Ice9 said: Yeah, I got 1 month of free game pass ultimate, and this was what I initially DLed. I like bethesda, but really since Oblivion its been downhill. I will try and smash through but the no DLSS is bs. I get about 65 fps average with 4070ti /13900k so that tracks. BG3 is up next for me.
Yeah I'm not sure who's bright idea it was to release with no DLSS or other fancy nvidia features. Pretty dumb because the game itself can be gorgeous. I'm still happy with the purchase because of how bethesda does their shit with the modding community and what not. It really is a pretty bug free game in general, compared to a lot of AAA RPG releases and their own shit. They just made a lot of questionable decisions on simplifications on things that annoy me.
But the bones are so good that I think this will be one of those engines that will end up having 10 years of content rolling out on. Full conversion shit like how enderal is to skyrim, a totally different game in the same engine, and amazing af.
I think console support was also a major limiting factor for them. Whenever they release for console they have to basically dumb down a game to make sure it will run stable on it and not cater to high end PC rigs.
All that said I'm still playing it. I load it up and just wander around, doing bethesda shit and am enjoying it. It just doesn't "grab" me as much as skyrim or fallout did though.
If you dig games with proper real RPG writing than BG3 is for you. The writing and acting is fucking phenomonal.

I had such high hopes for Starfield. I hate to say it, but for me it did not live up. At all.
I dislike the hugely empty worlds. That the gameworld is a collection of different instances connected through constant loading screens instead of the same, seamless world. That space travel is basically negligible.
Especially that last one has me salty. I really love, love, love a good space (combat) sim and all my hours on Elite: Dangerous are burning me out..

I dont mind the loading screens too much really. They appeared to try to be a lot more realistic with the size of space than other games usually are. You *CAN* actually fly from one planet to another, but you cannot fly down into its atmosphere. It takes hours and hours to fly from earth to the moon. Some streamer did it.
I agree on the emptiness. I'm hoping they add in a fuckload more POI's to the pool and maybe change how they generate later on. I'd definitely rather have more handcrafted stuff close together on a single planet in a system than random windmills and the same cryo facilitiy on every one.
I think modders will have a field day with it though. There will basically be endless room to add content too with almost zero risk of over writing another spot or content. Hopefully over the years they really build on it.

They need to redo resources, or get rid of the into where you literally mine them, making them seem somewhat important. Especially with the spread out crafting benches, you end up having your bag be 2/3rds ore, 2 guns, and then like 30 kg left for loot.

Bruh, they definitely need to do more with crafting and resources.
I have 3000lbs of pretty much only resources on my ship, and it's not even gobs of any one thing. There is just SO MANY FUCKING TYPES and you end up finding out that a bunch of them are only used once in a single receipe for one piece of equipment. lmao.
They also sell for garbo at the vendors and for the big trucking missions.
Bethesda does know though.
Check this out.

Holy shit I LOL'd
This really does sum it up though.
I'm about 50 hours in and already burnt the fuck out.. keep slogging away hoping it gets better, but it hasn't really... it has its moments I guess, but they're so far and few between it just never feels satisfying.
So glad I didn't buy it.
Maybe mods will put some life into this dumpster fire, but I'm on console so who knows how long that'll take.
I'm still playing Skyrim to this day, been playing since day one and I'm still not sick of it, and I only use a few QOL mods.

Is that video legit?
I hope they continue working on it. Good bones, needs fixes.
Honestly, I'd prefer FO4's crafting system, where everything could be broken down. They should do that. Or get rid of junk loot. I know it's kind of a core part of ES games, but like, they nerfed it to uselessness. You can pick up everything for the first 20-30m in morrowind for quick early cash to buy a decent enchanted weapon or armor. You can do something similar in oblivion for a decent weapon. Skyrim, you could get a weapon. Here? Nothing. So why even bother letting people pick it up? Feels like poor game design. Junk for the sake of junk, wasting CPU cycles to be rendered in the physics engine, when they could just be drawn in.
I haven't hit 50 hours yet, but I gotta admit, 50 hours of solid gameplay is alright for a AAA game. I guess I'm still chasing the original Morrowind dragon, and the thousands of hours I spent there.

The video is a mashup/cut with AI. Todd is not saying those things, but bethesda is definitely away of all this feedback fans have been giving which is where the video comes from.

I was playing starfield. Went and burned myself out... Too much side stuff, base construction, resource gathering, perk challenges, etc.. when I was mostly just following the story I was really enjoying it. When I go back to playing it, I'm gonna try to stick more to the story.
Right now though I'm going through BG3. I don't want to just Google everything, I want to discover shit on my own but I have 2 rogues, a cleric and a mage (gale). I feel like I'm really missing out on some of the strategy aspects in battle. I feel like I need a real tank and I know it has to exist. I'm mostly using Shadowheart for that purpose right now, but I'm starting to get into higher areas and that's not working so great now.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

My favorite Zelda is twilight princess I love the darkness of it. I beat Silent Hill 2 they are remaking it. It’s a pretty sad game I think Silent Hill is my favorite horror video games. It sure is a sad game your searching for your dead wife in a purgatory world it’s about the afterlife. You meet some people that are also dead but it’s pretty sad. On to Silent Hill 3 next it’s a fantastic game I really like the first one for PSone. I really like dark depressing games.

Sekiro. Also have Elden Ring but I prefer Sekiro for some reason. The combat/action just feels more bad ass. Also -with limited time- I prefer knowing what I am doing/where I am going with the more linear progression in Sekiro. Easier game to just pick up and play for half an hour!
