Name the Game

:blush: :smile:
yea i kinda ended up in a bit of a rabbit hole at the beginning trying to write that one, and just decided to “go along with it” in the end, despite if it’d turn out crazy or not… :smile:
:joy:

I’m going with a bit of an experiment this time. I figure if you know this will be super easy. But it might not be possible to get if you don’t.

There are hundreds of thousands of pilots in the world, and they all crave one thing: < redacted >
You are now ready to join the world of piracy and capitalism. If you die, you will be cloned back to life. Let’s get ready to fight.
The targets must be eliminated before continuing.
It could be said that the world is almost completely full of honest people, but I prefer to say that the world is completely full of almost honest people.

Volleyball? I can only imagine this is Top Gun…

However, I am going to make a guess that is completely different from my feelings. Assasin’s Creed: Black Flag.

I’m afraid that’s incorrect. But a good guess.

Never played the game, but I thought it was a great idea at the time it came out. I think, if it’s the game I am thinking of…

My Guess

Eve Online

Well done, I’m impressed. It is indeed Eve online.
The lines here are from an old song that uses voice lines from Aura, the ship and tutorial AI. Though very old lines that I am not sure if they’re really in the game any more. They reworked aura a lot at some point and much of the old iconic stuff got lost.

and the thing all pilots crave is of course Icelandic Krónur.

Yay! I got one!

Would one of you kindly post another? I don’t have quite the time to do so at the moment. If nobody does in a couple of hours, I will get around to putting one up.

very good game choice fraggles, I forgot F2P games were actually games, xD or not vague enough that you can describe them obliquely without describing another F2P game. (try doing clash of clans for this and also not describing bomb beach or whatever xD)

All right, here’s a classic favorite of mine:

Description:
You are underground. How you got there, nobody knows. But there are monsters here underground that may undermine your existence, and similarly, you theirs. For how long you can survive underground, only time will tell. But the monsters are coming after you, moving between tunnels and caverns. Some of them spew fire, and you cannot handle the heat, if they touch you, it will also spell your doom. You can choose to run away or confront them with your limited range weapon, which can always destroy these creatures. As you run, you can also explore further, creating new tunnels. But watch out for rocks crashing down!

is it spelunky? I feel someone’s already done spelunky though xD

edit: yes, yes they did, I see harith answered spelunky with the comment “too EZ” so it can’t be that xD though I say it fits :older_woman:

and I have no other answers, except “steamworld dig”

As I read the description I had written, I realize it sounds like Spelunky. And if you look at my Steam account, you will see that I have been playing quite a bit of that game too. But I was not thinking of Spelunky when I wrote that description.

Try another guess? And let me know if you want another clue.

I’m not a fan of clues, I don’t even look at peoples steam accounts, I know I should but eh, I like getting it myself xD so don’t make a clue on my behalf :slight_smile: I may guess again but it will take a while to think around it, it’s the one hit kill thing that gets me, I can’t remember any like that, in any description… (watch it’ll turn out I’ve played this too >.>)

is it dig dug? I just got an incling.

( I had played this >.> good thing it was right :stuck_out_tongue:)

You are a winner! Right on! I am glad that you told me not to give any more clues, I would have mentioned the white and blue suit or just that the game is old and played with a d-pad a single button!

WHOO! :smiley: thats the second I’ve actually answered right xD I’ve known loads but I’m away a LOT

WHOOOOO! :smiley: I’m glad I didn’t ask for a clue either xD the fire breathing bit was enough :grin:

I will have a riddle ready soon :3

okay so here’s the best one I got, possibly the most obscure game I know: (that I’ve never mentioned before, and that I can remember the storyline too xD)

you play as gun references as you attempt to fly around the world excavating rare precious artefacts in dungeons, with exactly 1 boss in each, to pay off your dead parent’s outstanding debt in this roguelike RPG, The prince of a foreign country is your “enemy”, and he has a boat, though the real enemy is forgetting to save! :roll_eyes:

I bet Fraggles still gets it straight away >.> I tried to make this one hard, good luck!

if you tap out I can easily add clues, I’ve changed this like 5 times to get the “easy” to “difficult” balance right xD I don’t wanna be mean… or… do I? :smiling_imp:

I suck at this guessing game, but here’s a wild guess:

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru?

Very wild indeed, no sorry.
I have never heard of that game before, the first screenshots I saw reminded me of the zelda game on original gameboy :open_mouth:

I must have never heard of this game, or seen a trailer, or played it… it rings not even a hint of a bell in my mind…

no ones even guessed the game of similar gameplay style yet :open_mouth: it might be a bit hard xD and I always thought this game was kinda popular, hopefully someone has heard of it when I reveal the true identity.
