It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.

It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It’s a piece of crap.

Glad I didn’t pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴‍☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.

I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I’m so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.

    Everything I’m hearing about this game is exactly what I expected from it. Bland, soulless, empty, buggy as hell, terrible writing, etc.

    I can’t even enjoy being smug anymore, though. I don’t like being smug now. It feels bad.

      I feel like Starfield shows us in real time why gamers are so reactionary and mindlessly uncritical and the power of propaganda. They will buy anything as long as you tell them what they want to hear. They watch 1 or 2 commercials and poof! Their decade or so of lived experience with Bethesda being shitty evaporates. Tod D. Howard wins again

      Same. I stopped talking about it with my friends because I was incredulous they’d decided to make a new IP, incredulous they’d picked something so bland I’ve been calling it “Corporate Memphis in Space”, and incredulous that basedon what I’m seeing on discord it’s exactly what I thought it would be - Empty, colorless, no soul or substance at all. Space is just a bunch of loading screens as you go from one barren grey planet with one point of interest to another barren grey planet with one point of interest. You don’t really fly your ship at all, except to point it’s nose at badguy ships while you hold down the fire button.

      I wasn’t expecting full of Elite Dangerous, but I was expecting you to actually be able to fly and land the space ship somehow.

        Wait, you don’t even fly the ship? So it’s more like Outer Worlds but with procedurally generated planet dungeons? Jesus.

        ALSO: I want to point out that you can totally do space race aesthetics and have it look amazing, because Prey did it back in 2017
