  • I get what you’re saying, but eliminating loading screens in a game like this just isn’t feasible.

    NMS or Elite Dangerous style space travel might be, but then it would have a similarly cartoonist reduced scale. I wouldn’t mind that personally, but I get why they didn’t do it.

    My primary complaint is that the cities themselves are split up into multiple zones. If Skyrim can be entirely open, so to should Jameison.


  • It’s still open world in the sense that there are plenty of places you can go to and in any order without being gated through a linear story line.

    Even if you were to ignore my advice, it wouldn’t be any more open world because travelling between these areas is always gated by loading screens.

    My suggestion is merely to reduce the amount of loading screens between zones.

    Instead of leaving constellation, loading Jameisom, getting on the train, loading the shipyard, entering your ship, loading the ship interior, taking off, loading space, going to your map, selecting warp to sol, loading sol, selecting a landing site on Cydonia, loading your ship interior on cydonia, leaving your ship, and loading cydonia.

    I’m suggesting you fast travel straight from the lodge to cydonia. Cutting 7 loading screens down to 1.

    Of course, I also recommend that you take time to explore the areas you’re in.


  • I have literally never watched or read a review of ESO or Fallout 76.

    I played both.

    ESO fails at being a solid Elder Scrolls game because it’s tailored more toward an MMO experience. The writing is awful, and the quests are boring. The combat sucks, and the social features are abysmal given you can’t even share quests. Literally the only reason I could imagine anyone playing this game is because they want to grind out an MMO every day that’s set in the Elder Scrolls universe.

    Fallout 76, I don’t even know where to start. Again, the MMO mechanics tear out everything good about Fallout games to deliver a bland, grindy MMO with bad combat.













  • It’s missing some of the gesture customization others have. I particularly like the left AND right swipe gestures in Thunder. Plus, there are more actions you can assign to them.

    Thunder also has more visual adjustments. Things like edge to edge images and post action customizations.

    Also, the reply window makes formatting and quoting easier.

    The feature different isn’t big though, and most of them aren’t a big deal.

    I’m not sure why you think Thunder is ugly though. The way I have them setup, they look almost exactly the same, except I have nested comments in factors more visible on Thunder, which makes it a bit easier to track the conversation.


  • BG3 is great. So far I’m thinking it’s the best CRPG of all time. I’d recommend it over DoS 1&2, which is saying a LOT because DoS2 is amazing.

    Thronefall is a great, cozy game that still scratches my RTS itch.

    I think New Star is probably only going to work for specific people. It has the look of Virtua Racer, with old school arcadey car feel, in Formula One style races with a career mode based on managing your sponsorships, pit crew, and engineers, while upgrading your car. It’s absolutely nothing like NFS.

    I’d recommend it if you liked games like Rush and Cruis’n USA, and Formula One.

    If you’re looking for something like NFS, NFS Heat was pretty solid. Forza Horizon 5 would be another game you might enjoy. Project Cars 3 is another solid Arcadey racer. I mostly play Sim and Simcade racers, so I don’t have a lot of recommendations for arcadey racers.
