CharlesReed , to games in Diablo 4’s Season 2 patch rebalances each class and nearly every Unique item
@CharlesReed@kbin.social avatar

Looking at the comments, I feel like I'm the only one who likes this game lol

Goronmon OP ,

I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit, but then BG3 and Starfield released and I just haven't come back to it.

I did feel like the first season stuff was a little bare, so that didn't help things.

Abucketofpuppies ,

Nah I really liked D4. But then the Path of Exile 2 gameplay dropped and I felt like I was eating saltines whenever I played it

zepheriths , to startrek in Star Trek: Infinite could be the grand strategy game Trekkies need

I don’t know. Paradox has already messed just last year with it’s Victoria 3 release. I can’t tell if the studio or the publisher is doing most of the work, but the studio has a grand total of three games in 10 years. I am highly skeptical of this game.

blunderworld ,

I dont disagree, I couldn’t get into Victoria either. That said, crusader kings 3 is becoming a truly incredible game - to my embarrassment, I have 2500 hours to support that opinion. And from what I hear, Stellaris is fantastic as well. I bet they have some of the Stellaris team on board for this trek project, since they seem quite similar from what’s been shown so far.

zepheriths ,

Fair enough. However crusader kings 3 came out 3 years ago. Since then paradox has downsized. And frankly I don’t think city skylines 2 is looking so good right now.

sj_zero , to startrek in Star Trek: Infinite could be the grand strategy game Trekkies need

I dunno. I don't really feel like the character of Star Trek fits within the typical combat game template.

The whole point of the franchise is exploration, finding out what's out there, and expanding the realm of the possible. If I'm in charge of a Starfleet starship, I fully expect some number of my encounters to be techtech'd away or for many of the challenges to be moral rather than tactical.

The enterprise no bloody a b c or d was in constant peril, but the enterprise d was only very rarely in a situation they couldn't shoot their way out of.

Literally in every series except Voyager the Federation is in a hot war with some foreign power and the “Remember when we were just explorers?” Lines are usually tongue in cheek, with the full understanding that exploration was only ever a small part of Starfleet/Federation operations, while they spent far more time dealing with rogue factions and warring with other species.

agreed, the Enterprise always stops the warp engine in front of another ship’s debris. Ton of stories about manouvers with pilot names, tons of situations where the ship weapons doesn’t work so they have to resort to diplomacy, and we’ve always looked at this world from the perspective of one ship. I’m pretty sure the rest of the captains are more Jellico than Picard

c0mbatbag3l ,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

The admirals all certainly are, though maybe that’s because of survivor bias, they shot first and asked questions later so they survived. Whereas most Picard-like captains and their ships get destroyed because you have to have an excellent crew to overcome what happens when your morality dictates your actions.

NuPNuA ,

That’s the whole point of 4X games, you don’t have to win militarily. However your opponents may not have your same aversion to it, so you do need to defend yourself. Just like the federation in the show really.

Yeah, I do find it weird how many Star Trek games are all ship combat and such. That’s generally the least interesting part of Star Trek stories.

jordanlund , to gaming in Baldur’s Gate 3 just made the future of Xbox Series S a bit more uncertain

It’s a boat anchor, it’s time for Microsoft to cut it loose and release a digital only Series X.

11/2020 to 11/2023, not a bad run, figure it’s 1/2 way through this generation. Time for it to go.

I’ve never had the drive to beat any of the Wizardry games.They are simply too difficult for this filthy casual.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

You might enjoy CRPG Addict’s blog posts about his adventure in Wizardry for DOS.

I beat it through emulation and save scumming, but his playthrough was a lot more tactical, and now Im starting to understand I’m not support to just hit the attack button over and over again!

DOS Wizardry has a significant bug that makes it one of the worst versions.

@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Fun fact: Microsoft can already do that: Just ship a Windows container VM on Xbox.

Edit: Apparently “container” is the wrong term.

Defaced ,

Have you ever tried to setup a Windows container let alone one on an Xbox? Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit, just look at azure Linux, it’s the entire reason for it’s existence

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_Linux

Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit

The Xbox System Software contains a heavily modified Hyper-V hypervisor (known as NanoVisor) as its host OS and two partitions. One of the partitions, the “Exclusive” partition is a custom virtual machine (VM) for games; the other partition, the “Shared” partition is a custom VM for running multiple apps including the OS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software#System

Xbox already runs two VMs. Just throw in a third with real Windows.

Defaced ,

A VM and a container are two completely different pieces of technology…

I’m sorry I mixed up the terminology. I was sure the point of “Microsoft can ship Windows with Xbox” came across no matter what.

Defaced ,

No worries, it’s an understandable mistake.

Here’s hoping it makes a splash and can stick around this time. I feel like unfortunately there are so many good games to be playing at any time these competitive online games are so much more likely to fail even if they’re extremely high quality.
