New thread!

This week I am hopelessly addicted to starfield. I have not been this into a game for a long time…

    Playing:
    Remnant 2, really fun!
    Doorkickers 2, a new update came out with new missions I have to conquer!
    Hell Let Loose got better again with the latest update, so I play that if I have the energy to shout orders into my mic (because no-one wants to be squad leader).
    Sons of the Forest is coming along nicely.

    Stopped playing:
    Gave up on Starfield. What a mediocre janky game with generic story. Frustrating and time consuming menus. It’s not massive at all. It’s just big empty rooms behind loading screens. There has been like 5% technical development since Fallout 4. They didn’t even bother to fix the mannequin NPC faces for their game “that has been in development for 12 years” or whatever.
    I cannot fathom how some people swallow that stuff and goes “10/10 game of the century” and pay 80€ for it.
    Sorry for rant.

    Looking forward to:
    Cyberpunk 2.0
    The infantry combat overhaul for Squad.

      I absolutely love your description of the game being ‘big empty rooms’. I think I’ve come to the same conclusion in the last 24 hours. The space stuff and the on-planet stuff feels disjointed and unconnected. The way you traverse the universe is incredibly underwhelming (so many menu’s) and the actual game design just feels so 2008.
