Starfield xbox series Gameplay leaked

I don't even want a kb+m in my theatre room. And what happens when the game crashes or need to make adjustments? I'm going to need a kb+m aren't I? It is no way cleaner and more user friendly than just using my console. PC gaming is a pain in the ass in general. My job is literally sitting at and using a computer all day. The last thing I want to do late at night while tired is to use the fucking computer and troubleshooting bullshit problems as to why the game has crashed etc. While trying to lay back and relax in my recliner. Just because you don't find it a hassle, doesn't mean other ppl don't. My theatre room is a relaxing place of Zen for me where I can sit or lay up on the recliner and not have to get out of my seat. I feel it is still a pain.

If it was so easy then majority of the world would all just plug there PCs into their lounge room TVs. The problem is, you and MidGenRefresh have no foresight into how someone else may perceive things. Dunning-Kruger effect comes to mind. Look it up, you may learn something.
Just bought a beast of a computer, ended up hooking it up in my living room to my LG Oled. I also have wireless everything and I have gaming lap boards, which I thought would be fine.... Been set up in the living room for months now and I have only played like 4 hours of squad. Just cbf getting the KBM out, booting up the pc. Opening what launcher the game I want to play is on and in general I found out that I would just rather play pc games at a desk. Especially the competitive shooters.

I think its just simplicity that you want. Same with me. I want to pick up the controller kick back and play. I am going to try and play starfield on this set up and see if that changes anything but I highly doubt.

I said goddamn
Holy mother of blooming, batman
 
Some of the leaked footage looks about as basic as can be, some looks great. I'm still getting it on PC.

My expectations are same as all Bethesda games, it will have bugs, it will have a shitty unstable framerate on consoles (series S), it will be "fixed" by the community via mods, there will be amusing videos of Creation Engine 'physics' and awful animations (Bethesda need to hire some mo-cap experts or something because they just don't know how to do conversations), I expect after a number of hours of gameplay there will be a memory leak as the crap engine tries to keep track of everyone's sandwich and where they are in the universe.

I'm not concerned with exploring the entire planet - you can do that in no man's sky and it is quite quite boring after a couple of planets. Elite Dangerous too allows you to drop down onto barren rocks anywhere and walk or drive around - it is immersive but frankly barren rocks aren't generally interesting.

The leaks look like there's enough there to satisfy my BGS game itch and that's enough for me - it doesn't have to be a once-in-a-lifetime game to be worth picking up

In short I expect Skyrim in space -> 8/10 game, which is fine.

Exactly. I think ppl can't understand/ visualise how much easier it actually is with a console on a living room TV. Also being told that console games crash as much as PC games and its somehow the same effort to troubleshoot is absolutely ridiculous.

But you still want to fuck her , right? I would!
Unlike you Deckard, I am not a thirsty basement dwelling degenerate who cares about "romance" options in games 😉

My plan is to vent her creepy looking oldface into a black hole if it's an option available to me…

Game is looking great though! I think I'm in for day 1.

99 percent of the time if a game crashes on console, which is rare I simply relaunch and its good as gold.

Pc is a fickle thing. It is obviously the best place to play if you want the top of the line experience but it comes with its drawbacks. Not everyone wants to put up with it.

I definitely used to bounce between pc and consoles based off what type of experience I was after at the time and ofcourse what time constraints I may have had. If I wanna chill and get engrossed in a world console, if I want casual pew pew console. Hardcore military sims, city builders and competitive focused games pc.

You're loss, she's wild in the 0G sack!

You're on crack. Cyberpunk 2077 on the PC with ray tracing overdrive is what this current gen should have been.
That's only part of what makes great graphics though. Although Cyberpunk looks better than Starfield on PC anyway. Character models and animation are not the best in Cyberpunk and that's why it ultimately falls short.

But...characters and first person dialogue animations in cuberpunk are still noticeably better than starfield...

I'm actually going back to it when the DLC drops, I want to like it but I just find myself getting bored.
I liked the game well enough to give a 7 (i use the complete scale of scores), too bad balancment and challenge were an alien thing for the devs.

Of course i'm gonna buy the dlc, i still have to try the rtx overdrive mode on my 4080 before turning it off after 15 min because it's not fucking worthy or i can't even notice it :lollipop_squinting:

what is that green demarcation line , it is a tile edge isnt it
It actually looks like a natural phenomenon.



EDIT : OK maybe some of you have a doubt, I am not saying Bethesda tried to show this phenomenon in the game, of course not. Just it made me think about it. :)

I was unbelievably, historical levels of bored by walking around even one planet in NMS.

Oh yeah, there were plants and critters around but it all just felt pointless and obviously randomly generated.

its probably water LOD , fallout 4 and skyrim had the same thing

easily fixed with mods
I think it's the tile system in play. The Starfield leaker shared about it in detail.

The world is divided into tiles, and each tile is generated procedurally. That's why the water, being two separate tiles, look different as they are procedurally generated and the engine didn't take into account the color of the water (the adjacent tile) and matched it properly.
 
So the first patch was released and patch notes are exactly what you'd expect:

- Fixed a rare issue that could cause Companions to float in the air.

Some combat:









Wow combat from someone not an imbecile with Vaseline smeared across their eyes.

Everyone complained about the AI but I like how they run away and hide behind obstacles. I just wish I knew what difficulty mode this was bc they don't seem very aggressive. I feel like there was definitely a challenge in combat in the fallouts and ES
