Recent releases. In my opinion they haven’t released a good game in years. To be fair I have not played Starfield though. Space themes don’t really excite me.
I for one refuse to care about this game until six months after release, when reviews are in and first batch of patches have been added. Skyrim may be great today, but it was a buggy mess upon release.
Same. After a few hundred hours in ESO, which was a far better experience, and watching a few videos on Starfield, I’ve got zero desire to buy a new Bethesda single player game.
Starfield feels exactly like Skyrim did. Which is the problem. This isn't 2011 anymore and their faults that they refused to learn from or fix aren't cute but annoying. Bethesda is your college boyfriend who never learned to do the dishes or cook and they're 40 now.
This will make me more likely to buy certain games, absolutely. And it’s really not that I feel ashamed or whatever about them, but more like, I know some people are judgey, and I’d rather not have them in the know lmao. Also work/professional stuff.
Unpopular opinion: Decisions that make impacts on the overall plot are far less impactful than the immediate effects. Priority of branching storylines should be placed close to when the decision was made with only a couple rare decisions that affect the overall story and aren’t obvious to the player.
For example: Letting players affect first the conversation, then the scene, then characters, then the plot. And seldom the plot. Give a few different endings, sprinkle in some unique scenes or events, and you’re golden.
I don’t even understand how/why this game needs an online mode? There are only four playable characters. Give me four player couch coop and an optional online mode, and it will be the only game four people can play together in a room.
As much as I agree with the communities disdain for Overwatch 2. Blizzard knocked it out of the park with steam integration. No launcher, just sign into your account and it links them and you have your friends lists available. I hope that blizzard keeps this up and releases more games through steam this way.
But the difference is that blizzard moved from bnet to steam and companies like Ubisoft/ea tend to make steam a launcher launcher. DRG devs (rock and stone!) Build up from nothing with steam so it’s easier to convince them to do it. They didn’t start with a launcher so making one doesn’t make sense.
I have a lot of criticism for The Witcher 3, but one thing I really appreciated was making lore and character background available for reading. It really helped with this newcomer’s understanding of the world and story. (And later, with my understanding of the TV series.)
