Delicious!

If only they put that much attention to detail into the rest of the game.

>>536872880
Not the first time Bethesda was lazy with designing the kids

Post ships.

Reinstalled after having played a bit at launch and holy shit that ground buggy is such a game changer.

What a dedicated and loyal fanbase Starfield has

>>536874695
He just confirmed they're still working on Starfield with the next DLC still coming as planned, the hoes from the last thread are gonna be so mad. lol

They must have been reading the last thread, they actually mentioned dlc, and space travel stuff.

Dang it. I got got.

Well 2 year is coming up, hurry the hell up.

>>536875335

Has anyone tried putting together every fourth word he says in case there's a code or something for the DLC?

>>536875448
This is likely the start of a month long PR campaign for the anniversary to remind people it exists.
Hopefully they have something really good to bring people back.

>they play on console
Dropped.

>>536875448
according to steamdb is has around 7k during peak hours. Skyrim still has around 30k, so it's looking pretty grim.

Timb Lamb the Visor Guy confirms more Starfield is coming and base game systems are being enhanced. "Dead game" retards can shut the fuck up and die now.

>>536875448
It would seem that way if you're only focusing on the "active at all times" Steam player count and not including Xbox and Game Pass players. The amount of players on PC alone should still be well into the tens of thousands or higher with the proof being in the unique download count of mods that are considered to be a necessity to have

EVERY time Starfield announces something, it gets utterly dunked on by Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky or Baldurs Gate. Every fucking time

infinite universes mate. In this one she's a black child

>>536875448
Starfield's playercounts has been rising and it's pretty much outdoing 99% of the games released 2 years ago. The only games that beat it are mega juggernauts in sales so Starfield is just right next to them which shows how powerful the game's playerbase is.

>>536877156
All those kids are not even the actual Constellation members, they're all what ifs where the player had a child with them, although they're not actually the children of Constellation or the player either.

Literally no more than we had before this video was uploaded. We already knew this shit and they've shown literally nothing.

>>536876332
They needed 10 years to add what Starfield had fom day one. Yay!

>>536877878
lol this game came and went like a wet fart. Sold less than Starfield too.

I fucking hate ballistic weapons in this game. It feels so out of place. A space man running around with an AK or something is goofy as fuck. Why can't it be lasers? particles? why these old ass guns that probably rip through space suits and should kill in one hit but don't because ????

>>536878935
and yet is has double the player base as Starfield

>>536878324
....what? Bethesda and Obsidian are owned by MS and both are treated well.

>>536878995
Because that wouldn't be fun. Go play Arma3 if you want autistic realism.

>>536878995
They're for /k/ enthusiasts.

>>536879175
What? I want cool space weapons. I DON'T want old ass earth guns still kicking around in the future because bethesda probably had some assets lying around and decided to use them to save cash. They make no sense in the world.

>>536879027
Companies care about money, not retards addicted to a mid game with terrible combat.

>>536879337
Then use the cool space weapons, particle and laser guns are the stronger than ballistics anyway.

>>536878523
But it's officially confirmed now, so we can enjoy new material from the haters as they pivot from "dead game" to some other tactic.

>>536879337
>Stop using effective weapons and destroy immersion because I want to play a game that isn't nasa-punk
Fuck off.

>>536879391

I'm not sure if you're referring to KCD2 or Starfield.

>>536879337
>They make no sense in the world.
It's only 300 years in the future. Perfectly reasonable for some people to still walk around with AKs

>>536879536
>nasa punk
God I hate this shit. Nevermind that its a total nonsense phrase, its also ugly and unappealing and they drop all pretense the second you step outside your shit. Nasapunk doesn't last beyond the airlock. It doesn't apply to cities, guns, creatures, anything. Totally out of place and ugly.

Remember when that guy stole a copy of Starfield early and streamed it, played really badly, told Todd he "made a good game tbf" and got arrested? lmao

>>536881867
>Two years
Stop being a dramatic fag, the game did even release two years ago. We've had a bunch of updates (updates that include improved graphics, performance, and adding the buggy just to name a few)
and a DLC expansion. People weren't happy with smaller regular updates so they're going to do a big update all at once.

>>536881867
Technically three times now, with the new Tim Lamb video. And it's only a few weeks after the last "exciting things" message. Odd time for it to come out, too, so soon before the 2 year anniversary. Maybe they'll talk about more then, or maybe we'll get another "don't worry guys" message in early October or something

>>536882346
>updates that include improved graphics, performance, and adding the buggy just to name a few
So they finally finished what should have been the release build

>>536882613
>>536876332
kek there is just no room for this fucking game

>>536882756
Starfield haters will now pretend they give a shit about the MCU so they can have something else as ammo to try dunking on Starfield

>NOOOOOO STOP ENJOYING STARFIELD! L-LOOK, THESE THINGS ARE G-GETTING ANNOUNCEMENTS TOO! B-BRUTAL M-MOGGINGS!
lol

They did that interview just to officially announce the upcoming content without showing anything
Smart

>>536883797
They pretty much already did that when they tweeted in March and said "coming months" a few weeks ago. Either they're gearing up for an actual announcement or they're stupid. Maybe both.

He went out of his way to announce fucking nothing.

>>536876332
All those games are no open world rpg with base/ship building in space. Starfield has no competion in that.

>>536887962
If starfield was in a competition for who had the best base/ship building mechanics and the only other contestant was also starfield, it would still lose.

I'm unironically so hyped

This and a conversation with Sarah

>>536848425
>weird jihad against Bethesda

It would have helped if Starfield, their first original IP in decades, wasn’t set in the most lifeless, boring, sterile, corporatized, safe for kids dogshit slop setting and world ever seen in the sci fi genre. Seriously, this game’s world building is dogshit. It inspires nothing. No character ever goes beyond feeling like “corporate stock video game character”. Nothing in the plot or setting ever feels surprising or daring or bold. It’s absolutely lifeless. That’s why the game is doomed to fail. They’d have to completely reset and rewrite the entire thing from scratch if they want to actually make Starfield anything more than a forgotten footnote that got shit on.

>>536892845
>this game’s world building is dogshit
Yep. Even though they could use our real world as backstory but no every faction and everything has to be america vs america with nigs everywhere.

>>536892845
They're not going to, so you're just going to have to play something else. Maybe the next Mass Effect when it comes out

Fuck the haters. Anyone else absolutely fucking hyped? We know there's going to be a new cruise mode, so that's cool. Do we think maybe flying in atmosphere? Traversable planets? What other gameplay features do you think they're adding to the base game? I'm willing to bet they'll be finishing off the Trackers Alliance with a whole quest line. New boss enemies. New POIs naturally. Holy shit I cannot wait.

>use the real world as a setting base
>pave over all its nations and ideologies with sanitized replacements
It feels like the worldbuilding equivalent of uncanny valley. I can easily suspend disbelief in a fictional world, but when all this nonsense is supposed to be taking place in our world it falls apart. Why the fuck are there dirt roads in a superpower's capital? Why haven't the Ashta been turned into skull mountains? How did Jinan's retarded snake cult not get laughed out of town by secularists or just murdered by third worlders?

Can you actually fly from planet to planet in the same system or is it all a smoke and mirrors instance when you jump to a planet

>>536902869
There is a mod that enables your ship to achieve ludicrous speed that does let you fly to different planets in the system seamlessly, so it is one gigantic space. But the planets and bodies themselves are just huge rudimentary models with no collision or anything, and nothing actually spawns (eg space debris, asteroids, enemies etc) outside of very small specific boxes in the orbit of planets that you spawn into automatically by using the fast travel menu.

>>536900161
>How did Jinan's retarded snake cult not get laughed out of town by secularists or just murdered by third worlders?
Third faction, third world. Freestar #1, UC is trash.

Behold! The great serpent!

>>536900161
You're asking the dumbest questions about the lore. Everyday I'm convinced that Emil is in the right about keeping it simple stupid because some people think they are smarter than the games they are playing. I blame 4chan for this.

>Starfield could have been set in the midst of the war between the great powers, could have had a New Vegas style plot where the player decides the direction of the war and the fate of the powers by aligning themselves ideologically with one or the other, gives an excuse for great set pieces, consequential player choice, and post game discussion about consequences and narrative implications
>hmm no. Let’s set it way after that happened so the universe is incredibly boring and static. Then let’s make the main plot about magic space woo woo macguffin and the marvel multiverse so literally nothing has any consequence or weight. Fucking epic!

It’s unbelievable just how retarded Emil and Bethesda writers in general are. They had the opportunity for a decently interesting set up and backdrop for the main narrative and they threw it away for no good reason. It confounds and boggles the mind

>>536904810
>Wanting Bethesda scale wars
>Wanting to engage in Pseudo-intellectual discussion about which choice is objectively correct
You feel disappointed? good. Here's hoping that feeling lingers more in your heart and mind.

>>536900161
>how did Jinan's retarded snake cult not get laughed out of town by secularists or just murdered by third worlders?

We ask ourselves this about scientology. There also seems to actually be something to the great serpent shit.

The dirt roads are stupid but at the same time look at russia, china, and south america which have dirt roads in large settlements in backwater areas. Dirt roads aren't really necessary or restrict you from doing anything.

On the ashta I think the settlement isn't that old and the government is ineffective by design. The fc are basically minarchists that don't give a fuck about providing public services like wildlife management which also explains the lack of paved roads.

>>536904810
Phil spencer tricked Todd into rushing the game for them to be one of the flaship games of shitbox, they failed

>>536905236
>disappointed

No, because that would require me to have high expectations of Bethesda, which apparently neither of us share. It’s more just dumbfounded that they were able to accidentally write into the worldbuilding a narrative set up that would have been a vastly better alternative route for the main story - and then went with something insanely more lame and retarded instead. It’d be like Tolkien taking the events of the Lord of the Rings and rather than making it the main focus wrote it in as vaguely referenced background fluff for a story about hobbits going on a mundane hike.

>>536905940
Why do you lie to yourself? you obviously feel some type of way because a complete apathy wouldn't motivate you to write these posts in the first place. You said it yourself, it's unbelievable.

>>536905578
Another point i wanted to add is that all old world religions were disproven. Islam, Christianity, Judaism give very specific prophecy and expectations for the future which were thrown out the window with the earth becoming uninhabitable. This leaves open a vacuum for a new religion and paradigm.

>>536906473
Judaism would be thoroughly rekt most likely on account of their obsession with material land and temple being so tantamount to their religious beliefs and claims. Christianity wouldn’t be affected really. The entire point of divine revelation is that the world to come is all that matters, there isn’t a physical place or location in the material realm that’s divine or significant which would render the religion invalid if it were to be destroyed. There is no definitive future prophecy in Christianity; Revelation is read differently and on many different levels depending on the sect and wouldn’t become moot due to Earth’s destruction. As long as humans are still around Christianity would be valid. Not familiar with Islamic theology much but I’m sure they’d find some way to cope as well on a similar level since I don’t think they have quite as much of an obsession with physical places either compared to Judaism, though I guess there is Mecca to contend with

>>536907587
Nice

>>536904810
Who another rpg set in a factional conflict, really inventive.

>>536908259
>it has to be inventive!!!

Since Fallout 3 Bethesda haven’t even graduated from writing main storylines that aren’t total dogshit; Skyrim was a fluke and that was just mediocre. This is a new original universe. Playing it safe with plot structure is basic common sense. Trying to reinvent the wheel when your writing team is already seen as weak and you are just establishing a new universe is insanely retarded, as we can see from how Starfield turned out.

>>536908584
Nobody is trying reinvent the wheel the point is they don't have to make the same game like one trick ponies. Would rather see them try and failing then making generic war questline like Fallout 4.

>>536909209
>would rather see them try

Is that what they were doing with Starfield? Wow

>>536909273
Yes and (You) crying about Bethesda not following the new vegas formula is a testament of that.

>>536907374
Biblical prophecy entails "the nations" and a "table of nations" and temple centered in Jerusalem in both Christianity, Judaism and to an extent Islam. Islam predicts a Mahdi who will rule Arabia while Isa rules from Jerusalem. Christianity focuses on a spiritual kingdom sure but still anticipates the continued existence of the current worldly order and nations until the second coming. The Jewish view is basically the expectation Christians have for the antichrist with a false 3rd temple in Jerusalem and the Islamic view is similar to the Christian view. Everything would have to be reinterpreted heavily. The only type of Christianity I see surviving is new age unitarian crap that isn't concerned with literal truth and Islam would be done. The great serpent shit is a perfect opportunity to swoop in and gobble up all of these people looking for a new source of meaning and context for this new age of humanity.

>>536909652
So true Starxiste- ACK!

>>536910210
Why are you always ACKing? How often do you post like this?

>>536910007
>Biblical prophecy entails "the nations" and a "table of nations" and temple centered in Jerusalem

There is no physical temple whatsoever prophesied or believed to be important in Christianity outside of insane modern Evangelical heresy that tries to push the idea of “judeo Christian”. “Nations” would just refer to people groups in general, and wouldn’t require literal Earth-bound countries to still exist.

>>536910210
The goal post didn't just change it flew to Mars

>>536910804
The goal post was to establish that Bethesda was actually “trying” by shitting out a garbage, completely forgettable and inconsequential main storyline for their new IP under the guise that it was actually meant to be “original” and “inventive” (it’s literally about your character being Dragon I mean Starborn and collecting dragon shouts I mean star powers)

>>536905578
Scientology is a relatively small cult that tries to keep its craziness and abuses in house. Tom Cruise isn't running around screaming about Xenu and SAG isn't forcing random people to do their dumb thetan test thing at gunpoint. The closest equivalent to the openly nutty and totalitarian Va'ruun is hardcore Islam. Its not hard to imagine a cult rising to power in an isolated space colony, but its the writers job to explain how that happens and all they really did was "Jinan was popular and then spacefaring people decided to adopt clan structures, sacrifice goats and kill nonbelievers".
>>536910007
Problem is earth is still intact. Everyone would just slap some habs in the relevant spots to keep the prophecies valid.

>>536910592
The antichrist builds a temple in Jerusalem where he rules and reigns from. That's what I'm talking about. Christians believe Christ and the church is the 3rd temple, but the worldly order of the antichrist and a false covenant centered around a physical 3rd temple (which is not approved by God) is the Christian expectation. I'm not talking about evangelical boomer tards that apply all prophecy about the church to the modern kike state.

I'm actually having fun

I reached lvl 70 and only just now realised I put like 60% of my points into science skills. Am I doing it wrong or extremely right?

>>536911961
>Problem is earth is still intact. Everyone would just slap some habs in the relevant spots to keep the prophecies valid.

Maybe some holdouts would do that but I think most would see the jig is up and be looking for a new source of faith.

>>536911985
I see what you mean now. but simply reinterpreting the eventual temple of the Antichrist as being in a different place than the physical Jersualem of history would not be a very tall order. Much greater theological copes have been made to justify schisms and new denominations.

I want sit in my ship's living room and watch Red Shoe Diaries, Emmanuelle in Space and The Bare Wench Project with Sarah and Andreja.

>>536911025
Yes, whether you like it or not. It's definitely new and your fallback to the player numbers shows your lack of argument against that point >>536909652

Bet you feel real smart when you're discussing with the politics of new vegas with RPGCodex fags.

>>536914026
>it’s new

The Starxister copium is so sweet, so savory…

Whay are you on?

>>536914413
>Rehash of Skyrim because... they share the same name
Kindergarten level of observation, you should make video essays with that level of intellect.

>>536902869
You can do that kind of. If you start in the orbit of one planet and fly to another one (using console commands to make your ship faster so it doesn't take a month) the game will recognize that you've entered a different orbit and show the new planet in your map screen. They were working on these systems before launch and are most likely finally going back to finish them. I assume they will be adding a new type of booster or something that will allow you to reach other planets in a minute or two.

>ancient forces have left behind magic artifacts granting special powers
>player is nobody who becomes chosen one due to ability to harness magic power from these artifacts
>collects all these powers
>faces their “mirror” (Alduin/Emissary and Hunter)
>enters Sovngarde/the Unity

Only difference is Skyrim is a fantasy game so the magic powers are far more coherent with the setting and it has a huge bedrock of lore to build off from to make this more compelling and to add additional layers to the story (civil war and mortal powers clashing while all this is going on)

Starfield has no lore, is tonally and conceptually at odds with the entire set up, and has nothing else happening in the backdrop of these events. It’s Skyrim’s storyline but totally stripped down. It’s almost like Bethesda initially tried to do something new that fit with the setting, couldn’t land on anything so just reverted to the Skyrim set up as a fail safe

>>536887550
Hard confirming that they are indeed working on spaceflight/travel updates (supercruise mode for intersystem travel/interstellar travel) isn't nothing

>>536915608
You can apply that to most stories with a MacGuffin(s) if you're as reductive with them as you are with Skyrim. Hell it works with Zelda

>>536916125
So is Starfield new and original or is it a rehash of old ground? The former was the original argument I thought, for why it would have been a bad idea to set the game during the war between the factions and making that the narrative focal point instead, even though it would have been far more exciting and would allow them to tell an epic story in a strictly sci fi frame without space magic and fantasy being at the center

>>536893465
at best POIs/random encounter generation will be added to star system worldspaces in the next big update to go with the updates to space travel
Maybe making the orbit to surface transition seamless (probably an animation that acts a hidden load screen while it transitions to a surface map and streams it all in, which they did previously in FO4 with elevator transitions)
Traversable planets maybe since they were already working on laying groundwork for that with the vehicle update upping the playable size of generated landing zones but prob not in the next update

>>536916306
If it's a rehash, you wouldn't complain about it not being set in an ongoing war.

>>536916306
I only entered this schizo thread a couple replies ago, but if you're being reductive most stories follow formulas like the hero's journey. They differentiate in things like tone, prose, genre and the style through which the story is told.

>>536916628
Being original is overrated. There is no need to subvert and change plot structure constantly to be inventive and new, especially not when you’re trying to establish a new universe. My point is that either way it wouldn’t have been any more or less original or inventive anyway from a conceptual standpoint; but one certainly offers a much better opportunity to tell a compelling story within a standard framework.

>>536916724
I agree with you

>>536914941
It'll probably be a new prompt from the starmap or when you've moused over the planet/star in your field of view
I wouldn't be surprised if they intend for it to replace the current gravjump mechanic since it effectively supplants it
also they should hopefully add fuel mechanics back in with this update

I want to have a full crew compliment on this ship but I obviously can't edit it. Are there any mods that increase the amount of crew you can have without it being a piece you have to add in the editor?

Sarah kinda feels like one of those elusive blonde love interest that tends to get taken away from you during the plot (if you let her die), like Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, Terra, Gwen Stacey and Huntsgirl

>>536932073
shes more like an annoying step-mom but go off

i dont care if they're working on something, and that theyve been working on it for a year or whatever. the silence is ridiculous and it cannot be accepted in the industry. i paid fucking money for this.

>>536933739
You paid money for a full game that already exists. Bethesda is not indebted to you at this time. Even if you bought the premium edition, Shattered Space already released a year ago.

>>536936198
They don't legally owe people, but they have a financial incentive to maintain interest in the game to drive CC sales. A roadmap would probably do that better than the silent treatment.

Are you sure? You hang out in its general thread quite a lot, despite not liking the game. Do you have a hobby? Or is this actually it?

If anything Bethesda should have made more DLC for their older games like Skyrim but I guess they wanted to move on and couldn't spare the people like they could now with Starfield.

Man you Starxisters get really mean and catty when you don’t have a based chud like me shitting on the game

>>536949095
Might be time to just automatically assume that anyone sowing negative discourse in this thread and those of us responding to it even if it's in the best of interest towards this game is just one anon samefagging with himself.

Shame upon you.

They're not doing a very good job...

>>536931435
I think star wars is garbage at this point and will keep getting worse, so i rate trekkies higher now

Up

Honestly I feel like COVID had a big impact on the development of Starfield because there's a lot of design decisions that dont make sense until you try to bolt all the systems they made separately into one game which only makes sense if they all worked from home and didnt talk to each other about the weirdness and discrepancies.

>>536942130
>There's no weird jihad against Starfield, guise!

>>536974581
The reason they cut much of the crafting aspects of shipbuilding was because they couldn't establish a development pipeline for the assets so yeah there's some evidence for your theory.

>>536924548
Neon concept art

>>536981276
Would be a good planet to implement boats or underwater exploration

>>536982410
If they were doing any pollution on Neon, the planet's probably bound to be filled with all sorts of fucked up mutated aquatic life too, would be the ideal planet for a horror story to take place.

>>536981276
Interesting. You think they are doing Neon expansion or just told them to stand up next to it for footage

>>536975002
There's not, it's just that no one likes the game so it became an easy punching bag

There are various tactics that can cause the illusion of a larger worldspace. Shame they didn't really use them.

>>536998740
All they had to do was build some internals to the city that make it feel bigger. Undercities, engineering areas, etc.

Dying Light 2, a single player game about zombies has double the amount of concurrent players on Steam. Explanation?

>>536999721
Dying Light has co-op though

>>536999959
Oh shut up. Starfield isn't a very good game, and thats the only reason you need. Starbros constantly trying to reach for ANY other reason than that to explain the low sales and low player counts when the answer is so fucking simple. None of this "well normies just want action shooty shooty" as if Starfield didn't try and fail to do that. "Well normies just don't appreciate deep slow experiences" as if there aren't entire quests that consist of nothing but conversations in Cyberpunk. Like, shut the fuck up.

It looks like it, but why would they show it in a developer direct for Starborn?

Damn guys, nms might have shit on starfield too hard.
Can we get away from creation engine eventually?

>>537010887
Nah NMS is ugly and there's even less to do.

>>537010887
>Can we get away from creation engine eventually?
Any argument for this?
It's a classic meme to complain about it seems to be able to do a lot as an engine. Whatever people don't seem to like has more to do with how developers use it.

>>537012203
>Any argument for this?
shit animations, shit movement, load screens, flat terrain, clunky ass 30 year old games released in 2023

>>537011060
>Nah NMS is ugly and there's even less to do.
For the price of watchtower and the vulture, I'm going to try it.

>>536910210
Oh no… oh no no no …. This can’t be real…

You’re telling me New Vegas (released 2010) gets consistently higher concurrent player counts than Starfield (released 2023??)

Pfffft hahaha yikes that is actually sad. What the hell happened? That’s crazy. TES6 is in dire straits atp

>>537010887
>the engine

Lmao you fucking retards still don’t get it. What you think if Bethesda just licensed a new engine suddenly the devs would be able to make genius tier shit and flawlessly do everything they actually wanted to? The DEVS at Bethesda are who suck, not the game engine or tech or anything else, the DEVS suck and are not skilled or talented enough to do what they need to.

New Vegas came out in 2010 and solo modders were able to introduce drivable cars, tanks, planes and helicopters in shit tier teenaged Gamebryo, mean while Bethesda couldn’t manage to get a basic buggy vehicle ready by the time Starfield launched.

Would you rather Sarah or Delphine?

>>536910210
kek what a failed game

>>537018681
It's also the engine limitations anon, thats why it all still plays like morrowind.

Huh, I should look into mods that give me the option of adding hot tubs to my outposts

Go back to sleep you dumb maderchod

I hope they do a 2.0 on the lore and just retcon/patch the shit out of it. So much garbage that just makes the world feel fake and small

>>537026703
Have you played Morrowind? Lol. I did not say went the formula came about

Which was Oblivion, not Morrowind, and they have kept the formula becuase the fans love it.

>>537033573
I did years ago. They've condensed a lot of it down.
The code is still in there, you can speed up running and adjust jump height for example.
Problem is it still has clunky movement and shit animation that feels very much the same as old morrowind.
Starborn powers are just hotkey oblivion spells.
Yes, they've tried to modernize things over the years, but at its core its still old clunky.

>>537034641
>>537035024
and after putting up both pictures I realize its the same damn jump animation

>>537034641
Dude, are you a retard? Everything, including UE5 has legacy code

And you say the animation is the same as Morrowind, makes me know you are just a stupid retard troll

>>537035182
Animation is movement, you are looking still photos.

>>537035226
>>537035432
buttmad I have photographic proof its the same game after 30 years

>>537035182
You know that animation is based off real movements right? And they will look alike,right, or are you too stupid?

Or you think games should have anime animation?

>>537035738
Fus Ro Gravity Wave nerd

>>537035582
You need video proof, idiot, we are talking about animation, not landscape.

>>537035997
Look at the body, arms like you're sitting in an armchair, left leg up, right leg down.

Starfield should have had a more ME1 style system with the procedural planet stuff. Ie have 4 or 5 really big handcrafted maps, maybe half the size of Skyrim each, focused around a genuinely large city full of its own points of interests, quests, dungeons etc that operate like an entire game world from their other games would. Then have the procedural stuff be clearly separated for the point of building outposts and getting resources. as it is it feels like they kind of half assed it, so they have individual cities that are around the same scope as cities in their other games, and then just… procedural stuff everywhere else.

>>537036893
That was not the aim of the game, you can play Outer Worlds for that

>>537037160
I'm starting to think they didn't have an aim for the game other than space. None of it is coherent, none of it works together.

>>537035024
I really hate that there are rocks scattered uniformly everywhere. It doesn't look good and make the traversal an ass.

>>537037613
More like started with 150 devs, design the game that manpower, they were then given Battlecry and Escalation Studios and formed Montreal between 2015-218

Then they had to put the four studios on Wastelanders, then Covid, then MSFT bought them. Plus a new IP. It was not like it was a smooth process

>>537038575
