Its just some extra buildings for outposts, which I guess is the size of Wasteland Workshop, so technically true.




Games that are just MVPs with a massive, fully featured microtransaction store, often featuring a story by committee, visuals that arent any better than five years ago, shitty ai, filled to the brim with bugs, and all running at less than 60 fps on good hardware.

Fuck new big games.


Didnt they do some scream event because capitalism bad or something? Sounds like the problems are coming from inside the house



Its a full price game, it shouldnt have microtransactions


I’m honestly convinced the game designer has never actually played a video game. Its the only thing that makes sense.


Ah shit, youre right. Must of misread it.

Then Just Starfield I think.


Anthem? Immortals of Avuem? Starfield? Forspoken? Pretty much every bad game discounts early, because word of mouth spreads, independent reviewers review, amd sales plummet. Even Starfield had a 25% discount about a month after release once people realized the magic was missing.



Whens the last time you saw anyone actually read a provided source?


More like it’s not worth tracking down the archives for deleted tweets.



, if your product doesn’t check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, “hire us to help”.

That’s textbook extortion. “Nice product you got there, be a shame if twitter didn’t like it. Maybe pay us some money, make sure nothing untoward happens to your product”

I mean, how is it not.


They literally threaten and extort companies into paying them. That’s just from their own employees tweets.

I’m honestly surprised that the government hasn’t noticed their extortion racket.


I kinda feel sorry for what they couldve been


Fo76 basically was a shitshow to the point it was false advertising. (Fucking canvas bags)





Honestly, a lot of it was just some random twitter user trying to start shit. The drinking milk thing was one of those.


Federation is broken, so my hot take is Duke Nukem Forever is better than Starfield.
DNF sucks ass, dont get me wrong. The pacing and some sections are horrible. But it oozes passion. Hell, even some of the gun play is better than SF. The characters in DNF actually feel like characters, stereotypes to be sure, but like actual characters. From the stern general, to the terrified and grateful civilians, it feels like someone actually had a vision and was allowed to make that vision. Starfield has zero passion. Its sterile, like a top notch cleanup team came through and drowned it in bleach, and then removed every spec of dust left with precision. Everything is bland and sterile and boring. I have 1292 hours in Skyrim, 1005 in Fo4, and 44.9 hours in SF, and I have no desire to play again.

Creation Engine is a great engine for Bethesda style games, no doubt about that. But it is not a particularly innovative engine. The main innovation was just how moddable it was. It’s basically a pretty SQL database, with the formids being primary keys. (Have you ever screwed with xEdit? It’s so easy to mod!)

BUT that being said, widespread use of procgen was in Dagger Fall. Aside from a few key dungeons, everything was procedurally generated, and that was in 1996. Hell, I’d venture that it had better procgen, because they had roads. And before that, Rogue was procedurally generated. Procgen just isn’t an innovation.


No. Maybe it never will. I would wait for a sale if you really want it, it already went 30% off at one point, and the Steam Winter Sale starts tomorrow.


Next, official mod support will be coming to Starfield with the launch of Creations.

Creations is what they call their latest iteration of paid mods in Skyrim.


Fucking paid mods. Was this confirmed earlier? We knew it was coming, but its another to have it actually confirmed.

I’m not even mad, just apathetic. I just dont care anymore. I want to be angry, feel some sort of emotion towards SF and Bethesda, but I don’t.

I guess I’ll go back to other games.


Nah, they are. Problem is banks. Bunch of weird prudes, and they effectively run the world.


Thats been in creation since morrowind, its only an issue due to all the clutter



At least you could blow up megaton. Couldnt have you killing named npcs in starfield, you might miss out on shitty content!


Well maybe? Theres a lot of games with tiny mod scenes, but Bethesda was probably hoping for more than what Monster Hunter World got.


Well fuck this, broke my modlist again. I give up. I’m not buying Tes6, theyve burnt the goodwill with me.



Its a bad game, not because of what it is now, but because it helped popularize a “release broken, fix later” attitude.


Problem is that theyre not empty. Every single one has colonized by identical groups


Its a game that tries to get you to pay more after you already bought it. Widely considered to be a mark of a bad game.

16 times the niche restraints

16 times the preggo mods (Why are there so many? How many do you need?)

16 times the sex animations (FNIS says theres a few thousand animations for the lewd mods alone)

16 times the weird masochistic mods

16 times the really creative unironically good mods

16 times the non-adult mods (why would you upload normal mods to LL? I don’t get it.)


Mad Max vs Days Gone, which do you like more?
Both feature a cinematic style story, a focus on their vehicle and upgrading that vehicle, both are apocalypse games, and both were kinda forgotten
