Wasn't this the plot of a Star Trek movie? It made about as much sense there as it does now...

I do not know since I’ve only seen Wrath of Khan. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.

can't really hate the guy.
I don't know the whole catalogue of lies but one thing I dislike about him is that he keeps saying that technology keeps him from making incredible games.
Like that to me is infuriating. Back in the days, developers manager to create what we consider today classics, without complaining about the level of technology, just being passionate about gaming and being talented on top of it and of course having a vision about what they were making. Technology is much better than it was back then, it's the only thing that improves in this industry.
And this dude comes along saying stupid stuff like this.
Like, every game you make depends on the good will of an army of modders ready to fix the backwards shit you put out. Without them, your games barely run let alone be enjoyable. He acts as if every game he made was a classic or some such. He creates frames not games, spaces in which gamers and modders make their own experience.
Not to mention how he hyped Skyrim up before launch similar to how CP2077 was hyped, creating the impression that it was going to be the best game ever.
Guy's a salesman and a very good one at that. Dangerously so

Unfortunately he's on point about that, except he keeps crossing over into unbridled optimism when it comes to not selling short.
I correspond with GFX programmer daily and can tell you UE5 made and will make quite a splash especially because of the stuff Todd keeps mentioning (clarity, complexity).

Oh thank god, pronouns are in.

I realize a thing like that takes zero dev time, and so there's no reason anything else has to suffer for it, but I wish clown world didn't have to keep intruding into entertainment.

Honestly it'll probably be 80 hours of fun, and then 500 more hours of playing around with mods, so whatever.

I'm looking forward to the Warhammer 40k full conversion mods the most.

I just hope the game has full voice acting, and a nice dialogue wheel with a funny choice, an evil choice, and a good choice. I love the way dialogue wheels encourage roleplaying and multiple playthroughs :)

I too enjoy that. I like when all my roleplaying options are conveniently set up to all lead to the exact same outcome as well. It's just like in real life when some asshole asks me for a favor, I can say "Yes of course!" or "Yes, but look how snarky I am!" or "NO! Haha, gotcha, yes of course I'll do your stupid thing"

I would appreciate it if they could expand it to 8 ways of saying yes, but technological limitations and all that....

Not gonna buy it Todd. Fallout 4 was absolute dogshit. Skyrim was at best mediocre but tolerable for an Action-Adventure game. Oblivion was a broken mess of a blatant downgrade from Morrowind. Bethesda stopped making good games about the time Tribunal came out.

This game is DEAD for me. If game has pozzed pronouns = DEAD
It's certainly a red flag. But, if it's as enjoyable as fallout 4 and/or skyrim, but in space, I'm sure I'll get much enjoyment out of it. I'll gripe about all the things that could have been better, of course, but I'm expecting a solid 7/10.

I never played fallout 76 so I'm probably being optimistic.

On the contrary: Bethesda began making good games with Fallout 3. Everything prior was garbage. Skyrim and Fallout 4 are unsurpassed in terms of non-storyfag CRPGs to this day.

I can't wait to be disappointed by the concept art versus gameplay reveal.
At least the color grading from the leaks looks nice and crisp. Skyrim's certainly didn't do it any favors.
