Thanks to Beth for the code. Even though I said Redfall was the worst game of 2023 lol Beth had a lot of story restrictions and coverage stuff so I had to jump around a bit. One or two cuts might be abrupt as I felt something too spoilery was in the video A liked it a lot I wish it was more seamless and there are a couple issues! But overall, it was a blast and I am still playing it which is rare for me and joined Baldurs Gate 3 as a title that I have still been in well after being done. Perf seems impacted by hyperthreading too. Off seems to be faster. But DLSS should be added soon(should have been day one) www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming

I bought the game on the strength of this review. I had to request a refund. As of pre-launch, this game has severe issues with stuttering/freezing on some Nvidia (and possibly some AMD) cards. Ensuring it's installed on an SSD (yes, that's a requirement) fixes it for some. Not for me. I tried every fix people suggested (well, every fix that didn't seem like a ridiculous idea, internet people can be silly sometimes). Nothing. So yeah. Until/unless they can patch this issue, this game is a Wait for me.

The combat hardly looks a day newer than Fallout 4, which was considered middling at best in 2015. Same components - hitscan weapons, NPCs too busy with cover animations to be reactive, weapon bashing that does almost nothing, hovering around a room taking chip damage and stimpaking, people walking through walls. I mean, it's good enough for me I guess, but let's be real here.

Watched review by Luke Stevens, he talked about cut and paste encounters in the game. One he referenced was miners who unearthed an alien skull. He ends up battling the miners, forgot why. But this same scene occurs two more times on other planets with enemies in the same locations as first encounter. He has other examples of deja vu experiences in the game. With 144 hours in did you find similar cut and paste occurrences in the game? Thank you for the review.
@JohnSmith-vn8dm
Жыл бұрын
Luke Stevens has been critical of the game for a long time, even before launch. That doesn't mean his criticisms are invalid or wrong, its just that he's mainly looking at aspects of the game which fall short. His audience is people who basically want to hear someone criticize Bethesda. But I think the meat of his claim that that you can find repeated procedural content in the game seems reasonable, because it makes mathematical sense. Its basically a variation of the birthday problem. If Bethesda designed 50 unique procedural locations that are instanced on planet tiles (which is a lot and could probably make up its own 20 hour game) and you explore 10 of them, there's a 62% chance you see repeats. If Bethesda designed only 40 or 30, the the probability of repeats grows to 71% or 82%. So I don't doubt Luke Stevens could find 3 identical locations. But I've played 100 hours of this game and I haven't noticed repeats. Why? Well because out of those 100 hours I spent 97 of those hours doing the handcrafted content and only 3 hours doing random procedural content on planets. And I didn't do those 3 hours all at once, but spread out, so even if I did see repeated content I didn't notice it. Starfield is such a huge game that you can basically spent dozens of hours doing whatever content you want. If you want to do procedural content for hours on end, you can. But my personal recommendation would be to not just exit your ship and run in a random direction to explore random planets like you explore the world of Skyrim. Instead you should explore the cities in that way. Because in Starfield the are huge and filled to the brim with interesting handcrafted quests, especially Neon and Akila city.

Honestly, I'd say never touch. Don't waste your time. This game isn't aggressively bad. It's just aggressively mediocre in every way. The combat is average, the diologue is bland and soulless, the player choice is merely a very thin illusion, the universe is empty, bland, boring and repetitive, the main story is merely okay, the side quests are repetitive and meaningless, the loot is generic and boring. The exploration is pointless because there's nothing to find, and you hit loading screens way too often. The ship building is the only part of this game I'd say is "good" or "cool" or "interesting."" And even then, you just use your cool ship to do fairly bland and repetitive space battles and a bunch of fast travel loading screens. None of it is outstandingly bad. It's not like the Kong game, that is just actively sh*tty and terrible, but with so many better options to invest your time and money into, there's simply no reason to waste them on this aggressively mediocre game.

For a 4k game with most settings high? I can't say I agree much. While I would WANT extra and higher of course. That doesn't jive sadly with almost any current titles. Though if we compare titles then we have to compare content and engines, and at that point...well. Then we would just start arbitrarily assigning a ceiling ABOVE 60. 90? 120? its a very hard line to draw and what games to compare. And NOW or on the day those games released. @@scatz4569

@@ACGreviews I mean pick any better looking games from this year and compare frames? BG3 maybe? It's utilisation is also terrible, in some cases not big gains you'd expect when changing resolutions but not actually taxing the CPU. Bethesda games have run pretty trash on release for at least a decade. FO4 downtown for example, still runs poorly today. Anyway we can agree to disagree but as a high end GPU owner who expects to run all settings maxed for a year or two after GPU releases this bites.

I bought the game largely because of this review. And I got to say, I was HUGELY disappointed. Probably my biggest game disappointment of the year. Frankly, so much of what ACG described was not what the game turned out to be. There is much criticism for this game. After 30 hours of gameplay, I agree with ALL of it. Such a hollow world with no real life to it. I wish I could get my money back.

You can't explore space each planet has invisible barriers with very little to do. Reused assets on multiple planets to the point you encounter the same enemies in the same spots.

IMO this is a minor grievance I have with some modern games as the parts are there to generate unique looking characters. I don't mind story characters having a bit of extra pizzazz but random civvies looking like globs or as if setting the generated fidelity to about half takes me out of it a little bit. This as opposed to i.e. Baldur's Gate 3 where every character looks good and even if they are "unimportant" they have some sort of interesting one-liner that adds a little bit of character instead of "nice day out". Of course, BG3 is sculpted to the last detail but that begs the question: Would Starfield work better as a thorough 10-20 planet game or procedurally generated 1000 planet game?

After delivering such a glowing review I was excited to see this game for myself. I was immediately met with a washed out image on my Oled. It looks like I'm emulating a TN panel with the lack of contrast in the lighting. There are no brightness adjustment settings in the game. Nothing. No gamma adjustment. No obvious HDR support either. The raised blacks completely eliminate contrast and can be seen as early as the opening scene in the game. ACG, you toyed with brightness but failed to mention these settings were on your own personal display or display driver settings, not in game. For a triple A game to lack such a basic feature is astounding. To say the performance of this game is better than expected when getting a hair over 60fps at native 4k with a 4090 is misleading. FSR being a crutch for decent performance is a red flag and needs criticized as well. While you seem to have really enjoyed the game and its strengths, I'm not sure where your critical eye went in regards to these problems that dramatically alter the player experience. Oh, and the lack of FOV slider is ridiculous as well.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is 100% better. It has all the same limitations but has an actual story with momentum and mystery... This games story is just a GIGANTIC tease... all it does is make you wish the actual Starfield galaxy had anything meaningful to offer you. This game starts out tricking you into thinking its a big open sandbox.. it is not thats where all my excitement came from. The potential to find amazing stories and explore amazing locations. That just isnt on offer in Starfield. The Bethesda that made Morrowind and Fallout 3 does not exist anymore and we all have to accept that.

Other reviews mention bugs, invisible boundaries planetside and other deflating factors that is sure to upset alot of folks based on the hype I've seen for this game.
