That makes no sense man. Just let me give you the up and up on the game dude. I have a high end PC rig and it has never dipped below 60FPS. I'm on a 4090, MAX settings and the game is VERY efficient. Look at my texture memory usage and the GPU can get up to 99% usage.

So a game that doesn't look anything spectacular is bringing a 4090 to its knees and you're happy with that?

Damn, I thought you were smarter.

I’m way too tired to go into it right now but this game is like a 5 right now.

Old fashioned. Technically outdated. Extremely derivative. It’s not good.

Maybe it will change …
A 5? i haven't played a single game where i would rate it a 5 lol. 5 is like the game shouldn't even exist imo. To each their own i suppose. it is a slow burn though.

There's no FOV slider in this game. There is, however, a workaround:

in Documents/MyGames/Starfield create a text file and name it "StarfieldCustom.ini"

inside the text file, add this:

[Camera]

fFPWorldFOV=100.0000
fTPWorldFOV=100.0000

I would assume you can make the "100.0000" value any value and not just that one, so try and see what fits to your hearts content.

Source



Other people have reported that this works. This is what I will probably test first if they don't patch an FOV slider before general release:

[Display]
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90
fDefaultFOV=90
fDefaultWorldFOV=90
fFPWorldFOV=90.0000
fTPWorldFOV=90.0000

[Camera]
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90
fDefaultFOV=90
fDefaultWorldFOV=90
fFPWorldFOV=90.0000
fTPWorldFOV=90.0000

Crap

is this the biggest flop in industry history? It might be

Shocked that it flopped, really.
It scored 88. It didn't flop score wise, but it is far cry from game of the generation that some fanboys were hoping for.

The PC version scoring higher than the Xbox version is a mystery considering all the performance issues and bugs it has. I genuinely don't understand how some games get a free pass on these issues, while others are completely destroyed by smaller ones.

But you also forgot to mention very limited exploration and traveling ( Bethesda said otherwise not so long ago ). Also, fly through planets. LOL

Just for comparison:

They were trying to take Final Fantasy XVI score down. See the difference in reviews. 💀

Creation engine is a pig with lipstick. Not surprising really.

Game is "lucky" ($$) to be at 87 Meta. That is MS $$ power - they wield it and use it. Whatever you think of the returns vs. the level of investment, it does have a clear effect.

With that said, it's not a Cyberpunk level disaster or up there with Fallout: New Vegas. Still, as a AAA exclusive flagship, while you have Microsoft, and everything at their disposal as a defense force, you also get more scrutiny just by the sheer amount of eyes, which that "defense force" must account for to manage and control. The oppossing forces balance themselves.

Bethesda should have created a new engine quite a while back. While they tout that Creation Engine is not the same as Gamebryo, it is pretty much the same thing with improved systems.

I think of Gamebryo as an engine that is tailor-made to their RPG needs, and Creation as Gamebryo with a lot of tacked-on features, like a house made of muddy foundation. They need a new baseline that seamlessly integrates with whatever their needs are going forward. Since I assume ESVI will be using CE again, I'd say they need a new engine for Starfield 2.
