    I have about 140 hours in the game on PC, since launch. I haven’t played it since. I was just poking around the mods at Nexus, I see the Genesis thing. That might be worth playing it again.

    Mods keep Bethesda games going, I have over 6700 hours in FO4. That’s only because of the mods.

      Sadly mods won’t fix the fact you have to play a loading screen.

      The fact that Bethesda thought they could get away with their ancient engine once again is laughable.

        I’m willing to bet that you’ve never actually played Starfield, you’re just parrotting what others have complained about.

        Does Starfield have problems? Yes. But anyone who goes “hurr durr ancient engine” clearly hasn’t played a Bethesda game since Skyrim

          Nope. Sorry if you need copium, but I played about 50 hours. It got really boring because planets are generally empty. Combat is OK, but not special.

          There really needed to be improvements to flight. As it stands, you can’t even walk around your own ship while it’s underway. And that, as I said, is because of the Creation engine. It’s just not acceptable for a modern game. Bethesda knows this, they’re just milking what’s left.

          Is it the worst game ever made? Not by a longshot. But it’s not a good one either.

          PS- and if you like the game, great. That’s the cool thing about opinions. Everyone can have their own.

            As it stands, you can’t even walk around your own ship while it’s underway.

            I dare you to list 3 game engines that actually can handle that, while still having other ships and obstacles rendered outside of the player’s craft while the player is outside of the pilot’s seat

              I dare you to stop stumping for Bethesda.

              That’s the cool thing about opinions. Everyone can have their own.

                So, you made a claim with nothing to back it up, based solely on parroted complaints from other people, and now you’re getting pissy when someone asks for proof?

                How predictable
