Finally got my DS4 to work properly without the d-pad skipping menu selections.     Just had to edit/re-initiate the d-pad selections to up, down, L&R via DS4Windows edit and it works!  It was a shot in the dark, but it fixed it!  DS4 lives on as the Grandmaster controller of My PS4, Switch and PC.    It had options to revise the deadzone for the DS5, but fixing the d-pad for the DS4 just came out easier to accomplish.

Holy shit I need to finish FFXVI so I can go full time into this. 

No spoilers, FYI


It's funny how back then when Skyrim launched, people trashed the PS3 version as being the ultra inferior version.  Well, that's what I played initially and sunk 200 hours in and only came across one major glitch (a headless forsworn camp).  It was still one of the greatest gaming experiences of memory; jankalicious and all.

People calling it Starefield.

Reminds me of the game store days when people would ask for "that Residential Evil" and the one guy who would always say "Capcom versus Sink."

Got married to Sarah. Did the main quest up until you buy the artifact on Neon, then I did a bunch of Neon side quests and started working through the Freestar Rangers questline. It feels really similar to the UC Vanguard storyline so far in that

You’re dealing with remnants of the Colony War that feel betrayed and scapegoated after the signing of the armistice, and there’s some shadowy puppet master pulling the strings. I just finished the quest to track down Maya, and it had some pretty sweet locations, the orbital clinic and the crystal asteroid mine. Now I’m at Red Mile going after Marcus. Hopefully the story throws some decent curveballs.

I automatically assumed that this would have a "performance mode", so to speak, for Series X to run around 60fps, but apparently not.   

[Joe Molotov]

Nope, it's only 30.

In this interview 30fps was already confirmed so yea

The game is cpu intensive

[Svejk]

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. 

And LOL and Todd's interview calling out gamers to upgrade their CPU's, because the game is optimized. 
It's not us, it's you.

I see more stuff for Baldur's Gate 3 than this.  Probably has to do with your newsfeedz.

[Joe Molotov]

Baldur's Gate 3 is just Hunie Pop for normies, they'll all play Starfield when they're done jerking off.

Finished the Freestar Rangers faction quests and almost done with Ryujin yesterday. Gonna join the Crimson Fleet now, then I guess I’ll start running down the main quest. I still think UC Vanguard was the best so far.

[MMaRsu]

[MMaRsu]

My god

[Pissy F Benny]

Pretty much done with the vanguard quest bar the last little bit, and its really good and I'm guessing the highlight of the game

Vae Victis did nothing wrong

It says 52 hours played on my Steam and I haven't done any factions yet, nor am I really that far into the main story haha.

I've done a bunch of side missions and activities though. The Davis sidequest on Akila City was cool, I liked that guy. Did anyone else here play that mission? Where you go out to look for the Ashtas?

Also it's so cool that the ingame radio station reports on your quest completions. Love that kind of stuff.

[Pissy F Benny]

The main story apparently ramps up alot but where im at (just rescued the space slav girl) is pretty bleh so far and probably the least engaging content I've done

[MMaRsu]

Oh yeah thats where I stopped for now as well, I got the next mission which is Stroud, which is cool because its QUARK from DS9 <3

Right now Im just questing around with Andreja, she's cool a lot better than Sarah

Although none of them like violence, which sucks ass, they need a hk-47 variant so bad

[MMaRsu]

lol

[Nintex]

I have the introvert perk, haven't seen much use for it so far. 

[Joe Molotov]

Crimson Fleet is pretty dope, might betray UC SysDef later.

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

Lmao what are you doing that you are seeing so many loading screens?

No SSD or something?

[The Sceneman]

Playing on Series X :shrug:

[Svejk]

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.

Not a huge fan. Some stuff is great though.

I do miss the more town specific music.

But Soule hasnt made anything in years, I don't think he even really went in against the accusations. Never went to trial or anything either. If I was him and I was certain of my innocence I would do anything to keep busy and stay relevant.

Soule hasnt done anything.

Now now, the actual quests you get from NPC can be pretty good.  (Constant/Paradiso quest for instance)

Don't do any of the mission board shit though, thats just radiant quests.

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

[The Sceneman]

I spent a bit of time walking around Akila yesterday and enjoyed myself some more. I like the resource gathering and scanning plants and aliens, my background is space-chef so I'm focusing on all the culinary stuff. Upgrading the scanner is pretty worthwhile as well it seems.

Probably gonna try to wrap it up this weekend. I've got about 50 hours in it and I've done all the faction questlines and the main questline up through "Unearthed". It was fun, but I'm ready for Lies of P now.

What's the best way to farm some xp, I've played nearly 50 hrs and I'm still just level 27, completing quests doesn't give you shit

Survey planets?

Do the activities? Fight people? Set the difficulty to very hard (dunno if that boosts xp in combat tho)
