    "Just turn your brain off and you'll enjoy it" is such a stunted and fundamentally insane argument when choosing how to spend your free time. We have WAY too many media options, and with MANY of them, we don't Need to turn off our brains to enjoy them. We can have standards and still enjoy a great number of games without having to turn on our "stupid switch".
    Forcing yourself to NOT be critical to enjoy something is like pissing on your own free time while simultaneously enabling lazy game development. Just do things that are actually uncompromising. Your short time on this earth is worthy of high standards.

      @@Lerppunen You prove my point. "Great" games these days pale in comparison to the great and good games of 10 to 20 years prior. Both of those games are slop compared to BioWare at their finest with Mass Effect 1 and 2.
      Cyberjunk's narrative and characters are pure slop, with it's gameplay being on par with it's contemporaries and uncommon setting being it's only saving graces. You play as a sideb1tch to Silverhand - who is the real protagonist - V is just along for the journey. And the DLC (that everyone falsely claimed fixed the problems) made V a sideb1tch again to the Prez's story. On top of that V is dead in less than 2 weeks and is wasting his time doing any of the side gigs. The Montage that just skips over the character development of and between V and Jackie, and how they establish themselves in their joint line of work. The complete lie that from the Devs that; "it'll be the best open world game ever" and doesn't do any of the things that Saints Row 1/2 and GTA3/4 that pushed open world genre forward. And the Flathead robot trailer being "but this is just 1 mission out of many" being the biggest lie, 'cause that's the only missions like that in the entire game before the DLC.
      Choosing two games with coomer brained content is also interesting. If those contents weren't in either games, I bet 3/4 the people praising them now, won't if they weren't in the games initially.
      And compounding the problem, is the frequency of great years per year has dropped significantly. We get 1 "great" game per year (none of which are for me), with cyberjunk and Bear Gate 3, compare that to 2004 were we had over 10 great games (most of this list pushed their respective genres forward) release in 1 year:-
      Half Life 2, Counter Strike: Source, Far Cry, DOOM 3, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, LOTR: The Third Age, LOTR: The Battle For Middle-Earth, GTA: San Andreas, SW: KOTOR 2, SW: Battlefront, WH40k: Dawn Of War.

    My theory as to the rifle not reloading in first person: Bethesda forgot to make a first person reload animation for that specific gun and the game code is assuming that if the animation doesn't play then the player must be out of ammo and therefore doesn't reload the gun.

    • @yyyahwehhh
      @yyyahwehhh 2 місяці тому +3

      What? 😂
      There’s a variable specifically for player ammo. Why would an “out of ammo” state be tied to whether or not an animation plays vs the variable itself? It would take a lot more effort to program and doesn’t make any sense to begin with. If they didn’t make an animation for it then it just wouldn’t have an animation. Unless they check for an animation and if it doesn’t exist just cancel the reload in general, but that would still have nothing to do with player ammo. I do however think it’s possible that they didn’t make or didn’t import the animation for it.

      Because reload animations are different lengths, it could even be something as simple as "IF animation.finished THEN reload". It seems like a simple way to do it, but if no animation plays, then it can never be "finished", so the ammo never gets updated.

    Starfield base price: $69.99. In a year since launch, Starfield has added for free: topographical maps, a land rover, and fixed some bugs. For additional player money: a quest for a bugged-out gun, as well as other paid mods and quests, and one paid DLC (upcoming).
    Baldur's Gate 3 base price $69.99 ($59.99 if you bought it in EA). In a year since launch, Baldur's Gate 3 has added for free: a single-save honor mode, a game difficulty editor so you can tailor the difficulty to your preference, a "good ending" full epilogue with multiple variations based on player choice, multiple fleshed out bad endings, massive amounts of bug-fixes, and a mod editor and official mod support for all platforms.

    Wish Bethesda never wasted their time with Starfield. I barely even remember the "story" and it's only been a year. The game had nothing interesting or new to say in the story and the gameplay wasn't fun or engaging enough to be worthwhile. Ironically, I think the best part of the game was the Ryujin storyline, but I think I only liked it so much because it reminded me of Cyberpunk lol.

    I'm very experienced in troubleshooting BSG game mods, im like 90% sure that the problem with the trackers alliance DLC rifle is that its either missing its first person animation file, or the guns data has a typo where it references the first person reload animations. Fixing a problem like that, assuming the first person animations are already made, should be like a 5 minuite job at most if you are even remotely familiar with xEdit. it behaves exactly like guns do in Fo4 when you break/remove the first person animations for them, like installing the "Tactical Reload Framework" mod but not downloading the actual TR animations, you get the exact same behavior, pressing reload either does nothing, or causes your arms to move a bit and then fails to continue the reload, in third person it will reload just fine tho (assuming the references to the default third person animations have not been overwritten anywhere)

    The way I play games, watch movies, or read books is pretty similar to what you described. I mostly enjoy the media I consume because I go into the experience with the intent to enjoy it. I play games and find out what they are rather than what I would wish them to be. Too many people have expectations that are either too much or too specific, and they set themselves up for disappointment.
    The entire value of an entertainment product is how much enjoyment or appreciation you have for that product. If you only look for what is wrong, which a lot of people who consume media do on a regular basis, then you have already reduced your enjoyment and appreciation for that piece of media, which means you're much more likely to feel cheated or conned. If I buy a game and like it, even with some flaws, I can't really get cheated because I have derived the value from the game I paid for, regardless of outside opinions. I see very little need to self sabotage my own enjoyment with a lot of pre-release anxiety or nitpicking.
    As for Starfield, I thought it was fun, I put about 100 hours into it, I finished the main story, and I had a lot of other games to play that I wanted to play, so I went to those. I have Game Pass, so my investment was mostly my time, and that made it even easier to be satisfied with my experience. It's unlikely that I'll spend money on the expansion right away because I have way too many games I want to play between now and the end of the year, and with the way next year is looking, it may be some time before I get back to it unless the DLC is very well regarded.

      definitely also too ambitious with so many planets (but they might have been more engaging, complex & fun to explore with 50% more RAM.., besides less loadingscreens, ship take offs, etc.)

    at 13:40 when talking about why the reload works in 3rd person and not first person. It may be possible that the game isn't reading the first person animation or it simply is missing from the mod. Typically for Bethesda games they animate first person and third person separately because some more complex 3rd person animations can be jarring in first person. Like a spin attack or roll for example. My guess is the modder forgot to plug in a first person animation for the reload in creation kit.

    I just want to clarify again, the city of New Atlantis isn't separated via loading screens (except for the underground/works/whatever it's called) and actual shop interiors, it's all part of the surface map and it's all continuous: you can even fly away from the city into the wild then around and back into another district (provided you can clear obstacles like city walls). However, there is a tram that *teleports* you to other districts, and even elevators that take you from one floor to another are mostly just teleports. For example you can take the elevator to a penthouse, then jump off the balcony and land on the street below, seamlessly.
    You can definitely walk from the Business district to the admin district to the residential district and to the park without taking the tram. And you can walk from the subway basement area to the ground level without taking the elevator. Maybe not the actual offices inside the building, that is a separate zone.
    The same thing happens in several parts of Neon: elevators that just move you around a certain distance in the XYZ axis.
    All these teleports, however, trigger a loading screen because the engine sucks at this for some reason.

    I bought the $7 quest. My gun also won't reload, BUT if you click fast enough it has infinite ammo. I don't see people talking about that fun bug. Maybe I got lucky. There is also an archaic FOV / camera jumping bug if you equip the reflex sight. This was an early problem the game had with other guns that was patched out almost a year ago. Fun to see it back.
    I bought the $5 quest. This one was less problematic. However, upon completing it, I discovered I had entirely lost my gravity manipulation power. Turns out part of the quest contains a puzzle with a big magnet, and that magnet probably reuses code relating to the gravity power, causing something to break. So yeah, because I chose to spend more money on this game, I lost an entire power. It's just gone.
    Money well-spent. Quality work being done at Bethesda. Premium, paid product. Very nice.

    I love Starfield and put 70 hours into it before even getting deep into the story. I then stopped playing for like 7 months.
    The rover brought me back and I've been loving it again. This was my key feedback and I'm glad it's back.
    The story and companion interactions are also really great. Starfield is a victim of it's own ambition and scale. It's better than the sum of us parts.

    PS - NMS recently added intergalactic fishing, which even has its own fishing expedition, and it's *awesome*. 🤠
    (Being fair, NMS has had disappointments for me... like "dynamic/random" space stations -- they're different on outside while most are still laid out with exact same layouts on inside again, or "ship customization" with the bizarre restrictions there, and wish NMS had the combat of Starfield.)

    Starfield is a game that was made by a studio that got stuck in 2011 and became complacent with the succes of skyrim . They have been left in the dust by Rockstar,CD project red and other studios a long time ago .

    • @JINGWA64
      @JINGWA64 2 місяці тому +1

      cd project red is kind of trash these days, they failed to deliver what was promised in cyberpunk, even what was advertised by the devs themselves just before release.... the DLC and devs basically ignored it as well while pretending they had fixed the game and delivered, when they had not, thats why i didnt pay for the DLC... i just raised the skull and bones flag and im glad i did... it would have only been acceptable as a free update to the base game, though not one that interested me... the DLC is not even worth $1 on sale in my opinion as such i un-installed the DLC, i didnt want to have it installed with the base game as i thought it was that bad, even for free i didnt want it installed on my PC... the modd community has done far more for the game then the actual devs and fixed many of the problems way way way before the devs did as well, infact many of the mods actually did a better job then the devs after all was said and done as well... thats just how lazy project red devs were in conclusion and the standards they set moving forward, which is a shame.
      Rockstar did okay with rdr2 and gta5, but this was on the fringe of internal policy changes.... hence rdr2 got the middle finger for years after release and still is getting the middle the finger despite updates finally taking place, no major updates to deliver what players have been asking since day 1 have occurred, despite rdr2 online continuing to generate profits post release... meanwhile gta5 is were the 1 man dev team working part time is focused on making the small and lazy content drops for gta5 instead of rdr2 and likewise bringing in the $$$, but no major content updates that need any real work have been added to the game, its all sub mod community level content drops and updates, this is why cheaters are abundant and many issues/wants from the community for both games remain ignored by rockstar despite all the extra money they make from the online side of things, they simple do not care in the slightest...
      so despite how things were in the past, neither of these 2 have set the bar very high in what to expect for their next release, gta6 will be something im very cautious with, especially as im sure they will be heavily focused on the online experience and milk money, so odds are skull and bones from me, while project red... i doubt i will even skull and bones their next release, eitherway both names are already blacklisted from my wallet, they can only get skull and bones treatment from now on.
      this is why many crap games still have a player base... the competition and industry standards are below what was set 20 years ago, its also why indie games made with a 1 man army can do AAA graphics these days... AAA has been nerfing everything including visuals for over a decade, so indie has not only caught up visually, many games have even surpassed AAA visually and in gameplay has been better since long ago already, but still remains the underdog due to there being a growing influx of copium addicts and child lemmings with their mothers wallets attached + manchilds, as the population grows and more lemmings etc are exposed to brainless marketing and follow whats popular over whats actually good..

      Worldbuilding as in world space. A raider settlement 2 minutes away from a farm that's 2 minutes away from a super mutant camp. BGS perfected "stumbling" into quests and locations. Starfield just doesn't feel as cohesive, and the procgen planets are just as bland as the ES Oblivion dungeons.

    I'm a former Marine myself and what your father and buddy said is true. During the most difficult and grueling moments, my mind would just shut off basically. I'd go numb. No thoughts or emotions. My body was just performing the actions required. This wasn't explicitly taught to us in training though. It's something my mind just did automatically as a way of coping with the stress of what I was experiencing at the moment. It worked. While it didn't make the moment any less horrible, it allowed me to get through it.

What makes it bad, is that it gives the impression that Bethesda doesn't have their priorities in order.

Fix your game, make sure we can actually play it, and then sell us 'overpriced', 'underwhelming', microtransactions, not before! ☝🧐

      And the imperial city in oblivion is supposed to have a population in the millions. Yes I said that right. MILLIONS. In game it's about 100 people, including the guards.

      Bethesda doesn't like wasted space in their cities. You can explore every building, and every building has a purpose.
      In games like cyberpunk, 90% of the buildings are just set dressing. Empty husks that are just decoration. One isn't better than the other, they both have their ups and downs. In bethesdas case, the cities look far smaller than they actually should be.

      in starfield u have the option to save the npcs in ever major quest .

    I am modding this game a lot, and also creating my own mods to improve it. Honestly, the base game does have way too many hiccups and bugs, but I am still able to find joy in it. I'm no fanboy of Bethesda, I just love their approach to exploration where you can walk around and do stuff (even if it's wonky and takes time to get to)... I wasn't too excited about vehicles because it's too hard to traverse maps with it. I get stuck with it more than I'd like to but hey I guess it's free update so no complaints here. Anyway, I'm hoping that with more mods down the line, and more updates/DLC they will improve the game to at least acceptable levels for common players. I'm no ordinary player, as I said, I play this game to enjoy it but also to mod it.
