It feels very empty I found. Even with other people. I get the same vibe from other survival games like Conan Exiles.
Just not my bag I guess.
BSG was such a good show and they covered some pretty controversial topics (The occupation episodes especially).
I was however very disappointed with how it ended.
I just realised I'd made a post about one of my favourite shows just before seeing yours.
Space: Above and Beyond which is available on YouTube these days.
A really solid show.
I'm also very much enjoying The Orville at the moment.
The Witcher 3.
It just feels so generic and suffers from one of the things I hate the most about rpgs. Endless sidequests that have nothing to do with the main quest.
Cyberpunk 2077. The first part was really enjoyable. Then you get to the open world part and it suffers from the same issue as the Witcher above and also has fiddly levelling up/skill tree. Also it's overwhelming. You're on a mission. The phone calls. Sone rando wants you for a job. Start job. The phone calls. There's an out of control ai taxi...repeat. Just too much information at once and mostly for stuff unrelated to the fact your character has a very personal and important mission.
Survival/Builder games I find incredibly boring.
Not so much a smile, more of a 'WTF?! 🤣😂🤣😂'.
THAT quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance with the Priest.
I'm not a big reader these days but back in the 90's I was. The ones that really stuck with me and have been reread once or twice.
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks
Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith
I honestly do not like the RPG mechanic of levelling up/buying skills, especially in FPS games. I'd rather have a Half Life experience over levelling.
I'm also not a fan of side quests. I find it breaks the immersion when you're character is on some crazy, world saving overall quest but sure, I can spend time to find that random thing for you.
