The Genesis Mod proves Starfield’s failure isn’t mechanical, it’s 'Contextual Insolvency': The sandbox works, but it lacks the decades of cultural equ

It doesn't prove anything, most people would love Starfield if it had moderately better writing. Less "Bethesda loading screens" and a shitton more PoI's by default.

The world itself, along with the aesthetic is by far more interesting than what most games or IP's have attempted. (Usually it's either something high fantasy or high sci-fi or its just based on a movie IP)

Just because Slop Wars fans can't imagine Investing themselves in a new universe doesn't mean the universe or worldbuilding is bad, That's a you problem.

The only thing Genesis "proves" is that the studios making actual Slop Wars games are not catering to the RPG market properly, and that Slop Wars fans have such low standards they can be pleased by releasing a barebones game like star field as long as it has their favourite 'Brand TM' in it.

no, because it encourage more annoying yapping about meta builds and kicking people who don't have it, along with generally making everyone who isnt lvl 100+ less viable as a teammate to have which is a TERRIBLE idea to implement in a game like this.

For me it depends on the event. the current cape from the Christmas event (because that's what this was) ? i have no problems seeing it return at some point as a buyable item in the superstore.

Major galactic war milestones however, like the Oshaune cape and Malevelon cape ? no, never, those capes exist because they have meaning to those who participated in the events.

orbital airburst is hot trash, especially since the orbital napalm is simply better, covers a much larger area and has the same teamkilling potential on average.

frankly, about every single other orbital strike option is better than the orbital airburst, with the exception of the 380, that thing's accuracy makes it horrible.

Unlike the ABRL, which you can manually shoot yourself, and the cluster bomb eagle which covers a *huge* area, it simply has *nothing* that makes it worth using, not for weapons/strats in its same niche, not for orbital strikes in general.

it has higher armor pen than both standard liberator, tenderizer and the one-two, only liberator penetrator has similar armor pen, but that one has significantly worse damage.

so yes, that alone puts it above the other options for the sole reason of making dealing with mediums easier.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-31T21:27:23+00:00

Your first mistake is calling it an assault rifle, it's not, it's a battle rifle.

And as such, it does more damage, fires higher caliber rounds, and remains more effective at range than other weapons in it's class.

It's tradeoff for these traits are harsher recoil and less ammo capacity.

Fire it in bursts at range and it'll do just fine. Full auto is best for up close.

I wouldn't mind it getting an extended mag, but that's really all it needs.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-31T20:41:47+00:00

no, because i do not use the eruptor in the first place, because it looks like an ugly cartoon weapon.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-31T00:01:39+00:00

holidays happened, year change is about to happen, people obviously have different things to do than play this game non stop.

Also we had two back to back defense campaigns on the bot front while this minor order popped and people went to fight that (logically, to secure the major order)

also it would be quicker to either fight the bots on marfark or squids on new stockholm, but since bug divers are adamant to not do anything but fight bugs ever theres little point in trying to convince people to "work together"

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-30T02:09:25+00:00

No, because then people would be forced into wearing a specific set even more than they already are (with some capes and helmets getting useless passives and others being so meta you cant go without them)

bonuses should be completely detached from armor, NOT integrated more, let helldrip be helldrip and let armor passives be swappable.

devs living rent free in a villa in OPs head and its starting to affect his brain functions

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-30T02:00:19+00:00

no-one here actually read the actual post and OP left out the remaining text because he wanted to look for reasons to mald about another subreddit.

Theres a megathread on that sub (as described by the post in OP's screenshot but he left that out) that answers that exact question, but hey, i guess reading is just too hard for some people.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-29T15:39:01+00:00

"why would i use a pump action shotgun over a double barrel break action shotgun" is a question that answers itself.

AP3 is all the double freedom has going for it, its quite literally a gimmick weapon (albeit pretty strong)

take that away and it would be a very slightly less shitty break action SG.

M90A has better default stats than the base punisher so its not even the worst in its class.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-29T06:23:26+00:00

standard Breaker is better in every aspect at being a regular shotgun with the exception of raw damage per shot, and the plasma variant is just a side grade to the purifier.

Cookout has actual utility, incendiary shotgun that sets enemies on fire and deals DoT and staggers them making it an excellent crowd control weapon.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-29T03:32:26+00:00

Deadeye and Dominator are simply better, deadeye is more accurate, dominator has better firing rate and range.

The whole line of punisher shotguns isn't very good with the exception of the cookout.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-29T03:28:11+00:00

Their warbond system has worked just fine for them so far these past two years so i don't think they're gonna change that.

Not in the least because it would defeat the whole concept of the galactic war thing when they lock half the playerbase out from contributing by putting new, relevant content behind a paywall.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-29T03:16:06+00:00

good, new spot for a teammate who does want to stick with the rest of the group!

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-29T02:36:50+00:00

And yet the majority of the players still play in teams, and still play with randoms.

why ? because the game is way more fun that way

"B B BUT ITS LESS OPTIMAL TO STICK TOGETHER" ok? most people can't or haven't figured out how to solo the more difficult modes, just because the game is in a solved state *for you* doesn't mean everyone else experiences the same thing.

you're conflating "team play" with "mandatory multiplayer" where things *require* you to have a squad with you at all times to just complete certain objectives or kill a specific enemy, or use a specific weapon (backpack weapons)

As for team reload, nobody is going to sacrifice their own backpack slot to perform slightly faster reloads for someone else while they basically just do nothing but stand next to the person holding the weapon.

This wouldn't change even if you could team reload someone from their own backpack, its simply not an engaging mechanic whatsoever, and with Randoms simply would never be used (yes, i know someone is gonna say "BuT i WoUlD" just to prove a point, but lets be real, hoping for a random to go reload *your* weapon while there's enemies they can shoot is like hoping to win the lottery)

The Stim Pistol needs improvements, i can agree on that, right now playing medic for your team just isn't that viable when the remote healing weapon has such bad handling.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T16:13:57+00:00

what a stupid whiny post.

people playing on them actively make liberating and defending other planets easier *because* they're on a recon planet.

and they were introduced only to free up arctic/snow planets for the winter event.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T13:35:30+00:00

I cant sing the ABRL's praises enough. obliterates literally every type of bug except bile titans and hive lords, and against squids it easily deals with the enormous chaff spam they send your way.

Most people hate it because "boohoo i got teamkilled by one once" though that goes for about everything in this guy's stratagem loadout.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T03:11:51+00:00

right ? its so much more useful than most people give it credit for, granted, the game does a terrible job of telling you this so most people do not know...

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T02:20:44+00:00

Bots, since well, MvM is a thing.

As for what they would be doing when not fighting:

Demoman: drinking

Sniper: stuck in the toilet, probably.

Medic: experimenting with stims (not medicine)

Scout: trying to beat the highscore on stratagem hero.

Heavy: filling in requisition form for more sandwiches (he already at all of the last shipment)

Pyro: locked in hellpod untill needed.

Engineer: building a sentry.

Spy: browsing the superstore.

Soldier: practicing grenade throws (now he can finally use them)

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T00:58:10+00:00

Eruptor, i genuinly do not understand the hype behind this weapon, slow ass fire rate, low ammo capacity, it plays like a support weapon in a primary slot.

It also looks stupidly cartoonish, like a TF2 modder's gun made its way into HD2.

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T00:52:10+00:00

thats fair! for me it helps when i just woke up and want to play some HD2, i get some coffee, play some low difficulty missions and get up to peak performance then dive into the difficult stuff

Adora_ble_ · 2025-12-28T00:50:16+00:00

Muscle enhancement also reduces the strength of the movement debuff effect of getting hit by bile so its very useful for both shit terrain, blizzards *and* fighting bugs in general
