I am back! (hopefully) with properly scheduled weekly thread.

Not much change from what I mentioned in last thread couple of days ago.

Still playing Sniper Elite 4, I think I am about 60-70% done. And got back into Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 after taking a break over the holidays.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

And while we are at it, what are your new year's gaming resolution? Play more games? Play less games? Don't pre-order? Always pre-order?

I don't have anything as big as resolution, but I have been meaning to focus on older (J)RPGs from my wishlist / backlog that I haven't had time for. So, unless something changes, I am planning to go to my "patient gamer" roots and ignore (most of the) new stuff.

I'm still playing through Starfield... For whatever reason I feel compelled to beat every Bethesda RPG with 100%, even the B- efforts like this one. I'm just over 200 hours in and hoping to wrap up by this week. Just some remaining main quest missions and a bit of grinding. We'll see.

Wow. So, are you actually enjoying it? I mean not every game is "best game of all time", but you can sometimes enjoy B category games too.

Or are you just going for 100% it because it's Bethesda RPG?

It's fun for what it is, like all Bethesda games. I played Skyrim for 350 hours, and I loved it but recognized it still had the same jank and poorly realized characters and quests as every other Bethesda game. It's not as good as Skyrim was. More comparable to Fallout. They need to change things up for their next game, but they're already in progress on Elder Scrolls 6, so I guess they won't in time for that.

ES6 was supposed to be in pre-production, so there is more than enough time to fix things.

If they intend to continue with this engine then they also need to invest considerable resources into modernizing it and fixing bugs. Third-person view, collisions, conversation blocking, NPC behavior, etc., as well as other things like player animations.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. I don't have much hope though.
