It probably unpopular here, but I think that starfield first was a good idea. It let them build and test a full game after changes to the engine. The feedback the mixed results can help make ES6 better if they actually listen to it.

You would think cops would welcome additional opportunities for bribes.

If someone wants to make an image for free without AI and propose a replacement, then it’s maybe worth voting. Replacing it for the sake of replacing AI is dumb. This is the perfect use for an AI image, it doesn’t really matter what it is and there’s no real budget to actually commission something.

Putting a real general in charge of it probably helped too.

I’m only in act 2. So far it’s been pretty good. It does a pretty good job of getting the 40k feel while also being approachable if you don’t really know much about it. It feels like there is some replay value for different play styles and team compositions.

It’s not really a negative, but because it’s 40k the alignment system is a bit weird. It’s imperium good (evil), chaos (extra evil), and iconoclast (less indiscriminate killing).

Line of sight is simulated from individual to individual, rather than the unit as a whole, and the game will also track the contents of individual magazines.

RIP my PC of I try to run this.

That’s generally how cult classics work. You see praise for The Big Lebowski because those that don’t like it mostly ignore it.

It’s considered the best by those that like it, New Vegas is very much a cult classic.

Patton wasn’t exactly wrong with that stance. It mostly came down to luck that centrally planned communism was a massive failure.

If you’ve played before, 1.0 is a pretty significant change. If you quit playing shortly after it blew up on 2024, it’s nearly a different game.

That’s 2/3 of what has been released this millennium. At this point it’s what the series is.

I think that misses the point of the series though, or at least 3 and 4. The point is that you become the god that saved or destroyed the wasteland. You become the legend for the next generation.

The death of Monty endured it would get worse.

People who think that something being fiction means there are no rules and anything goes are the most annoying people to discuss with.

So far just dlc for games I already own. Maybe I’ll get Slime Rancher.

It’s not so much that the games are bloated (they are), it’s that many are incredibly gated as well. There’s always been super grindy and bloated games, but the degree it’s done today is just different. You can’t just spend two weeks putting in 100+ hours into a modern game and complete everything. It’s no longer kill a million mobs to get this achievement, it’s kill 100 mobs max a day until you kill a million. It’s do this phase and wait a month for the next phase.

Diablo 2 is honest and open about it’s grinding, modern day games aren’t.
