Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Not a bad start so far.
Man this is crazy. And to think this is just an early access launch numbers.

Take the day off brother, or a day off next week. Enjoy your gaming time and have fun, it's your hobby and what brings you happiness man. Get some good game time in!
Total tangent, has there been any news on a Starfield strategy guide hardbook edition? I like collecting and reading through those nice strategy guides and haven't heard anything as of yet.

What digital book? The premium edition gives you access to the first expansion.
Installed last night and started it only to cut ir right off. I didnt want to get to far in when I knew I would want to create my character when I have more time. Mainly started it up to see if it would let me play it... so yeah, I'm gonna play when I get home this evening... one question I do have about space flight however.
Does the game let us get in the ship and just fly around in space? Ive seen some say that you just menu hop from planet to planet basically with cutscenes and you dont actually fly that much.. but then they have traits that speak about spending time in space and bonuses... so aside from space dogfighting.. what else do you do?

You should be able to play right away after the obvious download and unpacking

I've just played up to getting the New Atlantis.
But just saw this tweet.
I "expertly" persuaded this guy to give up. seems there was another way...
I'll take some bugs if you can grenade first ask questions later.

There should be several Autosaves to load back from. Either way, that sucks.

yea, he had to use a previous autosave which didnt waste time but it was hilarious that he kept loading and dying

I agree with the sentiment that the game's tutorial system is not very good. There's a lot they don't tell you. I've had to go into keybindings to look up how to do stuff and I am the type that keeps a close eye on the hud for tips and hints. They should try improve this in future patches. Perhaps if they had made the manual space travel the default mode and then explained fast travel via tutorial pop ups, that might have hit differently for people. Sometimes the messaging can completely change the perspective.

I'll never forget when I had an auto save in new Vegas that was entering a door and there was a mine behind it.
I'd load in and just explode....ahh those were the days.

Not so much as broken, just not in the game as far as im aware (PC).
Theres a few options oddly missing that i would expect within a patch or 2. Brightness, FOV(?) HDR, DLSS. All will be modded in for sure before BGS get their act together ( or have been already).

What background and traits did everyone go with?
Background:
Bounty Hunter
It has pilot skill and boost pack training. I really considered Long Hauler but boost pack training seems like something I will want as soon as possible.
Traits:
Dreamhouse
Kid Stuff
Hero Worshipped
They seem like traits that will offer unique game content.

I went with Space Scoundrel (or something similar) and then picked two traits: Neon Street Rat & Wanted.

As far as I can tell your starting background perks really don’t matter? Like first level up I just took the boost pack anyway. I chose Diplomat.

I was watching Dr. Disrespect stream it. He gets to the identity part of the character creator and he sees "He/Him" on there that is mandatory and isn't optional and he just stops and stares at the screen with this disgusted face for like 2 minutes. Then he's like hold on a second. He looks up Bethesda's publishing head and sees "He/Him" in his bio and he's like now it all makes sense.

I used the crafting thingamajig on the ship but I did not have any crafting materials. I loaded myself up with everything not nailed down at the begginning. I might have to transfer all my crap to a storage thing onboard ship first.

I've only played a couple hours but I agree. I knew going in this wasn't going to be NMS level of exploration so I had my expectations in check. But the system that is there currently is just straight up bad. Clicking a planet to travel to, okay, then it puts you in the same system that again makes you click on it to land, what? If they knew beforehand they weren't going to have a deep level of exploration they should have literally just copied ME2 where once you travel to the system you navigate a small replica of your ship towards the actual planet you wish to land on, that would have been a million times better than what we got here.
They could have even taken it a step further and when navigating the small ship you can have random space battle encounters similar to old style FF games. Or just let us pick a landing spot regardless where we are currently and play a fancy loading screen dumping us off at the new planet. If this was a small team of new developers taking a stab at a space RPG I could forgive some of the nonsensical decisions, but this is a major AAA studio that should know better.

Same, had to use console commands to be alive because of a ticking bomb in dead money.
Worse DLC of that game by far.

Why does that bother anyone? You always choose genders in character creators.I was watching Dr. Disrespect stream it.

played it a bit on lunch break (PC). looks so good, enjoying it so far. Feels like this is going to be quite a fun ride.

Probably because it's "He/Him" instead of male or female. Both accomplish the same thing. It's using flag waving lingo. People can hate it or not hate it as much as they want, but I don't think there's any denying it was purposely put there to pander.

I'm not saying that it's a bad game, it just needs graphical setting options. The blurring isn't so bad indoors as it is outdoors.
I'm taking it they used FSR 2.0 as the solution. I just want to lower the res to 1440P. It would run so much smoother.

I bought the upgrade, I doubt I will renew Gamepass when my subscription expires in May of 2025. Ibought the ultimate upgrade because I have a 3 day weekend coming up and it's the perfect time for me to play.
As much as I hate on MS, Starfield seems like a legit good product and I want to support legit good products.

The actual reason I decided to go in was because they closed the office early today and Inwould rather take a day where I would have had to be there all day.

You need to flag them as Favorites with "B" and put them on a hotkey....On PC, you then can access them afterwards either by holding Q or tapping the hotkey.

People can only get early access if they ordered the 100$ premium edition or through GPU codes, and this is only accounting for Steam version of the game, not Xbox.
Be interesting to see if it can get close to or surpass Baldur's Gate 3 numbers.
But what would be even interesting to see is how many GP subs and Xbox units it can move.

PC mods are more creative than the "creative" version, so many mods within the first 24 hours:
www.nexusmods.com
Remove Planetary Tile Boundary
Disables the boundary at the border of planetary tiles. Lets you wander around some more.Add to the Documents\My Games\Starfield folder, or merge with your existing StarfieldCustom.ini

Insane numbers for an Early Access launch that's also competing with Gamepass. Bethesda never misses.

Also, gamepass... that must mess with these numbers somewhat

Game Pass on PC is a non entity as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think anyone thought its performance on Steam would suffer.
If anything it’s the contrary. On GAF people know that Steam users will cough up. Sea of Thieves sold 5m on Steam in 12-18 months.
On topic. That’s a hugely impressive figure. Game will sell 10m on Steam within a year IMO.

On PC they are, console doesn't have an ETA, or if they even will allow it at all. A lot of the PC mods are pretty extensive and simply wouldn't work on console.

It'll be interesting how the conversation might change if it does go on to sell an insane amount of copies, especially if that number is way above those playing on Gamepass.
