Watched the Starfield gameplay, when Todd Howard pulled out his space laser to mine iron ore it was like my soul left my body and i watched the rest of the trailer in a dissociative state.

I like Minecraft. It’s a good time. I also really like Satisfactory. But every single other game that has resource mining would be better off without it. It’s like hacking and lockpicking minigames, the only thing it can possibly offer to the player is a minute of annoyance - but with mining it’s often hours of annoyance.

    The 2 gun system actually makes some sense imo. It’s very simple for anyone playing on a controller, and introduces a decently natural sort of “balance”, where a rocket launcher type weapon might have a lot of punch but be less practical for extended use than, say, a rifle. I definitely prefer having an arsenal of chaos, but I am a PC gamer.

      Counterpoint: Doom Eternal makes a beautiful dance of a massive arsenal of weapons and I wouldn’t want it any other way no matter how convenient it would be for a controller.
