yup. I am really excited for this game, but I'll be giving it a few months at least. It's not just 76, FO4 was... fine. Still replay it. But if starfield has to much in common with that gameplay loop I'll probably skip it.

I don't have a lot of patience for AAA releases with a repetitive loop and nothing but better polish to distinguish them from all of the innovative indie games that are out these days.

That sounds like an overly negative take, and it kind of is, but I am definitely rooting for this thing.

I think it's a reasonable take. Skyrim was the last good game they put out, but I even preferred Oblivion to Skyrim - it captured my imagination more and there was more depth to the role playing - so I think it's a fair view to be cautious.

I'm hoping it's great, but with the size and scale of the procedurally generated content I'm kind of expecting it to be mostly soulless cookie cutter shooty shooty content with four times the detail but little actual role playing. It's Bethesda so we know it's going to be buggy, that's nothing new.

Very much hoping to be blown away though.

Setting down the reasonable take: it does look realllllllly good. Meant what I said I'm rooting for it. I've just been hurt before lol.

They've been saying all the right words, it'll come down to feel. Bugs don't, well, bug me, when there's soul. And I shouldn't be overly negative on FO4, there's some excellent characters there. Nick Valentine in particular will always be a favorite, and while the main plot could be a bit better there's a lot of heartfelt content along the way and in the side missions.

I do think this is the lesson a lot of AAAs are learning the hard way though. When you do what blizz did to overwatch, what bethesda did with 76, the damage is lasting. I would have been a day 0 person for starfield if not for that. Hell, I still haven't gotten around to cyber punk, even though it seems pretty OK now.

Don't let me down Todd.
