This article has some new quotes and details. I know we have the other thread going, but this would get buried over there.

I thought it was because they used npcs from fo4 but they standout more against the better rendered scenes.

Thanks, this article helped me to perfect my fake smile.

Bonehead,

It's ok...you don't need to do that here. You can let the pain out...

Wait, this is a Bethesda game. I assumed that that was the explanation.

HidingCat,

Also why I don't want to play them. Oblivion sounded amazing but the moment I saw gameply with the NPCs, I was like, nah.

Kichae,

Also, Oblivion just wasn't amazing. It was fine. More than good enough, even. But it was also just unmitigated and completely ubcofused sidequest sprawl. In my attempts to experience all that it had to offer, I ended up feeling like I experienced nothing of value.

18 as well.

That explains why they look that way, it doesn’t explain why a AAA game in 2023 was allowed to ship that way, though.

WarmSoda,

Dude. They already spent two years developing it. What else do you want from them?

shiveyarbles,

They could develop it for eternity like star citizen

thefartographer,

I might be about to buy a new PC primarily just to play that. Am I making a mistake?

pimento64,

Yes. Star Citizen is a scam.

It’s not a scam if you buy it and enjoy it for what it is, but it’s a scam if you keep putting money into it for features and content that is promised but not delivered.

You can buy Gwenyth Paltrow's goop jade egg and you'll receive it, that doesn't mean it's not a scam.

thefartographer,

But that’s an obvious scam. I don’t already have space-themed PC games stored in my fridge that I can readily shove up my butt.

So you’re saying that I shouldn’t buy Star Citizen and stick eggs in my butt instead? I don’t like your ideas, but you seem like a reasonable person and I can’t argue with your logic.

Stillhart,

There’s a sucker born every minute. You might want to read up on that “game” before committing any money to it.

sigmaklimgrindset,

Because Bethesda knows that the modding community will polish the game up for free.

NuPNuA,

Because based on the amount of sales they’ve made and the combined player numbers between those and gamepass players, lots of people don’t care.

I started gaming on an Amstrad in the late 80s, I’ve lived though multiple groundbreaking leaps in graphical quality since then and now and frankly, it doesn’t impress me anymore, especially with how incremental it’s become. I’m more impressed by the scale and world building of Starfield and how all its systems come together than how it’s character models look.

erwan,

I wasn’t creeped out by character faces from my Amstrad either.

When you get to the level of realism of Starfield you have to pay attention to the details. If you can’t, just pick a different graphical style.

To be honest, those potatoes falling out of the door really did look impressive.

September 13, 2003 for me it seems.

Just a few weeks ago it feels like. Probably spent more time playing video games between 2003 and 2006 than I have between 2006 and today. Makes me sad.

JokeDeity, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

I think I made mine in 2009 for some sweet sweet TF2.

JackbyDev,

The orange box was such a good deal

quams69, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

Damn, 16 here

easydnesto, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

11/22/2004 reporting in. Just currently 18 almost 19. I do not have a short steam ID though. Can’t remember which game was the first but pretty sure it was either half-life or HL2

I hit 16 a few months ago.

mosiacmango,

Orange box homies say whatsup.

funkmunki,
@funkmunki@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! I spent entirely too much time in TF2 and Gmod.

mosiacmango,

Haha yup. I bought it for half life, but figured i would play the other games first. Portal was amazing, so I gave TF2 a shot next.

I didn’t play half life for like 2 years.

wowbagger,

Hitting 20 in 5 hours… ;)

ipkpjersi,

I am at 16 as well. I feel so old now lol

aulin,

Only 18 here.

ReluctantMuskrat,

Same here. I created my account after getting Half-Life 2 for Christmas. Hard to believe that came out in Nov 2004.

XTornado,

15 here.

sugar_in_your_tea, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

Nice. I didn’t make a Steam account until it supported Linux back in 2013 or so. So I guess I’ll be celebrating 10 years on Steam soon.

Swarfega, do games w Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN

I’m like 3120 or something to sign up. That day was a complete mess as everyone signing up and trying to download their games DDoSed the platform. At that time Steam was just a client to download and play Valve games.

I was younger then and had my own domain thinking I was cool but it is actually shit and uses leet speak. I’m stuck with that forever now as my account name. Sigh.
