    ***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

    Hey, I'm not the speech police. Comments were made that were inaccurate and I refuted them. Also, if a person wilfully makes inaccurate remarks in order to vilify something they dislike, I consider that person a troll. Anyway, I'm done here - I hang out in this thread to talk about Starfield...

    Don't worry about the chart! It's just for illustrative purposes and to show the overall % share of votes - if FM was your GOTY then go with that :)

    YOUR Game of the Year 2023

    3 votes is getting a bit crowded - might have to consolidate it into 'Everything Else' soon... *Edit* BTW, just for fun and comparison, here's 2022's results as a pie chart:

    The crew can provide some useful buffs (Sarah's Leadership skill frees up an extra crew slot, Sam's piloting speeds up the ship and adds a permanent point to engines, Vasco adds a point to overall reactor power), but yeah - would've been nice if they filled more of a role on the ship rather than...

    ***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

    There are 85k positive Steam reviews vs 53k negative - that's not generally negative. Starfield is the 2nd most voted for game in the OCUK GOTY poll, and the majority of negative comments in this thread are from you. Also, despite the huge amount of negative coverage on Eurogamer (who were...

    The Finals

    I've reported two teams for cheating, but out of the hundreds of matches I've played that's not bad. I actually find the troll snipers more consistently annoying than any suspected cheaters. Most games we've lost felt like we could've won them if we'd zigged instead of zagged and it's rare to...

    ***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

    One common 'trick' to reset NPCs (and other stuff) is to go to Venus and sleep for one local hour (1000 standard hours) - I've used that to fix quests before. Is that the Eleos Retreat? You have to explore the nearby cave to get that one to work (the worker is supposed to have gotten lost...

    Thanks! :D I try to be informed in my comments but still get things wrong from time-to-time :o

    AMD FSR 3.0 has exposed the ugly truth about most PC gamers

    Yep. 100%. I do think there should be stronger consumer protection laws for software - if you can prove that a software product (game or otherwise) has unacceptable faults, you should be able to demand a full refund - you should also be able to demand a refund if the vendor substantially alters...

    ***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

    I'd say that if the game clicks with you it's absolutely worth it given the enormous amount of content on offer - but it's proven quite divisive so if you're gonna buy it, get it from somewhere you can get a refund (just Steam I guess?). Getting a month of Game Pass as @humbug suggested isn't a...

    AMD FSR 3.0 has exposed the ugly truth about most PC gamers

    I actually think we're seeing the first signs of a second video game crash - the console and PC market, whilst commanding huge revenues, has been surpassed by the mobile space. Game budgets are rivalling Hollywood blockbusters (Spider-Man 3 is projected to cost $350,000,000 to make) and 'AAA'...

    The Finals

    I think new game modes will appear in time, but I also think it's important for a new entry in the competitive fps space to have a strong identity of its own - as a live service game, I think it's wise to focus on doing 'one thing well' and building your dedicated player-base before attempting...

    AMD FSR 3.0 has exposed the ugly truth about most PC gamers

    I don't like seeing the term 'lazy' thrown around when it comes to game development because the devs themselves are always under constant pressure from their publishers in the form of budgets and deadlines - it *is* however becoming clear that upscaling is increasingly being used as a crutch to...

    Well, if you didn't make reductive arguments, I wouldn't have to be so catty ;)

    At least Todd has a real award to add to Starfield's marketing copy now :) (Alright, two - they got 'Best XBox Game' at the Golden Joysticks) I can't stop laughing - the haters on the Starfield subreddit's brains are melting over this :D

    AMD FSR 3.0 has exposed the ugly truth about most PC gamers

    Every legit tech-tuber at the time called them out for their deceptive marketing and that '3x' they quoted was only for a single game - the (at that time, unreleased) path-traced version of CP2077 (in averaged performance the 4070 Ti is slower than the 3090 Ti). I'd also add that an asterisk on...
