I saw someone wearing the original Samsung galaxy skin last night.
https://fortnite-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy_(outfit)
It was a skin that required you to purchase the new Samsung galaxy, so it was a $800-$1000 skin and is very rare.

Bethesda's customer support team has been responding to negative Starfield reviews on Steam.

Starfield had a strong start, becoming the "biggest Bethesda game launch" of all time. Those numbers rose over the first few days of release, with Starfield's concurrent player count previously beating Skyrim's concurrent player record on Steam.

But despite these initial player numbers, Starfield currently sits with a 'Mixed' review status on Steam. At the time of writing, 69 percent of the game's 80,365 reviews on the platform are positive. The rest are, obviously, less generous.
Our video team chatting all things stealth in Starfield.

Perhaps in a bid to turn these negative Starfield takes into a positive for the game, members of Bethesda's customer support team have started responding to certain reviewers on Steam.

As spotted by social media account JuiceHead, the team has taken the slightly unusual step of explaining to the people leaving these negative reviews that the game is good, actually. It has then asked them to consider the amount of effort that went on behind the scenes to make a game of such scale.

In response to one user that called Starfield's story "generic" and the gameplay "boring", one member of Bethesda's customer support staff replied with a post highlighting everything players can experience in the game.

"You can fly, you can shoot, you can mine, you can loot!" it wrote. "Starfield is an RPG with hundreds of hours of quests to complete and characters to meet. Most quests will also vary on your character's skills and decisions, massively changing the outcome of your playthrough."

It then suggested the reviewer gives the game another chance, but this time tries different characters with different backgrounds.

"You will feel like you are playing a totally different game," it said. "Put points in different skills from a character you've previously created, and you are now faced with completely different decisions to make and difficulties to encounter."

Meanwhile, when another user lamented the amount of loading screens, the support team replied imploring the reviewer to "consider the amount of data for the expansive gameplay that is procedurally generated to load flawlessly in under three seconds".

In response to a reviewer that appears to have suggested they found Starfield's planets empty, the Bethesda team said this was "by design" and "not boring".

"The intention of Starfield's exploration is to evoke a feeling of smallness in players and make you feel overwhelmed. You can continue to explore and find worlds that do have the resources you need or hidden outposts to look through," it wrote.

Bethesda is responding to negative Starfield reviews on Steam. Absolutely bizarre if you ask me and despite media attention this hasn't stopped, the last response is from today pic.twitter.com/ay589tg8cc

In Eurogamer's Starfield review, our Chris gave the game three stars.

"Starfield pairs near-impossible breadth with a classic Bethesda aptitude for systemic physics, magnetic sidequests, and weird vignettes, " he wrote.

"But in sacrificing direct exploration for the sake of sheer scale, there's nothing to bind it together."

starfield isn't trash, it's just one of the most unfinished games i've ever seen being sold as a full game. say what you want about fallout 4's writing pacing etc. at least it appears to be a full, completed game

i think Baldur's Gate 3 should stay out of the race this year to build up political capital

baldur's gate 3: redemption!

https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=925241

quote:

In Patch 4 we introduced a fix that would prevent the Scrying Eyes in Moonrise Towers from immediately calling the guards on you when stealing, even if you were sneaking, or invisible for example.

This fix had the unintended consequence of causing unnoticed thefts & acts of vandalism to remain stuck forever within the �did anyone see me� pipeline, rather than timing out and moving on, as is intended. Essentially, your �DM� - in a real-world sense - constantly thinks about the acts of theft & violence the player keeps doing, without ever moving on or verbalising them. Mulling on it ad infinitum.

These unnoticed and eternally-active acts of theft & violence eventually bogged down the game. The more a player commits those acts, the more the game is trying to keep that all up to date and in memory, and so the more slowdowns start happening. Essentially, the �DM� eventually becomes unable to operate. By Act 3 this caused slow-down issues, which after some sleuthing we�re extremely happy to say we�ve solved in Patch 5, which is in testing and scheduled to release this week.

i'm guessing they're probably related as all the stolen items in inventory would still be marked as stolen and the game is stuck running code for who may have noticed it

I noticed this happening too. You never really "get away" with a theft. I stole some armor from Dammon, he didn't notice, I left to do other quests, then I came back later and had to apologize to him.

yeah i figured that might be the case. the inventory was by far the worst part of bg3 but it was still a drat fine game.
