Starfield Alternatives for PlayStation Plus Subscribers

The long-awaited game, Starfield, has finally arrived for some lucky players. However, it's worth noting that this epic space adventure is exclusively available on Xbox Series X/S consoles, leaving console-only players without one of Microsoft's latest systems in search of alternatives. Fortunately, Sony's PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscription service offers some compelling gaming options.

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

For those craving a choice-driven RPG experience, revisiting Bethesda Game Studios' classic, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is a timeless choice. With its expansive open world, numerous character classes, rich lore, and captivating stories, Skyrim has cemented its status as one of the finest fantasy RPGs. While many have likely ventured into Skyrim's landscapes already, it remains a go-to game for scratching that Western RPG itch.

2. Prey

Prey, developed by Arkane Studios (also owned by ZeniMax Media, like Bethesda), offers a different yet immersive experience. As a sci-fi horror game and immersive sim, Prey combines chills with versatile gameplay mechanics. Players must navigate a space-bound horror adventure armed with various tools to overcome challenges, including a roguelike mode for added replayability. If Starfield's sandbox potential appeals to you, Prey's space horror playground might be the perfect fit.

3. Starlink: Battle for Atlas

Starlink: Battle for Atlas offers an intriguing alternative for those fascinated by space exploration. This game features galaxy-exploring gameplay, allowing players to traverse space and planetary surfaces in customizable spacecraft. Originally a toys-to-life game, it's now available to PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers without the need for physical toys. If you're craving space exploration and don't mind a game primarily set in a customizable spaceship, give Starlink: Battle for Atlas a shot.

4. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

For gamers with a penchant for older titles, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter offers a space bounty hunter fantasy reminiscent of Starfield. This LucasArts game, originally released for PS2 and GameCube in 2002 (remastered for PS4 in 2016), stars Jango Fett and provides insight into the bounty hunter's activities before Attack of the Clones.

I'm Your Huckleberry

Howdy y'all! Today the first two (2) chapters of I'm Your Huckleberry went live on ao3! This is that story revolving around the big west west party I've been working on off and on since April. It would have been done sooner but we can all thank heath issues for that.

The story is rated Mature and will be 14 chapters. Contains explicit language and themes of past abuse and neglect for several adult characters.

As The Liberated's survey of Cassiopeia I draws to a close focus shifts to planning young Sophie's 7th birthday party. The birthday girl's request is a big one but nothing Delgado and the team can't handle. Everything feels smooth sailing with Doc Melody's help until specters start casting shadows on the Ranch. Will Del and Doc be able to shake off the weight of their pasts before the party? Or will trouble rain of the joyous day?

The first two chapters are on ao3 and you can quickly get there by clicking HERE!

And as always, a snippet from the first chapter under a read more:

“How did you…” he stopped next to her and joined in looking around, his voice more calm, “Did you find any better spots?”

“Yeah, three or four,” she sighed, “I still can’t believe I let you two talk me into this.”

“Oh, come on, the arrangement is perfect for you,” Del clapped her back and ignored the unseen glare under her helmet, “enemy of my enemy and all that shit. Plus how many old Earth artifacts have the Liberated gifted to Constellation since we started.”

“Just get moving, the girls and Rafa await your return.”

He turned and watched as Rokov, Jazz, and the others hustled off the beach, A few bags and small cases left up on the rocks in order to travel light. He gave Jay’s shoulder another couple pats and said in a softer tone, “thank you for the assist.”

“I’m sure you did have it covered,” she looked down her barrel and took a shot off to the north, the explosion causing several walking flowers to scatter, “but better safe than sorry.”

“And you wearing your getup?” he asked as they started moving for the ships.

“Aw, come on,” she playfully pushed him, “you telling me you never wanted to work with a superhero before?”

Delgado heard Jazz snort a laugh before turning on her heel and backpedaling with the group, “I’m still curious to see the superhero in action. The way Cora has talked you up I half expect you to fly off into the sunset with a green cape billowing in the wind.”

“She has a…vivid imagination,” Jay said with the shake of her head.

Something about the good doctor’s tone made Del perk up. She was holding something back there. But that was silly, Jay was just an adventurous anthropologist who got a lucky score with finding that abandoned lair. Yet she was also deceptively strong and both her and her twin were eerily perceptive in a firefight. He’d seen them call shots impossible to see and twice now his crew reported seeing her survive grenade blasts that would have ripped anyone else apart. “It was like her suit was made of fucking stone,” Seumas had said about it after their run-in with spacers on the northern pole.

“Vivid nothing,” Seumas chimed in now, “I’ve seen that suit of your shimmer.”

“Trick of the light,” Jay waved off with a chuckle, “the firefight had knocked up snow and the lights around that landing pad bounced off the ice particles.”

“Bullshit,” Seumas pointed at her, “I don’t know did do it but I know that’s bullshit.”

So after watching some video's by Captain Mack, to learn about what the hell even happens in Starfields story...I learned that the combination of this game's ending and Bethesda's laziness have created what is accidentally the most toxically nihlistic message I have ever seen in a video game.

Basically there is a point where you join a group called "Constellation" and one of four people in the group with you will die. It is chosen by some kind of "Affection" metric, basically whoever you had hung around and spoke to the most prior to the death event, would die. Then MUCH later on, you would run into a version of that same character, from another timeline, called The Emmisary. With their backstory being they finished the main storyline of their Starfield game after YOU were the one who died. The issue is, The Emmisary doesn't have any differences in behavior, equipment, or personality, depending on who died. The Emmisary is a non-fluid character. So whoever they were in "your" timeline is irrelevant.

The gimmick of the ending is you find the center of the universe, and make yourself a "Starborn", a being who is now a constant entity in every reality. Meaning that you get sent into a new game+ and can beat the game an infinite number of times....the Nihlism comes into play when you realize that your actions have almost no impact on anything ever. The games fundamental message in it's writing is that there are infinite universes with infinite possiblities, and as a result ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! But the gameplay has 0 variation in it. Meaning that in all the infinite realms of possibility...nothing you do, nothing anyone has ever done, and possibly ever will do, will change anything.

Holy FUCK is that such a terrible case of ludonarrative dissonance.

Starfield Episode 8: Alternating Currents

Reviewers Requesting PS5 Code for Starfield Despite Xbox-Exclusive Status, Bethesda PR Director Reacts

It's that time, fellow gamers! Bethesda's highly anticipated space RPG, Starfield, has finally graced the gaming universe. Early access began just last week for lucky individuals who nabbed the Premium or Constellation editions. But fear not, if you're eagerly awaiting your turn to explore the cosmos, the wait is almost over. Access will be open to all on Wednesday, September 6th.

As of this moment, Starfield boasts an impressive Metacritic score of 87 for Xbox and 88 for PC. In our review, we bestowed upon Starfield a perfect 10, with our words echoing, "Once in a while, a new game emerges that redefines our expectations for the gaming industry. Starfield is that game. It transcends our conventional understanding of an open-world game. Bethesda has crafted a universe that, despite its vastness, keeps players engaged with an astonishing attention to detail." With such acclaim, it's no wonder gamers around the world are itching to join in on the adventure. However, here's an amusing twist: Some reviewers have been requesting PS5 codes. Who's going to break the news to them?

According to Dexerto, Bethesda's senior director of PR, Matt Frary, took to Twitter to share this intriguing tidbit. He humorously noted, "Now that it's the weekend… shout out to the small handful of reviewers who requested a PS5 code unironically. I may not have responded, but just know … you made me laugh." He further clarified, "This isn't a console dig. It's a dig at contacts not checking their work. Angry people out there … find a way to let the anger go. It's OK." As many are aware, Starfield is an Xbox console exclusive, with PC being the only other platform where it's available. It appears that a few hopeful reviewers may have missed this vital piece of information in their rush to request review codes.

Already, Starfield is making waves on platforms like Twitch, where players are diving headfirst into this expansive release. It's safe to assume that we'll be hearing about impressive sales figures and player counts in the coming weeks as the game continues to capture the imagination of gamers worldwide.

Hope Falls

I finally convinced Fox to sit down and tell me about the whirlwind that was his first day as a Ranger. He's a shy man, preferring to be a side character in someone else's story, not thinking his life is worth documenting.

And his story is now live on ao3. It's rated E for extreme depictions of violence and is a 4763 word oneshot. It takes place on the same day as chapter 13 of Reclaiming Home but you don't need to have read that story to enjoy Fox's first day as a Freestar Ranger.

After a troubling confrontation above Andraste III, Fox has finally decided to accept the long standing offer to join the Freestar Rangers. When he gets to the Rock to take his oath he finds himself dragged head first into the dramatic finish of Helga's wild investigation.

You can find it by clicking here!

and a small sneak peek, as always!

Emma looked up, “Helga uncovered something huge and was on her way back here to get support when that ship jumped her.”

“What…who?” Fox stammered.

“She was able to get damning evidence on someone powerful,” Blake leaned on the table, “but before we can go forward I need to know if you’re finally joining up?”

“That was one of the reasons I was here,” Fox pushed a stray piece of hair behind his ear, “and give my statement on Hart’s little stunt.”

“That can wait,” Blake waved the thought away, “she’s in lockup and will stay there until I’m less pissed and things aren’t burning around us. What’s your answer, Vanguard Prince?”

“That I’ve been stalling for too long,” Fox stood tall, “I’m your man, whatever you need.”

Marshal Blake turned to face Fox, squaring his shoulders and looking a touch less stressed, “Then I just have one question: Do you pledge to defend the people of the Freestar Collective, even if it means risking your own life?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Good,” Blake clapped Fox’s shoulder, “welcome aboard Deputy.”

“Now, for your first mission,” Emma said with a sympathetic smile, “We’ll be jumping out to Palvo to meet with Governor Hope.”

“What exactly did Helga find?” Fox asked.

“Do you remember hearing the news reports about a farming initiative HopeTech was running test trials on?” Emma asked.

Fox nodded, “yeah, word was it was a colossal failure.”

“Officially it was,” Emma sighed, “and you’ve heard the sporadic reports of farms getting hit by a group of mercs? Some casualties, others limited thankfully to property damage.”

“Let me guess, those farms all participated in the initiative?” Fox scowled, “Hope trying to silence their complaints?”

“Worse,” the Marshal shook his head

Starfield is just another sandbox to carry out killing fantasies of hundreds of desperate people forced to a life of crime b3cause of the failure of the society at large to provide for them. It gives you an acceptable badguy to murder by the scores while going back to your little space nato base and getting you're daily credits. You're the big space hero, there is no alternative, there just has to be a population of people who are acceptable to kill at all times to prop up this order. I guess that's why I shoot down every colony ship I find. No more colonies. No more video game. No more fallout 76 logic that tells you to your face that prewar America was good and needs to be rebuilt.

Fallout new vegas gave you something to hope for at least. I don't think a game like that can ever be made again.
