Honestly the game falls apart at the end of the tutorial with how hamfisted and forced the "but thou must!" was to get you on the ship regardless of your opinion. That could have been written so much less forcefully. Its just an indicator of the lack of give-a-damn the entire game has.
also I just started playing it again, first time since launch, just to see how Shattered Space was..and what the fuck have they done with the game? It runs worse now than it did at launch! on the same hardware!
at launch i was able to play on a mix of medium with some select highs and have a stable, playable frame rate.
Now I have to play on mostly low with some medium to get the same rough FPS. and i'm using lower resolution textures.
and literally nothing else can happen on my PC while playing.
I so much as get a discord audio que for a message and the game immediately loses 30fps.
God forbid I have a video open on my second monitor. Which I was able to do at launch, but now? Tanks my frame rate into the single digits from 120 (to be fair, its a very unstable 120, and again, due to being mostly low/some medium settings).
Fallout 4 doesnt hit my system this hard on ultra settings with graphic enhancing mods. I get better performance in games with raytracing enabled than I do with starfield. and Dynamic resolution/scaling doesnt help. just makes the screen blurry. How can starfield look not significantly or substantially different from fallout 4 and require so much goddamn more horsepower to run?
and they have the audacity to defend this as their best game ever?
ugh.
... sorry, went on a bit of a rant.
