But manual space travel would be even slower and honestly I think it would get old very quickly. I do understand the frustration, and if you were expecting it to work like NMS or Elite then yeah it’s going to be disappointing. But for me, that’s not the point of the game. I’ve had a ton of fun exploring randomly around, just jumping system to system and checking out random planets. The only part of space flight I’m actually that bothered about doing ‘realistically’ is ship to ship combat, and that works great, especially once you unlock the thrusters. If you manage to take out their engines by focusing fire you can disable them and board the ship, and take it as your own. Also the sidequests are great, I think the writing has improved from previous games. They often go in unexpected directions.

I’ve enjoyed seeing the initial backlash fade and turn around. I’m seeing a lot of posts on the subreddit saying stuff like “I initially made a bug complaint post but now I’m a few hours in and I was wrong, this game is amazing”

If you’re not enjoying the first few hours I implore you to stick with it a little longer.

From the article it looks like that was an issue with ZeniMax Online Studios

Fallout76 was a bad game. Not really evil though. And I heard it got much better, admittedly long after launch. I really enjoyed Fallout 4 but I get that I was in the minority there. Either way, I don’t think a company should be totally panned just because they made the main character voiced instead of silent. Re-releasing Skyrim got old, but you don’t have to buy it, lol. I don’t know what you mean about their launcher. Was it bad? You could always start the games from the exe as well. You’ll be happy to know there’s no launcher for Starfield anyway.

I think they’ve made something amazing with Starfield, although it starts quite slowly.

Pirate the game if you want, no judgement from me, but don’t justify it by pretending its some moral good.

Oh why not, it’s a really good game. Did Beth do something evil or something?

It’s not that buggy. I’ve had maybe half a dozen minor visual bugs at most in all the time I’ve played

Fair enough. I’m the kind of madlad that really enjoyed Fallout 4, although not as much as previous titles. I’d say this one beats FO4.

Why is this downvoted? Just cos it’s an ad or should I not take this deal?

Yeah it’s quite dangerous, there is moderate risk of mild injury and very mild risk of serious injury. But everyone participating knows that.

They didn’t say “and that is wrong”. But I think that’s because it’s obvious. There were a few raised eyebrows or a change to the tone of voice, so it was certainly implied.

Like if there was a documentary on the slave they might not actually say, “and this was a bad thing”, bevause obviously it was a horribly bad thing.
