Those particular trees look bad but that's not representative of all the foliage in the game. Here is a vid of foliage looking like most current gen games look. It's a mirage on a moon on Tau Ceti.

The hilarious thing about this is that the "vegetation" you're so proud of are just 2d sprite cards with high res textures layered on top. There's no life to it, no depth, you can even see as you pass one of the bushes that the leaves are 2d and not a 3d model, your feet clip through the grass instead of brushing them aside. It's hilarious that you think it looks as good as this
when there's no life in it, the lighting is awful and washed out, the materials are plasticky and unrealistic, there's popin everywhere. There are dozens of games, not even AAA games, with vegetation and foliage work better than Starfield.

Where it’s at.
I’m excited for Phantom Liberty. A complete rethink could be just what a previously troubled game needed. I just hope it doesn’t lose anything that’s currently fun about the game, and the changes are all for the better. That’s a risk with radically changing a known game.
It isn't like they could really make it much worse.

Some of these made my experience much better, especially the UI FPS mod, no LUT, and the inventory. I'd recommend installing the UI one first, then the inventory.

We have a gazillion similar Starfield threads, maybe it would be a good idea to merge some of them.


I highly doubt that there may be any 'massive' refunds. Around 80% of positive reviews after maybe around 800K units sold in Steam is pretty good. It's too early, specially considering it's a long SP game I assume many people will take their time to make their review, specially the positive ones.

I think the reviews may end in the mid eighties.
For steam, that’s bad. Games are usually on 90% approval. Users are not as harsh as professional reviewers and outlets, they’re more easier to please.

Haha, I can only imagine the pronoun thing being very open for abuse. For the sake of my account I'll say no more.

I like the lore in the game. Seems like humanity has progressed past "The Expanse" stage of space-faring and is well on its way to the "Dune" stage, with Space religions and cults.

1 million concurrent players is a ‘huge’ win according to Phil. Am I missing something?
I would think that any game that sells about 3-5 millions on Day 1 should have about 1 million CCU on launch day depending on time zones? It doesn't sound like a rare and impressive metric.

Hogwarts, BG3 and Elden Ring all reached almost 1 million on steam alone. If you count everyone else that were playing on PS, Xbox and other storefronts it was way higher.

Starfield is already available to like 25-30 millions subscribers too.
