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 hope that unlike Fallout 4, Starfield has more encounters you can talk your way out of. It drove me crazy all the named Raiders with cool back stories that you only found out about through terminal entries and handwritten notes. Don’t get me wrong, I do want that sort of storytelling too, but it does sort of lend weight to the criticism that it’s too gun focused, and I am definitely timid about Starfield ending up the same way.

      That may be a possibility, but I worry that it will be a second-class citizen in a game that really, really wants you to shoot stuff.
