There’s the problem. You bought a BSG rpg wanting it to not be a BSG rpg. They will always make this style of game. If you want a different style of game, they will disappoint you.

Ive been playing BSG rpgs since Morrowind, and so I got exactly what I was expecting, with some cool extra bits on top. And as such, I absolutely love it!

I played Outer Worlds and, I think I completed it. The setting got old and the plot… what was the plot again…? I’m like 90% sure I finished it but I couldn’t tell you what happened.

Contrast that to Starfield, I’ve completed two faction quest lines and they were both superb. They took unexpected twists and turns and were full of lore and interesting characters. The Crimsom Fleet quest line was epic, and payed off in just the right way for me (seriously the discovery at the end is 🤌). The Rjujin quest line was also great, and took such an unexpected turn from the initial thing of applying for an office job. Also the toy you get from the questine is really fun to play with, crazy that someone might play the whole game and miss it because they thought applying for a corp job would be boring.

At the moment I’m taking a break from story missions, and I’ve been taking pirate hunting bounties, and just exploring. I’ve found loads of random encounters and followed threads to some epic stuff. And I’ve still only just started the main quest line.

The game is so much deeper than Outer Worlds, while also being far broader. Also, Bethesda make open world games, if they had released something as stripped back and linear as OW, they pull have been torn apart for it, even more than they are now.

Oh man of I could customise a buggy as well, and have that buggy drove out of my customised ship, I’d be so bloody happy about that

I switched from playing on my 1440p monitor to my 4k TV the other day and all my old screenshots have a black box round them whe they come up in the menus now. I’m wondering if, when I switch back, my 4k shots will all be zoomed in…

From the article it looks like that was an issue with ZeniMax Online Studios

Fallout76 was a bad game. Not really evil though. And I heard it got much better, admittedly long after launch. I really enjoyed Fallout 4 but I get that I was in the minority there. Either way, I don’t think a company should be totally panned just because they made the main character voiced instead of silent. Re-releasing Skyrim got old, but you don’t have to buy it, lol. I don’t know what you mean about their launcher. Was it bad? You could always start the games from the exe as well. You’ll be happy to know there’s no launcher for Starfield anyway.

I think they’ve made something amazing with Starfield, although it starts quite slowly.

Pirate the game if you want, no judgement from me, but don’t justify it by pretending its some moral good.

Oh why not, it’s a really good game. Did Beth do something evil or something?

Yeah the lack of city maps is frustrating. So hard to find your way to certain places without a mission to go there.

That’s really scummy. A lot ofnpeopke have been paying $45 a month ans been told they woukd get a new phone at the end of it. Now they just change their mind? How is that not breach of contract? Looks like a class action is needed here!

Weird that he died from fentanyl at the exact same time was he was being choked to death

I made my first item of clothing. I had an old pair of PJ trousers that were really comfortable, but they were falling apart. I unpicked them and used them as a pattern using some jazzy material.

It was a learning curve, particularly the pockets and elasticated drawstring waistband. But I figured it out!

Good vid, lots of nostalgia. But i think Duke Nukem 3d should be in there. And Blood!
