What MMOs out there using just a single button and not 10+ hot bars with 10 actions each?

RisingSwell,

Old school runescape, I only use mouse.

Eheran,

A mouse is not just more than 1 button, it also has the directional input for moving/looking around. Something that a key could never even replace.

Chill vibes. Sometimes you want to play videogames but don’t want a stressful time.

Or multitasking. I love playing Phoenix Wright on the treadmill.

Opafi,

Chill vibes. Sometimes you want to play videogames but don’t want a stressful time.

Osmos or Dorfromantik for me ❤️

But yeah… Other people read a book. Nobody complains that they’re just turning pages for hours. Nothing wrong with (merging those media and) enjoying whatever you like.

MagnyusG,

Agreed, the amount of times I’ve heard:

“It’s nothing but reading”

In regards to VN or RPGs…

Never understood how this is an argument when reading for fun exists. Specifically when comparing visual novels to books, books don’t tend to have pictures, scenarios, music, sound effects or voice acting. Sometimes reading a book isn’t interesting enough on its own and folks want more.

I can understand liking a game but not liking all the dialogue, I remember Mass Effect 3 had an option for Story, Action or RPG mode and it’d be great if more devs would implement that kinda thing instead of forcing one specific playstyle.

BattleBeetle,

Not stressful you say?

Sometimes this happens in a middle of a combat, with the combat music playing, enemies in front of me, character is in low health, and I gotta read a conversation and the only button I can press is A.

Bold of you to assume both hands would be on the controller...

I only have the new one, that was made for VR. It can be played in flat space, but you can tell they did very little to make it work. The text is so small on a regular screen I can’t read a god damn thing.

I never played the original, but I suspect it’s probably better in every way except for the visuals (other than having readable text I mean).

Dwarf Fortress is my favorite game of all time now, though. It’s not old, but it just uses ASCII or tilesets. And I’ve been playing since version 3, using the default ASCII because I think it looks more interesting than the tiles.

Voyager: Elite Force

And added to my downloads.

TheMongoose,

Have you not played it? :o

A fully voice acted (by the Voyager cast!) original story in the Delta quadrant.

Assuming you like FPS games, you're in for a treat!

I have not! I am indeed looking forward to it

It’s on GOG if you’re trying to find it.

Public servers are still available through the Pathfinder project! It’s mostly bots, but occasionally a free for all match with like half a dozen people kicks off.

Either way the single player is a fun little “ST two parter” level plot with some new characters backing up the OG cast.

aeronmelon,

I’m not going to pretend I’ve played every Star Trek video game, but I think Elite Force is actually the best Star Trek video game ever made.

There are tons of RP mods for RPGx which is built on Voyager: Elite Force - the main community is TLO (The Last Outpost) who host the servers and run community events - although my experience with this was a few years ago, so maybe the community has shifted somewhat.

RPGx has a ton of custom maps including full size recreations of starships and random environments.

It brought me an idea.

For a business that already have many screens for showing queue and pushes their app to order stuff, on-phone controls in-app and a timer set to when food get prepared with some delay can be a banger. Also, gifts for the winners and leaderboards. I don’t use them, but it would sure be way funnier than clickers I saw in some of them, especially if people in a queue could just jump into a game at any point, with no start or finish conditions, like in an endless arena shooter deathmatch where you joon, you frag, you log off to your burger. Less waiting anger, more rhytm to the fast-food conveyor, more customer loyalty. Ah, and kids want you to order again to make a rematch.

Cutting the nacelles off enemy ships with the sweet dynamic mesh effect never gets old.

Take out all their weapons, propulsion. Just life support and warp core left.

Still not surrendering?

Oh well… torpedos, full spread!

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

I feel like we are playing drastically different games… My sovereign keeps having its shit pushed in and does like no damage to enemy shields.

Psaldorn,
@Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t played in a while, I found it’s usually about spreading their damage over your shields while trying to keep your damage concentrated on one of their shield zones, then targeting the shield generators.

If all else fails, try spinning, that’s a good trick

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Not physically possible. The sovereign doesn’t have the ability to move that quickly. My shields are getting drained in less than two attack runs from a Bird of Prey which keeps cloaking and coming from an angle to attack my dorsal or ventral shields. Ship doesn’t roll fast enough.

I genuinely gave up on the game.

    laughs in multiMC

    pkpenguin,

    Nah get on Prism

    guiguinofake,

    The curseforge launcher is the worst launcher I’ve ever used. Best launcher imo is PolyMC, it’s a fork of MultiMC that adds a bunch of really nice features like being able to download mods directly from the launcher.

    Neon,

    PolyMC now is PrismLauncher

    The original team was kicked off the Github Repo and made a new Fork the called PrismLauncher

    It was quite the Drama

    guiguinofake,

    Didn’t know that, thanks for the info

    jol, do gaming w I just love collecting them all!

    Vote with your wallet then. Stop buying games from terrible companies. Oh right, you prefer to just rant and literally change nothing in how you live life.

    Filthmontane,

    Games don’t typically state when they use game launchers. By the time you find out you’ve probably already bought the game. Ubisoft and EA are the only companies I can think of that have truly awful launchers that make me not buy games from them anymore.

    Kecessa,

    Don’t buy games on release and use your favorite search engine to find out if there’s a launcher?

    Filthmontane,

    Paradox games have a launcher and it doesn’t bother me. Very minimalistic. I also haven’t bought anything on release since the Wii first came out. People always bitch about little things so it’s hard to know how bad something is until I experience it first hand. I personally won’t play anything by Ubisoft or EA because they’re bad companies that make bad games. I’d put up with their shitty launchers if they had something truly unique to put aside my dislike for them, but they haven’t yet. A bad launcher isn’t enough to make me not buy a game. It’s simply a large deterrent.

    @troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

    Admittedly, the paradox launcher mostly exists so you can control which mods are turned on, which is a mostly legit use of a launcher.
