I’ve seen people report the prices were 70/50, and i’m wondering if the immediate hostility cause them to knock it down 10 dollars each before I could get to steam to see it.

Whats your guys opinion on this? I think the prices are ludicrously stupid and detatched from reality.

    Why the starfield engine, if I may ask?

    It seems to be graphically identical to Fallout 4, yet runs a whole lot worse, in my experience.

          I’m assuming that the older engine is written to not take advantage of newer hardware. Fallout 76 gets down to around 40 fps in some places around Morgantown Airport, for example, but Starfield stays smooth, well over 120 fps.

            the only way i get above 45fps in starfield is if i crank everything to low/medium.

            I can run fallout 4 at max everything and still get like 100+ in heavy fights(i dont remember the exact number, been a while since i last played, but definitely high enough for a butter experience)

            which is a stark contrast for a game that seems visually unchanged from fallout 4.

              I’m running pretty current hardware (7950X3D, RX 7900 XTX), so could be that it can take advantage of the hardware. Starfield’s also throwing a lot more by way of polygons and textures at the screen.
