I got a good amount of playtime out of it, but only because I used mods and had fun installing texture packs and stuff. Also the Luma HDR mod was some of the best HDR I have ever seen. It made the game absolutely beautiful on an OLED monitor. I spent a lot of time just flying around to different planets and cities and just looking at the HDR presentation, taking screenshots.

That being said, yea, the game sucks. At the best it’s very mediocre. I definitely don’t think it’s worth $70.

It’s not surprising that you’re going to find Bethesda bootlickers on a starfield subreddit though. Not sure what you expected? Every game subreddit is like that.

Exception to the rule.

I refuse to read ANY articles that include the word “Slam.”

“The Writer” is most likely chatgpt. Pretty sure most of these low effort shit gaming/movie articles are AI written at this point.

Sure. It’s probably like 20% cheaper with much less functionality, like none to little customization/modding, and gives an inferior HDR presentation. But it’s cheaper yes. so your point is proven, but it’s badly wounded.

Eh I’m not sure I really do agree on the cost. Because like you need to add another $400 onto the ps5 cost for 5 years worth of online fees to pay miltiplayer (assuming they don’t raise prices in 5 years, which they most definitely will) so now you’re up about $1K USD or more. I just used 5 years of fees since i figured new consoles come out every 5ish years. Could even be longer. No one seems to factor this in when describing console prices. Rember, there are NO online fees with PC (unless it’s a MMO with a subsciption fee or something but 99% games do not charge for online play.)

Also again, remember that a ps5 is a low-mid range PC. I think you can build a low-mid range PC for $1k or a bit higher, (crazy how expensive it is these days. $1k used to be a high end PC lol.)

Lastly, you’ll need to buy another controller for ps5 probably. So that’s another $50 or $60 or whatever the hell they cost these days. Maybe even a headset/microphone - not sure if those come with the ps5.

A comparable PC is probably still more expensive, but not really by that much…

Do you see what I’m saying now?

Yea fair enough. That’s a completely valid point.

But game pass is available on PC too… Are you not understanding that?

I guess I see your argument? I don’t really agree though - read my other comments.

I don’t understand this at all. You can get game pass or something on PC as well. That isn’t a console only benefit.

That’s not really a fair comparison though. The ps5 has nowhere near the gpu power of a 4070. The PS5 is equal to like a low-mid range PC. Also console players are paying yearly subscription fees to play multiplayer. Plus you can think of the display as a cost as well. You need a monitor or TV, just like a PC. PC is likely more expensive overall, but not by as much as people think. Plus PC gives you so many perks over consoles. So you’re getting a ton more functionality for your money. It’s really not a HUGE DEAL to get a console once you factor these things in. Deal, sure. But not a huge deal.

This happens on every single online community, not just Reddit, fyi.

Well I think it could lead into that. But fair enough.

Yea I’m not married to the Andromeda storyline either.

I personally think a mass effect prequel game about the first contact war (or whatever the war was between the humans and the Turians) would be the most interesting.

Mass Effect. Either abandon/re-do the Andromeda storyline.

Edit: Spelling

Having HL:A Alyx be VR was super cool. The game was so immersive and for a while afterwards, I was convinced that any furure HL game had to be VR. Then the novelty wore off and the VR market basically is basically dead. Now I’m excited for another flat screen HL game.

Agreed. It’s just very mediocre. Luma HDR mod is absolutely beautiful though, and I recommend it for anyone with a HDR monitor. It makes the game look absolutely stunning. It’s basically the only reason I played it lol.

No. OP is a clown. Look at his replies in one of the RDR2 threads.
