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 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 6 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

[–] ACardboardRaven@lemmy.ml 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] thesmokingman@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Instead it's a title made by a studio that's about 3 levels removed from the original creators.

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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 11 months ago (7 children)

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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

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 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 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 11 months ago

It's abandon ware now

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Still not buying that garbage.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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.

Pro tip: finish game first, THEN release it!

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago

It's nice Bethesda wants to pull a Cyberpunk, but Starfield at it's core just isn't as good. I'm all for some redeeming updates though, because at least there would be something to come back to

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago

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

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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 5 points 11 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 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

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 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

"all new ways of traveling"

Will they add a metro?

Starfield is a fucking joke.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 4 points 11 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.
