Which is just frustrating because there’s some real improvements in mays of their usual systems elsewhere in the game. The I think the persuasion mechanics are a real step up from previous games and I’m amazed the system hasn’t been ported into Skyrim. They got flight mechanics to actually work in the Creation engine. Zero-G and low gravity works great. Gunplay and combat is even more improved over Fallout 4 (though it’s an incremental improvement over the revolutionary leap made with Fallout 4).
Imo, Starfield is mainly lacking in only a few (though critical) things. They need more than 4 fleshed-out companions, and have them for different factions; there’s a couple of NPC’s that I expected to become companions. Since they insistend on having procedurally generated content, they needed to add way more pieces to their tilesets and, more importantly, have an algorithm to stitch things together and have some actual variety. As it is right now, you get the same exact facilities copy-pasted as whole spaces with no variation. And they needed to not force you into the main storyline, or at least pull a Fallout: New Vegas and have multiple paths through the main storyline.
There’s a lot of good bones to be had in Starfield, which just makes the cock-ups more disappointing since they’ll lead to those imprpvements being abandoned
Plus the updates keep breaking mods. Part of why I’m holding off on another playthrough is that I’m worried he’s going to add one more update as soon as I finish a modlist and boot up
At this point I wouldn’t call the Assassin’s Creed franchise “good”. “Painfully mediocre” is closer to what I’d call it, but that’s just Ubisoft games in general nowadays
Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs
Seconded. I feel similarly with some bad audiobooks. I’ve considered seeding them, but then that’s more listeners who might like it and give them money. So I settled for leaving bad reviews and washing my hands of it
