I honestly forgot Rimworld was even EA at all.

>dwarf fortress lite with prison architect graphics
What's the point?

they aren't always shit, but it's still usually a poor choice to buy them in early access unless it's on sale
why buy a product with the promise that it'll be better eventually instead of just buying it when it's complete?

You just can't paint with a wide brush like that. Use your brain. Investigate the game and understand that it's still in development. If it looks like something you'd be into with what features are currently in the game, go for it. Do not buy a game on a promise of what it might become.

Cool. I grabbed the torrent when the devs released it and will buy it if I like it. Haven't played yet though. It's that good?

For when you don't want to deal with df's interface or depth
I like DF fine but sometimes you don't want to deal with it

because it's fun

The long dark was terrible.

Factorio is fucking terrible

If he was any good he wouldn't have needed to start a world war and kill six thousand jews

Rimworld is the best game. Have hundreds of hours in it and still never beat it. Mods add so fucking much it's beautiful.

Path of exile is cool. F you.

Jesus, this thread is fucking terrible.

>minecraft over ksp

your opinion is useless

Okay, I laughed.

>hey this game is good guys
>lmao actually its terrible haha XD

Are we being invaded by Reddit?

>neo/v/
I mean fuck, RimWorld is a fun little game but stop acting like:

1. Dwarf Fortress is hard to learn

2. RimWorld is comparable to Dwarf Fortress

Dwarf Fortress is hard to learn if you're autistic and think the only way to "learn" something is to know everything about it all at once.

Subnautica
Blackwake
7 Days to Die (debatable, but fun with friends)
Squad
PUBG (I don't think its good but obviously a lot of people do)
Black Mesa

I didn't say it's hard to learn, I said it's unplayable and obtuse. I just give up once my fort gets a bit complicated because it's the biggest pain in the ass to do the most basic things.

I want to play a game, not battle a shitty interface.

I pirated this on friday, and will probablly buy it tonight or tomorrow. Great fucking game.
My only complaint is that I don't really know that most days I dont know what to do. Once I stabilize my base with a freezer, some crops, 4 or 5 dudes, it's pretty much on autoplay until the next research pops up.
I'm sure there's either a facet of the game that I'm not seeing, or research is due some rebalancing.

>love top down shooters
>love open world games
>hate spoopy

jesus christ what the fuck did i wrote.
shouldnt be on the phone and write at the same time.

get some mods m8, there's a crazy amount of stuff to work towards with shit like bionics and rimatomics

Wait for disaster to strike / prepare for disaster
Send out caravans
Trade and explore
Build a hellish gauntlet of traps
Mass produce drugs
Raise pigs on the corpses of your enemies

It's a sandbox, bro

> "decent"

Dorf Fort fag here. It's a nice change of pace between fortresses and unlike nu-Dorf, Rimworld is actually hard when you crank up the difficulty.

Tantrum Spirals don't happen in DF anymore (not since 0.40 and 0.42) so you can literally treat your Dwarves like utter shit and at worst they get a minor work speed penalty. Also since 0.40 world activation invasions are fewer and smaller, and kobold thieves/goblin pedophiles don't happen anymore.

DF is a better game by far but it sucks having to play an old version of it for a bit of a challenge and you get sick of Terrifying Glaciers after a while.

I agree. People blow DF's difficulty and UI way out of proportion. The gameplay isn't hard at all and the UI takes like 30min of learning the hotkeys.

DF's mod community is dead because one guy keeps stealing mods and putting them into his own modpack, and the few mods that he hasn't stolen either haven't been updated or are shit like
>Fallout: Equestria
>My little Fortress
and the other 5 MLP mods.

>Hotkeys

Unless you are a Korean starcraft player, hotkeys belong in the '90s.

Git gud

I stopped playing this because people went insane too easily and for too long
and mourned for like 3 years at a time over a pet mouse dying.
and spent half a day trying to shoot a rabbit and missing every time until they just gave up, even with great accuracy stats.

I mostly agree with you, 90% of the generals there are trash. There's some gold to be found though.

It all depends on the dev.

So do you just not like playing video games?

Custom create every colonist so they have the psychopath and cannibal traits. Create a bunch of hillbillies who trap and kill anyone who wanders into their area and harvest the organs.

Don't download the rape mod.

Dwarf Fortress isn't hard to learn. It's hard to play. It's literally so obtuse that its painful to keep on with it.

> I agree. People blow DF's difficulty and UI way out of proportion. The gameplay isn't hard at all and the UI takes like 30min of learning the hotkeys.

No, fuck you.

A UI is not just 'learn duh hotkeys git gud'. Thats the controls of dwarf fortress. And yeah, those are total dogshit too with the constantly inconsistent controls and apparent inabiltiy of the dev to make a comprehend any of the design decisions of videogames from the last fucking quarter century. But a UI does more than that.

A UI is meant to communicate information with you in a quick and effective way, while reducing the amount of time you need to think about interacting with any menu down to the minimum. The ideal UI is one you don't even think about. Like the cleaners of the public bathroom or politicians, the UI is something you shoulnd't even want to notice unless it starts to seriously fuck up.

The dwarf fortress UI fails on almost every level of what a UI is meant to do. And that creates suffering that - while the game is very enjoyable - makes me consider carefully whether i want to bother with it over other, better made games.

A lot of the time information about what's going on in your fortress - stuff that should be easily presentable to the player since yknow, it's happening right there - isnt just hard to find, it's actually impossible to find out without resorting to outside programs.

It's a sandbox with nothing interesting to do so there's a forced and unfun tower defense mechanic instead. There's never a sense of accomplishment, it's just building traps until the game sends a wave too big to fight against.

The game would be better if they stopped trying to ape DF and just made their own game because literally everything in the game copied from DF is just a shitty unsatifying version and they'd be way better off if they went in literally any other direction than attempting pure sandbox. DF succeeds because it's an insanely huge simulation with room for interesting things to happen. Rimworld is just an RNG with forced "storytelling" in that the game just throws either a wave of pirates or a caravan at you once and a while but has zero room for any actual stories to arise from the randomness.

I'd love this game if it just actually focused on being a tower defense and fixed it's shit tier combat. Or focused on being a farming/building sim and fixed it's shit tier building system. But as it is now it's just "DF but with a good UI and none of the good things about DF"
