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.

I did the exact same thing. Started Storm and went Bear. I just liked smashing things.

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!

Ya, Gamepass has been somewhat weak recently IMO. They’re probably getting ready for an influx of sub for Starfield. Make a few extra bucks.

Harvest Moon was my jam back in the day. Stardew is my farming sim fix now, but I might give SoS a try.

Thanks for posting. Ben Felix is great.

Any recommendations? With how big mobile gaming is, there should be an abundance of good games, but every just feels like the same monetization formula with different skins.

Mobile gaming is such a disappointment to me. There’s so much untapped potential with touch screens and gaming. Everything just turned into these formulaic, grind-based games.
