I don’t play a ton of games these days so I don’t mind paying full price for a game every 2 or 3 months

shame about Diablo 4 though, definitely got burned there

i made a helpful flow chart for you to use in the future to avoid getting burned again:

IF game is made by BLIZZARD

THEN don't buy at launch

Starfield is gonna be a broken piece of poo poo at launch with every system either not working or being half-baked to hell

it will make a billion dollars in the first week and be Bethesda's most successful game ever

a game can be bad and still be something you play for hundreds of hours

very true

thanks to PC Game Pass, i will likely put a few hours into Starfield to see for my self how it is. I have very low expectations, but will be fair in my assessment

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

drat look how much fun this space travel and landing is. Not a total waste of time.

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

i need to get around to trying that on Game Pass to see if I like it. The aesthetics seem cool and the gunplay serviceable, but it was a bit maligned at release so I need to see for myself if its any good

if the only thing keeping you playing a game is grinding for some unlocks/gear or logging in for dailies, then its a garbage game you should uninstall

playing games should be fun, not work

grinding is fun for a lot of people :shrug:

ive had this discussion before, but the way i interpret "grinding" is when someone plays a game not for the fun of playing the game itself, but as a means to an end, usually to acquire some specific milestone or gear

its possible for two ppl to play the exact same game but only one is grinding while the other is doing it because they enjoy playing the game

ScootsMcSkirt

of course, that interpretation gets muddled if someone enjoys achieving the milestones but not the gameplay itself

those ppl are sick and need help

Minor Zelda quest spoilers, so avoid this if you don't want to read that.

The new Zelda has a quest where the only solution as far as I can tell is to get thrown in jail. And then the only way to get thrown in jail is by creeping on the morning class of Gerudo children three times in a row. Eventually, the teacher calls the guards on you.


Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong regarding that being the only solution? Because it's a little :yikes:.

i just used ascend
