Shepard Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Does anyone know of a game that is similar to the Mothership Zeta Crew mod for Fallout 3 in that you play the "supreme commander" of a faction that you essentially run and coordinate? I really liked how MZC made you feel like a badass and the leader of the most powerful faction in the wasteland. I would rather the game be simulation/rpg in style; no rts games etc. I just recently watched Starship Troopers for like the 7th time and it reminded me of the mod and how much I loved it, but I don't really feel like playing Fallout... I know this is probably a ridiculous request but what the hell. PS couldn't find a forum in games to put this thread in so sorry if it's in the wrong place...

Please don't hang me Perp stands for Pulsar Effect Role Play. Pulsar Effect were the community who developed the mod. It's a roleplay gamemode for Gmod. You drive around the city, grow drugs, make guns, shoot people, be cops etc..... It's a hell load of fun. The reason I mentioned it was cause you talked about factions. In Perp there are a few different organizations going at any one time, just people who grow and shoot people together. I been playing it for a year straight, and I ain't bored of it yet...... and on sale I think you can buy Gmod for $1 so yea..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xafizzle Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Maybe try just cause 2. It's heavy on your computer but if you can run it, it's a lot of fun. You can destroy so many things and there's so many different vehicles and weapons that make it such a creative and awesome game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohunter Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The one game I would Recommend is XCOM: Enemy Unknown (or the older ones if you like, but I don't think you'd be into that). It might not be exactly what you're looking for (in terms of "simulation"). It's technically not an RTS, more of a turn-based strategy. Hard to explain it really, you command a military corporation called XCOM, meant to deal with extraterrestrials. Aliens basically are invading and you have to stop it, you choose where you're company devotes it's research/equipment, each soldier you play with has a name, and if they die, they die forever. You choose what weapons each soldier uses and their equipment. You choose which countries to launch satellites in for surveillance etc. Most of that game basically is choice. Also don't play PERP it's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoplite Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 S.T.A.L.K.E.R clear sky is heavily based around faction wars and factions I'm not sure about controlling your own faction though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation, it sounds awesome and I will definitely check it out. I watched a video of it on Youtube and I like the idea of having your own job etc. On 8/17/2013 at 3:46 PM, Hoplite said: S.T.A.L.K.E.R clear sky is heavily based around faction wars and factions I'm not sure about controlling your own faction though Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out!

It was fun for a little bit, but I feel like the missions just got too repetative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't hang me First go to the server listing. Copy the perp servers IP and connect with that..... Just walk away for about 2 hours after that... Give or take. After that, enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
