everyone seems fine with the $30 fee to play starfield on labor day weekend so i think they should see how far they can go with the concept. horse armor was mocked but now people pay $1million USD for csgo knife skins so clearly the market just needed to be developed and normalized.

the next big game should cost $1,000 on release and go down in price $5 a day so people can choose what price point works for them based on how eager they are to play the game.

I can still pay $0 to play csgo without knife skins and its the same game!

yeah they def shouldve put it more towards the beginning of the game as like a first depths temple since u can build stuff that is just as effective by that time and dont have to ride around on them to use them

eh no game is perfect

starfield on athlon 3000g attempt 2: fullscreen windowed ran at 5 fps, so I played in a 720p window, which increased the framerate to a brisk 8fps. dips back to 5fps in combat. the resolution often goes all the way down to 240p, like I'm playing it on a Switch (funny considering I played TOTK with an emulator with a PC with grunt within 8% of the PS5)

loading space or a "dungeon" celestial body takes 2 full minutes, and I'm running on an ok SATA SSD with 3/4 MX500 4K IOPs and 500mb/sec read speed so there's something CPU bound about the loading as well, with this CPU's 2 cores 4 threads.

I imagine a 3400g would play the game at 20fps, but i'm going to go play on my laptop and see if it dies under the weight of Starfield since on my 3000G 8fps is 50% of what I'd consider playable, especially at 240p. Even though I was used to games running at 6 fps back in the early-mid 90s :negative:

all the starfield talk and fallout talk (in the asia thread) made me consider reinstalling and playing the fallout 4 dlc that i never got around to but then i looked at some mods/images and i thought about the amount of time i'd have to invest in making it not look like absolute poo poo (but still with garbage animations) with a UX from the 90s and it was difficult to muster the will

rebound the use key and now I can't loot space wrecks (in NMS it was even worse, I couldn't take off from planets)

important update (thank u Games Goons):

DaveKap posted:

Just in case anyone else rebound their activate key and is confused why they can't loot in space, I figured it out.
The tutorial is lying to you. It tells you to simply use your activate key, but that isn't correct. You're supposed to use your "select target" key to select the loot target and then the select target key also ends up being your "take item" key and your "Ship Action 1" binding is the detailed transfer key.

Something got mixed up between the tutorial devs and the keybinders on this one. So glad I figured it out.
