  None of this really sounds interesting enough for me to come back. I think I’ll just wait until the expansion comes out to come back

    Same. The mind bending decision to jump into New Game+ and the game removes all of your settlements & ships makes the whole building aspect pointless to me.

      Yeah it’s a weird design choice. I get the impression Bethesda has slowly lost a sense of why people love their games.

  Price is still too high for me, the waiting game continue.

    Got my copy for free with a GPU purchase, still don’t play it though, it was very blah at first and my poor rig can only hit like 25 fps at minimum settings, I’m still running a GTX 1060

    (The GPU purchase was not for me but I was allowed to keep the free copy of the game from it)

  They need a Cyberpunk 2077/ No man’s sky level overhaul and that simply won’t happen.

  In Cyberpunk’s case, CDPR within months of the terrible launch, had a clear vision of what they want to fix and how they want their game to feel in 2.0. They gave us a roadmap and plenty of updates and they delivered on what they promised with an incredible 2.0 release and DLC, that honestly propelled the game into my top 10 of all time.

  No man’s sky basically released a new game in the decrepit shell of their initial release. Multiple decent DLC’s later and it’s one of the best success stories in gaming history.

  With their Elden Ring title on the horizon, there’s no way Bethesda is going to devote so many resources to fix a broken game. They also promised that Starfield will run in a new engine following backlash when they said it’ll run on the same one. There’s very little confidence now in Bethesda that their next game won’t be a buggy mess. Fallout 4 sucked until mods fixed the game. Starfield sucks to this day and their next title probably already has significant development done to it that they likely can’t scrap lol.

  If they honestly thought this patch would bring people back, then they’re as deluded as the diablo 4 devs are

    No they didn’t.

  looked at ship/base customization but what I really want is an easy mode for bases. im just not into building them but I want them.

  Improved performance?! Like actually?

    That’s like “resisting arrest”. They throw it in for free.

    There probably are some improvements, but most likely due to programmers fixing up things they come across as they add features. Maybe a couple profiled hogs were worked on. But unlikely an actual “performance patch” kind of patch.

    And the article only mentions Xbox.
