Since it's the most recent Bethesda game I played it's easy to compare ---- it's Fallout 4 in space.


There's some differences here and there, but it's a pretty close comparison.

Honestly, that's exactly what I was expecting. Now just hoping it runs on my PC. Guess we'll find out in a couple days!
 
i haven't been playing starfield because though i have gamepass its like 200 gigabytes in size and i dont think i would really be into it that much... but i love how chuds online got angry about there being pronouns in it..

you can literally have a character with alien DNA and 15000 different identities of species... and you draw the line at she/her

Played about 35 minutes of Sea of Stars tonight. Very colorful. Loving how quickly the characters move. Looking forward to this adventure.

I started this a few days ago, maybe Weds? but up until this afternoon I had been sick in bed since Thursday, so I haven't played too much...

but I'm about 8.5 hours into the game, and while RPGs of this nature were never my thing, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and highly recommend it, especially if you have Game Pass/PS+ since it's on both services

I'm burning through Earthbound (on Switch) atm while visiting the folks in CO. It has me considering buying a repro of Chrono Trigger which I've never played because I'm so picky with JRPGs.

Been enjoying it as well. Love the nostalgia it gives and the “simplicity” in its mechanics.

how hard is it to wrap one's brain around this game?

up front, I am not a "D&D" guy, I am not an "RPG" guy (for the most part), I'm not a "Strategy/Tactics" guy...but I am a "very interested in the best reviewed game of all time" kind of guy. So when it finally comes to Xbox I might have to check it out, but I'm afraid my brain won't be compatible with this game

There is a lot to absorb, but the game provides all kinds of tooltips to help you piece systems together. And almost all of it fundamentally boils down to simulating everything important by rolling a 20 sided die.

That deceptively simple complexity is part of what makes the game feel so alive despite it being very proudly a game.

@Tillman check this out:

I should also say that the controller interface is considerably less intimidating.

EDGE dropped their BG3 review:

Baldur's Gate 3 - 10
Upon finishing a game such as this, there can be a feeling of listlessness, of not knowing what to do with yourself. That's not the case here. As the credits roll, you'll think less about the experience you had, and more about the one you didn't. How would the adventure go if you made this decision, or played as that class? What would happen if you tried this, or did that? Baldur's Gate 3 leaves you with as many ideas as it does memories. That, surely, is the soul of roleplaying.

Their 22nd 10/10 dating back to 1996!

There's 3 tiers but it went up by as much as $50 a year.

yeah, that's definitely bad, and I'm not defending it. but when comparing the cost of the mid-tier, which I'd assume most people had, to Game Pass well then Game Pass went up by $2 per month vs PS+ going up by $3 per month. I know it adds up, but the fact that Sony got so slammed for this while Microsoft seemingly skated by unnoticed is a bit strange to me.

now I don't have PS so I don't know if it's as valuable as Game Pass where being a dollar more per month is terrible pricing. but it costing $100 per year just to play online and cloud saves is fucking ridiculously bad pricing!

It's nowhere near as good as game pass AND yeah you're stuck having to pay it if you want to play online. It's garbagio, but Sony has always treated it's gaming customers like garbage.
 
Wasn't there a time when PlayStation Online was actually free? I remember deciding to get an Xbox 360 because my friends all had one but I really wanted a PS3 because I had only had PlayStations up until that point.
