By Laboured Go To PostThere is on PC.
Maybe the most disappointing thing I’ve learned about this game. Such a waste.
Genghis immediately turned to piracy. Can’t say I’m shocked. Worth it for freeing Amelia Earhart though.

Wrapped up my first playthrough anyway. Went through all the temples, then blasted off to the endgame.
Gotta say, I really liked the ending.
The scene of it, standing in endless space before the Unity. Having a conversation with yourself and seeing the outcomes of the big choices made throughout the side quests.
Though it all seemed a bit ominous since I made my character look like Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborne. My dude has some major super villain vibes standing in front of a blackhole.
Went straight into NG+. The new armour is 5* for aesthetics. 4* for the ship. Star Eagle was a much better ship after I’d upgraded it though.

Temples really are the absolute worst part of the game though, I must say. I dunno how many I went through in total to collect all the powers. Repeating the same zero gravity puzzle, if it can even be called a puzzle. Is fucking stupid.
It just isn’t fun, and it feels like something that needs to be done prior to NG+ despite not being a requirement.
—-
Overall, I think it’s a great game. I’ll keep playing it too because there’s a lot of quests i missed, and I wanna see the changes in NG+. It’s the side quests that have stolen the show in this for me though. There’s plenty of fetch quest filler, but outside of those, quests like ECS Constant and Operation Starseed more than made up for it.

By HonestVapes Go To PostI may have set Genghis Khan free on the universe.Where can I find that side quest? I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel right now before I wrap up the main quest.
Trying to make up my mind at the end of this UC Terrormorph quest. Lie or tell the truth that it was Vae Victis

By Pedja Go To PostAnimations are so shit it's impressive
mashallah it's like playing a remaster of a game from 2001
By Pedja Go To PostAnimations are so shit it's impressiveu see it
By Hentai Samurai Go To Postthought they added brightness and contrast settings in the latest patch, what happened? pc-only?no
but I can confirm
By inky Go To Postnobig sleep on small todd
but I can confirmbigsmall todd blessed us with a fov slider
on the plus side, starfield coincided with the release of phantom liberty so todd isn't all bad and gave me a new appreciation for cyberfuckery
By Adam Go To PostDogfighting is basura in thisYep
By Laboured Go To PostPretty cool. Imperfect but with the CK lots of interesting things possible.It has to exist the atmosphere first to be able to land?
Seems like a problem with the Creator engine limits.
Or the fact they don't allow vehicles it's not allowed to traverse by land, thus existing/enterting at a different point.
That's pretty cute.

DLSS/HDR update now up on Steam (includes some other fixes). Need to opt into the beta branch on settings.
Gave up on this unfortunately. Fifty hours in. Just did not scratch that itch. No vehicle traversal killed it.
I liked it, but I’m done with it until some interesting mods come out and all the dlc is out for it.
I got to 60 hours and then dropped it. My biggest criticism - and it's one that can't be fixed by mods - is that the writing and characters are horribly dull and moreso than in any Bethesda game I've played. By hour 60 I did not want to talk to a single NPC.
Starfield launched in an 'OK but baffling' state on PC, with no support for DLSS, frame generation and highly questionable performance on Nvidia graphics hardware. A new patch is currently in beta and it's fair to say that it's transformative. The new HDR features disappoint, but with official DLSS and frame-gen support and genuinely impressive boosts to CPU and GPU performance, this patch moves Starfield one step closer to delivering everything it should on PC.
From upcoming DF video that’s in Patreon Early Access
To think DLSS was memed on when it first launched, and now it’s an expected standard to implement for all new games.
1.0 was pretty rough, but let it be known, Vapes believed from the beginning.

Not a fan of this slide into upscaling over native 🫥
Depends on the internal res. At 4K output, I think Quality DLSS can look more detailed and more stable than native. Suppose DLAA is p nice tho.
By Patriotism Go To PostNot a fan of this slide into upscaling over native 🫥TAA is upscaling and DLSS and FSR are better versions of it. A lot of modern games don’t really have a concept of a “native” resolution, anyway. Its why if you turn off all forms of TAA in them but run the game at native resolution, it will look super fucking noisy.
I believe TAA basically became a necessity for anti-aliasing when most games switched to a deferred rendering pipeline. MSAA doesn’t play well with deferred rendering.
Hottest take: I think TAA is better than MSAA anyway. Significantly less performance penalty, and much more consistent at reducing aliasing. An overall less sharp image, but generally also a cleaner image.

Not even controversial that TAA is better than MSAA :lol
If you want coverage of geometric edge aliasing and literally fuck all else then fine go wild with your extremely expensive MSAA by all means. AMD did do a forward+ hybrid that made MSAA cheaper on modern engines but really who gives a fuck.

I dunno, there’s a whole bunch of people that fucking hate TAA. Like it’s on the same level as chromatic aberration and motion blur to them.

These people are called "people that like aliasing".
Been playing it again recently and it looks and runs so much better with DLSS than it did with FSR2.
Starfield’s beginning is pure comedy. One second you’re mining the other you’re captain of a ship for a group you never heard off just because you inhaled a magical rock.
Oblivion had you start as a prisoner and locked up then going on a special quest by the emperor’s request to save the world.
Just Bethesda things honestly

I mean most fantasy/space operas media start like that.
Some are a bit more logically put together but they get you leveling up in the world on the good foot lol
Morrowind needs a remake.
