Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

  • Exactly! Now go tell Todd that his game isn't real and therefor his example "astronauts on the moon weren't bored although the moon is dull" doesn't make any sense.

    It's like you're getting there without actually ever getting there.

  • It's a reason why the astronauts weren't bored on the moon. The fear of death. Games don't have that and that is one of the reasons games need to be interesting and can't be dull like the moon. I'll just rephrase the same thing over and over for you. I do see some things may appear challenging to understand for some.

    Read the title of the article and you may be able to piece things together: Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

  • Dude... You're even agreeing with me without realizing it. My point is, because a game can't create tension by threatening you with real death, it needs to be interesting in some way.

  • You do know this threat is about some dev saying the first guys on the moon weren't bored although there's basically just sand and rocks to be found? And that because of this it's fine most planets in a game are baren and uninteresting?

    The Bethesda guy compared the game to RL. I am just pointing out why this makes no sense.

  • No shit? That was the point

    Astronauts aren't bored in space because they're busy trying not to die. games don't kill you when you fuck up or something goes wrong

  • IRL the stakes are a little higher, don't you think?

  • I am kinda certain no game has dying. I haven't died in any yet. Although I remember a piece of The Onion of a suicide feature of a car seat. Maybe someone should build a gaming chair with this feature to improve the immersion.

  • In RL most of the "excitement" in space comes from not wanting to fuck up and die. Games don't have that, Todd.

  • Yeah I've no idea why they allowed him to pose for the shot. It should be stand straight and head leveled. Instead he's doing his strongman serious pose to sell it later.

    • Germany set to miss net zero by 2045 target as climate efforts falter

  • Germany isn't failing its climate goals because of getting rid of nuclear power. In 2018 6,3% of our energy (not just electricity) came from nuclear power. May all the nuclear chills please kindly stfu?

    Letting those few remaining nuclear power plants stay active for another few years would've done jack shit. We're failing because of shortcomings in many sectors. The worst offenders currently are housing (~25% of total CO2 emissions) and transportation (19%).

  • Portal RTX was "easy" for your 2060? I remember having to set DLSS to ultra performance at 1080p to get it above 30fps on a 2060s.

    That's 640x360 internal render resolution. Around 1/10 pixels of 1080p

  • The cool thing about raytracing is it doesn't really matter how complex a scene is. The bad thing about raytracing is it doesn't really matter how complex a scene is.

    If your card can't run remixed HL2, it also won't be able to do HL1
