I do want to build a cool space ship
Fallout 4 base building was pretty addictive and also infected the gaming industry for like a decade

although not being able to fly the space ship seems kinda lame

Everything but the last 3 missions when you have to choose to make the game less fun was good.

I liked the first 10 hours exploring a bombed out to hell USA. Got really boring after that, and I quit the main story when the game asked me to murder the other two factions.

Far Harbor DLC was really good though, best part of the whole game.

The DLCs were all fun and I loved exploring the Commonwealth. It is a great map with lots of fun PoIs and dungeons to explore. The glowing sea and the marshy suburb were top notch.

The Glowing Sea was a really cool gameplay moment yeah. I think they could have done more with it, but also it might have been just the right amount too. Definitely felt unique.

I’ve been playing chivalry for awhile and have like 650 hours and it makes me wish the medieval multiplayer melee space wasn’t so empty, every patch introduces novel new bugs to the extent that I think torn banner deserves some recognition for innovation in dysfunction

Chivalry fuckin rules. I was on a siege tower and it glitched when it deployed so i was standing on the ladder part and got catapulted like 500 ft in the sky and then plummeted back to earth screaming. Amazing game, love the yelling

Ok, I'll be honest.

My biggest gripe with Fallout 4 was that combat balance sucked. Normal difficulty was too easy, but at the same time on hard the enemies had too much health. Also melee combat was bad and broken, guns were the way to go.

This is mostly fixed if you get at least 1 of the 2 OP guns from the DLC, but A it's DLC and B you have to buy the DLC.

So my experience with it was slightly worse than it should have been.

Also I think a lot of this was fixed in Fallout 76, so hopefully they do better with Starfield.

You are right. Why have the background loading of an area being some sort of landing cutscene when you can have the game load the new areas during your minute long hyperspace travel then freeze for 20 seconds as you enter a new planet's atmosphere like in NMS.

and someone needs to figure out a 3rd-person solution to stealth that doesn't demand playing the game at 50% speed and crotch level the entire time

atmospheric travel is pretty standard in space games now, sorry they put all their time into letting you gather a bunch of sandwiches

Yeah.

Cyberpunk 2077 was probably halfway there when you just murdered everyone with computer magic from a distance.

the Gita Jackson review spent multiple paragraphs complaining about a character arc that doesn’t actually exist anywhere in the game
Yeah, like half the time someone criticizes a plot they make it obvious they haven't actually understood it, to the point that it appears like they're just making things up. Which I guess they might be, but they do really seem like they actually believe they're telling the truth.

Not that this means the plot they're criticizing is actually good, just that they fail to point out why it's actually bad.

manual docking/landing was by far the most interesting part of Elite when I played it like a decade ago

i would kill for a space game where you play as a valet and just park different spaceships in increasingly difficult scenarios
