It looks good
I think you'll find that I haven't played it since then. It was a great laugh on the caf Discord at the time though, some real gaming moments.
Might want to send a strongly written PMs to the "gamers" in this thread as to why they've missed the fact the most interesting game they will get for the near future isn't being discussed...
It is. Don't read anything about it at first, get a squad together, and it will be a brilliant time.
The same with pretty much all RPGs. Which is why I find it funny that people have decided one is rubbish after seeing a few minutes.
That'll be confirmation bias then
No. At least not in my case, unless you've missed me talk about TW3 before. And what you find "funny" is what people did about the reactions to CP too, what I find "funny" is the same justifications before it is released. All that's missing is people doubling down after release and still arguing "it's a good game!"
(let's hope that's not the case here, let's hope this fares much better!)And again I'll point out, just because there's been missteps in the past, why does that mean we should accept them in the future?

There seems to be some people who think that gamers can't decide what games they actually want to play. I know the style of game I like (story led, immersive with good characterisation) and have hated some widely praised games as they just don't fit what I'm looking for. I also understand that the games I love won't be universally liked as they lack on the mechanics side.
It's almost like people are into different things from their gaming.

We wouldn't even have Elden Ring if Lambs had his way
I've played more of that game than you.
And I'm 100% guaranteed better at it too.
(though I appreciate the attempt to appeal to the lowest common denominator here, I'm fairly confident the caf lot will see through your attempt. Not 100% though, closer to 65%)
Nice soapbox speech, but nobody is telling you not to play it, nobody is telling you you can't decide what to play.
I could equally make one saying "there seems to be some people who think that gamers can't decide that they want games not made in the 00's and want something fresh and innovative" and it be just as relevant.
This is a forum and we discuss things. We aren't all supposed to have the same opinions, that's the point.
Better than all your hundreds of soapbox speeches to be fair.
All that's missing is people doubling down after release and still arguing "it's a good game!"
In just the last post you seem to be insinuating that people shouldn't consider Cyberpunk a good game and if they did they were just doubling down as if their opinion would be wrong. Sure you didn't mean it that way though....
Funny thing is, I like some absolute cult classics and other stuff you loved and have been playing games since the 00's to now. I also like games you would hate, but nothing wrong with that.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I bloody love Fallout 4. It deservedly gets shit for its barebones RPG mechanics and dialogue options but the sense of world building was brilliant, all of the unique diary entries at different locations and lots of treasure hunts like the backstory to Nick Valentine audiotapes. It helped that mod support fixed the usual bugs that you find, because Bethesda.
The ship building really interests me, especially having a crew walking about and interacting with various components inside (although I'm sure in practice they'll repeat the same three lines before walking into a wall for five minutes and falling through the floor).

What's that got to do it with it being yet another game you don't actually like that much or rate?
Really? Because point one out where I tell people they shouldn't play a game.
Nice that you ignore the part where I say people pre-judged it then doubled down on the defence on release when it turned out the warnings were real. Context is everything.
Why are you repeating what I said to you?
We would like plenty of the same games, hate plenty too. None of this post of yours gets the point I made in reply to your original post though.
What's this got to do with it being yet another game that I actually like and rate, but talked about in depth about not being the review lead behemoth it is?
So typical of you to try to twist things again because you can't answer my other posts
I tell you what, find a post where I talk about that game, it's engine or gameplay or anything really and come at me about where I'm wrong in your opinion and then we can have a discussion about it. Until you can do that, stop trying to earn cheap points you wont win. That's the difference between us, when I do it about stuff like Spark or Kinect I can back it up, so go ahead and back yourself up or stick to what this thread is about and what I've said in here to you.
Yeah same here can’t wait.
On release or now?
I've not played it in ages, but on release it was launched completely stripped of the content they promised and all the building stuff was entirely pointless. Also, it looked barely any different to 3. That's probably changed, and one day I'll personally try it again, but they actually did try to cheap out on it and fecked the launch. FO76 was even worse, stories are dropping all over the place about that development too, just like what happened during 4.
There's no shame in liking it though. I love some proper ropey shit
That's what makes me laugh, people think I have some exacting standards about games but in reality I love some proper terrible games! I just don't make excuses for them or get butt hurt when it's pointed out how bad they are, or the issues.Yeah, definitely enjoying it more now than when I first played it, but I still loved it when it first came out. I haven't forgotten the sheer amount of frustrating glitches and the CTDs but all the narrative shite was there and I loved it for that.On release or now?

I must have about a hundred mods on it and it's proper fun (including the one that delivers what Bethesda promised for settlement building). I'm glad that they decided against their monumentally stupid idea of stopping everything but paid mods, because they need the community to actually finish their games for them.
For what it's worth (why can't I use the shorthand? fecking redcafe admin elitists) I've spent the last couple of months going through all of the Fallout games and there's a noticeable difference between 3 and 4. Some of it shit some of it good. Visually it is better but, again, mods.
One console has its second iteration of a VR headset coming out soon.... That's innovation and deserves to be recognised as such. Pity XBox bottled it and changed course but I get why they did it, to concentrate on their first party. Hopefully we start seeing the fruits....... soon?So I was sitting on the fence when moments ago I was hyping it as the great savior. Okay mate
I 'sat on the fence with Starfield' because as I said, the hype was due to the studio and I thought it was unlikely to meet peoples expectations. Happy to hype up gamepass as the best thing in gaming, Forza Horizon 5 as the best exclusive released since next-gen started, and Halo as the best arena shooter in years.
They have a huge FPS catalogue admittedly but now have lots of diversity too, with the main gap being Japanese games. Of the Sunday showcase - how many were FPS games? Redfall? A game already in development before the acquisition, and supposedly coming with a different spin.
Absolutely. Being disappointed that it's more of the same is fair. Saying that it looks poop, not very good, or bad - all taken from this thread, feels like hyperbole to me.
And to Veeva's point - that same criticism isn't levelled fairly across the board. Sony's 1st party output is as formulaic as you can get. The majority are either Ubisoft open world or third-person linear campaigns, and there's very little innovation and hasn't been for a long time.
You fawn over Horizon which has incredibly average gameplay and brings nothing new to the table.
Easy there pal. You can't just waltz in here and start talking nicely about a game. This is the de facto shit on everything you don't like about video games thread (just an FYI).
No one else cares about VR mate
Woah, hold on pal. I'm not your pal, alright pal? Maybe I'm shitting on the people who don't like the video games? I could do it, you know. Proper shit. One morning you're walking to your car and suddenly there's me above you, just squeezing one out.
Shut it you budget Ciderman3000!No one else cares about VR mate
It's worse to think about when you clearly know I'm not a pigeon.Well now I know what my next nightmare is going to be
He's a poundland Elvis, let alone Cider!

Oh sorry.
I thought we were playing a game where you bring irrelevant opinions and misrepresent them after you mentioned Project Spark and Kinect 2.0 for the 50th time 9 years later.
Thank god we have Meta driving our industry forward in that case
Oh sorry. I thought we were playing your usual game of not answering posts then getting butthurt when you are rebuffed.
Ironic I've made more actual posts about Xbox games than you over the past two pages, but you continue to try to nibble

The post you said I dodged you didn't even ask a question. What do you want me to answer and I'll answer it.
The majority of times you ask me questions they are leading and loaded, and you misrepresent my starting point. Gets tiring.
What about them?
If VR ends up on Xbox there's every chance its Oculus I know that.
Great postNo. At least not in my case, unless you've missed me talk about TW3 before.

Dude no PlayStation spin on this thread. You wat to talk about PlayStation VR go to the PlayStation thread. You want to talk about the difference between PlayStation and Xbox go to that thread.
I should be surprised that the mods haven't pulled you up but I'm not.
That's you being your usual boring self rather than anything being loaded.
I'm talking about games, you are trying to score petty points. It's that simple.
Hmmm, I often wonder. I mean we know MS don't like Valve (even though they should probably worship them and should have definitely joined them rather than continue with the ever trash MS store), but I think there's places other than Meta. But the rebranding thing is clearly tempting for them should they relent.
Look at you. Dodging my question about where I've dodged your question, and asking me whatever it is you want to know.
They might just support multiple VR Headsets and then have curated VR library through Xbox store. Can't imagine them developing their own, so Oculus would make sense and we have seen some MS/Meta collaborations around gaming previously.
No doubt you will get VR games on Gamepass at some point too. Might be another 5+ years away mind.
Todd Howard on Starfield's '1000 planets'
https://www.ign.com/articles/starfi...ted-content-todd-howard-procedural-generation
So, exactly what was expected really. Huge scale of random areas to explore for those who want that, but a tighter experience that is more fleshed out with lived-in cities for those that aren't interested.
https://www.ign.com/articles/starfi...ted-content-todd-howard-procedural-generation
- 4 large cities - 1 being the largest they have ever done
- More handcrafted elements than ever before, with over 200,000 lines of dialogue
- For those who want carefully curated journey following main questline and larger side quests, you'll get the experience you expect from Bethesda and can ignore the procedurally generated 1000 planets
- If somebody is interested in just going and exploring a random place which offers some random gameplay encounters and smaller side quests, that's what it's there for
- Procedurally generated areas to fill the game out isn't new to them, and was a big part of the world people played in the likes of Skyrim

Don't trust them at all would have preferred for it to have been Microsoft!
Unsurprisingly he confirmed that Fallout 5 is after The Elder Scrolls 6, so we should see it on the Series X2.
Also, though the game has been nicknamed 'No Mans Skyrim', Starfield differs in that you can't seamlessly land on planets.

And plenty of open space for to build content of their own.
Feck me cut scenes to land on planets? With all that power and speed at their disposal!?
