Play Sea Of Stars instead!
Play Sea Of Stars instead!Speaking of which, did anyone play Chained Echoes? I bought it haven't booted it up yet.
Got this downloaded. Gonna give it a whirl on my laptop and see how it runs on there.
Bore’s, help me remain composed, as the ordeal of PC gaming comes wafting back in.
Got Staruhfieldz installed and loaded. I set graphics to High. It shows it defaulted to use FSR2 (?) . Is that something that’s similar to DLSS? I’m getting too old and grumpy and impatient to learn shit.
:whatisthis
The other thing that immediately triggers my frustrations is trying to deal with fucking audio. I want to play this on my tv naturally. I can hook up my laptop to it ok by placing it on a chair. But I want to use either my DS4 or DualSense. This is always an issue because I have to use headphones to play. Why can’t it just work like it does on consoles? Internet never gives a straight answer and trouble shooting just wastes so much of my damn time. I download and install DS4Windows, but then it prompts me to download some driver to run DS4Windows.. The controller works, but no audio coming through the headphone jack even when wired via USB (even though people on the internet say it does). Spent another 20 minutes trouble shooting audio settings.. trying to figure out if it’s a DS4 Windows setting, Starfield setting, laptop setting, device setting (possibly a Steam setting too, but not playing on Steam). Jesus I hate this shit. A controller is everything in gaming.. Why must it be so cumbersome to get one to work on a PC the way it’s meant to be used? And no, I’m not going to buy a POS XB controller. Yuck.
Needless to say, I couldn’t try it yet because I spent over 30 minutes of my precious gaming time just getting it to work … which still hasn’t been solved. It was already close to 5am, so I needed to go to sleep. Not sure if I need to look into downloading nexus or vortex just to have performance settings. Just another damn thing to download and install, configure, etc. My old man-ness overrides my techy nerdyness, by far. Why can’t I just plug and play.
:rage
Gonna give it another try tonight.
Bore’s, help me remain composed, as the ordeal of PC gaming comes wafting back in.That's why I opted for the Xbox version, I just can't get PC -> TV work flawlessly. There is always something going on, either with the audio, dual monitor set-up or what have you.

Although I have to say the bootleg Nvidia shield streaming comes close.
I'll get this when goty edition drops. Not trusting game reviews
What is your headphone issue? Not following you here. Why can't you just plug in headphones to the laptop directly?I can, but setting up the laptop to sit a certain distance from the tv via HDMI, while sitting near it enough to have headphones plugged in is a just a clunky set up to get into. Same problem with playing Switch on my TV. I do have a headphone cord extender now because of the Switch, so I can just use that I suppose... Having audio just come through your controller is so damn convenient. Maybe some day I'll get BT earbuds/headphones, but just not there yet. TBH, it's easier setting up the PSVR1 to play than the laptop. :lol
And yes, you should get an Xbox controller. Doesn't have to MS- get an 8Bitdo one. Go X-Input and it will just work. Let that Playstation shit go, my friend- it is time. :P

And yeah, the PS controllers are still the best. :hans1
This honestly looks good and the reaction seems to be less because it's bad but because of wrong expectations :yeshrug

Yeah. It's another overhyped "AAA" game that didn't live up to whatever expectations some people had. It's a Bethesda game- you know what to expect.
I have to wonder if Baldur's Gate 3 had something to do with people being less than impressed.

OH SHIT ONIONS :o
I don't even know what you're talking about, but a quick google turned this up:
Fallout 4 (2015)

Starfield (2023)

Number one mistake: Buying Starfield lolamirite
:whatsthedeal
:rimshot
Have you played it bork? I wouldnt wait at all. The game isnt that buggy, i've encountered 1 bug and 0 crashes so far. Some npc pathing issues too.
https://youtu.be/b-wAl7KNGIg?si=_MqPG2ouFNwSao7D
I definitely think Starfield is a victim. If this year having so many banger releases. Might be best year for games since 2008.
Its absolutely a 'victim' of console warring at least. Not to mention the angry 'woke' warriors angry about pronouns being an option.

That wouldn't have any effect review scores. Again- who cares? Why waste your time on that garbage? Just play it and enjoy.
Im not talking about the review scores lol I'm talking about the 'outrage' going on about it on Twitter and YT comments and all the 'outrage' videos that get made about it.
I honestly don't care what some guy from IGN had to say about it, all I can say is that I feel a 7 is unfair in this day and age.
Wish I had a bit more time to share my thoughts, but this game is great... If it were a bit more playable. What I mean is that I spent almost 30% of my time trying to tune the whack control settings. Holy shit, the left stick movement was hyper sensitive, where just barely touching it/resting my thumb on it caused movement. Zero dead zone. Why is there no specific setting for this? If there is, it's called something else. Was using DS4windows with the dual sense via bt. Ran the headphones with extension from the laptop.
It ran ok on the laptop, but every time I load it, it says my graphics card is outdated. ??? Now I got to research what that means specifically. My drivers? I dunno.
Honestly, it hasn't help my "love" for PC gaming get any stronger.
Always something to hinder just picking up and playing a game and be happy.
In all the advertisement for this game I've never seen it once advertise itself as the ultimate space sim. I'm so shocked at the expectations. Bethesda game in space is all I've ever expected lmao. I might play this around December or January. Screams winter game for me.

Piper in Fallout 4 (pretty 'big' npc for a town)

Definitely will finagle some more tonight. Going to try the DS4 instead of the dualsense this time. I updated what I could on there, including DS4windows, so hopefully something will smooth out..Wish I had a bit more time to share my thoughts, but this game is great...

I dunno but I'd get a nice X-Input pad and stop worrying about it. Or do they make adapters? . There might be something that you can plug in to pair with the dual shock that will just work like x input would. 8Bitdo makes that stuff too.
Edit- Yup, get the 8Bitdo USB adapter 2 off Amazon for $20 and your problems should stop. I dunno about the headphones though.QuoteIt ran ok on the laptop, but every time I load it, it says my graphics card is outdated. ??? Now I got to research what that means specifically. My drivers? I dunno.
Have you updated the drivers and stuff on your PC since you got it? Needs to be kept up to date. You need to check Windows updates, My Asus, and Armory Crate for updates.QuoteHonestly, it hasn't help my "love" for PC gaming get any stronger.

Well, to be fair, you may not have your stuff up to date and you're also playing a pirated version which may or may not be updated or may have something in it to make it play worse on purpose.
But, for some stupid reason, the dpad fucking skips in menu navigation. WtffffMy copy fell out the back of a truck, so not sure I have access to steam settings. I'm a complete noob, if that doesn't matter and the controller settings has nothing to do with what game is running, I have no clue.. if that makes sense. :derp
Try running the game through Steam with Steam overlay enabled and ignore DS4windows and use Steam's controller setup thingy

I finished the UC Vanguard questline, it was pretty awesome. Working on the main quest now and getting Sarah to marry me.
People calling it Starefield. :lol
I automatically assumed that this would have a "performance mode", so to speak, for Series X to run around 60fps, but apparently not. :wtf
I'm a bit shocked by how much publicity this game is getting. Good or bad, this looks to be WAY more talked about than TOTK did, or any other game this year for that matter.
Baldur's Gate 3 is just Hunie Pop for normies, they'll all play Starfield when they're done jerking off.
After a good intro few hours Starfield has settled into the boring ass Bethesda play pattern. Enter building, load screen, talk to one boring guy, leave building, load screen, go to vendor, load screen. Sell all my crap. Go to next waypoint. 5 more load screens talk to another loser, he sends you across the galaxy, 5 more load screens. Small firefight with 4 enemies. Combat jank af. Bored already.
Should I start up some faction questline and go full maverick renegade on their asses? Perhaps that will make the game more entertaining. I should just get Armored Core and play a proper action game

Tell you what ... Gonna call it out..
Been listening to the OST, and frankly, it's not that great. I would put money down that, when this was originally envisioned, Jeremy Soule was gonna get the gig. But instead, they got that has-been Inon Zur to fart out this uninspired score. I bet you anything that the higher ups (you know who you are) had Jeremy Soule set up for those accusations in order to have him cancelled and usher in Inon... Mainly because of this game.
I see what's going on, Inon and crew...

Don’t bother with the filler quests, just do the factions and the main quest unless you have turbo autism.
Playing on Series X :shrug:Yea havent watched any X footage yet but on PC the loads are almost instant for small sections (like a store) and 1/2 seconds in some bigger cases
This first update is a small hotfix targeted at the few top issues were are seeing. After that, expect a regular interval of updates that have top community requested features including:
Brightness and Contrast controls
HDR Calibration Menu
FOV Slider
Nvidia DLSS Support (PC)
32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support (PC)
Eat button for food!
We’re also working closely with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel on driver support, and each update will include new stability and performance improvements.
People really can be morons
