Wow, that's kinda insane
You can either have them show the games stgraight up or you can tell them to look like the GBA or GBA SP screens
Or GB or GBC screens
Like drawing the pixel gaps
Which they can do because they have the pixel density to do that
And adjusting the pixel palettes to have the exact same saturation
That in fairness does not require a very fancy screen
They put a lot of work into it
Yeah
They recently updated those filters to be more accurate (but kept the old ones around as well)
It's good to see Bethesda going back to what they do best. Open world single player games, where all I want to do is just wander off in random directions annoying whatever companion is following me.
Starfield is #1 in the WeMod queue to have hax made for it 
Lmao
Someone has to try skyrim console commands to see if there the same in starfield lmao
fallout/skyrim in space
what is fallout/skyrim even about
Starfield but on a planet
Fallout: "fuck around in retrofuturistic 1950s America after nuclear war"
Skyrim: "fuck around in fantasy land with dragons and scream at them"
Also Skyrim: Choose your path: Furry, scalie, or normie
There's like 11 flavors of not scaly/furry that doesn't have characters shouting slurs, since it is a cosmopolitan empire, each with their own history, culture, and religion (before the Empire).
Oddly enough, they all fight, magic, and stealth archer the same way. /s
Starfield early access is now available! @south bay
I thought that was supposed to be in an hour
I forgot
I’ll get a few Missions in before bed
Starfield is now out for early Access!
Not yet for me
restart steam
I had to
Already tried that but I'll do it again
I’ve just started.
116.3GB to unpack
Does it show as premium edition? Were there more than one code to put on steam, in the box?
Other people with the collector edition here?
You got the premium edition right?
The CE, yeah
Just got home from getting food. No joy here yet.
Yeah same as me. Hmmmm mine is Xbox not sure why it’s not unlocking for you midnight
People say that the digital game code is etched on the credit chip thing?
Got it from here
Yeah
Oh so it's only that one code probably
It's a Steam code laser etched onto the money thing
Yeah it's likely they haven't gotten around to unlocking this variant yet. or they fucked up and only put in standard edition codes onto these things.
Even though the box says premium edition
It would be very on brand for Bethesda
It would be
Wait you think they could’ve put the standard codes on by accident?
That's very possible
They've been sitting on these CEs since 2022
It's possible some code IDs got shuffled around
Any other company I would say it's unconvievable
With Bethesda it raises to probable
Lots of people are complaining on the forums about it. Give it a few minutes.
When the code redemtion on Steam didn't mention anything about Premium I started to get worried
And it said Septemper 6th
Which is not typical behavior for early access
Another friend elsewhere is seeing the same
Did you get the game?
Try restarting steam.
Mine said September 6th too
Yes it is
it is? ah
Yeah tried that a bunch already
I imagine they will fix it once they notice.
Or days
Unlikely.
P0, even
Yeah
I did buy it on Steam
Which lead to the sort of hilarious result that MA on our shared gaming machine just got errors, but switch Steam accounts and it immediately sets off
Bethesda, don't scrub my launch
Mine just finished unpacking
Had to restart Steam to get the green play button
Yeah that usually works
No problems here.
So it seems to be on steam being dumb.
Yep
Either that or Bethesda failed to assign the EA flag to these Steam codes in the CEs
One of those
I could buy the latter
Nah I'm fine waiting until the 6th or whenever it releases
They're not called Premium so it's... very possible that's what happened
They look like standard edition retail
I have Armored Core to finish the other endings of anyway
Waiting is fine, but if you paid to get it early, that's not acceptable and they owe you money.
I keep thinking Electronic Arts whenever someone says EA
I'm being told to restart steam and if that doesn't work, spam the play button.
the soundtrack is mp3s and wavs
wavs is fine
Time to convert them
Hm, Steam thinks that the preload no longer exists
Same
Ah.
all the preload files would be in depotcache
Ahhh
Time to spam /r/Volvo.
Thanks
I’m still on character creation 
Gonna be here for a while
It looks super washed out for me
Got an unpacking.
the heck
it's not recognizing my controller
This game does not have HDR support
But also HDR on or off has a washed out appearance, it’s true
I wonder if that’s just… intentional
Oh finally, it's unpacking for me
While I have to wait, I can eat my dinner.
What do you think of my character?

there's a dev console
` key like usual
I would send him to prison if it was me.

oddly looks like matt damon
Pffft kinda true
Actually it does.
Hm I need to upgrade the SSDs on this computer
so my controller just doesn't exist to the game 
Are the files too big?
Not that.
bluetooth and wired, nada
no response to controller input on the menu
and the game has built in controller support
Bethesda plz
i wonder if it's my controller....
It's a 970 EVO for the root drive when I should be using a 980 Pro or 990 Pro.... should fill the rest of the M.2 slots on this motherboard with 990 Pros.
The I/O isn't as fast as it could be
Ah right.
Why is this so grey? Surely it should be black
Gray-green
It's even more washed out on my actual display
(spoiler for about three minutes in.)
Wondering if I get the same
Will be able to launch this in about... 20 minutes.
I already updated the GPU drivers to the latest on that computer and mine
it was my controller
the game just does not recognize a Stadia controller as a controller 
dug out one of my janky Afterglow xbox controllers and that one works
Well it would be an uncommon one, but it should read as an Xbox controller
Well it's not like it would read as a Stadia controller, just generic gamepad, therefore interpret as Xbox controller
Lots of games ignore them
Ah
Steam Input can fix them up, I think
I still plan to try really hard to try and see if I can get my Hotas to work
Since it's kinda supposed to be recognisable as a controller, assuming the binds are customisable enough, maybe it'll work
There are various other hacks too
Probably not the throttle, but the stick should at least be reasonably easy to make work
well my Afterglow controller has a janky cord and kinda sucks, so time to go buy an Xbox controller I guess 
I wonder if there's any Starfield controllers left....
Man it'll take half an hour to unpack this
it was much faster on the other computers
Need those better SSDs
It would in fact have been faster to not preload
Indeed
This is actually true quite often
Preloading tends to be a net negative given sufficiently fast internet.
sigh
the only Starfield controllers left available are $40-50 scalper markup over retail.
normal xbox controller it is.
It would be about twice as fast.
Given that I can only unpack at up to 50MB/s when I could download it at twice that.
is it compatable with a ps5 controller?
No idea, but Sony isn't getting this game (yet).
on pc, probably
Glad we get to collectively beta test this game ahead of the hotly anticipated PS5 launch.
true
I'm assuming this is a joke because it's never going to be on the ps5?
It'll probably come later, but not for a while.
except this is now a first party microsoft xbox game
almost feels like a BG3 reference, since that's about to drop on PS5?
I hope someone mods Karlach into the game
Stepped outside for the first time today and only just now learned that there’s a wildfire up north. It’s smoky out. 
Might’ve figured that out had I ever opened the windows today haha
Yeah doesn't seem like this is coming to PS at all if Microsoft can help it
Which I mean, exclusivity sucks but I'd be more heartbroken if it wasn't the same thing Sony was doing with everything they can
Sony will come to PC when they can get a shitty port out in a few years for nostalgia, remasters, and at a higher price.
Oh for fucks sake, steam
At least this one releases on PC at the same time instead of waiting a year or more
yeah trying that
have you still not been able to get it to work?
Nope
Not on my account anyway
Worked perfectly for Peach
Oh there, maybe it's finally ready
I get that technically PC is a Microsoft platform at least in part because Windows but it's not quite the same thing as releasing on Xbox
As game titles don't shift PCs
QUality software there, Bethesda
At least not in a decent number, you get a pc if you need a pc
Do you turn off film grain in games?
oh hey
you can have the game refer to you as they/them 
I turned down that film grain to 85% 
What about motion blur?
Man do I have to manually find and interactively pick up matching ammo for my weapons? Eugh
30-40 FPS on my 3080 at 3440x1440 resolution at max settings
21:9 display
FSR2 doesn't... do anything.
brutal, I have the same card and resolution
Thanks for that exclusivity deal, AMD. Really helping out.
Super scummy that we live in a world where a hardware manufacturer can literally pay a game developer to not use their competitor's features in their game.
They did say that DLSS can be added, so that will probably happen.
They're not losing anything by supporting both, but they just fuck over people who made specific hardware choices because capitalism
Well yeah, of course they can add support for it.
It's not terribly difficult.
It'll just take a year or two for them to do so
However long that deal was for
I am getting about 60 FPS at 4K out of a 4090 at max settings with scaling disabled.
Bethesda confirmed
He flew up through that ceiling and is now standing on the roof selling coffee.
as one does when you fly through a ceiling
gotta get that ad revenue
Apparently if I take off my space suit I get angry beeps forever despite being in an entirely breathable atmosphere where nobody else is wearing one
Wat
The DLSS mod is already available it seems. That modder was correct in getting it done on time.
what a legend
There's two I can find immediately, but only one is public. I'd wait a few days before picking one.
I noticed that the soundtrack MP3s were tagged, but the WAV files were not. I fetched the album from Picard and uploaded the AcoustIDs of the WAV files. Should be possible to easily tag them now.
For the like maybe one other person on the planet who might actually want properly tagged lossless files of this soundtrack
You know I expected fewer loading screens in this
Seeing loading screens when you travel between planets and landing was severely disappointing to me, since no man's sky does all of that already
Well we knew that was going to happen
Also getting on and out of your ship isn't seamless either
But traveling between planets was news to me
I just hop in the ship, loading screen, click a map, loading screen, press land, loading screen…
Where’s the actual ship flying?
Like what’s the point?
Yeah, its more of a planet exploration game than actual space exploration
I saw the one dogfight, which fine, but other than that it just stops having a point
Hopefully mods can expand on it
You do more spaceship flying in Mass Effect’s galaxy map
I see 7/10 IGN guy's point
But I am also still in approximately a tutorial (which I'm ignoring in favour of random side quests)
So I will see how that goes
Presumably there is a bunch of space flight available or they wouldn't have bothered with all the space flying systems.
I wasn’t expecting NMS level of flying about, because they set that expectation a long time ago and that’s fine, but for a game in 2023 it still comes across as a wholly unfinished feature. 
Great way to introduce flying in this game: Press the launch button. Now let’s fast travel to your destination.
Presumably
I was expecting more like Elite Dangerous
Rather than “every planet’s orbit is it’s own self-contained loading zone”
Considering that NMS came out 7 years ago, Starfield's flight does feel more primitive by comparison
Yeah, I was hesitant to say that out loud
But it comes across as 2000s design thinking 
To be fair, the genre is "Bethesda RPG", not "space simulator"
I'm not able to play Starfield for various reasons, but I'm living vicariously through streamers. I've seen like 2-3 hours of gameplay from two different people who went in slightly different directions in their story
NMS had to simplify their flight over time since combat got reworked twice, but you do more traveling by hand there. I think it would have been cool to fly between bodies in a solar system, but keep it as an option to fast travel as it stands.
Yeah that was the setup I expected
Actually rather impressed they boldly went with this configuration
It is all very cutscene transport
If enough people don't like it, they might add something in in the future, similar to the no NPC thing in 76 for the first year.
Indeed. Which makes me almost wonder why they bothered
I was sort of annoyed by the train in New Atlantis too
Well I don't think you have played nearly enough of it to have a fair viewpoint on that yet 
Hence “almost”
From the perspective of focusing on the story that happens to take place in space, I could see why they Starfield does things the way it does. But it's at odds with the promise of... you know, space
Right? Putting the camera outside of the train takes you out of the immersion
I thought you were able to see yourself at least go in and take a seat, but no, you just press a button
Though I did inadvertently run between two of the stops so clearly that is actually contiguous space
I don't know if that makes it better or worse
They did hype up the spaceflight part of the game a fair bit, so that seems to potentially fall flat. Maybe it gets better once the tutorial stops railroading you.
Yeah, the boarding of ships and looting seemed awesome
Presumably that does exist somewhere
7/10 guy said it gets good about twelve hours in. 
That’s a long time to wait
Same could be said about better spells and abilities in BG3.
In a game where you're expected to spend at least 100 hours in, 12 is relatively not that much 
Is there a button for swapping weapons or do I have to pause and go into the inventory screen every time to do that?
There's a way to Favorite weapons
which you can then swap through. I don't know the specific buttons
After you favourite a weapon you can get to a selection for it by holding a d-pad button
Gotcha
(or favourite any other inventory item. It has no preferences)
The tutorial obliquely references this when suggesting you heal, if you ever get low enough on health for that to come up
I have just been introduced to the option to go Space Trucking
Why is Todd Howard so fascinated with the retro analogue tech aesthetic 
It's a cool look for this game, which honestly could be switched from Prey and fit in. Fallout came with something similar prior to Beth buying it.
As for myself, my graphics card isn't too happy with the game. Seem to be fine outside cutscene or script heavy areas so far.
What would be really cool is if it were possible for a conversation to involve anything other than exactly one person centred on the screen talking at you
The Bethesda experience
If you're lucky they might remember to look at you but they also may conduct the entire conversation looking the wrong way
Also I saw an NPC descend through the floor to go with the one I saw fly through the ceiling
Did he sell you floor coffee?
While the flying one was an actual vendor with a conversation tree, the falling one was incidental crowd
Indeed
I am just impressed spaceships aren't NPCs wearing Spaceship shaped hats
Give it time.
Also I'm still convinced it's more washed out than it should be
It’s similarly washed out on my screen too. I suspect it’s a choice.
You can tell when you're in a transitional screen with nothing rendering because the background abruptly jumps from dark grey to pure black and then back again
Anypony had any bugs yet?
Does vendors flying away from you count?
As in the person?
Yes

Could try running it on the Xbox to see if the color saturation is fixed on that or not
Up he goes

From what I seen it's remarkably solid for a Bethesda game
I'm waiting for better drivers. This is giving my 2080S a run, but I suspect that I can use a similar trick that 76 has to unlock the frame rate more.
As for bugs, one person launched into a platform, the robot having its leg like a crane until a new area, and the C button not working for some reason. Wished space bar worked in the menu too.
It’s saturating my 3080 too
Midnight how are you finding the game so far
I might also wait for the DLSS thing to be tested more, since I do have an NVID card.
I haven’t played it enough to have a good opinion yet
It's also saturating my 4090
Also people are saying it is going back to being more of a RPG compared to Fallout 4 which I appreciate
But it managed 50+ FPS which is plenty as far as I'm concerned
Also wish that the menu options to buy/sell were a little more clear and buybacks were a little easier. I lost my better suit to a trader.
Speaking of, I'm getting shit-all for cash when selling. I did blow out one trader and found another to finish the rest off. Bot was complaining about being attached to all of my equipment.
(max settings, 4K no upscaling)
The only bug I’ve had so far is when you get the cutscene. Of you taking off it just lands again then takes off 
I had to turn it down to Medium. The first big city is pushing 50,
Oh, I did run into a minor bug actually
It's okay I caught up with him
Did he make you a coffee?
He did offer but I didn't feel like buying coffee.
But his dialog tree worked.
I have barely actually done anything.
Did anyone get a pre order bonus code sent to their email?
In the first first instance of gun combat one of the pirates wedged me up against a wall while it was shooting at one of the NPCs, which pushed me upwards and I was unable to move. I had a hard time trying to shoot him while in that position but once he died I was released from my wall prison.
See the state of my mission list, seven hours in.
You are on the same main mission as me
That is the second one
I have not actually done any of it. I just triggered the end of the first one and wandered off
Yeah I only did the intro and up to that point I fell asleep 
Joined the military, fixed the power, retrieved a package from security holding, that sort of thing
At some point I may go back to that lady in the nice building
YvaN eht nioJ.
Constellation waiting for you to come back from your side quests: 
It's okay they gave me a bedroom
What difficulty are you on?
Default
I honestly have no clue.
But it's not labelled and I forgot which one is is
Normal.
I did not realise there are difficulty settings
I wonder what very hard is like 
Ah, the same problem that Star Citizen has
“You have a room in this large apartment building! Oh you didn’t note the room number or floor when you left? Can’t help you with that.”
That game still hasn’t came out.
It’s playable if you backed it
By a generous definition of playable
It’s still very alpha
It’s never coming out
How long until the Skyrim races are modded into starfield? I need to play a space khajit smuggling skooma into stations.
3 minutes 
Star Wars battles when?
Midnight can you make some mods.
Turns out you don't really need to use the map so much for space travel: https://reddit.com/r/Starfield/s/YxOwRq30cT
Speed run strats lets go
Starfielders, confirm/deny?
back when I played the first Jedi game this happened with Ceres
"The newgame+ is one of the most innovative takes in the industry, even more so than nier automata"
That is a high bar 
Are you on IOS?
I’m on the iOS 17 beta so I’m not sure if that could be why it’s not pairing.
That’s probably why, yes
Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace

eyes get destroyed from looking directly into a star

@south bay Midnight in the Starfield universe confirmed?

The main area in the game is massive.
Anyone who has Premium / CE with the included art book, I found where to find it.
You need to install STARFIELD DIGITAL ARTBOOK & ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK which should be in your Steam library.
I had to enable the Tools filter to see it, because for some reason it's under that. 
Starfield Hype, I'm considering whether to pick it up today or not, GMG has a deal for the base game.
Keep in mind the base game is unlocking on the 6th
But yeah it's looking pretty good by the people playing the early access
I am having a good time
I am now eleven hours in and have still only completed the first story quest 
aye that's true Genryu. It does look pretty good from what I've seen on twitch or discord streams. Glad you're enjoying it Peach Hack ^_^
This time the quest NPC fell through the floor 
I found a bunch of bugs. Clearly, we didn't kill them all.
Breaking Bad, but in space
https://reddit.com/r/Starfield/s/dx2aANwlc1
for those who've experimented with it, how's Base Building in Starfield?
Hey CD! long time no see.
Hey blade! been a long while aye.
I hope they improved the system a little compared to the outpost buinding in Fallout
yeah, I hope so too haha. They could be a little odd to use
I’ve heard it’s a lot better than 4
That's good to hear
Is anyone here a good builder. My bases will be small to start off with.
I'm going to try to find a place soon to start. Given my limited research and perk choices so far, it'll be a while before I get a decent-sized base.
When mods come I’m sure there will be pre made bases.
ooh and imagine a modded traits system! like that house you can get as a trait (with mortgage) but different layouts/builds/setups.
Modders can even make planets.
I'm messing with the base thing now, since I found a place close by, okay resources, and the wildlife doesn't take 100 rounds to put down.
how's it feeling control wise?
Controls are a little different from FO4/76, but the bird's eye view is nice.
nods sounds like a good way to get materials and the like too, plus credits if you have excess
Honestly what I want most from mods is a kinda hardcore space survival system attached to the game
With fuel and life support for ships, and stuff like that
It makes sense for it to not be in the base game, but I'm kinda interested in seeing it added eventually
Or permadeath?
Nah, not interested in perma death
I am mostly just interested in having more depth in planning a trip to wherever, because I find the idea fun
I've got what I can set up, but in order to abuse resource flow, I need to find and build the space version of Saudi Arabia. The HE-3 must flow.

So how is everyone enjoying the game
Great so far.
Sir, are you... supposed to be holding a cup of coffee?
Have you joined them yet?
The vanguard.
@south bay I’ve been soft locked 
Have you had any issues?
The framerate is lower than I would like
I know someone IRL who is having problems with Starfield randomly rebooting their PC. He says the graphics act weird before it happens. He has up to date drivers. I am waiting to get this game for a few months I think. I am waiting for patches and mods.
That sounds like some sort of memory corruption bug causing the system to eventually crash
Is anyone’s inventory just emptying randomly?
I had a gun I was going to mod now it’s not there
And it was a legendary tier weapon.
I was looking up if this happened to anyone else and I found a video of it happening to Asmongold of all people. I haven't found another video yet but my friend says this is what happens to him as well.
why is the ground flickering?

I've not had any problems except for a single item dupe glitch.
Mind you that very few people have even hit level 10
https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/167zlfd/less_than_6_of_players_have_reached_level_10_keep/
(this is from console, as Steam doesn't show global achievement stats yet, but still.)
I saw that earlier.
New ship acquired 
yoo that's slick
starfield runs hot hahah
Apparently people are refunding and boycotting starfield because you can choose your pronouns
those people are 
guys
I have a question
is the game good
rate from 1 to 10
from everything I see it looks like it is worth the money
I've only watched other people play. My rough impression is that it's a solid 8 or 9. It has Bethesda jank, but less so than their previous titles
I wouldn't consider it groundbreaking, but there's cool stuff in it
Well. It is ground breaking in that you break the ground to mine for resources like in NMS, but other than that 
Don't listen to all the people complaining about it. It's as if these people have never played a Bethesda RPG before. This game feels right at home to Bethesda's style of single player RPG.
also according to console achievement stats (Steam global stats aren't available yet) most people haven't even played long enough to reach level 10 yet, so 
Take what people say with a grain of salt.
Personally speaking, I'm disappointed in the apparent reliance on fast travel as opposed to seamless space travel
I suspect the engine wasn't up to the task
But given everything else that can happen in the game, it's not a deal breaker
I think that expectations play a big role on if you like this or not, from the reactions I've seen
I haven't been bothered by the use of fast travel.
And I just know that people would complain about it taking too long to get anywhere if there was long distance spaceflight.
People don't know what they want, and will never be happy.
I've seen people expecting a space sim being let down, and I've seen people having just seen the marketing and not being familiar with bethesda games disliking it.
Which is fair, if it's not for them it's not for them.
For someone who hated the absolute jank of Skyrim, and got bored of Fallout's pacing... probably not up my alley?
I dunno they might’ve fixed the jank
I wouldn't play it if you dislike bethesda games.
Seems less buggy than the average Bethesda release at least
it just works
I think if anything, i'd give it a whirl on gamepass
Well hey, I managed to beat tier six in the Kobayashi Maru. 
Ah yes, quality Bethesda experience. Part of the model for my ship offset itself when I sat down into the pilot chair, so now the outside is on the inside.
The combat simulator?
If it is I only got to tier 4 @south bay
... there's a Kobayashi Maru scenario in Starfield?

There are also a few Trek actors too.
There's a space combat flight simulator that you have to go through as part of joining the UC Vanguard, so people have been joking that it's a Kobayashi Maru.
Yep!
Well there's a space combat simulation. It's not deliberately unbeatable.
Anyone else had the pleasure of meeting Commander Kibwe Ikabe yet? 
I just finished his whole thing.

I was streaming last night to a group elsewhere and got that ship. We listened to his whole thing. I then decided to "RP" as a Vault Tech salesman and make my own pitch.
XD
I picked up a 15k bounty, got rid of all the witnesses and had to pay a 1.3k fine in another system when I got pulled over. After registering the ship and selling it, I made about 700 credits in total, before selling the cargo that was transferred over.
Still working on getting a higher class ship, so I can get more cash from ship disabling and/or bounty hunters.
Good luck
I managed tier 5 without any issues and without using the debug options on the computer. Tier 6 though, it’s basically required.
It’s not strictly unbeatable without it, but the odds you’ll be able to beat it straight are very very very low.
Ah right.
(downstairs neighbor had something explode, causing a large fire. Guy was awake to see this or might've died from smoke inhalation)
By sheer domino effect, this means that Todd Howard saved this person's life 
The reddit thread has OP say THANK YOU GODD HOWARD
"Capacitor NCC-1701 is acting up again, sir."
I do love the shameless references
There'd better be a scene where the panel explodes in someone's face.
I did see that happen yesterday, but not related to that.
I'm still annoyed that I got spam space called about my ship's extended warranty 
You gotta admit though, that’s a great joke 
initial version of Starfield Script Extender has been released
prepare for all the mods.
Script Extender is the base of so many mods in Skyrim/Fallout/etc.
that's incredible
Have fun! You’ll enjoy it! 
I've wanted to play a game like this for soooo long
Hope you have a good time.
Starfield live in 5 hours
I don't know what I'll do in the meantime I kinda don't wanna do anything else
I'll definitely play tomorrow evening, unless I'm so insomniac that I wake up at 3am wide awake
Which isn't uncommon for me
Someone at pcgamer must have not played skyrim recently https://www.pcgamer.com/starfields-over-reliance-on-fast-travel-makes-it-feel-tiny-but-its-just-part-of-a-larger-problem/
It's not entirely wrong, though.
At the same time when a random side quest sends me halfway across the galaxy three times, the fact that I can't make that journey in a single jump already starts getting old.
If you experience any issues getting into Starfield today, please note that we are rolling out the game and it may take time to propagate through the system. If you receive an error message such as ‘do you own this game or app?’ or ‘are you too early’ – please be patient and try…
1102
161
I don't know if this is an appropriate time to do a progressive rollout
Probably wanna do it before the Wednesday surge of people wanting to play it
I sort of get the impression that they had one system in place and play testers didn't like it and they swapped it out relatively late in the game, from this article
Oh my god my PC has finally been humbled
Preset to low settings
Gonna knock down to 1080p
Mind you I'm not sure I'd expect a three year old GPU to run a game released today at max settings at 3440x1440.
(The 3080's third birthday is next week. Doesn't time fly?)
I also suspect that a lot of the newer GPUs have skimped out on a few things and not even the latest tricks to make it easier help a lot.
I have a 1070Ti
Whether that’s actually relevant or not is debatable, given the pandemic happened during most of that time. Further, it’s a Bethesda game. It’s not going to be optimized.
This is the first Beth game that I've had issues with in the frame department. 76 technically had one too, but an ini file change gives me more frames than ever.
That 1070 might have finally met something. A salute to that card and series.
I have been hearing the 1000 series has been meeting their ends lately
It's like the older 360s or the Jasper models finally Red-Ringing. It's a shame, but it will happen.
It's been able to trounce pretty much anything at 1440p I've thrown at it
Today it has met its match
Given the 4000s are now comfortably released, that is not a bad run
Pro-tip then: Avoid forests, since it seems that shadows from trees tank the frame rate.
Could go Radeon if that is a cheaper option, but I think it might be time. Just make sure your case can handle it, along with the PSU.
Case and power supply will be fine, just looking for the best bang for the buck
Given where you are, I'm sure you can get a better deal than most.
Sasuga MicroCenter
My 3060 does okay on Medium with one of the DLSS mods from Nexus installed.
My 2080s does okay on Medium, with film grade off and a last gen CPU. I haven't tried any of the DLSS mods.
Well no I'll probably buy from Best Buy. I don't get discounts on parts but free extended warranty makes exchanges easier in case I get a bum unit
Unsurprisingly, my 4090 does fine at max with no scaling of any kind. Brute force always wins 
I’m assuming they calibrated for the 4090/4080
Recommended was my card, but probably not at 1440.
That's a pretty reasonable place to peg max 4K no upscaling
The 3000s are entering medium territory.
I still think the cut over from actually dropping PS4 / Xbox One support is going to (and already has) result in an abrupt shift in expectations
Seems that Shattered Space is now released. Steam told me that that DLC is out.
Anyway, I became an owner of a Warhammer this morning, so my space combat is more solid and I can carry roughly 15 more companions worth of weight. Just need more crew (and levels).
Well that’s weird, I’m not seeing that.
Internet says it should be next year
I have barely touched my ship
Sounds like Steam is lying
I technically have three at this point, and 450,000 credits that are probably worth spending on a good one
I have also made no outposts or figured out why I'd do that
Scanner and then R on PC. That will let you put down the thing that starts it. It also tells you what is in the circle it shows that you can extract (if any). After that, build and it will give a pop up on certain things after building them the first time.
I know how, I'm less clear on why
Presumably to make money and/or stuff but I imagine it's not that simple
It's mostly for the huge resource contracts, having the HE-3 to fly without a bigger tank, or a place to store everything things when you run out of space. I guess you can build a home and whatnot too.
I have my nice penthouse apartment to fill with giant crates
I haven't earned my citizenship yet, and no, I would not like to learn more. 
Speaking of stuff, doing quests for the ECS Constant is a great way to fill your inventory
They don't have money so they just pay you in random (valuable) junk
"thank you so much for delivering my letter, here are three antique baseballs"
I did find Masque's some Ancient Video Tapes and got a laugh.
Looks like starfield went live on steam for everyone else
Ok I played a bit this morning and I have some thoughts
It was just like, a couple of hours before I had to leave so it's not much, but I can already see what I feel I will really like and what I think will be pain points for me in this game
The game seems really good, the things I thought I would like I am really liking, the themes are right up my alley and I feel like overall, if I manage to get through the game I will come out with a really positive overall experience...
That said fuck man, there are a few things there is a decent chance I will come to despise.
The carry capacity is so fucking low, and everything weighs so much? It needed to be like, 3 times what it is now
And for a game that wants to spend a bunch of time in the menu, the menu are pretty bad.
Maybe not BG3 bad, but it's pretty close, and BG 3 had the "send to camp" button that made it bearable, this doesn't.
Who thought that the deafult button for healthkits being "0" on pc was a good idea?
I mean it is for me because I play MMO and I have mouse buttons for fucking 6-0 but that's shouldn't be the deafult
On the positive side, the fighting feels pretty damn good, much better than i expected.
I don't love how the weapons seem to be pretty random with their damage numbers, like they have hidden tiers, and you can find two identical unmodified weapons that di wildly different numbers.
I hope we get a full rebalance mod in the future that does away with this, but it's not a deal breaker for now.
On that note, I actually had to limit framerates on F76 lately, because I ran into a bug where the game would just... not let you move if framerates went too high.
The classic bethesda pitfalls feel amplified by the randomly generated content to a degree. like, my first few levels feel like I have to invest into hacking if I want to get into decent loot, in older games there would be alternative methods, like finding the key or finding a terminal to unlock the safe but doesn't seem to be an option from what I've seen in this one.
That said, said random generation seem pretty impressive.
Landed in a random place, explored a bunch of locations that felt unique and distinct, some had enemies some were jus abandoned or had wildlife, a ship landed and I went to check out, found a group of enemies shooting at me, felt like an adventure that naturally unfolded and kept me immersed.
If only the inventary didn't fill up every 15 seconds it'd have been even better
I feel like there is a masterpiece buried in this game that Bethesda quide doesn't have the skill to balance or refine, but with a few tweaks could easly get there.
This is just a few hours messing with what the game threw at me tho, I might change my mind as I play more
Have you invested into the weight lifting skill? That helps.
I will max that for sure but it barely helps
As I said, the inventory needed to be x3
I’m at level 3 of that skill currently.
Also it sucks to feel like you have to invest a bunch of perk to get basic functionality
Weight limit really sucks.
It also kind of forced you to bring arounda companion so you can give them your extra stuff, and that's another problem I kind of have, that the companion AI sucks ass
The ammo situation could be better too.
Ammo I don't mind as much since it's things you can craft right?
There is already not much depth in the game with managing resources given like O2 is essentially just stamina
And you don't need fuel for your ship
And you don't need to drink or eat
Sleeping and eating gives you exp buffs.
It's the one thing you have to balance, your ammo, so I don't mint too much that being a balancing act, especially since as I understand you can buy and craft that stuff, so it's something you can play around eventually
Vendors sadly have very little ammo.
While weight you can't really do anything about except bringing a mule which has terrible AI or keep traveling to your ship to drop stuff off which is just loading screens and break the flow of exploration
There's a lot of credits usually laying around and you can loot a lot too.
Yeah money isn't a big problem, that's good
Selling stuff also give a lot of money if you loot high value stuff
I assume I'll have to make an outpost so I can offload some stuff tho, the ship gets full fast too and of things I don't necessarily want to vendor off
I haven't had too many issues with ammo, but certain ones seem to have more than others so far.
As for space, I did abuse all my crew and space space to haul it, but I have had to limit myself to modified weapons and gear for space-to-creds ratio.
I also abused one outpost for storage space, but once I got into Class B ships, 2.8k to start solved a lot of that.
I really want to start building ships but I assume I have to build up some serious credits
Pretty sure you can edit your weight capacity with the console as well.
if it gets to the point that I'm quitting the game over it, I might add a few hundreds to the base value
My biggest issue, outside early health pickups, currently is damage-dealing. Some of the enemies, especially a few creatures, need some serious damage-dealing stuff or else you just die.
As I said earlier, I'm pretty sure that weapons have hidden tiers, which kind of sucks.
I killed a lvl 14 idiot at lvl 3 (it took a lot of ammo) and it dropped a weapon of a type that I already had that it does much more damage.
Meaning that I don't feel like in investing much in upgrading a weapon if you can just drop objectively better versions of them.
Unless you can upgrade them through tiers, which I kind of doubt if they are hidden
You have to research the addons, but that is only a resource cost, most of which you can find or build (either now or into the future).
Yeah I'm not talking about addons
I might be wrong tho, maybe it's an addon that boosts the damage, to me it looked like it just had extended mag on it but the damage was significantly higher than the other version the enemies of my level were dropping
So it would just means that a higher level enemy just drops a better base version of the weapon which was also modified on top of it, but maybe that's not it and you can just make that weapon at the bench
I think player level does have a part in it, but also the level of who you fight does too.
The weapon I’m using currently has a chance to use an elemental ammo type randomly.
Yeah all the mods seem very cool, I plan to spec on weapon modification pretty soon, assuming I can level my science perk.
I started with medicine but I feel like I'll have to also pick another one
That one is way too slow to level
What traits do you have Genryu
At least one in boost, pilot, and security to get around in the game and then go from there IMO.
Started Combat Medic, with United Colonies Native, Kid Stuff, and Terra Firma to essentially recreate a character I played in Traveller
Ooooh nice.
Sadly you can't get a mechanical arm with a chain blade inside of it
I’ve maxed out the health skill I’m currently getting the weapon damage ones done.
if there is an expansion, I kind of hope they add cybernetic aumgentation, it's like, the one thing that I feel makes sense in a space game of this kind we don't have as an option
What level is everyone currently?
Like 4, basically just started
Probably 23 after this quest for a companion is over.
I’m almost 25
But there are some people at level 100 already!
I think I only have a few missions left in the main story. But I’m just doing side quests to unlock some stuff.
I also kind of wish that the same key to bring up the local map, wasn't the one to lob grenades
It led to a few awkward situations
Do you find the ammo types confusing they don’t list what weapons they are for. The only one I know is the laser one.
That's annoying, I agree, that said once you learn what your favourite weapon use it's probably not as big of a deal
There’s a mod out where is lists what the weapon uses and it’s damage too.
Since ammo doesn't have mass I just try to have a bunch of everything
I've also taken to just dropping stuff while inside my ship
Which doesn't use cargo hold space and persists indefinitely
(though it does under some circumstances get shunted into your cargo hold, which can push it way over its limit)
Ship cargo is technically unlimited if you force the game to change home ships, but you can only do that once per home ship movement. That said, it will move everything into the holds.
It will also do this whenever you modify a ship in any way
(some quests dump stuff in there and ignore the limits too)

I have game pass so ill be trying it out this weekend
Happy birthday! 
Thank you

ooh nice Agent! Happy Birthday 🥳
Miracle happened....my laptop able to run Starfield - on the lowest setting, but who cares XD
I wish I could get a few of the mods to work, so it is what it is and it is early.
On the flip side, TIL that I can mine in space by blasting some of the smaller rocks.
I'm sorry I need to check to make sure I'm not actually stupid
Is the lockpicking minigame actually kind of hard for anyone else or is it just me?
just take your next feat in sleight of hand
the digipick minigame takes some getting used to
it also helps to level up your security skill
It certainly requires some thinking at the advanced and master levels
It definitely takes getting use too
NO FUCKING SHOT they brought back the voice actor of the Imperial Guards from Oblivion and he's in Starfield😭

Is this… AI generated? 
That art style is bizarre
Nope
just their animation style
goes back years on their channel and it's still the same
Huh
So you're saying the suspicious succulent scoundrel seems to be seeking to suck up some of our succulents?
They basically animate over themselves acting
Steam has managed to somehow merge @south bay's and my Starfield saves into a single pile.
Through some sort of account confusion and steam cloud presumably.
Definitely fucked up their Steam cloud save implementation
Starfield doesn't use cloud saves
all your gamesaves are in Documents\My Games\Starfield\Saves
It does use cloud saves.
It clearly does use cloud saves because they sync between my computers.
It just seems to dump them into a pile and not care what account they came from
And it synced from my computer to the big computer
But unlike everything else on Steam it doesn't split save games by steam account.
(Okay, every other Microsoft game also gets this wrong)
But actually merging saves from two accounts and then syncing them back to the cloud is a new one on me.
Yeahhhh, Microsoft games are a gigantic pain
adds another notch to the PC gaming pile
It's kind of crazy that I've been playing for several hours basically as an UC Vanguard Captain and I actually forgot a few times this is not what the story of the game is supposed to be about
Oh BTW, if you happen to put ah Armory on your ship, that module seems bugged to all hell so probably wait for a fix for that
thanks for the heads up. Glad to hear the faction stories are engrossing.
Ok also, I finally had a space objective, it was without spoilers, to go to a station, ask where some dude was, and then follow up by going to a debris field to either destroy his ship, or board it and take him alive. that was very good.
Sadly I reloaded becasue to take him alive I kinda need a skill I don't have yet and I want to do it that way, I'll probably actually start the main mission later hoping it gives me some good exp while I keep this other objective paused for the moment.
As long as a quest doesn't have a time limit, it'll be frozen until you get back.
Yeah, assumed as much
Ok so, I took the perk that gives you parents, and they are really fun to have around
The game generate them based on your character choices at character creation
They are hilarious, ||after you join Constellation if you tell them they just go in there and make friends with the people there, it's kind of cute||
||Apparently you can also find them inside the clubs on Neon|| 
This is very interesting
Stations are ships code side
I didn't know that
Which mean, while not currently possibile, building your own station is probably pretty easy to add via expansion or probably even mods

@dry elk
I visited Earth
jim sterling
Yeah that about checks out
I still feel like people should stop considering review scores as objective metrics that can be wrong, unless the review is objectively wrong about some of the mechanics, or systems of the game (and even then, it could be argued it is still the fault of the game for not explaining them correctly)
If the reviewer in question had a 4/10 experience with the game that's fair
Sterling also needs the rage to stay in the news and get people talking about them, even if a few of their points have some weight. It's on brand for them and nothing will ever appease them.
Also, that was rated on the XBOX version and not PC, which explains why I couldn't find it.
I wouldn't assume malice, it's not like ign or any other publication is any more desperate than Sterling for clicks, it's in fact their main trait, being desperate for clicks
I do assume some malice, since they have some legit beef with the industry as a whole, but the character they play is blending in more with the person they are.
Eh, that's not been my experience despite the fact that I rarely agree with them
Like, the opinion pieces sure, probably.
But with the reviews they have always been outspoken with their opinions even when they go against the grain.
I remember learning about them because of their FFXIII review, which was controversial at the time but was actually pretty spot on.
One of the few times I actually agreed
But mostly, I do think that people should learn to not take a bad review on a game they like as a personal attack.
That reviewer had a bad time, their perspective is probably more valuable than the 50 reviews that repeat the same points and let's be honest, half of them are probably made with chatGPT.
Some of the people that would dislike that game will read it and find it informative in a way that they wont any of the other reviews.
I don't think I'd actually disagree with basically any of the text of that review except for how upset I am about it. So sure, seems legit.
I get that and understand it. Again, I just sense them doing reviews and scores to make a splash and lash out more than anything else.
I took a look at the closest game to this, which would be Outer Worlds and they loved it. "Better than New Vegas", which is why NV is still being played and modded while the latter is forgotten.
Yeah the thing is, at the time I thought that their voice being out of the choir was extremely valuable for FFXIII, and people were basically citing the same thing, causing drama to get clicks.
So my assumption is that a few people will see this and have the same experience I had with their FFXIII review.
I do think that it's kind of fucked how the metacritic score is view as a score of success and why I feel like a Rotten Tomatoes system is much better, but that's not on Sterling or any other reviewer head.
You mention Rotten Tomatoes (can't shorthand it since RT is a propaganda outlet of Rule 2 land in the same vein as OAN and the like), but I saw an article somewhere recently that even that is being gamed.
Also their review tends to be that way because they try to use the whole scale from 1 to 10, something the industry stopped doing a long time ago.
I feel like that for other outlets to give a 4/10 the game would have to be literally unplayable.
They gave Gollum a 25 for reference.
It might be gamed in some way, i just think that it's a lot better to parse it as "95 out of 100 reviewers liked this game"
That does free people to give lower scores and still count as positive, which I feel would have a lot of positive effects on how people assign scores.
Also does take away the power of someone giving it a super low score to tank the average
If it's a 5 or a 1, it still counts a reviewer not liking it
They're a critic, so their voice will have more weight, since it is its own category.
User reviews might be better, if taken as a whole overall.
I don't know, audience scores for movies are usually really bad
The recent gaming of rotten tomatoes was about an incident in which a film that had thirteen reviews paid critics for enough positive reviews to push it over the 60% threshold. Which feels like possibly actual fraud since they then apparently used that score to sell the film to a distributor.
I see Peach also read that. I agree it was fraud, but it got them out of the dog house and pushed into theaters.
I mean more actual fraud as in I would not be surprised if their distributor sues them over it.
Yeah but this system isn't any less vulnerable from that pratice.
Also once you sass out the bad actors you can ban them from the critics pool.
The thing that gets me about that affair is that the amount of bribe required was $50 per review
Wow really? That's it?
Apparently
But I don't think it really invalidates the concept in a broader sense.
I would say that a distributor should probably hire its own critics to do its own internal reviews instead of checking the number on the free website
More broadly I don't really get why anyone cares if one person leaves a bad review.
That’s a sad amount for false reviews
At least my Congress critters get a few more zeros for that. /s
If you're going to sell out, go FIFA and make the banks behind the transactions worried.
Also actually, after trying to get the targeting system to lock on on the engines of a ship for the last 45 minutes I might get persuaded to join team Sterling 
You have to use the arrow or WASD keys to move it around. Thankfully, time slows a bit and moreso with the perks.
Yeah I'm bad at piloting perks, I just got the targeting one because I needed it to get the engines down
The set of things you cannot do at all without taking a skill is weird
"Have a jetpack! What does it do? Nothing at all until you find and acquire the right skill"
I thought the way it worked, is that if your ship had a crewmember with that skill, you could use it, but it doesn't seem to work that way.
It's a missing opportunity IMO
Having better weapons might help too. I use the PAR weapons to open and crack shields (decent overall damage and 3k range), then an EM weapon in targetting mode to disable whatever you want (and does little damage to the opposing ship, but does a number on their system).
Crew with that skill gives you some of that effect, but I don't know for sure. Help menu might explain more.
The game is not very good at explaining itself I'm afraid, but from what I've seen, crew with that skill just give a bonus, which is sometimes related to what that skill is supposed to do
I dunno about that. They like Baldur's Gate 3. Though, the video in which they talked about it was in the context of discourse around whether BG3 should be considered "a new standard"
Thanks for the heads up with the weapons, my configuration now is a lot more cozy, even tho they do cost quite a bit
And be sure to do a tour of the shipyards, since they offer more in certain systems, depending on what it is.
I think Deimos has some better weapons, Strout has better shields, and I don't know about the rest.
For now I am happy I cobbled together something that has decent cargo and works pretty well, I'll wait until I have some serious credit before doing some real customisation past this point
Also try to rank up the class of ship. You can fight and win against any class, but if you want to claim them, you need to be able to fly them.
yes and no

https://x.com/hazzadorgamin/status/1700568969730744466?s=46&t=bVzXPIZvXYyJJoEkCfgMsQ congratulations bethesda
I mean yeah, DLCs hopefully would take more than 3 months to develop
At least the kind of DLC I hope this game will get
I went with a bounty hunter 😎
They didn't do a great job explaining how the ship works. Engine and shields I understood, but no idea what the other nobs do, haha. I'll figure it out. I like how quick it got you into the open world.
Yeah basically from the moment you get the ship you can do whatever
I noticed that if you follow the story it does explain more mechanics tho
Like you kinda get a tutorial on boarding and shit, on stealth in space, etc

Yeah those are actually pretty challenging
I'm a main story kind of guy so I'll be a okay
I’ve almost finished the story. Just been doing side quests at the moment.
So far the whole UC vanguard sidestory has been exceptional
It feels like it's supposed to be main story
Hope the other faction stories deliver as much as this one
What part of it are you on?
next step is ||to land on Londinius to get the research material to either develop the viral agent, or clone the alien creatures to get rid of the terramorphs||
I just got sent to Neon in the Crimson Fleet quest line 
Have you joined the crimson fleet yet?
Because it’s recommended for after you’ve completed the main story.
You don't have a choice once the Fleet quest line starts
By whom? Why?
I did that whole thing before doing the second quest in the main story
I watched it online you can get bounties on you if you kill one of them and you’ll get it regularly like sometimes it’ll be 100K each time.
I never had a bounty on me
Did you kill any of the crimson fleet?
I did not. Killing the crimson fleet seems like a poor choice when you are a member of it.
I can do the mission to start it but I’ll do it after the main story.
I only have a few to go I think.
Im having a lot of fun in starfield
I assaulted two moon bases and found a thing that told me where a secret outpost is
I also bought a silenced double barrel shotgun which is pretty powerful
I also unlocked a door and found a big robot dog thing and a dead body
have you guys found any Doom references
down in The Well?
The Secret Outpost! note from a Spacer?
Good shit there, good shit.
Yeah
Yup
Found it on Luna
Or Earths moon
4 more mechanics that Starfield doesn't tell you about:
- There are many doors marked that you can break open by shooting or using your cutter, there are even blocked doors by ice that you can open this way too
…
💖 821
Have to click on to see the other three.
I found out about the doors while i was playing earlier. Thought it was super cool that you could do that
I fucking love this game
I just wandered through the history exhibit inside MAST.
Fascinating 
anyone could give a short description of starfield? its on gamepass but i dont have much storage space so idk if i should download it or not
Have you ever played a fallout game?
It's an open worlds game. Lots of side quests and what not. Explore, sneak and fight your way though space and caverns to complete your objectives. Very customizable level up system. Do you want to be a pilot? Gun slinger? Diplomat? The options are there.
So far I am having a lot of fun but I must say, the inventory system is really being a drain on the fun for me.
Mostly annoyed by the time I am spending just trying to get rid or put away stuff
Next goal tho, unlocking some of the advanced ship parts and putting together something strong.
a lil bit but not much cuz of bugginess
Ok so, take the gameplay loop of fallout, go someplace, explore a zone, or find a NPC that ask you to do something for them, find a complex taken over by robots/animals/bandits.
That is essentially all still there.
Add space battles, multiple planets, and more of a theme of space exploration/wanderlust rather than post apocalyptic USA
There is quite a bit of stuff you can do, the writing in the quests I did varied from okay to great, and range from random errand that is done in 10 minutes to multi hours epics.
Sarah's jacket is so cool
I'm assuming the latest Joel Haver video for Starfield has been posted here, right?
Cool feature in #Starfield you didn’t know existed
You can hold the B button in space while in your ship to walk around while your ship is on auto pilot to destination
Great for role playing and immersion
Ala Mass Effect
407
Man, I'm really into it. It's cheesy as heck but it's a bonified space adventure through and through.
The bones on it are really solid, there are a few painpoints that I wish they would make better tho
I am liking the overall experience a lot tho
I guess people mostly play this on console huh?
Not sure. I'm on PC. I'm able to hold 30 FPS on high settings, so I'm happy enough with it.
If i had to bet I'd say it's a 50/50 or close to it
Maybe 60-40 for console
But I might be wrong
I have a friend playing it on Series S and it runs well.
What do you get?
Playing on PC through Gamepass
I think it runs better than the last time I tried playing Skyrim so that's something

I’m on series X I’ve had a few times where it wouldn’t load after exiting a door but I’m sure it’ll be fixed.
I haven't tried it on Series X yet.
I play it on Series X

Cant wait to mess around with mods
I hope we get some horses.
Both Skyrim and Fallout 4 had them so probably

Space suits are overrated
That’s happened to me a few times 
“Official mod support”
If its like fallout then yikes 
Oh fuck yes

To begin our look at Starfield, and its lore, we are going to explore the Kreet Research Lab, which is on of the first locations we go to in the main story of the game. Here, we are tasked with clearing out some Crimson Fleet Pirates. However, as we explore the place, it soon be...
Man, dogfights are no joke in this game.
I updated the shields, generator, and engines and still had trouble beating a platoon of three spacers.
I don't want to know about exploits, though.
Yeah it's definitely not easy from the get go
Especially since I'm not putting points in piloting skills for a bit
I have lockpicking to max, I have some research stuff I want, and most of all I rushed the extra carrying capacity perk because holy shit
I do, still not much easier lol
Me too. I started with the Bounty Hunter history to get a few points in piloting for free
Are you still flying the Frontier?
Yeah. I only got the game today. I haven't really done much exploring. I like sticking to the main quest for awhile on these kinds of games. Anyway, this was my first big side quest mission and it had some real whoppers. Fun though.
Mhm
I only did 1-2 main mission, doing side ones since
Put aside the Frontier a while ago....boarded a pirate ship, repainted and renamed it :P
Also having another ship in progress, building from zero
Half the reason I went with bounty Hunter was to do that
That’s a thing? How do you set the destination?
@PeterOvo5 You just have the ship in full thrusters and leave it in the direction you wanna go
that is not autopilot
that's just flying in a random direction 
Which given how the game works will never actually get you anywhere
Well, there is an article/video somewhere, that somebody reached Pluto under 7 hours I think

Yeah I think that everything is actually in a shared space, it's not just pockets
Well it's pockets but each system is a big pocket
I actually like the warp system the way it is more than the NMS warp speed
It always felt like it made the universe looks so much smaller to be able to visually boost from planet to planet in that game
The cutscene and cut to black does keep the illusion intact that it's very far to me
But it might just be me
To be clear, they reached an image of pluto and passed straight through it
I do not think that counts.
Oh, nevermind then
I wonder if the pockets do include the planet and the moon then? Because if they don't they do sell the illusion really well for that
The planets and moons are apparently all just 2D textures when you aren't on them, though they're positioned correctly
Yeah that much is clear
The planets themselves do seem to be contiguous space, though divided up into cells with borders you can't cross.
What lunar posted. There will probably be a Full auto pilot mod one day
I really don't like the registration fee to be able to sell a ship TBH
Like, it takes some damn time to steal a ship and drive to someplace to sell it, even without the registration fee it wouldn't really have been that much good cash
I feel like if I mod anything, that'll be the first thing to go
They charge you to register a ship before you can sell it? That’s really lame
Yep, it's basically 90% of the profit gone
I sell 4 rifles and I make as much as a ship, it's nonsense
Yeah, screw that
I guess they realized it would basically break the economy if the player started to farm ships but that’s a pretty clumsy way of dealing with that
IDK maybe it would when you get to the later ships, but stealing a ship is a clunky ass process, and it takes a bunch of time, like, at most it would net net you 20-30k
Usually the ship isn't alone, if you want to keep the biggest ship for last since it's more valuable the fight becomes harder
Well it can be fast if you steal a landed ship, that I'll admit
Still, even then, selling the ship is already not nearly enough money to break the economy
That said, some ships start with some pretty decent components so it's still pretty good to steal one if you want to make your own
It's a significant discount rather than buying one

Not a 10/10 for sure. After doing something like 30 hours so far I’m thinking 8/10 or 8.5/10
I think it depends what you are doing at the moment
There are some parts of the game that are really really engaging, some that feel really undercooked.
Not that it's unexpected, the undercooked parts are the usual bethesda weak points
I'd say 7.5 personally. Launch was better than I had expected in a lot of ways, but that final score will take whatever DLC they add into account.
Yeah I tend to agree, if nothing else because it got old really fast of having a perpetually full inventory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KezXsReXhK4 I did find this video though from a Beth fanboy on Twitch (CohhCarnage). There are slight spoilers, but I think it gives enough info on how NG+ works, his "recommended" way to go about it, and something to consider if and/or when you do it.

For folks that don't want to watch, just know that when you think you've reached the end, make a hard save in case you want to go back. That said, the game is sorta meant to be continued.
Unsurprising given that AMD paid them not to optimize for Nvidia or Intel hardware.
So far using a midrange Nvidia card and an intel CPU I had to knock down some options but it's not running terribly
As I said earlier, I had worse performance with Skyrim special edition whenver that came out

And so far I had only one NPC getting raptured, so it's not going that bad for bugs either
I had much better performance with that than I do with this one. I’m typically seeing the 30-50 FPS range on this game with an i9-12900K and a 3080
But yeah I’ve only seen one NPC decide that descending into the floor is a good idea
this feels... idk, illegal?
not the first time either, I think the hitman games were also sponsored by AMD and they ran way better on AMD hardware than their competitors
We also havent had a major patch yet

Just AMAZING
I find a book in The Lodge, it gives me a Location on our Moon.
And it’s the Apollo 11 landing site.
With a space pirate base nearby.

BRUH. That’s the best one yet

Ohhh very nice. The flag should be white but keeping it with its colors is a fair artistic choice.
...the book for that is in The Lodge?
I need to look around in my game
I must have all the snowglobes
I found an antiques shop
i'm curious what the lable on the tape says
