When I got power armor and mowed down a deathclaw first thing, I knew it was gonna be real lovely

Oh man that's kinda awful.

I mean I remember getting rekt by a deathclaw every encounter until the end game In Fallout 3 and feeling so good killing them in droves

Fallout was definitely a game I played intensely. I think I finished it at least 12 to 20 times. Different renditions being evil being good, different constraints. I think I played a run only using fists and then power fists. I mean just so many different ways to do it. Nothing is ever lived up to that

when playing fallout, I always go "good guy" route for the first play through. Other play throughs I go the rear end in a top hat approach ;)

Bethesda is so afraid of letting the player have money it's so loving stupid. The vendors have 5k, but engaging with the skills that let you sell stuff for more means that instead of being able to sell three guns for 1.6k each, you start being able to sell each gun for 2k, so then you can only sell two so now you're just lugging around an additional gun. So you have to find multiple vendors, except OPE this guy only buys medicine and food.

No, of course the kiosk that buys stuff on behalf of the galaxy wide trading company doesn't have more than 5k, are you loving stupid?

Whoever decided you have to register a ship for 80% of the amount it sells for should be shot. And what does registering even do? You just press a button and then you're able to modify or sell a ship. It's a money sink for no reason, registering a ship does nothing. You don't get dinged for not registering a ship, there's no mechanic involved, it's just a button that costs you money. And some ships I've had sell for as low as 6k. The registration cost 4.5k. Why? I did this for nothing. I sold a gun to the one guy in New Atlantis with a not embarrassing amount of credits for 7k. How the gently caress is a pistol more expensive than a ship that takes you across space to whole new planets? I hate the economy in this game, there's no reason to do anything but quests.

The meta for making any money is to just visit the stupid kiosk, go sleep for 24 hours, then go back and see that HAHA FUCKER it didn't reset so you go back to sleep again. Only once you've done this eight times will your inventory finally be low enough to be able to walk without gasping for air like a gutshot cow.

If I remembers correctly from the tik toks.. In Akila city, the fancy dancy Shepherd's General Store. In front of the store in a puddle, there should be a hidden chest, a store chest. You can loot the poor poor shop keeps inventory.. think of those "hidden" chests in skyrim

If the game was 50 quests like Entangled it might actually be good. Instead 90% of the game is poo poo like some miner telling you to find the Heart of Mars and you Fast Travel directly to the cave where the Heart of Mars is and pick it up with zero fanfare quest complete

there's really no reason for you to believe anything the constellation guy tells you or join up with them at all. the game doesn't even try to lead you into the main story with a single compelling reason, and all of the dialog options are immediately an enthusiastic "hell yeah i want to join your rinky dink explorer's league where do i sign" as soon as you get there

like c'mon, couldn't they have given you something? maybe the space rock made you sick and they know the cure? a dragonborn immediately tries to slay you and they rescue you and take you there for safety? something, anything, any kind of reason why i should give a single poo poo about any of them from the get go.

also, not to get too soilerly, there's not really a good way to opt out of the ending without just quitting the game and never finishing it. the ending is dumb as hell, and there is absolutely zero reason you should want to participate in it, and every single person you're introduced to in game who is in a similar situation as you is a miserable, pathetic, gollum-like creature because of it and the game and every single companion are like, yes, do it, become gollum you will love it!!!

that was pretty much my take, there's some interesting things here and there but most of it is not.

also starglider 2 was a good old one

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

Wait I'm not done Control yet I have to beat the Foundation expansion. I'm like 40+ hours into this game.

I think I'll never play it again, I did enjoy it, kinda but not at the start, and enjoy that it's a huge game, but I'm tired of it. 8/10 though good game.

If I had bought Starfield I'd be severely disappointed. Since it comes with a service I was already subscribed to I'm willing to say it is aggressively mid. I made a cool handgun and found a space grandma who gave me a bunch of well rendered food.

Oh yeah the guy who just gives you his ship and volunteers to stay and do your mining job despite the fact he was literally sent to get the artifact you found. I know Barrett's whole thing is running on instinct and vibes, but for him to be the first Constellation member you meet makes the org seem like the dumbest group of people.

Also the SysDef quest to infiltrate the Crimson fleet is the stupidest thing ever. I got boarded and my ship impounded over 500 credits. "YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH US TO CLEAR YOUR FINE IT'S SO BIG" bitch I literally have ten times that you people are psychotic. Maybe an actual threshold for the amount of crime needed to start that questline would help but jesus it was so stupid, I didn't even do that quest at all so I just waltzed around the galaxy with a cargo hold full of Aurora (allegedly, I never had any options of doing anything else with it other than the quest and no contraband scan even found it)

Stand back, this could get messy.

I put this down for a while because the opening was kind of boring and I made it to a new place in BG3.

Picked it up and did a couple random side quests and both of them were literally "go to these points on the map and press E".

No fighting. No mystery. No real story. Just run here and press E.

Lame.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
why would anyone need to play a space game other than FTL, it's madness

So does this actually have less handcrafted content than something like Fallout 4 or Skyrim, or does it just feel like that because for every handcrafted location you see 100 procgen locations?
