Yeah no, I think I can easily play a game without.

Compare the videos linked elsewhere in this thread, the CP scenes are just so much richer. The starfield ones feel really fake imo.

I'm speaking more in general, not as a comparison between cyberpunk 2077 and starfield, there are plenty of games that do not have dark themes, and I don't think that any of that is required to make a good game.

I think you're intentionally missing the point being made.

None of games without these elements feel real. Not everybody prefer polished Disney-like worlds, thank you very much.

I mean if you only play games that needs to feel real than you are really limiting yourself.

Todd was the one saying Starfield was going to be realistic.

Instead you're Buck Rogers

I have more than 200 games in my Steam library, I’m good, thank you.

Yeah and I imagine that all of them have sex, nudity, drugs/junkies, extreme violence in it otherwise they would be polished Disney-like worlds.

Yeah, that’s right. Do you have any other questions? It’s going to be a fun discussion with your desire to reduce everything to absurdity.

A man of his word but no I don't believe that.

Who cares?

You evidently ahah

Ok let’s play a game - whoever leaves the last comment wins. You didn’t win by using “reduce to absurdity”, maybe you’ll win now? Let’s find out.

Definitely not every game but a space rpg? It’s basically cutting out anything that humans genuinely find interesting on a primal level.
