Centurion Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Tho I will say, I haven’t encountered any bugs yet or glitches. Haven’t had a crash yet either. Animations, people graphics, clothes, and overall graphically fidelity is phenomenal. I have high hopes for TES 6 in these areas. An elder scrolls game with the picture and smoothness of gameplay will be ground breaking. In terms of how much of an improvement Starfield is compared to Fallout 4 would be like going from Morrowind to Skyrim SE Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely longer than helgen. I’d say it would be Fallout 4’s intro, but instead of exiting the vault and getting free reign, you’d need to rescue Preston and then the game let’s you vibe 1 Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 10 hours ago, The Good Doctor said: This could be good for video games. Hollywood celebrity voice actors have been such a pain for the industry. Companies can save millions of dollars and get better talent by just hiring regular old professional VAs in their place. Does a game really improve that much from having Peter Dinklage in it? Starting to think the Film Actors Guild just hates actors and is trying to starve them out of the industry. "Can’t work on movies/TV? Fine, I’ll pay my bills doing commercials. Oh, no commercials either? Okay… video games it is… damnit." I had no idea that the nanny had become such a tyrant. The article mostly mentioned motion capture. They're afraid that studios will use human mocap sessions to train AI. It really is just tilting against the inevitable. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Did you notice an option to re-edit your character at the end of the intro, like they used to do?

Centurion Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Although the tutorial being longer makes sense because it introduces you to a lot, like movement, extraction, flight, space combat, grab jumping, pirates, etc whereas fallout and Skyrim are here’s how to swing a sword and cast a spell lol Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallout 3 probably has my favorite intro to any of Bethesda’s games since Morrowind. I just want the option to skip it on subsequent playthroughs.

Dedicating an hour to the exact same content every time I make a character is excessive. This is one critique of Cyberpunk 2077 that's actually fair. Act One up through the Heist is pretty linear and gets really repetitive on replays, though to be fair you can explore one district and there are several ways to play the Heist and its predecessor missions. Watching that Random Film Critic final review of Rings of Power, a penny dropped... the showrunners are proteges of J.J. Abrams. My god, who in hell at Amazon looked at these two young inexperienced writers (who even look kind of like Dumb and Dumber), witnessed what Abrams has done to the Star Wars fandom, and thought "let's hand our studio over to them"? This duo also wrote early drafts for Star Trek: Beyond. My only association with that movie is hearing Critical Drinker use it as an example of how un-talented writers try to crib off better material that's gone before them for cheap sentimental value. That sounds familiar... Once again, what was Bezos drinking that day? Sorry to beat the dead horse. I just can't get over how these shitty writers have been handed successful IPs and fucking boatloads of cash and turned them into incomprehensible shit. Then tried to blame the audiences for the failures. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

I’ve played Act 1 three times now, so I definitely know what you mean. Though at least some of the quests in it do have multiple ways to move through them, so it’s not completely identical every time. 5 minutes ago, Celan said: Watching that Random Film Critic final review of Rings of Power, a penny dropped... the showrunners are proteges of J.J.

I haven’t gotten far enough to actually know what the fuck they are about other than United Colonies claims to be the direct descendants of earth and its governments, earth being rendered uninhabitable in the early 2200’s. The Freestar Collective idk I have encountered them yet, the crimson fleet is space pirates and House Var’uun are crazy homicidal space Christian’s that worship a giant snake. I’m sure I’ll be able to give a more in-depth description in like a week or two lol.
