Good article. Despite Stallman’s being an asshole, he was right about a great many things.

Oh wow, I played so many hours of that game as a kid. OpenTTD is a thing already so why not this!

I do enjoy the both of them, and they are more games missing from my chart, lol.

Ah, this is excellent! I really don’t get why, and neither like, the feed on Lemmy pages is centered wasting so much screen space. For that alone I want to throw this onto my browser.

Yes, I made that with my own favorite games. Like I said, I could still add more games that I couldn’t fit in there. Test Drive Unlimited, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, Gran Turismo 2, Forza Horizon 4, Wipeout Pulse, Project CARS 2, Raceroom Racing Experience, Automobilista 2, NFSU2 and Most Wanted both, the other Burnout games… There’s way too many good racing games in the past, and not enough in the present. I really like racing games.

Wow I took a look at Unsighted and it looks really nice. ZeroRanger has been on my list for quite a while too.

Ahhh friend, that is such a big question. I’m going to narrow down to just 2 games but I could literally sit here all day, fill out an entire chart of games and still not be done. I love racing games.
I’m going to say the best sim overall is Assetto Corsa, the original, because of it’s insane modding community that can make it into any sort of driving experience that you want.
And for best arcade racing game… I am inclined to say Burnout 3:Takedown from back in the PS2 days. The later sequels were also great, but this is the one that perfected the formula of extremely fast and aggressive driving, with blissful brake to drive and crashing physics. They just don’t make games that drive as good as this one in the arcade subgenre anymore.

Actually, I AM going to post a chart too, because I remembered I already have it saved.

Yeah I took a few Astronomy classes as electives in college. Astronomy is NOT easy or simple at all. Lots and lots of very complicated math and extrapolation from limited data happen there.

I’ve never finished the DS3 DLCs. Maybe I should give it another try this time, despite already having played the games for 300+ hours.

The Burnout, WipeOut and Ridge Racer series. All of those are perhaps the best arcade racers ever released on consoles, and they’re all dead now. I’ve been playing the PS1 and PS2 games, and they all still hold up tremendously today.

Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It’s a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It’s mixed with mild RPG elements, and there’s tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.

Came here to comment that game. It’s so good, it just brings me back to when I was a kid and played the older, non-Open version, on my first PC. Today, when I actually am old enough to understand all of the mechanics and complexities, it’s a very fun and engaging game that you can sit down with a hot mug of tea, and just let it take half of your day away without noticing. It’s great!

Cute, I love some foxes =)

Yoooo Dead Cells! I love this game, been playing it a lot recently, although I’m a bit “stuck” in 1BC unlocking stuff before moving on to 2BC… (I kid, I actually want to beat Dracula first but I still can’t)
Anyway, I hope this will be made in the same style as the Castlevania animated series, I loved watching that one.

I’m looking for them now, and the only thing I could find so far was your comment ;-;
I need somewhere to talk about the latest Geats episode!
