this could just be skyrim in space and id still play it for like 1000 hours, i fuckin love space games, i feel like its been ages since we got a space game from a big studio. hopefully this sells gangbusters and we get a space game renaissance.

i hope this triggers at least some kind of a space game resurgence. its been kinda lacking in that area lately from big developers.

I'm a sucker so I paid the 30 bucks and it worked. Game isn't bad but it's no Armored Core 6.

yeah i was literally just playing AC6 before starting this and whooo, coming off BG3 and AC6 into this is kinda jarring, those 2 games are loving amazing and this is pretty mid so far but im sure it'll get better

make sure it didnt turn your render resolution down, after choosing high mine was set down to like 65% or something, put it back to 100 and that should help

and yeah i kinda get the fast travel complaints or whatever, its kinda weird you can just like, be sitting in a cafe, bring up your map, select your next mission on a place you've ever been before and in like 2 clicks be orbiting mars with 0 cutscenes or anything, like i had a mission to go mars, never flown to sol system, never flown anywhere except the intro and bam i fast travelled there and was on the planet in like 30 seconds

so far the star part of starfield is basically a menu simulator, its kind of bad, i had tempered my expectations after like, no flying to surfaces or anything like that but even that being said the boarding and space flying all seem pretty superficial i guess, its all just cells you fly around in

like if you could supercruise between planets or something it'd make space feel better, this feels like a space game without actual space stuff to do

ok so like why is it a loading screen to land (ok i understand this) and ALSO a loading screen to leave your ship

queeb
Jun 10, 2004

i wonder if theres cutscenes not firing or something, even just a scene showing your ship aligning to the new planet/star, warping, then arriving and whatever would help with immersion, just black loading screens every time so far for me basically means im only seeing minimal space stuff

edit: I guess grav jumping while in space kind of does that but when going around for missions and stuff you just teleport

Going to give up on my beat main story and then actually play on ng+ idea and just settle in and play normally, now that I've slept and I'm over my initial disappointment. It's fallout 4 in space, and while I didn't like fallout 4 at all, I'll give this a fair shake playing that way and see.

no you just tab through the options on the chest, slot them into the holes that fit

you have everything you need on each chest to unlock, sometimes you need to use 2 or more options on each ring

So I started over and made a character to lean into for RP, gave myself a nice apartment and parents so I have some money pressure, and an adoring fan cause lol, and I'm gonna treat this like a new fallout/Skyrim rather than a space exploring game.

Now that I'm exploring the heck out of the first city I have so many side quests jeepers

yeah the thing is so far I have 0 of that feeling like i got with skyrim where i can hop on the horse, go riding and find a ton of cool poo poo as i go around. I havent really had that experience at all in starfield, my first time through skyrim felt way better for exploration. it feels more like a ton of little areas of interest connected by fast travel

Weightlifting is up there with tier 1 boost packs in the “every character should probably take this” category.

It’s also pretty easy to get the skill challenges through normal play so for the low cost of like 4 skill points you can double your natural carrying capacity

But yeah the second there’s a no encumbrance mod on console I’m palm slapping that poo poo in.

yeah i consoled that poo poo away immediately on PC.
