1. it's more rdr2 than skyrim. Very immersive life sim style, although you can pick a more adventurous path if you wish
2. The Alien DNA trait you saw in trailers means you can merge your DNA with aliens to gain additional abilities e.g. increased health and oxygen.
3. It is similar to BG3 in the sense that you can have companions and befriend and romance them.
4. mining is actually kinda fun
5. RDR 2 like bounties
6. Yeah its very life sim style e.g. pay mortgage, consequences for breaking law. You can tell devs are just taking the piss with some of it, like paying for parents retirement.
8. NPCs are fun to talk to, you can have conversations with them
9. comfy game, especially in the resource management portion
10. You can explore entire planets
11. You can fly between planets (piloting the ship) and moons but it does the landing for you
12. Flight sim style space flight
13. Perk skill checks
14. gunplay is much improved
15. 8th gen i5 and a 6600xt on medium settings runs the game above 60 force

Can i have sex with alien bears?

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Can i have sex with alien bears?

yes, at 24 fps. So jaggy like your thrusting

 

[simpatico]

I still don’t understand the “entire planets” thing. What size are these planets? I mean the biggest gaming maps of all time aren’t even as big as a small state. Are we talking Mario Galaxy sized planets? Even if a planet was the size of AC Odyssey, the curvature of a planet that size would feel and look like Mario Galaxy

 

[Guilty_AI]

24 thrusts per second sounds pretty good

 

[zeldaring]

Impressions sounds really good and if thr combat is fun it would extremely rare for a open that does everything.

Procedural generation, and yes, we do have insanely big maps in games that can reach the size of celestial bodies.... with procedural generation.

Subscribed, bring me all the spoilers.

Skyrim + rdr2 combo got me hyped.

I guess that means randomized loot and NPC encounters. I hope they can make it interesting. The great thing about TES and Fallout was the crafted nature of the open world. Knowing you might stumble upon something special. Somehow I missed Bethesda talking about their procedural generation system. I think it would have to be pretty advanced for it to work like their older games do.

There's hand crafted things that will appear on every planet as you explore.

Planets are pretty big. I reckon you could fit every open world game, all the GTA's, AssCreed, TES, Fallout etc, easily inside of Texas. I doubt it would even take up 25% of Texas. Earth is what? 800x the size of Texas? I hope the rumors of "entire planets" being explorable are false. There's no way they could keep the quality high enough.

Well, shit, that sounds pretty great. Throw in some mods andots and lots of possibilities. Now to ignore this thread, lol.

I also really wish Bethesda included vehicles for planet exploration. ME Mako with better controls would be quite good for that.

2x too many rdr2 mentions…I’m out. Fuck all that real life sim BS. I play video games to escape real life.

That's what I'm saying, is there a planet like earth with all kinds of terrain, buildings, weather changes. It seems so far from what's been shown each planet has their own weather conditions not much varies within a single planet. To walk around a single planet would take years, not to mention 1000 planets.

If the majority of planets are empty and just resources to mine idk how I feel about that

I'm assuming it will be very similar to what NMS has in terms of size of planets and a single biome each.

They already confirmed only 100 of the 1,000 planets have "life". What counts as a planet having life though is anyone's guess. Does a planet with only creatures count? Does that mean 100 planets have cities? Or does 5 NPC's in an outpost count as that planet having life?

Life refers to wildlife, not people. If people were included then every planet (well maybe there are some that are too unsuited) would have life since mines, forts, etc with people can be procedurally added on any planet.

I highly doubt there are people on more than 100 planets. I don't see how they would not include human NPC's or even aliens in the term "life".

 

[Dutchy]

Very generic looking main menu. They even got the placeholder for ads. Did not expect that. Was hoping for something a bit more enchanting.

Not a big fan of the story details either. I know that humanity has settled in space for a while but I was hoping for all the extraterrestrial stuff to be a bit more end-game and with a more appropriate response instead of ''you gotta collect alien upgrades to become stronger''. Being the dragonborn in a confined space where magic was already established as a main driving force behind that world felt a lot more believable. There seem to be only very few games that do a good job of properly depicting the discovery of life outside earth.

Still gonna play the shit out of this tho

 

[Dunnas]

I highly doubt there are people on more than 100 planets. I don't see how they would not include human NPC's or even aliens in the term "life".

There are handcrafted elements such as mines, bandit hideouts, forts, etc. that are procedurally added to areas near where you land on a planet. This will mean that yes, you can come across people on planets where there is no native wildlife. and there should be far more than 100 planets where you can come across people as a result. That is not what they are counting though when they said about 100 planets with Life. That would be planets with native fauna and flora where you can discover all of them to complete missions and earn money.

I bet there is one other intelligent race that wants the artifacts
