Its on Game Pass, Todd. If it doesn't run well I'll just not play Skyrim-Space Edition.
My partner who is interested has a PS5 and an older PC. If her PC doesn't run it, she'll probably just keep playing Stardew Valley. Honestly it's not like anyone is going to really be talking about Starfield in a month or two except ridiculous ship builds on social media.
I bought a new PC just to play Starfield (and BG3 with less issues).
It looks alright overall. But it's pretty crazy that even 30xx cards can't run it well (I had a 1070 though).
I did a CPU/mobo/RAM upgrade for it -- but I was quite overdue.
That's the thing. It looks alright, but it's not the next-gen beauty fest that they want people to think it is. Plenty look better and run better. I enjoy the game, but the whole argument that it's a graphical standout doesn't really hold water.
I read this Todd like John Conner says it in T2. "She's not my mother, Todd."
