So Starfield is bad?? That sucks I'm sory :( (tbh I didn't even know it was out yet lol)

honestly it doesn't seem bad, just like. empty i guess. like yeah, it's a bethesda game in space. that's all i got from it. i didn't feel particularly attached to any of the characters i met and the gameplay didn't do anything for me. i've preferred watching streamers or speedrunners play it but nothing about the game really draws me in. the fact that i haven't seen any tesblr bloggers being Extremely Normal about the characters was the big sign for me that the game just isn't hitting the same for some players. if people enjoy it, that's sick! i hope other people like it!! it just didn't do anything for me.

I have a good feeling about starfield tbh. The previews we've gotten make it look like the bethesda together I'm craving. Obviously I don't know that for certain but I like what I've seen!

Regardless I will be playing it the day after launch and making my brother jealous that I get to play it before him!

Honestly it looks a lot like no man's sky meets fallout and I'm down for that!!! I like nms but the procedural generation feels hollow a lot, I think starfield will be a lot better for me since we'll have companions and quests and stuff instead of just "ok here's a space sandbox and all the worlds are pretty much the same"

Hallo! i know little to nothing about Mass Effect and tbh all ur posts on here are getting me curious so when i can i think i might buy the games :) it also looks?? so pretty?? Im excited 2 see this blog grow hopefully and i hope you have fun with it and the game!

That is the highest of praise, thank you so much <3

Okay so, I'm assuming you're on pc too. If not, then tell me and I'll search around for ps or xbox deals and price history.

I recommend getting the legendary edition! It's three whole games and their dlc in one pack. It's original price is 60$ but during sale it goes down to 6$ which is a steal honestly, the game is phenomenal so far as an rpg and shooter.

And there is romance in it too! The characters are reoccurring and you can import your save from the first game to the second and third so the people and quests will be shaped to fit your story and choices in the previous game.

Here is the steam db sale link.

The last time it went on sale was during steam winter feast, and based on it's history it goes on sale on the 19th of January too! So maybe very soon, hopefully. If not, then there is also lunar New years on 27th of January.

Based on this chart, it's been going on sale very often, and the price keeps getting lower. So hopefully you'll get it even cheaper than I did. God knows I'd rather choke on acid than pay 60$ for a game. We don't count bg3 that was...a once a year purchase for my birthday.

I don't recommend paying full price at all, it falls off in comparison to today's 60$ games. Please wait for a sale.

I'm also new to this game! I've been playing it for the past week, and so, and oh my god, it stole all of my attention and heart. The fandom isn't...friendly, and it's mostly 35y+ people, so the fanfics are old-school millennial style.

But honestly, that's fine. We can make our own space. And I'm very open to requests for fanfics <3

The game does have some queer representation, which is nice. Even tho the first game is very old.

It's very easy, difficulty wise, and I am someone who sucks at shooter games. I've beaten far cry 4 with a bow. I can help you with anything you have questions about or need guidance for!

Again thank you so much Aaaa this made me very happy <3 it does feel lonely here by myself at times so I'm very grateful that you're willing to give this game a try. And it does have clear dnd themes in gith, drows and mindflayers if you're here from the bg3 blog. But they're just themes again and they take a lot of creatively in switching up these concepts. Mass effect is genuinely so beautiful! It feels like what starfield should've been at times. I keep staring at the planets and stars.

asjdfhlasfhsadjfh back when i sent you that previous message, i, too, was excited for lotf!! i wanted to watch dist2 play it before i decide to get it because it was a lot of money and i was unsure 😭 and now i'm glad i didn't SDFHLASDJFHA the game looks cool, dgmw!! but the combat... i'm not sure if it's exactly for me sajfdalsdjf dist himself mentioned that it feels unpolished :( i wonder how you ended up liking it!! for me LoP is the goty though 🧡 the world and the combat is so good. it's very linear and quite simple but i feel like that's its charm!!

i have heard of starfield!! in... a lot of bad contexts sajdfasjkdfh i haven't seen it or played it myself though so i can't form my own opinion!! but if you're enjoying it that's the main thing 🧡

i also bought assassins creed mirage!! it looked cool and very well polished so i got the launch edition with a steelbook hehe, it cost a lot of money but guess what..... i can't play it 🤣 i'm a little prone to motion sickness and it hasn't happened in a looong time but playing mirage triggered it SO heavily i was nauseated for 3 whole hours even after turning the game off 😭 it's such a shame because the game looks genuinely good... i'm hoping ubisoft will release an update that will add the option to turn some settings off because a lot of ppl have been crying about it but so far it's just wishful thinking :( so i've started replaying AC origins instead sadfaskjfhasdhf the best one in the franchise!!! hehe just a small rant 🧡🧡

hope you've been great bestie 🧡

from @tixti 🧡

ahhh i see!! for me i really love the combat and the difficulty, i know lots of the complaints are about the difficulty balance but as someone who has played tens of games that are Unfair and very punishing, i enjoy it lots <3 but im gonna wait to buy it still bc i dont think it's a full price buy for me 😳

tbh the people who dislike starfield are just really loud… SDFLKJKDL honest to god i've been playing on desktop and haven't had one problem at all, even with bugs, like there's a few buggy quests but game stuff i haven't experienced any issues. bethesda games kinda have that sort of charm to them tho!

NOOOOO you can't play it? that's so upsetting wtf 😭 honestly it's more shocking that they don't have an option for motion blur bc that's like seriously standard in games now like?? for ubisoft esp to not have an option… come on. that's so disappointing 😭😭😭 it's fun that you enjoy assassins creed tho it's one of my fave franchises the first one was one of the first games i ever played!!!

i've been good tho hehe playing lots of my gachas endlessly kkk

So with both the Playstation and Xbox showcases having wrapped, along with a few others, I thought that I should share some gaming news:

Star Wars Outlaws

I seriously did not expect this game at all. And it looks phenomenal! I'm thrilled that they're turning away from the usual Rebellion-Empire, Jedi storylines that we've seen recently and are going towards a gunslinger, smuggler point of view this time around. And from the gameplay shown, this is basically Red Dead Redemption 2 in Star Wars form. The only concern is that this is developed by Ubisoft, which has a reputation for downgrading their games after post-production and hasn't done a lot of innovation in their latest games.

Starfield

I know there is a lot riding on this game, especially for the current Xbox generation. But this game isn't going to make me buy a new Xbox any time soon, mainly because this game looks and feels generic at best. And it has the same game mechanics as No Man's Sky, a game that you could get for 50% when it goes on sale frequently. Or if you just want a Space RPG, then just get The Outer Worlds for $20.

I honestly don't know why people preordering this game in droves, particularly because Bethesda has released really buggy games while also having absurd microtransactions. But since Microsoft owns them now, I'm also having my doubts since one of Microsoft's studios just released perhaps one of the worst disastrous launches in gaming history a little over a month ago. Also, it's locked at 30 frames per second, so if I get a Series X, it's not going to take advantage of the hardware. So, I'll wait until the reviews come in, or at the very least, it goes on sale.

Xbox Series S Carbon Black

It's simply the Series S, just in black. However, it has 1TB of storage instead of 512GB. And it only costs $350. So $50 more for an extra 500GB? This is a really great budget deal in my opinion if you want to upgrade to the current generation of consoles without breaking the bank.

CRKD Nitro Deck

So this is a Switch accessory, but if you want to make your Switch look like a Steam Deck, this is it. However, you don't have to worry about stick drift, it has reprogrammable back buttons, and you can customize the joysticks.

Also, it comes in a limited edition Gamecube colorway, which is really nostalgic for Nintendo fans.

Im gonna be honest i don’t know either game so i hade to research lol 😂 but they both do look really cool I’ve only every played Star Wars Fallen Order but outlaws looks pretty fun, i would definitely like to check it out. Star Field looks sick!! Omg the graphics, but from the trailer it looks like a shooting game am i wrong? I don’t play games like that anymore i used to play stuff like gta san andres or cod in high school but i wasn’t v good tbh 😂. Auto aim is my bestie is all I’ll say haha. I don’t know much about game mechanics or frame rates so i can’t say much there sorry. You can educate me if you want lol. Also I’ve heard of a steam deck and seen it idk what it does? I looked up the nitro deck and i love the gamecube skin, i still have my gamecube and controls 🥹 once i know what it is ill think about purchasing it lol

I honestly thought Riot Games were bringing their stuff to Xbox, but it's all PC or mobile with pretty much everything unlocked for each game, not bad. (LoL, LoLWR, Teamfight Tactics, Runeterra, Valorant, Winter 2022)

MOTORSPORT BAYBEEEEEE (Forza Motorsport)

I'm speechless. This man said you can land anywhere on a planet in this system. And not just this one, but over one hundred systems and one thousand planets.

...I'm having No Man Sky flashbacks but that game was procedurally generated , this COULD be different, but I'll keep my expectations real.

Starfield, Coming 2023. Looks like I'm getting a new Xbox/PC. DAY ONE ON GAME PASS.

VERY GOOD SHOW, GREAT SHOW
