Anyone who's been playing Starfield for a while? How is it?
I got about 10-12 hours in and got bored of it. I was all for a bethesda esque space fairing RPG but the procedurally generated quests/ worlds/ dungeons got lame fast and really wasn't the right move. Some others I know enjoyed it though

I'm hyped for this one. I played through all of the first one and it was punishing/abusive but great.

@AFL_ITALIA you heard of Farthest Frontier? Sort of a medieval Cities Skylines but with more resource and worker management. I got it in the January sale and I love it. Still with my first town and we've had two disasters. Most recent was yesterday when I left it running when I went to the shops, came back and 80% of my population had died and the remainder were abandoning their homes :lol: Still have zero idea what happened lmao

I haven't heard of it, good to know.

Will have to look into it later.

Yeah, it kinda looks...empty? Idk.
Would have just wanted another Fallout instead.

Speaking of, Obsidian (maker of the best Fallout game to date @AFL_ITALIA ) is gonna release this soon:


Hope it doesn't suck.
Just read up a bit on it. It's NOT open world, that's interesting considering seemingly every game is these days. Wonder if we'll see a shift away from them now.

All my "hope it doesn't suck" energy is going to Intergalactic. The aesthetic looks beautiful, but that woman in the trailer would probably be the most annoying protagonist in history.

This is a sexist take but I don't play videogames or watch films and shows with female protagonists. Das some gay shit.

Now it makes sense why 5-6 times he nearly broke up with the same Sheila @Quetzalcoatl :p:D



Seriously tho, that's 50% of world populations human stories you skiping out on over some random insecurity.


Stories are either good or not, rest are irrelevant beyond that fact. Depending on genres or forced narratives as other factors.

Oh yes I did. I liked that. Should play part 2!

To be fair I did like The Last of Us as well. I don't have a fucked up view of women but I'd rather skip the cringe that comes with most content with female protagonists.

I haven't played Tomb Raider since I was 7-8 on the PS1. I played Horizon for a bit but got bored, although it had nothing to do with the main character.

It's more to do with films and shows tbh. There aren't that many games with female protagonists.
