There’s quite a wide range of reviews. I tend to trust the ones who talk about how much fun the side content and faction quests a lot more than I trust the ones that were underwhelmed by the main questline. I’ve been playing these games since Oblivion and the only main questline I ever finished was Fallout NV.
Not really the same type of game at all. Elite is a fun simulation but there’s essentially no story.
In the same way, I’m sure the space combat will be fun in Starfield, with essentially no depth.
All of the most positive reviews I’ve read have been at 80+ hours. Still finding new things to do, which is a good sign.
Docking point for subjective things is weird to me as well. “I wanted a minimap!”
This reviewer also went right into NG+ after finishing the main story. I guess play how you want, but that feels deeply wrong to me.
Ohhh, so that’s why he was called Buzz Lightyear!
I mean it’d be as realistic as the rest of the AITA posts, I’m on board
That’s the thing though, it’s not Netflix vs cable anymore. It’s Netflix + Disney + Prime + whatever other streaming services have the shit you actually want to watch. And when you add it up, it’s just like cable packages. The only advantage is it’s all on demand.
I think it’s just a human problem. You or I may like to read long form journalism, but we’re in the extreme minority. It’s not dying because it was so hugely profitable.
Logistically too, if you’re trying to parse through the top 100 tweets in a day, and each one takes multiple paragraphs to get to the point, the amount of various viewpoints the average person is able to interact with shrinks dramatically.
Granted, it seems like everyone is taking the forced brevity as an excuse to just write +1 to pile onto their side, since that’s easier.
Lol this is such a weird sentiment to me. You realize many of us do walk everywhere, right?
Meritocracy is a myth though, perpetuated by those lucky enough to benefit from existing systems.
It’s completely circular. I’m on top and the people who are on top are the best so because I’m on top I’m the best.
It never accounts for all the myriad non-merit related ways folks get on top in the first place.
Strongly agreed! That’s been my sentiment exactly. That’s why I’m not at all bothered when people compare the numbers and show how many orders of magnitude more people are on Reddit. That’s just fine with me.
Lemmy scratches the same itch, it isn’t the same 5 posts circulating for three days anymore, and we seem to have reached a critical mass where it feels just like it should, but without the shitty bits.
God this is horrific. I love it.
That’s fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.
I’m just hoping there’s an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that’s not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I’m hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.
