What is up everyone and welcome to the win show. We have a great topic lined up for you guys today. Luke and I both got some

0:12.0

quality is a strong word, but we got some time in with Starfield already, so we're gonna talk about that a little bit.

0:18.0

Yeah, my the quality was a little low for me. So we're talking about that. We've also got

0:24.0

Oh, right. I guess we should acknowledge the weird thumbnail. Oh, yeah, Intel's quality in Starfield is a little questionable. So we'll be talking about that.

0:34.0

In other news, I fix it has brought the fight for right to repair to McDonald's tearing down one of their infamous ice cream machines. So we'll be talking about that. What else we got today?

0:44.0

The Legion go handheld has been announced and it looks potentially quite interesting. Also, games right now are crazy. That's just going to be a general topic that we have starfield sea of stars.

0:57.0

Suspecial sea similar names. Yeah, we've got field and seas. Yeah. So next is going to be

1:03.0

a star. Don't forget about the citizen of star. Oh, we got that one already desert of stars. Yeah, Tundra of stars.

1:10.0

Okay, there's a lot of biomes chill star chill forest of stars. We're really good at naming games. What else we got? No, I did too. Good. I actually thought of two this time.

1:40.0

Yeah. And it's gone. UPDF and kudos. Kudos. Why don't we jump right into the big topic? I mean, who in the game atmosphere is not

1:56.0

amped about starfield right now? Who in the game atmosphere is not amped right now? Who is who is even watching the when show right now?

2:04.0

I got some comments of people saying like, hey, just check it in, but I can't really keep watching because there's too much dialogue in starfield. See you later. Can you explain something to me? Yeah. How is it that you already have like six hours logged?

2:16.0

Well, because I have personally spent like most of your waking hours with you since the game launched. Can you explain this to me? I was at your house until like six. Uh-huh.

2:30.0

I went home and played until like midnight. I see. I went to sleep. And then I saw you this morning. And we played more stars. And we played more starfield. Okay, cool. Why don't we run through what's in our notes here? And then we'll talk a little bit about Luke's experience and also my experience.

2:45.0

I got stuck in a ship already. That was actually cool. That took me way longer in star citizen. Yes. Bethesda starfield is available through early access and is set to come out more generally on Wednesday September the sixth reviews are already out and are generally positive though.

3:00.0

Some community discourse. Okay. Oh, uh, has been centered around comparisons to no man sky star citizen as well as other Bethesda games and hasn't been especially positive. One particular fact and tons of things.

3:16.0

One particular pain point was the fact that players cannot walk the circumference of starfields 1000 planets. How dare they.

3:26.0

I mean, you can land anywhere on a planet, but outside of pre-established sites like cities, the game mixes procedurally generated and handcrafted elements to create a limited area that you can explore on foot, which by some reports is actually bigger than the entire map of Fallout 4.

3:44.0

So this complaint. I don't care about this little bit clearly at all. If you want to spend actually hours walking in a particular direction, finding nothing like okay.

3:59.0

I think if there's anything that gamers have proven over the years, it's that they will someone's going to want to they do want to. But there's very likely in my opinion, it's going to be some mod that allows you to do it anyways.

4:09.0

Also, you could walk up to a certain point and then like just getting your ship and move it and then just keep walking if you wanted. You could circumnavigate a planet, but it's moving your ship a bunch of times.

4:19.0

A slightly more legitimate concern criticism concerns the in game map, particularly in cities. And I have a link here. It apparently looks like this. Oh, that is very unfortunate.
