It is wild that Outer Worlds 2 is their poster child for this.

The first game was essentially a gussied up "AA" game. I hope this means that there's more meat to the sequel, but Avowed didn't impress me at all.

Starfield isn't my favorite, but I still have close to 200 hours in it and will occasionally jump back in, so I'm not ready to write Bethesda off yet. They have two more games left where I'll keep caring, this and the next Fallout, after that it won't really matter to me.

It's trendy to hate on Bethesda. Don't you know, their entire game design philosophy is outdated because NPCs don't move during dialogue like in Cyberpunk 2077?

Starfield is literally space Daggerfall. People act as if Daggerfall is one of the greatest games of all time, but it's 95% randomly generated content.

I think if you are the type of Bethesda playing who likes to, for example, pick a direction and just go there, seeing what kind of trouble you get to along the way, Starfield doesn't exactly scratch that itch. The randomly generated content wasn't a bad idea, but there weren't enough parts thrown into the blender.

It's hard to argue though that you don't literally trip over mountains upon mountains of side quests just by "playing the game." There's a lot of content on offer with Starfield. You just access it in a different way.

I just want to see the KOTOR remake before I die :lol:

This is the best thread I have ever seen.

I've played through about 5-6 missions so far, and I'm not entirely sure about how I feel. This kind of feels like Doom if it was made by Activision.

It feels solid, but's missing a certain something that made the previous two so memorable.

In my view, all they have to do is make a follow-up to Doom 2016, but they keep throwing the baby out with the bathwater for every subsequent game. Sometimes that works out. Most people think Doom Eternal is better than 2016 (I don't). I don't think anyone will think the block/parry mechanics in this game are superior to Eternal.

Employers refuse to train employees. Employers hire employees out of school with no experience. Employer complains that employees behave like they’re poorly trained. Duh: YOU DID NOT TRAIN THEM!!

I would think college grads can be excellent hires. They are cheap, and you can mold them into whatever you want them to be. They come with no preconceived notions regarding how work is supposed to be.

There is a cultural aspect though. I've seen that gen z are much more likely to buy into all the quiet quitting stuff.

Wow, I thought the entire trailer was comprised of cutscenes. I also wonder if they mean it was captured on a base PS5 or a Pro.

I can almost guarantee it's on PS5 Pro :lol:

The ability to show off the game using the highest possible visuals is one of the main reasons why multiple graphics modes exist in games.

I was like, "why is their ROG branding on an Xbox handheld?"

I am not inherently wild about most indie games, but I do gel with some of them from time to time. The AA space is where it's at for me. Games like Robocop Rogue City, Plague Tale, Vampyr, Space Marine 2, etc.

I think the biggest problem is that indie studios prove that big triple A studios don't need 500 people working on a game in order to make good games. Big triple A studios suffer from the same level of organizational bloat as a lot of corporations

It's like a lot of these developers are so incredibly out of touch with what people want. That would have flopped harder than Marathon.
