I just use the storage thing, and run speed increasing
So far I like it. It is like Fallout merged with Freelancer, except I think the space navigation isnāt done as good. Still, not too bad considering theyāre pulling this out of their Creation engine. Playing it with a controller also sucks and I think the experience would have been much better with keyboard and mouse, but I donāt have the energy to sit in front of a PC at the moment. And I really miss my maps / minimaps to try and figure out where the heck I am.
I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
At a stage where I really enjoyed the faction quest lines (except Ruyjin) and have completed them. Now I have 2 choices: 1. Randomly wander through the star systems and raid pirate bases/explore or 2. Continue and complete the main quest line.
Some activities irritate me, so not going to do them (anything with stealth etc). At level 40, I tend to look at systems level 50+ for a challenge.
Not quite sure what to do. I am worried that if I hit the main quest line then I will feel like I finished the game.
Donāt you tell me what to do!
Iām focusing on the main story now and couldnāt be happier. Some pretty interesting stuff is going on with the story and Iām here for it. I will most likely finish it and then move on to NG+ and mess around with side stuff there until Lies of P/Cyberpunk expansion comes out. Then I will return to Starfield every now and then.
I found this quite helpful and interesting, really goes quite in-depth for some of the smaller nuances you wouldnāt normally know or understand.
Thatās quite impressive.
Made it through, did most of the quests, hit 50 and in NG+ now. Taking a little break before I explore what NG+ has to offer ;-). Took me 78 hours. Good play time.
Iāve been putting a ton of hours in but havenāt gotten far yet. Mostly been doing exploration, looting and selling. Only now built my first base or two.
I will say this: The base and starship building is a bit of a letdown. I thought they pretty much perfected base building in Fallout 4 so this seems like a step backwards. With the starship, things just donāt want to fit together, especially when replacing the cockpit with one that takes more crew members. Thereās always a conflict with the landing bay.
Performance is horrendous when playing off a hard drive, but I see in the system requirements that a SSD is actually required. Iāve reluctantly moved the game now to my data SSD drive so will see if performance issues are now sorted.
Playing with a controller is also not ideal. KB+M would have been much better, but not an option for me at the moment.
Other than that, I think they did well thus far. Didnāt have any expectations for the game to begin with, but thus far Iām sinking hours into it while Iām unable to sleep. Considering the size of the game, I guess my issues with it are relatively minor when taken in that context.
I donāt think Iāve played much, compared with most of you. That said, this game hasnāt grabbed me. All I do is sit in menuās, wonder why Iām over encumbered, run across the fucking landscape forever. I will say, it has gotten better since I started, but for the most part, conversation menuās, are just not my vibe. I hate flying. I focus on one ship, and fly at that, head-on, trying my best to shoot them down, then I turn to face another and rinse repeat. And if thereās multiple ships, the other ships, Iām not targeting, are shooting my ass constantly. So, I guess youāre just trying to survive their shots, while attacking. Not dodge, but tank. I havenāt tried any building stuff, be it outpost or spaceship, but really, I donāt care about such things. It also took me a cool 30mins to figure out how to dock. I did take a very long time to like Skyrim, so thereās that. I havenāt had many bugs, mostly weird ragdoll physics shenanigans. And the game seems to run fine. I imagine itās somewhere over 100 fps outside of cities. I think Iāll go back to Star Wars, KC:D and Cyberpunk. They are far more interesting to me, right now.
One more thing, those lockpicking mini-games. Iād rather watch paint dry.
I agree with you on this. I try to skip these if I can.
I wonāt lie, if I can cheat with those I will
I am not ashamed of cheating in this game.
As much as I enjoyed exploring the first planet, I am now gatvol of getting lost in the cities. I have decided to only do the main story from now on
I feel entirely the same. Though I never got into Skyrim.
The flying, space exploration, and ship combat make me want to play Elite Dangerous. Which I did install again and am now playing more of.
The conversations and general boots-on-the-ground gameplay I find rather boring and uninspiring, along with the exploration for the most part. Within an hour or so of being in the game, I find my mind wandering and wanting to move on to other things. I keep wanting to play Ride 4.
I will continue playing the game, from a casual game perspective, it scratches that itch. And I keep hoping to be amazed by a stunning vista or some such site, another area I feel Elite delivers more upon. But as it stands, this is servicing more of that moment-to-moment gameplay and I donāt think Iāll get too invested. Thankfully I had little to no expectations or hype going into it.
I reinstalled Cyberpunk and have started a new game in that getting familiar with the controls and systems before the 2.0 update.
See my sentiments further up. Iāve played a bit more over the weekend and am yet to feel anything other than underwhelmed.
I am totally hooked, NG+ keeps calling me back, more of the same, just with all my skills. Loving it even more now that I donāt feel the need to do any quests at all. I hated some of those quests, spy/sneak/underworld ones, bleh.
