just me
subscription is mostly useful for infinite resources bag space, and free non-recent dlc access too i guess
and most content is indeed soloable, only time you need to interact with people is in some DLC dungeon and some veteran dungeons, and mostly just to listen to/explain boss rules so you don’t die every 10 seconds

it’s absolutely fantastic, my friends and i joined a steam family and they finally have 0 excuses to not play the games i’ve been recommending them for year (and neither do i)
i’m perfectly happy with my pre-built machines. I like tech and love learning about it but- I don’t really find value in putting a huge amount of time into building my PC from scratch when someone else can do it, and that person knows way more than me already!
nah, best you’ll get is a deal like “buy this $60 game and we’ll give you uhh, $10 in credit or smth, idc just buy the game”. sometimes physical shops discount their games but that’s entirely up to the owners of the shops.
Nintendo’s flagship titles are basically immune to sales
it’s worth it! but don’t be ashamed to take breaks, the devs know how to do horror well and it shows
oh i did, it was absolutely wonderful and terrifying
yeah that’s not the sort of explanation or answer i feel satisfied with lol
you can also ask the Hunter at some point about where did the artifacts come from and he answers something like “don’t know, don’t care, i just want them and so should you”
then within unity it’s just a meaningless pseudo-philosophical (or meta) vagueness that pretends to say something whilst saying nothing because the writers haven’t come up with it yet
it’s just so painfully boring, i love TES and Fallout worlds for their surface level fun that occupies the dopamine gremlin in my brain and the deep lore full of mysteries and questions that pleases the nerd too. The worlds there feel like grand mysteries, they’ve spawned many debates and lore youtube channels trying to piece it together. Yeah they have plotholes, but as someone on tumblr said - plotholes are actually pockets where fans can keep their theories (or something like that).
What absolutely infuriates me about starfield is that bethesda had all the tools, all the experience, and all the manpower to give us another living, breathing world, a literal cosmos full of mysteries and opportunities - and they gave us this. Empty planets, with like 6 copy-pasted dungeons filled with either of 2 baddie guys to shoot at. I wanted to love Starfield, but after I finished it I just felt relief that it’s done, checked out the cool ship, and uninstalled it.
after starfield i finally played Outer Wilds (not a typo) and goodness, i have so much more memories with that game than starfield, despite the fact i finished it in half the time i beat starfield
if you’re craving incredibly crafted space exploration play Outer Wilds, don’t look up anything about it though, it’s one of those that will make you wish for amnesia so you can experience it again for the first time
space DMT was fun, space dragon shouts were just “why”. Additionally the fact there is no lore about the ancient race that built the artifacts infuriates me, not even a “they all disappeared due to mysterious circumstances”, they were, and now they are not, now go chase the macguffin
Starfield does feel loved, just misguided, and despite its scale - oddly safe in its execution.
once you stop seeing ESO as an Elder Scrolls game, and instead look at it as an MMO set in the world of the Elder Scrolls - it gets really fun
even for lore fanatics who don’t see ESO as canon it can still be fun to run around areas we haven’t seen since Arena! Sure, it probably won’t look like the real thing once we get TES: Elsweyr or TES: Black Marsh, but it’s the best we’ve got right now, and with the current lighting fast development of TES series a lot of us won’t live to play those games
