Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Early gameplay I watched. About what I expected except for the disguised loading screen where you stand in place near a planet. You can wander into places with higher level enemies but doesn't look like it makes a big difference.

So this is how ugly women succeed on twitch.

You hope they're women.

But I skipped around and she hit major lag in some city. It slowed her 4090 to a crawl at 99% use.

By the way, it's been out for about an hour. If you purchased Starfield, you can wait until next week when it releases.

it's already cracked

2 hours to extract the iso

I find your lack of SSD disturbing

Btw the rune cracked version comes with installer(after you mount the iso). Why de helll are using 7zip to extract it?

the iso is zipped, so I'm extracting it first on my HDD before I mount and install it on my SSD. Had to delete a bunch of porn to make space for this shit, hope it's worth it.

I think this has been, to my big surprise honestly, an extraordinarily good year for games so far, certainly the best since the PS3 era started I believe, but this here ain't it. I just watched about 2h of this crap on Twitch, the game's just awful and mods won't salvage it. The UI is probably the single most soulless one I have ever seen in my entire life (including unmodded Skyrim), game's obviously a parade of woke trash in your face 24/7, body type 1-2, walk style 1-2 (in case you want your male err, body type 1 character wiggling his ass while he walks), pick your pronouns, the atmosphere is REALLY subpar (which is probably this game's biggest sin), dialogue is terrible, loading screens galore, space gameplay is BEYOND godawful, all quests I've seen were seriously unfun and uninteresting. It's baffling, really. It's like Bethesda thinks that the sum of a bunch of terrible pieces will miraculously turn into greatness. No, it won't.

Edit: forgot to say that the combat, to no one's surprise, is shit and has no oomph feel whatsoever.

you are shit

Piracy isn't just wrong, it sounds like a big waste of time.

You spend all this time to try a game when you could just buy it on Steam and refund it within two hours.

hey let me know whether it is better to run this game in AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards? Bethesda had an agreement with AMD for this game.

Starfield has the highest modding ceiling for any game ever. The stupid number of planets is so modders can fill in the galaxy with custom content without causing conflicts. After a few community patches, Starfield will be better than Skyrim

I think probably the biggest Lie Todd told here was that space travel was open world and seamless, its not, its basically like Wing Commander where you press a button and a cutscene plays.
All of the corner cutting they've done on this game is some of the worst they've ever done.

Here, watch a review from someone who knows Bethesda games:

Skyrim in Space, not Fallout 4 in Space. 45 hours played, "barely scratched the surface." Bug counter: 6 minor ones, 1 broken quest start. Performance stable (~90FPS?) at 1440p Ultra on a 13900KS with a 4090, heavier on the GPU than the CPU.

Main quest at the player's discretion, very freeform, important but not urgent. Side quests "improved." Persuasion is cool, combat is okay-ish, stealth is the usual, lockpicking gets old, enemy AI "surprisingly good" with tactics (except "monumentally dumb about stealth"), remote companion control is gone and they're stupider than enemies. Lots of weapon variety, careful about space suits 'cause Todd likes to automatically kick you out of the ship when you land.

Space flight disappointing, orbit only, the controls are "horrible." No joystick, controller is better than mouse (fuck's sake). Outposts are very different from settlements, very streamlined, you build whole units, they can produce resources and you can squirrel away unwanted companions since your ship has only so much room. Ship building looks cool, but you have viability parameters.

UI is "standard" for Bethesda (lol). The HUD sucks as usual, non-modular, stupid XP and location notices in the middle of the fucking screen.

Conclusion - thoroughly enjoying it, very stable, looks replayable. Mods will fix the rest.

>doesn't explore planets
>hasn't finished the game's 15-hour main story, which he claims to be focusing on, despite playing for 2 weeks
>10/10 great gaem!
Sounds like a Bethesduh game reviewer alright.

>Runs stable on a PC costing more than a house

apples and oranges. for one SF is 12 years newer than skyrim, plus it's space vs fantasy setting.

I heard someone say that the junk planets are procedurally generated on your PC. Meaning that you can't actually mod them, since they'll be different on someone else's PC, and even on every new game.

It seems like exploration is just useless in general.

 

[Vic]

modders always find a way

 

[El Presidente]

Modders are not even human beings, they're backend speedrunners

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Maybe you can mod a planet and then share the seed that generated it so other people can have it overwrite that planet's gen in their save.

It's not corner cutting. They were always just using their old Morrowind engine, which meant there would be seems everywhere, since it's built around loading zones and loading indoor maps.

As with BG3, the dev using their own engine was to save money, which means they aren't going to waste the time and money to turn Netimmerse/Gamebryo into Unreal 5.

modders will improve the game and Bethesda will reap the benfits

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

It's probably be simpler to mod in a custom map that replaces the planet somehow.

There's probably some setting in the engine that effectively says "this is a procedural map, generate a new map" instead of pointing to a pregenerated map. Just change that to your custom map. But it may not be very easy to make said custom map. We'll see.

If I went on vacation and someone in the city I was visiting looked at me like that, I'd turn around and go home immediately.

When I was a kid, the one black teacher in our school used to do that. Thankfully I only had to deal with her once.

Considering how bland the Fallout 4 modding community is compared to Skyrim (Even compared to Skyrim SE/AE versions) I highly doubt it. Just compare the most trending mods for each game on the nexus. Skyrim still receives some major DAR animations/mechanics, locations, specific graphic updates alongside some booba mods of course. Fallout 4 is completely stale with mostly mods being new weapons/gear.

Starfield has a long way to go. With Bethesda being more annoying than ever with their store and microtransactions.

Space game with fake space? Lmao
