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?

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.

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)

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.

 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

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

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.

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...

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.

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 by SimonVolcanov
Needed to add Osu
