Re: Lifelong Bethesda Fan Finally Answers: Does Starfield Actually Suck?

Dimey

I really enjoyed it on XSX back when it came out... Didn't crash more than a few times in >100 hours. Plus, I didn't play it like a Bethesda game, so wasn't exposed to the radiant / RNG rubbish as I kept to main quest, factions and side quests. I did enjoy it, despite all the flaws. Despite gaming for 40 years, I've only been playing open world and RPG games for 4 or 5 games. Since playing Starfield I've played Mass Effect, RDR2, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, and can now appreciate than relatively speaking, this game is pretty plain.

Wearing the Witcher influences proudly, but even more than I expected. Soundtrack sounds like the same chap, which is not a complaint, menus, combat, landscape, all very Witcher-y. Again, not a complaint.

Only slight worry, Witcher 3 was for me so great because of how memorable Geralt was, not just his story, but his character, the humour, just everything about him and the supporting cast. I hope this delivers in this way, as my only complaint from the gameplay and the trailers is, he seems a bit boring..

Edit - to say that as long as the character is interesting, this is my No. 1 most anticipated game of 2026

Re: Is Starfield's Crashing Finally Fixed on PS5?

Dimey

shame, I loved this on XSX, for all of its flaws, but am not spending a penny on this unless it gets fixed. which, sadly, seems unlikely knowing Bethesda.

recently played cyberpunk for the first time, and currently on horizon zero dawn. Starfield does seem pretty poor in comparison in so many ways...

Re: SEGA to Revive Old IP Like Outrun, Streets of Rage, and NiGHTS in New SEGA Universe Project

knowing Sega most of this will be t shirts and pointless merch.

as a childhood sega fanboy, who owned all their console and adored their arcade games, I've been let down too many times over the decades.

ended up buying a stream deck recently and now happily emulate every console and arcade game I want to play from them, as there is zero chance there will ever be a legal way to play most of these games on my PS5. sad

Re: Xbox Game Pass vs PS Plus: Was Sony Right All Along?

Dimey

I'm an outlier. I wouldn't do subscriptions for games if they were free, as I like having (owning) a library of my favourite games that I can play, no matter what - no removing / rotating from the service.

same way I still buy albums and movies.

it's either just my (advanced) age, or my brain, haha.

but on topic, as somebody who bought all the consoles, I never thought day 1 game pass games was smart or sustainable. Sony seems to have the better model - though I'm not a fan of either product.

Re: Starfield (PS5) - Better Than Ever, But Still No Space Skyrim

Dimey

fair review. comes down to what you want. it isn't a typical Bethesda game. but if you approach it with an open mind, and focus on main quest (which I really enjoyed btw), factions and side quests in the main hubs, there is a LOAD of content, and it's very good.

but if all you want to do is ignore the quests and explore, then it's not the game for you. doesn't make it bad. Just not for you.

Re: Opinion: Does Starfield Suck? People Keep Telling Me to Skip Its PS5 Release

I get really angry about the discourse on this game. it's not perfect but I sunk hundreds of hours into it and I loved it. And I'm somebody who has been gaming for 40 years. It's a GOOD game, not perfect but nothing is. It's a good game. The new content looks like it could elevate it to a GREAT game. Just give it a chance. So much blind prejudice against this game it's insane.
