Aesthetically, Markarth. Also the house there holds the largest number of books, so if youre going to be collecting books along the way, thats a thing.

Functionally, like someone said above, I used Whiterun as my hub between quests. Two places to sell your weapons and armor as soon as you enter the city, and if I cant sell everything else to Belethor then the Riverwood Trader is usually a sufficient second stop. Also your house is right there at the entrance as well, if you want to store some stuff. Whiterun is just oozing with convenience, and thats a big deal in a game where you spend like 1/4 of your time scrolling through your inventory and menus.
White run also features most prominently in the story compared to other cities. Multiple story quests and side quests have you go there. It's also conveniently dead center in the map.

If you do it through the actual doctor treatments for it for depression, it's perfectly safe and very effective. You're monitored the entire time.

Recreational though, be careful, it's a sedative and can OD on it if you're not careful.

Pokemon. It'll last you longer, it's 50 hours, Star Wars is 20 hours. Star Wars will be $20 soon enough, while Pokemon will always be expensive.
Star Wars length can be longer than that if you like to explore. There's a lot of optional areas to find and explore. I spend more time exploring for secrets than I do actually doing the stormy

Easily the game's strongest aspect tbqh. You actually want to find all the little nooks and crannies to explore, find saber parts, outfits, lore stuff, etc. And as you unlock new abilities, new areas on each planet become available, actually making you want to go back to older areas/planets and see what you can find. I found a giant ass puzzle that's completely skippable this way, and it was a lot of fun to solve. Also as you progress, you unlock more shortcuts, and different changes to the planets. Such as opening up wind vents all over the place on one planet that allow for higher traversal and stuff.

As I've gotten older, exploration has become one of my most treasured aspects of games, and this is hitting all the right spots in that regard.

Dude if you're having fun, that's great. I just read the review a few minutes before posting, so it was fresh in my mind.

As for me, that review was enough for me to sleep on it for now. I have so many games right now in my pipe as it is. Still wanna play Control.
The Eurogamer one? Yeah I read that one too, it's the only one that's really saying those things though too. But you do know Eurogamer is particularly tough on like, every game, right? I always take their stuff with a grain of salt. Now, if ACG says that, it's a different story. He's really good about explaining flaws.

I'm enjoying it. I just finished a planet and its pretty fun. Then again, I'm big on Star Wars. The exploration is my favorite part so far.
I went to dathomir first to get the double bladed saber and just ran past everything. Had to follow a video for the path to it since the world's are so huge and elaborately laid out. Now I'm back to where the story wants me lol.

According to reviews, this exact thing may happen.

Looks pretty, but moment-to-moment gameplay gets stale, and the writing is just entirely rote and safe.
Nah, I was pretty meh on outer worlds from the jump. It's gameplay was just so simple and uninteresting compared to its inspirations. I beat the game and just kinda don't care for it. Even the story got boring after a while..

Jedi fallen order is excellent so far. The level of exploration is crazy. Metroidvania style with so many nooks and crannies to explore.

Doom_Art posted...
That happened with Outer Worlds.

Got excited when it came out and everyone seemed to like it, then I played a bunch of it the weekend I got it but when I came back to it a week or so later I was burned out and realized I saw the game as kinda meh.
Honestly, if you like dark souls/sekiro style combat, metroidvania style exploration, and star wars, you'll enjoy it. Im having a blast, something I couldn't say for outer worlds.

The Disney trilogy is absolutely chock-full of parallels and references to the original trilogy, but one thing we have not seen yet is for something we took for granted about a character's backstory to only be "true from a certain point of view". This could be it.

At least according to the "leaks" that people seem to be going by in this thread, Rey takes the Skywalker name at the end of the film. The leaks don't mention her being revealed to have any blood connection to the family, nor does she marry in or anything. I think the idea is that this is supposed to be about founding some kind of clan or something.
Very possible. The Jedi are done, Luke was adament of this. Rey may start a new good guy force group, with more realistic ideals while still being light side

KOTOR 2 is probably the single deepest, darkest, most philosophical story in all of star wars, and that has less to do with star wars, and more to do with obsidian's writing. While I do wish more star wars stuff would delve into things like that, it's not what star wars typically is or ever really will be.

Tbqh, I think a lot of people who say these things grew up playing star wars games like kotor/kotor 2, reading EU books, watching clone wars TV show, etc. All sources of some of the best writing in star wars, and it spoiled them into thinking its more than it actually is. The movies have never been all that deep or emotional. They've always been fairly simple and family friendly.

"go to dathomir(Darth maul's home world) right away as soon as you can choose your next planet. You won't be able to explore much here yet as it's an end of game world with some of the games toughest enemies, and most of it is blocked off without unlocking abilities first. However, you can quickly and easily get the double bladed lightsaber upgrade here right away with minimal effort, and then be able to use it right away at the start, which makes dealing with groups of enemies much easier. There are other places to get this upgrade later on, but this is the fastest and earliest you can get it. "
