    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    They somehow seriously underestimated the learning curve on what this game requires the player to know and how much they are tell you. In previous games, Fallout/Skyrim, those games were sequels, so there was an already established convention of how to do things, what systems did what, what...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I think Ut is right, either this is AI script tested or the whole QA dept needs to be fired, FFS. How many people have shader issues? Lots of people with the same quest person not talking. In the Empty Nest (and the Empty Nest/Akila only; fine everywhere else); my shaders go berzerk with yellow...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Faces are so much better its astounding. Go back and refresh yourself see what Skyrim faces looked like, much less Fallout 3. Watch the Digital Foundry review; They talk about how the game never uses very much vram, even on ultra settings on cards like the 4090/7900 XT or XTX with 20GB or more...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    So folks talking about the first dozen hours effectively being a tutorial are scarily coming true. I finished with the Nova shipyards and it let me fast travel not just back to Jemison and New Atlantis but straight to the Constellation Lodge. OK? There is a sense of vastness about space that...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Holy fuck the amount of BS negativity here. While I have a fair number of things I would criticize about the game, its not a flying simulation; its an RPG game in Sci-Fi setting where you can fly space ships. Is this just counter-hype? Not just Brodhi, I mean everyone who feeding the...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Mass Effect 1 with the Galaxy map and driving around with Mako was amazing; all the hints of previous cycles and older civilizations, and these incredible unseen things in the past gave the galaxy a since of scale. The whole every 50,000 years thing was weirdly short, even on a human scale, in...

    That would have been awesome to have him in it. He needs to be in more stuff other than The Boys. Shame we never got a Dredd 2. Whatever they are using for the Anti-Cheat/DRM is bullshit; I spent two+ hours fighting with my Trend Micro AV to get it to work, eventually found a way around it...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    How can you have a "season pass" for a single player RPG? Like Ambiturner indicated, that's a GAAS feature to maintain engagement and keep you playing. There aren't any rewards to earn here. BG3 doesn't have a season pass and no one said a thing but IIRC hey had a deluxe as well? I don't...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It is a special day: Its a long holiday weekend in the US, Memorial day. BGS games bugs are normally part of the fun but they don't normally have MS putting and extra 10 months of Dev Time into the game; who know what we are going to get this time re: level of bugs? And Microtransactions may...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Well, to be honest, did anyone expect the level of story telling and role playing (or even the same kind of narrative) from First/Third Person shooter/econ/flying Space Exploration game (Skyrim meets Mass Effect meets No Mans Sky) as they did from a party-centric isometric turn-based combat...

    Come on that's wildly unrealistic. Who would ever pull shit like that? Space ninjas? No one is that stupid. Next you will tell me they will move the game to another galaxy with worse aliens, no classes, and ugly women.

    Xbox and *PC* exclusive. It was going to be a PS exclusive so MS bought Betheseda. Note: for those of you deciding between Steam and Xbox, Xbox copy will let you play on PC as well. Something something cross saves I can't remember the rest. I think Steam copy will also work for Xbox...

    The more I think about about this, I am wondering if D4 wasn't Anthemed a bit: Years in the "works" and then rushed out the door with limited actual development time. The disconnect from the game, the terrible loot, the worse uniques, the not hearing feedback in betas, like they had very...

    Damn Marvel Heroes gone too soon. I played the hell out of that game. Pour one out for my six or seven Cosmic Heroes. My wallet, however, is thankful because that game also broke me on spending money on games. I have to mention both every time. I need to stop before I tell the flood story again.

    I am not kidding at all. Its barely faster than running, gets stuck on tons of tiny geometry, and while it has some small advantages like an initial reduced agro radius, if I am not racing to a world boss, I mostly don't bother with it. It sucks. As Chris mentioned there is a stuttering...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    what blows my mind is they have the experience of a team (at least in written form) the effects of nerfing/buffing/patching on a game IN-HOUSE that was the biggest MMO of all time that avoided some of the pitfalls this ARPG is repeating; WoW was so much better than EQ in the same error when they...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    While Starfield may be disappointing, given this is the third "polish" release date and everything MS has put into it, I don't think its going to be "buggy" in the traditional BGS sense. I am as excited for Starfield as many people were for Cyberpunk and keeping my expectations in check has...
