I am enjoying Starfield. I don’t think I will make any outposts unless the game forces me to.

How do you target specific spaceship parts in Starfield? It mentioned targeting engines, but I could only target the enemy spaceship as a whole, since it sorta auto-locks on it. I couldn't find any button/keybind for something like cycling through the spaceship's systems. Also, this game's system for shifting around spaceship power is really bad. It needs to be set up in such a way that you can instantly toggle between different configurations (and ideally let the player create those configurations). So I can instantly divert everything to engines/shields/whatever, or even things out, etc. It's very awkward flying around while looking at the bottom left and pressing up and down to increase/decrease each meter. I'm really not sure what they were even thinking with that (though this can kinda be said about many aspects of this game's UI). Are they really expecting the player to be some wizard who's simultaneously chasing an enemy ship while shifting all energy from lasers to ballistics as soon as the enemy ship's shields go down? Maybe that'd be viable if I could do it with a single button, but not like this. edit: I'm still enjoying the game in spite of stuff like this (and it's not like the spaceship stuff really matters much). But it's still very confusing and makes me wish they had simply omitted stuff like the power management mechanic (or given some option to make it automatic if they insist on keeping it so tedious).

hot take: the power management is the way it is (terrible), just for the ng+ sequence, change my mind

I couldn't find any button/keybind for something like cycling through the spaceship's systems. when you have a ship targeted (E on PC) and you get a lock, pressing R will zoom in real close and let you select specific systems to target. (You still need the skill Ship Targeting from the tech skill tree) if you don’t have that skill yet and just wanna disable some ships, grab some EM weapons and just fire those. hits randomly disable ship systems and you’ll eventually hit engines or grav drives and be able to board them.

Tankbuster posted:you need the ship targeting skill. That's silly, why does the game tell you to target the engines in the "ship boarding tutorial" if it's not even possible yet (unless you've picked up that skill)? Is there another way to reliably kill engines so you can board ships? Edit: Ah, the EM weapons I guess, though you wouldn't have them during the tutorial part Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 10:59 on Sep 9, 2023 |

I don't get Outer WIlds. I have tried to play it on four separate occasions and I always end up uninstalling it every time. I always think that this time, it'll click, but no. I don't get it. I like exploratory games with strong narratives and lore and where combat isn't the focus, if at all. I liked Stray and Journey. I loved The Talos Principle. Disco Elysium is one of my all time favorite games, but I get bored by the third cycle of flying around and scanning ruins. It reminds me of the Witness. Good presentation, but it only has one trick that gets boring really fast.

Okuteru posted:I don't get Outer WIlds. I didn't much care for the environmental puzzles, and I hate time limits, so it didn't really click for me either. Once you find all the planets it's a series of "go here at exactly 3:00 after cycle start and turn off the gravity in this room between 5:20 and 6:00 so you can flood the room on the other side of the planet and blah blah blah" and then I'd gently caress up one step out of 5 and have to kill myself and start over so I can do this finicky thing that I don't much like doing in the first place. It also didn't spoonfeed me enough of the central mystery for me to give a poo poo about it. You just get tiny little scraps of info that you have to put together yourself but you may have them out of order. Bah All that's not to say I didn't like it. The atmosphere is fun. I did not finish it though. PostNouveau has issued a correction as of 13:18 on Sep 9, 2023 |

I love Outer Wilds until your freedom of exploration tightens and you have to do very specific things that you can easily miss your opportunity for and then have to start over. Also gently caress the fish.

I wasn't scared of Dark Bramble because my brain parsed it as a cave instead of an ocean even though it was full of monster fish It was still stressful, it just didn't tap dance on the same parts of my subconscious that Giant's Deep did

I finally claimed my free gamepass and took a look at the store. It was fun going through the A-Z list and seeing the venn diagram of stuff in my steam collection, and stuff that I want to play. There's a few that synthesize into "stuff I don't have that I want to play" Then I scrolled to the bottom and... Wait what like that's all 7 of the mainline Yakuza series, that's so much Yakuza. The value proposition was understated.

Okuteru posted:I don't get Outer WIlds. It's brilliant because there is only one real puzzle in the game to solve and the pieces of how to do that are scattered around and it's up to you to put them together. Personally I loved the variety in the different planets and the pressure the explore just a bit more next time because maybe you missed something? Also it has a ton of heart and a very emotional story to discover, rip to the Nomai the real OGs.

I found the Freestar Clinic mission a combination of really good and really weird, because after a lot of interactivity and dialogue with a bunch of people, slowly looking for clues (and hints that the database is being hacked), you discover it has been, someone has been killed, there are mines and a turret, but if you go back to the main wing - nobody has noticed and you can’t talk to anyone about it! I suppose most players might just leave a location as soon as the mission tells them the next place to go, but nobody would want to alert the Ranger and clinic staff? You can’t even tell the IT guy the database was broken into? Nobody heard gunfire and explosions? It’s happened a few times on side quests where there wasn’t much to do in the mission area anyway, but in this case you’ve talked to the ranger and all of the doctors several times so it would make sense to at least interact with them after that exciting plot development and action sequence.

Switching to my ssd made Starfield play better but it still looks incredibly fuzzy and I crashed to desktop on New Atlantis. Meanwhile AC6 looks and plays incredible with these huge sci fi industrial hellscapes.
