Beautiful game when it wants to be.

If you want to really cheese your way through it, make an L shaped ship! Enemies always aim for the geometric center so they'll always miss if you're facing them head on with a ship shaped like this.

Also highly recommend EMP weapons. They're short range but REALLY good at disabling enemy engines and all their other systems too. You can render enemies completely harmless then board their ship, or just blow them up while they sit there helpless.

That gives a new meaning to "enemies getting the L"...

Smug prick

I do like that jacket though...

That's literally everyone's mental process when we decide to spare or fight motherfuckers...

 

[Elder Legend]

havent played a space game in a while so can anyone help me decide between:

dead space 3
starfield
NMS
the outer worlds
jedi survivor
other - name it


im kinda leaning DS3 over starfield...

Troll post is troll.

 

[GymWolf]

Can I get some views on what difficulty to play this on?

I find the majority of games to be very easy on normal these days.

Very hard, and it is still a cakewalk 90% of times except at the beginning in spaceship fights 3vs1.

Anything below that and you can basically let your dog play and just watch him.

Very hard is basically normal.

My ships are getting so big I’m starting to get lost in them.

My ships are getting so big I’m starting to get lost in them.

I boarded a ship that was on a random planet last night, I got lost in it. It was 3 levels, each one of them was huge.

 

[Last Hearth]

Have any of you guys run into these? They're basically Geico ships. Telling me my "ship warranty" is about to expire and offering me all of these different level "packages" of protection. Like what the fuck? No one ever told me about any ship warranties

It's happened twice to me so far. The second time it started pestering me I said fuck it and opened fire. The whole thing just seemed so shady lol And sure enough the ship bailed. I havent had any authorities on my ass for opening fire and I havent run into the ship since. So good

This is got to be the developers making fun of Star Citizen. That game sells you ships with warranties.

I literally had the same discussion yesterday but i was too distracted by how stupid mateo's hat look to even get mad with the harpies.

I hope the dude is bald underneath for maximum comedy effect.

You can tell just by looking at him that he's going to be the white soy dude who gets bossed around by the girlbosses

He looks like the dude who is gonna betray the group.

(I have no idea, this is not a spoiler)

It really reminds me of a character in anthem that does that...

i keep getting sexually harassed by barrett for some reason. he keeps saying "i've got something for you!" in a tone similar to how you would say to a child when you have candy for them. so then i talk to him to try and get it, but he doesn't actually have anything, just starts talking creepy about his old boyfriend or something, i only get an instant dialogue option to "flirt" with him.

He usually gaves me a gift when he say that.

He didn't tried to flirt since i ditched his boring ass after the mission with him.

Actually pretty sick, timed to the music like that. haha

The final missions of the UC quest line have some real fucked morale decisions, I'm legit sweating cause it looks like it'll change a huge scope of the universe.

I don't get why there is no option to just keep everything for yourself though..

- to tell the daughter the truth about Victus, she seemed to take it very well and kept it a secret from the cabinet too
- but blamed Orlais for the attacks and kept Victus's secret safe fro the cabinet
- for how to get rid of the terrormorphs, I used the mega fauna animals (forget the name), the microbes seem like they could be risky.

 

[dorkimoe]

Just starting and 30fps is just unacceptable to me. They had enough time from fallout 4 to this to be able to get 60fps…
Still can’t wait to get going though

 

[proandrad]

Played a little bit of the game last night. My initial thoughts are the controls and shooting feel really good so far, but the loading between space travel and landing on a planet is a let down. The game can look insane at times but the washed out colors ruin the presentation. Wish the game was 60fps on XSX but the 30 fps mode feels like some Nintendo witchcraft and actually feels smooth.

As the PC version shows its very CPU heavy.

A 1440p unlocked frame rate would be a god send for xbox VRR owners though don't understand why that's not an option at least.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

LOL I needed 40 sneak attacks to unlock sneak Lvl 4, and I just landed them all on the same enemy. Just found some high level fauna, crouched down, and unloaded on them at maximum range.

 

[gow3isben]

I’ve only played a few hours but I don’t get the complaints of the slow start?

Game feels amazing to me, way better than any of Bethesda’s previous titles. And I’m really hooked into the atmosphere, Bethesda really knows how to capture those feels in their games and they nailed it here.

Still a lot of stuff I need to learn before getting into a groove but this game seems superb to me.

I felt the same way about Cyperpunk and thought it was GOTY caliber in the beginning

Halfway through I stopped playing as gunplay was so boring

Hopefully that doesn’t happen here. The problem with these types of games is high risk of getting stale. Witcher was a rare exception.

Genius idea stealthing animals. Its quite a difficult perk to level up at the start.

 

[FoxMcChief]

There’s a flight simulator you can use to shoot down easy enemy starships, without the worry of damaging your own ship.

You can use this to level up your piloting skill.

 

[Punished Miku]

That's what I did as well. I got 2 sneak attacks in 30 hours. 2!

Then I found some animals and leveled up fully to max stealth in about an hour.

I would be fine at 1080 just give me the 60fps!

Game crashed on first mission ;(

 

[Chuck Berry]

 

[FoxMcChief]

Killing animals is a great way to level up. Just on Jemison (New Atlantis planet) there are tons of creatures to kill for XP or to boost your skill goals.

The first and only mod I used is custom luts on pc, the green tint is way too much.. oh sorry I lied , also fov adjust to not throw up yesterday breakfast

I wasn’t even trying to game the system.

Where I did it (minor faction spoiler):

Spoiler

UC Vanguard mission where you have to track down a certain character and you find out they’re out hunting a Siren. On the way to the quest marker I spotted a couple sirens in the distance and tried to take them down at range, only to find out they have an absolute shitload of HP

 

[Topher]

Unless there is something this already and I missed it, one thing I would like to see in the future either in an update or a mod is the ability to create a ship building project. What I mean is something I can save and come back to later. It really sucks having to start and finish a ship build in one go and what if I don't have all the funds for what I want to do? I have to get the credits and then start over. Kind of limits your creativity, imo.

OH. That quest, I got it confused with a different quest.

Spoiler

I thought you were talking about the UC vs Crimson Fleet double agent side quest. I ratted oit Victus, guy was a cunt

 

[T-Cake]

Where are you supposed to get digipicks from? I can't believe they have a main quest part that requires you to have them before you can proceed.

 

[Topher]

I’ve got dozens of them from just scavenging. Look around. There’s probably one in a container or on a shelf.

 

[Punished Miku]

Where are you supposed to get digipicks from? I can't believe they have a main quest part that requires you to have them before you can proceed.

They're sold in virtually every store. Dirt cheap. Also laying around in basically any outpost. Every single store I visit I just buy their whole inventory which is usually like 100 credits total.

When you're searching outposts, keep your scanner on. They're small and easy to miss in the dark without the blue outline.

 

[clarky]

Most shops should have at least a few. Jemison Mercantile should have some if your still in New Atlantis.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Why do I feel like I owe those who don’t play the game an apology? Why can’t they fuck off and play the game they want instead of complaining about Starfield every minute!

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I decided to give the game a try. I knew this wasn't going to be a game for me from the start due to the lack of actual exploration, but I was curious.

I had glitches from the first minute. I was wondering why the lady in the elevator was talking to herself. Apparently, there is supposed to be another guy there with you. He didn't appear until we were already walking through the mine. The lady also teleported through the elevator door.

The graphics also look poor on anything lower than "high" settings. My PC was running at around 60fps on medium and 40fps on high in the outdoor areas.

Once I got into the gunfight with the pirates, that was enough for me. I didn't really enjoy starting this game by shooting other humans. It felt... wrong. It''s like... the future of humanity and we are still using pistols to shoot strangers?

Bonus rant: Why is my walking speed a run compared to everyone else?

I am officially going to fuck off. Enjoy the game, homies.

Just block it. Easy. You have the power to be moderator of the entire site.

Another useful tip: when selecting an amount of something ie you want to send 10 rounds out of 2000 to a follower: instead of using the stick to select the amount, tap LB or RB (higher lower) to do it in larger increments.

 

[Freeman76]

I take it they didnt bother with adding a database with info about the various factions etc?

 

[Punished Miku]

No, and it's the main thing I'd request they add some day is a large database for terminology, history, and scanned things. A pokedex.

You sound like you are having a bad day. DM me, we can speak about your troubles. No need to take the easy way out friend.

A related tip: your follower doesn’t consume ammo, they just need to have a single round for whatever weapon they have equipped.

Same goes for grenades.

 

[Freeman76]

Considering the massive development time this game seems a little sparse in some areas. No descriptions on weapons, no database, not much depth to the outposts or much reason to build them at all. Still enjoying it but expected something a lot more complex

 

[FunkMiller]

Yeah, this game is starting to cook for me now. Went on a great side quest from a note found on a spacer, and ended up with two great suits and a much better ship, then did the first vanguard quest line with the tyrannid - sorry, terramorph.
