Unless they come up with super interesting stories with adult themes, I don't really care what it's rated. I'm not even sure what those ratings mean. Nudity and shooting pirates doesn't do anything for me. I'd like adult writing/subjects like in a Quinten Tarantino movie or something like No Country for Old Men. That's when things get really interesting. But I'm not sure Bethesda has that in them.Starfield shows a lot of promise, so I just cross my fingers that they manage to incorporate everything they showed in the presentation into the game world in a polished and creative way. I hope the main story will be interesting, the exploration unique feeling, the lore interesting and that they'll scatter secrets that you'll be able to find on your voyages. This is one of the things I really loved about Morrowind, in which you could find a really good item hidden in some cave and it was not always obvious where it was hidden. Maybe you could find a really dumb/fun weapon, like one that has a 100% chance to jam because it is called "The Pacifist".
Most importantly: I really, really, really with bloody sugar on top hope they make the game for ADULTS!. I'm so incredibly fed up with games that have the 18+ mark and is basically teen game. I understand that the age rating is not always correct, but I feel that the newer Bethesda games with the 18+ marking have been kind of lackluster in that department, with Fallout 4 as an example. I just want to have an adult game without it being basically Hentai porn on Steam. Ok, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - There you have an adult game that IS actually for adults, but they are few and far between and I'm not saying it has to be Manhunt or Postal for being adult, just....BE more adult.
Ok, that turned into a little rant
No need to choose. You'd get even more dev time waiting in the various lines and load/unload spots, which make up a big chunk of a trucker's life.
Yeah. Only remotely possible in a tightly controlled game like a Visual Novel with minimal interaction. Once you give the player agency, narrative control decreases rapidly and with it most chances of the nuance required for interesting adult themes.
You need to play Far Cry 2!The 'sameness' of loot always bugs me, no diff if you trip over it on the beach, or spend 10 minutes exploring a hidden cave—spoiler, it's behind the waterfall—or climbing a craggy mountain. Would love to see effort rewarded with better stuff.
You need to play Far Cry 4!
Myself as well. I fully expect to get involved in settlement & ship building. Which will require resource gathering from planetary exploration, so I see those as my primary goal. Also doing side quests. Like all Bethesda games that I've played, the main quest line is something that I mostly follow later in the game. I think it's the thing that I love most about their games, is you can play that way (or anyway you want) and still have tons of things to do.
I really, really love that Avowed trailer. I can't believe it's been 3 years since it was announced. No wonder I'm so old. Whoever is in charge of time has lost control.Myself as well.

It was great to finally see some news from Obsidian about Avowed. I was sure that they had temporarily shelved this game to work on Outer Worlds 2, but I'm happy to be wrong. It won't be coming out until at least 2024, but it's also nice to see them focus on the companions as a major gameplay feature. Maybe Obsidian will take the place of the old Bioware, with the focus on companions and personalities.

'About 10%' of Starfield's 1000+ planets have life on them as the game tries to capture 'the magnificent desolation' of space, says Todd Howard
Starfield's director says the game's exploration is "different than we've had" in Bethesda's previous games.
The comments are filled with people who are misinterpreting "no life" as "nothing to do".
If I remember correctly, it was introduced by the current gen consoles and can be sort of emulated with a fast SSD.The Diablo 4 team confirms DirectStorage isn't working in the game 'but we are planning on enabling it in the future'
Microsoft's funky SSD tech should be landing in Diablo 4 at some point.www.pcgamer.com
I hadn't heard of DirectStorage before, but as the last line of the article says, it would be a good reason for Starfield to require a SSD.
It's a good yoke, brought in for the new Xbox 2-3 years ago, and then ~a year ago for PC. If I recall correctly, on Xbox it used DirectX, PCI Express, and SSD to work its magic, whereas on PC it'll be mostly done via the GPU:

Can you make a quickie for Diablo 4?
Wait, what!? Gamers are saying that having no life is bad?? I don't understand what's happened to my hobby.

From a biz POV it's mid-sized, and I think that statement was in a business context rather than from a player POV.
There is no way this is a mid-size game from a business context. It's been in the Steam top 20 (and sometimes in the top 5) for months, and it's not even releasing for another month and a half. I suspect that by the time it launches, like Cyberpunk 2077, it will have already sold millions of copies on just that one platform.
