they should just add a button to the ui that runs the movetoqt console command. that's basically the starfield experience already -- just fewer loading screens.

Oh you have a bounty on this planet? I need you to respond to this hail or we'll blow you up. hold e for .0001 miliseconds too long and get up from pilots chair Crap well they'll give me at least a few more seconds to sit back in the chair to respond, right? .5 second later "gently caress YOU WERE BLOWING YOU OUT OF THE SKY" Ah cool. Would be annoying if this happened another 20 times.

Lotta dummies on the internet were going all in for Starfield to run away with GotY. It's likely a runoff between Zelda and BG3 now but Starfield will still be on the ballot because it's a heavily marketed and hyped AAA game.

I do appreciate Bethesda hearkening back to my childhood by insisting on a loading screen every four minutes. Also none of the planets that I've encountered so far have bodies of water. Everything is a broad, featureless plain with one hill or a valley somewhere. Why did they not include any lakes?

Some people would have to be huffing a pretty large amount of copium to actually vote it goty. Glad I didn't pay any money to play it.

The first main planet you go to for the story has water and it's a completely wasted land feature. You can swim but no diving or combat while you do it. I have not seen water anywhere else.

Grey Cat posted:Actually they almost make a statement on earth being destroyed. Scientists are bad! Can't trust em, one bad scientist destroyed the earth's magnetosphere for selfish reasons. It's even more baffling because they play so hard into "isn't this tragic?!" Angle without realizing that A) the problem was fixed so it won't happen to future planets and B) we can set up shop in almost any star system. It's an extremely net positive? Best way I found to review the game is: It hits the dopamine button of your brain well enough, but less filling than Styrofoam.

They actually do give out awards at The Game Awards. For now anyway. It's becoming more and more an E3-like media event.

I think I generally appreciate it a bit more than No Man's Sky because at least you don't have to do any crafting which is always a joyless, backtracking slog with no real sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, it's just the blander parts of it and Outer Worlds mashed together seemingly designed to be as broad an appeal as possible. People losing their poo poo about the pronouns things presumably haven't played the game beyond the character design screen because that's literally the only social commentary the game makes so it can be repackaged and sold in all jurisdictions without having to go through thr censoring process.

I also like that 300 years from now cowboy hats, jeans and bolo ties are apparently still a cultural signifier of someone who lives in a small town and advocates for small government. It'd be like if rich people still wore ruffs and pantaloons today.

Occasionally it lines up where a solid majority of them are all putting the same game at the top. So in those cases you can start to get a "consensus GOTY" feeling for that year. Breath of the Wild and Skyrim are two that I can point to off the top of my head.

by the way thanks to bethesda's typical jankiness you can make some easy money in this game by staring into a puddle outside of a shop and stealing the shop's inventory lol its in akila the first shop you pass on your left if you enter from the main starport gate. just look for a muddy puddle in the road and from a certain angle you'll see a list of poo poo you can just grab, including like 7k credits. its not even considered theft.

How hard is it to just make a list.

One thing that's struck me while playing is there are I think no new features at all. It's effectively reskinned Fallout 4. The closest thing is ship design but that's about it.

It's awesome how they're in space and can make massive off world cities but i'm in this god drat loving cave shooting lasers at minerals to somehow destroy yet collect them. And just precious metals all on the surface of a planet, just like, out there that no one else ever looked at gathering. Looks like I'm the sucker that does it because I need to spend x credits for some magician ammo or some poo poo.
