Starfield is fun but it has no gravitas because they’ve taken anything with edge out of it (sex, nudity, drugs/junkies, extreme violence etc.) it feels like one of those bleh G rated Disney “horror” movies.
- GaggiX 3y agoDoes sex, nudity, drugs/junkies, extreme violence make a game better? Anyway I think there are more fundamental problems with the game.
- huytersd 3y agoI think so, especially when you’re trying to represent a sizable part of the known universe. It also severely restricts the stories you can tell.
- wkat4242 3y agoAbsolutely, it's more realistic. Unless you like playing hello kitty :)
- GaggiX 3y agoYeah no, I think I can easily play a game without.
- wkat4242 3y agoCompare the videos linked elsewhere in this thread, the CP scenes are just so much richer. The starfield ones feel really fake imo.
- GaggiX 3y agoI'm speaking more in general, not as a comparison between cyberpunk 2077 and starfield, there are plenty of games that do not have dark themes, and I don't think that any of that is required to make a good game.
- junon 3y agoI think you're intentionally missing the point being made.
- allarm 3y agoNone of games without these elements feel real. Not everybody prefer polished Disney-like worlds, thank you very much.
- GaggiX 3y agoI mean if you only play games that needs to feel real than you are really limiting yourself.
- ChoGGi 3y agoTodd was the one saying Starfield was going to be realistic. Instead you're Buck Rogers
- allarm 3y agoI have more than 200 games in my Steam library, I’m good, thank you.
- GaggiX 3y agoYeah and I imagine that all of them have sex, nudity, drugs/junkies, extreme violence in it otherwise they would be polished Disney-like worlds.
- huytersd 3y agoDefinitely not every game but a space rpg? It’s basically cutting out anything that humans genuinely find interesting on a primal level.
- drexlspivey 3y agoThese two short videos compare two similar scenes in Starfield and Cyberpunk, the difference is astounding. https://youtu.be/ws0ufhrgWJw https://youtu.be/ws0ufhrgWJw https://youtu.be/K4ADco41g9s https://youtu.be/K4ADco41g9s
