  It’s crazy how much better the plot and setting are in that game despite the fact it has maybe a 1/10 of the content Starfield does.

    Man Outer Worlds was so cringe to me. I tried really hard to get into it but it felt like it just kept rehashing the same jokes over and over. “Haha I’m owned by a company and they’re cheap and I’m silly!” Just over and over and over. After 10-15hrs I put it down for good.

      This is exactly how I felt playing it. The game played like a much improved fallout, but it took modern fallout’s shitty cynical “everything is a joke” attitude and multiplied it by 10. It was insufferable.

      Stanfield hasanaged to tone it down, but every once in a while I see the fallout “jokes” pop up.

  I’m viewing this game as more of a modder’s platform. It’s really the whole reason I play BGS games. As such, it works perfectly the way it is. It’s decent out of the box, but once the CK comes out and the mods start rolling in, it’s going to be perfect.

    I just found it too boring to play. I play games to have fun.

      Same. Tried to honestly enjoy. Some magic is just not there in this one.

      Mods will likely fix that issue. Some Skyrim mod collections turn it into a Survival/action rpg that is far more fun than the base game.

        Okay, but why am I buying a game purely so that someone else can make it worth my money? I played THE FUCK out of vanilla skyrim and loved it far before modding it. I could not even finish FO4 on release and have never gone back (I’ll say it, it was boring! Skyrim actually kept me engaged/caring, FO4 cannot) I’m fine with heavily modding my game, but fuck me the base game needs to be at least enjoyable first
