According to Hans-Kristian Arntzen, a prominent open-source developer working on Vkd3d, a DirectX 12 to Vulkan translation layer, Starfield is not interacting properly with graphics card drivers.

    It boggles my mind how many things people say about this game that are patently untrue, obviously extremely biased against the game/studio, or make it seem like this game killed their dog.

    The game has issues, for sure, some things like the nonexistent city/building local map systems are indefensible, but damn dude, I wish people would just try to have mature discussions with realistic expectations about it instead of whatever this shit show is that we call “gaming discussions”

        You mean for RRP? Because $120 AUD is RRP of pretty much all AAA games.

        Sure, if the game doesn’t appeal to you for that value, then there will be eventual sales. It won’t be worth that amount to everyone. Doesn’t really excuse the overly emotional criticism, or even the overly emotional defense from others. It’s a good game. A true value judgment from there will be harder and more tied to individual tastes.

      Gamers will never be mature or have realistic expectations. They cannot fathom that people are enjoying a thing they don’t like, and they’re very vocal about it, it’s petty, really.

      I try to move myself off of these discussions but there’s always one comment that drags me down the well because it’s so blatantly untrue, but it’s miserable. Lemmy, kbin and Reddit are overly negative places where it seems the goal is to get everyone mad with terrible takes.

      People need to remember that opinions aren’t factsz and learn to shut the fuck up and let people enjoy things.

        You want people to have more mature discussions but then disavow any nuance in the same breath. Do you not see how this is a contradiction?
