Straight up just a Switch attached to a head strap. Hilarious. Also, I’m positive people would pay legit money for a game that lets them put AC furniture in their house with AR.
I’m really excited for another boring ubisoft open world wasteland with next to nothing going on. Or gated off by a “gear score” grind-a-thon. Not to mention how excited my wallet is to buy all those juicy timesavers & monopoly money
Xenia Canary runs RDR really well if you haven't tried it yet. I was surprised I was able to get through the entire game without problems on my ~5yr old gaming laptop.
I could have sworn they removed it and replaced it with opt in but this is worse. minecraft.wiki/w/TelemetryIt says they removed it in snapshot 18w21a to comply with the GDPR but re-added it in snapshot 21w38a and since then.
I have tried to play NMS four separate times now. I just cannot get past a certain point where it feels like repitition towards some kind of story line that is always one stept away of “something interesting”. The mechanics of the gameloop are maybe a bit too obvious, which takes away form the immersion. I end up shelfing it because something else catches my goldfish like attention. Then a year later a major update comes out, and I think “maybe it’s good now”?
I can't tell if I don't like Starfield, or playing games anymore. I got it on September 1st, and played it for a few hours that night. I played it for a couple hours the night after that, and then I played it for like 30 minutes yesterday. I haven't really been hardcore about any game since before the pandemic. It's not the same now that my gaming machine lives at the desk that is also my home office. I've typically wanted to just get out of this room when work is done, so a game has to be really good to keep me sitting here.
Huh. I was just watching a review for No Man's Sky that made virtually the same point about that game, down to the 50 hours. The review said that the first couple hours were very boring, but once the intro and early game was out of the way, it got way more interesting. His pinned comment reads "I have now sunk in 50+ hours into this game. It keeps showing new stuff. Please help me. My family hasn't seen me in days. "
Maybe open-world game developers need to see if they can streamline the intros somehow. Even if the intro isn't a large percentage of the time you play the game, it does make the first impression.
I made a post like this sentiment elsewhere in this thread but I agree 100%. I was kinda forcing my way through some parts because I was just barely interested enough to continue. Then I had a few ohhh shit moments like taking over my first varuhn great serpent fanatic pirate ship and some of the UC Vanguard missions. I don’t know how they could improve/streamline it but they should work on it for sure.
Not that buying more stuff is ever the answer but... As someone who also spends way too much time at the same desk, getting a Steam Deck has totally revamped my love for gaming. Most of the time I'm not bringing it out with me (although I have traveled with it), but just being able to play PC games from bed, on the couch, or even outside in the back yard has been a ton of fun for me.
That’s how mine are these days. I just noticed that my prescription expires after a year (the paper one), so if I’m tempted to get an updated pair of frames, it’s going to mean an eye exam for me.
I can’t tell if I don’t like Starfield, or playing games anymore.
I don’t know your tastes, but it’s probably the latter if you only stick to the AAA realm of games. I sure as hell have burned on them - the indie and mid-budget space is where you’ll find games focused on simply being fun. Hi-Fi Rush, Pizza Tower, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to name a few that came out this year.
Oh I made that decision when they tried to replace the screws on my recalled rizer cable instead of replacing the whole unit on a $500 pc case. Get fucked nzxt
It’s still wild to me people are continuing to break records in classic Tetris. You’d think they’ve reached the peak long ago, but they somehow continue to impress!
Isn’t Thor an industry insider? Like, he works for a game developer? Wouldn’t that be a conflict of interest?
But regardless, “The terms say you don’t own the game” is not an argument against the problem. That is the problem. From a legal standpoint, games with those terms must be required to say in both terms and marketing that you aren’t buying the game, you are leasing the game.
Imagine a car rental company saying in their marketing: “Buy a car for as low as $70.” They’d be sued instantly, and lose. Why isn’t it the same with software?
They want to lease games to us, then force them to market it as leasing and make them take the fat financial L that would result.
He also works for the publisher offbrand games. Offbrand currently has exactly one game in its portfolio: The upcoming smash bros like “Rivals 2” - a game with a big multiplayer focus that might even be free to play.
While Fallout 76 was definitely worse, I feel like their hubris is still on full display in Starfield. So many issues that Bethesda seems fine ignoring because the community can fix it.
I wanted to love you, Starfield, but I was out by the third date. I’ll check back in a year or two and see if you’ve matured enough.
I really just can‘t tolerate how poorly it runs compared to how it looks. They‘d have to double the framerate somehow for me to buy it and that‘s pretty much impossible.
Any chance you’re on an Nvidia card perhaps? It was shipped with only AMD upscaling because for some stupid reason it’s an industry standard to ship with time limited exclusivity for some stuff like that.
I’ve found that the mod (and probably update in the future) to add Nvidia DLSS helps a lot.
Still dumb that behind door deals between executives/sales can hinder otherwise good games like this though.
Ah okay fair enough, I’m not super knowledgeable about the newer software sided stuff like DLSS and Upscaling. I didn’t realize the AMD upscaling worked on all systems.
I saw tests where the upscaling performed comparatively worse on Nvidia and Intel rather than AMD and assumed that the upscaling was actually exclusive, my apologies.
I mean it looks awful unless on FSR quality, so in a way it’s not a super great situation. Ideally it should come out with all the solutions to better leverage the hardware at hand, but exclusivity deals and lack of technical ability are a thing.
I am and I am using a DLSS mod and it‘s working. But getting to a stable 60 in Starfield is just… If it looked like Cyberpunk raytraced then I‘d get it, but it really does not look like it should be a heavy hitter. I smell technical failings.
