DarkThoughts, do gaming w Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now

Do we have any sort of information on how big the Shattered Space Story Expansion is supposedly going to be? Because 30 bucks extra seems excessive, especially when the game is already 70 bucks. Kinda feels like they just want to lure you with the early access, which will likely be a hot mess anyway.

nan,

On console the Premium edition includes it, and is 17GB larger.

DarkThoughts,

File size isn't a good indicator for content. The majority of a game's file size is made up of assets, so at best you have most of that to be new models and textures of "something".

nan,

Sorry, I mistook “how big” as literally the file size.

DarkThoughts,

Oh, sorry. No. I meant the actual content. Whether it is some short side story or a proper expansion of sorts.

Gets even more painful as an Australian - base game alone costs $120, but with the expansion? Fucking $170. Insanity.

DarkThoughts,

That's 100.29 based on current exchange rates. So about the same.

I heard that inventory management and transferring items between party members is a chore, which is a shame since it's something that PF games have already solved - shared inventory space for all party members. It makes it so much more convenient and fun to use than the mess DOS games had.

Tiefa,

I haven’t noticed it being an issue. When you loot an item you can send it to a specific character and if you want to move lots of things you can hit tab, see the whole party and drag and drop items from inventory to inventory. Maybe it gets worse later on, I’m only 20 hours in.

MimicJar,

I’ve been playing on “console” (SteamDeck) so I know the UI is different but the issue I’ve found is that there are three different “inventory” options and two different “loot” options, and each behaves a little differently.

For example if I loot a corpse, you’re right I can send to a specific party member. However if I loot a chest, that has to go to me.

Similarly when I the character sheet inventory view I can sort by certain methods and then L3(?) to exit that menu. If I’m selling something it’s still (L3?) to open that menu, but B to exit it. Also the sorting options aren’t the same. Also switching between characters during a trade event is one button. However switching on the character sheet is three buttons. There is also a third lesser used “put in device” menu with even fewer sorting options and you can’t switch characters.

The game is excellent and you can get used to these things but I do sometimes have to spend time just sorting things.

entropicshart,
  • you can hit tab to see all inventories and drag/drop
  • you can right click anything to send to camp or to any party member
  • you can have as many containers as you want for your gear

Inventory management is the easiest of any RPG and doesn’t rely on 3rd party tools to manage (e.g. Destiny’s abysmal design, or lack of I should say)

I remember when Titanfall being 50gb sparked an outrage, it’s a good thing SSDs are cheap now.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Oh yeah, let’s create 250GB SSD cartridges per game because thry each cost about 26€

You know how ridiculous that sounds, right?

giacomo,

Yes, everyone realizes how ridiculous that sounds. Why did you post it?

Also, please don’t give EA any ideas.

Sethayy,

I mean if you really wanna maximize your spending you can get 150 1gb flash drives and trick the OS to thinking its one device.

Or like just gets bigger drive that’s cheaper per GB like someone with a brain.

And like how would cartridge games work anyways? most PCs have really limited sata slots

SnepKayz,

If we move to a new era of physical games with NVME drives instead of CDs, I’d love it on a mostly unironic level.

Better than the current state for PC games where you buy a physical release and its an empty box with a Steam code taped to the inside.

Renacles,

Yes, that does sound ridiculous, good thing I didn’t say it.

Sina, do gaming w Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now

Have a low-medium texture download/install option. It’s time!

MJBrune,

It’s not that easy to do but you could probably invest some time and create a system for that. I wonder how much it’d actually be used though. This would only really effect a subset of PC players.

Sina,

I think you would be surprised. 1080p gaming is very much alive & 1080p gamers don’t need ultra high rez textures. I would certainly love to use this option. Sometimes people would even prioritize their data plan over graphics, because not everyone is so obsessed with graphics.

Especially if at download it was explained to users they won’t see a difference at 1080p, then even Steam & GoG could save some bandwidth. (plus it would be environmentally friendly)

blindsight,

I game on 1440p, but I only have an 8GB card. A medium textures download option would be amazing. It was nice that the D4 beta had high res textures as an optional extra download.

Sina,

8GB is still quite a bit though.

NuPNuA,

Data Plan? Who’s home internet has data limits on 2023?

yeah

Seriously

dingus, do gaming w Xbox 360 digital store will close next July
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

Good to know my copy of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on the Xbox 360 will still be available to me, I guess?

It’s wild to me to think that many of these are still in service. I went through several RRODs.

cavemeat,

If you can, rip the files and post them to the internet, so that access to that game isn’t lost when the store is shut down.

@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I never, ever preorder. But, the Ryzen 5 CPU I just bought came with a code for Starfield. So I guess I may as well try this one out cold.

Sibbo,

Maybe wait a month or so until the bugs are fixed. It would be sad to be frustrated by that.

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’ll be playing on Linux also, so I kind of want the challenge (and the bugs) :)

Madex,

They making a native client?!

apprehensively_human,

I imagine it will be playable with Proton/Wine. It doesn’t look like there’s a native port for Linux.

circuitfarmer, (edited )
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No, I’ll be using Proton. There’s a chance it won’t work day 1, but I find it unlikely given my experience lately.

Especially with shader caching, it’s even possible that it runs better on Proton while bugs get worked out (that was the case with stutter in Elden Ring, which didn’t occur on Linux or Steam Deck with shader precompilation).

also mods playing bethesda games without mods just feels wrong I’ll probably wait a year for a good sale and a nice build up of mods

calnamu,

To me, playing a Bethesda game for the first time feels wrong with mods. I definitely want to experience the “original” at least one time before changing anything.

buda,

Bugs are a part of the fun in Bethesda games.

AnanasMarko, do games w GTA 5 AI mod taken down by Take-Two lawyers

Uh, is there a kind soul that has a link to a mirror of any of the mentioned youtube videos that were taken down? I’d realy like to see what it looked like - talking to random NPCs on the streets ov GTA V.

    Hubi, do games w GTA 5 AI mod taken down by Take-Two lawyers

    I really wonder what the reasoning behind the takedown is. Maybe they are planning a similar feature for the next installment?

    RandallFlagg,

    No, they just don’t want modders to make their game more fun because it means less $$$ from GTA:O

    Hubi,

    There are plenty of mods for GTA though. Seems kinda weird to single this one out.

    Ginjutsu,

    This is what I’m thinking. It’s rather odd that they’d go after this mod specifically.

    Companies are terrified of AI making their work obsolete. To such a degree they are trying to do it first. Thankfully AI is so painfully bad that the companies that have tried this are failing hard.

    DmMacniel, do gaming w Xbox 360 digital store will close next July

    wow, 18 years of service. That’s quite impressive.

    Time to download everything for perservation reasons.

    theangriestbird,

    18 years and Microsoft kicks them out of the house. The worst kind of parents.

    nostalgicgamerz, do games w GTA 5 AI mod taken down by Take-Two lawyers

    Someone needs to mirror that shit

    kratoz29, do games w GTA 5 AI mod taken down by Take-Two lawyers

    Oh well, I somehow knew this wasn’t gonna survive for too long.

    Let’s all better move on from GTA V already.

    Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Xbox 360 digital store will close next July

    Being able to still download old purchases is my biggest thing. I’m glad they aren’t removing that

    SilverCode,

    This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.

    There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won’t work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store

    BotCheese,

    in my experience the “physical” copy of a game now, only gives access to installing a game. But I dont really use consoles so maybe I am misunderstanding how it works.

    Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Xbox 360 digital store will close next July

    Honestly, I'm surprised the 360 store was still up and running. At least purchases can still be downloaded and backward compatibility means most of these games will still be accessible.
