Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Who's that blonde chick in her late 30s everyone is posting on screens?
Main character's mom?

Romanceable NPC:

That is Lemming42 on the far right.

Lemming is mining asteroid fields to feed their children. This is her "friend" who he shouldn't worry about.

Boiling the frogs in yet another area, to distract them from the coming worldwide digital dictatorship and enslavement of mankind.
Muh nogs, muh trannies, muh gender-neutral toilets, muh pronouns. If only you knew how bad things really are.

Hello there, 4chin user.
Make yourself at home. Just... post less anime girls around here.

I only used 4chan once appx 20 years ago to post muh Dick.
Reactions were overwhelming.

why did you do it tho

reminds me of cartoons I watched as a kid where people where breathing in the vacuum of space (and sometimes falling off spaceships toward who knows what)

I really like that they were willing to do that. In an RPG, you shouldn't be able to do everything right out of the gate, and the best ships should be locked behind the highest perk ranks for players who make the investment in the piloting skill. I was actually quite shocked when I hijacked a pirate ship only to discover I wasn't allowed to pilot it because my character simply didn't know how, was a very pleasant surprise coming from a Todd-era Bethesda game.

What was really impressive was that they put basic shit like stealth and persuasion behind perks. That's a brave design decision and it really does make character builds feel distinct from each other.

I have to agree.
My biggest complaint with how they abstracted Perks in Fallout 4 was that they did nothing interesting with it and opted mainly for bonus damage.
I'm kind of shocked to hear they've actually addressed it similarly to how I would have, and locked core gameplay features behind "perks".

Back to work after the holiday weekend

Hell, Akila is boring, I'm sorry to say. A bunch of crazies are larping Westworld in the middle of space. Not that we haven't seen worse from Bethesda...

Well, why not, the internet was much more fun back then and I was much younger.

Are pronouns rly stopping you from gaming? Or are you just a fake gamer?

I mean yes you can dislike them, but are they stopping you from playing the game? Are they stopping you from exploring, killing looting, building and all the other things the game has to offer? I dont think so.

Real gamers just play games and dont care about politics in the background or what agenda somebody might be pushing or what hidden message marketing has hidden in the game. Real gamers want to escape reality and all that by entering a fictional world and having fun with basic gaming.

I think most people here are fake gamers. They are social media people who dont want to play or dont even know how to play games, but want to pretend to be gamers for attention. They poison the community with their discussions and make this place look like some open politics forum at an university. This place should only be filled with gameplay related topics. Discussiona about quests, Questions about items, Guides, Bug reports, Hardware discussions and so on.

People comming here and complaining about stuff that has zero to do with the actual gameplay should just stay on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram or whatever place they originated from.

I as a real gamer couldnt care less for pronouns. They are in the game, so what? I can still explore, kill, loot and do quests. It has zero impact on my gameplay. Just go spam and have your discusions somewhere else and leave this place for the real gamers you fakes!

 

[GrainWetski]

I love the process of coming up with marginally amusing and possibly edgy monicker for this game.
Niggerfield - A bit too much.
Cottonfield - Clever. Not bad at all.
Garfield - I appriciate the contribution.
Toddfield - I'm pushing this one.

Trannyfield

Are we talking about that clone? That doesn't count right?
That would make Divayth Fyr a tranny-self-fucker... or something?

From what I understand you can make a tranny as the PC through the use of pronouns.

Bruv... that's every game now...

Weird, I haven't played a single game with pronoun options this year. Must be magic.

Stop consooming garbage ESG propaganda. You'll survive the FOMO, I promise.

real gamer

I need to go run some errands, but I just saved my game in the middle of exploring an abandoned Zero-G casino space station (Zero-G as in the casino was designed to be 0G, not that it has lost power to the gravity generators) and gunfights in 0G are pretty fun so far with your gunfire propelling you in the opposite direction.

All you plebes that couldn't afford to buy the patrician addition should soon be able to enjoy Todd's next big thing. It is pretty fun. A reminder to new players not to linger in New Atlantis when first starting. Only spend a couple hours there at most then venture out.

Probably not perma refunds. If you can get your $100 back easily then buy it again for less why wouldn't you?
The game is going to sell like crazy and numbers will most likely skyrocket.

 

[Old Hans]

this was a funny, novel thing in 2006 when Oblivion came out. Now its like watching an old washed up vaudville comedian do the same act he did back in 1910, which involved slipping on a banana peel for laughs

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Imagine refunding a game over pronouns.

"Gamers" my ass.

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

jesus christ the noise on steam is incredible, everbody is talking about refunding the game, but I wonder if it will still top BG3's steam player count, despite being on gamepass

I guess we will see tomorrow

Steam forums are always a dumpster fire when a game launches. Armored Core 6 experienced the same with people screeching refund because the first boss was too difficult lol. The noise to discussion ratio is probably like 9 to 1.

 

[Vyvian]

Do you still get Steam points for farming reactions on the Steam forums?
I know a popular pastime was to farm clown reactions for easy points to spend in their stupid little shop.

Some of these uenxplored systems are intended for level 40 characters. I'm level 24 and I've nearly finished all the big faction quests in the game, and many city side quests. What the fuck am I meant to do for 16 more levels? I don't know how the game's gonna sustain itself, unless an absolute motherlode of new content is going to suddenly spring up before me at some point.

Get fucked in the ass by one of the diversity hire women using a dildo.

maybe it some incentive for a new game + run? it gets the imagination going "ohh boy I cant wait to uncover what kind of randomly generated abandoned labratory is on that planet"

Do enemy levels even matter? I always feel like I’m fighting enemies above or below my level with no describable difference.

 

[tastywaffles]

Got to love all the retards that were actually excited for this game. The sooner people realize that RPGs are incompatible with action/shooter combat, the better. The very things that make a shooter or a hack and slash action game fun are mutually exclusive with what makes a RPG combat system fun.

I agree, at least when talking about skills affecting damage output or accuracy. This despite really enjoying Deus Ex. There are other RPG elements you could add, but the whole shooting at bullet sponge gameplay isn't really great, yeah.

Please combine your posts. You can reply to multiple people in a single post. That will also help your team's shilling come across as less irritatingly aggressive.

Also, kill yourself immediately.

they matter for human enemies, but not for wildlife
