More Femprimarchs

I wonder if 40k would've been really weird if the primarchs were female but sms were male. It feels like you can find a ton of cool father-son or mother-daughter or father-daughter character dynamics but mother&son ones are usually dark psychosexual weird things for serial killers or something.

Critics are mostly positive on Starfield, but not unanimous: From 10/10s to 'cold, lifeless, and uninspired'

Yes, but where that inch takes you is important. Even if Morrowind, Skyrim, Oblivion and NV etc were super shallow, their worlds only fell apart under scrutiny. Fo4 is immediately nonsensical and these reviews look like they place it in the same ballpark.

I do worry even that vague standard of quality is just vanishing and being filled in with "cool moments" and shoddy systems meant to provide "content" when people were already willing to play your games for a while just off of the work already being done by Beth.

Starfield, is it getting review bombed?

Reply in thread

My thoughts exactly. Whatever issues were in Morrowind, Oblivion, New Vegas, Skyrim etc there was still a uniquely engaging game there.

I've been poking around and their lead concept artist died before he got to work on Fo4, and the two main writer producer guys Emil & Pete(?) have basically admitted on game dev talks that they're no longer trying to tell a coherent story or create a world anymore, just keep a player playing. Maybe this is why?

What are your skyrim confessions?

Serana is a constant so it's nice to play a melee build while she runs around zapping people and reviving chickens. The storyline can be a bit silly the first time around but i really appreciate the gothic flair of everything and fighting vampire guys

After 27,000+ Steam reviews, Overwatch 2 is graded as 'Overwhelmingly Negative'

I'm still playing decades old games with years and years of free content because they have community server support, a modding community working on new stuff for the game they love. Like I would be with wc3 if they didn't kill it.

they give people like you some bullshit maps or a playable guy in-between thousands of dollars worth of microtransactions and you let them walk all over you, take your game away after a couple years. You're the reason that old business model of just releasing shit isn't profitable. Even if you're not the sad sack buying shit you're the grease keeping the machine going. Fuck what you've done to our hobby man.
