Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?
Arkthos@pawb.social 1 week agoX4 doesn’t have quite as good lore imo, but for me it really scratches my eve itch without having to go back to that mmo. I think it’s the interconnected economy of the sandbox.

I wasn’t familiar so I looked it up. I absolutely love the visuals of X4, I might give it a go some day

If you pick it up, know that it has a huge modding scene that make an already great game even better. I can recommend a few basic QoL mods if you want, though the 9.0 update is coming soon and will probably break most of them for a while.
Also, the base game has some arbitrary mechanics meant purely to punish the player so an experienced X veteran can’t eclipse and steamroll the in-game factions too quickly. There’s a list of these mechanics (and links to mods that reduce/remove them) here.
