Surprised that the prompt was missing “in the shape of the Flying Spaghetti Monster”
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
Ya it seems to load much faster on a PC. 1-3 seconds on a PCIE 4X4 drive.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
I agree that 76 sucked. SF is pretty great though.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
I’m considering moving my PC to the living room for this exact reason.
- Comment on Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' 1 year ago:
It’s perfectly optimized. I’m getting a rock solid 30fps. /s

Pretty sure it said that one was fake.

I’m not insulting the devs who did similar with much less. I’m insulting the devs who can’t do similar with the same hardware.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
In my defense, I preordered it after it came out.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
Even on systems with significant memory, a slow drive will create lag in RC. Moreover, RC is doing this while also having very high graphical fidelity overall, including ray tracing, which is quite memory intensive. It’s not possible without Direct storage and reasonably fast SSDs.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
Look at Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. They have completely seamless transitions between entire dimensions. They use Direct Storage, which is a Microsoft API. It’s not a good look when a Sony studio is able to achieve seamless transitions on a Windows game but a Microsoft game can’t.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
To me Mass Effect 1-3 felt more cohesive in space, because it was always clear how much you could do, whereas in SF it looks exactly like you’re in NMS, but you can’t do NMS things.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
They specifically said there were going to be loading screens and no user driven landings. I agree with not preordering games, but I also think you need to actually look at what the dev is saying before you set your expectations.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
It’s pretty good. I’m not super into fantasy so I think I prefer the story so far over TES. I do like a sideish plot I’m in to join a faction and potentially betray another faction.
I am running on a 3080 with no real hiccups. I get 40-80fps. It’s higher indoors and on the blower side in cities. This is on Ultra with resolution scaling at 77% at 4K, which is slightly above the Ultra preset.
There are loading screens when you take off and land or enter certain areas. They’re annoying, but usually just 1-2 seconds. I do wish they optimized this more.
Combat is decent. It’s not the best shooter in history but it generally works okay. Space combat is again just okay. Kind of simplistic relative to something like Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen.
- Comment on Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic) 1 year ago:
I feel the opposite. Everyone wants to be the first to dunk on a popular game. That gets you more clicks than just another 9/10.

But Crysis was also scalable. Anybody could run it on low. You needed to wait a couple years to run it maxed out.
- Comment on In its first week, Immortals of Aveum had a peak count of just 751 players on Steam. 1 year ago:
Except this engine is going to be used by every other developer, so it won’t be special. I’m guess other UE5 games will run better and look better while also being more fun.

In the Digital Foundry console review, the graphics looked awful. The game doesn’t seem especially compelling, and it is expensive as hell.
- Comment on Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now 1 year ago:
Don’t worry, you can buy a Starfield themed external drive that can’t actually run Starfield:
- Comment on Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now 1 year ago:
Which is ironic since Sony spent over a decade trying to make Memory Sticks happen. I think they’ve finally learned their lesson on proprietary storage.
PS5 will also support up to 8TB of additional storage. Series X maxes out at 2TB.
- Comment on Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now 1 year ago:
Not if you have a PS5. I just added a $99 2TB Samsung 980 Pro to mine. Microsoft really shafted Xbox owners with their Seagate partnershit.
- Comment on Square Enix has removed Denuvo from Octopath Traveler 2 1 year ago:
Glad I didn’t buy it during the summer sale. Now I can hopefully get it for less without paying the Denuvo tax.
- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 1 year ago:
Tearaway Unfolded on PS 4/5.

If I get spicy ramen, I definitely keep it skin on. It passes right through me but I get all the nutrition.
- Comment on Next Battlefield Is A "Reimagination" Of The Series 1 year ago:
Yup, Desert Combat was one of my favorite games of all time. The devs went on to work on Battlefield 2 directly I believe.
- Comment on Next Battlefield Is A "Reimagination" Of The Series 1 year ago:
I just want the OGs back. When BF was fun because the physics was simple and you could do crazy shit.
