rustyfish, do games w Nearly Half of CD Projekt Now Working on The Witcher 4

Good. I hope Witcher 4 will rock! Still not preordering anything. Especially not from CDPR after Cyberpunk.

Senseless,

Good. I pre-ordered the collector’s edition of Witcher 3 and it was worth every penny. After the Cyberpunk launch debacle they need to earn back that trust.

Klystron,

Never pre ordering anything for any reason ever has been a pretty good piece of advice to live by, I’ve found.

If a significant amount of people “misunderstood” you, it’s not their fault, but yours for not clearly communicating or not tailoring your communication for the target audience.

Same here: if people play the game “wrong”, you didn’t design it properly and/or marketed it completely wrong.

Sure, there will always be “dumb” (or too clever) individuals who you simply can’t properly address and satisfy, but if the group is large enough to be loud, you failed your job.

I find this ironic, because even the tutorials in the game only communicate half of the information you need. A lot of them just outright expect you to have played one of their games before. I could imagine if this was someone’s first Bethesda RPG, they’d be confused as hell. Plus there are a few things unique to Starfield that are confusing even if you’ve played every one of their games before.

… I liked it

variants,

its fun, I liked the main story although it does have its slow spots, the vanguard terrormorph quest was pretty cool, but after a while like all games it gets kind of tiring, this game still feels like it needs some work, hopefully it will get even more post release content than fallout 4, there is a lot of space they can add stuff

Some of Starfield’s planets are meant to be empty by design — but that's not boring. “When the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there. They certainly weren't bored." The intention of Starfield's exploration is to evoke a feeling of smallness in players and make you feel overwhelmed.

May as well boot up SpaceEngine then.

Starfield, the epitome of scientifically correcty simulations. Why would I expcet my Starship Travel Simulator 2000 to be a fun-focused game after all, durr.

Zron,

scientifically correct

Why doesn’t nasa just open up the starmap and simply fast travel to the moon or mars?

variants,

they do basically except they give spacex a chunk of money to have their rocket tp them

HeavyRaptor,

It really evoked a feeling of smallness in me. Namely how small and devoid of content the universe feels.

This is made worse because every inhabited planet I go to has some elaborate situation just waiting for me to solve it. For example: I land on the landing pad, walk 30 meters through a gate and am greeted by a hostage situation in a bank where the hostage negotiator is going to let me, some random, go do his job instead of him, trusting me with the lives of everyone involved without even blinking.

Hey surprise surprise a soulless corporation does soulless corporation things.

iheartneopets,

This doesn’t read soulless corporation to me. This reads Todd Howard’s bruised ego. He’s one of the directors of the whole studio after all, and could very well be behind this decision.

Slow news day, eh IGN?

I wish these idiots would quit trying to tell the people playing the game that they are wrong for not liking it. Like, no man, listen to them, this is feedback. You can’t take all of it without a pinch of salt but if you see a common theme, then you should address it.

Landing on the boring planets wasn’t my problem with the boring game.

The ground combat was terrible. The space flight was terrible. The space combat was terrible. And it was wedged into every activity for no reason other than lazy design to pad things.

And then there was the UI…

You can’t “feel small” when the game makes you a fiddly murder hobo in the tutorial.

Good. Fuck GW. 🤢🖕🏽

Mako_Bunny,

This was not made by GW

otter,

It’s owned by GW. Get your head on straight.

I remember reading that quote before the game launched. Weird.

amid Starfield’s ‘mixed’ user review rating of 69%.

Nice.

Amusing that the article gets the response of the first review wrong.

The negative review doesn't only mention that the empty planets are boring, but that the populated ones are the same locations over and over again.

I didn’t know Johnathan Blow worked for Bethesda.

I regularly find games based on WHFB to be really cool. AoS on the other hand never interested me.

pleb_maximus,

Are there many still around these days? From the top of my head I only know of Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer.
The latter was so good it is bringing back the Old World from GW!

Nacktmull,

Yes, I love TWWH exactly for that, hate that the game is split into so many DLCs though.

pleb_maximus,

Oh absolutely.
On the other hand, we’d probably have had to wait way longer for the games if they included every race from the get-go, if we would have gotten the games at all. But the day 1 DLCs? Yeah, those can go die in a fire.

Oh, and since you seem to be interested in the TT site of the Old World as well, are you reading the current article series on their community page for the new game?

Nacktmull,

There´s a new game?

pleb_maximus,

For the tabletop, yes. They anounced late 2019 that they were developing it, it is set to release at the beginning of next year. So January of February. It is very creatively called “Warhammer: The Old World” an set in Warhammers past and a mix of what they liked best throughout the past editions. Here is the article overview on their community page.

Currently they are doing an article every monday taking a glance on the upcomig rules.
You’ll be able to play with your old minis if you still have them. But they anounced earlier in the year that the base size for most minis will change to something bigger. Only thing concrete so far is that apparently every 20mm base will change to a 25mm base. (the basing article it talks a bit about Bretonnian armies before the basing)

Nacktmull,

Interesting, thank you!

pleb_maximus,

You’re welcome!

falsem,

I played the demo and got turned off by constantly saying "Orruk" instead of orc and lack of base building.
