Am I the only one not excited for this game? It looks boring

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly. It looked vaguely like space fallout. People seem to forget the role mods played and lack of other exciting games at the time older titles released. Todds got mad late-stage George Lucas energy and i dont fall for it for a second.

I want it to be good but my hopes aren't super high. "1000 procedurally generated planets" is a MASSIVE red flag to me, and unless Bethesda pulls off a miracle there's no way that the core gameplay elements won't be spread just as thin as the world is. It's the fundamental issue with "do everything!" games, what motivation is there to play the game with ok space combat, exploration, gunaplay and character writing when I can pick the elements interests me and find games where those are the core focus.

Thats fair - everyone has their own view and idea of fun.

I’m sincerely asking, what looks boring to you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just do not think it’s going to be everything people are making it out to be. It looks like a pretty basic space game and nothing more. You explore planets and collect items and go on missions. There was nothing original/new that hadn’t been done before

i dunno man, what new shit do you want out of a space game?

if it works as advertised, 1000 planets and space combat/dog fighting seems dope to me

like, i played a lot of NMS, and there is practically nothing to do in that game. i wont hold my breath but it looks pretty sweet

Just seems like it’s a bunch of ideas thinned out in a large game. Just one of those things where you could play games that specialize in that one area or a couple of em and do it better

Most of Bethesda's games become much better with mods. This will probably be pretty good in a few years.
