Starfield will do fine and if it works will be a good game. Goons are stupid.

I only pay full price for fromsoft games. A lotta games nowadays take a couple patches to be playable anyway plus there's just so many games and i have a backlog of stuff to go through.
Been considering getting sf6, though, because the playerbase will probably drop off pretty soon and then it will just be a core of impossibly hard maniacs brutally defeating me

nah street fighter doesn’t really have that issue as much as smaller games do. you’ll always have a pack of just dogshit terrible herbs like me in the wood leagues.

Heaven help you if you start getting into platinum ranks.

I don't think any other game released this year will be worth $70 except starfield if it works.

If it looked like anything more strenuous than Fallout 4 in space I'd be inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt, but there's nothing in the previews that make it look like an 8 year development cycle that was meticulously planned which means it's was actually like 6 years flailing in pre-production and then the last 2 spent crunching trying to turn a bunch of assets into a game

Ok then, i can hold off on that then. They'll probably release a dozen different editions of it anyway so maybe I'll wait for the hyper turbo mega champion edition

I'm excited for product but it's goofy not to talk about the fact that drat near every game that's been in an 8 year development cycle has been shambolic on release

maybe Todd Howard will be the exception and prove to have managed the hell out of the project for its duration though

it’s wild that it took them this long to come up with what will be their most popular game yet. they’re going to make a ton of empty worlds and modders will simply fill in all the empty space for them.

this is the gambit and this is why they will succeed

Starbound and No Man's Sky proved out that people will put hundreds of hours of playtime and free development into just the promise of a neat space game

i will admit that using the jumpjets to fly above the enemies and shoot them with a heavy grenade launcher looks very fun and will be what I build my spaceman to do

if they manage to make that part of the game functional and enjoyable, i will probably like Starfield

Now see, Starbound. There's a halfway decent title with the word "star" in it.

Starfield, though? Like am I gonna frolic through a field of stars, or am I just gonna watch radar

I hope Starfield has Skyrim leveling where you have no cap and can unlock all skills if you use them. It was always fun to do that in the ES games and was the one thing that bugged me in the fallouts.

As long as they don't ruin it with game-as-a-service bullshit Starfield will probably be fine (though I'm pretty sure the game plan is to let modders make it into a playable game, as per usual with Bethesda games). So I'm looking forward to seeing how they ruin it with game-as-a-service bullshit.
