I see the giant swarm of reaction internet weebs have decided to yell at me. This is sad.

The game floats on people (particularly whales) buying ships to fund the game, but almost all ships can be obtained in game and it’s not particularly hard to get them. It’s basically a shortcut if you have a lot of money and no…

I see that we’re into the annual “star citizen is expensive!” article. We do this every year, when they update their “get everything” pack to include the ships and other items released over the past year.

Or, you know, just buy a $60 ship and earn your way in game. I’ve seen people earn literally everything they need…

Dark Souls (series) for sure. I’ve tried it, it’s quality, and I just don’t like it for the most part. I get tired of it after 5 or 10 hours.

I’ve never been into the Battle Royale thing at all, either. 

This is a good deal - the Quest 2 is pretty awesome as a standalone headset and makes for a pretty decent PCVR solution.

But if you can afford a Quest3, do that instead. They’re better in quite a few ways. 

I had a Duo as a kid (okay, I had a TurboGrafx-16 with the CD add-on and the SuperCD huCard) and the system is excellent. I have a modded japanese Duo now, but it doesn’t work all that well.

I ordered TWO of these, one as a gift for my brother. I’ve been waiting for this thing for years and I can’t wait to play my…

Those are all very endgame activities, for the most part. The initial loop is pretty great, the problem is that not much of it has longevity. You can put an initial base together quickly, but there’s no real reason to. Likewise, you can do spaceflight 30 minutes into the game.

That recruitable NPCs don’t really matter…

It’s absolutely an open world game, but does have sections connected. And those sections ARE pretty huge - they’re just mostly useless and there’s no reason to explore them.

Starfield is a lot of fun! I liked it quite a bit and put over 100 hours into it. Most of the stuff noted in this article are normal for RPGs or open-world games, but the real problem is that it needs additional DLC or systems to be fun over the long term.

Some of the BIG timesinks (bases) aren’t actually useful and…

I don’t think I’d use it much at all and I’m somewhat tempted. Assuming it works well over my network, of course.

Well, yeah. Nintendo’s going to deny a Switch 2 until they’ve announced it, because otherwise they’ll have... unofficially announced the Switch 2. 

Gonna make this short: Star Ocean 2 is a fantastic JRPG that still holds up today. This remake of it is genuinely great - they converted old pre-rendered backgrounds into 3d areas, updated the music, even the sprites catch light and shadow convincingly.

This is EXACTLY how you ‘update’ a game for the modern audience.…

She’s actually saying the option didn’t exist on the paperwork. It does (there are literally pictures - she checked the OTHER box).

It doesn’t mean it’s not a deliberate move, but at minimum it’s lying.

Also bodes well for his legal team: This attorney forgot to ask for a trial by jury. That means this judge (that she and Trump have spent weeks publicly vilifying) will determine all damages and guilt on his own.

I think you’re right. The CEO and the board were openly terrible, and all the options were (to some degree or another) bad.

I’d love an expansion where they just make a new town somewhere. Or take over Paradiso, or set up a city on the opposite side of the planet. And I know they said they don’t wanna, but the resort…

I hate to tell you, but the really weird person is the one who is so obsessed and intimidated by women who cover up slightly that they necro a 2 year old thread to scream at other people on the internet.

Get a life, dude. 

I went with the Grav Drive solution, and I really liked this quest.

That said, I would have LOVED another option. The Constant says they have a legal claim on the planet from before the Grav Drive was invented, though they also admit the records were likely lost. An opportunity to shove out the CEO/corporation, or to…

“ Did I figure out how to use it? Not for several hours. And even now it’s so much faster and simpler just to toss new things on the existing pile.”

This is my current issue with Starfield. Everything works. But the interface is awful and it takes about 3x as many steps as you’d want to get there. Using the map to…

Yep. The games look pretty good (some of them feel a little low res, but not to the extent I’ve ever cared about it) and it’d be sufficient for the vast majority of people.

I do think S development has held back the X games, but not by a ton. Generally X and PS5 games are roughly equal, with the PS5 edging it out…

Yep, I like it. Sabine has some facility with the Force, but not much. Which explains why no one trained her or talked about it much in Rebels.

She’s not a prodigy - she has less connection with the force than every Jedi we’ve ever seen. If she’s going to do this, it’s going to be on the strength of work and…
