Spoilers: this game isn't good, much less "good enough."
I haven't played it so takes this with a grain of salt but I remember reading a while ago that Bethesda made the main story shorter because they took into account how many players don't really bother with the main quest in their games.
it will be limited to what MS allows for xbox. while they don't seem to be as paranoid as sony someone is gonna crowbar open their walled console garden, there's a reason developer mode doesn't let you play retail while active.
you're either a shill or retarded, otherwise your constant butthurt about cp2077 and nms while giving other games a pass is stupid or on purpose. take your pick.
there's elite dangerous if you haven't played it yet, so everything's new (devs suck tho and it's basically dead. also pseudo-mmo). NMS just had an update and currently running another expedition (basically event with it's own storyline). x: rebirth while being shunned by "real" x fans is also quite playable these days and probably the closest to freelancer in terms of scope. expect some jank tho.
I really hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass, but I highly doubt Bethesda or Microsoft are stupid enough to try and go paid mods only, that's cartoonishly evil company stuff. The fact the CK is going to take until next year to release is pretty shitty but Fallout 4's CK took 5 months to release, so hopefully it won't be nearly as long for Starfield.
I thought it was pretty short, but that might have been because of how the fast travel system works.
I feel like they could fix this and the whole 'players dont care about my story' thing Emil complains about by actually writing a compelling story for once, but I guess that's too hard. You don't see people doing this stuff with Morrowind's main quest, although that one does compel you to do side activities before starting it, but the actually story itself is good enough to keep you interested and playing instead of getting bored and going to do something else.
Oh, my sweet summer child. This isn't Bethesda's decision anymore, it's Micro$oft's. The accountants there see all the mods on the Nexus as competition for their
What games am I giving a pass, exactly? A minute ago I was said to hate everything, now I'm giving everything a pass? Which is it?
They just take HRT to grow their own titties instead. NV is carried by its content, but its a buggy mess still without mods. You can still encounter game breaking quest lockouts and softlocks without a mod patch. I don't really care about this argument, but as someone who likes New Vegas, people have some super weird view on New Vegas being much better than it actually is.
You're supposed to run through it like seven times to see all the galaxy variations you can encounter so it's short by shitty design.
Microsoft murdered Minecraft modding and shit just this year so I fully one hundred and ten percent expect them to do this in some form. Mods will be routed through Bethesda or need some form of authentication so they can kill anything they don't like and monetize what they do.
I still don't think Microsoft is going to look at the failure of Steams Paid Mods system, and then also look at the Paid Mods for fallout 4 and Skyrim and go "Yeah sure, lets lock all mods behind a paywall.". If we were talking about Sony or Nintendo here, sure I 100% agree, but I don't think Microsoft or Bethesda are going to do anything like that.
microsoft can't stop mods from happening, they have a better chance with MC since it's online, but you can easily host cracked shit in whatever way you want.
not bored or faggy enough to dig through your post history to win some internet slapfight, but it was some goyslop like cod or some EA shit. only reason I even remember because that was apparently ok while you can't stop getting your panties in a twist about NMS or cp2077 - and the latter only gets praised by retards that think an anime magically fixes a game, which makes conflating those two extra retarded. also nice hyperbole, reddit is this way --------------->
jokes on you, I never played NV, but keep projecting. I'm just calling out your sped behavior, which more people than me noticed.
"Not faggy" he says as he brings up some unimportant opinion I had that was horrible enough to offend but not horrible enough for him to remember while also pulling the "people have different opinions!" card while ALSO pulling the "I have no dog in this argument, I'm just arguing because I don't like your opinions and I have a chance to dogpile!"
The latter because there's no way MS is gonna pay their good boys for anything substantial. The ones that feel like they're entitled to royalties will just paywall their own mods. What'll be interesting is if MS comes down on anyone monetizing modded content. Maybe it's already happened/happening.
I don't know about that. Due to the mechanics and the disconnected nature of the game Starfield is a perfect framework for extensive user created content as each planet is a blank slate to be filled with stuff. I can see modders making whole planets up for their little setting instead of having to alter the universe at large
