Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

    I dunno dude, I’ve heard a lot of people have legit complaints about the game, especially on PC.

      For PC, game optimization is very inconsitent. When I’m in a smaller space like a dungeon or the Constellation Lodge, it’s actually pretty great and runs smoothly. When I go into the city though, the framerate is terrible. The graphics also become significantly worse. So yeah, wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of those negative reviews are from PC players having to deal with Bethesda jank again.

        People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra.

          It’s reasonable to expect high framerates in 2023. If people want the game to run smooth there’s nothing wrong with that. Hell, doom eternal was a Bethesda game and it looked gorgeous and ran like butter, so we know they can pull it off.

            A lot of people also seem to not know that you can’t just spend 80% of your budget on a graphics card and buy whatever CPU you can afford with whatever is left.

              I have a 3080 and the game runs noticeably worse in the cities than it does in small rooms. And that’s with everything at low-medium and 75% rendering resolution which seems ridiculous. And the game doesn’t even look that good.

                  I have a ryzen 3900x. It’s never been the bottleneck for me before. I can have 20 applications open while playing most games without a hiccup.

                  I have high standards, but still, there’s no reason starfield should perform so much worse than other modern games.
