I like this stuff and I wanted to get either this or Super Dungeon Maker.
But kinda hard to pick a side since they both look like they have overlapping small communities. And games like this, communities are the only reason to play.
After loving GTA 3 and Vice City and San Andreas, I strongly disliked GTA4. Story was fine, but they really went hard on terrible controls and boring missions.
GTA5 apparently “fixed it” by making the driving more arcade-like, but I forced myself to finish it to get to the ending. Flying was a bore. And again, boring missions.
Maybe I just like the more zany wacky open-world chaos that Just Cause, Mercenaries, or Saints Row provides.
Steam Deck absolutely changed my habits. I played more Elden Ring on it than I have my high end gaming PC. It’s just more convenient to turn on a play. Where lately, my gaming PC distracts me with emails, YouTube, random kinks like it can’t see my controller.
I don’t think Ill ever buy a gaming PC anymore and might fully switch to buying Steam Decks every few years.
Totally get it. I forced myself to play the “quests” and ended up loving just playing house. It really lacks a strong overarching story beyond killing mutated dragons and getting buddy buddy with the factions.
At my age, I’m kinda amazed how many games come out that are incredible. I still haven’t played half of the best games of 2023. So I have hope that Bethesda will do a Fallout 76 and suddenly Starfield is awesome.
If it doesn’t happen, that’s okay too. by that time, I’ll have to play the best games of 2024, 2025… Etc.
While you were over there playing your folklore Monkey game, doing your Fortnite dances, and trying to be Elden Lord, I was here studying the blade enjoying Starfield loading screens.
