Starfield

[john]

FPS games with no FOV slider should be illegal lmfao

It's such a basic, commonly expected feature. It's like having a game without a pause button or basic volume settings.

in every creation engine game to date they've had the option baked into their files
in skyrim u just type fov 90 in console
in starfield u go to my documents > games > starfield
make a file called StarfieldCustom.ini and put your fov settings there

it has to have something to do with the modelling surely; like how certain weapons will clip or you'll see the back of your arms with a high enough fov. i refuse to believe they just keep forgetting to do it, but in games like these especially with cramped interiors like skyrim dungeons or starfield boardings/space stations you CANT be this tunnelvisioned or you'll miss everything


setting posting aside heres the funniest GAMING MOMENT i've encountered so far

you could literally remove the feature to fly in space and just make the traveling between planets a click in the main menu

theres no purpose in flying in space or flying in general outside of the missions requiring you to do so

theres no purpose in walking to places once you have their fast travel unlocked in skyrim

its just a thing for if you want to do it

ur a silly goober. make complaints about something valid instead of being a cynic

damn, you got me there

almost like i suck at trying to put my disappointment in the flying system into words

ya true is ok to be disappointed but i'd default to rabid's argument for once

But I also used to play Elite Dangerous though and thank fuck I'm not expected to fly 30 mins IRL with no way to skip anything just to reach another planet lol

even if u think u want this, you dont. the instances bother people because as a concept they're limiting, but the truth is even if you could fly for 30 minutes straight to another planet you would use the gravdrive anyway

my disappointment isnt in flying from planet to planet

its moreso in terms of flying on the planet, like I want to explore not land, exit cockpit, wander around for ten minutes, then quick-skip into space again

then play no man's sky, the game that is about doing that

100% agree

the kind of people complaining that they can't explore 16 hours of lifeless, boring planetary surfaces are insane to me

 

[john]

i will say the lack of land-vehicles sucks
i get why when you instance you cant have in-atmosphere flight because you'll break the boundaries completely but theres no good reason not to have a little hoverbike or something. they've already got the tech for vehicles they could just repurpose it on a flat axis

Yeah cool I’ll just dive into the files and change it on my PS5

Oh wait, I can’t. Again, not having an FOV slider hard baked into the settings menu in-game is shameful

The fact that I have to open the files of my game and change things either there or in the console of my game is obscene

it just works

It just works bro I swear such a good game worth the asking price

ye i agree its retarded thats why i went on a tangent about how its already part of the game so why wouldnt they just do it

all in all though if you like oldschool bethesda games this is a good one
if you never liked skyrim or fallout 3/4 then you wont

I can’t be the only person who’s completely fine with 90 FOV and 60 FPS, right?

default is 70 until you edit it, personally i get nauseous so i changed it to 90

90-110 depending on game should be Industry standard

Nah; I mean I’ve played on the default FOV since day one and have no issues. It’d be nice if games had a slider but I don’t believe in enforcing industry standards for things that are (for most people) just arbitrary luxuries.

its already part of the game and the engine, not having a slider is pure bethsoft stone age think

Having a low FOV isn’t something about luxury

People can genuinely get dizzy from it

It’s a big strain on my eyes personally
