Fair warning to anyone considering Starfield. The performance of this game is absolute crap. (hexbear.net)

It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.

It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It's a piece of crap.

Glad I didn't pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴‍☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.

I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I'm so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.

Honestly, I don’t know why anyone is surprised by Bethesda being crappy anymore

probably because people expected better from them now that they're taken over by microsoft?

I don't expect better from them but it's worse than I ever expected. It's such a painful reminder that Fromsoftware are (currently) a beacon within the industry putting out unbelievably above expectations games that both look and run flawlessly.

I know people here don't like things like not being able to pause and whatever in souls but putting that aside their games are some of the only games that just consistently meet what I expect a game to actually be and not piss me off as a basic part of the package.

I think that's the main problem I have at the moment with games, a game should not piss off the person that paid for it with terrible performance or pieces carved out of it to sell bit by bit, and yet almost every god damn game pisses me off with some bullshit, all of which fromsoft never do.

Koei Tecmo games sit at the exact opposite end of the spectrum for me because while I mechanically love a lot of their published/developed games (recently Wild Hearts and Wo Long) the performance is so abysmal that I've just written off the studio until hardware comes out that's 2-3 generations ahead of whatever their latest releases are.

It's a shame because I think they've got fairly interesting takes on a lot of genres with some pretty fun moment-to-moment gameplay, but it's just such a shame that their recent PC releases have been performance nightmares.

I don't think I've ever seen a game run as poorly at the level of fidelity as Wild Hearts and it sucks because that game would be so good.
