The Constellation companions are some of the best npcs that Bethesda has created. It’s really difficult to choose someone to travel with. 

Yep, Predators tend to hunt the herbivores. Then the scavengers show up around the dead animals. Seems like fairly realistic behavior, if simplified.

Good take. It is just another Bethesda RPG. Thank goodness. Plenty of other games out there for people that don’t like Bethesda RPGs. But there aren’t really any other games like Bethesda RPGs.

If you think New Atlantis and Cydonia are sterile and empty, then the game is not for you.  

But not Playstation simps. Oh yeah, I know. I’m wrong. Just like you.

But...you can walk all the way around a planet. Just not seamlessly. And the dev response was to a question...so yeah, people have been asking. 

Having to Scan Plants and animals with a scanner to complete the survey of a planet is like No Man’s Sky. Questions?

The exploration is different. I don’t find it tedious, but I understand how some would. Luckily Baldur’s Gate 3 is out, so you get to play it instead. I’m looking forward to it, and will pick it up on the PS5 later this year, for sure.

I was talking about the handcrafted areas involved in the quests and assignments given by factions and such. Those you can almost always fly directly to. No wandering there. Usually you have to wander for the survey missions. That can be tedious for some, I get it. I’m saying you don’t have to do that at all and you…

People complain about not walking seamlessly around whole planets. Then people complain about not being able to walk around the planet regions fast enough. Ok.

It runs amazingly well on the Series S. It is extremely optimized for the Xbox Series platforms. I sincerely doubt it would run this will on the Series S if it had been multiplatform.

It’s a good point. Why would they change? Their games are popular. They are my favorite games, so I’m happy if they put one of these out every three or four years(not eight, please).

Nope, you can totally join the pirates for real.

If it is the satellite near venus, you can totally avoid the combat. I did. Also, make sure your speed is in the highlighted area as your ship is more maneuverable. Also also, if combat in space is too difficult, turn the difficulty down for the encounter, then boost it back up afterwards. Very easy space combat is…

Can you use Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Steamdeck? 

It is reviewing lower than I expected, but I was buying into the hype somewhat. However, the reviews overall make it sound like I’m going to love it. I’m super excited to start playing this evening.

This is great news for me and my Series S. I am tempted to check out the Cloud version, since it should be the Series X version, just to look for differences. 

Yeah, I went ahead and took Friday off. 

None of those games were reviewed with mods. 90% of players(at least) never use mods.

Yeah, I anticipate that this structure is not going to restrict my playstyle in any way whatsoever.
