That's what's really so loving weird about this to me

Too realistic to be a fantastic adventure

Not realistic enough to please space nerds

I just don't get a vibe. It would be nice if there were templates to start with so I didn't have to hunt down All these different variants.


But it's just too expensive to get a good ship it just takes so much grinding

Bethesda decided against including land vehicles in Starfield due to concerns about pacing and how it would change the gameplay experience. The use of procedural generation in Starfield's planets and the constant spawning of points of interest would make the world feel sparse with the addition of vehicles.

Also what the gently caress is with the libertarian space cowboys, that poo poo is so out of place. The space neoliberals I understand, since that poo poo is actually how power operates at least in the West

Did they only evacuate insufferable white Americans from 2023 from Earth?

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

i started to play Fallout New Vegas for the first time instead of buying Starfield and it's been pretty freaking cool

the graphics are really rough, but the core gameplay is solid

Oblivion was the only game on the 360 that I got every achievement for. I loved that game.

Always play New Vegas with the Wild Wasteland perk.

I played Outer Worlds all the way through and thought it was fine, but I’m finding it hard to get into Starfield at all.

messing around with outposts and cargo links, and goddamn this interface is complete poo poo and lacks any kind of useful controls to manage multiple resources flowing at a time without one drowning out the others

this is actually making me look back fondly on Eve's planetary interaction system

just trying to supply helium from one mega-producing outpost to all my others that need it for power, and it's a nightmare. not even sure if this is possible. even when it shows up, it doesn't seem to get used by the link it's supposed to power unless i manually move it into a gas tank and route it right back.

Space flight is bad. Space combat is unbearably bad. You should definitely be able to adjust your ship's power allocation in the pause menu. Those controls are fiddly even when you aren't getting shot at.

Actually the real reason was they knew BioWare already perfected the space car with the Mako 15 years ago.

Outer Worlds at least had some measure of character to it. The writing didn't always land, but I at least enjoyed looking around and exploring in that game, and sometimes it was at least a little funny.

Starfield is just so aggressively dull. I don't even hate it exactly. That would be like getting angry at the color beige.

for me what really went downhill starting with Oblivion was not so much the writing but the visual design. it just became ultra generic. like somehow it felt even more bland than the aesthetic of the LotR movies

like Skyrim actually feels a lot closer to the LotR epic fantasy vibe, to me. which makes sense since its very Nordic and Tolkien was very influenced by Norse myths and culture. Oblivion feels like someone making a fantasy world based on reading a description of the genre on wikipedia or something

Yeah Oblivion was gunning for the LOTR audience but those films had insane care put into the art design.

Oblivion art feels more inspired by D+D - nonsense architecture, wacky theme park actor characters, 'adventurer' tomb robber as a commonplace profession, religion that's just vague not-christanity in a reproduced English church...
