It runs bad on the series x. It reminds me of when I thought I had a pc that could run crysis and crysis quickly embarrassed my pc.

I mean Atlantis is still a stuttering and unsteady mess, but beyond that...I'm straight :manny: . Crazy that the Series X got issues with running the game. Hell you can damn near play the game on Steam Deck and the game was a mess and a half 5 patches in.

Yeah I’m ngl whenever I get into a big shootout the game slows down and sometimes straight up freezes. I’m sure the numerous mods don’t help but still :francis:

I'm trying to do Fallen Footsteps but I can't figure out where the goddamn orphanage key is :dahell: . I went back to Ueda's house and turned that bytch upside down, I looked all over the orphanage entrance (noticed Andreja outside blasting and came out blasting too :bustback:), went back and talked to the quest givers. I'm at a loss.

I figured it out. Explore all sides of the building, I don't think it's possible otherwise. But the quest :mjcry:

I had to run it back - there's two ways to handle the quest right before the end. Let's see if the way I chose produces a further quest.

How did anyone finish this DLC in 5 hours? I'm still playing this finding new stuff and have to have put at least 15 hours into it so far. No I'm not done with the main quest of the DLC either. How do you finish this in 5 hours?
Skip all conversation, fast travel everywhere as soon as possible, ignore any and all side questing and exploration, pass over and don't read anything that explains more of the game lore. @The Intergalactic Koala put out a good question in his thread, are people actually having fun gaming? MFs just go through the motions, I swear.

I started playing over the weekend. I will take my time playing this as the new content probably won't be until 2025 end of year. I can easily say though that they have a big opportunity to build off these factions or stories for the unforeseeable future. They just have to do it right.

Finally got around playing the DLC and just hit the :camby:
to all of the houses after all the bullshyt I went through and them whiny asses didn't respect it at all

But on the real, I dug it as a leftover dlc, but 30 dollars for this is asking a lot with how short and empty the main story was.

I wrapped up Shattered Space a little while ago. To me it follows the same trend as the base game in that if you just straight line the main quest, it's too quick and not worth it. Similarly, there are parts in the quest line that are bland and inconsequential such as when you get to Dazra and have to go through the cave to join House Varuun. The only consequence is kneeling in the corrosive pool for like 10 seconds. That's just pointless. But then you have side quests such as Ueda, his granddaughter, and the music box. Like I said I had to run that one back because it felt like I was making a big mistake otherwise. Or even giving legitimate consideration to taking both of the Vortex things from the dam. You only need one, but you don't know that in the moment (maybe they should have made that a catch 22). I didn't want to screw the farmers :manny: . But I did feel like putting those people down for good.

Outside of the quests I enjoyed walking around Dazra and its surrounding areas. Even though not every POI is impactful, the density is what helps keep you lost on Varuun Kai for the duration of the DLC. I only left once to offload some excess stuff, then immediately got lost in Dazra again. They did good and this is what the should have done for the major settlements you visit in the base game, people would have complained slightly less (since MS owns Bethesda now, they won't be able to make people happy anymore). If only they would have added in a way to rebuild Dazra after you finish the main quest.

The added weapons are cool but underwhelming compared to the ones we already have. Other than the Varuun variant of the Equinox, which makes a good EM weapon when converted, I never felt the compelled to change from my Varuun rifle. The space suit variety is virtually non-existent. Most of the outfits are recolors of existing ones. All of these ares are pretty disappointing.

Overall I like the further elaboration on Starfield lore. It's a new IP with infinite universes so they can do literally anything. I'm looking forward to more. As a total package it's ok. It doesn't seek to revolutionize the gameplay, so if you're deluding yourself into thinking it will, if won't. It gives you a taste of more Starfield. If that's what you want then this DLC is for you. If you wanted something different out of Starfield, go play a different game. Catch it on sale to get it at proper value.

How are you going to ask if it's worth it if you're torrenting it :skip: ? Do you like games in the Bethesda catalog? If yes, then yes. If no, then no. I hate to say it but it really is that simple for Starfield. Ignore what the Internet™ thought they wanted it to be. Pay attention to what it is - the Bethesda formula in space applied to a clean slate.

You REALLY got to be a Bethesda fan to enjoy this. My only Bethesda games were Fallout 4 and Wolfenstein. I tried to get into Skyrim but it just felt old.


Simply put, I'm spoiled by other open world games. Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3.

Once you get that type of quality is hard for me to consider Starfield. I'm disappointed, I had high hopes. It's not a terrible game, but the fact that its a Skyrim skin on the same tired engine is a big let down

Probably should have explained better :mjlol:



I don't PC game but I have a computer built for editing. I usually love bethesda games and any open world game with a good plot and stuff to do..

But the backlash for this game made it seem like it wasn't even worth turning on. My son, who has a gaming computer and MS live service, won't even download the shyt to let me play :mjcry:



I mean I can force him, but on GP, I won't. But I'm not paying for a game that's ass. So I was gonna try it.. But again. They made this seem like it was the worst thing ever. Like it would be a waste of time regardless

The point I'm trying to make is that these games seek to achieve different things in their own ways. I played RDR2 to play RDR2, not to play GTA: Horse, and frankly it didn't try to be that regardless of the parallels people try to draw. Cyberpunk took heat for months because it didn't play like GTA or have narrative structures like Witcher 3 (specifically the Red Barron quest, let's tell it like it is). It was simply the anime that turned public opinion around on it because after they fixed the major bugs and performance issues, the gameplay didn't fundamentally change at all - I haven't revisited after the DLC release. But all the while it played and functioned as its own game.

To your point about being disappointed, I get it, and it's all subjective, but I just don't understand what people expected out of Bethesda. They're going to ride some version of Creation Engine until the sun fizzles out. Their gameplay formula rarely changes. Other than the story we could have anticipated Starfield every step of the way.

Like I said it's all subjective. Starfield is Bethesda does space. You can blaze through the main quest quickly and grind NG+ multiple times in a row and it probably won't be fun. I have a feeling that's what people did and that's why a lot don't like it. Torrent it and see :manny:
