  • These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I’d cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.

    There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There’s a reason the only soulslike I’ve ever really played is Fallen Order. 😆

    For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was…painful.





  • Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

    I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

    I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

    Edit: fixed a word
