Craig H Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I never played Cities Skylines, but I used to watch a bunch of YouTube videos for it while working or while gaming. I'd put a video on my second monitor while doing work or gaming on my other one. The shit, and I guess literal shit, people would do in Cities was pretty hilarious. And a lot of rube goldberg type stuff people would design rivaled what I would see people do in Minecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Guys - I bring you the most shocking news ever. I can't believe I am about to type this Starfield is delayed till Sept (Sept 6 to be exact) (There will be a Direct specifically about Starfield on June 11) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) In the meanwhile, the only thing holding No Man's Sky back from making Starfield completely irrelevant is a strong single player storyline that goes beyond finding the center of the universe. I fired up No Man's Sky the other day after the Fractals update and the first thing I thought of was that Starfield has it's work cut out for them. EDIT: Oh man, I didn't notice this on my initial watch, but I paid more attention to the game being played in the background on second viewing. The running animation is EXACTLY the same as it is in the Fallout games. I'm not sure that's a good thing for what it may portend.

Casey Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Every time I fire up No Man's Sky I'm completely underwhelmed and overwhelmed at the same time. It would take a whole lot more than a good single player storyline to get people to not care about a game that's basically Fallout in Space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 How about if people are actually wise to the fact that Fallout in it's current form from Fallout 4 and 76 is complete shit, uses a busted engine, will likely be buggy as hell, and includes a lot of the tedium from No Man's Sky? Its one saving grace is that it will be on Game Pass and Bethesda will get to say they've had however many first day downloads, which is a pointless stat. I want this game to be good. I'm not remotely confident it will be good. But hey, at least it's free on Game Pass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'm pretty sure everyone knows all of that about the Fallout games, but nobody really cares. Give your average not-terminally-online gamer a choice between this and No Man's Sky and 9 times out of 10 they'll pick the former. 100%. And, IMO, F4 and F76 are perfectly fine entries into the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I hate Fallout 4, but maybe they'll give Obsidian Fallout 5 or something. But most people seem fine with the direction that 4 took, so they'll do more of that. The last thing people who like open-world Bethesda are worried about is jank.

New Vegas is still my favorite, even if time hasn’t been kind to that game. Outer Worlds is fantastic, and only semi-open world. So, yes, do that Bethesda. Please. I only hated the base building in Fallout 4. I was generally okay with everything else about the game. Didn’t love the story or anything, but it had its moments. 76 is what it is. I don’t think that type of game lends itself well to Fallout, but it’s not terrible or anything. Plus it got me a Power Armor helmet to display, and some little old school army men type figures of Fallout creatures and characters. I got the collector’s edition fuckin’ DIRT cheap on eBay about a year after that game was released, so that’s cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is a feature and not a bug for them, like old men complaining about all their aches and pains. It's not about the jank. It's about the shared experience of complaining about jank that they ultimately are willing to live with that matters to them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Not gonna lie, I'm all in on that Robocop game, especially if there's detective stuff involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'm a little tainted on that Robocop game because he was the single most annoying character to fight against in Mortal Kombat XI but I can't deny there's a lot of very interesting potential in a Robocop game.

Now that I'm thinking about it, with all the detective stories in pretty much every other form of media, there aren't nearly enough detective video games.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The people who made the recent Terminator game are making the Robocop one. So I don’t expect it to be mind blowing or anything, but it’ll be pretty good if that Terminator game is anything to go by. Although their Rambo game is one of the worst IP based games ever made, so. Mixed bag here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only decent one was the Sega Master System game which was just a top down shooter so it wasn't too hard to mess that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
