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think it's good that you only allow certain genres. Otherwise my list would probably be too long. No specific order. - Star Wars Galaxies, or let's say at least the most SW Games (SWG, SWTOR, KOTOR, SW:BF, Republic Commando, etc, etc...) - Space Engineers - ASTRONEERS - Factorio - DOOM - Dead Space - Osiris: New Dawn - J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars - Mass Effect - Minecraft - PULSAR: Lost Colony - Terraria - Earth & Beyond - MDK 2 - Ark Survival - Citadel: Forged with Fire - Quake 3 Arena - Unreal Tournament (1999) - RimWorld - Turok - System Shock 2 - Deus Ex - Planet Base - Planetside - Battlefield 2142 - Starbound - No Man Sky Did I miss something? For sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplehelixxx Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sci-fi and sandbox games? Ok. Dead Space 1, 2, and 3 portal 2 Elite dangerous Hellion Pulsar Lost colony MineCraft Java •before it sucked• Empyrion Galactic Survival Star Citizen •didn’t like it• I never liked playing on big servers in Minecraft, too much reading with all the signs. I’ve stayed away from MMO’s in general because there’s always too much reading whether it be signs or chat, and being blind and unable to see important information like that kind of makes it hard to play Affectively. I making an exception for DU though, especially if they’re supposed to be voice chat in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LurkNautili Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hoo boy... I don't think I could come up with a comprehensive list even if I tried... There have been far too many. Here are some off the top of my head: - Minecraft - FortressCraft Evolved - Interstellar Rift - Natural Selection 2 - PULSAR: Lost Colony - Avorion - Empyrion - Endless Legend - C&C (Tiberian Sun, Red Alerts, etc.) - Zero-K - Global Agenda - A bit of EVE online - Planetary Annihilation - Firefall - Fallout (all of them) - The Black Watchmen + The Secret World(Do these count? A&B games are somewhere between sci-fi and fantasy) - Kerbal Space Program - Robocraft - Half Life(s), Garry's Mod, numerous other HL2 mods - Space Engineers - Subnautica - Antichamber? Sci-fi? - Supreme Commander - Mass Effect series - Portal series - FTL: Faster Than Light - Metro series - Fallen Earth - Face of Mankind - Anarchy Online - Lots of other forgotten Sci-Fi MMORPGs - Systemshock, bioshock, deus ex, doom, quake, UT.... So many others I must be forgetting as well... Good thing we're narrowing it down to just sci-fi games. [EDIT: Oh crap I forgot the sandbox side of things apart from minecraft... Let's add: - 7 Days To Die - Citadel: Forged With Fire - Dark and Light - Wurm Online - Blockland? - Plus a bunch of sim/tycoon games like rollercoaster/zoo/whatever tycoon - Oh and there's Starforge, too... (tried very hard to forget it and almost succeeded) Do we count Flatout and Liero as sandbox games? What about the Grand Theft Auto series? I played all of them between GTA2 and GTA IV ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandaTalk Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Civ IV Dwarf Fortress Kerbal Space Program Universe Simulator Crusader Kings II Prison Architect Minecraft Harvest Moon Beseige These are the games I enjoy the most that are most similar to Dual Universe. I’m generally a casual gamer though, with a more specific interest in emergent gameplay and arthouse games than in the kinds of games that may appeal more to your average 12 year old boy or gamer gater. I absolutely love playing Mario Kart, Old Pokemon games, GTA San Andreas, card and board game apps on my phone and even candy crush, which is addictive beyond belief for some reason.

Lsya Raiya Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 There have been a lot.

0something0 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I grew up in South Korea, so of course the first "real" game that I was introduced to was Starcraft. I remember obessing over it but never actually playing it... I was like 8 at the time though. So, in order, here we go. Starcraft Minecraft (2012) Starcraft II (2012) LigmaBlox (yes I know..., 2014) I also was introduced to Steam around 2014. I played and hopped around various F2P games such as Robocraft, TF2, and Planetside II, though I never seriously got into them. I also was introduced to Kerbal Space Program around that time (late 2015), which basically was the dream game for me as a space nerd. It also was around this time I seriously started gaming, with League of Legends, War Thunder, and Counterstrike. And the rest is history...

DevisDevine Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hmm, I feel I've posted this before. For the sake of keeping it 'short' I'll only list PC games I've played a lot of, lets say 50hrs +. EVE, by far the most, I'm sure I've logged a year online time when I played. Minecraft, some vanilla but mostly FTB Runescape Nexus The Jupiter Incident (first space game I played and I was hooked) Gunz WOW (maybe 51 hrs tops, it went through some dark times dont judge) Sup Com FA Starcraft DOTA LOL Overwatch COD: Modern Warfare Warframe Terreria 7 Days Empyrion (really early access) Space Engineers Starmade Cracktorio... I mean Factorio Rise of Nations Avorion KSP X3 Osiris Ark Homeworld Garrys Mod Doom Creeper World 3 Planetside Frontlines Fuel of War Dig or Die Dungeon Defenders Global Agenda Sins of a solar Empire C&C Boarderlands Portal 1&2 Robocraft FortressCraft Beseige Rift Banished Im sure I missed a few but I'll stop there to keep it short. And there are many more I've played for shoet peroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoDot Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 8 hours ago, 0something0 said: Which nation? All of them. I still have a a few jets to unlock and fully upgrade, but they will probably never get done, because I don't really enjoy jet combat. And there's a couple of attackers I haven't spaded, I fly mostly fighters and bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonVolcanov Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) So, I started out with Industry Giant 2, which got me addicted at age 8. Over the years, I've amassed quite an amount of games, like Payday 2 GTA V Black Desert Online 7 Days to Die Civ V Empire: Total War (the best Total War) HoI 4 Mount and Blade: Warband Space Engineers Garrys Mod CS:GO RimWorld Rainbow Six Siege War Thunder Prison Architect ARK Factorio Civ 4 Total War: Rome 2 XCOM 2 Paint it Back MGS V Planetside 2 Europa Universalis 2 Titanfall 1+2 I could go on, but these are the ones where I have 90h+ I play mostly shooters, strategy, logistics games (and never will I enjoy driving/flying. I suck at that) Oh, and a rhythm game called Osu, which is currently my second-most played game time-wise Edited September 13, 2018 by SimonVolcanov Needed to add Osu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
