Pitch it well and I may do, crowd funding isn’t a bad thing imo.

If you were pitching a sequel to an already successfully game with a studio attached and funding secured then no, I would not.

If you haven’t played stray yet then you should. It’s still not particularly cheap for a game that’ll take you 5hrs to beat but it’s brilliant.

Having lots of empty planets is realistic to be fair, but realism is unfortunately boring a lot of the time.

Personally I’m a big fan of the game but I’ve been pining for a Bethesda game for a long time and I will always enjoy a fetch quest where I have to kill bandits. I totally understand the criticism (although I do think it’s slightly blown out of proportion because it’s Bethesda).

Overall, the game is good. It’s not great (yet, anyway) but I’m 30ish hours in and I feel like I’m 10hrs in. The quest line I focused on after getting my bearings seems to be one of the better ones and while I prefer exploring in a skyrim/fallout way I have had plenty of fun just dropping by random planets to see what I can find. It’s at least very obvious which planets are boring before you even land on them. Ultimately in real life I think we can be pretty confident that the vast majority of planets and solar systems would be boring as fuck. Starfield needs some aspect of realism so having one or 2 planets or moons/stations per system that are actually worth visiting is a good call in my opinion.

Mine are less than the minimum and I was surprised it ran ok for me. First time I installed it I didn’t install on an SSD which was entirely unplayable but once I’d freed up the space it was fine.

I remember people bitching about skyrim in 2011 too.

Internets’s gonna Internet.

Hating Bethesda is cool at the moment so people only discuss the negatives of starfield and not the positives.

Having said that I’m only 8hrs in so my opinion isn’t worth shit really. But I’m enjoying it so far having met constellation and then just fucked off on my own for a bit to explore

You get so used to reading billion that sometimes you forget just how many 0s that is. Fuck me.

I may be wrong but didn’t Sony consistently win the console sales battles largely because they had better exclusives?

I don’t agree with this purchase, but it’s seems like they’re trying to get to a similar status as playstation in terms of game exclusivity.

As was origins honestly. Brotherhood is definitely my favourite and the later games feel more generic than true AC games, but they’re still good fun.

They’re treated the same because they’re all applied to have maximum fun for the players and to encourage spending. You can also play as Zico or Pele and their stats are reflective as if they played a modern game even though it just wouldn’t work that way. But it’s done that way because people have fun (or more accurately, spend money) playing as a legend, even if they wouldn’t be the same player in today’s game as they were in their day.

Simulation games aren’t striving for maximum realism, they’re striving for maximum engagement and enjoyment. Although defining games strictly by genres is kind of pointless these days because almost everything straddles so many of them.

Because what does it even matter? We should be encouraging women’s football to continue to grow, part of that is making sure it’s fun to play in games as well as competitive on the pitch.

It’s come so far in recent years, and when we’re talking about a game which is designed primarily for fun, being unhappy that women’s stats aren’t an apples and apples comparison to the men’s stats is just silly.

It says that you have an issue with the women’s game being treated in the same way as the men’s game. Video games are designed for fun, not for simulation, and there are plenty of good reasons to have women be comparable with men in a computer game.

You’d have been upset when Tony hawk games had women skaters that could ollie as high as the men too huh? Or got upset when Chun Li won in street fighter games?

The fact that this bothers you says everything.

Seriously though, what does it matter? Like at all?

And that’s completely fine too. But plenty enjoy and support it anyway, it’s working pretty well for them so far whether that pleases you or not.

It’s not simple criticism though is it mate? It’s criticising people who are contributing to the world while offering nothing yourself. That’s the whole point which has already been pretty clearly explained.

If we take it back to your original comment you’re literally criticising the amount of free work someone chooses to do. I’d hoped you might see the analogy but it seems like we’re past that point so let’s call it a day.

Good luck though mate, maybe think about it a bit more when you don’t feel like it’s a battle with an anonymous Internet person and can look more objectively at the points made :) x

Exactly, literally a hobby and not a job, people contributing time they absolutely don’t need to in order to create something for others to enjoy.

And you’re criticising them because they’re taking too long. Taking too long with their unpaid voluntary work for a product lots of people will enjoy.

Seeing it yet? :) x

The analogy is that someone insulting people trying their hardest while doing nothing of importance themselves are worse than the supposed injustice they point out in the first place.

In this scenario, the volunteer modders are the paralympians, and you’re the douchebag criticising them for contributing something to the world despite having nothing productive to show themself.

Hope I helped :) x

Ahhhh it’s weirdly beautiful mate. This whole exchange is like one big illustration on irony and (ironically) you end your point by illustrating just how little you understood my posts.

It really is satisfying. But if you want to teach me something and show me why it would be ironic to insult you in a post which was designed specifically to insult you then I’m all ears :) x

No insults, just a guess :) x

The insult was your OP, and Arnold does a good job of illustrating why it makes you a cunt (there’s the insult!)

Do you understand irony? Irony is including 8 emojis in a post defending yourself from being called a 10 year old.

Someone insulting you in a response which (by your definition) was only posted to insult you is just logical. Where’s the irony?

The analogy is the post mate, but how would you know if it stayed blue…?

Yes I thought you might say something along those lines, have you ever heard of an analogy…?

I know you think you’re making a relevant point, but really you just look like a 10 year old who struggles putting 2 and 2 together.

This has nothing to do with skyrim modding, and everything to do with your perception of a group of people who don’t deserve your hate.

Let me know when you turn 11 and we can try again :) x

I certainly did, he made a very eloquent point.

A great husband he isn’t, but why should that mean you assume everything he says is bs?

Very closed minded way to live… It’s very possible to agree with someone on one point and still think they’re a pos when it comes to other points.
