I’ll probably get it around thanksgiving. I was watching the HeelzvsBabyface livestream that got so much attention. I avoided arguing with the trolls in his comment section otherwise I’d still be on there with the people who said everyone has pronouns or that pronouns are welcoming.
I know some say to just roll your eyes and continue but this acknowledgment of a tiny percentage of delusional people is beyond idiotic.
I’ve also heard that they really hammer THE MESSAGE and there is the usual “representation”
I feel kinda bad because I know there are female gamers and I have some nieces who play games (granted they are games you would expect girls to play) but this almost decade long push for more women in gaming is beyond annoying. As well as the “everything has to appeal to everyone” marketing idea.
Like I said I’ll probably buy it around thanksgiving and there will be cool mods I’d imagine. I’m still playing heavily modded Skyrim and can’t wait for the oblivion mod.
Next up is Elder Scrolls 6
I’ve repeated this take often, but my opinion hasn’t changed: it looks boring as fuck. The litmus test I employ is pretty simple: does any aspect of the game stand out to me as inspired? Or is everything of “minimum viable product” standards? The term I often use is “C+ homework”. Did the devs clock out at 5 every day having done the bare minimum to collect their checks and ship a functional product? Or is it obvious that someone with passion, vision, and talent worked hard to create something meaningful and worthwhile? I don’t see any aspect of Starfield as particularly well done. Gunplay, npcs, story, graphics, space combat, exploration, game world - none of it looks great. It all ranges from competent to almost good. Is that a game I want to spend dozens or hundreds of hours in?
You summed up my thoughts perfectly.
