Is anyone else sick and tired of how many games these days are focused around gun fighting? IMO, FPS games haven’t markedly improved since the original counter strike which I played as a CHILD. Frankly, I just wish we could all stop obsessing over guns and come up with something new.
Granted, there are lots of non-gun games. I guess I mostly take offense to Starfield because it feels so out of place.
I mean, this has always been Bethesda’s “thing”. They make RPGs. I grew up making incredibly dumb character builds in Oblivion where I’d bounce around rooms dodging fireballs and karate chopping people with a character that looked like Patrick Stewart.
On the other hand, I get it, Bethesda’s “strongsuit” has always been exploration, lore, environmental storytelling, just living in a world… and I think Eastshade is a cool take on how to make a game that’s just about that.
