I'm really confused.
I thought Starfield is not for me, because i have Ryzen 2700 and Vega56, so no next gen system. I also have no interest to play a shooter at 30fps.
But i could not resist and have tried it regardless.
It runs very well at low or medium settings. I feel it's 60fps most of the time. I play from HDD, so it often gets stuck for loading, but i won't complain.
I have played only half an hour, till those pirates land and shoot.
Then i had to stop. Because i realized they call me a 'she'. Seems i have changed my player model to male, but i forgot to change the gender before that page.
So now i am a girl in a body of a man. How great.
I will never learn what people love about RPGs. Now i have to start from scratch, lol.
Now i have read an article on DSOG. Ranting, and quoting Todd Howard having said 'You may need to upgrade your PC'. But no - i don't need to upgrade. It runs fine and looks like a good job.
DSOG also claims reducing gfx settings does not help much with perf. But no - it does make a big difference. I can throttle it down to 30fps if i want, i just don't notice any visual improvements. I'm fine with medium.
I decided to keep the game.
This is not the first time i'm happy with a game which has the reputation of being too demanding or poorly optimized.
What's going on here? Are people just used to rant and criticize, so they do not even need a reason anymore?
I'm also sorry for console gamers. Surely with gfx options it could be 60fps and many people would prefer that.
But i'll see. Maybe it gets demanding only later in the game...
