Went into that thinking "Hey I love these conspiracy theory things. I hope it has flat earth stuff. So fun!" Came out going "Oh my God...."

I didn't need another reason for NOT buying internet of things stuff but thanks anyway!

This is just shit.  Those that caused this bullshit just leave to start this shit elsewhere.

Heh, couldn't have happened to a "nicer" city.

I don't know about you, but both staying true to the original content where possible along with those involved having a passion about the story is extremely important. 

Not having an insufferable bitch as your leading actress is always a plus as well. That Zugler whatever thing is so disgusting to me now, I can't even be bothered to listen in on her apology tour. I'm sure she's done a PR approved 180 and now loves the original though.

I can't claim credit for this, but a friend of mine used that AI song maker to produce... this:

And the woke that complained in the comments got their wish. Member perma banned and mod removed.

 

On the plus side, there's a better mod that wipes out just about everything woke which includes the mod they killed.

EDIT: Right no embeds. This is a mod that turns the butch Aasimar into a guy.

The comments are a riot. Of course nothing like this happened with the mod turning that gay vampire into a girl. (That I know of at least.)

Wait a second.... the idiots that made Skyrim and Oblivion crap thought Starfield was too crap?

That is some major big time irony getting lectured on "public order and morality" by a morally bankrupt corporation.

I'll consider.... "buying"  it about a year after release.

Yeah I don't think so.

Was talking about this earlier today elsewhere. I waited a long time to go Skyrim and a really long time to try FO4. I still followed the mods on both those games long before I ever considered playing.

Starfield? I haven't bothered to check and have no interest in doing so. Todd's failure is complete. I'm not ever playing this shipwreck.

This is random but I've noticed after some years away from the US when I run into present day American tourists...  I kind of have this initial reaction:

It might help if she was actually attractive. Geez, standards are dropping out there across the pond!

It's pathetic if the content that should've been in the original game to begin with is offer in a DLC. More of a reason why no one should ever buy a game until all the DLCs are released and when that grandiose edition is on sale. Nothing will change the fact that this game, like Fallout 4 is an absolute turd. And having to add what should've already existed is just pure laziness and predatory practices.

I'm just stunned that the guy kept saying melee in FO4 was -better-.

The best part of Starfield that I'm enjoying is how the face modelling is regressing. We're supposedly in 2023 with crap potato head faces! And there actually people defending this crap. (Likely paid like a couple modders I could name. AHEM.) Give The Todd a medal!

The commentary on the kids alone!

And it's true. The kids in Beth games all look like they have ancient heads on kid's bodies. Plus they never act like kids.

I'd like to include some.

 

• Facial expressions
• more white people

It's so obvious they are trying to gain some woke XP as their desperation shows. And those awful terrible face expressions aren't helping those ugly faces.

Yeah the Representation Agenda™ was way overboard. Like in most stuff now. Although on the funny side, since they are so hideously ugly it's kind of going so far over it's almost based. Are they really saying non-europeans are troll-like with those face models??

Reda the thread and watched a few of the videos.  NONE OF THIS surprises me, other than it looking worse than I anticipated.

I was expecting:

• Hideous faces, especially for women. (Can't have attractive women these days. All women must be ugly and probably fat.)
• Garbage character animations.
• Pathetic combat.
• A main plot that was so infantile I'd ignore it from the start.
• And of course bugs galore and broken side quests, etc etc. As per usual.

I wasn't exactly expecting everything else to be so atrociously ugly. I figured they'd at least make some interesting alien terrains. Especially given they could just copy the look of stuff No Man's Sky already came up with. Instead we get a weird FO4 type feel with washed out colors and plain butt ugly landscapes. Oh joy, let me run around in a barren wasteland of ugly. I'm not a big fan of NMS, but just seeing the boring crap planets in this... makes me actually want to go back and play NMS. At least you could get some color there!

As such, got to give The Todd props! He managed to surprise me... by it being even worse than I expected.

And I said I'd wait a year!?

So let's just go over a minor list here of what's needed....

• Face/NPC makeovers.
• Body replacers.
• Clothing/Armor replacers.
• Animation replacers.
• Ship replacers.
• AI replacers.
• A non-washed out non-freaking-ugly-as-hell color palette replacer.

I'm going with the HELL NO option I think. This game isn't even worth a .

I'll consider.... "buying"  it about a year after release. Provided the modding community is strong. I think it might take what's left of FO4 (and it's not much) as the setting is a little better. Seemingly. I mean, it's Bethsoft so we can expect if it's possible to screw up, they'll manage. I fully expect horrifying bugs, an infantile to actually insulting "plot", and probably terrible gameplay. All of which will need fixing with ... STSE?

Well, walking trashcans do not complain when leftist prosecuters let criminals go after the work of arresting them.

They also don't complain when you have them shoot mom for complaining about insane school curriculum. It's a win-win all around. For them.

Do you think these sons of bitches will provide me with DRM free copies of my games, or perhaps a refund at least?

I love this part: "Computers running these operating systems, when connected to the internet, are susceptible to new malware and other exploits..."

Yeah, just like the new ones then.

And yeah a refund should absolutely be the first thing they offer. But oh no, you can't have a refund for something you paid for that we are arbitrarily saying you can't play now.

Jokes write themselves.

THE COMMENTS. I'm dying here.

Some quickie highlights:

"I wanted to get the shirt in "fit type" refrigerator but was only able to choose between "men and women". I chose the fit type "women" even though I identify as a refrigerator with occasional stainless steel microwave tendencies."

"I did not find my size in Apache Helicopter."

"This shirt is stunning and brave."

Fuck Steam. I really should find some cracked executables for my games and ditch this shit.

I just want to congratulate you for not playing with the idiot system and going your own way on this garbage. I still remember when you bought a game, you BOUGHT a game. None of this launcher nonsense that sucks up resources and forces you to be online to even play an offline game.

Though I'm not aware of any cases with games, I have had books and a couple movies I "bought" disappear because the tech overlords thought we shouldn't have them anymore. (I have copies still of course.)

As for the , it is a return to simpler times. Case in point: I own a game called Surviving the Aftermath. (Middling game. Don't recommend it unless you're extremely into post apocalypse.) The caveat: it's on Epic. (And no I didn't buy it on Epic, one of those buy this, get that free deals. ) I recently moved hard drives and just did not feel like installing that crap just for one game I don't play much. Went , works great! No launcher. No Epic. No hassle. To top it off, the  has a great support forum that doesn't require a support ticket the devs won't ever answer.

When the thieves  erm.. socioeconomically disadvantaged () offer a better experience, there is something very very wrong with the industry. We really don't buy games anymore we pay for the privilege of playing them. Until you say something naughty, have an original thought, or they just decide you can't play it anymore. What a world.

Two weeks is highly optimistic, two years or more is more likely and you'll have to rely on other people's efforts for script enhancers, bug/crash fixes etc. Not to mention some of the bugs will never be fixed even after many Legendary/Special/Anniversary editions and many iterations of script enhancers and plugins (e.g. the Bound Sword crash), which clearly proves that the retarded meme of an argument "mods will fix it" isn't always the case.

You're absolutely right. Thinking back, getting Skyrim AE fully operational was more like a month. And that's with a very mature modding community that took years to develop everything. Even if I wait a year before "buying" Starfield, there won't be enough mods fixing everything yet.

If history proves correct, there will likely be little if any discount a year later.

I think companies have caught on that people will wait a year to get the game (fixed bugs, added DLCs and other such things will be present) and they don't lower the prices.

Well, I meant ... "discount".

Although I never did pay for Skyrim either. Got that as a freebie along with some CC years after the fact. The more I think about what would be needed for me to even play another Beth game though... I'm more aligned with Bjornk up there. We know the plot is crap, they will do the laziest sort of "quests" and there will be bugs galore. Do I really want to spend 2 weeks getting the game into a workable state via mods? Probably not.
