I tend to get motion sickness from most FPS games these days. Turning off motion blur seems to really help me on that front.
I’m just starting on Starfield. I love Mass Effect 2 and the first city New Atalntis in SF gives me the warm fuzzies as it reminds me of Citadel.
I’ve just started playing this. It’s immersive and familiar from previous sci fi.
I really like that the main story quest (at the beginning, don’t know anything about later!) is all about exploration and discovery - it makes it feel less odd to go and do the random side quests. One thing I could never get my head round in the mass effect series was the main quest of saving the galaxy was backed up by a load of extra activities where you spent ages on the space equivalent of rescuing cats from trees and finding lost luggage.
lol…there’s definitely a bit of this in Starfield just as there was in Fallout. I guess it’s in the DNA of this style of game.
I’ve managed to steal a ship that makes the starting ship look luxurious so I need to swing past a planet and swap it out some time. My ‘200’ storage currently has ‘450’ worth of trash in it.
I don’t like how unambitious all the locations are. It’s nowhere close to Mass Effect grandeur. At first I thought it must be lazy work, but it’s probably just typical Bethesda. As someone already pointed out it’s Fallout in space.
Fallout 3 or Fallout 4?
Sounds good. But either way, Morrowind in space sounds better
Upgrading ship storage was basically my top priority, and my first set of real upgrades. My first upgrades expanded it till like 800. Now I’m sitting on like 1400 cargo capacity which feels like enough for normal adventuring as long as I make trips back to the lodge to drop stuff off in the safe every once in a while. I managed to steal a ship with like 2,000 cargo capacity but the interior was so awful to navigate I sold it.
I think it’s worse. It’s a high budget space mod for fallout 3.
I had quite low expectations for this game but wasn’t expecting this bad. Idk how many times I’ve turned the console off in the middle of the conversations out of boredom. I really hate the fact that every npc needs to answer questions with a paragraph.
I’ll say it’s been a good time with this game in terms of a slow burn hangout kind of deal. For reference, im good for like 3-5 hours a week gaming these days based on a shared main tv and my need to go to bed earlier than I used to… Starfield was pretty sterile the first 10 hours or so but it’s been fun getting the Bethesda goofiness (mantis was great) starting to come in.
I would like the game if the character wouldn’t almost die of suffocation because I ran for three meters. Would anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? The whole helmet on/off thing makes me mad 
i don’t believe that kills you.
It doesn’t but it’s annoying as hell to the point where I don’t wanna play the game anymore. I‘m not blaming the game, apparently I’m doing something wrong.
Are you overencumbered? Carrying too much crap?
After trying hard to find the fun and ignoring the warning signs I eventually gave up on Starfield a couple of weeks in, I dont think I have ever disliked as many aspects of a game before. Repetitive, characterless, badly written poop imo, and not something I can see being salvageable with mods.
I’ve played a decent chunk of time, most of the way through the main story (I think). Stopped playing about 2 weeks ago and am waiting for them to drop that first large patch to improve the game a bit before I pick it up again.
Played through a chunk of the main story and put in like 20 hours. This game is addicting and ‘fun’ to play, but I really don’t think they improved enough on the weaknesses of Skyrim and Fallout. In fact the interactions and writing feels a lot worse than those games at times.
One main gripe I had is that 2 to 3 loading screens are necessary when moving between galaxies and going to a new planet, which happens quite often. Planets feel mostly empty and generic besides a select few which clearly got a detailed environment. I feel like Bethesda really wanted to make a great game, but instead made a 100+ hour good game
I’m loving the game but the bugged missions are so annoying! Currently Groundpounder and the main Ryujin quest, the very last mission of it (which is like an 8 hour quest line), are bugged for me. No way to fix them via command as I’m playing on XBox.
It’s great to get a point in a quest where it’s bugged out, give up, try to clean up other open quests and finding the reason so many aren’t completed is because they bugged out and I moved on lol
What’s the best way to play Starfield?
Xbox
Steamdeck
Xbox cloud gaming on macbook pro (32gb memory)?
I don’t have the first two, would lean towards steamdeck for portability and to leave my macbook alone.
How many games have you played exactly?
I feel sorry for game devs, gamers’ vitriol and criticism is always a bottomless pit of entitlement meshed with a weird arrogance…
I’m glad that between these 2k+ games on Steam you have found one of the worst in Starfield, seems like you had a pretty enjoyable experience with gaming so far.
I’ve been gaming since the 1990s, I’ve been through a lot of worse games than this
I bought a Steamdeck to play it. I had to install the beta OS in order for it to run. Waiting for some updates to come to hopefully make it more compatible with the Steamdeck.
