So you like Skyrim and Fallout4, yes? Looking for a good spoiler free report.
Skyrim yes, Fallout 4 no. I wasn't a big fan of 4 since Bethesda cut so many of the RPG mechanics out in that entry, and giving your character a voice was a big mistake that I'm so glad they walked back on for Starfield. I got bored of 4 that I just went back to New Vegas to cheer me up.
The reason I bought Starfield and why I really want to play it is for something I love very very much: Zero Gravity Combat. I used to play this multiplayer game a long time ago that sadly shut down called Shattered Horizon, which was a multiplayer arena shooter taking place completely outside in space. Everyone doing EVAs shooting each other, with your shots actually pushing you back, the degrees of movement you had, it was so fun.
After the game shut down the other zero gravity space FPS was Space Junkies, a VR game...by Ubisoft...yeah you can guess what happened to that game. But besides that was a better game: Prey 2017 by Arkane Studios which was my favorite game of the PS4 generation besides Persona 5 obviously. Prey 2017 though was not an FPS but was an immersive sim, so gunplay was not a heavy focus, but it did have moments where you fought Typhon monsters in zero g inside and outside the station and you were effected by Newton's Third Law. Then after that...nothing...nothing for years...
...until now. I was gonna wait on Starfield, but watching the Starfield Direct, they show off yes there's lots of moments in zero g, and yes, you can do combat in zero g, and in zero g kinect weapons effect Newton's Third Law. The moment I saw that, I immediately preordered the Premium Edition. Zero G gunfights are my thing and wish that more games did them, because you have so much freedom in what directions you can go, and it's so cool to just have a floating shootout in space. And as an added bonus I recently learned Id Software was helping Bethesda with the shooting mechanics, which has me even more excited because Doom 2016 and Eternal kicked ass.
So I say again: Why isn't it Friday yet TODD?!
