That’s fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.

I’m just hoping there’s an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that’s not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I’m hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.

There’s quite a wide range of reviews. I tend to trust the ones who talk about how much fun the side content and faction quests a lot more than I trust the ones that were underwhelmed by the main questline. I’ve been playing these games since Oblivion and the only main questline I ever finished was Fallout NV.

Not really the same type of game at all. Elite is a fun simulation but there’s essentially no story.

In the same way, I’m sure the space combat will be fun in Starfield, with essentially no depth.

All of the most positive reviews I’ve read have been at 80+ hours. Still finding new things to do, which is a good sign.

Docking point for subjective things is weird to me as well. “I wanted a minimap!”

This reviewer also went right into NG+ after finishing the main story. I guess play how you want, but that feels deeply wrong to me.

Yeah I watched that. It was almost all dev talk, some views on the major city, and some promises. I meant like, I haven’t seen ANY impressions from outside the company that made the game.

But yeah, review embargo is up so let’s see

Ohhh, so that’s why he was called Buzz Lightyear!

Being downvoted for sense. What a world.

Man I wish I could even get a consistent impression out of anyone. I’ve been scrounging for pre-release footage but Beth is being weirdly tight lipped about this one.

100% a wait for the reviews situation, the less they show off the more I worry they’re hiding something. Just a reminder to everyone, Fallout 76 was the last game they released…

Am I crazy or has there been almost no pre-release coverage of this game?

Oblivion and Fallout 3 are two of my all-time favourite games (I’ve played the others as well but those 2 stuck with me the most) but I just cannot get hyped for this game. It’s like a black box with people’s hopes and dreams, and it feels like people are just hyping themselves up by imagining what could be inside it.

I couldn’t imagine pre-ordering this game in particular. Beth has been so quiet I’m worried it may just be a total flop.

They also mention that the majority of homeless aren’t that.

Yes, but the majority of visible homeless are.

To add to this, it gets easier over time too. Your body starts to get used to not eating so much, so you don’t feel as hungry, and if you manage to cut down on the fast food intake if you’re lucky it’ll start making fast food taste kinda hollow.

I don’t really have a better word for it. I started to cook and go the decently sized portion route. You can eat an entire stuffed oven roasted chicken breast with a big plate of roasted veggies (with various seasonings to taste - I like garlic powder and red chilies) and feel comfortably full after, for the same amount of calories a big Mac meal would have been. And you actually feel full, and like you’re not loading your body with crap calories that slow you down.

I mean it’d be as realistic as the rest of the AITA posts, I’m on board

Damn, these are great, thanks! Surprisingly chill at times, and the cello!!

Edit: not a cello! Apparently what I’m hearing is either the balalaika or the morin khuur, super cool!

Ok thank you this is a sick recommendation. Do I have the right album? Wolf Totem is on an album called The Gereg

Man, you need bigger problems in your life.

I had a friend who learned the phrase “I currently have an axe lodged in my head” in a few dozen languages for the same reason.

I think the Russian conception of Nazi is literally someone who threatens Russia.

Yep. Just like the US definition of socialist/communist/terrorist

Unfortunate but this is the truth. Too many of us have been accustomed to small luxuries like “affording takeout”, but we unfortunately have been priced out of being able to afford stuff like this.

It’s a tough pill to swallow if you’ve been doing it your whole life and think that a functioning adult with a full-time job should be able to afford some takeout every now and again. We are not the generation that gets to enjoy that privilege, it seems.
