    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    Looks fun. I am fuzzy on the question if it can be run on PC or does it require an XBox? I recall playing Skyrim on a PS3 about 15 years ago and that sucked. There was a bug Bethesda never bothered to fix that limited your character’s level. Not worth playing on the secondary platform.

    SQ42 development status

    No it doesn’t. I think the real reason they want it in SQ42 is it’s RSI. Chris doesn’t let anything in game with that brand he doesn’t personally love and let’s face it: it is a crowd pleaser.

    My thoughts on Starfield finally getting here! Some skills deep dive and more!

    I have to agree with Richard. Starfield is not based upon a great galactic war, nor a unified human Empire. It's more like Traveler--competing human factions, primarily involving exploration. In Star Wars, the exploration is supposedly competed millennia in the past. SC has as much Traveler...

    SQ42 development status

    The original timeline didn't include the Polaris as the need for it hadn't occurred to CIG yet. Mechanically, the Idris was intended to be the largest ship a small group of players would combine to fly in events like the Sons of Orion storyline. When the Idris outgrew that role, CIG decided to...

    Does CIG need to bring in a publisher? (video)

    Forgive me if I missed something here, but I was forced to skim a bit. I only see two issues here. First is whether CIG can bring Beta in before other engines like Unreal V make it obsolete. Sooner or later the day will come when the game looks so old it can't survive. There seems to be no...

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    “. . .Ive come to believe it’s not so much what you believe as how hard you believe it” is post-modernist nonsense and intellectual suicide, completely at odds with all previous characterizations of Indy. It’s very disappointing. It’s the opposite of what we have always seen in Indy, who has...

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    There is in a sense, no way to make this right. No matter how you tell the audience that Indy is over, they'll be upset. Given however they know as they do that this is absolutely the last film in the franchise, the closing scene really should be all about saying goodbye to our hero. Making it...

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    I have never heard anything about relations between Spielberg and Kennedy but I imagine them similarly strained. Best I can tell Steven is still a first generation feminist. I don’t see any sign in his work of hating on “The Patriarchy”. This really is the salient distinction. Mary Daly was...

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    I totally agree KK can and should be blamed if Indy V flops, but I don’t think the CEO needs an excuse to fire KK past all the failures she’s had the last ten years. I think on management’s part, firing her is contingent upon whether they’re ready to let go all she represents, including the...

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    There's a lot here. I would just quibble with the idea that Iger may want Indy V to fail. I find that exceedingly unlikely. Kennedy has been involved with gender ideology, radical feminist intersectionality and basic woke ideology for many years. I think Iger thought this is the way Western...

    Star Wars ffg Character Creation

    So here is a link to source materials for anyone interested: http://bastionkainssweote.blogspot.com/p/character-sheets.html What I'm thinking of for 6 characters (including the ship): 1) Four of the characters start with a POS ship that either gets stolen, or blown up. A few episodes in...

    Star Wars ffg Character Creation

    I'm toying around with pulling together a crew to run an online "show" based upon the Star Wars ffg roleplaying games, Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny. I love the gaming dynamic created by the narrative dice system, and I love the SW universe in general. I've watched...

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    Kinda reminds one that buying the Fiat instead of saving for the Jag seldom satisfies.

    Tractor beams and salvage game loops are going to be big! (Video)

    Someone from the big FB group is reporting they earned two million credits on a single salvage contract in just two hours. If true, I think this may be the game record high income per hour to date. Certainly it sounds like Montoya called this months ago.

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    I thought the first two seasons of Mando were good, and I still have high hopes for Asoka. The stuff Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have done seem to me consistently good, and the stuff Kathleen Kennedy has done seems consistently bad. Despite I would in a pinch blame all the crap at Disney on a...

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    Maybe you’re not old enough to care, but many of us grew up not only on Star Wars, but Indy. We’re sad to see it debased rather than simply laid to rest in honor. For those too young to remember, everyone said the franchise had run its course and each addition would necessarily suck when the...
