    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Tue Jul 9 13:12:00 2024
    I'm looking for something as easy as Diablo 4, but for single player. It
    needs to be AAA, but accessible with really easy to figure out combat. Mechwarriors 5 Mercenaries is pretty good as well, but it's too boring. The combat is easy enough, but it's too repetitive.

    Have you tried any RPG games such as Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2?
    What about Fallout 3, New Vegas, or 4?

    ... Do device drivers need a chauffeur's license?

    I can't really play open world games that don't hand feed me my next
    direction. I never knew what to do next in Cyberpunk 2077 or Witcher 3.

    I couldn't aim to save my life. Those wouldn't work. I need a button

    Perhaps something like Commander Keen? It's a side-scroller that is best used with a controller.

    Or maybe Cult of The Lamb, another button masher.
    Heck, Castle Crashers or Brawlhalla might be up your alley.

    ... When all else fails, read the instructions

    Anything similar to Diablo 4 that would be single player? I've been thinking of checking out Baldur's Gate. I'm not sure how much skill that requires
    since it's turn based. I'm looking for something AAA that is highly accessible.

    I would be willing to play a turn based RPG (or action JRPG) as long as it's not too difficult (an easy mode would be mandatory) and I could finish it without too much trouble.

    If you're into RPG's, give Baldur's Gate 3 a shot. My son and I, along
    with some of his friends, like it quite a bit.

    That might be a winner. I purchased Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon, which isn't terribly easy, but mostly auto-aims. Using the laser sword takes some practice though. I got the easy mod, but I'm not sure how well it works. I know that I can't use it and the online mode as I'll get banned. I might
    give it a shot. I'm at the first level boss, which is pretty hard not being that used to the game yet. I played with a friend, switching each time we
    died (unless it was ridiculously fast).

    Maybe the /System Shock/ remake would be up your alley? It has granular difficulty settings on each save, one of which is for combat.

    I tried it, couldn't get past the keycode searching... The little bit of combat I was in was easy, but if the puzzles are stumping me (and I set
    puzzles to easy), it's not going to be a fun time.

    I just picked this up. We'll see if it's too hard for me or not. Within 2 hours of play-time, I'd better be into the real game (and not just a
    prologue) or I'll get a refund.

    How complex are the controls? I couldnt' play Devil May Cry 5 due to it requiring moves with 3 buttons at the same time (left stick, right button and Y) with my tremors and poor reflexes. I'm also reluctant to do anything with puzzles as my patience is not known to be that great either.

    I started playing Last Epoch, offline, single player only.
    It was mindlessly fun for a while but it's just worthless to collect any items there, it's more about learning skills/magic properly and you can clean the map as easy as it goes.

    There is some story there too... could be interesting (time travel involved) if such game genre was anyhow about stories...
