Still some Bethesda jank but that's fine by me. One thing I don't really like is the inventory so hopefully someone makes a skyui like inventory for this. New Atlantis is massive, good lord.

If they look boring to you it isn't going to change your mind. The bulk of the game's interesting content is in cities or specifically crafted stuff.

I paid extra for early acceess, but thankfully I've got a proper 1440p display and none of this ultrawide nonsense. Also installed a DLSS mod, serms to work but no real difference in fps. Game is nice.

What page is the best way to pay for ultimate on again? Trying to find, my ultimate just lapsed I'm down to set up a multi-year subscription if tthat's cheaper (in nominal terms). Seems like this should be in the OP

ZeeBoi posted:Microsoft changed the ratio so Xbox Live Gold converted to Game Pass Ultimate isn't as good as it used to be. It's still clearly cheaper than buying Ultimate outright. Live Gold (soon to be renamed Game Pass Core) now converts to GP Ultimate at a 3:2 rate instead of 1:1 like before. So, for example, 3 years of Live Gold turns into 2 years of GP Ultimate. 3 years of any particular subscription is the max you can have on your account at any one time. So this is the answer: Acquire and activate Xbox Live Gold codes until you have 3 years or less on your account and then get GP Ultimate (you'll have to pay for 1 month at full price) to do the 3:2 conversion. That's it. Zat fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Sep 2, 2023 |

Zat posted:It's still clearly cheaper than buying Ultimate outright. Yeah, totally worked, used some Amazon Gift cards, bought 3 years for 181.62 then a month of ultimate at 16.99, worked out to $7.94 a month, which is less than 50% at least. In that 25 months I'll probably earn at least one month on Bing.

Starfield makes me horribly motion sick. If you are a person that has certain games cause this, I'd be shocked if this isn't one of them for you. FYI.

For what it’s worth, I get horrendous motion sickness from first person view in most games, but rarely have a problem in third person. Maybe try that?

There's a space segment with planets as a façade but they either expect you to be too busy fighting space pirates to notice they aren't getting any closer or using fast travel to get to the next area. If you want a No Man's Sky traveling between planets, get No Man's Sky.

SquirrelGrip posted:No, you don’t get to spend months travelling between locations to find “rocks but different”. Todd should be ashamed. If only there was some way to abstract great distances in a video game to allow them to remain fun while still allowing for the feeling of flying through space. It's a shame that nobody else has ever made a space video game that successfully does this so we're stuck with the limitations of reality. (Seriously, people wanted this and are going to be disappointed, being snide about it isn't going to change that.)
