Don't sleep on duct tape. It's one of humanity's greatest achievements.

Well sure. But space pirate guy must not be very good at his job if he has to duct tape his helmet. He also applied it like a six year old.

How can I take this guy as a threat?

 

[kyussman]

Thank god they have gone back to a silent protag......the voiced one in Fallout 4 ruined that games dialogue system.....I say system,there wasn't one really.

 

[STARSBarry]

I heard the entire script for the deceiver dialog tree is written by Todd himself and is 16x the length of the lies told in Fallout 76.

 

[SlimySnake]

"On par with HFW". I love GAF.

You missed me saying probably twice. You have a reading comprehension of a 6 year old.

The helmet remind me of army of two brand.

I would argue that piranha byte games do 90% of what betheda games do except leaving forks in dungeons to return after 100 hours just to say that the fork is still there.
Bethesda games are a bit more physics based.



I'm sorry?

The detail on the helmet is very impressive. Horizon has better faces but the tesselation here that helps the duct tape stand out is not something you typically see in last gen video games.

 

[Roman Empire]

That guy is using Destiny's one-eyed-mask.

But it looks badass and not silly

 

[adamsapple]

Sounds like a menu option but with extra steps.

Yeah, the last thing I want is a QTE to make a successful co-op match lol

All that futuristic technology and dude's got a sloppy duct tape job all over his helmet?

C'mon son.

I mean folks use duct tape to hold together airplanes and even parts of space ships

It's the most futuristic-handy thing we have lol

 

[Greirat]

So how does this persuasion system work? Todd says you spend points, but I don't see any point spending happening in the video.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Lol

Theres literally nothing from that starfield gameplay demo that looked anymore "dynamic" or alive than HFW. Stop the cap

You never played a bgs games? The are literally the definition of a dynamic playground. They have more interacting systems than most games in the industry. That's what I mean when I say dynamic.

You spend points before getting into conversation.

They are not showing available attributes cause obviously it must be work in progress.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Game looks phenomenal. This is gonna be special. Can't wait.

 

[ungalo]

Love the chara-design, and basically every choices they made with the dialogue system. The traits seem really fun and the fact you can actually resolve them in your playthrough can be an indicator of how much they went roleplay with the game.

 

[reksveks]

Do like that second bit, I wonder/hope there will be traits that start as an advantage and ends up as a disadvantage as the main quest continues.

People can talk as much shit about the Creation Engine as they want to, I don't see anybody else doing what Bethesda does.

Honestly I thought it was great as long as you stuck to swords, thought the other weapon types just lacked the finesse and options, Mace's especially felt like easy mode.

 

[RoadHazard]

I think there are oodles of detail on the character in that screen shot, definitely not last gen looking to me.

In either case, plenty of peeps here like playing screen shots and not games so there will always be the detractors who deep down probably just hate themselves.

When you say last gen, do you mean last gen (PS4) or last last gen (PS3)? Because that screenshot looks 100% like a PS4 game, and not a terribly impressive one. Many games from that generation have better looking character models.

If we could get a game like Kingdom Come with Tsushima battle system (replace katanas with swords and shields) it would be the greatest game ever.

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

Last gen there wasn't a WRPG with a better story then the fallout games. Imo they have the best stories for any RPG. I dont see that changing this gen either.

This is some small brain shit. Really not a SINGLE WRPG better writing than Fallout? Witcher? Torment: Tides of Numenerra? Pathfinder Kingmaker? Pathfinder Wrath? Divinity Original Sin and its sequel?

You are either a troll or lived with your head in the sand.

what do you mean "maybe" morrowind. that game's scope and sense of freedom was absolutely in a league of it's own.

you are right that they started dumbing things down around oblivion when they started making console ports a priority, but there is still nobody else making these kind of games at this scale. i think this may very well be Todd's swansong as a game director. i expect to have my mind (and my cooch) blown but i'm also expecting a lot of jank.

As in it can be argued that Oblivion/Fallout 3 could have been the last ones that pushed anything conceptually. Personally, I think the last top tier game from them was Morrowind, but I can see the arguments made for the other two titles.

Or have people not played it?

I adore that game, but it does stuff *very* differently from what Bethesda does. Really not comparable other than being open world RPGs at a very basic level.

Kingdom Come is a meticulously designed RPG-Sim about a time in history. No magic, no sorcery, no big bad villains - just shades of gray and the rugged/regressive nature of that time. Absolutely brilliant and a must play for anyone. But not a Bethesda style game.

The only small brain troll with there head in the sand is somone who accuses somone of these things just because they have a different opinion.

It is a meme, mate. But please do get triggered over a very commonly used meme! The tears of platform warriors like yourself just sustain me XD

If its just a meme why call me a platform warrior? cope.

Seriously dont start shit just because someones opinion upsets you.

Looks like Todd is having a hard time not looking at Jess' boobs..

Because you are a platform warrior? Why wouldn't I call a spade a spade? One who is clearly very angry and bitter at that. Keep projecting though. Again, the infantile rage of you warriors gives me life and endless amount of comedy.

 

[adamsapple]

I'm gonna be honest, Kingdom Come was not a good game or fun to play at all lol

So im a platform warrior because i like fallouts stories?

Now thats some small brain shit.

I didn't make it very far in but how does the engine handle object persistence?

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

Hardly. You are a platform warrior because all you do is cry about other platforms besides PC/Xbox. Of course, you know this, so I am not sure who you are trying to fool with the pathetic attempt at dismissing the obvious. Maybe yourself? Clearly isn't the community as everyone is more than familiar with your shtick.

 

[Kvally]

I do wonder when this releases, 1st half of 2023 was purposefully vague. I can see this hitting in the summer. Or, if microsoft wants to space out their releases for next year, forza in march or april, redfall in june-august, starfield in november.

Typically in the US, first half of a year is January to June. That is when they are releasing Starfield. In fact, they are showing that between now and June they are releasing Minecraft Legends, Forza Motorsport 8, Starfield and Redfall. Great time to be a gamer, that is for sure.

 

[amigastar]

In anticipation of Starfield i'm giving The Outer Worlds another try on Game Pass. The Metacritic score is pretty good, what you guys think of the game? Is it worth it?

Absolute trash game with trash writing, level design, and characters. Easily the worst thing Obsidian has ever made.

Honestly I would suggest you play Grounded instead. So much better.

I really tried to enjoy The Outer Worlds multiple times. Just can't get into it. Game's no fun for me.

 

[Goon_Bong]

When you say last gen, do you mean last gen (PS4) or last last gen (PS3)? Because that screenshot looks 100% like a PS4 game, and not a terribly impressive one. Many games from that generation have better looking character models.

I'm saying that it looks perfectly satisfactory for a current gen game given its scale. Feel free to post some up-close screen shots of characters on any PS4 titles that you think have that level of texture detail at that scale so we can compare.

 

[Negotiator101]

The biggest game of next year without question.

 

[SportsFan581]

Or, maybe there's a possibility that some users like the Fallout series better than the games you mention. I know, it's a earth shattering position to take, but sometimes people just like/gravitate towards different things. @ Sosokrates did specify the position as "IMO", and wasn't exactly declaring that the rest of the world felt the same. The Fallout series sells with as many iterations that there have been, a sign that some gamers like it to say the least.

Yes it is, it wasn't a big triple A game, for a game with limited funds and team it is really worth it imo, if you like Bethesda's games of 10 years ago, especially New Vegas for characters and dialogue, and don't expect the game to be as big as they are, but want a game similar, then play the Outer Worlds, it's not like there has been any other games made like them in the last decade. i really enjoyed it.

I'm about 1 hour in and i really dig it.

If you don't expect New Vegas 2, like a lot of people did and you like these type of games, then you will, i really did, have fun.

 

[MarkMe2525]

What did he mean that if you run out of fuel it will limit how far you can travel in one instance? How does that work if you can still propel the ship?

Probably means you drop out of "hyperdrive". It took over 540 days for voyager to reach Jupiter while it was traveling at 1000's of mph. There is no practical way to travel in space in a timely manner unless you have some sci-fi propulsion system.

Graphical detail looks insane. Guns and pressurized space suites, what could possibly go wrong for these space explorers.

Modern guns actually wouldn't work very well in vacuum at all beyond a few shots. The lack of air to radiate heat would lead to failure much faster than in an atmosphere. I also don't know how well lubricant would last in such an environment. You also have vacuum welding where in the absence of oxygen there is no microscopic layer of oxidization in metals, and metal without that can literally stick itself together on an atomic level.

I've been building a relatively hard sci-fi campaign setting for table top for a few years, and there's a shit ton of stuff like this I've had to research.
