Looking in that mod thread, which would you say is the best out of the Neutral LUT one and the Decent one? They seem to basically do the same thing, so wondered if one is better than the other

Natural-LUT doesn't need reshade, so that is the one I am using and it seems excellent really.

I guess you could look at it that way, theres just too many good games on gamepass to not sub for it :)

I did discover a few gems through it but problem is when I hit a game I spent more than a certain amount of time playing at which point it rendered it pointless as I may have just purchased the game at that point. Different use cases etc, but ultimately I found I was never that invested in any game I played on it, it felt different when I actually purchased the games I liked though.

@CAT-THE-FIFTH That's hardly a potato, but good for test purposes for sure.

Let me be clear, before the super PRO Starfield crowd, put up their own deflectors and come in to shout at me, when I say its not something I would pay for, I dont say that because I dont think Starfield is worth the money (havent played it yet so I cant say that) , I say that because generally I prefer fantasy over scifi in games (theres far fewer scifi games that I like compared to non-scifi), thats all

Damn, I was just about to put my Starfield cap on and have at you! :p

Yeah, I play A LOT of games though, almost 400 games on steam now , plus all the ones on Gamepass, Ubi Connect, EA origin etc, so I get through a lot of titles. 60 hours a week , every week, gets me through a lot of titles, so gamepass works out as good value for me, though there are still some titles that I buy, even though they are on gamepass..such as the upcoming Cities 2, because of mods/dlcs are better not on gamepass

Makes sense. Some people preferred Dragonage over Mass Effect and vice versa.

Luckily I got a few months for free,so I have a few weeks to determine whether my New Potato setup(Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX3060TI) will run this OK! :cry:

Hm, must be an annual thing:
Good Mid-range system >> Okay system >> New Potato
Year 1 >> Year + 1 >> Year + 2

I wonder what my "temp" RTX3050" is now?
Entry Level >> Newest Potato >> Old stone?

To be fair to the RTX 3050, looking at certain high-street vendor of used parts, its value hasn't moved down in months and now sits just below the RX6600 XT, which is crazy!

Yeah, funnily enough, all this Starfield talk lately is tempting me to retry Cyberpunk and see how its come along, havent played it since release. Trouble is that Lamplighters League, Alan Wake 2 and Cities 2 are out soon and those are high on my playlist

I'd wait until the major patch + DLC is released before revisiting CP2077, that's what I'm doing, anyway.

Lamplighters League is another example of a game with a setting I like but I just can't do too much turn-based stuff as it bores me quick. Same reason I never got in to Wasteland or Desperados despite liking both settings. There are no games after Starfield remotely on my radar so that is the kind of time where I may look to resub. Ignoring the standard huge back catalogue I want to try (Disco Elysium, BG3(try and at least finish it even if I never replay), RDR2, 300 40k games etc etc)

Good thing I didn't spend the extra on the RTX3070! :p

Its much better,but the issues with NPC AI and RPG aspects are still there IMHO. Phantom Liberty might improve on those aspects,but CDPR has made it even heavier to run.

So if Starfield is making my system a New Potato,Phantom Liberty is going to make it into Old Stone! :(
 
So, back to Starfield, I keep reading/seeing people say that if you are going to invest a lot of time in the game then the best thing to do is to power through the main story asap but people dont seem to elaborate on why they say that. Does anyone know why the main story should be done first as quickly as possible? I'm guessing its a NG+ thing?
 
Had a quick play with outposts, unless enforced I have no intention of touching that aspect of the game, at least I didn't have to connect wires though.

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by this game? I just got to the part where you join the group of people looking for alien artifacts, I looked around the City and ended up in some museum or something. On the first mission I give all my loot to the robot, but now the woman is following me around and the robot has buggered off with all my loot:mad: probably spending it on CPUs and memory, where is he and where do I sell the loot?
