Digipicks? I don't literally destroy them lol, sorry. I just enjoy the tough ones now. It's a fun little puzzle diversion.

Simpler look, the red shoulder pads remind me of the N7 suits from Mass Effect.

Still haven't played Diablo IV, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, TotK, Balder's Gate 3, Sea of Stars, Forza Motorsport, Alan Wake II, Avatar, Spider-Man 2, Cocoon, Super Mario Bros Wonder, or Phantom Liberty yet though, so lot's can change.
What a fucking year lol.

You have no idea how long my gamefly bookmark folder is already, not resubbing until done with this game but once I start ordering those, I have shit to last me till summer '24.

Great OT and game of the decade for me, just like Fallout 4 (to a lesser extent nonetheless), Skyrim, and Oblivion before it.
The more I play Starfield the more all the initial criticisms fade away. I can't wait to delve deeper and am looking forward to discovering little secrets even ten years from now.

That's a good way of putting it. The meat of this game is like Bethesda's take on Mass Effect, but with all the extra sides of ship building, base building, skill customization, space combat, and much, much more. This game is godly. A dream come true.
This is where I ended up, too. 3rd person is awesome for wandering around, especially in places like Neon. Then you can switch to 1st person for combat. I've settled on 3rd person for space combat.

Beat the story last night. It's a solid story overall but I had a very good idea of the direction it was going from the very beginning, believe it or not, thanks to a secret in the very first part of the game: there's a breakable wall to a small cave and tucked in the corner is a certain object...
Started up NG+ but I think I'm going to skip the main story this time... there's only one main quest that I thought was exceptional, in all honesty (Entangled). But I'll lose out on all that quest XP... decisions, decisions...

The ship I got from finishing the Freestar ranger questline is an absolute beast, absolutely stuffed with modules I can’t buy or upgrade on their own because there’re too high level in the ship upgrade perk...although I did stuff 2 extra engines in for some extra oomf.
It’s nice to see a bit of skip ahead if you don’t go all in right away on the perks.

Omg
I’m having my first feeling of wanting to start over with a different build. I’m already 40 hours into my current build.

I think around 40 hours? I'll double check when I get home.
Edit: Yep, I was right on the money. But my save file's time doesn't account for reloads so in actuality it's a bit longer.
Nah, I was playing normally for the first 30+ hours or so but at a certain point in the story, I decided to stuck with the MSQ because I wanted to know what happened next. I also made the effort to collect all of the powers, which took a few hours as well.

Yeah, stay away from that thread. It's a bunch of people pretending to be disappointed in a game they haven't played and never intended to play in the first place.

Let's not talk about that thread here. It can be talked about there if you guys want.

Hogwarts Legacy would be one major release…It was super early in the year though so it’s easy to unconsciously think of it as a release from last year.
I’d place Starfield at the top of my list too though. I’ve basically lived in it over the weekend, and I’m not even close to finishing. I can’t say that about any other game this year, even Diablo 4 it was kinda grind 40 hours get burnt out, then just play a few times a week. This after 40 hours I just want to dive back in any time I’m away from it.

LMAO we'll be lucky to get Fallout 5 by then. Starfield 2 maybe around 2045.

Great list! Here is mine no one asked for:
1. BG3
2. Zelda: TotK
3. Dave the Diver
The rest didn't make the cut. Potential top 5 candidates:
MK1
Mario RPG
Mario Wonder
Sea of Stars
Overall I love this year.

Even though I did a side quest here and there, I mostly stuck to the main story, but now I have to go to a lvl40 star system so I think it’s time for me do something else for a while. Thinking about Crimson Fleet infiltration quest line - it sounds fun.
Also, did anyone meet a lonely woman who’s ripping off pages from Pride and Prejudice to learn making origami? That was cute and funny encounter.

I'm just mad that the thread title isn't "No Man's Skyrim".
Anyway, excited to try this out tomorrow! Does anyone know when it unlocks for Game Pass?

Thats what i love about Bethesda rpg's, you can do what you want in what order you want. I always leave the main questline to the end, if i even end up doing it at all as Bethesda rpg's to me are all about the side content.

I should’ve clarified the list was what I enjoyed haha. I only pointed out ff16 and Jedi because I planned to return to them but I left them in the dust — same with Hogwarts. Hogwarts I don’t plan to go back to. The pacing in that game was abysmal . Same issue as FF16 actually but at least 16 had some really high points and engaging story that I would be willing to try again.
I don’t have it in me to continue Hogwarts. Even outside of pacing the overall side quests are just so dull and repetitive that they may as well not exist. After my 30th flying page pulled in I was over collecting them.

I didn’t expect starfield to the best game of this year for me, but quite high. Achieving GOTY to me when the first 10 hours I planned to drop it is a testament to that old argument about game design in regards to “I shouldn’t have to play X hours for a game to get good. It should be good from the jump.”
This game to me is the ultimate testament to the more time you put in the better and better it gets.

I think so, but I think I'm one of like 3 people on here who played it. Fantastic game. It's been on sale at many retailers for $30 already if you're interested. It's like Brothers + El Shaddai / Okami art style + a few sprinkles of Zelda and Platinum Games.

I'll be surprised if this time tomorrow reviews are higher than 'mixed'. Games that are very demanding to run always get a ton of negative reviews on Steam. Plus Sony fanboys from Reddit are supposedly going to review bomb the game, and they probably will after seeing what mess they made of the Steam forums.
The score will stabalize over time though, and a year from now i'd ecpect it to be 'positive' or 'very positve', especially as the mods will be flowing by then.
