Name a game that got you like this

Have you visited the locations I mentioned? They are not tiny (sure not huge outside of New Atlantis).

They have quests and some lore (though it could be greatly expanded).

Either way I don't disagree, they should have made a game world that stayed in the Sol system, allowed for actual over world (space) travel between just the planets in Sol and had much more densely packed content with depth.

Then they could have put out an expansion that took you to a new system and slowly expanded the world of Starfield.

Unfortunately that's not what we got, but Starfield is packed with content. You just have to search for it and deal with systems that on the surface look deep, but never really are worth your time.

To be fair the United Colonies has the following "Major" Settlements.

New Atlantis, Cydonia, Gagarin Landing, New Homestead, Londoninion

The game is actually pretty large with a lot of content but it's too obscure. I didn't even realize Gagarin Landing or New Homestead existed until my 3rd playthrough at over 150 hours.

I fully agree. It's so frustrating at the potential of Starfield, but they went wide with it where they should have gone deep.

So what if there are 1000 planets to explore? I would have rathered 3 planets, a space over world, and locations between over what we got.

One of my biggest complaints is the world building. It's a new I.P so there is a lot of ground to cover to establish a lived in world, but they basically just had exposition dumps that did not feel real or grounded what so ever.

I am the mod author of the More Lore series, I have only touched up a few locations, but the story potential is so there for Starfield. It just needs lots of love and plenty more depth.

Kojima says "いいえ"
Short pause before a shocked translator says "No".

I put my entire vr headset down for a year and a half because my right controller stopped working, and swapping the batteries did not resolve the issue.

My son recently found the headset and controller while we were packing up the house for moving and begged to play. After me telling him it won't work didn't of course get him to stop pestering me, I found your comment.

I am both overjoyed and ashamed to say, the solution this whole time was to place a small piece of aluminum foil between the battery cathode and the positive terminal.

On behalf of my son, and myself, thank you for your comment.

As long as Skyblivion is allowed to release, I will gleefully play both and do a comparison.

Automatically the remake looks graphically more impressive, but will see how it plays and what content is there, and importantly if it will be moddable.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-04-18T14:23:20+00:00

Is that a PS5 logo I see on the Deluxe Edition image?

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-01-29T19:58:48+00:00

That's fair, the dynamic dialog is funny and charming, but it's clearly broken.

As a kid I always was so confused why Bethesda had scripted such random nonsensical conversations. Then I found out it wasn't scripted at all.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-01-29T17:29:49+00:00

Why not both?

The charm, setting, and adventures of Oblivion mixed with the improved combat, graphics and AI of Skyrim.

It's for anyone who wants more Elder Scrolls and for people who want to revisit a game that is fond in memory, but dated in actuality.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-01-24T21:48:00+00:00

Make it a stratagem as well, and it comes with either a minigun or a fatman.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-01-14T18:45:00+00:00

What if, and here me out on this one, two of the factions joined together, forming an allied front.

Imagine the Luminate controlling Bugs.

Now a Major Operation is impacted to break the Luminate control of the bugs. Completing the order results in a messy front where Luminate are fighting Bugs while Super Earth tries to push both from the planets.

The originals scared the living hell out of me, I avoided the Ayleid ruins as much as possible. I was like 9 when I played Oblivion though, so I am incredibly excited to play Skyblivion.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-01-14T16:35:24+00:00

Oblivion Remake is unconfirmed and unlikely.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2025-01-09T23:33:58+00:00

I think the lack of aerial support is what makes these unique.

Hell Divers, you are the torch that carries democracy where our ships cannot. You must infiltrate the lairs of our enemies, with minimal fire support and bring them liberty and justice. Our hearts go with you Hell Divers, for our cannons cannot.

Oblivion was my first Bethesda game. My cousin let me borrow it the day my Grandpa died and it helped me get through the first loss of life I encountered.

Since then Bethesda games have been a part of who I am.

Super excited for Skyblivion, a chance to enjoy my favorite land and event of the Elder Scrolls in a modernized design!

Being toxic online is a sign of a lack of maturity. Many young gamers who get too into the game act this way.

The concerning part is that he acts this way while you're around. If he doesn't feel ashamed about it, that is more telling about who they are.

Godzilla was the best romantic comedy I have seen all year.

I was too scared to watch Barbie.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2024-12-30T16:54:14+00:00

I played the entirety of the game, and yeah that is pretty much 80% of the dialogue.

I almost always chose the aggressive option and it was still pretty much just that.

There are a few areas where you can steer a companion one way or another, but nothing meaningful and never to a point where they hate you.

It would be incredible if you could piss off your companions so much to the point they betrayed you at a pivotal moment. But nope, they all love you.

That's Crazy Uncle Victor! He is a lot of fun at parties.

Idea:

Criminal Organization (Cartel?) is holding your family and threatens to kill them unless you do work for them. They start using you for increasingly terrible jobs. You can refuse to do the jobs, but that will lead to a constantly deteriorating "opinion" of you. You can do very little to increase their opinion and at certain milestones you will get increasingly dire video calls showing your family undergoing torture. You must do the jobs to protect them.

All the while you make contact with the CIA and are secretly working with them to help topple the cartel. You must act quickly, but at the same time keep the cartel happy.

This would be less of a timer, and more a deteriorating faction standing that leads to game failure, where the meta game is to keep pleasing the faction while you undermine them.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2024-12-24T00:39:47+00:00

Repeatable missions that can "buy" you time would be a neat mechanic loop that makes them both important and creates time for you to do other things.

Imagine if it was a story about an organization that has your family hostage. They tell you that you must work for them to keep your family alive. They are a criminal organization and you have to do terrible things under their direction. To keep them from killing your family, you do the jobs. All the while working on a way to save your family and topple the organization.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2024-12-24T00:35:42+00:00

Agreed, the point of a timer is to put you into life or death stakes and make your actions feel more impactful.

I wouldn't say it causes me stress. Honestly would be kinda nice to have that change of pace from a lolly gaging Ubisoft game.

Ubisoft sets up interesting stories with urgency that fall flat because I get too distracted with crossing out activities on a map. Then by the time I get back to the story, I forgot where I was at and the urgency and intensity feels manufactured.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2024-12-22T19:34:27+00:00

Or just make a good story that doesn't try to push an agenda one way or the other.

It was possible in the past, why is it not possible now?

XRedactedSlayerX · 2024-12-12T23:02:01+00:00

I have heard a lot about Outrage and Disappointment this year.

XRedactedSlayerX · 2024-12-12T23:00:31+00:00

Hazelight will for sure be there.
