sturmblast, w Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam

I think I’m one of the few people that actually really enjoyed it

shasta,

“enjoyed” past tense? I feel like that’s part of the problem. No replayability.

filcuk,

I’ve dropped it and will not go back unless I have no other chores to do.

Happy to let you do mine while I continue enjoying the game.

Astroturfed,

Skyrim took a while, and a lot of mods to get there. That’s not really a selling point/positive for a full price AAA game though IMO.

neokabuto,

Thr devs certainly think there’s replayablity since they try to force it on you.

Every time I go play it I barely make it an hour before I get incredibly bored. I think the Bethesda formula really didn’t translate well to the bland space theme and has just run its course in general, at least for me. The nagging issues like endless loading screens, forced fast travel, miniscule carry weight, annoying UI, and lack of basic settings don’t help either. I know there are mods to fix some of those, but we really shouldn’t have to rely on mods to do something as basic as change the FOV in a game published by a billion dollar company.

Astroturfed,

Solid points. I’d of preferred they just made another decent fallout game. I think I tolerate some of their shortcomings in those games better because of nostalgia…

Goo_bubbs,

Honestly, I was surprised to hear that the game forces fast travel. I mean, a small indie company like Hello Games managed to make a procedurally generated universe where you can hop in your ship, fly off the planet, and either cruise through the galaxy or turn on warp speed and leave it all behind. Hell, you can even do it all in VR.

Yet, somehow, Bethesda made a space exploration game that doesn’t really let you explore space.

Of course, this is only what I’ve heard about it. I’ve been way too busy playing Baldur’s Gate 3 to play anything else. But my hype for eventually playing Starfield has dwindled to a solid “meh”. Maybe I’ll play it sometime when I don’t have anything better to do.

This is a blast from the past. 3dRealms’ tweets are also being recommended to me lately. What’s the deal? I thought that studio closed shop ages ago.

Die4Ever,

I think they’re mostly just a publisher now, but they’ve been putting out good stuff.

It’s written Al makhfi-المخفي the hidden one in Arabic. They should have mentioned the brilliant artist name hatem arafa @hatem_arafa The eagle he designed for the soundtrack cover is Even more amazing.

All I remember about this game was how the media went nuts over how many times the word “fuck” was used in it. IIRC, it even had a dedicated “fuck” button!

It is not a grim end, it is a fitting end for the live service.

I can’t read the article due to my ad blocker. Oh well.

elbarto777,

What adblocker are you using? Mine worked fine.

Anyway, here’s the article:

"

www.thegamer.com It’s Official: Marvel’s Avengers Is Gone Rhiannon Bevan

After just three years, Marvel’s Avengers has been delisted. Anyone who owns it can still play, but it’s a grim end for the live service. Multiple heroes from Marvel’s Avengers

It’s happened, Marvel’s Avengers is no more. Just three years after launch, the game has been delisted from all storefronts but will remain playable for anyone who picked it up before the takedown. You should still be able to play with friends, but any issues you run into won’t be addressed, and there will be no more events.

This makes for a pretty short lifespan, particularly for a live service with much grander aspirations. It’s also a far more dramatic move than most publishers would make, as many would just stop providing updates for the game. Instead, Crystal Dynamics owner Embracer Group has gone as far as preventing any new players from picking up the game, even though both single-player and multiplayer elements are perfectly playable.

Marvel’s Avengers at least ended on a slightly better note than it opened on, as the price was cut by 90 percent. This netted you the Definitive Edition, which includes all of the cosmetics and DLC for free. In practice, this should help Marvel’s Avengers feel like any other single-player game, rather than a live service that just had its roadmap come to an end.

Alas, the Steam reviews were still “mixed” by the time Embracer pulled the plug, so its chance for a comeback seems to have come and gone. Admittedly, there’s a reason support didn’t last long, as it struggled to find its audience in a sea of other live services. Met with mixed reviews from launch too, its audience quickly grew frustrated with its online elements, including controversial paid XP boosters around a year after launch. In terms of sales, it performed below expectations but continued to receive updates and expansions regardless.

Through it all, it retained a dedicated, if often frustrated, audience. They were never afraid to make their grievances known, but they would stick with the live service through thick and thin. However, it seems that this just wasn’t enough to please Embracer Group when it acquired Crystal Dynamics in 2022.

We’ll have to see how the future fares for Marvel’s Avengers, now that it’s been delisted. The generous 90 percent off sale is likely to have enticed a few would-be players who were on the fence throughout the game’s online run, so who knows? Maybe it will pick up a cult following through its offline offerings. Yet this probably won’t be enough to secure the sequel that some fans were after, especially with Embracer Group tightening its purse strings in recent weeks. In practice, this has led to numerous layoffs across many of the studios it owns, so hardly a time that Embracer bosses would want to take a risk on a series that’s already failed once. "

You can just lie to the site. Clicking I’ve disabled my ad blocker seems to be enough.

simplylemons9001,

You sure? Most of them operate by detecting javascript blocking which seems impossible to work around?

@andthenthreemore@startrek.website avatar

The one on this site has a link at the bottom, saying I’ve disabled adblocking. I clicked that and it took me to the article.

A lot of other ones I’ve come across just disabling JavaScript is enough to bypass.

At first I thought, “Oh cool, they’re showing what the game used to look like before they reveal the new graphics.” But that is what the game looks like…? I mean, the before and after comparison footage looks completely identical, doesn’t it? It’s October 1st, not April. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I expected you to be wrong, but holy hell this is bad.

kurcatovium,

I went to watch the video with very low expectation after your comments and yet I was still really disappointed. It looks worse than the original to me, because it lost that early 3D look due to higher res textures here and there and now it’s just hideous.

CarbonatedPastaSauce, w Class Overhaul Trailer - Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

Is this game any better now? I played it on release but very quickly ran out of stuff to do. It seemed quite unfinished at the time.

junezephier,

Well, this class overhaul is one of the biggest things they’ll have done. Crafting is in and helps a lot. They’ve also worked out most of the bugs, and if i remember correctly, you can play solo now?

kryllic, w More than Skyrim or Fallout, Todd Howard says Starfield was "intentionally made to be played for a long time" and Bethesda's looking 5+ years ahead

They released the game 5 years too late, it was clearly made for a different market

Awesome! I just beat it and I guess I’ll prepare for a Duskmare run when the HD version comes out!

groucho, w Peter Molyneux is ready to disappoint us again with his latest game, a blockchain-based business sim
@groucho@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Molyneux’s great sin is the inability to shut the fuck up while he’s ahead. lt’s hard to explain how much weight this guy carried in the 90s/very early 00s but he was the guy that did Populus, Dungeon Keeper, and Syndicate. And then he just kept over-promising and fucking up for a whole decade.

If he’d kept it reasonable he might still carry some of that weight but he cannot stop promising the moon and then delivering mediocre shit. It would be like Miyamoto releasing flappy bird with NFTs instead of the next Zelda game. God he’s so frustrating.

brcl, w Free Starfield Copy When Purchasing an Xbox Series X at Select Retailers

I mean, Starfield will be free anyways as it’s on gamepass…

aaaaa, w Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam

It's OK, it's definitely less polished than other Bethesda games and given they're not known for polish it'd saying something.

It gives a 'rushed out the door for a midnight deadline' vibe.
