Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

    I’m boycotting it because I’m not a fan of 16-28 FPS and I don’t have a $5000 PC to actually run it.

      Weirdly, the worst frame drops are in the cut scenes.

      When you’re in New Atlantis, taking mass transit anywhere, the train pulls out of the station at a good 5-10 fps.

        It’s because the cut scenes are also loading screens so they actually have a lot going on. I’ve been playing on xbox series x and it runs as well as you’d expect on a console, so not really complaining there. I’m having fun at least, j7st need to keep away from all the negativity surrounding the game.

          You would think that, for a static loading screen, that’s the same every time, it would just be a video clip and not generated live, in engine.

      I’m easily running it on a 2 year old 1200€ laptop.

      A desktop that can run it would be closer to 800€

        Mine is about 5 years old with a ryzen 5/ GTX 2080 and a hard drive that spins. I’ll upgrade it at some point, but not to play one game. No Man’s Sky works quite well on my rig.
