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.

    I really disagree on both points. I don’t see why I should be exploring the galaxy by mass murdering everything in it.

    And Skyrim is definitely 100% about the combat. Every single mechanic serves that purpose.

      Have you tried No Man’s Sky? I’ve been having a fun time being a pacifist space explorer cataloging all sorts of random creatures, plants, and rocks. Only a handful of hours of playtime but so far it looks like the combat is optional.

        I have. I found that it was a little too repetitive and shallow, but it was fun for a while. Tbh I had hoped that Starfield would aim to be a better version of NMS.

          That’s exactly what I was hoping for too haha, No Man’s Sky with more NPCs that you can have interesting conversations with. Aw well
