>>748229647What is Todd glorious justification for explaining that colonising the stars is a piece of cake but keeping the perfect planet in good conditions is impossible?
>>748229647This cost $450k to make
Why are you fags addicted to discussing bad games? It's shit, move on.Talking about it gives it more attention than it deserves.
>>748229647Where did all the other buildings go?
>>748229647Couldn't they have made some point of there being an organisation dedicated to maintaining a few old earth landmarks
>>748230739I mean the second half is very believable. Where i have trouble given current evidence is believing those who have both the means and desire to expand spaceward would ever be competent enough to do so successfully or at least convince competent enough people to do it for them
>>748230889Building 7 effect, don't question it
>>748230739As I recall, it was a hamfisted global warming analogy where the jump drive technology was destroying the earth because...just because okay! They updated the firmware after it was too late so it doesn't effect other planets but conveniently it ruined earth so they don't have to actually model the planet and multiple cities. These old landmarks were rebuilt after earth fell apart for some dumb reason I can't remember. That's the excuse for why they look so out of place.
>>748229647You can jetpack to the top and shove the radio tower up your ass, OP
>>748230889They were never there. The ESB was drawn in from a parallel universe.
>>748230739>>748231236in starfield they are sort of connected. they make a new spaceship engine that manipulates gravity to allow FTL travel, but testing the early grav drives in orbit around the moon fucked up earth's magnetosphere or some shit and basically gave the planet a 50 year timeline until death. humanity then spent those 50 years scrambling to build ships and stockpile supplies to colonize the stars
>>748231849Also the guy who discovered the technology knew that it could cause that but considered it worth the risk. He was the right by the way.
>>748229647I can't imagine what possible thought process led to just slapping down a mildly dilapidated building in the middle of a totally empty featureless desert and thinking that'd be a cool post-apocalyptic earth. this is literally the same fucking studio that made fallout 3.
Starfield is like that Action 52 nes cartridge except is even harder to find a fun planet (you won't).
>>748229647why the fuck would it be the only standing building lmao.... just so corny, man.
>>748230223You are my number one guy
>>748231849While starfield still looks like shit, this feels like a reasonable explanation at least
>>748229647>>748230223I'm convinced Starfield was just a test run for TES6 to see how much lazy game design bs they can get away with before consoomers finally stop buying their shit
>>748229647You can tell it used to be a big city because the other 7 structures in a bethesda city are gone. Peak environmental storytelling from Todd
>>748233714Impressive, very nice. Now do a comparison of town sizes in Ocarina of Time and see just how quickly Ninnydrones will run to its defense.
>>748233714>cloud "district">it's like three houses barely a hundred yards awayI never got what that guy was talking about
>>748229647Some of THEE best level design Ive ever seen.
why did just one building survive and nothing elseunironically asking, I never played saarfield and know nothing about it
>>748234280Kakariko is a village.
>>748230837Sorry Todd, we're not letting you live this dumpster fire of a game down any time soon.
>>748234727Early prototype FTL drives disrupted earth's gravitational field and stripped its atmosphere away.I'm not sure what anons are even expecting to portray this other than a desert though, do they think all of earth's cities should be fully modeled for what's essentially cosmetic?
Im kinda hijacking your threadIve spent the last few nights watching these videos about the history of Earthfor anyone curious:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIZ_Bq3x2mU&list=PLGwt44llguM2uAFKVgbcBrtwcGMsSD-ZG (playlist where you "travel" through the different eons epochs periods etc of earth, with (no ai) drawings made by the creatorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sbwUeTyDb0 ("boring billion years" explanation)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrrYInKV1i0 (showcase of animals and plants)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1hOdm0RJlY (about tectonic plates)
>>748235652For me it's The Great Dying.>volcanoes just keep going apeshit for millions of years>earth is boiling hot>entire ecosystems just deleted>90% of marine life gone>basically all land life gone except for some stupid hippos>not some baby shit like "civilization collapsed" or "nuclear winter", but the entire biosphere almost ragequitIt makes post-apoc stories look like child's play, doesn't get more shitfuck than that.
>>748235215so somehow all the buildings just magically got destroyed with no remnants, turned into dust, but the empire state building is basically unscathed with just a few small parts damaged for some reason
>>748231849Ok but how did that completely obliterate every building on earth except for a handful of specific skyscrapers and how did it transmute all other matter on earth into sand
>>748236234It's not the original building. All of NY was destroyed at some point and people came in and rebuilt it as a monument.
>>748236234Because the game's planetary generation and POI system supports that and fully modeling cities is unfeasible, I don't care about your brainlet watsonian nonsense.
>>748235652>>748236225Awesome reddit fairy tales. Remember to thank Charles Darwin and pray to Fauci.
>>748236657I'm sorry but the earth is just not 6000 years old and the creator of the universe did not tell a desert tribe to start mutilating their genitals
>>748236657Shouldn't you be donating to israeli widows instead of being a faggot here?
>>748230739The ability to space travel only unlocked if you destroy earth apparently.

>>748230837Because shitting on bad games is fun, duh. If that makes you uncomfortable you can leave.
>>748236457Well you're talking about the same company that made "cities" in Oblivion and Skyrim that consist of around ten buildings. Earth has the minimum it needs to be a location you visit once or twice as a novelty and that's it.
>>748237695It's sad but true.
>>748237504Find me something even closely similar, I'll wait.https://youtu.be/XAqkTbw15Kw?si=pa0hkdNfaNatKRAt
Behold! New Atlantis! The sprawling capital metropolis and largest city of the United Colonies! Behold it's monumentally massive spaceport with an incredible three (3!) landing pads for spaceships!Look at that skyline! It has over eight (8!) skyscrapers that are a few hundred feet tall, incredible!Just look at that endless suburban sprawl surrounding this absolutely colossal cityscape! How did Todd Howard manage to create one of the most expansive and vast megalopolis in the history of gaming? Truly the man is a genius!
>>748229647>And on the pedestal these words appear:>These are my works, okay? My beautiful works. Nobody's ever made works like these. People often tell me, wow, you know, you have the best works. Everybody knows that.>Look upon my works, ye mighty, or ye loser, as I call it. Some people call it ye mighty, I call it ye loser. Look at my big beautiful works and despair. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

>>748237810>king james biblelmaoWon't even bother watching the video, you're a literal joke.
>>748237982MANY SUCH CASES
>>748237979to be fair, earth had a 50 year window to prepare for space colonization so i can suspend my disbelief a bit and accept that the most impressive cities of the settled systems are sort of small and lame compared to the most impressive cities of earth.
>>748237979it's so funny to me how it's just sitting there surrounded by fuckall in every directionlike there isn't even a single damn road leading out of or into the city and there is nothing else on the entire fucking planet lmfao
>>748237979Don't you guys have imaginations?
>>748230889where did all the concrete foundations go? where did all the intricate pipeworks only a couple feet below ground go? where did all the multiple layers of roadwork go? where did the rubble of any of this go?not a soul in the bethesda offices ever once asked those questions
>>748236457Everything turns to sand at some point
>>748240984Yeah it's like some luxury resort, not a city. If ES6 is not a proper upgrade to Bethesda's shit formula I'm gonna kms.
>>748242060except for the empire state building, ordained by god to be eternal and constructed from plasmasteel and adamantium
>>748240984What gets me is the setting. What a boring place it is, like it's just in the middle of a small waterfall with a few trees around and that's it. There's no magnificent landscapes or anything, of all places to build a city on a giant planet with all the space in the world why choose this location when you have FTL spacetravel and could just build it wherever you want?
sorry what was that anon, i couldn't hear you over the sound of my paid and locally run LLMs shitting out better code than jeethesda and obsidijeet ever could>entire walkable city>hundreds of streets and hidden alleys>dynamic district based culling and LOD system>lot-aware building placement>'historically' accurate building materials, textures, and architecture styles (with consideration of the tools avilabile) building design system>free online now >i like playing it better than any AAA corposhit
>>748241054did the game designers? what the fuck are you talking about, maybe this is todd speaking here>there is an endless amount of content in this game, you only need to imagine it...wowee
>>748230223BRAHMIN EXCELLENCE SAAR TIMMY IS TOO LAZY TO DO THIS
>>748241054i have nightmares..
>>748235652>>748236225Man, as much as I want to believe how accurate any of this shit is, scientists and paleontologists can't even accurately reconstruct dinosaurs from their skeletons lmao. And up until 50 years ago, they all thought dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
not tryna to hijack threads here but i dont think you guys get whats happening behind the scenesall of the gatekeeping by corps and Todd (literally what his games are about) are falling apart because for 200/month one guy can build a game engine from scatchtake 5-10 of those guys and put them in room and you can build a game (like wardogs or anything else that all of you are playing today)literally even game/movie studio/company is using AI and this Starshit and Jeet Theft Auto stuff will be the last 'round' of bad game design because the cost to write amazing code is zerobut put some talent and artists and actual game designers together without the need for a huge apparatus to just get some polygons on screen will only make the quality of the product go up over timebear through the slop now beacuse on the other side of the slop waterfall is fucking treasurescreenshot this
>>748229647KINOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>748242189It's Trump Tower actually but the model was copyrighted.
>>748232069Only because it turned out that there actually were other planets out there that weren't literal hell worlds.
>>748241054I shouldn't have to imagine the game being good
>>748238005>I'll prove it wrong by posting a wojakI know you're baiting, but thanks for the laugh
>>748229647The shitty part is that the whole reason they did a single building is because they fucked up their procgen and couldn't manually make their own presets outside a single tile.
>>748243629so the solution was to do literally fucking nothing? to not add anything in manually, to do nothing else at all? that's not an excuse, that's just a reason to be laid off
>>748237695Yes actually. The vast majority of human beings are very happy to be pure animal instinct that can just about survive in society by going with the flow and never questioning their conditioning or pre-conceived notions. Very few people make conscious decisions.
>>748238005>kill yourself for not believing in fanfiction of a jewish religion.
>>748229647Why would only this building be standing when there's hundreds nearby it at nearly the same height and with arguably higher structural integrity due to being built more recently?
>>748233307It's for sure is the test run for the procedural generation systems intended to employ a bake variety of locations like in braggardoll 2th elden ringlordd
>>748244215they had some bullshit copout explanation along the lines of they rebuilt iconic structures on earth after it got all fucked up or something like that
>New York City after muslims drained the treasury and slain all the white menStarfield is lore accurate
>>748236457The explanation is unfiltered solar winds but in reality it's because they didn't want to model the entire planet.
>>748244024Are you saying you can only be misanthropic if you're not religious? Thanks for proving that heckin based soience is actually a demoralization campaign.
>>748244813idk what you're talking about, schizo
>>748244954Read the reply chain instead of replying to the latest post zoomtroon.
>>748244530That's the most retarded cope I've ever read. Bethesdrones will suck Todd's willie until the end of time. Sucks too because that's why we're at this point when this was supposed to be his magnum opus lol dumbasses have to stop slurping every turd that gets shat out.
>>748244215You're asking questions that the developers themselves didn't think to ask
>>748245032I did and you're still a schizo
>>748244719>entire planet becomes sandchad landseethe more babytry fighting back every once in a while?
>>748230223>for the weekThis is literally three months of work inputted directly into Jira, you really think those lazy ass motherfuckers would let a golden opportunity of slacking the hell off run past them? And remember, around 20 or 30 women worked 3 months on this shit, btw.
Without proper maintenance, skyscrapers would collapse within a few decades of humans leaving them alone. Any post-apoc setting that has giant skyscrapers still around is nonsense.
>>748229647Can you confirm this is New York, and humans didn't move Empire State Building into Dubai as a prank for future archeologists before leaving the planet?
>>748246983This.

>>748247942It's not just that>comparing the "commercial heart" of the region versus some random shit town
why do they keep fucking up cities? it doesnt even need to be fully explorable and 99% of it can just be a backdrop
>>748229647literally the dumbest thing everall they needed was the ruins of the statue of liberty. less work, makes far more sense, and a classy film reference
>>748248728you'd be surprised the amount of draw calls to build what you have there in 2d, in 3dthere will always need to be shortcuts and illusionsgames are not real, they are constructed as an illusion, and games that convince you of that illusion are games that are good
>>748229647Skyscrapers would not be standing after 300 years lmao>>748231256>building 7 effectStealing this
>>748248818it takes, literally, minutes to scratch make a basic panoramic 2d texture to feign having a city in the distance, or a skybox, whatever there's many options, imagine early in dev you set up a toolchain to create these skyboxes on level finalization, slightly longer build time, then you have a low call facsimile of LoD that runs even on a ps1it's just laziness/lack of imagination
>>748248818Consoles and PCs are about 1000x faster than they were in 2007, yet nobody can manage to make a believable city backdrop anymore because of draw calls?
>>748237979>>748241054Star Citizen 10 years ago
>>748244530Look chud, the bomb fell into a pre-existing crater, ok?
>>748241054i think you are joking/quoting blizzard but i actually agree with the idea. starfield's lore and setting is admittedly pretty generic and dull but it allows me to RP in a way that i just can't when playing something like mass effect. in mass effect, you are commander shepherd, former war hero saving the galaxy from the reapers. in starfield i am john starfield, a morally-questionably bounty hunter with a checkered past just trying to make my way in the universe. it is super comfy
>>748250052>Star Citizen 10 years agoAnd still not released yet.
>>748249826you cant have a 2D background in a BGS RPG
>>748249826that illusion breaks down the moment you move the cameraand if you didnt move the camera you'd bitch that 'its a movie game hurrrrrrr'>>748250028yes.every game is in a boxthey do that now and it looks like shitthe only way to solve this is to build technology aka more advance software aka break outside of the limits imposed by unrealshit and Haloenginecrapall this stuff is a math problem with art on top
>>748251051>the illusion of a skybox breaks down the moment you move the camerayou aren't actually this retarded, are you?
>>748251182prove me wrong thenstop being a bitch and be the person you want everyone else to be
>>748250052>Star Citizen
>>748250052I still wanna know why Bethesda couldn't just make a procedurally generated city enviornment like this to add to a few planets, and maybe turn Earth into an ecumenopolis. Or alternatively, make a ruined city world full of all the various abandoned buildings we normally run into.In fact that sounds like it would've made way more sense than every planet in the galaxy being inexplicably full of random buildings and scattered structures that aren't attached to anything.
>>748251430what a raped response lmfao, literally>do the retarded dev's work for them!! for free!!!nah i'm not a janny i'm good
>>748251601cause what you want is impossible dumbassstfu when someone speaks to you on a topic which you are unfamiliar
>>748251839>a parralax texture generated from level geometry is impossiblelmfao the raped only becomes more raped
yeah the tallest building will stand while all the low to the ground stable structures are BTFO
>>748242661Dinosaurs having feathers is a myth for th most part. They're literally found fossilised skin, where do you think they got the idea for how dinosaurs looked?
>>748233714Fallout 4 comes and they are like>Fuck it you build the settlements now
>>748229647wow how crazy that literally everything on earth got turned into dust but that one single skyscraper managed to stay mostly intact
>>748248430How big do you think a modern day 3d design team is? Between the 7 layers of middle management, the level designer, the concept artists, the 10 3d modelers, the animators, the rigging designer, the audio designer, the diversity commissar, the 10 different consultants, the assigned HR officer, the team lead, every single of the layers lead, the scrum master, the technical advisor, the tech lead, etc. I might be missing some bullshit roles, but that might be around the average composition of every American big tech team.
>>748233714I genuinely don't mind these small towns in Skyrim. They just didn't make sense in Starfield. Like this one city has skyscrapers and a subway system for a grand total of 100 NPCs. But the procedurally generated content is what really made it suck.
>>748236225>stupid hipposdon't insult your ancestors
>>748239410That's just it. A small unimpressive city would make sense. What doesn't make sense is a dense urban city block surrounded by empty plains. It's like if you removed every building from las Vegas except the strip casinos. And then put in a subway line between the MGM grant and the Bellagio. Normally this is where art direction should take over and say stop. But if you have worked in these corporate gigs you know they don't encourage tension. So me bringing up this inconsistency would not result in a thought provoking exchange of ideas but an HR meeting about my hostility in the workplace.
>>748250052You see all those buildings in the distance?You can't go in any of them.
>>748257604I'd still take that as the lesser of two evils over a 7 building "city" desu
>>748257757I wouldn't, which is why I didn't fall for scam citizen. An infinite procgen city is a parlor trick you can do in a week.
>>748229647>Paris in 12022 years (you can't go inside)
>>748257836videogames are an illusiona city you can't interact with is a better illusion than a "city" of 4 houses where everyone has a broken sandbox ai and they repeat the same 2 lines to you over and over and over an
>>748229647I wish New York looked like this today! Los Angeles too.
>>748258240I'll take a literal desert over a metaphorical desert that's only designed to look like something it isn't.
>>748257604You can enter handful which are handcrafted, not that there's much to do inside them. I think that's enough for the rest of the city to just be there when you look around or fly over.
>>748229647desu there was no real way to put Earth, even a ruined Earth into a game where you can land anywhere. But I don't get why they even let the player land on it. They should have just made some excuse for why it's impossible to land on. If they had to, they could let you dock at a station where you could space-elevator down on foot into a contained cell with a cool backdrop. If it was an unlivable hellhole it might have made for a cool endgame area.The lame ass infinite desert is just meme material
>>748237695maybe the meaning is to evolve? you can start today by shedding your delusional beliefs.
>>748229647Starfield is full of creatively dorky decisions like this. I cringed every time I flew around the sparkly dust and then did an epic pose once I unlocked my Starhkiin powers. And that stupid cowboy theme park town where one of the quests I remember helping some little girl catch some petty burglar I just quit
>>748247942Whiterun has a couple more polygons than Kakariko, in case you haven't noticed.They both sell the illusion fine when you're playing the game, and that's what matters.
>>748234284>I didn't get it.Well yeah. (You) wouldn't.
>>748255709Oh you mean somewhere in the entire fucking company, maybe in the pipeline, there were 20-30 women. Sure, I thought you meant that amount actively worked on things
>>748242775god hates a coward/fortune favors the bold/heaven helps those who help themselves etc
>>748229647That's the most Bethesda image ever.https://youtu.be/amtsN-NRqwM?t=1627
>>748260340>They both sell the illusion fineYes, Todd, we know you love to sell illusions. But Whiterun is an objectively shitty city for how supposedly large and bustling it's claimed to be.
>>748229647Looks good!
>>748229647why the fuck would a single building survive earth's magnetosphere getting vaporized while all the surrounding buildings get pulped into sand?If the rest of the ruins are just covered by tons of sand then why the fuck is the entrance to the building at ground level and not covered as well? Why would any of that happen in just 300 years?Why do they simply not think at bethesda?
>>748258290nta but i'd take a procgen city in starfield paired with bethesda's radiant quest systems. something like night city but with a shitload of different radiant quests sending you all over. not every city has to be like that, but exploring it would be a nice change of pace. like the coruscant of starfield
>>748263959that's just daggerfall (it sucks)
>>748229647Thanks Todd...
>>748231849>but testing the early grav drives in orbit around the moon fucked up earth's magnetosphere or some shitMust've been some powerful grav drive to fuck up the earth's core all the way from the moon
>>748229647Emil, you fucking hack
>>748241054>just imagine if the game was good
Microsoft will kill Bethesda if tes6 doesn’t sell hotcakes
>>748242641>Shills said Todd fixed the game>After 3 years these abominations still in the game
>>748230223I remember when Shartfield was in production and anons would say we should expect multiple Skyrim-sized worlds to explore. I'm glad TES6 will likely be their last game.
>>748264557the original grav drive technology utilized one of the macguffin alien artifacts that grants gravity-based powers to the player, so presumably there was some sort of ridiculously powerful gravity fuckery going on
>>748229647what's the lore behind earth's destruction again? why is a desert and why are there a few surviving monuments? that part makes no fucking senseand I believe they handled the "mystery behind earth" like total shit, I wish they did it so differently, there's a game called technomancer where it's believed that Earth will one day save the colony on Mars, despite Earth not making contact with them, it gets revealed in the end that Earth has been completely destroyed, it is now a small asteroid field if you couldn't explore earth except see some shitty "Life After People" esque monuments, they should have done that and destroyed the Earth outright
>>748265628I remember the anons going >the maps are uhhhh not procgen because they uhhhhh were genned in development and you can go to the same rock asset in the middle of the desert in anyone's game
>>748237979It's amazing how nothing in Starfield looks any more impressive than what Skyrim modders could have done given enough time and resources. Just a stunningly unambitious game in every way.
>>748240984akila city is a bit better for this, as there are farms and giant space windmills and mountains/hills all around, so it feels like a more natural part of the landscape
>>748229647If the entire planet was a desert all of those buildings should have eroded or you would have massive ruins everywhere. Not just random landmarks standing out everywhere. God Todd Howard sucks.
>>748242060Sure but that wouldn't leave just *one* building. The Empire State Building isn't constructed from some magic super material unknown to the rest of New York. If they were going to be this lazy they should have just had the entire thing be gone.
>>748231849>>748232069if the guy received premonitions about the future, why didn't he also use the knowledge he received to fix the glitch before testingthen you can have space travel as well as an intact earth and the stupid moral dilemma would be avoided
>>748230223King shit
>>748229647Was the building made of plastic or something? Why has every building disintegrated besides this one?
>>748265165i know the tortanicfags are already revving up their sybians, but the sequel to skyrim is obviously going to do retarded numbers
>>748267826i could be wrong but i think i remember the guy saying something along the lines that he had to take away humanity's choice to leave earth or we never would have, we'd have stayed here and slowly died off together
>>748267460If it was powerful enough to destabilize earth's magnetosphere then the moon would've been devastated because they testing the fucking thing in lunar orbit. But the dumbass writer didn't even mention the earth's core, just magnetosphere, so who knows what was going on.
>>748265628and then they said that modders will port every other bethesda game into sf, so you'd have a morrowind planet where you could just play morrowind with guns, and a fallout 4 planet, and a skyrim planet, etc.They were, uh, a little bit off in their projections.
What's also funny about saarfield is the idea that people would just completely abandon Earth when they settled on places like mars where humans still can't walk on the surface without a suit. Like nobody is trying to re-terraform earth or construct an artificial magnetosphere or even exploit all the existing mineral wealth that Earth has because everyone thinks it's in poor taste or something.
>>748268270>Modders started abandoning the game en masse within the first month after release because the game was boring as hellAlso a very funny sign that even in the run-up to the game, everyone was already expecting that it would be so flawed that we'd need to rely on fans working for free to fix it.
>>748235652ginkgo traces is a pretty good channel
What would have been better is that Earth is considered off-limits and that one needs special dispensation from the UC to approach or land, enforced by automated defenses and permanent fleet presence/monitoring
>>748267831Feels good to work from home and just type in Slack that you’re leaving for a few hours for whatever reason to skip out on some meetings.
>>748233714>>748234280JRPGs have towns/cities all the fucking time that are literally 2 buildingsi don't understand the autism over skyrim cities, every fucking game does it, do you really think that shit would have ran on a ps3 back in the day if the cities were bigger and open? it already had a massive memory bug where the save file would keep getting bigger and bigger, consoles would have died
>>748230739Forget that, I want to hear the explanation for why they decided to bring australian abos into space.Did they need people to huff the surplus rocket petrol?
>>748269047>JRPGs have towns/cities all the fucking time that are literally 2 buildingsName 10 right now.
>>748241054Yeah, I'm imagining something real nice: not playing this stupid shitty FUCKIN' game! What were they THINKING?!
>>748229647Prove this wont happen. You cant.Checkmate.
>>748269047the problem is that daggerfall happened
>>748270727Get your chatgpt to generate that a couple more times til at least the spelling is correct retard
>>748250398this is why i was so saddened by how bad the engine/generation and planetary travel/exploration system was handled in starfield. It had the potential to be a gold mine. Generic sci-fi setting with no real established lore or races. Could have been a pure modders paradise. Could have made it whatever the hell you wanted it to be without worrying about lore accuracy or whatever else. Turn it into whatever setting you want it to be.Unfortunately the game was so fucking bland and poorly made that even the modders were like, yea its not worth the time to do anything with it. Its a bethesda game i often actually forget exists.
>>748236578that would be even more stupid
>>748230223You forgot the part where this takes 7 developers 3 months to achieve.
>>748230739If earth wasn't fucked you would need to model the entire thing. That's a lot of work.
>>748230889Clearly a rich Saudi prince bought the building and had it unbuilt and shipped to another planet.
>>748229647I still can't believe how bad, uninspired and forgettable this game was.It's the first Bethesda game I played that I just put down 50 hrs in.Even fallout 4 was enjoyable to a degree despite how watered down it was Stanfield had zero charm to it, I pirated the game and felt like I got ripped off.

>>748269047>JRPGs have towns/cities all the fucking time that are literally 2 buildingsA small village is fine as long as the plot doesn't claim it's a huge capital.
>>748229647>this is actually in the game and not a shitpost
>>748229647>(you can’t go inside)no shit it's a picture you retard
>>748278615>he can't go inside picturesmassive skill issue
>>748261616I mean, do you really believe that shit was made by a single person? Probably there were a dozen 3d designers there, each making an asset that's shown there, probably there were 5 or 6 people involved in making the tower. Basically they distribute each asset into one person each, the big ones probably have several people making them in steps, this is basically so you don't get burnt doing a single thing for too much time, plus it takes less time, also they can just make one person then assemble everything into one map or model.
This is great level design at work. One of the best planets to visit and when you get there youre welcomed by an amazing breath taking assault on the senses, this is earth? What happened? When? Why? For the curious mind its thrilling seeing our home planet displayed in such manner. It leaves a mark in ones mind, a memory if you will, that will stay with the player for the rest of their life.
>>748231236nah I dont think it makes sense any way you try to frame it because its a basic reasoning issue. If they can colonize and expand outward then the logical thing that will happen is everything that went wrong on Earth will strike them twice as hard with no base to draw resources from. So even if it hypothetically works out well initially, the long term issues of Earth will be repeated over time. And that is assuming that the breakaway geniuses are actually brilliant and not fart sniffing pompous retards. So some other anons pointed out in the lore the scifi tech destroyed earth, the same tech that makes expansion possible. So when the new worlds they are living on start fucking up and they try expanding again.... it will become a cycle.
At least the in-game explanation for why the NASA facility was still there was because a Relic was under it and was emitting a MAGICAL FORCE FIELD that somehow kept the place standingany other building still standing was just Emil said "wouldn't it be cool if Fallout reference?"

>>748259206They could've just said we triggered a runaway greenhouse effect.
>>748229647Todd Howard, he is the kingOf making promises he cannot hope to keepFeatures won’t make it in, but you don’t careYou’ll buy the expansions anyway
>>748250052I almost fell for the BedBananas propaganda but luckily I was too poor to buy a decent enough PC to run the game. Do you think the devs paid him under the table to make those videos?
>>748230739The Earth was made uninhabitable by greenhouse gases. Fortunately we had the foresight to kill off all the chuds before we colonized all the other planets so it wasn't a problem afterwards.
>>748234280The video game on a 32 MB cartridge has a village roughly the size of Whiterun, a huge city of a 12 GB video game.Let's that sink in. A village from a 32 MB video game can be compared favorably with Whiterune. Have you any idea how insane that looks like?
>>748230223This but unironically. Office workers are all like this which is why fucking nothing gets done in this economy anymore. No-one has any incentive to do more than the bare fucking minimum to not get firedt.Office worker. On paper I run shit but I spend most of my day looking at WWE clips on Youtube shorts.
>post-ww3, unified global government and later ftl travel earth kind of became economically irrelevant and is treated as a backwater nature reserve while humans have fucked off to better planets elsewhere>except for the earth cultist assholesjapanese boomer sci-fi did it better.
