I fucking hate that they bought out one of my favorite devs and refuse to share. Fuck Microsoft, I’m even less inclined to buy their trash now.

picked the wrong team

Kujo,

Oh shut up, it’s releasing day one on Steam. Show me a first party game that is also releasing on a different marketplace on Day 1. Quit crying. It’s not like they are forcing you to buy an Xbox.

Or shit if you really wanted you could even just buy a month of gamepass and stream it to your TV/phone.

He talked a lot about his experience and feelings (and that's great!) but I wish he went a bit more into actual mechanics. How "RPG-like" is the game, do choices and builds matter or do you just stack stats and better gear? How is the enemy scaling? What are the build archetypes, if any? Other outlets said the exploration is a bit lacking, so is the settlement building complex enough to carry the game on its own or are we going to have to wait a few years until we get "sim settlements" or something?

It definitely looks like a purchase for me down the line but I still can't tell what kind of demographic is the game actually aimed at, if that makes sense. Is the focus exploration? Basebuilding? Story? Or is it really everything a bit but nothing in specific?

korendian,

You can make of it what you want, but you have to make the effort. There is a mission for base building, and mission boards for doing cargo, bounties, exploration, etc. The game does start out with the storyline, but it doesn’t force you to stay on the story past a certain point, you are free to go off and do what you want, but it also doesn’t hold your hand, and you have to figure out a lot of mechanics on your own.

The Escapist preview essentially confirmed my fears - I guess I’ll patiently wait for TES IV.

Don’t worry, the release is only in -17 years.

What did the escapist say that turned you off?

I love handcrafted world of skyrim. Escapist preview essentially mentioned that a lot of the starfield world is barren procedural-like planets. I would love an exploration game. I’m not sure I want a game with bazillion planets each of which has essentially same outpost (from design perspective). Granted, I might be wring, I keep watching reviews and opinions, but at this point, the game is not instabuy, more like wait for a sale - if it kept its hype.

DulyNoted,

That’s fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.

I’m just hoping there’s an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that’s not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I’m hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.

Wumbologist,

It’s not that I’m surprised. Personally, it’s that I felt the procedurally generated content in Skyrim and Fallout 4 was their weakest aspect. The quality, hand crafted content is why I enjoy their games.

I’ve been skeptical of this one since they announced the whole 1000 planets thing. I’m checking up on reviews and waiting for the general public to get their hands on it cause I just don’t really trust that they can make quality procedurally generated content.

    It sounds like this one doesn’t really need patches to be fun, it is in a pretty polished state on day 1. Which is weird for a Bethesda game.

    learningduck,

    Seems more polished than other games. Winner what kind of fantastic mods are going to be made for it.

    unpoetical,

    Don’t forget to save some cash for the XE, YE, ZE editions that will come out every three years and woo the modding community.

    Annoyed_Crabby,

    Tbf, Fallout 4 only have goty and vr edition as an option, which is pretty standard for game.

    Glad to see the reviews are coming in mostly positive, I’ve been looking forward to this game.

    I can't believe how much this game has missed the mark.
    Assassin's Creed: Black Flag but with none of the Assassin/Templar shenanigans. That's all they had to do...

    Frogster8,

    That’s pretty much all I’ve wanted in a game since I played AC4 or the pirates of the carribean on xbox.

    So much so that while at uni doing comp sci I started trying to get into game dev just to learn that knowing how to program was such a fraction of requirement, I couldn’t make 2D or 3D assets at all, just don’t have the flair for it and didn’t want to use bought assets.

    Still waiting for somebody to make my dream game

    citrusface, do games w Sea of Stars Review | IGN

    I’ve played the demo for this and I really loved it. I going to pick this up Friday, so I can have something to chill with after getting frustrated playing AC6

    Jaeger86, do games w Skull & Bones Beta Preview: Yes, We Really, Finally, Actually Played This Game | IGN

    I’m really excited for another boring ubisoft open world wasteland with next to nothing going on. Or gated off by a “gear score” grind-a-thon. Not to mention how excited my wallet is to buy all those juicy timesavers & monopoly money

    dlpkl, do games w Skull & Bones Beta Preview: Yes, We Really, Finally, Actually Played This Game | IGN

    So no boarding, no diving, no hunting, no on foot combat or exploration. Wtf have they been doing all this time lol

    robotrash,

    From my understanding they’ve been desperately trying not to release it lol

    PenguinJuice,

    Yeah. Underwhelmed is a bit of an understatement.

    ClarkDoom, do games w Skull & Bones Beta Preview: Yes, We Really, Finally, Actually Played This Game | IGN

    Seems interesting.

    The intro to this game seems to start off pretty slow, but I think I’m over that hurdle at this point. It’s getting more interesting.

    busydoinnothin,

    How long is the intro?

    garretble,
    @garretble@lemmy.world avatar

    Maybe an hour?

    busydoinnothin,

    Sweet, I’m gonna check it out tonight! Thx.

    baseless_discourse, do notjustbikes w Even Small Towns are Great Here (5 Years in the Netherlands)

    Videos idea: disabled transport in netherlands, how do people move around when they cannot cycle.

    Since one of the major copium people have about car dependency is disabled people/elderly have a hard time riding bike. Yet, in reality, it is much more expensive/dangerous to put a disabled/elderly in a car than public transport or a electric wheel chair than in a car.

    On the other hand, I am also curious whether a electric wheelchair will congest the bike lane, given the bike lane is kind of narrow.

    ruk_n_rul,

    NJB already featured the tiny four-wheeled car thingy that people use for exactly this. Idk which video exactly, but it’s there for anyone to comb through.

    Being orange-pilled is painful in situations like this; you know the exact thing the Dutch already figured out but unless you have the exact video ID and timestamp on the ready you’d have a hard time pushing back the cope-ists. Even the ones that insists there’s no way these people are mobilizing outside of public transport.

    Nouveau_Burnswick,

    One of the shots in this very video has one of those.

    ruk_n_rul,

    It’s bound to be in any video, but there’s one where he talks about it.

    I am also curious whether a electric wheelchair will congest the bike lane

    I think it may, but not by much really… Cargobikes and the style of bike commonly used in the netherlands has handlebars that are pretty wide already.
