Starfield

Skybird · 08-24-23, 06:19 PM

Time to board the hype train.

Septembre 6th.

I like the narration: "The wonder is not that the field of stars is so vast - but that we have measured it." Thats as good, maybe even better, than the LOTR's famous quote "History became legend, legend became myth."

Maybe this can become what No Man's Sky wanted to be.

Yeah, I'll probably give it a try eventually. I expect something like Skyrim in outer space, LOL!

Men of War 2 will be out in September as well.

It's a Bethesda game. It will be full of bugs at launch, and only modders will make playing the game worthwhile - after about a year or so.

Skybird · 08-25-23, 02:15 PM

Oh NO...!
I did not know this: 125GB in size, okay BUT : SSD EXCLUSIVELY... And there Skybird crashlands hard on the ground...
I have a 256 SSD for windows and system, half of which is full, and software, user files, games are all on a 3TB HD.

This really hits me, I waited since over one year for this.

For all those who are luckier than me:

Oubaas · 08-25-23, 04:24 PM

LOL! Besthesda! I find myself playing more and more small indie titles. If a game takes up more than about 30 GB of disc space, I lose interest very quickly.

And SSD only? Ha! I have two big SSDs, but I'm not interested enough in Starfield to give it 125 GB on one of them.

The big studios believe their own hype. And their, "blockbuster" titles are usually underwhelming.

Maybe they should require that developers go to business school and accounting school before learning to program, so they don't make boneheaded decisions like releasing a bloated monster that requires an SSD.

I'll pass. There are plenty of great space titles that don't come with a pain in the ass, for much lower prices.

What shpuld I say, I am a Bethesda fanboy and never understood the many criticsms of them. Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 4 and to less degree Fallout 3 were highlights in my gamer biography. I just love these worlds.

Next year inb autumn my rig will be 7 years old, that is the highest age a computer ever has reached in my servioce, 7 years. I will not buy a new one just becasue of the timestamp, but if then it breaks and I need to buy new, it would not be so much a pain as if it broke down after 3 years. And I need to buy a certain beefiness, due to my love for VR whicbh is my travel window to the world. But one day a new rig is on order, and then Starfield will still be there.

But for the time being, this really depressed me today, a bit. I really was in joyful expectation.

Maybe I check whether I can plug in a third drive, and whether steam splits and distributes the steam game folder on HD and SSD as demanded by Starfield.

Well, I hope it works out for you, Skybird. If you've got a slot, adding an SSD is pretty easy and straightforward. And the prices have come down since the early days. I hope that you can find a way to play Starfield.

4 TB SSD by Samsung ridiculous 180 coins on German Amazon - did I read this right...???

I have really disconnected from the tech train it seems. With that I could migrate my half-filled 3TB HD completely.

I wonder if cloning from HD to SSD via Macrium Reflect is as simple as HD to HD, or knows hidden traps.

So, the last word on this annoying complication is not yet spoken.

les green01 · 08-27-23, 10:53 PM

wait for the mods to come out don't even know if i will play even then

Otto Harkaman · 08-28-23, 01:58 AM

I would get an xbox

Skybird · 08-28-23, 10:56 AM

Ordered a M.2 SSD, 2TB, (PCI 3, system is 6 years old). By factors faster than a SATA SSD. Think I identified where it goe sinto the slot on the mainboard, srews and work to do all should be predictable. Also learned how to tell Steam on installation to ask for the location where to install/store. I currently live by the expectation to be back in business with Starfield.

Easy peasy

Skybird · 08-29-23, 01:21 PM

I did not know the specific details, I have all games on an internal HD and was not sure you could tell steam to have two installation folders simultaneously. I never had a reason to research it.

Possible I move the Flight Simulator files on that SDD, too.
