Starfield's new PC patch delivers the game we should have had at launch
Alex Battaglia tests the new beta version of Starfield on PC, showing off improvements to HDR and CPU performance plus …
I'm glad they're getting performance in order... but the game play itself still needs a lot of work and fleshing out.
26Creation is kit is the only solution sadly, modders are just unofficial Bethesda employees right?
12Fuck that.

I just finished a 430 hour run in this game. It's not the masterpiece we were all hoping for, but it's not the failure I keep reading about, either. It's fine. Some folks just seem to enjoy being salty.
I'm done for now, but I'll be back after the CK and DLC drop. I had fun.
16Same. I’m the dude who made the No More Will to Play post. There are certainly problems, weak points and straight up bad designs, but you and I wouldn’t have hundreds of hours played if it weren’t at least a little good.
4I'll be honest - I feel however a game is, you will find someone who is happy to play it for literally hundreds of hours. I'm happy you enjoyed it (as I'm sure at least a few others did), but honestly think that on average people haven't. I may well be wrong! I'm mostly basing this off the reactions my friend groups have had to it, after a few weeks.
3Yeah.
You will find people that absolutely adore playing the most awful games imaginable.
That doesnt make the game good.
That just means that individual has weird tastes, and more power to them for enjoying it.

“The game we should have had at launch”
It’s just DLSS and quest and bug fixes.
Whoever wrote that shit should be ashamed of themselves.
15I am 100% convinced that all the news articles being about DLSS missing is controversial, or means the games incomplete, or whatever, are funded by nvidia.
Cause the level of ridiculousness I've seen cause the game didnt support DLSS is absolutely insane. Like, proper mental.
You don't see this kinda shit when a game doesnt have FSR.
Especially when Starfield is being made by what is now a Xbox studio, so they would make sure the game would work on XBox... Which is graphically driven by AMD hardware..that supports FSR and not DLSS. So its not some big ridiculous conspiracy theory that DLSS wasnt in the initial plan.

Hell yeah! I’m guessing that by the “game we should have had”. They mean that I finally get a companion that doesn’t cry like a 3 year old with a skinned knee every time I kill someone. No?
Oh, ummmmmm, then I’m guessing they meant that choices actually have consequences and you can’t join more than one faction at a time. No?
Shit, third times the charm right? Then I’m going to guess I can finally complete the heart of mars mission. No?
Damn it!!!!!
10The game we should have had at launch?
Sorry, but improving the performance of an ancient engine that shouldn't have been used for the last decade is not what I call "the game we should have" when there's so much more about the game that sucks other than the performance.
It's like Bethesda laser focused on us bitching about the bugs for 20 years, finally tried to iron them out, but then forgot to make the game world alive so it would be less buggy.
7The engine is about 12 years old, and the engine it's based on is about the same age as Unreal Engine, which the current version of is generally considered a powerful and capable modern engine. That complaint is tired and nonsensical with even the slightest bit of critical thinking.

I didn't notice a big improvement on my AMD GPU, seems to be largely targeted at Nvidia cards which makes sense since they were struggling so much.
