No, of course not, it’s lauded. I love it too, but it’s a slow burn and most modern gamers don’t have the attention span.

Why the aggression? Think before you type, please.

Uh…BG3 was always $60. I bought it Oct 6th 2020.

Literally everyone in the world can see this is a braindead play except GM

This is what I come to the comments for

Yeah I won’t even play their games when they’re free anymore.

I’m stoked for this game. I love the art style and direction it seems they’re going for: weird and fun.

Can you imagine if all of Roller Coaster Tycoon was built into this game?

🙏

Exactly!!

I have. I found that it was a little too repetitive and shallow, but it was fun for a while. Tbh I had hoped that Starfield would aim to be a better version of NMS.

Don’t tempt me

Maybe we just stop making FPS games if we can’t innovate on them?

That may be a possibility, but I worry that it will be a second-class citizen in a game that really, really wants you to shoot stuff.

I really disagree on both points. I don’t see why I should be exploring the galaxy by mass murdering everything in it.

And Skyrim is definitely 100% about the combat. Every single mechanic serves that purpose.

Granted, there are lots of non-gun games. I guess I mostly take offense to Starfield because it feels so out of place.

To be clear, I think shooting orbs and shooting bullets are fundamentally the same thing. And honestly I think you’re not the only one who can’t imagine anything else, the game industry clearly can’t either 😂

I’d argue that Starfield having guns is really at odds with the theme of the game. It turns it from a space exploration game into just another FPS but you have to drive through some space to get to the next mission.

I think the important thing is that our services should not REQUIRE you to pay monthly. Some people can afford to maintain these things but many cannot. A paywalled service is less useful for everyone, including those who can afford it.

I haven’t played since 2, but it was definitely “make your own fun”. At the time everyone was playing the 2 hour demo over and over, and that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had.
