I'm excited because of Starfield. It was still an enjoyable game to me.

If they can keep the combat and stories, but condense the world and add that sense of exploration from their older games, I would be happy.

Yup, they were specifically referring to the PC edition, which makes a lot more sense.

I did the exact same thing. Started Storm and went Bear. I just liked smashing things.

Maybe I misunderstood your point, but I think the original comment was saying they like buying physical, transferable copies of games (ie. disks) because of the points they mentioned. The Starfield physical copy is pointless because you're not getting a transferable copy, you'll just get a single use code (which is the same as buying digital). The only reason people would want the Starfield physical copy is to have an item on their shelf.

 

I just picked up Diablo IV and am having a really good time with it. The combat feel really good on a controller and the story is pretty engaging so far. Not sure how the end game is, but I'm looking forward to it.

Hopefully it will tide me over until Starfield.

I may be in the minority, but I actually really enjoyed playing Outriders with some friends. Excited to see what they come up with for Xbox.

xDefiant is an upcoming one that might scratch that itch.

Kind of the same for me. I really liked the prologue and the combat felt good, but I just felt bored by the world and characters. It felt like a bland open world game with the points of interest and collectables. And on top of that, the choice system didn't resonate with me.

Ya, I'd also like to see a 40fps mode. Really adds to the smoothness. Todd Howard suggested that they still had a decent amount of overhead, just not enough to hit 60 consistently. Would be nice if 40 became a new standard option, at least.

Ya, when switching between the modes, you can really feel the difference. Funnily enough, Jedi Survivor was one of the few games I actually preferred the 30fps mode. Even with VRR, the performance mode was just too inconsistent for me.

I would really like to see a balanced, 40fps mode on Starfield. If they can't consistently maintain the 60fps mode, at least offer some choice for people who want a higher framerate, even if there are other concessions (ie. inconsistent performance).

Loop Hero might be one to check out. The game has an auto-battle mechanic, and you basically just manage the map and the base.

Since Hi-Fi Rush nothing has really grabbed me. What has everyone else been playing? Any recommendations?

Ya, meant lemmy.ml.
