I’m excited because of Starfield. It was still an enjoyable game to me.

If they can keep the combat and stories, but condense the world and add that sense of exploration from their older games, I would be happy.

Yup, they were specifically referring to the PC edition, which makes a lot more sense.

Maybe I misunderstood your point, but I think the original comment was saying they like buying physical, transferable copies of games (ie. disks) because of the points they mentioned. The Starfield physical copy is pointless because you’re not getting a transferable copy, you’ll just get a single use code (which is the same as buying digital). The only reason people would want the Starfield physical copy is to have an item on their shelf.

Thanks for doing this! Participation is so important right now as Lemmy gets started.

I want to give a shout-out to https://lemmy.ml/c/xbox. Always need more people to talk Xbox!

Thanks for posting. Ben Felix is great.

Thanks for posting the review thread! I always enjoy the discussion that goes with them. Mandalore on YouTube also has a good review of this.

I’ll admit I’m haven’t really been into much of the Aliens universe, so just on gameplay alone it looks like it could be an ok game on sale.

Pretty sure they are thinking of Starfield.

xDefiant is an upcoming one that might scratch that itch.

Loop Hero might be one to check out. The game has an auto-battle mechanic, and you basically just manage the map and the base.

These were my thoughts as well. Ever since I’ve had a good internet connection, online only games haven’t really bothered me, but that’s a privilege many don’t have.

When I had crap internet it, I’d have to download a patch overnight and it was awful getting a surprise patch, meaning I couldn’t play til the next day.

I don’t see any reason for single player games not to have an offline mode. Especially for people who don’t have good access to internet.
