▲ 108 ▼ Starfield, is it getting review bombed? (youtu.be) submitted 2 years ago* by c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world to c/games@lemmy.world 191 comments fedilink hide all child comments Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.
[–] 520@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) I dunno dude, I've heard a lot of people have legit complaints about the game, especially on PC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) For PC, game optimization is very inconsitent. When I'm in a smaller space like a dungeon or the Constellation Lodge, it's actually pretty great and runs smoothly. When I go into the city though, the framerate is terrible. The graphics also become significantly worse. So yeah, wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those negative reviews are from PC players having to deal with Bethesda jank again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children) People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.fmhy.net 6 points 2 years ago Uh no. People are barely doing 30 fps in the lowest settings with this game permalink fedilink source parent [–] Saganastic@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago* (2 children) It's reasonable to expect high framerates in 2023. If people want the game to run smooth there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, doom eternal was a Bethesda game and it looked gorgeous and ran like butter, so we know they can pull it off. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Cypher@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Saganastic@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago* Fair point. But still, if the doom eternal engine puts theirs to shame so easily, maybe they should have done some more work on their engine. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) A lot of people also seem to not know that you can't just spend 80% of your budget on a graphics card and buy whatever CPU you can afford with whatever is left. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Saganastic@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have a 3080 and the game runs noticeably worse in the cities than it does in small rooms. And that's with everything at low-medium and 75% rendering resolution which seems ridiculous. And the game doesn't even look that good. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I've heard the game is bottlenecked by the CPU.
