Writes a lot, says very little
Agreed, I was just about to say, they themselves don't even call that shit an RPG
they want it to be some action game, then so be it.

It’s a mainline Final Fantasy. There is no scenario where there would be no hype. You not liking what you’re seeing don’t change anything, it’s no different than people stepping in here not seeing what people are excited about for Starfield.
Personally I wish FF was still turn-based, I don’t think any realtime FF has played as well as the older ones, but I 100% understand the hype and I’m still excited to experience it because it’s a mainline FF and I know it’ll be amazing in other ways than just the combat. Same as with Starfield and the talk earlier about how the combat looks bad. It’s a big budget proper RPG. It’ll be awesome.

I hadn't thought of that but that would be sick, even if it's totally baron and just had useless easter eggs to pick up. Would be a cool moment similar to Shadow Moses in MGS4.

This is what I’ve been saying from the jump, I bet it’ll be modded at least - every Bethesda game on each planet - maybe other ones too

I love the game but yeah the role-playing is limited. Goes for The Witcher as well. Bethesda’s games are on a whole other level regarding role-playing, but as said there is usually more jank instead. In my opinion it’s no problem, I can play action games if I want refined action.

Its hyped because its a ps5 exclusive. Probably as its a return to medieval setting too in fairness. But yea I cant see anything beating out TOTK. Maybe Starfield if it isn't a complete mess and isn't just "skyrim in space".

I don't need anything more than Skyrim in space

I wouldn’t be surprised if FF and Zelda dates were delayed if June is announced for Starfield.

That's exactly reason to not be excited about it.
When was last truly good mainline FF game released? On PS2?

Well, for me it’s simple, it’s a new game in a long going huge game serie.
Halo Infinite was hyped too, when was the last truly good Halo game released? On Xbox 360?
(I loved Halo 4 though but don’t mind me I’m no hardcore Halo fan)

Infinite itself was good.

Me neither. I love skyrim. But I imagine that would be a complaint about the game.

I will be that guy and say that Halo was never really great and only reason why Halo is in any way relevant now is because it was first mainstream multiplayer console game.
Xbox360 is also whole generation (and really long one) later.

Folks, it's going to be a better (hopefully) Fallout 4 in Space and not Skyrim.
Doubt we will see any fantasy elements or anything alike, but should hopefully have vehicle to control, space pirates to gun down and maybe have some psychic powers ala Mass Effect (probably not).
I am sure there will be mutants, weird creatures and so on, but folks need to expect Sci-Fi not Fantasy here.
Edit: Last great FF was XIV if you are into MMOs and XII if you aren't. And even then, XII had some issues.

A huge empty game is the definition of Fallout lol

Wrong thread, but I gave it 16 hours until I dropped out, the action itself was solid but I thought it was too samey. I had more fun playing through Halo 5, I liked the variety in environments, was tighter storywise too. I’m just a solo player though, maybe multiplayer was more fun.

I don't know how reliable Tim is but I'm all open arms about finding out when a dedicated Starfield showcase will be.

Does Bethesda make announcements on Wednesday or something? I've seen today being thrown around on forums for an announcement.
Calverz

It was. Its now just BOTW but in nuts n'bolts universe.

He is an xbox warrior BUT, he does have some limited connections to xbox people. Like very limited. So may get some announcement soon. But generally he can be ignored.

Xbox and Bethesda are random when it comes to announcing stuff

Fair point.
It lacked diversity.
It's action carried it. Still, if you play FPS single player titles, I would still say it's a must play on action alone.
It's much different situation from FF situation really.
If Infinite wasn't good, it would just die quietly, nobody would talk about it.

Yeah but consumers shouldnt

Have this worry also.
But in the last gameplay vid, it was described you can explore 100s of planets.... now if each of these planets has a Skyrim level of detail world, then im 100% sold...... but its a big ask.
I really hope these arent random generated worlds.

For that many I can't see how the majority of worlds wouldn't have been procedurally generated, at least at the start. Makes me wonder if the Fallout meets No Man's Sky memes aren't going to be somewhat true.

I dont know how big Bethesda is but is it a possibility that each planet is hand crafted? Given the fact the game has been worked on for the last 6+ years?
I'm not talking multiple cities on each planet, i would think 1-2 big cities, 5-10 smaller towns and bits inbetween and a lot of open world, if that's replicated 100+ times, i think id be happy.
