Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

First Bethesda game?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 44 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Why would someone buy Starfield?

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I pirated it and wish I could get my seed time back.

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The wear on my mouse from clicking on the torrent already wasn't worth it.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I fucking bought it, imagine my despair

I've had a lot of fun with it on Xbox since launch

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because influencers tell them to? It’s not like Xbox players haven’t been taking about the bugs and other issues for the last few years.

But really though. The gun play is fun ads hell, just like any Bethesda game. And, it’s true, you can build a ship, take off, walk around in it… there’s a certain appeal to that. The guts are there to make a decent game. They just don’t love it quite as much as the least of the four fans who still play it.

Bethesda games notoriously have shitty gun play.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

True, but developers from id Software helped Bethesda specifically for Starfield's gunplay, which is actually fun this time around compared to Fallout 4.

[–] Doom@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

What year is it? Didn't we already do this?

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Not even a proper release on PS5. Glitchy as hell and not complete on disk for physical. Embarrassing.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have about 140 hours in the game on PC, since launch. I haven't played it since. I was just poking around the mods at Nexus, I see the Genesis thing. That might be worth playing it again.

Mods keep Bethesda games going, I have over 6700 hours in FO4. That's only because of the mods.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Sadly mods won't fix the fact you have to play a loading screen.

The fact that Bethesda thought they could get away with their ancient engine once again is laughable.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago

lol I sent this article to my brother and he sent me like 20 texts defending the game.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

LOL imagine creating a game that runs like total ass on a powerful PC and then releasing it on Playstation...

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That's a Thebesda game, right?

[–] verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 points 3 days ago

Imagine spending money on Starfield instead of NMS, eeeesh...

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

It’s not even fully on the disk. Trash release.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world -4 points 3 days ago

Hahahahahhaahaha....

Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.

Foos Raa GLITCHED!
