  • I played Outer Worlds and, I think I completed it. The setting got old and the plot.. what was the plot again..? I'm like 90% sure I finished it but I couldn't tell you what happened.

    Contrast that to Starfield, I've completed two faction quest lines and they were both superb. They took unexpected twists and turns and were full of lore and interesting characters. The Crimsom Fleet quest line was epic, and payed off in just the right way for me (seriously the discovery at the end is 🤌). The Rjujin quest line was also great, and took such an unexpected turn from the initial thing of applying for an office job. Also the toy you get from the questine is really fun to play with, crazy that someone might play the whole game and miss it because they thought applying for a corp job would be boring.

    At the moment I'm taking a break from story missions, and I've been taking pirate hunting bounties, and just exploring. I've found loads of random encounters and followed threads to some epic stuff. And I've still only just started the main quest line.

    The game is so much deeper than Outer Worlds, while also being far broader. Also, Bethesda make open world games, if they had released something as stripped back and linear as OW, they pull have been torn apart for it, even more than they are now.

  • Oh man of I could customise a buggy as well, and have that buggy drove out of my customised ship, I'd be so bloody happy about that

  • I switched from playing on my 1440p monitor to my 4k TV the other day and all my old screenshots have a black box round them whe they come up in the menus now. I'm wondering if, when I switch back, my 4k shots will all be zoomed in...

  • PSA: you can grav jump to other systems without using the menu, most of the time.

  • But manual space travel would be even slower and honestly I think it would get old very quickly. I do understand the frustration, and if you were expecting it to work like NMS or Elite then yeah it's going to be disappointing. But for me, that's not the point of the game. I've had a ton of fun exploring randomly around, just jumping system to system and checking out random planets. The only part of space flight I'm actually that bothered about doing 'realistically' is ship to ship combat, and that works great, especially once you unlock the thrusters. If you manage to take out their engines by focusing fire you can disable them and board the ship, and take it as your own. Also the sidequests are great, I think the writing has improved from previous games. They often go in unexpected directions.

    I've enjoyed seeing the initial backlash fade and turn around. I'm seeing a lot of posts on the subreddit saying stuff like "I initially made a bug complaint post but now I'm a few hours in and I was wrong, this game is amazing"

    If you're not enjoying the first few hours I implore you to stick with it a little longer.

  • From the article it looks like that was an issue with ZeniMax Online Studios

  • Fallout76 was a bad game. Not really evil though. And I heard it got much better, admittedly long after launch. I really enjoyed Fallout 4 but I get that I was in the minority there. Either way, I don't think a company should be totally panned just because they made the main character voiced instead of silent. Re-releasing Skyrim got old, but you don't have to buy it, lol. I don't know what you mean about their launcher. Was it bad? You could always start the games from the exe as well. You'll be happy to know there's no launcher for Starfield anyway.

    I think they've made something amazing with Starfield, although it starts quite slowly.

    Pirate the game if you want, no judgement from me, but don't justify it by pretending its some moral good.

  • Oh why not, it's a really good game. Did Beth do something evil or something?

  • I'm astonished at how well this game runs for a Bethesda game

  • You're sitting g just around the minimum requirements for the game. You might want to try installing some performance mods, there's some available already in the nexus I think, but there will be more coming soon

  • Yeah the lack of city maps is frustrating. So hard to find your way to certain places without a mission to go there.

  • It's not that buggy. I've had maybe half a dozen minor visual bugs at most in all the time I've played

  • Fair enough. I'm the kind of madlad that really enjoyed Fallout 4, although not as much as previous titles. I'd say this one beats FO4.
