Fair warning to anyone considering Starfield. The performance of this game is absolute crap.
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.
Something performs badly at launch > people complain > eventually it gets fixed by devs or community > people forget and preorder the next version, or buy as soon as FOMO hits.
Unless it gets major press like 76, cyberpunk or no man sky, it won't matter much for the company, modern captalists don't think about the long run, they want a big bonus today, and don't give a shit if the company will be dead the next year.
Also, a lot of products have bad performance at launch, especially something that depends on optimizations that may not go well with different hardware. People can just calm down and wait for it to get stable.
