30 FPS looks real lovely on my OLED, something about 30 FPS camera panning just makes it a juddery mess. also it feels a lot worse but the judder thing makes some games unplayable

I hadn't watched much Starfield stuff until this recent video, but I was really surprised to see that you actually fly the ship at all. I always assumed it would be like a Destiny ship that looks cool in cinematics and loading screens lol

I'm gonna download this game and then remember how much I hate Bethesda Dialogue there has to be a better way to talk to characters than them looking dead-eyed into the camera while reciting paragraphs at you? I never hated talking to people in Mass Effect but maybe that's because your character wasn't mute

I think I'm going to enjoy doing the Bethesda thing in a sci-fi context. But the ship flying is so weird and disappointing, you're basically just flying around in front of a big pretty static image. Why bother? I guess they wanted SOME ship piloting in this game and this is the best they could do without building actual solar systems to fly around in. Though maybe they should have considered doing exactly that.

Elite Dangerous wouldn't work without being able to casually reach an insane level of speed, but it makes the game playable and fun. just write some lore around it and call it a day. though I'm sure that's years of extra development to create actually flyable systems

netizen posted:On series x it looks a lot like Cyberpunk to me. Even the way people walk around cities is very cyberpunkish. Totally agree, I was just thinking that. Especially the environments. I think it's because they have this big futuristic architecture, but the basic lighting makes it all look kind of cartoonish.

I'm okay with the general structure of the game and how the spacefaring works. It's the same issues I had in every Bethesda game that's bringing it down for me. some things off the top of my head: The dialogue is so unnatural. A million things littered around the world that you can hoover up for no apparent reason - why is that still a thing? Why can't all my resources be "stored" somewhere and available at all times instead of taking up inventory space and forcing me to juggle them between me, my companions and my storage boxes? It's anti-fun and really makes me not want to bother. There's a lot of good things in this game and the amount of work they put in to gussy parts of it up is evident. But this dated engine is such an albatross. Other gripes: - Needs a more detailed journal or mission tracker - LOCAL MAPS, jfc every space station is a drat maze as it is - super minor but why does my companion follow me around the Lodge like a lost puppy? let's just meet up outside when I'm ready to leave - some kind of Sparrow-like thing to get around faster would be welcome AndrewP fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Sep 4, 2023 |

The weird jagged whirl that happens when you turn is giving me motion sickness. I have GPU, so I tried it on PC and it works fine (and looks great) but I'm not even halfway through BG3 and that's what I'll be playing on my PC when I don't want to sit on the couch. OLED?

I'm having the most fun rolling into random stations, just creeping around doing my thing. But sometimes the classic environmental storytelling seems a little thin. Need more terminals, notes, logs, etc.

There are little dialogue touches that could make everything feel better and more natural. I mentioned the thing where when you end a conversation with a companion, they say something like "so long". uhh, not going anywhere, we're running around together. when you walk into the lodge everyone has some random canned line. Coe just greeted me with "Any day you make it through is a victory." Uh, yeah, nice to see you too. How about a simple "Hey, glad to have you back" or "how did it go?" or something like that programmed to hit when you return? actually, these random canned lines happen constantly when you're around other characters and they always seem super out of place.

These main missions are lame. Go grab the thing and bring it back. Last time I brought back a fragment and stuck it in the lodge, nobody even reacted. I expected a little cut scene at least thanking me for my dangerous mission and finding Andreja. Ungrateful fucks

Wellll poo poo I did not expect to get caught with some contraband and conscripted by the UC Navy to be an undercover mole against the Crimson fleet. I was hoping it would give me the option to inform the Commander how many of those fuckers I’ve already blasted just exploring places. actually a pretty cool development.

I've been playing this and I thought I was going to bounce right off of it, but I keep firing it up. Despite MenuField and fast travel overkill, I'm having fun bopping around the galaxy and doing poo poo. This is probably a dumb question and I know they're not really the same kind of game, but how does Starfield compare to Mass Effect: Andromeda? I never played it but the pitch for both games would seemingly be the same, albeit less sandboxy for ME:A. Are they completely incomparable?

This Ryujin quest line just got real stupid. “Sneak into the building to secretly plant a device on the COO’s computer even if you have to incapacitate half of our security guards” I understand it’s probably just an excuse for a stealth mission but it doesn’t make sense and the stealth ain’t good enough and there’s no loving map so I’m flying blind

Lol. I finish the Background Checks quest where I infiltrated the corporate Ryujin building (that I am ostensibly an employee of), alerted dozens of guards and killed at least a few. then a few minutes later I waltz back to the building in the same clothes I've been wearing this whole time, and it's back to being populated with normal employees and guards greeting me like "hey sup".
