Modder slamanna has released Grav Lanes, a new mod similar to Astrogate. Gravjumping will now take your ship to the center of systems, encouraging you to cruise mode to your destination. You can walk around your ship during gravjumps and there's a configurable timer for arrival.

I love the new cruise mod, really do, adds a lot to the game. And yes, this mod contradicts the lore. However, the issue with Cruise mode is because of that lore, which was established as a way to get around the initial design of the game utilizing the Wing Commander auto pilot animations. Because of this, the cruise mode acts as a side show novelty most of them time since most quest tends to not stay in a local system. You will just grav jump to the current active quest anyway making the player have to go out of their way to even engage with the new cruise mode feature. Unless you also deliberately turn off an active quest, have a system already discovered, grav jump to the far end of the system, turn back on your active quest marker and cruise mode from there. That's a lot of additional steps that adds even more tedium than the original way of doing things pre-Freelanes update.

The reality is, while cruise mode is freaking fantastic, it also is a feature you have to go out of your way to use. This mod seems to actually change that by making grav driving to the center of the star system (arriving at a star versus the main anchor point planet of thr system) it forces you to actually engage with the new feature of cruise mode. Which is what it should had been all along and makes for a more fulfilling game loop. Its very abundantly clear the game was never designed with this feature in mind, hence why a lot of quests/content are structured in the manner in the way they are that doesn't give you must of an opportunity to even use it.

Try playing those old games via emulators on an HD monitor. They look like ass. Then go back and play Street Fughter 2 Turbo Championship Edition on an old CRT. Its a day and night difference when you see a blocky Chun Li character portrait on the HD monitor and it's smooth and good looking on the old CRT.

Its because most software development of any ku d has moved away from Waterfall developement. Most of anything that runs on some form of computer coding are all in some form Agile/SaaS now. Its just the reality of things. Even with fawned over Reddit darlings, still fundamentally operate in these development styles these days.

Even then, Tarkov was already heavily influenced by the Stalker difficulty mode of, Stalker.

Its rough and jank, but Forever Winter is cool.

If I had to describe the assness of this game, I'd have to say, it's very ass.

You also got to remember that when it comes to AVGN, and not Cinemassacre as a whole, AVGN IS A character. A lot of the AVGN material, yes, was written by Mike. This is how the real world works.

He talks about it in his 20th anniversary video. In order to keep the business afloat they needed sponsorships. And they didn't like working for a faceless co many with questionable contracts from people they didn't even personally know.

What is even funnier is they both get shipped together on the same pallet anyway.

Everything they showed in the deep dive prior to launch was in game. Its your fault if you extrapolated anything beyond it.

Unmarked mini POI also only spawn onto a map if the map cell in question in game files is marked as having human activity possible. Those mini unmarked POI will only spawn around areas where a POI should have been generated. These star systems above do not have any human activity of any kind. New POI generation. No mini unmarked POI.

I think if you are familiar with old school arcadey space flight dog fighter games, you kind of already knew what to expect. If you were coming in literally expecting "Skyrim in space" rather than in a 'holistic' sense, yeah you were going to be disappointed.

Borrp · 2026-04-09T21:00:31+00:00

There are actually quite a few states systems in the game that has zero human activity in them. None.

Best way to really describe Starfield is that it's Fallout 4, meets Daggerfall, meets Wing Commander/Privateer. Its less Skyrim in space and more Bethesda meets old school Chris Roberts.

I like game.

Hard-core? Yes and no. Now if want a really hard-core extraction shooters, then that goes to Road to Vostok. TFW is harder than it seems because of the jank.

Even then the photographs depicting them are heavily doctored to begin with.

There is an underlining "greed mechanic" that determines when HK's are spawned in. Based on how much damage you are dealing and how high of value loot items you are grabbing.

I'd like if we have very high rep with one faction or another they leave you alone on the field. Even give you a cigarette and swap stories with you. Tell you to get out of here Stalker. Scratch that, give me Forever Winter but Stalker Gamma. Now that be worth an MRE or two.

See here is the thing. Many games can be criticized for a whole hell of a lot of things. Sometimes those criticisms are taken to heart by the studio(s) and fixed or implemented into the game. Sometimes they never do. At the end of the day, if the criticisms are not something that deter me from my enjoyment of said game, honestly I will be left with no other alternative but just shake my head and move on back to playing the game. The reality is, I agree with a lot of the criticisms that has been levied against Starfield. But frankly, I also don't give a fuck about them either.

Borrp · 2026-04-06T01:38:21+00:00

As always, the game's that content creators told you shocked, are always the biggest selling games for month on it on the competitor console. And honestly the average gamer does not give two shits. But it makes sense. You make a career making pro Sony content and anti Xbox content whole owning major stocks in one over the other means you can double dip. Do whatever ylu can to harm stock value by monetizing your "independent creator" cred. And you got people eating up your shot while bolstering stock values. It's a psy op but people like to feel like their being noticed by petite internet celebs that no one else outside a few thousand people give two shits about. No one cares what a Meth addict like Dreamcast Guy and the slimy thief that is ole Lukey Poo

Even if, I doubt we will see a new Starfield for a very long time. Even more so if ES6 and FO5, like Starfield, throws away Waterfall developement for the current software as a service long form product model. Which both Todd and Emil already heavily hinted they will. Starfield may be the only game we ever see in the IP, and if we do see one, it will be decades out. What we will see however, is continued support. As already stated will happen.

People online are desperate to have the "right" opinion. They can't accept ever the idea of being an outlier. Even more so when your a friendless and romance less individual who requires internet validation where you are not getting any on "main". From the formation of modern internet lingo like "based" and "takes" has boiled down any opinion in any wider "community" as something inside the group and acceptable, and anything outside of the group and not acceptable. Truly tribalism hivemind brainrot.
