There’s quite a wide range of reviews. I tend to trust the ones who talk about how much fun the side content and faction quests a lot more than I trust the ones that were underwhelmed by the main questline. I’ve been playing these games since Oblivion and the only main questline I ever finished was Fallout NV.
Not really the same type of game at all. Elite is a fun simulation but there’s essentially no story.
In the same way, I’m sure the space combat will be fun in Starfield, with essentially no depth.
All of the most positive reviews I’ve read have been at 80+ hours. Still finding new things to do, which is a good sign.
Docking point for subjective things is weird to me as well. “I wanted a minimap!”
This reviewer also went right into NG+ after finishing the main story. I guess play how you want, but that feels deeply wrong to me.
Ohhh, so that’s why he was called Buzz Lightyear!
That’s the thing though, it’s not Netflix vs cable anymore. It’s Netflix + Disney + Prime + whatever other streaming services have the shit you actually want to watch. And when you add it up, it’s just like cable packages. The only advantage is it’s all on demand.
I think it’s just a human problem. You or I may like to read long form journalism, but we’re in the extreme minority. It’s not dying because it was so hugely profitable.
Logistically too, if you’re trying to parse through the top 100 tweets in a day, and each one takes multiple paragraphs to get to the point, the amount of various viewpoints the average person is able to interact with shrinks dramatically.
Granted, it seems like everyone is taking the forced brevity as an excuse to just write +1 to pile onto their side, since that’s easier.
I mean, from a game improvement standpoint you’d want them to have analytics. Seeing how other people use your game doesn’t seem the most unreasonable thing ever to me.
Lol this is such a weird sentiment to me. You realize many of us do walk everywhere, right?
Meritocracy is a myth though, perpetuated by those lucky enough to benefit from existing systems.
It’s completely circular. I’m on top and the people who are on top are the best so because I’m on top I’m the best.
It never accounts for all the myriad non-merit related ways folks get on top in the first place.
This feels like a copypasta
It’s funny that you say that. Although it’s not I guess replacing Reddit in terms of scale, the browsing experience on Lemmy and that community feeling is actually an improvement for me.
So, I guess for me Lemmy is a more than adequate replacement. I don’t want all of Reddit here though, I think that would cause a whole lot more problems than it would solve.
If you like roleplaying games, absolutely yes. It’s way move involved than their previous games (which were also great). Divinity always felt AA at best, but the polish on BG3 is impeccable.
For me what really does it is the professional voice work and motion capture on seemingly every single sentiet humanoid character in the game. Even random folks who have a single line of dialogue have a unique voice and an interesting character design. They don’t all blend together, even when they are objectively filler characters.
Yeah, this is true! The constant exploding puddles and stuff is interesting to look at, but does feel a bit chaotic and out of your control at times.
Honestly, it’s just making me more excited about Baldur’s Gate, since although I haven’t played the early access I know it’s a different combat system. That and the armour system of Divinity 2 really throws me off, gameplay wise, so it’ll be great to hopefully have all the RP stuff but with a less irritating combat system.
How does the exploration feel? I loved the original Subnautica but reviews of Below Zero turned me off.
I’ve been playing Divinity Original Sin 2, in anticipation of Baldur’s Gate 3. I got to the start of Act 2 about four years ago, and just never came back to the game. I always meant to pick it back up, so I started a fresh character and am nearly back to that point now.
I’m a totally separate person, and I can also verify that forcing business users to use IE for certain services is definitely a thing.
I’m not sure what your point is? It’s not necessarily going to apply to ALL banks, but it’ll probably apply to SOME of them, and that will suck if it happens to be your/my bank.
Yeah, this has been my experience as well. Discovery on Spotify is really good. I’ll listen to something new and be like “how haven’t I heard of these guys!” And then I check their artist page and yeah it’s like a few thousand listens total.
That’s fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.
I’m just hoping there’s an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that’s not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I’m hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.
