My google news feed is like all Starfield now - getting ridiculous and i'm expecting by tomorrow will be like "Should you make french toast and eat it while playing Starfield?"
Sniping pirates and leaving them sitting in odd poses is oddly sad. Sometimes they freeze in place sitting on a couch or whatever. Low G has some weird stuff going on when you kill someone too, although watching dead bodies slowly float down is a neat touch.
Yeah started finding some neat stuff as I go further out. It's not that it's not there, it's just that you don't tend to stumble upon it. Like I'll go to a planet do a mission open up and scan and see some POI like 1200m away. Now do I really want to tedious run over empty nothingness to see if it's like a space hut or another pirate base etc? I definitely check out nearby POI especially if they are on the way to where i need to go.
(Still having fun in the game though and I guess later having options to at least poke around in new places will be fun and i'm curious if the critters are fixed or procedural, like will there be variants all over or just the same few species)
I've been enjoying Starfield - but the empty planets suck, especially without vehicles. The scanning thing is boring and dumb, worse than trying to get 100% on a NMS world. It's a shame that fast travel disconnects you from the space feel of the game, but it makes the rest of the game playable. I like the game overall, but they have definitely dropped the ball on space travel. In theory it'd be cool to come across different "dungeons" etc, as in Skyrim when wandering around, but doesn't happen in Starfield because you're generally not going to happen upon them. It's not interesting to drop down to random planets.
Did Flair and it was fine - after Swoop wanted to "rebook" a flight within a week of when it was supposed to leave to like the week after I was supposed to return.
We figured just renting a car at our destination would pay for the entire trip (gas, hotels etc) and then flights on top of that (and airport parking etc)
I don't think there are any airlines that aren't on my no-fly list at this point. (Actually decided to do a rather long drive for this years vacation between the cost of air travel, and the nonsense)
I have an XBox One S (and a PC) - really hits home when in Game Stop with my kids and they were looking around (mainly for figures and such), and i'm like "there's nothing for me here". Of course I haven't bought a physical PC title in over 10 years now that I think of it. I feel for the shop owners, they haven nothing for me to buy and I used to like going to shop around. Come to think of it I used to go to book stores quite often too, but not since i got my first kindle.
I did recently re-buy an Xbox 360 and it is kind of nice to browse second hand shops and such and just pickup a game that I can just play without internet etc.
I remember waiting and waiting for an MMO named Atriarch that never came out - it seemed impossible, player created structures in 3D? Years later I remembered Atriarch and realized it's dreams had kind of been achieved by Minecraft.
