Just a random thought I had, I don’t know if it will be fun or now.

Just games that don’t involve and violence and is based on corporate drama or whatnot, would there be such a game?

Like a game that maybe allows you to change history?

I know for many its Gwent in Witcher 3.

When I finished Far cry 3 and had cleared all the outposts, all I did was play poker.

I recently started Starfield, yes in 2024, no, I don't hate myself lol. I went into the gaming knowing there were shortcomings, things like the lack of truly free ship travel, lots of loading, scarce planets, all kinds of stuff. But somehow, I was not prepared for one of the most stunning moments I've ever had in gaming over 30 years and playing 100s of games.

After seeing what I thought were just similarities in the same type of location 3 different times, I realized there are exact copies of buildings on different planets. They don't just have the same layout, honestly that I could look past, with the excuse that these outposts and factories are build cookie cutter on purpose for efficiency or whatever. However, these aren't the just the same 'model' of a building, everything is the same, EVERYTHING. Every book, every wrench, every gun placement, every enemy placement, the same exact, specific to the location, note found.

Maybe this is old news, but by god I just had to post about it. I cannot believe they didn't build in some randomization to the item or enemy placement in these structures. I was having a pretty good time with the game up until I realized this happens (some aren't carbon copies, but you will absolutely run into them without trying).

Randomized areas have been around for decades at this point, clearly this is a huge scale and more complex than an 16 bit dungeon, but this is one of the most mind bogglingly bad design decisions in a AAA game I've ever seen. I'm not saying it's easy to make unique places in an entire galaxy, or that I even expect that, but having countless full building clones is not acceptable and absolutely breaks the immersion completely. I'm only expecting the bare minimum here, not some miracle of computation.

TLDR: There are exact copy/paste buildings with the same item and enemy placement, in such a high budget game made by professionals, seriously, I'm stunned. Most everything else about the game has been palatable, this is ridiculous.

Hi everyone, I'm a 40 year old man that's always wanted a gaming pc but have only ever had consoles. I've recently bought myself a very good gaming pc and was hoping for some suggestions on what to play.

I'd be interested in hearing what you believe are either pc exclusive games that I've been missing out on or games that are just objectively better on pc.

I'm into most kinds of games. Only real exceptions are sports and visual novels .

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

This could be space games that focus specifcally on this, games set in the ocean especially, maybe games set in huge caves? Just games concerning the void or the depths in some way.

Microsoft has been struggling to name their consoles since the Xbox 360, how would you rename their latest consoles to make them more appealing / less confusing?

Nintendo Switch is a perfect name. It’s short, unique and describes the product (switching from home to portable console).

PlayStation 5 is functional, even if it’s not particularly exciting.

For those questions that don't feel worthy of a whole new post.

As much as devs and companies like to claim that games get more complicated and expensive to make, at the end of the day, it's you who set down costs. It's your decisions to spend 400 millions on a game, instead of 'just' 200 or 100. It's your decision to have a vast open world, it's your decision to have state of the art photorealistic graphics (and I love realistic graphics, but even then you can have a cheaper version of realistic that still looks good) and it's your decision to have a marketing budget that is as big as the development cost.

It's all in your hands, so don't come here to me crying that developing games is unsustainable, when it's entirely your decision to have such bloated budgets, all while AA games show you that you can provide a good experience for a lesser price.
