the issue is it also makes it really hard for content creators

summer furnace
#

man

steep tulip
#

and in the end should we really condone people saying slurs

summer furnace
#

I don't like it either

#

it becomes fully deserving a punishment if they did that to someone innocent

Starfield moderation when

tribal sinew
#

if anyone in this discord spoils starfield

#

im going to remove your hair

lost kelp
#

Starfield will have planets

#

And Spaceships

tribal sinew
#

i just realized that i might have to preorder that damn game today

#

cuz spoilers will be everywhere

#

fuck

lost kelp
#

It'll be like any other Bethesda game

#

Do bazillion side quests

#

And then remember that there's a main story

polar wren
#

No man sky expedition is out now

tribal sinew
#

it will be glorious

#

game of da year

sacred iron
tribal sinew
#

i could go 5 days without playing the game tbh, but literally i dont want spoilers lol

#

and i know there will be ppl on discord or reddit or whatever that will spoil

sacred iron
#

You are genuinely going to have to stay away from social media since everyone and their mother will be talking about it

tribal sinew
#

yeah

#

so might as well preorder i guess lol

#

cuz i dont wanna stay away from all that stuff for an entire week

sacred iron
#

The way I’m going about it is that I’m going to watch stuff so I can see the overall state of the game in terms of bugs and performance, as well as identity the overall gameplay loop and structure, and if it’s something I feel I will enjoy then I’ll get it

#

Wont be any major story or content spoilers that way besides the beginner stuff

#

But if you are absolutely certain that you’ll get it regardless, might as well as buy it on the day or pre order

#

And it’s lifted

#

Jackfrags starfield gameplay just got posted

#

@tribal sinew be careful

I’m watching as much as I can, although most creators seem pretty good about keeping it spoiler free

i knew i wouldn't keep watching content for like a week

charred quail
#

well starfield is getting crazy good reviews

#

Bethesda making a functional game WTF

tribal sinew
#

microsoft putting pressure to release a finished product im guessing

#

bethesda never release a game this polished before 😄 from what i heard anyway

i bought it premium for the DLC mostly btw

Dlc? There's already a dlc?

charred quail
#

nah

#

premium gets you the future expansion

modest bronze
#

Ah I see

tribal sinew
#

and i had more than usual in my bank account after bills this month, so thought well why not

steep tulip
#

you already know !!!

modest bronze
#

Starfield looks good, one thing that I didn't liked was the fact your character doesn't have a voice.. ruins the immersion (quite) a bit

steep tulip
modest bronze
#

Dunno

tribal sinew
#

fallout 4 has voice

#

but not fallout 3 afair and not skyrim

modest bronze
#

Even cyberpunk character had voice.. (they were kinda bad, you could tell the actors were reading) but still.. on the other hand starfield has 3rd person.. thats a W. And was cyberpunk biggest mistake not having 3rd person

tribal sinew
#

i can see pro's and cons with voice actors tbh

charred quail
#

wdym, cp2077 voice acting was great

#

well

#

the npcs' voices were great

#

player character's voice is shit

#

especially the female voice

modest bronze
# charred quail wdym, cp2077 voice acting was great

Not at all.. at least the male actor for V was really damn bad.. you could tell he was reading... compare that to red read redemption voices and you'll see the difference.. but then again red dead was mocap

Cats playing starfield

#

I’m still looking into it, not too certain if it’s worth it

But I’m still figuring out what kind of game it’s meant to be

@charred quail how buggy is it.

#

I wonder

#

Since I have gamepass

#

And starfield on it

#

Can I buy the upgrade alone

#

Will it count

#

Basically how I pay for my gold is by gamepass

charred quail
#

you can't CursedCat

timid kindle
#

Damn

#

I can’t

#

What happens if I. Tried

#

It says 31$

charred quail
#

try it CursedCat

timid kindle
#

Lmao I actually wanna see

#

Now

tribal sinew
#
charred quail
#

there's the option

#

but what happens when your gamepass subscription ends lol

tribal sinew
#

yeah thats the issue

#

my buddy at work got just the upgrade on game pass, but personally i rather buy the game

steep tulip
#

ill deff play star field when it drops

#

i wasnt going to but

#

ill check it out

inland crescent
#

Figured it saves 2/3 of the price pretty much lol

timid kindle

#

Sounds strange but I might go and play some skyrim before looking more into it to get a better feel for how Bethesda games play out

#

So far it kind of meets what I expected it to be

Starfield metacritic is about what I’d expect

#

Looking forward to Tuesday at 8

timid kindle
#

Prob won’t be on Xbox much everyday since I applied for a new job leo

#

Now

#

Sucks

#

I can’t grind mw3

Yep

I hope so too

#

If I. Do get it I might just take the day off for mw3 leo

#

Early access

timid kindle
#

Why

elfin lark
#

Taking off a day of your new job to play a video game is in my opinion not a great look

polar wren
#

Glad that starfield is a banger

#

Currently downloading it on my Xbox series x

#

Glad gamepass is a thing

modest bronze
#

Game pass doesn't give you early access tho?

stiff panther
#

think you can pay for the extra edition without buying the whole game

timid kindle
polar wren
#

I didn't see any indication that it wasn't released yet

modest bronze
#

I think owners of gamepass can only play the game September 6... unless you buy the gamepass premium that I think its 35 bucks? Correct me if im wrong

timid kindle
#

There’s no gamepass premium

Oh then I read that wrong somewhere else

don't you need to play it yourself to actually come to that conclusion tho

polar wren

Go look on yt, there is a huge amount of gameplay videos

main thistle
#

no thanks

#

I don't like spoilers

modest bronze
#

Lol

polar wren
#

If the majority says it's good, it's probably good

I dont think starfield has a story that good that spoilers would be a problem

I could be wrong tho

Doesn't make sense cause he said he only payed 30$ for the game..

timid kindle
#

It’s on gamepass

main thistle
#

will it stay for good tho?

modest bronze
#

Yeah but gamepass doesn't give you early access.. so what upgraded are you talking about?

💀

Yep if I’m up

How much is the premium upgrade? 20 bucks?

So I guess I’ll just say what I think of Starfield after the first 3ish-4 hours…

||It’s decent, but decent is really all it is so far. Nothing’s really groundbreaking yet. I’m hoping it gets better as the game progresses but so far it seems like you gotta deal with a few hours of super slow gameplay before the good stuff starts||

it's really pretty, I genuinely kinda want to make a video on it

lost kelp
#

I can't believe they made an entire 200+ hour long game from that one fallout 3 dlc

elfin lark
#

It just works

austere sonnet
sacred iron
#

I’m quite curious if it feels much different to regular cs at all

#

Although I’m guessing they E done rigorous testing to make it feel as similar as possible

pseudo dove
#

Apparently, people are using the mining tool as a gun.

#

In Starfield.

#

No need to replenish ammo for it.

elfin lark
#

If it’s stupid and it works

pseudo dove
#

Seems efficient to me.

lost sluice
#

it does close to no damage tho

#

maybe if u play on easy

pseudo dove
#

I'm watching a streamer play on hardmode with the mining tool.

#

Says he feels like Zarya from Overwatch with it.

lost sluice
#

lol

pseudo dove
#

Those 1-3 damages do a lot of damage over time.

lost sluice
#

idk how the difficulties work tho, do the enemies become bulletsponges at hard or is it more of a high precision case where both u and them dieneasily

pseudo dove
#

The nice thing about the mining tool is that it does like 20 damage per second with all those stacks.

austere sonnet
#

Usually it’s the second one

lost sluice
#

my mining tool doest deal anything

austere sonnet
#

But some are more bullet spongy

pseudo dove
#

You can't snipe with the mining tool.

#

You have to be somewhat near and the AI enemies get flinch from it.

#

So, they can't do much getting mined.

lost sluice
#

lmao

pseudo dove
#

Stagger as they call it.

lost sluice
#

ye i understand

#

it sounds op tho

pseudo dove
#

And after a bit of getting mined, the enemies just fall down and try to get back up.

lost sluice
#

haha

pseudo dove
#

I hope the mining tool gets modifiers later on or else it won't be effective at higher levels.

lost sluice
#

if bethesda doesnt optimize stuff modders will

#

i bet

pseudo dove
#

Check Asmongold's stream. He's mining his enemies.

lost sluice
#

oh asmon is playing? nice

pseudo dove
#

Yeah.

#

He chose the worst hairstyle in the game.

#

The Doc look from Back to the Future with a comeover to one side, so he's half-bald on top.

#

It's the most ridiculous hairstyle I've ever seen.

lost sluice
#

haha, he has just started

pseudo dove
#

Yeah.

lost sluice
#

i imagine thats why the miningtool works

pseudo dove
#

I mean it only does 1-3 damage every 5th of a second.

#

So, I can imagine it getting lower than 1 damage.

#

Says you have to be within 10 meters to use it.

lost sluice
#

cool

pseudo dove
#

I think I'll pass on Starfield and wait for Metal Gear Solid Collections Vol. 1.

lost sluice
#

lol

#

well the game is abit pricy

pseudo dove
#

Yeah. I'll get it if it goes on sale for like $20.

#

By that time, DLCs will come out for it.

lost sluice
#

so id understand if people wanna wait for a sale

#

but the game is good

pseudo dove
#

I barely buy games these days.

#

Unless it's Nintendo Switch games.

#

Last game I bought was BF 2042 for $15 a month ago.

lost sluice
#

alright

#

i tend to get overhyped for games only to just play the games i bought not even halfway through

pseudo dove
#

The last 2 preorders I purchased I played the games for the first day and then quit.

lost sluice
#

i bought bf2042 gold edition full price , but ive got over 300 hours from it so id say it was worth it

pseudo dove
#

I got my money's worth from BF 2042.

#

I liked grinding for gun attachments.

#

I still need to grind vehicle unlocks.

#

I played 174 hours in the past month that I purchased it.

lost sluice
#

oh nice

#

ull outplay me for sure then

pseudo dove
#

Maybe. It was to take a break from Apex.

lost sluice
#

aight

sacred iron
#

Starfield doesn’t really seem to be hitting as hard as say, skyrim

pseudo dove
#

I feel the same.

sacred iron
#

Most likely just due to the fact that people have only been showing footage for less than a day

#

I was always cautious of how it was going to present its world when you have 1000 planets, and for the most part I was right in my assumptions

pseudo dove
#

Most of the planets right now look barren.

sacred iron
#

Most of the detail comes from the hand crafted story locations and the actual planets themselves don’t have as much going for them

#

So you don’t get as many of those ‘ooo a secret cave’ that leads to a unique story, since there will be millions of caves

pseudo dove
#

The game reminds me of the mining missions in Mass Effect.

#

The first game.

sacred iron
#

But that’s just the nature of expanding your scope to space

pseudo dove
#

I wonder if the planets get colonized.

#

So when you revisit them, it looks entirely different.

sacred iron
#

Doubt it

#

Unless they made updates later on

pseudo dove

Refunded MW3 for this and I’ll rebuy it closer to launch

It’s Bethesda after all

#

not bad honestly

charred quail
#

apparently nvidia driver is busted for this game

#

amd cards are running better

#

not using FSR

lucid ocean
#

And 72% GPU

charred quail
#

I wonder if they will update the driver soon

#

probably not

modest bronze
#

If the driver is really busted for nvidia they probably release a hot fix for next week before release day

#

What's your card and cpu, @charred quail ?

charred quail
#

i7 10750h rtx 3060

modest bronze
#

And you are getting 40 fps in the big city? Well I guess my 2070 super is fucked lol

charred quail
#

it only uses 70% cpu and 60% gpu

#

the driver is fucked

modest bronze
#

Let's hope it's the driver

charred quail
#

amd benchmarks are showing equivalent amd cards getting up to 40% more fps without fsr

modest bronze
#

Fsr is the amd dlss right?

charred quail
#

yeah

When my CPU goes above 70% my USB devices disconnect

charred quail
#

happens to me with 2042

lucid ocean
#

And I see this in Cyberpunk a lot

charred quail
#

when I play 2042 I get delay with my wireless headphone

lucid ocean
#

It fully cuts out my USB devices

charred quail
#

time for an upgrade haHAA

lucid ocean
#

Takes 10 seconds for them to auto reconnect

empty ivy
#

My headphones never cut out except when I'm watching low stress stuff.

#

Its really weird.

sacred iron
#

Wireless ones you mean?

empty ivy
#

Optimisation is pretty good on my end. Nothing too terrible.

#

Yeah wireless.

sacred iron
#

My sonos speakers will always cut out if I pause a YouTube video, including any game sound, unless I play a video again. Rather odd

lucid ocean
#

It’s not really a “want” matter anymore

#

As soon as I stress it beyond 70% it fucks up real bad

empty ivy
#

Fix that bottleneck.

lucid ocean
#

It’s not even a bottleneck problem

#

It’s the CPU dying

empty ivy
#

Yeah I was going to say. It sounds beyond a bottleneck.

lucid ocean
#

Well, rest in piss 5800x

#

Damn shame, it was a gold sample too

empty ivy
#

Did a good job.

#

Oh what

lucid ocean
#

Yeah I tested it when I got it

It apparently was a gold sample CPU

How can I test what sample my CPU is?

Good thing I didn't buy Starfield. Looks like it's getting just very mediocre reviews. Apparently every reviewer says the game is boring until about 10-15 hours in which would be I guess ok for a MMO. But for a Bethesda single player game, having a slow burn off the start isn't a great way to lure people in.

I'll get the game in 6 months when its $10 bucks on a Steam Sale.

#

But people who buy this also buy Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 and say they're good games.

lost sluice
#

lmao

wooden umbra
#

Gotta love that mediocrity.

lost sluice
lucid ocean
#

So far Starfield's been good for me personally.

#

Also people complaining about how it looks probably didn't max it out, because it looks great.

wooden umbra
#

Oh I have no complaints about the graphics. Apparently it doesn't run horribly either. I just find it personally boring from every gameplay walkthrough I've watched to see if I want to get it.

#

And it's a Bethesda game. It will be on sale inside 6 months. I'll get it then.

next rapids
#

it's cool

#

the first hour didn't really captivate me like i thought it would, but it's been growing on me

#

very fun just wish it didn't have this many loading screens

lost sluice
#

the loading is really fast tho

#

but ye i agree

charred quail
#

Thanks Bethesda, I do like staring at teeth

lost sluice
#

are they soft tho?

sacred iron
#

From what I’ve heard, the majority of the complaints are based around the non-seamless exploration and how said planetary exploration is structured. Which I predicted.

The main story seems sound, the side quests are intriguing as ever, the skill and loot progression vastly improved and so on

#

Since some of y’all are playing it now, what do you think of it overall

ive only done mainmissions and i figure theyre the most built up towards. but i really like it

#

Of course the planets are fairly barren since they are supposed to invoke a sort of intrinsic satisfaction but the meat of the content if assume lies in the bases that you can see before landing

#

Oh and someone on Reddit pointed out that you can use your scanner thing to land on planets without needing a map. Don’t know how that works exactly but it could streamline it a bit

polar wren
#

Are you mad that planets are as bare as normal planets

lost sluice
#

will be nice to see what modders will bring

sacred iron
#

Well of course, their main goal was to strive for being accurate with planets and whatnot

polar wren
#

This is what space exploration is

sacred iron
#

But i mean in terms of the stories and side quests, the various little adventures and stuff, i imagine the best ones of those are in those handcrafted landing spots and not just out in the world somewhere

#

I could get by with just wondering around, I’ve played enough Elite Dangerous to enjoy that sort of stuff, I’m just curious if you can expect to start any interesting side missions out of the blue

polar wren
#

I'm honestly fine, played no man sky for a good while that I'm used to open bare areas, more there for the scenery

sacred iron
#

I love to just taking a little stroll around while paying attention to the ambience, that took up most of my time in RDR2

polar wren
#

I do that with a dead fucking planet in space

#

Hits harder when it night

sacred iron
#

But say you land in a random spot on a planet with the intent to walk around and take in the sights, is it possible to run into little side missions and characters while doing that or is it just going to be the prefab bases that have little context?

sacred iron
polar wren
#

Oh sure, just find the space stations or landing pads, they probably give out obvious hints on where they are at

sacred iron
#

Ah neat, I feel there’s a good amount of satisfaction that comes from finding something that’s unmarked

lucid ocean
#

Game looks great tbh

polar wren
#

Finding anything unmarked is satisfying

#

Literally nms, all the time

sacred iron
#

Doesn’t need to be some super secret weapon or anything, just little bubbles of environmental storytelling like those little abandoned houses you’d find in say, skyrim

#

Or the bear house in red dead OpenEye

polar wren
#

Is this a pre release for those who payed more money

sacred iron
#

Has to be

I know the embargo lifted at 5 yesterday, i think the ultimate pre order folks could play at 11

sacred iron
#

But speaking of weather stuff, do they have any storms or dangerous weather conditions akin to NMS?

charred quail
#

yes

sacred iron
#

I’ve heard about suits that need different environmental things but I’ve not seen any storms or the like

I can’t wait to hear it’s music

polar wren
#

I'm more interested in cyberpunk dlc, going to reset my run all over

worthy helm
#

Xbox was a 140gb download. I tried to do the file trick for steam but it didn't work SadCryApuPepeJPa

#

For me

sacred iron
#

And it’s visuals overall really

#

I love it’s style and art direction

#

No man’s sky can get a bit too weird at times and this nasa punk style hits the nail on the head

#

In rdr2 I’d often just walk in a forest listening to those killer ambient guitar tracks so if the music in this hits hard I can imagine myself doing the same

polar wren
#

Oh nms is having a expedition

#

This time it's 2 months long

#

Instead of a couple weeks

sacred iron
#

I’ve not participated in one of those, so you have to physically go to the place to start it or can you just press an option to go there?

#

Since I don’t have the glyphs nor the fuel yet

polar wren
#

So the expedition is its own save that you create in the menu, you won't be able to use any other saves.

high haven
polar wren
#

This expedition is focused on exploring planets and scanning wildlife and you would need to find specific creatures and planets to do certain missions

sacred iron
#

Oh neat

#

Is it just going from one plane to another in a sort of race?

#

I just pictured it to be similar to those Elite Dangerous race type things

polar wren
#

Not a race

#

It's 2 months long, you can take your time

sacred iron
#

Do you tend to see a lot of people as you do them

polar wren
#

If you enable multiple yes

#

But pvp isn't a big issue

sacred iron
#

I will admit it’s a great way to bring people together

polar wren
#

Or a issue in general

sacred iron
#

Oh I didn’t even think you could pvp in NMS at all

#

I’m fairly sure I’ve had multiplayer on since it was a thing and I’ve never even seen someone else

polar wren
#

Doesn't really exist as most players don't know either

sacred iron
#

I’ve lost of track of how it works now

polar wren
#

You can enable multiplayer off, but I'm not sure if it removes the communication bits that players placed near key areas

charred quail
#

I met them guys

#

u can basicly skip all exploring in mainmissions by just keep pressing set location and then travel

#

sacred iron
#

Quick question about loot and stuff in starfield, does any of it respawn? As in most of the stuff you’d find in little outposts. And the weapons, are they all static or do they have random elements to them?

charred quail
#

they are randomized at the start of your playthrough I think, then they stay statics

sacred iron
#

So the weapons and stuff that spawn in will be different for everyone

sacred iron
#

Oh and what about base building? I hate to be that guy but how does it compare to something like NMS?

is it actually a polished bugthesda game?

double barrle coachgun is some quality fun though

but i still havent gotten a hang of all the space stuff yet

Like what?

ivory onyx

I was doing a side mission and had to fight against 3 space pirates at once, died twice because it was too much incoming damage lol

charred quail
#

the sidequests on one of the major cities feel like the entire storyline of Outer Worlds

ivory onyx
#

trying to figure out where the enemy is by doing a loop and apparently they were able to shoot at me the entire time and i died, feelssad

merry shadow
#

sounds kinda frustrating

sacred iron
#

I will say though, I don’t think any flight model matches elite dangerous

#

Flying in that is a dream

ivory onyx
#

3d space combat do be like that

#

i was also fighting 2 higher level ships

sacred iron
#

Especially with its flight assist off

#

Doing moves that would make even the trailers blush

ivory onyx
#

one was like my level or slightly lower...so understandable why id die easily

sacred iron
#

While this shares a pretty similar flight control model to no man’s sky, I hope it improves on it as no man’s sky felt really irritating to control at times

#

Although I’m unsure as to how much that was down to my mobility stat

#

Could have fixed it for all I know

sacred iron
#

Honestly I might find myself spending time doing that kind of Elite Dangerous exploration run type thing, just barrelling down into space making little homes here and there

ivory onyx
#

can you only have 1 weapon equipped at a time?

charred quail
#

ED odyssey was such a letdown

#

hey look I found your mom

sacred iron
#

More so… the stock prices BlushCat

charred quail
sacred iron
#

I was honestly quite excited for it

#

Then I saw the actual update…

charred quail
#

it was such a sight to behold, launching a space game that runs worse than star citizen

sacred iron
#

If I remember correctly they didn’t even include occlusion culling when it launched

#

That was something they added later

#

But I just didn’t want to hand out the money for something that I knew would end up being another grind fest

#

Elite was just mostly running missions constantly for reputation and credits. Felt more like a job than anything. My favourite part though was simply exploring planets and taking in the ambience and incredible sound design.

#

Riding in an SRV for a thousand kilometres waiting for the right signal blip…

#

That’s one reason why I’m interested in starfield but also hesitant

#

Like, Elite Dangerous exploration was fun and literally all you could find was a small mineral deposit. But I honestly found the process of landing there to be a highlight

charred quail
#

you should play starfield, it doesn't have free space travel like no man's sky but the exploration is great

sacred iron
#

Yeah I feel like it being more contained while still offering a similar vibe is good

#

I’d no joke spend about an hour driving around for various engineering parts and it would get old after a while. I just want to see good vistas, and starfield seems to offer the best of both worlds

#

I’m basically just trying to talk myself into it at this point BlushCat

high haven
#

can't wiat for the mods to turn it into The Martian: The Game

But of course with armoured core 6 having just released and AC mirage on the horizon I don’t want to be too abrupt

#

it's so funny to find people with british accent in starfield

#

like, you were born in a different solar system

#

the UK doesn't exist anymore

sacred iron
#

Something else I did want to ask though- skyrim of course has its magic, so you can do spells relating to destruction or more utility based ones like silencing footsteps, pacifying enemies, putting on armour etc. starfield seems to be going for a lot more grounded approach but I’ve only seen el shooty shooty and punchy punchy, do any of the skills or later unlocks provide more in the way of combat or utility beyond just gun and fist?

#

If you get what I mean

charred quail
#

It's science fiction with a little bit of fantasy

#

would spoil the story if I say anything more CursedCat

sacred iron
#

So there’s more than meets the eye

sacred iron
#

Okay yeah so the majority of complaints I see on Reddit are definitely about the whole loading screen thing

#

But there was no way they would ever be able to give us this much detail with no separating loading screens

ivory onyx
#

they take like a second to get through lol so its not exactly oppressive

tribal sinew
#

they cant have american accents either, america doesnt exist anymore

elfin lark
#

Canadian

tribal sinew
#

maybe everyone should have swedish accents

or indian accents, that would be funny

charred quail

hundreds of years into the future and people still say "innit" and "bruv"

Almost every space exploration game is a grind fest

ivory onyx

it certainly looks like it can be grindy as fuck, but i dont see it being a requirement so far..so thats good

It's like it's a requirement that every space exploration game needs to be so fucking grindy

i think u can play it really grindy amd efficient or just yolo it

doing a mission on mars, traveling 900m didnt seem so bad when the gravity is so low you can boost bunny jump pretty far

No man sky has insane grinding but it's the most tame compared to astroneer, Star citizen, and elite dangerous

can see traversing other planets with a more earth like gravity being annoying eventually though..

It's easy to get oxygen, sodium, carbon, and ferrite, but you have to pray to the god atlas that the closest copper deposit is 200u

Oddly fitting...

You know what's worse than getting copper, getting activated copper

the game uses my screenshots as loading screens

one of the loading screen tips i saw was "you cant land on a gas giant, or ice ball" which made me think of the moron posting "ree you cant land on saturn game lied to me!!!"

that was the "bro did you fail 5th grade??" reaction i saw

Why do you wanna land on a gas giant anyways leo

one thing i dont understand is the uhh map...for a city, its literally not a map, just some random texture bullshit with some landmark icons on it, gives absolutely no info Hmm

I found a legendary explosive double barrelled shotgun from that captain at the start. Think I'm set!

ivory onyx
#

oh i got a legendary pistol from someone at the start, it does bonus damage to 100% enemies, was going through mars 1 shotting lvl 8 spacers WoahHappy

empty ivy
#

Also a semi auto weapon does 2.5x damage???

#

Like the assault rifle.

#

Oh damn!

#

I love my pistols even more.

polar wren
#

Yikes, op weapons at the start

ivory onyx
#

but then for some reason my companion has the same kind of pistol but in a regular form....and it does more damage, but doesnt have the mods

polar wren
#

Not a fan of that

empty ivy
#

Also got an assault rifle that makes people bleed.

polar wren
#

I like to put more time in before getting a legendary weapon

ivory onyx
#

i was level...8 or 9 myself

empty ivy
#

I was level 2 when I got my shotgun.

polar wren
#

They should nerf that

ivory onyx
#

i used one of the basic ARs for a couple dozen kills at the start, then got a basic bitch double barrel and that was really fun

empty ivy
#

Double barrel what.

ivory onyx
#

2 shot most enemies, but reload process...one of the energy based ARs isnt op at all

polar wren
#

Getting legendary weapons at the start of a game is not as fun as getting one after some hours of playing

ivory onyx
#

coach gun, i got a blue one earlier that has the slug round attachment i guess, so it does more damage..have to try that

polar wren
#

Nms did it well with giving people a very low chance to get legendary weapons

ivory onyx
#

if my pistol didnt have the bonus damage to 100% enemies, it wouldnt be better than a basic pistol i could get it seems...and it wasnt even op against the boss at the end of my mission

polar wren
#

And the only fastest way to get s tier (legendary) ships, weapons, or freighters, is by putting in a planets address given by players who look for these high tier items

empty ivy
#

I got a purple assault rifle not far later that does extra damage against aliens.

#

And makes people bleed.

#

Long barrel assault rifle better.

polar wren
#

And the process to get glyphs to use portals to put in a planets address is a hassle as well

timid kindle
#

I fucking hate that system in games

#

Borderlands

#

Etc

polar wren
#

Or you could be lucky and get that 5% chance of a s tier item

Ghost recon breakpoint had an option to turn it off

If I easily get legendary shit in under 2 hours imma be fucking pissed

open your inventory with i, go to new items, press R on the legendary to drop it

I love having a sense of struggle and opportunity of improving, having endgame loot turns the enjoyment way off for me

I think borderlands actually treated that well since it scaled.

@ivory onyx How much money did you have by level 4?

ivory onyx

couple thousand or something

#

i was able to figure out where some vendors were in the first city and sold a ton

#

but the vendors have a limit to how many credits they have to give you CatStare

empty ivy
#

Yeah pretty bethesda stuff.

#

I got 13K credits so I just bought a set of armour lol.

austere sonnet
#

What’s the vendors limit

#

leo because I already got over encumbered when I got the ship

ivory onyx
#

It depends on the vendor I think

#

and unlike 2077 when the vendor runs out of money, you can still sell your shit to them "but you wont get the full price for this item!"

austere sonnet
#

So trading basically is an option right

#

leo like in the fallout and the Skyrim

empty ivy
#

Yeah thatr's pretty much skyrim.

#

This game is a little too easy.

I just defeated a bunch of level 14's with my semi automatic rifle and found a better suit that makes me take even less damage from people.
