  and has quite a few decent mods that fix the annoying things like inventory

    Boy oh boy everyone hates inventory limits and tedious management but devs still feel the need to make sure we have a reason to return towns and what not as the excuse.

    Like fuck you, give me a better reason than inconveniencing the fuck out of me while I was out in your world having fun.

      cough Baldur’s Gate 3 cough. Why impose an inventory limit if I can just send all the loot I’m gunna sell back to camp? And why no quick “send to camp” hotkey?! Right clickin n shiiittt

        Inventory limits are a direct nerf to barrelmancy

    Mods are the very first thing that turns me off in a game. I want to play a game, not go stack mods on top of mods just to fix the shit the studio didn't feel like working on.

      They are optional you know?

        Sure, just like SkyUI is “optional” for Skyrim.

        Sure, you can. But you will gouge your eyes out.

        But Cities Skylines 1 is borderline unplayable outside of Steam (and vanilla in general) because they can’t use that one third-party traffic mod on the Steam Workshop that fixes the annoying only-one-lane traffic jams the devs did jack shit about until their recently-released sequel

        100% true - but if people feel the need to create so many mods, then there are probably lots of things people feel aren't good enough about the game. I'll admit my gaming time is limited, so just researching and adding mods could easily take all my time. I mean, fuck, I sold my Warthog HOTAS and went back to a cheap thrusmaster not because I liked the thrustmaster better, but because I was spending more time writing and fixing scripts and updating my bindings than actually playing the game. And every time an update would come out that would break a script I would spend pretty much my entire gaming time budget for a couple weeks just getting it running again. It got to the point where I just didn't play those games because every patch would change something and something (even something small) would break or be incompatible. I'm kind of over that.

  It’s $120 in Australia, even at 50% off it’s still more than I’d ever spend on a game. Just gonna keep waiting

    Being a patient gamer isn’t strictly about money. It’s about not getting caught up in hype and making more calculated decisions. Even so, wanting to pay what you think something is worth is just good practice.

      I'm not going to wait two years -- though I'm opposed to preordering -- but there are other benefits too. Two years down the line:

      • A bunch of bugs are patched. Even if Starfield is relatively free of bugs, there will be some.

      • The wikis for the game have been written up. Someone obsessive person will have sat down and figured out the quirks of game mechanics and documented them. Understanding stuff like the relative merits of armor-piercing, bleeding, and so forth in Fallout 4 was complicated.

      • Starfield's expansion packs will be out.

      • Mods will be out, and there will probably be some pretty "must have" ones.

    What if I told you it’s possible to have money and not want to waste it on dumb shit?

    • davepleasebehave@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Maybe that’s one of the reasons you have said money?

    Lmao I only buy games when they’re discounted too and suddenly I have 186 games in my steam library, most of them are still unplayed . I’m not in a hurry to buy more games with such a long backlog.

    Thanks. I might look into the endless things from 2+ years ago that are on sale now. Probably not though. Too many books to read. 😵‍💫

    • Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Throw some good books my way! I’m always on the lookout

        Hyperion+Endymion by Dan Simmons. Such a wonderfully written book that evokes so many sad feelings.

        It’s veeeery slow (basically the entire first book is build up for the second one), but it’s so rewarding watching all the threads come together by the end.
