MisterMcBolt, do games w Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it

I played Starfield on the Game Pass and was bored to tears after four hours. It made me want to explore space, but everything is so half-baked in Starfield that it drove me to reinstall and start playing more No Man’s Sky.

shiveyarbles, do gaming w Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World"

Bethesda game full of jank. Same as it ever was, Pikachu face.

Yeah, this is just a little silly.

We all know it isn’t and never intended to be No Man’s Sky.

This is like acting upset you can’t land on planets in Mass Effect 2.

spite, do gaming w Starfield topped 230,000 concurrent players on Steam, and it’s not officially out yet

I dislike the narrative that it’s “not officially out”. It is, for people who paid for it. It’s just that people who paid less need to wait.

I am also kinda upset that people can't post reviews on steam, it feels like cheating the system. The game is out, over 200 000 people are playing it, why can't we see its score? How is it different from any other big launch? Should all early access games not be reviewable until they are out, meaning some can't get a score for years and years?

I paid $0 and I’m playing it too 😉

tacosanonymous, do gaming w Remembering Blue Dragon, the spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger that everyone wanted and nobody played

I agree that this game doesn’t get as much love as Lost Odyssey. But that is rightfully so. LO is an amazing game.

ErinCrush, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays

Lol at that title. I just saw some post talking about how “Netflix games was my most used service”. Like, that can’t be true, either that or you don’t really play games lol.

Powerpoint,

It was a sponsored post on Android authority. That website really went down hill from a decade ago

redcalcium,

I do play Into the Breach a lot though, both on steam and Android (Netflix), so maybe I’m one of them.

I’m not playing Netflix games unless they bring back the good ol’ cable TV games from the late 90s to dick around with your remote on the TV for 10 minutes.

Just absolutely desperate to wring out more revenue lmao

sadie_sorceress, do games w Starfield gets low-spec PC mod for those gaming on potatoes

I’m playing with a Ryzen 5 and a 970 and it runs pretty smooth on low settings. I’m not a graphics whore though so I don’t mind the visuals on low.

Creat,

A Ryzen 5 is a pretty large span of processors, ranging from “old and mostly obsolete” to “modern and highly capable for gaming”. Which one exactly would be helpful for others to help judge their own.

sadie_sorceress,

Looks like this is what I bought almost exactly 3 years ago: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler

Game does not really look good even at high settings. Releasing something with such bad performance and nothing to even show for is just insulting.

Jakeroxs,

Not my experience at all, looks really nice, I did get rid of the overblown LUTs tho for a neutral one from nexusmods.

There are definitely some silly things like some of the random gen NPCs look… Disturbing sometimes.

Other then that though, very detailed environments, textures are very high quality and shadows/lighting is good

I’ll take another look at it today after I fiddle with the settings a bit. What I saw yesterday was not impressive - occasional stuttering while barely utilizing my 2060 on low/med settings while looking worse than Skyrim did in 2011.

Wooki, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

Bethesda showing how it will go bankrupt before it learns. Time to fire the ceo!

Kroxx,

They are owned by Microsoft, until that changes it doesn’t matter who is “in charge” at Bethesda they will be scummy.

Man, I’m glad it’s so easy to not give a single shit about this game.

Yeah, I have the special edition that will include all of the DLC (It was a promotional gift from AMD) and you would have to pay me to play any of it.

More of this game is not something I’m interested in!

corroded, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

This seems like a weird and convoluted way to charge for content. Why not just make it a paid DLC?

Sasha,

Well, they are doing both

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

Starfield is popular to hate on, anything Bethesda does with it will “draw player ire.”

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

Telorand, do gaming w Alan Wake 2 sales figures are letting Remedy feel confident about Control 2 - even if the game hasn't made any profit yet

I couldn’t get into the first one due to the gameplay and my strong dislike of Alan himself, but I loved the story and the universe they’ve created from it. It makes me excited that so many people are loving this, since that (hopefully) means we’ll see more games that link to each other!

I appreciate AW1 but the gameplay was pretty repetitive and feels dated today (imo). 2 is a lot more enjoyable

That’s actually really dope.
