Unless it releases in a state even worse than their previous games I feel like this is going to be their biggest game since Skyrim.
I honestly believe the entire reason behind the delay of Starfield is because they want to polish the game enough as to not anger the execs at microsoft and make them do to bethesda what they did to obisidian.

I would however think having a bunch of different planets will see a return of some more interesting looking locations.
Despite many of the locations in Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, having a ton of copy-paste looking areas, they still had unique locations to explore, even if those locations inevitably end up becoming slashing/shooting galleries.
they were still there, and i highly doubt Starfield will be any different, Bethesda has clearly gained tons of money from doing what they do, and they haven't seen a single reason to stop, even those who hate their games eventually purchase it, whether it be on release, or two years from release, and that's my point. bethesda doesn't have some secret employee there who views each customer complaint individually and the reason being is that they've done the same game with the same design philosophy as before, and it always earned them a massive amount of money so in which case they see their method of developing video games to be perfectly fine. Despite the lots, lots of flaws many of the fans have highlighted about their games, and it's also not a coincidence how 90% of gameplay they highlighted in the trailer was shooting.


What areas from Fallout 4 and Skyrim are copy/pasted? Give me locations.
i said they look Copy-pasted, not that their outright copy and pasted, Skyrim's dungeons were handmade but they all re-use the same assets and textures for stuff, except for the unique dungeons, hmmmm that might have something to do with why they were unique? and the same goes for Fallout 4.

:roll: Anyways...

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I helped put crap in Monomyth
The one category I am interested in is the ship building/customization/tinkering. I'm fairly certain Todd, even with the surplus funds from daddy Gates, will still find a way to royally bug things out, and churn out a mediocrity...

BUT:

the ship building aspect is interesting, and, hopefully, hard leave bugs in. And it could make up for the other lacunas the game might have. I, for one, look forward to screenies from everyone displaying their unique ship designs.

Other than that, I'm sure it'll be the exact same thing as Skyrim was: a perfect 100IQ product, that will sell for a decade.

im pretty sure gates will gut todds budget as much as he can to buy more farmland and help to create artificial hunger to push their central bank shitcoin to desperate plebs and ofc eradicate large portion of population since consensual/semi mandatory euthanasia(cov vax) wasnt as popular as they hoped for.

Hello Games is like, 20 people or something? And what they have achieved (granted over a fairly long time period) is quite impressive.

So yeah, developers need to adopt a less is more approach to employee numbers

imo the only somewhat usable version of no mans sky is the first one, later it got only worse; they deleted cool soothing wavy grass along with crippling terrain generation making it way more borring (altho perhaps less buggy) killing the only thing nms could be; walking chill sim.

i have seen no improvement in no mans sky new versions as a whole; in fact it degraded into just adding pointless grind and removing mentioned basic function.

one thing procedural generation can never nail well without gargantous amounts of restrictions are critters. evolution (especially neo darwinian) is laughable pseudoscience that says nothing except claiming anti science(magic) aka randomness/non causality not only exists but is base of everything.

u cant make sensible algo thats not enviroment responding and that does not have any hardcoded cryteria of success that would make anything resembling organism.

unless u make it from very simple/limited presets with minor variations like cow with smaller or bigger horns which i hope beth will do.

You can still make a game look great on a much more managable budget. Especially if you're not as concerned with games looking hyper realistic.
I mean, I agree but expensive assets is pretty much what defines a AAA title. You can convincingly argue that indies are better games for their tighter focus but they definitely have to give up some of the pricy features that the big boys advertise. If you consider all that cruft to be feature bloat, more power to you. Better games for less.
Games with expensive graphics are like books with expensive font. After a while you don't notice anymore. This applies to pixel art as well. The supreme game contains pure information in vein of roguelikes, that one unfinished warhammer fleet commander game, or that one ultra complex space expansion game that randomly CTDs in later stages.

Wrong on all counts. He personally oversees the Starfield project and constantly redirects the funding towards its completion. That explains the weak performance of monkeypox.

Umm. No. The game is way better than it was.

I cum from a land down under
Insert Title Here
mario and most 2d/platformers (beside those pvp i guess, but 2d space limitation and lack of fog of war are issues there too) are very bad games/bad examples of using simulation in warfare as they are usually based on low level pattern memorization rather than advanced sandbox to model and deploy/test strategies. mario dosnt reward thinking, just memory and reflex.
I don't know if you've noticed, but a very old school genre of gaming called "sports" is highly dependent on one's motor reflexes as well as broader strategies. These "sports" are still well-designed games and fun to play even if your execution is poor. And this is coming from a 4th-year JV kid (which is American for "sucks at sports").

dunno about that but i despise anything sport related. not because sports are funded by jew banking cartel to distract plebs, but because they mutiliate/distort idea of war by absurd of its arbitrary restrictions and lack of application in real conflict where those restrictions are not enforced.

war is everything, its purpose of existence of every self directing/developed consciousness (i dont consider vagina developed consciousness ofc); u live to be better soldier and excel in all aspects of warfare and u do it firstly by not limiting yourself by any bs restriction (like morality/religions developed to make plebs non competetive) other than those that are immutable/external like laws of physics(and even those are more reactive than jew stream media wants u to believe).

peace (or something close to it) is only achived when all participants are masters at war as there is no easy prey left.

reflexes and basic patter cognition and like 0/negro level warfare where your opponents play 5th and 6th gen warfare (which btw includes time travel technology aka save scumming).
