you know what, this is a fair counterpoint. it does take a while to max out skills in this game but in my early goings i found that even just one or two points into the above attributes does wonders for a melee-focused build. that said starfield is all about choosing your playstyle so really, whatever works for you :) Read more

yeah i think the first one i looted was either on akila or just before that during the old neighborhood main quest where i raided someĀ abandoned space station. either way i didnā€™t think i could get another since i found one so early by chance but it turns out the two methods i described are guaranteed drops Read more

lmao ngl iā€™m basically playing starfield the same way i played cyberpunk 2077: a sword, pistol, and shotgun is all i need to wreck some shit so i ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT for phantom liberty to drop. imma cut fools up nonstop ;) Read more

iā€™m more talking about quickly switching between weapons. like in cyberpunk 2077 you could press triangle or y to swap between your weapons alongside the option to go into your full weapon wheel. is there anything like that in starfield? because i couldā€™ve sworn i swear a vid of someone doing just that but so far iā€™veā€¦ Read more

itā€™s funny, not long after this pubbed i saw a video of someone explaining how to hot-swap weapons without going into the weapon wheel (on pc) and was absolutely shook ! i lookedĀ through starfieldā€™s settings menu up and down, swearing i couldnā€™t find it but thinking it had to be in there somewhere because - as you putā€¦ Read more

yaaas, dynasty warriors gundam 3 absolutely whipped ! Read more

very that ! some great memories behind these games and i hope posts like this - more personal blogs centered around specific memories - helps you, myself, and other readers unlock the long-dormant feelings and moments in our lives Read more

couldnā€™t agree more. like you said i think this isnā€™t a genre where you have to play every single release in maybe the same way that soulslikes help inform your understanding of the genre by playing a plethora of other soulslikes. nah get one musou game that resonates with you and itā€™ll provide countless hours ofā€¦ Read more

tysm for reading faux bravo ! that last sentence - ā€œitā€™s just really satisfying to smash a lot of guys into oblivionā€ - is exactly why i love the musou games. yeah theyā€™re repetitive. yeah theyā€™re virtually unchanged since their introduction some 20 years ago, but there really isnā€™t anything like it in gaming thatā€¦ Read more

imma agree with martyvendetta27 here: both dishwasher games are dope ! tbh ska studios doesnā€™t miss when it comes to its game releases and while the dishwasher might feel like xbox 360 arcade games, they still solid beat ā€˜em ups Read more

same, i like black desert online but ugh...that game has such a convoluted ui imo. gameplay is solid but parsing through all that nonsense is difficult to do Read more

omg literally all of this !Ā iā€™m tearing up rn, thinking about friends who lived down the street from me or colleague buddies who were across the hall...staying up all night playing smash or skyrim or whatever till whenever. such good times that are lost to adulthood and separation. bums me out a lot Read more

your last graf here is exactly my whole point with this blog. i think, with our ever-online gaming, weā€™ve lost the intimacy of gaming with another person. i miss that. thereā€™s something really special about experiencing a game with someone: whether thatā€™s simply watching someone play a game in the same room as youā€¦ Read more

the best kinda dumb fun. like just cause if it didnā€™t take itself so seriously (i mean, just cause knows it isnā€™t that much of a serious videogame but if it leaned even more into that, i feel like killer bean would beĀ the logical conclusion) Read more

hard for me to determine who to respond to so iā€™ll just drop this here at the top of the comments section. i totally understand yā€™allā€™s sentiments. kotaku has changed a lot in the twoish years iā€™ve been here. every iteration is different because new writers come in while old writers leave. thatā€™s normal. what i willā€¦ Read more
