      I have started a complete new game 2 days ago and have again a lot of fun with Starfield. Can’t wait to see all the new content from the DLC.

      I would say that Starfield is the best NASA punk planet exploration RPG Bethesda has ever made

          I never said it is the best game they ever made, but it is the best NASA punk space RPG they ever made 😁

      According to SteamDB: [edit:Starfield has] around 10k every day which is about the same as Hogwarts Legacy, Bloons TD6, and No man’s Sky

        Which version is that? The original Skyrim (aka oldrim) isn’t even purchasable on steam and hidden unless you bought it back then. But some people still play that because some old mods only support oldrim.

        Special edition is the main one now. It’s holding 30k very steadily since 2020 https://steamdb.info/app/489830/charts/#breakdown

        Many of modders also moved to gog version, myself included. Because I can permanently version control on gog unlike stream.

          Why? It has one of the biggest modding communities in gaming, so there’s a lot for people to like about it still, assuming they’re fine with modding it.

            because it’s slop. there are so many more games to play that have better writing, direction, characters, environments, exploration, combat, RPG elements, and overall design.

            I don’t get Bethesda fans insisting on modding bland ass games. you can play a game that’s better to begin with.

                I didn’t say it’s wrong, I said it’s sad. also star field is objectively the sloppiest slop game even coming from the slop masters that are bethesda game studios. literally nothing about the game is remarkable.

                while skyrim had a mediocre story handled badly and annoying af characters, it was at least carried by great environmental design and some memorable side quests, which is to say it greatly rewarded exploration.

                the one real strength of their open worlds, and they threw that in the garbage to instead add fishbowls of minimally randomized and endlessly repeated slop separated by untold amounts of loading screens, tedious inventory management, and empty space where you do nothing but run in one direction. because there isn’t even anything you can encounter between points of interests so you don’t even explore.

                yes, it is slop. and it is sad that people are playing that game for the sake of justifying their ovehyped purchase rather than playing better games which is almost any other game you have heard of.

          Why? I just played the original Deus Ex like two months ago? Is that sad too?

            the original deus ex is a masterpiece. you should be playing that every other year minimum. what the fuck kind of interpretation is that.

                I don’t have vr but if anything justified having it, it would be to immerse yourself in the world of deus ex.

                arkane’s prey would be nice too.

      I played 100 hours of Starfield. I dont remember much of it to be honest, nor am I interested in going back.

      And yet I picked up Elden Ring back up like half a dozen times since release.
