MODERATORS
The amount of loading screens to get anywhere was properly annoying compared to previous games.
Which is why once you got to a planet once and unlocked it, you fast traveled everywhere. cause that cut the amount of loading screens by like 80% Which also pretty much eliminated everything space and ship related.
I mean, I understand. I get it. We're not gonna get wide open planet to space real time transitions and shit, because they are using a game engine that has almost 30 years of institutional inertia behind it. There are just limitations to things that they have to deal with, and from a technical point of view its kinda impressive the shit they continue to kludge into the engine with each game, but it does have its limitations.. and I think its long past time for them to figure out a new engine (and I mean new engine, not just rename the current engine again like they did with NetImmerse>Gamebryo, Gamebryo>Creation, Creation>Creation2).. just not UE5, preferably. I would like to get playable framerates without spending 6000 dollars on GPUs, lol.
Yeah I upgraded my 1050ti to get good framerates. I had a lot of fun with Starfield and then took a long break and came back to the story recently. No regrets but it's not at the level of Oblivion or Skyrim.
