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

[RobotSquirrel]

There are perks that either increase weapon damage, or unlock new recipes etc. But to buy the next rank of perk you have to complete a "challenge". For example to upgrad to Lasers Rank 2 you have to kill 20 enemies with a laser weapon.

correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't that exactly how Cyberpunk's skill system worked? I recall there were challenges for things like swimming.

 

[Herumor]

While the game looks good indoors, outdoors it's just a fucking blurry ugly pile of shit. No vistas, no sence of wonder

today I will remind them

Where's that screenshot in the spoiler from? I wanna say Xenoblade Chronicles X.

 

[Reinhardt]

Please let this be the new arrow in the knee. Let it be something that's actually fucking funny.

Coincidentally that's how some black are looking at poor white in originally white countries...
So, I guess that can be excused by a realism.

it's literally "at least he still have his constitution" african school pic

 

[tastywaffles]

Do NPCs have any uniqueness or permanency? Like, are they traveling somewhere? Can you follow them home? How alive are they?

So there are settlements you can craft, yes? How do those settlers behave?

Fextralife also showed themselves to be shills, saying the gameplay cannot be described as if it's some kind of esoteric shit.
MF, it's a FO4 space themed mod. Can't be described my ass.

 

[likash]

The only one with some spine is that dork Angry Joe. That dude earned my respect when he handled that bitch who falsely accused him of sexual assault. He also hates EA with passion and that's another +.

Wtf, you were talking as if you were playing the game just a few posts ago and whining about lack of exploration (bullshit unless you just walk around empty planets like a moron), and now it turns out you're not even playing.

Bunch of fake ass niggers, Vic the only real one that posts here while also playing.

Game's so shit it defies explaination, got it.

After farming a bunch of materials I am now looking into the crafting and outpost building, and yup, it's the fallout settlement building mode. You can place an outpost beacon if you are far enough away from the city (1km I think) and then just start building, more advanced structures can be unlocked through research. Both research and construction are of course fueled by all the loot you can collect from minerals, plants and monsters.

Spoiler

Edit: You can zoom out quite a bit, oh boy, how complicated/huge can these outposts get?

Woopdidoo
The game is piss easy already
What's the base building for other than farming le reddit uparrows?

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

I know where the issue is... For the blurry screenshot you have everything downscaled even at ultra resolution the first thing i did when i booted the game was set upscale 100% tho i play 4k basically

will update once I have figured that out

The game is piss easy already

I have never played Monster Hunter nor No Man's Sky, but if these games are anything what I think they are, I'm pretty sure Starfield incorporates it into the game. I can see myself hunting down rare, huge aliens for rare crafting components. And the outposts are probably there to help me explore the planet. Because it's impossible to do so on foot (I've tried), they are just way too huge. Oh, and I think you can build resource extractors, and build robots and all that good shit.

Yes I have set it to 100% too but it's still blurry in outdoors areas. :shrug:

It is in some areas indeed. Not always but seems like an issue mainly when there is the bright plus myst combination

[Vic]

yeah, there's basically zero NPC reactivity, can't kill named NPCs are can't even shoot some of them (the girl miner in the tutorial for example, you shoot right through her). Also my companion has been trying to kill this bird alien in the sky for 20 minutes now with a pistol.

Bethesda amirite?

 

[Reinhardt]

This game looks absolutely miserable
It's depressing just looking at it
And every NPC is black or mixed so normal people can't even escape into a nice fantasy world
Is this a demoralization psyop?

Yeah, this is what I was saying earlier in another thread:

Big studios get all their money from an initial sale. They mainly care about the first 10 hours or so, since that's all people finish, and they heavily rely on big money and on the media machine for ads, reviews and buzz in general.

But then you have Japanese and Korean gacha games, which although complete rip-offs are funded by user purchases. Users need to like the game content and want additional content enough to pull out their wallets. Regularly.

Go to any gacha game and count the number of black women vs the number of white women. Real Princess and the Frog reality check. FGO, for example, has I think one actually black woman out of 375 characters.

The problem is, the whole world has gotten used to blacks being forced into every media. So, for an initial sale, where all you're seeing is a commercial and only start thinking about this stuff hours later, it's not a problem.

But if you really had to choose with your wallet the kind of characters you want in the game, you'd probably pick European, Asian or any other race first.

Yeah, the chinese gacha game I'm playing has only 1 black character. Didn't even know about them, had to check when I read your post.

in another eden there are ~5 dark-skinned characters total. and 3 of them are dark elves. and none of them is even that dark-skinned. probably blackest nigga in the game -

If that's the blackest nigga then... the others are albinos!
This is the only darkie in my gacha:

MURZYN!

in another eden "dark-skinned" looks like this

Dude waht the fuck is wrong with the eyes in this game

They got cray cray eyes.... It's because the developers of this pile of steaming shit are all 1,000 cock stare women with the same look.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I see many comparisons made with Outer Worlds, saying it's better. I've also thought of Open Worlds quite often whle playing, but my comparisons are always more favorable to Starfield. It is much more open, not only as locations but as mechanics and means to develop and express your character.

 

[Vic]

Companions/Crew have high interactivity with your outposts, like they are opening drawers on your workbench, turning knobs and dials and generally trying to look busy. Big improvement from FO4

I came across this and actually laughed. It's great. Spectacular.

[Vic]

If you liked settlement building in FO4, SF is gonna blow your mind.

I'm not a very creative person, so this will do for now. My own private abode away from the niggers in the big city.

Edit: Maybe I should place a gigantic watch tower like this:

Spoiler

Edit2: A military grade scan booster, yeah, outposts are going to be huge in size.

Spoiler

Edit3: Yeah, huge

Did anyone else notice that the hair colors of the random NPCs in New Apelantis change on reload?

Double posting now due to the ESG brain rot?

And don't forget the "dark elves" in Overlord.

Not a game, but the Japanese have some interesting definitions of "dark".
