Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

The thing that strikes me as different is that Sony cultivated those studios for a long time to the point that when they were acquired a lot of people went “wait, they didn’t own them already?”. They didn’t feel like they were taking anything away from MS since 99% of those studios releases were on...

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

I don't think Sony have fallen behind this generation with their exclusives at all. They've utterly blown Microsoft away again which is why Microsoft are just trying to buy up already established franchises and studios to try and plug the gap. Microsoft have released absolutely nothing of note this...

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

I think the idea that Microsoft doesn't have the exclusives compared to Sony is a tired argument as to why they fell behind this generation. Sony's output has been just as paltry at times as Microsoft, this year they have had FFXVI and a few VR titles. Both companies have struggled to get a consiste...

Re: Starfield has a release date

I've not had issues with the NPCs I talk to but the followers are as bad as ever, made funny when they pop into the conversation and they are on the floor below so you just get a shot of the ground instead of their character model.

Re: Starfield has a release date

Ahh yeah I am. In terms of Freespace I think there is even less for Bethesda to take from that, as they are not making that type of game at all.

Re: General Gaming News

You do have to wonder if this was the plan all along, and they're changing from an extremely unpalatable option to one that's still unpalatable, but in saying they've "listened to feedback" it makes the unpalatable option seem more reasonable. It just seems odd that two games companies (albeit diff...

Re: Starfield has a release date

The thing is, Freespace made a cracking space game that wasn't the least bit boring, full of stuff to do, and honestly needs a line-by-line reboot into a next-gen gaming engine. I know it wasn't a galaxy full of stars, and no "planetary exploration," but still Bethesda could have taken a few tips f...

Re: Starfield has a release date

with absolutely nothing of value to discover on a big chunk of it? I mean that's space basically and is the issue at the core of any space exploration game, but I don't plan to spend a lot of time walking across planets no. Most the time I will visit the point on the planet I have set out to go to ...

Re: Starfield has a release date

On a planet I saw a ship landing in the distance, so decided to go and see if there was anything there. Firstly, I agree with the comment someone made about the game needing vehicles for planetary travel, as it's exceedingly dull to run and jet for entire kilometres. I passed a few points of intere...

Re: Starfield has a release date

Yeah outposts are much more interesting than they were in Fallout 4 and are a really good way of making money. You can set them up in such a way that you can get mini production lines that help with research and crafting. I was reading an article on PCGamer about Outposts early where the person bein...

Re: General Gaming News

Even if they do roll it back I think they have already done a lot of damage to the brand. Many developers will be considering whether it is worth sticking with an engine from a company that acts in this haphazard way.

Re: Starfield has a release date

I mostly travel with Sam Coe as he seems to be somewhat morally grey, but he never shuts the fuck up on or off the ship. I'm starting to really hate the space combat, getting jumped by 4 enemy ships as I enter a star system really gets old quick. I usually get shredded and sit in the loading screen...

Re: Starfield has a release date

After each major quest line, your companions will have stuff to say about how you handled things. I got absolutely mauled by everyone over my despicable business ethics at Ryujin. :lol: I’ve taken to solo flying again for a while. Sarah is currently my companion and last night I spent time helping ...

Re: General Gaming News

It's a right mess. There has been further clarification overnight around Game Pass, bundles and demoes and it will only count the one install, not reinstalls although it will count installs on multiple devices. But it isn't much clearer how this is meant to work especially around how they will know ...

Re: Starfield has a release date

Only managed to put 4 hours into the game so far, been too nice to be stuck inside playing Starfield. Hope to put a good amount of time into the game this week. I've enjoyed what I've played so far, it feels quite different to previous Bethesda games in some ways as you are not doing the usual thing...
