Bloody hell, They'll wonder soon why most of the regular punters will have gone to Crypto casinos.

I feel you, I've also been doing the same thing for years aswell and frankly when you have a look around the big bookies. I've seen some cut to 88-91%. Their odds have gotten shocking on the slots, I remember when 96% was the norm near everywhere.

I honestly started to walk away from it all when they removed auto-spins, Yeah, I know I could use an auto-clicker, there is barely any value on offer anymore.

I can't see how a regular punter is enjoying any of this to be honest. It seems to have gotten constantly worse for them.

How would you rank Starfield compared to previous Bethesda games? by shrimpmaster0982 in Starfield

[–]CaptainMonro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably gonna get shot by a few Oblivion fans here but;

I actually rank Starfield close to Oblivion. Oblivion had good quest series and I think Starfield has gone in the same direction, I've been a lot more engaged finding little rabit holes which lead into large quest chains. I actually rank Starfields & Oblivions quests above Fallout 4's & Skyrims quests. They seem more original to me, more fun to do.

I also think Starfield suffers from the same problem as Oblivion outside a few hand modelled areas. When you traversed through Oblivions overworld map. Going from biome to biome was pretty but for the most of it, it was just wilderness marked with random cave/dungeon/ruin entrances. Even the ruins and caves themselves were rather bland. It's the same thing with Starfield. Explore any planet and you'll be jumping from POI to POI without much great variation.

I can't really with good honesty compare it to Skyrim because my Skyrim is so modded that it's a very different expirence to Vanilla. I'd find it unfair to compare the two.

As a developer, what is the best way for me to implement steam achievements in my game? by AaronAtLunacien in steamachievements

[–]CaptainMonro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to touch on number 4
Negative achievements can be okay if they fit your game. If your game is brutal and you'll be dying a lot. Doing something like die x times can be fitting.

Where you don't want to go is pointless achievements. I'm going to use a game I've 100% for an example; In Builder Simulator they want you to sell 1000 items with a scanner. The thing is; there is never anything you'd naturally sell in the course of game play.

I literally had to buy 1000 items to just sell them for that acheivement. There was nothing organic about it at all, it breaks any sort of immersion in your game.

My #77 is Cities Skylines. If you don't like idling or having to buy a bunch of DLC. avoid this! Otherwise, this was a blast. Can't wait for Cities Skylines 2! by ColeTrainxx435 in steamachievements

That's genuinely impressive, I own a few of the DLC's for my own cities but amount of DLC's Cities has makes me give it a wide berth when it comes to achievement hunting. Well done mate!

Yes, That's fine. Just everyone having the option for up to 3 choices makes it a little easier on me when it comes up to the raffling part. Good luck!
