I'm seeing this sentiment a lot recently with the number of legendary game directors making their long-awaited return to a beloved franchise. But let's be real: as long as the game is funded by a major holdings company (such as Take Two Interactive, this game's publisher) it's not going to be any less "accessible", "watered-down", whatever you wanna call it, than its predecessors. The ONLY hope for that lies in true indie games. That said I'm sure this will be a very worthwhile and fun game. I'm just very skeptical of the "return to the glory days" type of hype.

It was interesting to hear your take on this compared to Skill Up. I am now even more hyped about this game than I was before. It sounds AMAZING. One thing you mentioned that Skill Up talked about more is the "psudo-procedural" element. Based on his description, it sounds like they are taking another crack at what Bethesda tried and failed to do with Starfield: procedural presentation of curated events. What you run into will be determined procedurally, but the actual content is curated. This is very much like what planetary exploration was supposed to be like for Starfield. I was a great concept, but the one big issue is that, if you are going to do this, then the number of different curated events must be VERY large. This is where Bethesda failed HARD. If Judas can get this right, we are looking at one of the most interesting and potentially immersive experiences ever created for a game. I can't wait.

But it was forgiven because they were such great games. But I really hope there’s more than animatronic chefs and giraffe things with some toasters tossed in for good measure. More diversity in that aspect would be much appreciated. Some large bosses and some messed up cyborg janitors or something lol

If they all amount to just 2 or 3 different total stories , 1 for each faction with a few deviations along the path it’s effectively no different than mass effect. But it sounds like they’ve put a lot of effort into what they’re trying do so very keen to see what they’ve done
