raft update on the third
im p sure a lot of the people who like NMS would like raft
scenic, randomly generated, infinite, encourages creativity and outside-of-the-box thinking

Looks like mediaeval destiny

Ha pretty accurate
I'm interested in this because it's from the devs that did the narrative game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Plus the creative leads behind Bulletstorm. That's why the combat looks so good

I got GTA and I'll happily grind some levels to average out others.

B r u h you can get Adam Jenson's outfit and it gives you a special gun 😆
Can I just say that after sticking a dude's face in a fan in Sleeping Dogs he'd look a helluva lot worse, all it did was cover him in blood 🙄
austere lance
FUCK this game has hella feels 😭
crisp sparrow
honestly, seeing NMS's updates and the devs talking about it made me realise how bad starbound really is haha
NMS devs dont just add a feature on random but try to make sure the feature has clear connections with other parts of the game
full pivot
starbound has a lot of issues
crisp sparrow
like how they added food but it was initially mostly useless but they fixed it by making the food profitable, complex foods refill your life support more (though that's still kinda pointless as oxygen is more abundant) and they even addressed the nanite gains
but they didnt add a hunger meter thankfully
that's why I'm hyped about mechs now, if HG does implement them I know they will serve an overall meaning to the game, rather than how starbound handled mechs
(starbound mechs are a fully independent side game which isnt satisfying as there's no meaningful rewards)
visual snow
crisp sparrow
not odd, its just not a good game
they took the look and feel of terraria but without the combat
they took the proc gen of NMS but even less generation making it feel more same-y
and added random features that are its own side thing rather than making it an overall part of the game
I enjoyed it for about a 100 so hours but after that I havent felt like touching it ever again
bronze wind
It was in early access for a long time and I think the consensus is it got worse on release
idle saffron
Ahhh
crisp sparrow
@idle saffron well yeah its not the game where you can tell from just a few mins of playing
I basically ended up enjoying for a while, setting up a base, finishing the story and doing all the stuff the game had to offer (fishing, collecting animals)
but after that I didnt feel like replaying because its not enjoyable again, unlike other sandbox games like terraria, NMS, Minecraft
I couldnt really tell why, until I thought about these games again and figured out what's lacking my motivation
idle saffron
I gotcha, didn't realize it was an early access
crisp sparrow
oh no I got it at 1.4
idle saffron
I had the opposite experience with Astroneer
crisp sparrow
that 100ish hours was only their latest update, I never played the older versions
crisp sparrow
the whole content is about 80ish hours
-doing the story
-the 1.4 new feature, bounty hunting that is its own storyline
-base building, ship building
-reading up the lore books
-catching most of the insects and animals (they're collectibles)
-exploring the different dungeons

idle saffron

It went much worse on release, so there's that too.
They discarded the original hunger system, they discarded the racial traits, and limitations, aka glitch people had their own food, poisonous for others, same with the rest of races, stuff like that, they tossed away the temperature mechanic, you had to heat bases up on ice planets using heaters etc, much of the original lore got tossed away, some minor mechanics got talked about but never released, like resurrecting fossils.
It's just, Starbound was supposed to be much more than it actually is, you know? Wasted potential if you will.
All unique racial intros got tossed, each unique start got scrapped for the sake of this terrane protectorate bullshit, some old bosses got scrapped, F. Ehh, I liked the beta much more. Remember when combat was deep, instead of literally every monster headbutting you, doing contact damage, and that's it? Remember many techs that got scrapped, like anti grav bubble, the butterfly jump, etc? Old mechs got scrapped, for the sake of the new ones. Eh, not like old ones were more useful than these.
crisp sparrow
yeah sorry I havent played previous versions, I started on 1.4 directly with the bounty hunting
winter yew
It's better to not know, ye. 😄
crisp sparrow
I guess, but like I said even this felt very boring in the end and not feeling like replaying again
winter yew
Not like there's any reason to replay it.
Some sprites got screwed over with 1.0 even, made it all kid friendly and unified.
What I like to think about Starbound, is that it got Spore'd.
Everything's cosmetic, cute, and fun now.
There aren't even any racial weapons now like what the fuck. 😄
They had to cut that out too.
But yeah, all races, are purely cosmetic now, so once you picked yours, and played through the game, there's nothing else.
Universe is static, always the same, story's the same for all, tech trees and progression is the same. Just, fuck, you know?
You can wait another year or two, play through the hour of content they added, and off the drive it goes again for another year.
raven frost
I remember starbound's community made me lose my faith in humanity a bit
If anyone remembers the ||birds with penises|| mod, I feel your pain

It's not like there's entire ||sex|| network at works called ||Sexbound||, with ||pregnancy|| and building your colony that way.
raven frost
winter yew
The power of mods.
Doesn't help that all other races run around naked.
One thing they forgot to remove when "childifying" their game. 😄
ehh, it's the world I miss the most you know. Miniknog being this ultra nationalist organization, not some crazed up computer, avians sacrificing and killing people because of a "feather turning black", Angarans, anyone remember angarans?
raven frost
The name rings a bell but I couldn't give two shits about starbounds lore
winter yew
Not in its current boring state.
Now just shroom people, before? The Last of Us.
You could often see agarans in semi normal structures, only, overgrown, and in the basement? Cocoons with trapped people inside, that's how Agaran was made.
winter yew
oh even wiki kept a note about that.
Which is surprising, they've been pretty through about removing past content. 😄
This plot thread would end up abandoned by the "Giraffe" builds, and the Agaran became the simple harmless weirdos they are now.```as for non playable, ehh it makes sense I guess. There always were 7 races, well 6 + 1, but basically 7, and it was always about those only.

I just lost a fucking bounty because of this fucking trash piece of shit.
That's it I don't give a fuck, this fucker dies whether he likes it or not, whether this fucking game likes it or not.
Nothing ever felt as good.

Well that's sad
tame coral
the ground looks like vomit
willow crypt
I wouldn't roll around in that mud
raven frost
now look, I've been doing some thinking, and I've come to the conclusion that Ghaul was a complete dumbass
raven frost
I mean his INITIAL idea was great, rush the last city and take the traveler, and it worked
brisk merlin
but the machine was sentient
raven frost
But nOoOo, don't kill the fucking guardian that just took out some 50 soldiers and boarded your ship to beat your ass, which would've worked had you not ripped their light out
Just kick them off the ledge WHILE STILL ALIVE, yeah, that'll kill em!
tame coral
why didn't we die from the fall
raven frost
well he was an IDIOT for thinking that
you NEVER leave ends untied, Ghaul
fucking CRETIN
raven frost
Now why we didn't die from the fall is another story but now I get to my SECOND point
brisk merlin
we landed in mud
raven frost
If the Red Legion were already in the fucking EDZ when our punk ass shows up, why the FUCK didn't they think "Oh yeah that traveller shard might be of some interest, let's secure it!"
It's not like they didn't see it, it looms over us all the time
tame coral
why didn't anyone report to ghaul that our guardian got our light back
brisk merlin
they did

dont you remember in that cutscene with the consul

And Ghaul went "Oh well, it's fine"

I don't remember

Ghaul a whole dumbass

Also didn't Calus talk to Ghaul and tell him that he won't be able to beat us or smth?

io was the last place that the traveler touched before the collapse

raven frost
I'm trying to think of something related to the thing that blows up the sun but honestly it's actually kind of a smart idea
willow crypt
I wonder, since we probably won't get D3, how they'll introduce a new, large campaign and when

its impossible to blow up the sun, so they where bluffin

Oh and the whole Ghaul loses his mind part near the end
"I have become legend" yeah you're a fucking legend now, a fucking legendary FALIURE

I hope they update it too because visually & musically it sounded great
willow crypt
Yes
cinder vessel
Just everything about trying to play sounded miserable in an unintended way
willow crypt
I wonder if the devs will stick with it or move on
Definitely deserves the attention
cinder vessel
VR devs I've seen so far have seemed pretty good about sticking with them, like The Persistence devs stuck with their game and even went so far as to update it for play outside of VR
But they also did a much better job at nailing basic gameplay in terms of movement and comfort options
willow crypt
Ah cool
So yeah, I just saw that a lot of the features like left hand mode(yay) were added in a new patch
So that's a good sign

Had funny rdr online experience today.
Finally had some people shoot and attack me.
I remember one person in particular. Had defensive stance on, means I took less damage etc, and it felt like that.
She was pumping me full of lead, and I almost didn't feel that at all.
She managed to piss me off tho, so I put out my lasso, ran at her and managed to tie her up.
Don't know how that works, thought maybe I could turn her to sheriffs office or something right?
nope, she untied herself before I managed to load her on my horse even.
So I pulled my lasso again, jumped at her, tied her again, pulled up my gun and double tapped her head.
cinder vessel
The Switch is such a weird thing. I keep having to remind myself that I may already have the games I'm looking at on there on another platform, and just being able to have them on the go isn't that much of a benefit when I don't travel that much
However, as I've been double checking things, I've found that there are weird slight perks to Switch versions thanks to them coming to it later that the original versions may not have
Like supposedly Ori and the Blind Forest runs at 60 fps on Switch, whereas other standard model consoles, not so much?
winter yew
what a deal!
cinder vessel
lmao
Tbh tho I would recommend trying Crying Suns if it sounds interesting to you
It's a really solid, nice looking game from what I tried of it, been meaning to pick it up at some point

oh no
this immediately brings to mind the weird attempt to modernize Asteroids
Sorry yeah that's not Yars' Revenge even in modernized form
Looks like it might be fun tho
cinder vessel
You ever play the original Yars' Revenge?

such a silly janky but fun game
I loved the weird barrier field thing you would dip in and out of as you tried to take out the enemy

Beatbuddy is another good one that I already own

Anthem's suits feel like you're playing as Iron Man

also Valkyr from Warframe is in Anthem

Remember when the game released and Colossus had the weakest armor
And worst health

pretty much the only reason I have Origin on my pc nowadays is for Burnout Paradise Remastered

Damn, RDR 2 PC version for $42
crisp sparrow
Origin felt worse than epic store
winter yew
I have the PS4 version and I just feel so OVERWHELMED when I play it.
like you have all these survival bullshit things you have to worry about
but in the case of a game like Death Stranding all I have to really worry about is my boots getting too worn down, or running out of blood.
in RDR2 I have to keep myself fed, and my horse
I'm just glad they didn't implement the whole 'fat/skinny' aspect of eating from San Andreas
as funny as it was, it was really annoying to deal with.
cinder vessel
No joke, the durability stuff in Death Stranding catches some flak, but I swear it's the best balanced durability system I think I've come across in a game
austere lance
There's something much more annoying most of the way through the story
cinder vessel
Like nothing in Death Stranding feels like it wears down too quickly as long as you avoid timefall, and even then it holds up far better than I thought it might
Whoever calibrated that system deserves an award, no joke. They worked some fucking magic getting that just right
austere lance
@winter yew I feel like you wouldn't enjoy Survival mode on Subnautica, lol

Do not get that until you know
https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/burnout/burnout-paradise-remastered it's literally $9.99 on Origin.
raven frost
guess I'm picking it up regardless
winter yew
and I honestly can not believe they are still selling that version of the game on Steam
the servers aren't online for that version anymore so you'll run into a lot of moments where the game crashes
it also doesn't have any of the DLC stuff, no Big Surf Island, the toy cars, etc.
the servers are currently up for the Remaster on Origin though
the remaster also has all the DLC.
I really do wonder if they will be bringing it over to Steam ever

Nah, I've seen everything by this point. I explored more than 90% of each planet in my second playthrough
I'll probably replay it one more time whenever I get a One X so I can experience it with badass graphics and whatnot
echo hill
lmao i love the bit on ||kashyyyk|| when the stormtroopers are like ||"At least we have the high ground this time"||
austere lance
Proceeds to die
I kinda felt bad for that, lol
Stormtroopers have the best banter if you hide and listen to em before attacking 😆
austere lance
Fuck, I was gonna say clones have better banter but then that reminded me of the ||Order 66 mission||
echo hill
😭
austere lance
😢
God that sucked, especially if you ||talked to all the clones in the hallways|| first
echo hill
yeah no kidding
austere lance
They were so nice 😥
My boi Dee Bradley Baker was excellent at voicing them, as always. He's been voicing them in everything since the Clone Wars show
Ngl I want him to voice em in the Obi Wan show if there's clones in it
austere lance
Yeah, he's still Disney's go-to choice for voicing clones. That was him in Battlefront II also
echo hill
Okay ngl ||Cal with a red lightsaber and Imperial armor is fucking badass as hell. pls more of that in the next game.||
@austere lance
austere lance
Lol. Pretty sure that's not gonna happen for obvious reasons. There's probably mods for it tho 👀
echo hill
Im such a sucker for Light side gone dark
austere lance
There's some entertaining Cal mods, lol
austere lance
Yep, there's a mod for red saber and dark side armor
echo hill
😮
echo hill
HAHA
austere lance
They had to do it, seeing how Cal's actor is Jerome (basically Joker) in that Gotham show 😆
Also 👀

So I played Outer Worlds from 9am to 6pm today and I have to say it's a really good game
Much much better than FONV imo
Also everyone is fucking dumb
austere lance
Agreed, I liked it way more than NV
austere lance
Kek
tame coral
I thought she would ask for credentials and i was ready to high tail out of there
Also ah parvati is so innocent
austere lance
To be fair, those people grew up in a city ruled by a corporation and they don't really do the whole "Thinking for myself" thing very well
Parvati is adorable
Innocent cinnamon roll
tame coral
She's too pure
echo hill
tbh i just beat the game without dying once
lmao
so grand master playthrough was 22 hours, and story mode playthrough was 8 lol
winter yew
idle saffron
Nice
winter yew
Not touching Breakpoint
austere lance
I thought it was Days Gone too tbh
winter yew
Wildands is definitely a lot more fun with friends
and the lighting is pretty cool too
cinder vessel
you can play Wildlands solo and offline though right? so like already way better than Breakpoint, lol
Speaking of, did you see their recent community survey for Breakpoint where people were basically wanting what they liked from Wildlands back?
cinder vessel
AI squadmates, offline play, etc.
winter yew
but it kind of ruins the challenge when your AI teammates can instantly revive you and have perfect aim every time
cinder vessel
That said dunno of even Wildlands had offline play...
winter yew
yes it does
cinder vessel
nice
winter yew
that's where the AI squadmates come in
cinder vessel
But yeah, I follow ya on the AI, better then to fudge it than to remove altogether though
Make them able to miss, and take a moment and be able to be interrupted during revives
winter yew
yeah they also teleport to you if you go into a vehicle or whatever
cinder vessel
Usual AI tightrope stuff
winter yew
been playing with a couple friends and it's been a blast, the element of human error always adds fun to the experience of trying to do certain missions
like the stealth ones or whatever
cinder vessel
Yeah, it looked like it'd be more fun that way, and seemed like a pretty decent playground
winter yew
like i used my noisemaker drone to distract a baddie while a friend snuck into a room to steal some information
austere lance
Ngl I only played the beta for Wildlands, it was a complete mess 😆
It just made me want to play Ghost Recon Future Soldier instead, lol
I'll probably get it someday when it drops below $10
cinder vessel
I think I very briefly played the beta as well and while I didn't think it was a mess, I could tell it was probably much better with friends and the rest of the military setup just wasn't really for me
So, uh, I picked up Metal Max Xeno after having it kinda interesting me for awhile half-off in a store nearby
And rereading the description for it on the PlayStation Store I'm reminded why it was interesting me...It sounds a lot like Blaster Master, lol
Metal Max Xeno is a post-apocalyptic RPG. Collect and customize tanks to battle mutated creatures and robotic enemies.
Also how can you say no to a game with this lil' guy:

echo hill
tbh why isnt it tuesday yet
reef storm
because time..
austere lance
@echo hill Reach, lol?
echo hill
yes pls
cinder vessel
yup
winter yew
have you heard of Gato Roboto?
cinder vessel
Don't think so
winter yew
damnit youtube x)
its a short but cute Metroidvania but kinda reminds me of Blaster Master a bit
novel nacelle
What should i buy in this sale? NMS or Sabnautica with ZERO
crisp sparrow
Subnautica with zero
cinder vessel
Finally taking the time to play some more Death Stranding
Trying some real dumbass tactics
crisp sparrow
only buy NMS at full price 😤 😤 😤
winter yew
@cinder vessel I'm gonna play more Death Stranding tomorrow. Been rebuilding roads too much and ignoring the story lol.
novel nacelle
@crisp sparrow why at full price? haha i would have overpayed if they have not messed up with launch
novel nacelle
so i should buy sub . dump NMS
cinder vessel
clearly not sohail, lmao
novel nacelle
@crisp sparrow I continue that joke. XD
novel nacelle
Other games channel just to get reviews from you all
crisp sparrow
ahh
crisp sparrow
then ofc buy NMS
tame coral
We're biased herr
crisp sparrow
I've played both
crisp sparrow
Sub Zero is a pretty fun and sorta long experience but it doesnt have that much replay value in it for me as NMS has
novel nacelle
@tame coral @crisp sparrow This game have good multiplayer experience . I dont love solo playing.
novel nacelle
I came here from ASTRONEER which i loved just for two reason. 1) Space Exploration genre. 2) Aww!!! Cuteness.
reef storm
Astroneer is great
crisp sparrow
lol I didnt like astroneer at all
novel nacelle
@crisp sparrow Its fine. Some dont like it. For me Minecraft is Overrated.
crisp sparrow
meanwhile I still love mc
grave elbow
Tbh cod black ops zombies is underrated as hell. Such a good replayable gameplay loop, cool as hell lore, just pure fun
crisp sparrow
the kennedy killing zombies one?
grave elbow
Lol in one map on bo1
novel nacelle
I got so many backstab whenever i back up some games on kickstart or pre purchased so for now i only buy them after reviews and in Sale.
grave elbow
I hate call of duty for everything else, but zombies keeps me going back
crisp sparrow
the only kickstarter I'd like to pay for if I could, will be Everspace 2
novel nacelle
@grave elbow why Cod MW have best storyline .
grave elbow
@novel nacelle I guess sure but the actual gameplay of the cod campaigns is boring and repetitive.
grave elbow
It is always go to place, shooty shooty, go to place vehicle shooty shooty, then go to place and more shooty shooty, repeat 8-12 times and put cutscenes and a halfassed stealth mission and you got a cod campaign
novel nacelle
Ok Guys. I will meet you in game soon. 🙂 NMS is final. Btw what about new HALO game?
grave elbow
After 343 took the helm it just went downhill
Doom eternal looks like more Doom 2016
So good
crisp sparrow
then why are people so hyped about the new halo
grave elbow
Because Xbox players desperately need games to validate their purchase of an xbox
grave elbow
There are precisely 0 reasons to own an Xbox if you have a pc
crisp sparrow
vs keeping a midrange pc and buying games on big discounts
novel nacelle
Microsoft Have to push up Xbox.
grave elbow
I have PS4 and a decent PC, it works for me
crisp sparrow
I dont think they should push xbox all that much but instead have a more solid store for their games
novel nacelle
They can increase share if they fix shitty microsoft store . Worst Than Internet Explorer.
crisp sparrow
I really like game pass
grave elbow
Game pass is on pc now isn't it
grave elbow
What is xcloud? A stadia thing?
grave elbow
🤮
crisp sparrow
game pass on the cloud
grave elbow
Game streaming services will always be trash
crisp sparrow
its not even out yet
grave elbow
Input lag will never be fixed though
crisp sparrow
it can get better
grave elbow
Like if the world's biggest tech company can't even put together a half decent service..
Plus if your internet goes out it's done
crisp sparrow
because they approached it too early and a bad system
but its pushing cloud server tech to progress faster each year
so it wont be long before cloud gaming becomes pretty viable
grave elbow
Or if Microsoft or Google loses licensing rights you can't play
You don't get to own the games
crisp sparrow
so?
grave elbow
Imagine your internet goes out, then what?
crisp sparrow
then do something else
novel nacelle
Cloud Gaming is a MEME.
crisp sparrow
its like saying if your PC dies, then what?
grave elbow
No it's not
grave elbow
Or if Google or whatever loses the rights to a game
Then what?
A game you paid for is lost forever
crisp sparrow
that's why I said stadia's model sucks
microsoft's better
you're paying iirc 5 dollars a month to play a large library of games
for no extra cost
grave elbow
That's what game pass is
crisp sparrow
and xcloud too
grave elbow
It will never be on par with the likes of an actual pc or console
Competitive gaming is impossible with cloud gaming
crisp sparrow
it can be close enough to not be able to tell the difference apart
lol competitive gaming is unrelated
crisp sparrow
no one will actually play competitive games on the cloud aside for some casual people
crisp sparrow
they will play their game on super beefed up systems at 1080p 300mhz
yeah it is
like destiny 2, most people will play it casually and the same people wouldnt care for literal instant inputs
a delay that they cant notice is good enough
grave elbow
That's just not true though
crisp sparrow
I dont care for input lag as long as its very playable
grave elbow
Currently it's still very noticeable and that's with top of the line fiber internet
crisp sparrow
yeah xcloud is still private beta for a reason
we're too early for cloud gaming but the 3 tech giants are on to something
crisp sparrow
it doesnt work like that lmao
grave elbow
Personally I'd rather just own my games
crisp sparrow
that's fine but calling out others isnt doing u any favours
novel nacelle
@crisp sparrow talking about destiny 2 . i dont understand DLC for destiny 2.
grave elbow
It's the same as the last game
crisp sparrow
personally I dont care about owning games if I can play it for much cheap
@novel nacelle me neither lmao
I used to hate D2 for being scummy with paid DLCs
grave elbow
Well now its free
crisp sparrow
now that they made their base game free and added a bunch of the old DLCs for free, I'm good
novel nacelle
@crisp sparrow I hated just becoz people said. But i see it have high percent of constant Player base.
grave elbow
I've been a destiny fan since the beginning
crisp sparrow
I still didnt like the game much, same with warframe
grave elbow
It's not a bad game by any means
It's probably one of the best free to plays out there at this point
crisp sparrow
it felt too repetitive and I didnt have the feeling of progression because the same old enemies got stronger with me
grave elbow
I stopped d2 because the endgame essentially vanished
D1 had a strong endgame, with a fun grind
crisp sparrow
I see
grave elbow
Raids were awesome, and the trials pvp was ok too
crisp sparrow
I liked warframe for being free but it was too money grubbing
gave up quick before I'd fall in that trap
grave elbow
I like warframe, but it does have a crazy grind, I wouldn't say it's money grubbing as much as it is just bad at explaining how to obtain things
Everything in the game can be free
For me it has been
crisp sparrow
yeah but its time gated so hard I lost interest
grave elbow
I have around 600 hours thus far and I haven't ever felt compelled to spend real money
crisp sparrow
3 days to make the rhino wf
grave elbow
It's not time gated too horribly, honestly
crisp sparrow
I forgot about the game by then
grave elbow
All frames take 3 days
Weapons take 12-24 hours
It's not time gating because most of the frames aren't required to keep playing
Some items definitely do time gate you though
Like certain crafting items take 12 hours to make
crisp sparrow
no but I wanted them and it felt like ages getting that weapon I took so long to grind the parts for
I got disinterested
grave elbow
That's fair
crisp sparrow
hell I get annoyed by NMS refiners taking time lmao
grave elbow
How do you feel about games like Euro Truck Sim
grave elbow
I was the same till I picked it up on a steam sale
It's so fun
Its just driving
It's chill
crisp sparrow
only reason I like NMS not being a sim at all and arcade-y
grave elbow
I think sim can have negative connotations
It can be as simple or complex as you want really
crisp sparrow
I mean real time based stuff
crisp sparrow
yes
I dont like the slow wait/drive
even though I like survival sandbox like games
grave elbow
I mean, if I'm ever going through an audiobook or podcast, euro truck sim is my go to, that's what it is for me mostly
Same with elite dangerous
crisp sparrow
nah I like more active games, even with minecraft
grave elbow
Fair
Idk I like games that make my time feel valuable
Idc if it's fast or short
If it makes me feel like what I'm doing is worth it than I like it
crisp sparrow
opposite for me, I want to do as much as I can in a day
grave elbow
Like terraria, I like working up for more and better stuff
I like discovering things
crisp sparrow
yeah I really like terraria though I havent played it that much yet
just till wall of flesh
grave elbow
Like I've always wanted a game that captures the feeling of exploring a crazy labyrinth for the first time. Skyrim did that very well on my first 2-3 playthroughs
crisp sparrow
and I think stardew valley is the "slowest" game I've enjoyed because it has a lot to do in a short time frame
so even if it takes time to grow crops I feel invested enough to do other activities like fishing and mining
grave elbow
I just want a game that captures the same feeling of exploration as Skyrim did
Not a single game I've ever played since has come close
crisp sparrow
same, but I found skyrim kinda boring lol
grave elbow
The feeling of finding a dragon priest mask or learning about a new daedric artifact
Or the blood on the ice quest (when it wasn't broken)
But a game with good exploration has to have a world where those discoveries matter. A home to return to. Like in nms, for me none of the exploration feels rewarding because even when it is unique, it doesn't feel special when theres nothing to contrast it with
With Skyrim the contrast is deep in an old dungeon vs. the streets of a big city
It feel like you are going somewhere
Then returning like an adventurer would
Like secret stuff really gets me going for games
Cool Easter eggs are great
grave elbow
Exactly
crisp sparrow
the reward is just the experience, I guess
grave elbow
Ig
crisp sparrow
it would have been very boring if I did it purely solo
I like sharing stuff here and seeing what others have found
grave elbow
More than likely tech constraints honestly
I'd love to see a good mix of Skyrim and the Witcher 3
I never got into the Witcher 3, but the story was good
cinder vessel
it's 100% tech constraints
grave elbow
Yeah
cinder vessel
but even then, even games set in cities feel pretty meh to me
cinder vessel
I think games focusing on a cast of characters across a space feel more lively than those
grave elbow
Yes for sure
Or a good mix like spiderman
Spiderman did New York fairly well
Still felt dead after a while
I just need more games that make me feel like a proper adventurer
cinder vessel
well it's the classic open world game problem of how do you keep this space interesting indefinitely and there just not being a great solution for it
grave elbow
Yeah
Breath of the wild made me so disappointed
The world is just empty space mostly
Nothing ever unique or interesting imo
Then all of your weapons break, making the unique ones just as useless as a random sword that drops from an enemy
The master sword is the only usable weapon
The main Questline was good but that's it
The rest felt so weird
lavish obsidian
Errr
