Every time this game pops up it bums the hell out of me. The planetary art team absolutely 100% delivered, it can be jaw dropping... and that's it. It is simply a very very very mediocre game.
@glassmusic I couldn't disagree more with the idea it plays like Skyrim/Fallout in space.
Except for being a Bethesda game, it doesn't have much in common
Exploration is bad, really really bad. Some pretty sky box's/ planets though.
Weapons are 1 note and boring for the most part.
Some of the " key" systems are, I'm not joking, possibly the worst I've played in a long time.
Quest design and dialog is just really poor.
Can you still have fun? Sure, I got 100 hours out of it( I'm pretty sure 20hrs were me falling asleep- not joking)
I seriously debating buying a gaming monitor, hiding it in the work office and throwing the PS5 in a padded bag so I can play during downtime(work internet is just lousy enough the portal is hit or miss) so I can catch up on games I'm looking forward to.
Going to be at least a year or two before I can get to this with my "yet to get to play list"
I'll never understand how people think "there's no games"
@Ryu_Niiyama I'm counting on it, 7 more years to go if I last that long. If Starfield is any indication of where they are as a studio, I'm slightly terrified of how they might turn a money printing game into a "well......that sucked" moment
@ButterySmooth30FPS Originally, got it for Starfield..........whoops... But it's still worth for b/c, cause Far Cry 2, Fear, SW games Oh and 270 hours of Stalker 2
This should be entertaining, ferocious and passionate fan base that refuses to learn lessons. Endless " Won't get me again DICE", for a year straight on BF threads.... Boy do I miss a sincere BF game, please don't screw this up
Some of you are beyond ridiculous .... Ubisoft has been in the news a lot for bad things/ bad luck. This IS A VIDEO GAME WEBSITE, the header lead is QUITE LITERALLY "RANDOM".... I.. just what????.... HUH??? WHAT is wrong with you all, whining about NERD news on a nerd game site...
@Korgon As a mental health professional, this is the summation of humanity as it is, and more than likely will always be. The medium that is the internet is an ever growing soapbox that will fuel uncivil discourse for generations to come🤷♂️ The mediums change, but people will always disagree on something, it's just who we are
The discourse around this game is off to a swimming start......
I do wonder about the opening though.....
The head shaving was a calculated scene, ND knew it would bring out the mobs screaming " 😱 Woke" and the other mob screaming " 😱 Incel" while rational civil discourse drowns in the corner.
@DonJorginho That's a slippery slope. Next thing you know your spending too much time playing with sliders for that sweet FPS/fidelity ratio, and you look up and think "wait isn't this why I left PC 🤪
Look I love playing in 4k on the big screen as much as anyone. But being able to game on any piece of furniture, or relaxing outside, to be sitting in my office and getting paid to game for hours is peak video game bliss. I don't want them compromising the PS6 though, so bit of give and take
@LifeGirl I can appreciate you keeping too your morals. But......... you could buy copies used and it wouldn't be morally objectionable because you aren't rewarding them with money. Course you would get counted as a new player....
CP2077 is so crazy good, sucks if you had to miss it
@Mikey856 Steamdeck does very well for what it is. Fallout 4 runs fantastic on it, as did CP2077, Senuas Sacrifice, and a ton of other games, Baldurs Gate 3 has a lot of fans on Deck. I'm not sure what you thought you were getting for that price point, but it's fantastic kit
I bet I payed through KZ 1 10 times, loved the gameplay and world of it.
If they won't go back, at least remaster the damn things.
I'm a day 1 a Sony Playstation fan, but I have not purchased any 1st party games in awhile, seems like it has all been so cooki cutter sterile and ' safe"
I felt it would be wise for me to just avoid all articles surrounding this game as the discourse was going to eye rolling and insufferable to wade through.
Turns out Ubisoft took the stupid crown and ran for it, and...... face planted into a brick wall they built💩💩💩💩💩
I pre-ordered Starfield and I'm still pissed at myself, and I had "swore" I'd never do it again years ago. That game bums me out...... Stalker 2 is very exciting, but I'm just waiting out player reviews in this instance. Not FOMO for me, just being an overhyped gamer

Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
@trev666 I loved it, being from a smaller community, I thought the story was actually pretty decent.
Until I hit that 3rd area and.......I just couldn't keep going, still have no idea how it ends
Re: Forza Horizon 5 (PS5) - Xbox Had the Best Open World Racer All This Time
@Toot1st @IOI
played it a bit after release and it was still too much too quickly.
I had a blast, but after 10 hours I was kind of burned out- I simply don't get how this was a 10 for some people for me a 7/8.
Also the Xbox tax.... seriously....
Re: Forza Horizon 5 (PS5) - Xbox Had the Best Open World Racer All This Time

Ahem... don't you know reviewers have "taxed" Xbox games for a decade now?
Can't believe that conspiracy has stuck around😆

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
@Toot1st
I grew up on Indy movies, family night was a lot of " Young Indiana tv show "
But I am NOT a fan of 1st person sneaking, at all.
Hate it with so much, Iam glad people like it, just not my thing sadly
Re: Oblivion Remastered Out Now on PS5, Price and Download Size Revealed
Sweet this looks like a great middle of the winter revisit, remember almost nothing from the PS3 play through
Finally beat Stalker 2, been adoring Witcher 3 and slow rolling RE4 remake, so much gaming goodness
Re: Oblivion Remastered Out Now on PS5, Price Revealed
@batosaims it took 6 years for just wait
' next year the games will come"
but they really have nailed it, so much coming from MS publishing
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
Purexbox.com review was pretty blunt, he didn't enjoy it for probably the same reasons I wouldn't
Huge Indy movie fan, but the game just doesn't sound fun IMO
Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Isn't Going Open World, But Bigger Locations Are a Focus
The problem with that is, smaller worlds in the first game and they were still empty and dull
I'm sure this will be Avowed with guns template- just enough to be kind of okay

Re: The Oblivion Remake Will Release This Week, Says Bold New Rumour

You Suck

Re: Starfield Could Have Released on PS5 Already, Work Has Been Ongoing for a While
Every time this game pops up it bums the hell out of me.
The planetary art team absolutely 100% delivered, it can be jaw dropping... and that's it.
It is simply a very very very mediocre game.

It kind of does look like Fallout 3/Vegas with graphics mods.

No point in building a redundant library, I'm not sure why that point is confusing
Re: Rumour: Halo: The Master Chief Collection Coming to PS5 This Year
As a 1st time Xbox owner, not sure how i feel, still reluctant to buy games for Xbox
As a gamer since 87, this would be pretty cool for PS fans.

Re: PS Store 30th Anniversary Sale Offers 2,000+ PS5, PS4 Game Deals
@LifeGirl Quick question, just to lead off of that, were digital Black Friday prices much higher than normal, discounts not as good as years past?
It seemed like across PS and Xbox, a lot of games were not on sale, and if they were the prices were really really really disappointing.

Re: Sony's Latest First-Party Release Is Struggling to Do Concord Numbers on PC

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Slips PS5 Screen Tearing Bug into Latest Patch
