🔴 LIVE - Playing Starfield for the FIRST TIME

[@JackSather]

Hey gang, sorry this was basically a "settings test" of a stream 😅part 2 will be WAY more gameplay with the new card in! (should just be a couple days max) I WILL SAY, it's odd to rewatch the stream and see what you guys were seeing.. it is WAY smoother than what I was seeing / feeling? Seeing 1:30:30 i'm moaning about what seems to be playable FPS, but truly that was a slideshow on my end. anyway, I'm VERY excited to get back into the game with y'all. See you soon!

Brother I don't know what you got going on pc wise, but you would be better off playing on the series x, my son is playing on s/x and it looks like my pc ultra settings at 30 fps....I'm on RTX 4090 and the only noticeable difference is frames and some reflections. Ps. You missed the RARE PISTOL it bangs...you have to search around outside on the roofs and around the buildings before you talk to barrett, the pistol is the EXTERMINATOR EON.

[@DerelictProjects]

Not sure if this might be your case too, but I initially installed the game on an external harddrive, and it was running really poorly. Uninstalled and re-installed on my internal drive and it ran much better. Not sure if this might help, but best of luck figuring out the settings issues! Cheers

Just as I predicted this is mediocre at best and I look forward to not playing this game, so many other bangers have been released this year. Bethesda is still riding off their good image from the 90s and 2000s but if Redfall, Fallout 76 and many other titles have shown they don't have what it takes anymore.

10 of those problems are graphical, the loading screens are likely a limit of the game engine itself or are there to save on performance costs, space being fast travel is how most sci fi stuff works since space is really fucking big and it takes a long time to get anywhere, and underwater swimming barely offers anything even in the games you can do it so im not missing it.

[@aberger6666]

Man in character creation both of the body types look so bad. They look neither masculine nor feminine and if you make your character very thin it is getting cartoonish. Also the length of the legs to torso length seems out of ratio giving the body a child like appearance. I don't expect bethesda to change that but maybe modding community can fix this

[@kkrup5395]

not only legs to body, arms to body ratio is as bad. You can see the line on which torso ends is roughly on the level of tips of the fingers, when in reality if you stand up and put your hands down you see how much lower they are relatively to you pelvis. That's crazy that a problem so easy to notice and prove was missed by a team of professionals on a multimillion project

One thing I really really dislike about the game is that you can not fly to the planet without a cutscene showing that you are landing. I wish they did the same thing like in no man’s Sky where you can actually approach and land the aircraft yourself Pretty big negative for me because it hurts the immersion as with actuality landing flying towards the planet and actually landing it yourself you get a greater feeling of how massive the plants and the universe are . Plus it would be cool to fly over a planet at extremely low altitude And like Jacks says himself in this video there are too many cut/loading screens

Jack’s criticism of Baldur’s Gate 3 is exactly what I would expect someone who replayed the intro 6 times would say. The game has a slow beginning and the only thing that keeps it exciting is that you can find something new anywhere you go. I truly believe that reworking your character is so cheap because the devs understand that restarting the game every time you want to start a new class would be boring and awful whereas in a game like Skyrim, restarting can still be exciting. It is a valid criticism of BG3, but it dissolves with more playtime and is replaced by other criticisms in act 3.
