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

Get bent starcucks

Visuals look so bad in Starfield, but they also aren't that great in Cyberpunk.

I have no idea how normies think this shit is acceptable. Where are the graphic whores? Have modern devs ever set foot outside to check out how the real world actually looks like?

I mean this shit is just as bad as the poop brown or vomit green filters they used to slap games with only a few years ago. Now everything looks like Borderlands for some fucking reason.

He is dying inside because he has to shill while looking objective when he makes the review. Bethesda even sponsored his first 2 hours of gameplay. This dude actually plays the games and knows that Starfield is bland garbage. You can't justify paying 70$ no matter how well you shill. Quality wise it's a 20$ game branded as this great game and shit that's never been done before.

If you ask me, he made his bed.

I don't think CP2077 was "total fucking trash" on release. It was p. damned solid, actually.

That wasn't the consensus across the entire medium at launch.

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

Wow angry pendejo bing bing wahoo retard.

Hilarious bug #1285:

If you take off your spacesuit and helmet, but actually have the helmet's built-in flashlight turned on, your character's eyes will still magically project that flashlight's beam just as if you were still wearing said helmet!

This also happens to introduce a flickering in whatever sun you're looking up at.

There a tons of graphical and sound glitches, but my biggest gripes are no sentient alien races, almost non existant space exploration/combat and no under water exploration.

Still goty tho

 

[fizzelopeguss]

But you can walk around Venus in your shitty suit. Daylight with 500 Celsius? Duh, that's nothing. There's even copy-pasted from other planets 'abandoned mine' with a bunch of fellas, waiting lonely on this planet until someone arrives so they can shoot him, lmao

I had a load of purple crystals all over pluto...

I don't think visuals are as much of the point as attention to detail and effort to build a simulated world.

The NPCs in Starfield outright ignore a man standing there shooting up the city. They walk around like robots with creepy eyes.

 

[Vic]

yeah no NPC reactivity either, might be an engine limitation

Always bet on Todd making every competition on the market look not that bad in hindsight.

Gay bear sex, you say? Hm... can't be that bad. I bet he doesn't look like an overweight negro with down syndrome, and I won't have to profess my eternal love to him in six equally cringeworthy simp lines.

No shit, Sherlock. Cottonfield is turning into the most ambitious game from 2004.

also to your comment that Starfield hasn’t achieved anything technologically: have you looked at the scale of the planets? Each one is mind boggingly huge. And there’s shit ton of them. It has to be the biggest game in scale ever made.

From the Elite Dangerous Wiki

Elite Dangerous contains a vast 1:1 scale simulation of the Milky Way galaxy based on real scientific principles, current scientific data and theories. It includes around 400 billion star systems, and is modeled on actual galactic charts. Planets and moons rotate and orbit with 1:1 scale in real-time, thus constantly changing a system's environment. The galaxy is divided into 42 Galactic Regions.

Speaking of which, I should finally check out Rodina and Evochron Legacy.

Edit: No Man's Sky is also massive and supposedly even bigger.

Proc gen man, it's crazy.

not being completely serious but Starfield apparently has parallel universes that you go into with New Game+ so it’s infinitely bigger than ED that is only about one galaxy

 

[Jenkem]

You can see how much better the game is looking (visually) and how much smoother it's running now with the DLSS3 mod, but why is my character defying gravity by leaning forward like that?

the man has commitment

they're busy being impressed with Kojima games

I know that i was just commenting on the visuals looking like shit too, in both games.

Everything is fuzzy, washed out, with pastel looking colors, no depth, no natural lighting and so on. Half Life 2 looks like fucking Rembrandt compared to Cyberpunk let alone Starshit:

The last game that impressed me visually was Kingdom Come: Deliverance. All this modern AAA shit that can melt your 1000 dollars graphic card all look like diarrhea even compared to games released 20 years ago.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

game is shit but I can't stop playing

Thats not allowed on the Codex

You played it, that means you like it.

This will be one-third of the Codex by the end of the week:

 

[Modron]

Leave Fedora alone he just needs fouler shit to wash the taste of Baldur's Gate 3 out of his mouth.

 

[Tyranicon]

Speaking of other space games, is X4 good?

It's currently on sale. I'm assuming they timed it to get that wave of Starfield refunders.

I hear it's a huge decline over previous X series. Anyway, X3: Albion Prelude would be a good series entry, it's easy enough while still allowing you to do aplenty. Has its issues, but is overall a very good space game (no planet landings though if that's what you're for! There are other games for that)

 

[Crispy]

Outstanding in many ways, rather infuriating in others.

The flight model is good, the fleet management and build-up are epic, but some of the assets in the game are baffling, such as the way NPCs look and the fact that the African race seems to have somehow populated the entire galaxy.

 

[Hace El Oso]

Man, is this shit like real performance or some sort of abstract test? I'm running an i7 9700K, is this what 5 years of CPU development does? I've been running games like CBP and BG3 just fine, graphs like this are surprising.

Yeah, i7 8700k here and I run everything without trouble.

I do have Albion. Might just redownload that to scratch the space itch. The X series is the only one of its genre to get capital ships right IIRC.

Nig nog please this is on medium/high settings without any rtx played on gtx 1070

I bet even starslop looks better when you actually play it instead of watching shitty compresed video
