  • I waited until it dipped below $50 recently to pick it up. I knew it was not being reviewed well and a couple of my friends were happy with it.

    It is a pretty game, but it is not a good game by any reasonable measurement. The story does not pull you in. The main characters are not engaging. The big city you visit feels like its full of paper dolls wearing one of 5 sets of clothing moving around in ways that makes zero sense.

    What really drove me crazy was that they pair you up with a bot that walks around with you but it gets in the way all the time. Its walking on top of you most of the time.

    The biggest beef I have is that I have played all of the Bethesda games since Morrowind, I even beat that game. I don’t care that Oblivion is silly and full of dumb. Its one of my favorite games because of the story development and the characters and the expansive world that is full of life. The people moving in the towns feel like they are going somewhere. The towns feel like they are put together with meaning. Skyrim is a high water mark in video gaming. We don’t even need to get into that.

    Starfield falls flat many times. The enemy AI is stupid as anything I have ever experienced.

    Its not a BAD game, its just not a good game. The graphics arn’t even very special.







  • I looked at Reddit for the first time in a long while yesterday. I had trimmed my subscribed subs to just essential, this is the only place on the web with this community like things.

    So I look at my front page and I am still subscribed to more then 20 subreddits. But what is my #3 link but a 0 score off topic post. WTF reddit? Why is that even being promoted by your algorithm? I laughed at it and showed my wife and then closed the site without even looking at anything else.

    what a shitty web site
