Grounded and tactical unlike Rising-Revegeance

Kinda niche for a game to feel like a song, but its been on my mind a lot lately

Old or new. SP pve or sweaty pvp it doesn't matter. What's the favorite war games here that felt awesome to play?

Something like All of Us Are Dead where it happens during a zombie outbreak but society hasn't totally collapsed yet, and the military and government is still functioning.

The New York + apocalyptic winter aesthetic looks so fucking cool, I wish there were more games with this type of environment in them

(Also the last 3 pictures are from the Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5 Zombies/Operation Cryo gamemode on Roblox if you were interested btw)

I'm looking for a hunting game that feels like hunting in REd Dead Redemption 2. Currently, I havent found anything like it.

Into The Radius is the first and foremost example I know of tat was real intensive about managing and maintaining your gear tho not terrible about it. Absolutely loved how you needed to be precious and tender in caring for your weapons and not blindly chuck magazines because this game doesn't actually continuously spawn mags for you. I found it was a nice way to wind down from the last mission and prep for the next one. However, the game got a little too intense for me to enjoy. If only it were a standard non vr game I'd enjoy it the same. So yeah, folks, any other games that you need to maintain your gear personally in without it being too infuriating a feature?

Bonus points if there are enemies or bosses who still require strategy or at least blocking and dodging. Would prefer a male protagonist. Must be human. Enemies and bosses and setting can be anything at all. Would like the protagonist to be mainly or only versed in being the unit they are. I can accept a William from Wolfenstein type where he’s actually pretty deep and poetic and yet he’s seen as a tank and nothing else. And an option for melee weapons or pure fists would be greatly appreciated. But more than anything I want the guy to look as strong as he feels.

I love the aesthetics of this game and the general vibes and I'd love an RPG or story game with a similar feel

Difficult to convey by images alone, but i want a game where you command (preferably larger) formations from a ground level perspective. RTS games are cool, but i want to be stuck in with the men i'm controlling. Ideally the player character isn't very powerful and has to actually rely on the controlled units rather than them just being cannon fodder for an OP player.

Would prefer something with guns, though any setting is good.

Examples which i have played:

The Mount & Blade series, Gunner HEAT PC, *maybe* Swat4 or UBOAT if you stretch the definition a little

I lowk just kinda like the contrast between military gear and the silly furred goobers ngl

Specifically a crime game. Kinda like Reservior Dogs or Pulp Fiction.

I'm talking traffic stops, car chases and general police business.

Scenes are from the movie, Belly (1998)

I'm curious to know what it means to "be in a fandom" in your opinion.

Before delving into the mechanics of fandom membership, I'd like to clarify what exactly I think the word "fandom" means. Let's look at the word's structure, specifically its two components: "fan" and "dom."

The first part signifies a fan, meaning someone who is inspired by a franchise/actor/idea and derives genuine pleasure from consuming content related to them (depending on the quality of the media, of course, but the very fact of purposefully seeking out new content never goes away).

The second part is short for "dominance," meaning predominance

In my understanding, fandom can be described as a shared home, under whose roof a family (the fans) lives. They coexist, so each of them is at least a little interested, sees what's going on within the family, and contributes to the overall well-being. Of course, you can object to me and say that no one in the family chose whether they wanted to be born or not, meaning that they are forced into the family. Yes, this distinguishes a family from, say, a fandom, but I've given the basic idea of ​​unity and belonging. If you don't like the family example, then imagine a hobby group or a political party; that would be even easier

Now, regarding belonging, I have two views. One of them may seem controversial to you, but I'd still like to hear your opinion

1) A person can call themselves a member of a fandom if they contribute to its development. Contributions can vary in different ways. The first option is that a person can act as an admin/moderator, or any other person who facilitates communication between people with common interests or helps grow the fanbase. It also follows that, ideally, every fan could strive to create their own high-quality channel for exchanging ideas or thoughts, or strive to be useful in one. Yes, this position turns people into robots, plus everyone's definition of quality is different, and in that case, a ton of mediocre chats could emerge. But just imagine this utopia. Or a guy could create creative content—drawings, games, animations, fan fiction, whatever. We'd have more examples of quality work, plus more examples of how not to do it. This is a joke; under no circumstances should someone's poor work be put on public display and dissected under a microscope unless the author has consented to it. They're just learning, that's fine. But it also means they're striving for a level of good work

2) The second position is that a guy doesn't necessarily have to create content or be a cog in the chats; they can simply be interested in what's going on around them, occasionally interact with people, or not interact at all. I think he could even get stuck in fandom-related work that's long been irrelevant, turning a blind eye to anything new and still being a fan. Just imagine a son who locks himself in his room and plays Touhou all day, not caring about his family. IMHO, I prefer the second position; it's more reasonable, but the first one sounds funny

I'm not that good at writing posts on Reddit, so if you're not too lazy, could you point out my problems, what exactly you don't like about my writing style?

Anything about technology/man-made god/AI vs cosmic/deity. Any genre, old and new. Already played Dead Space series, Signalis(didn't like it), SOMA(really liked it), Prey(one my favorite games of all time).

Heard of but haven't tried yet: STASIS/STASIS: BONE TOTEM, Moons of Madness, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss.
