Too late.

[-] popcornmango@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

I feel like BG3 had more bugs for me than Starfield, but BG3 is the better game by far even considering that.

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Larian and owlcat for me. I have enjoyed pathfinder WoR and Divinity original sin 2/Baldurs gate 3 far far more than fallout 4 and Starfield.

it's like AAA games are only early access these days

[-] 9cpluss@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

In two years they can get the award for “best ongoing game” then, just like Cyberpunk :D

[-] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 10 months ago

God, what a dick sucking award. Cyberpunk may be playable now, but it did fuck all to deserve that.

Better games launched excellent and got better with age. Launching to get removed from online stores and taking years to reach playable is not the best ongoing anything.

Glad to see they're still improving it. When I get the Ultra Game of the Year Turbo Deluxe edition for $20 in years to come, I no doubt will enjoy it.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

I'm gonna wait for the Ultra Game of the Year Turbo Deluxe edition Complete

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Can't forget the Ultra Game of the Year Turbo Deluxe Complete Anniversary edition, now with built-in mods.

When a city map is a luxury.

[-] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 10 months ago

Insane that wasnt in the list of "must ship" features

[-] ACardboardRaven@lemmy.ml 30 points 10 months ago

oh boy, now i get to enjoy... basic features that should have been there at launch?

seems this is a recurring thing nowadays. i pray to god fable 4 doesn't suck the big one.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

Putting your faith in a fable game to live up to expectations is a terrible move.

[-] thesmokingman@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

Peter Molyneux is not involved with the project or studio so there’s actually a chance we might have both reasonable expectations and promises delivered. I had to google around to make sure; initially I was going to link some stuff about how trusting Molyneux is really dumb.

Nakey Jakey recently did a super indepth video on what is wrong with Starfield. And suffice it to say, I've removed the game from my wishlist. There's betterr games to spend my money on.

[-] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago

If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I'd point you in the direction of PatricianTV's Starfield analysis.

Yeah yeah, wake me up when AI modders recreate Daggerfall in the ES6 engine.

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think people would hate it again, seeing how they hated Starfield that is also procedural.

The main feature I want is better optimization. It’s really not good still and I’ve played with the settings more than I wanted to

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Last months patch did a lot for optimization, especially on the cpu and non amd gpu builds, seeing double digit gains.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 months ago

Until I can navigate in space like I can in FREELANCER...which BTW is from 2003....

I want nothing to do with it

[-] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 9 points 10 months ago

Friiiiick I miss freelancer so much. Best space sim to date.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

It's free to download mate! Plus there's a huge mod that turns it into an MMO that is still being worked on

[-] Vqhm@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's abandon ware now

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Still not buying that garbage.

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Honestly I let my Gamepass lapse and was considering re-upping it to play Starfield. And now I am for sure not going to re-up it for Starfield. Maybe I’ll visit it in a few years, but it sounds like not a great time from Nakey Jakey’s review on it.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

He provided so many examples of how it's worse than Skyrim 😅

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Just the fact that the ship combat is awful AND you don’t get to fly your ship TO other planets makes this a pass for me.

[-] Kaldo@kbin.social 15 points 10 months ago

I'd say "i will pick it up on a sale in a year or two" but they're just going to release the enhanced / special / anniversary / superspace edition down the line too, so why bother

[-] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Pro tip: finish game first, THEN release it!

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago

I haven't bought Starfield, was waiting for sub-$25. If there are no mods, I'm lowering that to sub-$10.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Seriously what a clusterfuck of a game this has been. I'm so happy I didn't bite and buy it yet.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

When will game companies learn that they could be doing so much better if they just released their games AFTER they're finished?

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Reminder that Todd wanted to release this last year, imagine the state it was in lol

I should probably pick this up when it’s on sale. I bought it on release after playing CyberPunk with ray tracing and asked for a refund after playing for 20 minutes because it just looked like garbage in comparison.

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Part of the reason why Bethesda games visually looks bad is because their tied to the hip with creation engine for modders to use. Part of the reason why bethesda games have soo many mods is because of how much of the games engine is open to modders to modify.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I agree. I was fine with it for Skyrim and Fallout 4 but after getting used to how gorgeous CP2077 was, the difference was jarring for a AAA title in 2023.

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The thing is, cyberpunk also has mod support, and it's pretty good, I use a climbing mod, a drone mancer class mod, and before the 2.1 update it already had a metro system via mod.

Starfield is a fucking joke.

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago

I mean, the only thing that's really needed is the standard access to the creation kit. After that, I think modders can polish it up to competency, although flying to planets might be outside the abilities of the engine. I think anyone still hoping Starfield is going to be a good space game need to stop dreaming and go back to Elite/No Mans Sky/Waiting for Star Citizen, but there were some really elaborate mods for New Vegas and Skyrim back in the day. Maybe someone dedicated and talented enough could even fix that.

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

The trick is that they want paid mods so they can do nothing and get a decade of profit. Consider that many of the mods on Nexus have millions of unique downloads.

Even if they charge 3 bucks a mod and get a third of it, that's tens of millions of dollars with zero effort on their part.

But the primary issue is that the current modding framework they're pushing onto Skyrim doesn't support framework mods, so none of the big mods Skyrim is known for, and have kept it alive so long, could happen.
