Starfield Thread - now with Shattered Space horror expansion

[Gargaune]

I haven't bought a new game since Starfield was released. And I don't know if it will happen within the next year. I'm really tired.

Sounds like you're experiencing the Holiday Blues with a side of severe videogaming ennui. Don't worry, there is a solution: Disciples 2.

Sounds like you're experiencing the Holiday Blues with a side of severe videogaming ennui. Don't worry, there is a solution: Disciples 2.

My ennui started in September and is growing every month. Actually, the only thing I managed to finish was The Silver Case, an adventure game. I also played a bit The Evil Within, but I get tired easily by rails-shooters.

But I know Disciples 2. I finished both games a few years ago. I also know that there are some fan modifications from Poland (?), but I don't know if they work with the GOG version.

The OpenGL wrapper works perfectly and custom campaigns seem to load fine, though I only ever checked one. If you mean other modifications, I'm afraid I don't know.

Disciples 2 is just my go-to videogame when I'm too bummed out for anything else. No room in your brain for other shit when it's 3AM and you're all like "just one more turn..."

I hope his review is positive.

It is not.

"Like, where's your PR training?" is the best part. Bethesda PR comes from the school of Pete Hines, where it's okay to blindly and disingenuously run fanboy defense for the game company you work for and shit on customers for being nerds that care too much about games.

It's like they've never heard the age old adage of "the customer is always right" before. Even if you think that someone is wrong about something, you're meant to come up with a neutral or understanding PR response or simply not respond at all when you're working for a billion dollar company, not be intentionally provocative and rude to the people that pay your salary by buying your shitty games.

If starfield was in the best starfield category, it would losse.

Hopefully, Cyberpunk will win the best woke / LGBTQ category, honor's saved for Poland.

Please keep your anti-Polish butthurt exclusive to offtopic forum. When it leaks into rpg discussions it's becoming even more pathetic.

A lot of expectations for a company that advertised nylon canteens(or bags, I forgot) for the Fallout 4 collectors edition and then refused refunds when people found out it wasn't nylon at all.

Canvas bags or smth

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Yeah I guess.

I'm not going to watch this but I thought to post something positive in this thread, I hope his review is positive.

No, I'm going to post something positive in this thread: I see you've got something new to you, sire!

Even the smut is underwhelming

Fallout 76

Canvas bag was nylon.
Power Armor helm had toxic mold.
Nuka Rum bottle was a plastic shell containing a bottle of rum inside that spilled when you poured it.

 

[Silverfish]

And if you think all that's bad, it also came with Fallout 76.

But we’re not just here to say goodbye to 2023. We’ve been hard at work on everything coming to Starfield in 2024. While we’re not ready to go into all the details just yet, here’s a glimpse at some of the things we’re cooking up.

First, we’re targeting updates roughly every six weeks starting in February. These updates will include everything from quality-of-life improvements to content and feature updates. Join our Steam Beta branch to be the first to try these updates as they begin rolling out.
We've been reading all your feedback and are excited to start launching these new features. We'll be adding new ways to travel and you’ll now be able to access city maps while exploring the major cities. For those of you who love ship building, we'll also be expanding on ship customization with ship decorations, new ship building options, and more.

We're also excited to be adding all new Gameplay options. With these new settings you'll be able to alter your gameplay to allow for an easier or more challenging experience that will expand beyond our normal "Difficulty" setting. These will allow you to easily customize carry capacity, cargo access distance, ship damage, vendor credits, how you suffer afflictions, new survival mechanics, and more.

Next, official mod support will be coming to Starfield with the launch of Creations. Beginning early next year, Starfield will be getting its own exporter and you’ll have access to a new Creation Kit. Modding has always been an enormous part of our games, with incredible community-made content constantly bringing fresh new experiences. With the scale and systems in Starfield, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

And lastly, the team is hard at work on the development of Shattered Space, our first major expansion coming next year. You’ll have new story content, new locations, new gear, and much more. We can’t wait to share more with you next year.

if I'm understanding this correctly, 1.6M players finished the game across 5.1M playthroughs with an average of 3.17 playthroughs out of those who finished it at least once.

Is playthrough the right word? Maybe "run" is better? Because you can skip all story on NG+ ...

And if the total is 13M players then that would be a 12.6% completion rate of the game.

Starfield haters on suicide watch.

 

[sosmoflux]

An absolute pittance of update content followed by "please save our game" mods. Disgraceful.

Those metrics are meaningless. Ashta are the "most dangerous life form" because they ambush you in the main quest. The same goes for Ecliptic. Battlemeal Battlepacks are the most eaten food because they're everywhere, and most other food isn't worth eating. Fucking corpos need skinning alive
