Why, it may even have 16 times the detail! I love that it just works too!

I do find it interesting to watch the hype cycle for this game kick off. It's gamer memory on display. The game may be good, but I sure as hell won't go near it at launch. When promoting FO 76 Todd used an interesting method of advertising called "lying". It would be good to see the community being very skeptical of this.

It's also hard to believe that it will have the kind of unrestricted modding that makes Bethesda titles into classics, they have been constantly trying to figure out how to push macro transactions. It's a tough sell to charge someone $20 for the colour blue on the armour if there's 6,000 mods that are more creative, and free.

I do hope I'm very wrong to doubt this game. I would love to mod the hell out of a vast space adventure. I just have no reason going in to trust anything Bethesda says.

Edit: corrected my autocorrect.

I'm in the same boat as you. I really want it to be good but I don't trust a thing Todd says anymore.

Already seeing the number of comments and posts about people pre-ordering. It seems gamers don't learn. Why do so many of us get hyped and suckered so easily?

I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2. Bethesda got a lot out of the original. I have no doubt that they've taken their time with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 just to make sure this engine is ready for them.

As hyped as I am for Starfield, I can't help but think that it's basically a massive scale beta test for Elder Scrolls 6, just to make sure all the kinks are worked out before they release the successor to Skyrim.

I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2.

Why? Genuinely curious. Gamebryo and Creation are nothing but messy clusterfucks with horrible performance and tons of really bizzarre bugs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Because Bethesda made some of the my most enjoyed games ever on the first engine, and presumably the successor will be better.

To be honest, the trailer looks like fallout 4 in space. Same stiff animations and the graphics are already below the current gen.

I seriously doubt it's going to be very different from the previous engine but I don't really care as long as the game gives a proper 'bethesda' experience.

I mean, I would definitely get Fallout 4 in space.

Frankly, I would buy more Fallout 4 expansion packs if Bethesda would make them.

My limiting factor isn't the engine, but rather than Bethesda decided to go off and do other things that were neither Fallout 4 nor Fallout 5.

It's been nearly decades, and NPC dialogue animation potentially looks as bad as it did in Oblivion. Stiff and takes me out of it.

Other games can do better, why can't Bethesda?

The level of graphics to me are acceptable given the scope, I just hope that it will perform well and the spec requirements aren't as grim as they seem.

Can we now enter a cave (tiny one) without a loading screen?

This game is probably going to be a buggy mess in the beginning, but I'm going to play anyway. It's on Game Pass and so am I, so why not?

My favorite thing about Todd Howard is his ability to lie to thousands of eager fans with a straight face.

Can’t wait to play Starfield: Ultra Special Deluxe BattleBox Edition on my Samsung Motorola GAMERXTREME VR Headset with turbosuck 2000 haptic feedback.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Turbosuck 2000 is already outdated. Turbosuck 3000 added a microtransaction store upgrade that sells fondle your balls with super-turbo suck DLC now.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time

Yeah this is one I'm waiting a bit on, don't trust big game releases. It looks great but we all know that doesn't always mean much lol.
