Everyone here said Flight Sim is niche as feck but apparently they just need to release a starfield mod and gamers will come in their millions

Flight Sim is the one game I wish was available on PS5
A Sarah Morgan and some grenades did the trick for me. Did it at lvl 4 and 5.
I took the introvert peel, so I’ll be running alone mostly.
But as for grenades, the really only tickled the robots. It actually confused me that they had such little effect.
How to speed up sleep?
Seen that the guard AI is even worse than police AI in Cyberpunk?

Oh the cringe.

How about instead of having a double heart attack, leave it at the default option and move on with your life
What a bizarre, angry shell of a human being. Twat.
Yeah, I came across him the other day. Called him an angry baked bean and blocked him.
That'll learn 'em!
Didn't like it at first(I generally don't like space games), but coming to the end of Theradbrad's first video and seeing New Atlantis makes me want to play this. Sadly, my laptop can't handle the game. Oh man, why they gotta makes exclusives a thing. Just release the games on all platforms and be done with it. Ergo, release it on PS5 as well.
Imagine trying to make others people's existence fractionally better. The absolute gall of Bethesda.
Microsoft own Bethesda now, so it makes sense they'd want to gatekeep this for the xbox.Didn't like it at first(I generally don't like space games), but coming to the end of Theradbrad's first video and seeing New Atlantis makes me want to play this.

Though now they've realised its not exactly the generational console-seller they hoped it would be, they might be inclined to sanction a PS5 release in the future to boost sales.
Picked up this weird audio bug where the dialog has gone into the background.
Edit: same as this below.
Shutting down and restart worked as above.

Yeah but if they do it may water down the console selling impact of Elder Scrolls 6 if people think it might come out eventually on playstation.
I think timed exclusives are palatable enough for MS. Ultimately its in their interest that one of their studios sell as many games as possible. They also seemed resigned to the idea of always playing second fiddle to Sony in the console wars.
Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually go down the SEGA route and just focus exclusively on software.
Oh the cringe.
Fun dude
Preinstalling now, been playing RDR2 again and having a lot of fun, 2 more days though and it’ll be Starfield I’m playing. @Redlambs what’s your verdict? How’s the main story? Bethesda can be a bit shite when it comes to that but I’ve heard this time it’s decent
When I read the description, I thought it was going to be someone reacting positively to it, perhaps over zealously, but nah, it’s just a whiny dickhead

What's the consensus? Good game but nothing genre or generation defining? Or something that will last and be remembered very fondly?
It's a Bestheda game, there is no way to know what it is until modders have worked their magic.
Having played for it 5 days id say 8/10. If you like it there definitly a lot content. Its a good/great game without being a masterpiece or genredefining
The more I play it the more I love it.
Very good so far. I think it will last and be remembered very fondly. Not sure about "genre-defining" but its much better than most of the open world slop out there, so I guess in some sense it is? Hard to say more given I've only played ~8 hours.
People will be playing this for years to come.
A note on this, I was able mess around with my TV settings and get it looking reasonable. Still strikes me as incredible that they don't even have a basic brightness slider in the game settings. If you're playing on OLED, look into your TV's settings to boost black levels because otherwise the game looks like video from a fingerprint-covered smartphone lens.
I like it enough. It's in no way genre defining in any way (basically, those prelaunch videos and hype about features are all nonsense), but it's decent to very good in parts. It is Fallout/Skyrim in space, nothing more and nothing less.
As for it being remembered, well as much as something like Fallout4 will be. It's not on the level of Skyrim in terms of that. But that does depend on what DLC's do and if they open up the universe.
Has its quirks and some missed potential. But it definitely will go down as many peoples GOTY and one of their favourite games ever.
Everyone's mileage will vary and some will hate it. But there's a good chunk of people who will sink 100s of hours into it and love every minute. It has as much potential for that as your typical genre/gen defining game.
This seems to be the trend looking at Reddit too. It’s got a lot of people hooked now. Not long left for us peasants
I’m 20 hours in and I can’t stop playing.
TBH VvV, I pretty much loved it from the off. Felt right at home but it’s really now, 20 odd hours in and I’m getting more familiar with the systems and rhythm of the game that I’m really falling in deep.
Played nowt else since Friday. This makes my XBox worth every penny.
Thos thing will keep me busy for yonks buddy. Hope you enjoy it too.
Nope. When I get back from work tomorrow.
The ship building looks great. Apparently mobility is the big one that makes the combat a lot more enjoyable.
The ship building is very decent. Could be more free flowing, but it is both easy to use and at least somewhat deep.
But that shows the biggest flaw with this game for me, the base of what they wanted to do and told us what it would be is there, but it's just not realised. Like the ship building, you get to do all this cool stuff and you get to mess with power levels and all that, but then you never do sod all with it. You can't fly your ship around properly, it's limited to a few space battles where nothing really matters, it's just a huge waste of a mechanic that actually has all the parts there.
It's not like Cyberpunk that was broken from the start and can't ever be turned into what they promised, it's actually got all the right bits in the right places. But they definitely ran short on time and reigned it all in. Hopefully they will open it up with DLCs.
Anyone else taking damage from Sarah throwing grenades?
I’ve not done any ship building yet, keep meaning to get involved in that but been happy following the story and doing plenty of exploration for now. Just looking round is cool and I’ve had some genuinely cool moments on some planets.
The mobility and combat are just fine, not quite COD levels but more than good enough to enjoy it.
There’s a lot to enjoy and I haven’t wanted to go into work at all this week, been getting up and playing before work each day. Also I’m loving the soundtrack, keep catching myself whistling the main score
It is literally Skyrim 2189 and that’s no bad thing for me, that’s the game I’ve spent more time in than owt else so with that in mind and the fact I love well realised sci fi this is a real winner.
Im also pretty optimistic about its future too. Todd Howard said he’s making a game to last a decade so I’d be really surprised if the game doesn’t change form or expand somewhat over the coming years.
As @Redlambs said, it’s got all the right bits in all the right places. There’s so much good to focus on that the few shortcomings have been easy for me to overlook asnd accept but as an eternal optimist, I think some smart DLC will elevate it even more.
