Bad/misleading title. The article (actually just a regurgitation of a podcast interview) is about the design & layout differences between two specific cities: New Atlantis in Starfield and Diamond City in Fallout 4.

Basically just this one designer saying he didn’t like the design of New Atlantis compared to his own work.

Purkeypile explained that Starfield’s main city, New Atlantis, was the “antithesis” of Fallout 4’s Diamond City.

Baity clicks are still clicks. Very shitty behavior from the site.

“I didn’t work that much on that city,” Purkeypile explained. “I worked on Akila and Neon a fair amount, but New Atlantis, I wasn’t really involved in that much. But I got lost in that all the time when I tried to play the game too it’s so big and Diamond City, you can see, is kind of like the antithesis of that like sprawling city thing.”

There, everything anyone checking needs to read

Wait... his name is actually Purkeypile? I remember playing through fallout 4 once and I looked through the list of names Codsworth recognized... and Purkeypile was one of them. I named my character that and made him the most dapper man in the wasteland "Missta Purkeypile...."

I wonder if they put that in there because of him.
