Really wondering about this dude that just handed his whole ship and his robot buddy to me, some loser that said two vague sentences about maybe having some hallucinations when I touched a rock.
Maybe he’s been looking for an excuse to hang out with a bunch of dirt miners for an uncertain amount of time?

The last time I heard “it takes 30 hours for things to pick up” was Final Fantasy 13. Which, uh, lol. It took people a literal decade to come to terms with what that game actually was and was trying to be versus what they were expecting going into it blind. Will there be a similar process with Starfield?
There’ll be something worthwhile come out of it eventually, whether it’s modders making it into a different, better game or Bethesda making Starfield 2 the game that Starfield should have been out the gate.
But I am enjoying seeing how the game is being received by people playing it right now. It’s such a range of reactions. Some people are actually raving and loving what this has to offer right now, vanilla day one. It kind of blows me away but I can kind of see it.
I don’t know that I would blow through the main quest just to start over for real in new game+. I thought it might be that they were doing something like new game+ would be you playing as your character’s children or something but instead it just seems to be you start over but keep your skills and alien powers and maybe reset the main quest or just let it stay completed? That doesn’t sound like much, especially if you only just did the main quest and as a result didn’t have much to reset afterward.

I just need a macho man mod for the space pirates in the opening that are just the dragon from Skyrim again.

The thing that annoyed me is how I saw people (normal gamers) saying that Starfield did something with NG+ ~that had never been done before~. Considering how all the alien powers are basically the powers of creation I thought that they were going to integrate the Creation Kit into the game itself, but it turned out to be much more mundane than that.

It’s just a stupid word they included in a trailer to direct the flow of discourse. It means nothing

I’m sure repeated PR usage of the phrase has nothing to do with the work they had to do get NASA to sign off on Cape Canaveral being a late game location you visit, pick up NASA merchandise from, and learn that the successful star travel program in-universe was set up by NASA, an organization that can barely launch satellites today

i had no idea that i was meant to be special in morrowind until my friend at school was like “you gotta go talk to Caius Cosades he’s old and super buff” etc etc like there was just so much to do in any given space it hadn’t occurred to me there might be a Main Quest (also i was like 11)

Well I’m convinced. Todd has got to go. Get rid of him! Bring that old guy who wrote Morrowind out of retirement and put him in charge of the company.

I’ve played about 10 hours of this and have gone from underwhelmed to pleasantly surprised back to maybe being underwhelmed. Reminds me more of Oblivion than anything else in that it feels very transitional and tech-demo-ey, the procedural generation and piloting stuff feels like a test run for Hammerfell. Also reminds me of Oblivion because they’ve finally returned to that super zoomed in close up on ugly npc faces! And dialogue minigames are back!

played a few more hours of this last night. ran out of medpaks in the middle of a dungeon with no clear way to get more, felt bored, so i quit
i have repeatedly written out longer posts and deleted them because i’m just repeating myself - i just don’t think this game is for me

After I was 200 hours deep into Fallout 4 I told myself I would have been satisfied paying $100 for the experience I had had with it, so I would be OK spending $100 on the next Bethsoft game. That is why I paid $100 for Starfield.
I’m not paying more than $30 for Elder Scrolls VI.

It’s ominous thinking about how if they use this tech in Elder Scrolls VI, since it’s set in Hammerfell, the game will probably be built around settling tropical islands and somehow manage to raise the stakes on how fucked up the subtext of Fallout 4 is by making the racism more explicit.
