The Lock Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Shekky said: I put about 5 hours into starfield it was boring every minute of that game. Some people have said that it gets more fun after 12 hours but I couldn't get through that. Thankfully I never purchased the game I played it on PC Game Pass. I was thinking about loading up No Man's Sky again. The game is really good I played it on launch and it was alright then, it really lacked a lot of content but I'm glad the devs stuck with it and kept releasing more content to get the game where it is today. To be fair, the notion of "it gets more fun later" is a flawed argument at times. A user's experience (and often opinion) is developed within the 1st hours. The people saying it gets better later have already put in the time into the game to create bias since they're going to want to justify their own time playing it. On the other hand. I play FFXIV which absolutely has a slow start and that story gets amazing later on... but you have to literally play it for a while before you get to that point. That's more an issue of FFXIV having a rocky development start mind you. They've tried to fix it a bit which is good, but I think that will always being that game's handicap. That being said, I can say I've enjoyed the game. I think it just depends on what you want out of a game.

I think part of it for me is I came from just playing modded Skyrim, so the similarities were there. I like that overall format. My main criticisms for Starfield would be the dungeons get boring fast and the companions are among the most annoying I've experienced in a game. Like if you choose the wrong option and have a main companion with you, they'll dislike it. It feels really limiting if you want to experience all of the quests.

DrJockitch Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Gave up on Starfield already. Terribly disappointed in Bethesda, snoozer of a game that doesn’t stand up to numerous comparables. Not great as explorer or shooter, terrible as dogfight game. Does too many things and does them poorly and somehow still manages to be boring. Back to BG3.

I think since I didn't really have expectations to begin with, the game's been very enjoyable for me. It definately needs some fixing, but I'm getting Skyrim vibes in space from it which isn't a bad thing. Other games I've been playing: Final Fantasy XIV Elder Scrolls Online No Man's Sky Skyrim (I have like 900+ mods in my current playthrough) Eventually, I want to get into Baldur's Gate 3. I have the game, I just haven't really started it yet. I also want to try Horizon which I've also recently bought. If you played the other BG/Icewind dale you will love BG3 but the rules are very different. Can’t say enough good things about Horizon Zero Dawn. Fantastic game.

PeteyBOI Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Ok i got one to complain about... assassins' creed valhalla PC... the game is riddled with Bugs and crashes all the time, the developer basically says it our issue, but there is many having the same issue even people with 4090's... so Ubi-Soft FU! last time im buying from you... Road 96 is a fun game if you like choose your own adventure games like the telltale games... if you liked those you will probably like this.. every playthrough is different and there is like 30 different story lines... premise is a country run by a dictator named Tyrak, you must choose to fight the tyrant, vote out the tyrant or flee how you react changes how the game ends... im gonna play it right now actually its full of heart felt emotional scenes where you have to make tough moral decisions. I bought the latest Nascar Heat game and the online enviroment was a little disappointing full of people just taking you out, the main game was fun, but got repetitive real quick played maybe 30 hours...

Shekky Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 I'm a huge fan of a lot of the old school Final Fantasy games from Super Nintendo and Playstation. I must have purchased these games like 7 or 8 times since they were originally released. I used to emulate SNES on my old iMac from 98' and played a few japanese versions of snes games that were translated to English like Final Fantasy V which was an amazing game that never made it over to North America on Super Nintendo but was later released on PSX. I still have my original Playstation versions of these games like FFVII and FVIII. Here's a picture of these games I originally had for PSX I'll never sell these lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashimi Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 16 hours ago, -AJ- said: Haven't played since June, but I started back in 2015 and was pretty consistently playing for almost 8 years. Got up to about Champ 2, but I'm not sure I'm still that level. From what I hear, they changed the rank distribution a bit and made it harder to hit the higher ranks recently. I'm thinking about getting a controller with replaceable parts and getting back into the game. You'd be probably still be waaaaayyy better than me if you got to champ at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind playing with players worse than me though. I have a friend I used to regularly play with who I used to play with when he was Silver and I was D3. Now he's like plat 3 or something though, so we're a bit closer in level than we used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost thought I softlocked myself at one point, but I managed to get out. No game-breaking bugs so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningback33 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Playstation Boss Jim Ryan is Stepping Down https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2023/09/27/playstation-boss-jim-ryan-stepping-down/ UPDATE: Further information comes from a Sony press release(via Wario64) that states Ryan will retire in March 2024 with Hiroki Totoki set to serve as Chairman of SIE starting in October 2023. As of April 1, 2024, Totoki will be made interim CEO of SIE alongside his position as President, COO, and CFO at Sony Group. “After 30 years, I have made the decision to retire from SIE in March 2024,” Ryan said in a statement. “I’ve relished the opportunity to have a job I love in a very special company, working with great people and incredible partners. But I’ve found it increasingly difficult to reconcile living in Europe and working in North America. I will leave having been privileged to work on products that have touched millions of lives across the world; PlayStation will always be part of my life, and I feel more optimistic than ever about the future of SIE. I want to thank Yoshida-san for placing so much trust in me and being an incredibly sensitive and supportive leader.” Edited September 27, 2023 by runningback33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelicHearts Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Currently playing Pokémon Shield. I'm several years late to the party and am working backwards a bit because I've already played Violet, but I'm enjoying it so far. Pokémon games are always comforting for me.

Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 World of Warcraft Hardcore because what better way to waste someone's time than playing Hardcore WoW.

Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I am eagerly awaiting the release of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake. It was in developer hell but now has new management and the quarterly report from the company was that it was being worked on. It is IMO one of the best RPG games of all time. This game made me a Star Wars nerd. Story, Music, Characters rival that of the movies and it even has one of the greatest video game plot twists!

EP Phone Home Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Anybody picked up NHL24? I’m liking the new hitting system and full pressure features. I didn’t see a NHL24 thread but hoping to play with some CFF users. Game is smooth. Hope they don’t ruin it with the patches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
