As it stands, you can’t even walk around your own ship while it’s underway.
I dare you to list 3 game engines that actually can handle that, while still having other ships and obstacles rendered outside of the player’s craft

Tbh, their reply sounds like they’re making it up. Physical releases have been pretty notorious for not having the full game on disk and/or requiring massive day-1 patches

Except it wasn’t intended to be a remaster. They used Skyrim as a testbed to overhaul the Creation Engine to x64 to prepare it for Fallout 4, and by the end of it they effectively had a new, more stable version of Skyrim so they released it for free to everyone that already had the base game and DLC’s.
And this was mainly a project for the engine developers. All of the artists, level designers, etc. were focussed on Fallout 4 at the time

I’m willing to bet that you’ve never actually played Starfield, you’re just parrotting what others have complained about.
Does Starfield have problems? Yes. But anyone who goes “hurr durr ancient engine” clearly hasn’t played a Bethesda game since Skyrim
- Comment on Starfield PS5 players demand refunds, reporting widespread bugs and glitches that leave the game "unplayable" 22 hours ago:
Starfield’s main issue is that it isn’t fleshed out as much as the other Bethesda games. And there’s a lot of mods to do that for Elder Scrolls and Fallout. The issue is that it didn’t capture enough attention to get as much TLC from the mod community

didn’t fix shit for any of the re-re-re-re-releases of Skyrim
Skyrim Special Edition was built for x64 architecture (the original was on x32), is significantly more stable, and supports 4096+254 plugin files (vs 255 in the original). The modding scene has only gotten better frome the update. And let’s not forget the VR support.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. They didn’t change any of the gameplay because 1: the base game is still fun to play anr 2: people already mod the hell out of it to fit what they want

This. Bethesda cheaped out on environmental storytelling and fleshed out characters (which is unfortunate since that’s their thing). But the systems they’ve built up in Creation Engine have gotten really good

What gets me are the people that insist that humans can’t be exceptional and be the first civilization in the galaxy because we’re really dumb… which is it’s own exceptionalism.
If you really thing humans are ‘meh’, the solution to the Fermi Paradox that fits best is that we’re lucky and among the first civilizations. Especially when you consider that the universe hasn’t been hospitable to life until very recently

The aspartame cancer study is a complete joke. They fed those mice a x1000 higher concentration of sweetener than any human would ever eat

Btw, the average adult drinks less than recommended.
Their point is that the recommended amount in the US is bollocks

You’re a fool. If you’ve actually played their games over the years you’d see how capable their engine has gotten, but you clearly haven’t
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 5 days ago:
The problems with Starfield aren’t the engine. The problem is the lack of detail in the world and characters

Atmospheric scattering would make that effectively impossible, even if you could rotate the mirrors quickly enough. The light rays would be too unfocussed to properly heat up anything in orbit

I disagree. With how it’s worded it could easily be embarassing to be accused of, especially in a public setting like a classroom

Eh, depends on the context. If the dude is the classic, painfully obvious neckbeard I don’t feel too bad. If they’re mostly a regular Joe with low confidence, yeah the lady should have worded it better

that you don’t necessarily own the games you buy on Steam.
That’s the case for nearly every storefront. Besides, there’s a lot of games on Steam that actually are DRM-free, it’s just not advertised.
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 weeks ago:
Of course, Nintendo is almost certainly never going to bring their games to PC. I am a sucker for Zelda or Metroid, so I usually have a Nintendo console of some sort.
There’s always emulators

User at the top said they didn’t like the game, despite giving multiple tries.
Then you come in below them going “oh but ackshually it’s a masterpiece”
It’s the worn out story of the fanboys never being able to let other people dislike their favorite thing. If you can’t understand how that’s shitty, then it’s a you problem. Fuck off.
