It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.

It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It's a piece of crap.

Glad I didn't pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴‍☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.

I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I'm so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.

Everything I'm hearing about this game is exactly what I expected from it. Bland, soulless, empty, buggy as hell, terrible writing, etc.

I can't even enjoy being smug anymore, though. I don't like being smug now. It feels bad.

I was watching streams all day yesterday while I had a torrent going. After a few hours of watching I just cancelled the download. It’s bad.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone is surprised by Bethesda being crappy anymore

If Fallout 76 and Redfall didn't convince anyone they're willing to publish absolutely unfinished gibberish, I don't know what will

You don't even need to go that recent. Fallout 4 was trash. Skyrim was bland. Fallout 3 and Oblivion had fun side stuff but the main quests totally sucked.

The gaming industry treats their devs like shit and it shows

[-] abc@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

oh cool there's a reliable source on the seas for it already?

smuglord Bethesda, you fools why would I pay $69.99 for Fallout 4 in space when I can get it for free 24 hours after it releases. I will set my 1060 on fire but I will do it at no upfront cost

It got cracked 4 minutes before the early access started btw

The fact that there are people who paid money for the game who can't play it yet, while pirates can freely download it, is just chefs-kiss

Starfield?

What's that?

The only Bethesda game I care about is Daggerfall 1996 for Windows 95

There are times I'm unhappy to be right about something I was being pessimistic about, I'll admit this isn't really one of those times

Bethesda and todd have had a massive ego problem for almost 2 decades now and they've been past their prime since before Oblivion, kinda hope they eat shit on this a bit

This game lets you "do everything" but it has giant mechs that aren't able to be piloted while Armored Core 6 just lets you pilot the giant mech and does that well, I know which I prefer

It's a Bethesda game, of course it runs like crap.

oh you people wanted a functional video game? todd

It’s impressive how bad the performance is. I had to use AMD Adrenalin to limit it to 60fps to stop it from crashing immediately. Not that it was running higher than 20 at that point anyway.

All settings to lowest. Had to lower my monitor’s resolution to 1080p because the game doesn’t have a normal fullscreen option, only borderless, and no way to downscale.

After all of that it runs at a buttery 25-30fps looking worse than Skyrim which can run at 144 without a second thought. I genuinely don’t understand what the fuck they did, low settings look maybe equivalent to medium on Skyrim, a 12 year old game, while running so much worse.

My graphics card certainly isn’t the newest but there is absolutely no reason it shouldn’t be able to run any game coming out now at least on low.

when was the last time bethesda made an actually good game? not a template for modders, not a "it's good but," a genuinely quality game.

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

New Vegas. But I guess Obsidian made that.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Morrowind is good on its own. Fallout 3 is...ok. The rest are whatever.

Cool thing is pirates get to play the game earlier than the paypigs who did not buy the overpriced Deluxe edition or whatever it is called. (This is not a call to publishers to Denuvo their games.)

Playing a pirated copy at 60 fps on 5800x/3070 near max settings using the DLSS mod scaling 720p up to 1440p in 21:9. Maybe I have bad taste but I'm enjoying it a lot. Similar to Fallout 4 but with much better writing. Le capitalism in space. Takes itself pretty seriously.

So far I've been able to

spoileragree to blow up a stolen ship for a corrupt official, lie to the pirates on board and pretend to be a pirate, get found out immediately when boarding. Then by luck I convinced them not to kill me with a difficult speech check, I agree to let them keep the ship and in exchange they give me an incriminating letter about the official. I then lie and tell the official that I blew it up and then report them to authorities.


Compared to Fallout 4 which consisted of "Go shoot these guys who are bad because they're bad guys", this is a breath of fresh air. The fact that you can talk to many enemies rather than kill on sight is very nice. The dialogue is revamped and speech checks are a series of luck-based dialogue choices that make it feel a lot less like "I think you should just give me everything for nothing in return"

Really this is all I've wanted in a Bethesda RPG. Compared to previous releases I'm comfortable saying that this is the most stable at launch so far. I'm a couple hours in and really haven't seen many bugs beyond animation glitches.

If you like Bethesda RPGs I fail to see how you wouldn't like this. Though the "$35 extra to play on labor day weekend" was scummy.

I’m playing it at 1440p on a 2070 super and ryzen 5 3600, with 32gb ram. I haven’t touched any settings and it seems to be running great. Although i haven’t actually checked my frame count and I’m not very fps sensitive in the first place so I dunno

That's some impressively bad performance.

Don't worry the community will fix it for them for free over the next two years.

3090 here with an ultra wide monitor and running on ultra preset, game runs fine for me 🤷‍♂️

"Hmm I have a $3000 PC and can therefore brute force it, what do you mean it runs like crap?"

fucking g*mers

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some of us can't spend 3 months rent on a PC. "My PC is a battleship and it runs fine, have you tried not being POOR socialists?" is not an excuse.
