A cathartic game where you get to destroy a fully destructable city with nothing able to stop you.

Blast Corps is right up this alley. Well, almost. You're destroying the city because you're "escorting" a truck carrying a missile with a nuclear warhead that will detonate if it hits the slightest obstacle. So in that sense, you kind of have something to stop you: clearing the path and getting the truck to the target somewhat requires that you focus your destruction in particular areas. There are a couple secondary areas without the truck for a main goal (races or time trials: destroy all buildings in a limit), but I forget if there are any sandbox areas where you can just play around.

Unfortunately, it is many years old and for the N64.

Brigador:Up-Armored Edition can be that to some degree, especially if you pick a really easy pilot like the Auditor, where enemies literally do not spawn.

Every part of the environment is destructible, and many of the weapons blow up, allowing you to destroy vast swathes of terrain - if you have the ammo, of course.

Original post from the Minecraft thread:
Anyone know of some kind of build - RP mixed servers???

I like building and I don't mind RP, especially when its really good world building, but more often than not I find the RP dull and the building rather limited. Or rather, I find RP servers where you don't build much, and building servers where you just build--and while that's fun, ultimately I'd like to see the world come a live a bit--or at least be able to make things people will use in their RP.

I looked at Lord of the Craft, but honestly while the RP is pretty cool--more history-y than your standard high medieval RP--I can't say I'm convinced theres too much building going on (other than building and rebuilding the continuing cycle of growing, conquering, and fracturing nations' towns).

I used to build for Westeroscraft for a bit, but same thing, its just building and then RPing later in a built world.

IDK, maybe I want a balance that can't be struck, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be super grateful!

Anyone know of any games that combine intense building with a possibility of RP? I love building stuff, customizing, etc.--but it always turns me off when its all eventually for nought. Outside of the meter by meter building of Minecraft, I thought Land of Lords and Ymir got close to what I'm looking for, but both fell short via lack of lots of important features and/or creator mismanagement.

I can't remember the title and my phone's search is being stubborn, but wasn't there one that came out in the last few years where you played a Superman-like guy who could fly around the solar system (those basically all the action was on Earth) and bash alien invaders once you got tired of flattening your own cities?

I recall the reviews basically said it looked pretty good, but ultimately was a fairly shallow experience; mostly consisted of unlocking new powers, using it in the next fight, repeat for the few hours it lasted. Mix in some cruising around and wanton destruction, and it was only a few hours long.

Considered Voxel Turf at all? It's a MineClone, but with AI gang wars, property ownership and development, and guns.

It's not *particularly* set up for RP, but it's got multiplayer capability and people are basically playing as independent entrepreneurs anyways.

Duuuuude, that's a blast (pun not intended) from the past. I had that game as a kid!
Can't remember much about it 'cause I was real little, but it was pretty dang cool. Wonder where my copy got to, probably in storage with family somewhere.

So recently picked up A Legionary's Life.
(found here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1058430/A_Legionarys_Life/)
First of all I was absoutely enthraleld by it, but secondly it has left me with a desire to play other games where you can play as an average soldier in the Roman Legion and also more games of similar genre (its a bit like King of Dragon Pass).

Can anything think of similar games?

If you don't mind very basic 3D graphics (circa 1990s level), one of the most detailed and challenging survival-crafting-farming simulation games I've played is a mod of an indie game.

I really just came here to rescue this gem and to mention that they are making Stranded 3.
I have no idea how young I was when I played the 2 first ones, but it taught me two things: German people like sandbox / simulations and I will always keep an eye on their games, and that Minecraft would be successful.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

SO, I have a crippled chromebook with a 2ghz braswell processor and 2gb of RAM.

It is running Ubuntu Bionic with XFCE4, and WINE. It has a 256gb microSD card set up as /home.


Can somebody suggest some good titles?  I have found my copy of Evil Genius runs pretty good, as does Wizardry 8, and Halo PC. 

It acts a fair bit like a computer circa 2005, so retro titles are welcome.
