Blue72 1,102 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 2 hours ago, Iakona said: Aye that was down to the cartridges Nintendo used. When you take inflation into account, the price goldeneye released for in 1997 is the equivalent of £102 today. The games industry always seemed to avoid inflation, which has made the jump all that more jarring… But AAA games on the whole are far more expensive to produce thesedays. I don’t like Starfield, but even at 60 quid there’s clearly enough meat on those bones to justify the cost of entry. Agree - a game costs less than (probably half of ) a family of four cinema trip and meal out - given how many hours they tend to give, and ability to sell on and recoup some of the spend, they’re pretty good value on the whole I think!

Bit tedious but I haven’t half hounded it man. Need a break for a day or two for ma sanity I think. Had a 10 minute period in the game when I was just constantly in the menus or grav jumping, really annoyed me 🤣 Played it a lot the last 3 days and starting to get really into it, installed some quality of life mods though which has helped. Got rid of the spaceship landing/taking off animations, no more docking animations, shit like that. Improved stealth, enemy AI etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of gaming all things considered is incredible value. £30-40 for something like Football Manager can be hundreds of hours of value vs what you said, a couple cinema tickets for a 2 hour movie.

lidorfc 6,665 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 This game game gets so much better when you're 15-20 hours in. Also didn't know that you can just go and land at your destination rather than travelling to the star system, then the planet/moon, then the landing site. Makes travelling so much less tedious.

Jack Sparrow 109 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 12hrs played maybe 1-2hrs a day before I get a bit bored of it. Still level 9 and have been skirting about side missions trying to get the lie of the land on the first few planets and the interface. Only on the Into the Unknown mission on the main story, quite happily taking my time with it. Doesn't help I've got a belter of a FM team going with RC Lens giving PSG a run for their money!

Just looked at the 3 you need. Two outpost ones are no bother mate and you’d get in minutes instead of hours really. The guy Maka91 on YouTube does good guides on those I think. Getting level 100 I went to a planet called Schrödinger and farmed high XP enemies that don’t really attack you - that did take a wee while.

Rowley Birkin 8,689 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 ive not played it in ages as ive been pretty disappointed with it very repetitive and the graphics remind of games from the PS3 and xbox360 even the exploring, something i love in games, is boring they looked at no mans sky and thought 'ok lets do that' but they did it worse, bethesda has been getting it tight over the last couple of months and hopefully the one good thing that comes out of it is they ditch that engine for elder scroll 6 and use a third party one like unreal 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Naughty Dog get to make Last of Us if Microsoft were calling the shots. It would Uncharted 8. Iakona and Rowley Birkin 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have a significantly reduced number of planets that are more detailed than a tonne of baron ones. I feel I spend half the game just going between planets and spending very little time on them once I get there. lidorfc and Rowley Birkin 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much why I stopped playing it, with all the loading screens, baron planets etc, plus how safe and sanitized the story/dialogue is, it's pretty boring game.

CR3 12,689 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 its as good as you make it, but that might involve a lot of work from (you) the player. I just played it like fallout and had a great time but I've not went back since. Replayability isn't there right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
