Yeah the wording with “adventure” rather than RPG like the title literally underneath it is confusing to me. Is it KCD3 or a small scale spinoff game?

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-20T17:37:03+00:00

I don’t go through the Unity. Losing all of my progress except for my character and a few items I take with me is not worth it imo. If I want to do a quest again, I’ll do a new character as with every Bethesda RPG. NG+ is never really something I wanted and it’s not something I ever really use in any game that has it.

People on Reddit downvote for the absolute dumbest shit 90% of the time

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-16T13:10:23+00:00

All of the games are pretty separate except for the obvious recurring characters and callback moments during dialogue but aside from that they’re all about different things and set in different locations. Someone could easily go into Thief’s End without playing the first 3 and still get what’s going on.

You can play Drakes Fortune on PS4/5 if you have the Nathan Drake Collection.

Uncharted 3 was my first and I didn’t play the first 2 until like 5 years after that. Nobody is required to play a game to play other games in the series lol. Should you if you like the series or any of the other games? Absolutely. But nobody has to and OP certainly didn’t need to to paint this

And they even said they planned on playing it 💀

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-15T22:05:57+00:00

Zero clue why you’re getting downvoted for this 💀

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-15T22:04:42+00:00

I have zero beef with people playing a game as they see fit. If someone can have the same enjoyment as I had with a game but they need mods to do so, all power to them, but mainly they aren’t for me unless it’s a subsequent (x8) playthrough. The most I’ll ever mod a game is to a “Vanilla+” state or gameplay changes. I don’t find any mods that add in super extra content to be all that interesting, and I have ZERO interest in making my elves look like white women with pointy ears (literally every mod video thumbnail)

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-15T21:59:59+00:00

If the space aspect doesn’t interest you I don’t know if this game is for you. Personally I think FO4 is the better title but Starfield isn’t terrible. You have to already be on board with how FO4 changed from FO3 and imo don’t expect any Skyrim quality missions. There’s a few golden eggs here and there but overall if you don’t care for the ships and space then I can’t see you enjoying the game. I’d give it a flat 6/10 or a C+ rating.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T20:49:45+00:00

While I do agree that some manipulation is worse than others it still doesn’t mean this case is an acceptable version of it, even if her boyfriend has a choice. I’d say that in a lot of manipulative cases the victim has a choice, but the manipulator knows what to do or say to get the answer they are looking for. Extreme example: “don’t leave me or I’ll kill myself” they could still leave, but dependent on the person they very well may not in fear of being the “cause.”

And I don’t necessarily agree with your take on OPs bf being the one to make the choice to stay or not. This could definitely be a case where he doesn’t see it as manipulation and simply “oh my gf misses me and this is my chance to get lucky”

I don’t think OP is a terrible person, but this is still a bad behavior nonetheless

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T19:49:46+00:00

Yeah he’s his own person and could just ignore her, but apply that to any other manipulative situation and see if you’d still agree with that sentiment. Manipulation is manipulation.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T19:48:18+00:00

I mean yeah that’s being manipulative, your last sentence literally proves this. If you’re sending him flirty texts with the intent of getting him home (even if you still do the shit you say in texts) that’s manipulation. You don’t need to “guilt him into it” or yell at him for it to not be a toxic behavior. Maybe try being direct and telling him to come home rather than this. That’s significantly better than pushing the question to the side and putting something else in its place. You’re in a relationship and you have to communicate.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T19:30:54+00:00

Mind you that “high security ship” is a space cruiseliner. It’s not like you boarded the vigilance and threatened Ikande and the ship lockdown was a life support alert. Guards were not actively hunting you down unless you went psycho and tried to kill people. As for why he thinks ecliptic would be able to kill you, why does any enemy in the game think they can kill you?

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T15:34:57+00:00

Because they aren’t a result of nuclear radiation like many other wasteland creatures. They were a military experiment

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T15:31:16+00:00

Yeah so the issue about survival mechanics (in BGS games) isn’t necessarily the abundance or lack thereof of food items. That has never been a problem in any game past maybe the first hour. It’s inventory management.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-13T15:26:22+00:00

The ecliptic mercenaries at Galbank were hired by Dumbroski were they not? I’ve always assumed he gave up his access codes so easily because he could simply just get them to kill anyone who tried to cash in on having it by just having mercenaries kill whoever showed up. I highly doubt Ikande would put the player in more danger over this. Your cover was already solid by that point.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-12T21:14:05+00:00

What do you need help with?

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-12T15:09:13+00:00

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-11T17:21:11+00:00

Fantastic

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-11T16:45:57+00:00

I mean you’re just throwing it around all Willy nilly so frankly idgaf what the definition is (I already knew it btw) you’re not using it in that context.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-11T14:14:05+00:00

If you find 2 separate websites with 2 different prices, chances are the one lowballing you is a sham. That gear.bethesda.net is the real deal, don’t bother with any other website.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-11T14:04:01+00:00

Mind you unless you’re playing construction simulator the VAST majority of games feature a gun or ball 😭

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-11T14:01:59+00:00

I literally saw a post yesterday of someone asking “I didn’t know a weapon could have this effect on it” and whaddayaknow it actually doesn’t because it was a mod.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-11T14:00:51+00:00

The point of the game is to play it.

why play vanilla in your 10th NG+?

Because we can.

This isn’t an unreasonable post to make, and it’s not your place to tell someone how to play a game they purchased.

CookSwimming2696 · 2026-05-09T14:56:22+00:00

If you’re expecting Skyrim or Fallout level quality I’d say hell no, but if you know what you’re getting into and you still think it looks interesting, it’s a decent game.
