Starfield

You probably need Scanner Mod Level 3 with support for Cat Scan. Sorry. Best I can do.

It's all fun and games til he starts clawing at the crosshair. 😱

 

[SharkyUK]

Is anyone still playing this?

I've completed the first play-through and have several mission-related bugs that mean some missions cannot be completed (thankfully not affecting the main quest line).

I've just hit Level 255. It's a shame you lose all your equipment and credits on starting a new game - had about 3 million credits and some great weapons and ships.

I, er, accidentally shot my companion in the ass with my laser and decided to check out my handiwork...

She was not impressed.

 

[Jonnio]

Not really tbh, definitely not captured my attention like Elder Scrolls/Fallout.

Not sure I even hit lvl 30. 😳

^ likewise

I uninstalled it and reinstalled Skyrim 🤣

I stopped playing Starfield in December after my game got bugged and want to wait until they patch/fix it before picking it up again.

Tried Skyrim but didn't really take to it, so started playing Fallout 4 again, before getting Cyberpunk for Xmas, so that's what I am mostly playing now.

I do want to play it again though, I was really enjoying it...

 

[SharkyUK]

Just a heads-up... the recent Starfield update has fixed quite a few issues/bugs and the visuals have had an overhaul (especially the lighting). I swear it also loads a little quicker and feels a bit snappier to play.

It's a bit of a marmite game I think (the games-playing community seems somewhat divided on it) but it's definitely in a much better state and place now.

 

[Rich-D]

Mine has updated, but I've not picked it up again yet.

Now i have a PC i am tempted to give this a go, will a 3070ti and Ryzen 7 5800x run it ok?

Yeah will be fine!

Get PC game pass and try it through there. 👍

It would even run better on my old 3090... 🫣

I haven even got the pc yet mate...😂😂

That would probably go well with my 5800X3D....

 

[SharkyUK]

Yes. Yes, it would. A perfect match!

EDIT: And it would be perfect for 100% completing Warframe.

Guys, whats your opinions on playing this in 1440p or 4k, looking at my setup i can play 1440p @ at 60fps or 4k at about 40fps. would you sacrifice FPS for better graphics?

It only runs at 30fps @ 4K on my Series X and it's not a game that needs a high framerate IMO, so I'd go for visuals over FPS personally.

That was kind of my thinking, it's not a fast paced game.

You can always try both and see, but 40fps @ 4k would be spot on IMO, some of the planets are visually stunning, go enjoy a sunset.

i can see this game causing arguments already, said the the missus i am just going to play on Starfield for a couple of hours about half 5 last night, she came in to say good night at half 10.... , wouldn't mind i only did a couple of missions and spent 3 hours f**king about doing mostly nothing.

It's definitely a time vacuum, you get lost in it, I would spend hours just exploring a planet scanning stuff LOL

It also already pains me when i have to leave stuff behind, even a shitty gun, i am a proper hoarder....lol.

Fallout mentality, collect ALL the things

First skill to max out is the one that allows you to carry more, also use your follower to carry more stuff, maximise each run, sell, repeat.

After several play throughs... my advice... don't hoard. Unnecessary and achieves nothing! Pick up as much ammo as you want though, even if it doesn't fit your weapon load out. It doesn't add to you carry total.

Another thing with the ammo, I sell all of the ones that don’t fit my weapons, can make quite a bit of cash doing so.

Yea i am already leaving stuff behind which pisses me off no end, but i know i cant take everything, i should of learn't my lesson with Fallout 4, i probably ended up with about 500 guns and weapons stashed that i never sold before i finished the game.

 

[SharkyUK]

Seems like some decent updates should be coming along for this soon... fingers crossed!

If the fallout patch is anything to go by, I'm not so sure.

 

[SharkyUK]

The Starfield updates have been pretty good. The Fallout update... well... disappointing to say the least.

 

[Jonnio]

My brain: "Let's try Starfield, it's got that new vehicle and must be pretty polished now."
