OK, so I think that I have made some good headway into Starfield now and have a few thoughts on things: 1) the levelling system - broadly similar to things like Skyrim or Fallout but with a bit of a twist. You have general these of upgrade sections such as combat, ship building, and so on and you get an upgrade point for each level that you progress to. However, there is a bit of a twist in that you cannot go to some skills as they are not only level locked but also locked behind the number of points spent in previous tiers. And then there are the uses requirement for upgrading a skill such as to upgrade lock picking you need to successfully pick x amount of locks, or for pistols you need to kill x amount using pistols and so on, shouldn't be an issue if those are skill that you use often but it does focus specific routes somewhat, not quire so easy to make a jack of all trades build. 2) Ship building and upgrading is something that I still need to try and do more of, still trying to get my head around how to get all that set up and who to go to and where. 3) had a couple of quest bugs, one that was fixed with a quick restart but another that is stuck on killing all of an invading set of spacers, yet the last one(s) cannot be found. So far, still enjoying things, but there are a lot of things to keep in mind and work on whilst doing a lot of other things.
I started again at the weekend andi am really enjoying it. Although the amount of quests I currently have is overwhelming. But I've been doing a random side quest and blown away how fun it's been for a side quest. The ship stuff is fun. I've gone for a few ship builds, I don't go around with the human companions I just take the robot as he can carry so much more. I don't like the base building side feels like an afterthought and the car you get feels like the mass effect car and I feel it doesn't help when every 5m there is a big rock in the way.
Bought this during a Steam sale. Look forward to playing it. This is a game I'm definitely going to pick up, it's just a matter of how long I'm going to wait for price drops. If you keep saying positive things, that'll accelerate the process!
Returnal Picked up for 60% off in a Steam sale as it looked like the gameplay of Mass Effect Andromeda, which is a good thing in my book. Turns out it's much more of a bullet hell shooter (which to be fair, is as described on the store page). Basic premise is that you've crash landed on an odd planet in your little one man (or rather, woman) scout ship, and if you die, something returns you to life but back at the beginning, losing all your stuff. It's not grabbing me. Pretty enough, but the gameplay is punishing and although I've not played the particular genre as it doesn't appeal to me, I believe it's what's referred to as a "Souls like" game. I made it to the first boss, but messed up a few seconds from landing the killing blow and now can't get back anywhere near where I was, mainly because I used up an artifact that allows you to instantly revive from one death that I'll never get back. I wondered about getting a refund but have played it for more than two hours: it's not a bad game, it's just one that I wouldn't have bought if I'd known what I was getting in to. Which is my own damned fault as I think it has a free demo you can try. but I charged straight in regardless. Going to park it for now and try something else.
Had a good laugh yesterday... Winter noooo! I go by Winter in Arma 3 circles and yes that was me getting boop'd by a truck right at ENDEX Anyone looking for good Arma 3 shenanigans with an amazing, likely the largest LGBT unit on this planet, chuck me a private message
Been prepping for the Midnight launch on wow. Got slight mixed feelings as I've always been an Alliance player since beta and I've only ever played horde when my old man was around and we did a fun farther son blood elf bit, mainly a way for us to chat not so much play, and we spent hours in Sliver moon. When my dad past I never logged back in as I wanted the last place that character was to be next to my old man's toon. And it hit me this week that I'll be going to silver moon for the 1st time since he past as it's now the hub for the next expansion and it's made me have feelings I never thought a game would give me it's random I no. But I'm both anxious and excited to see Silver moon again.. am I odd.. ** Rather than a new post it looks like a re release of ffvii on steam the OG one has come out today, not sure what's new yet but it's free if you have the old one. The 2013 steam one and now a 2026 one soooo that means only one thing I get to play my favourite game again ! See what's made them re release it
