Gotta say, the game gets a lot better as you progress. I'm digging the faction quests I'm doing.

Look at this! I... how is this...

Isn't this 2023? This screenshot is untouched. This is basically running the game in 1440 at maxed out details. This is the FIRST CITY YOU VISIT.

I have no words.

Looks like a liberal city. Maybe Portland, Oregon.

lack of polish seems to be the norm of pc games this year including Baldurs Gate 3. This is not only the problem with Starfield but with any game in 2023.

Why is everyone flip-flipping now with Phantom Liberty around the corner? Did a late shipment of CDPR Jackets finally arrive in your mailbox?

What the last 25 years of videogame industry has taught me, no matter how unbelievably shitty the latest hyped up AAA trash turns to be, the next one is gonna be much, much worse.

Anyone completed Starfield and can provide any detailed review of the game?
Game has been out 3 days. Any review you get of the game will be of someone who has skipped far too much content. There is more than enough in this thread since August 31st until now to form an opinion. Your lazy ass doesnt deserve a review. Go back and read.

The difference between you and me is you seem to enjoy eating shit. It's not my problem, to each their own.
Gee, I could have sworn the last several posts of mine in this very thread have basically been shitting all over Starfield. This is the Starfield thread, isn't it? Have I gone senile?
Yes to all of the above.

:lol:

This screenshot was just taken, with the game's graphical settings all set to LOW.

This is on an RTX4090. My processor is an i9.

Look at the fps in the lower-right corner. That's not 176, that says 76.

76 frames per second with this scene in LOW settings on a 4090.

I can't stop shaking my head.

... it looks like you're playing some mod for Half-Life 2 or Jedi Knight or something. :lol: So sad.

Recommended requirements: NASA supercomputer.

Todd's been trying to tell us all along.

Also, steam madlads realized they can just refund their $100 version of the game to buy the base edition. Lel.

What level of settings is this? It looks worse than Mass Effect 1. :lol: Where is all the processing power this game requires going? I don't know what the point of all the advancements in CPUs, GPUs, and other architecture has been.
I dropped it to high because my 4070ti was struggling to maintain 60fps in cities which barely helped. Performance tanks occasionally in combat. Starfield has shit optimization

Alanah Pearce is the shill who was featured in Cyberpunk 2077 as an NPC, and before release SHILLED it to the moon and back calling it an evolution of next level RPG's with the highest detail open world ever created.

What's the matter, Alanah? Did Todd not offer to put you in the game and pay you for the privilege?

Straight consequence of "temporal reconstruction" replacing anisotropic filtering, plus cascade shadows not extending even at 30fps why would you put detail there when the floor is eaten up by temporal and distance by cascade. Real time lighting is so worth it. Muh artistry iterations :lol:.

It'd be funny if the game asks you for your pronouns, then bugs out and starts using the wrong ones.
Would be shocked if they didn't just give the mc some random title all npcs call you like wayfarer, pathfinder, starchild, shephard, et cetera.

Next gen feature, you'll be able to choose from a list of pre-recorded titles. However, due to budget constraints, that part of dialogue will all be voiced by the same actor, inserted into the rest of the sound files like in movies edited to be shown on network television.

It'd be nice to have a mod though to change some of the more cringe-worthy titles to something like "Oi, dickhead!"

Characters in the background look like they're Sims. This is why technology isn't there yet for TES VI, modern hardware can only recreate graphics on a 2004 level right now.

All I can read is ramblings about political correctness and faggot posts like yours. Not a proper review in sight.

Like how the butler robot in Fallout 4 knows all those names except it's pronouns.
