Just came here from reddit, making my first post. I played NMS last year for about 40hrs then kind of lost interest. Starfield looks a lot like NMS, but with a lot more content and action. Is anyone going to be trying it out?
It’s coming to gamepass, so it’s an easy yes for me
Then I’ll definitely be playing it. Didn’t realize it’ll be on gamepass, and I have it for Wondows. Niiiiice!
Hope leads me to excitement for this game.
Historical precedence reminds me that it will be over-hyped and under-delivered.
I am likely going to play it as I have played most of their games but I’m going to wait a bit. Not in a rush. Let some of the bugs get fixed. I just got back into NMS after not having a computer for the past 3 years. Game looks great on my new one. So much more to do than when I last played.
I’m cautiously optimistic gonna wait for reviews but knowin my dumbass I’ll end up buying it no matter what because its bethesda.
They do seem awfully similar…

That being said, I’ll be getting Starfield. I expect I’ll still play NMS from time to time. It’s the game I usually come back to between other games or when there’s a major update.
Yep! I’ll be adding Starfield to my rotation. It may or may not become my main game for a while. It all depends on how good and interesting it will be. So far, I like what I see!
I’m waiting to see what stance Bethesda takes on mods first. No Bethesda game is complete without mods, and if they force mtx for mods, then I don’t think I’ll buy it personally.
The pitch for Starfield seems to be Mass Effect inside an NMS-sized world. If they can pull it off, count me in. Assuming my system specs are up to the challenge.
Yes! After they work the bugs out. Works well, I still need to play Skyrim first.
I’ll wait for the reviews for Starfield before I decide if I purchase the game. Bethesda has a rocky history with new game launches, I usually wait at least 6 months before buying one of their games. So at least it will be patched enough to be playable without game breaking issues…
Hell yeah! I’d love to play No Man’s Skyrim
I definitely plan to, though probably not on day one. I have a feeling that it will probably be really buggy at first, both because it’s Bethesda, and because it looks really ambitious feature-wise, so will probably need a while iron out the worst bugs. Also I play on Linux, so will need to use the Proton compatibility layer which might not work perfectly at first.
I love NMS though, and have over 1600 hrs. in it. NMS has a charm, and aesthetic vibe that seems quite different to what I have seen of Starfield, so I don’t think it will replace NMS for me, I plan to play both.
Absolutely.
Yep, built a beast PC specifically to play NMS, gotta feed it some new meat at some point
does NMS take a beefy comp? ive played it on my slightly shit comp but thought it ran fine but just personally built a big beefy boy and wonder how much better it would look/play?
I haven’t built a PC in over 10 years so I may have gone a bit nuts with my specs. I figured if I was going to spend the money I wanted something that would last a while. I don’t think NMS requires a beefy PC but it certainly looks and runs awesome. I started on the Switch and quickly decided that I wanted a better experience so, being a huge nerd, I went the DIY PC route. Teleports/warps take seconds instead of minutes, terrain and bases load before I land rather than having to exit my ship and stand there while the door appears on the base I just landed at. Overall, I highly recommend the beefy PC for NMS.
I also just built a new computer and the experience has been so much better and smoother. Built the computer to run AI models so it can definitely max out NMS. Having a blast after not playing since the start of covid when my old computer died.
hmmmm
may have to DL and try it again on my new big boy
It runs great on a Steam Deck, even when using a higher-resolution external display, so I don’t think it needs anything really beefy. Though I’m sure you’d get better graphics.
