It didn't run great for me. That's on 5800x with a 4080. Devs really don't seem to give a toss any more. Throw out some shite and 'fix' it later. Oddly a mate with a very similar setup had no problems. It's random.

AAA is all so identikit these day's that they all just blend into one. Look at this Redfall for example, generic shite with garbage performance on PC.

I'd say it's evens that Starfield will be a massive dud on arrival.

Have you played Redfall yet? I was going to give it a go at some point as it's on gamepass but the reviews aren't exactly promising!
 
Like any modern AAA game it's rushed and unfinished almost as though a deadline had been hit without a game being finished or polished.

That appears to be the norm these days, it's ok, the public will find the bugs...

Starfield has been put back, a lot...so hopefully...

Yeah it does seem to happen with a lot of releases now, pretty shit!

Thankfully I've had no issues with Star Wars on the Xbox but there's loads of issues on PC apparently (and that was after putting the original release date back!)

See my post above re: Redfall.

By all accounts (literally every review I have seen, which is about 10 at this point), it is horrible in pretty much every way. So bad, it can’t even be patched to be good like one that is simply buggy and unfinished (a la Cyberpunk 2077).

Everything I have seen and read has basically said they don’t understand how such a respected developer like Arcane would make, much less release a game like this.

Downloaded it. Played it for an hour. Uninstalled it.

It's an absolute and utter broken mess.

The AI is completely broken, graphics look like they are from the 360, PS2 era

The world is empty, even the UI is shit. Absolutely unforgivable that Microsoft and a AAA studio in Arkane and publisher Bethesda could release a game like this in this state. This is a £70 game. Glad I've got gamepass

This is a studio which made the fantastic Dishonoured series and the brilliant Prey. How they could make a game this shit AND Microsoft release it in this state is laughable and this is only 1 of 3 Xbox exclusives this year.

Forza Motorsport will be good as they always are but the next exclusive is Starfield which has already been delayed by nearly a year and a lot of gamers (myself included) are now worried about that game and what state it'll be released in

Starfield is the only reason I bought my new Acer Nitro, as I can still play games from my care setup right now, thankfully.

But between this and Fallout 76 (I am a massive Besthesda fan and have played all of the ES and Fallout series except 76), I am also quite worried it is going to be shite.

Apparently they are. Turn 10 studios has said they are going back to their roots with this and making it a proper racing Sim like GT.

It looks amazing. 60/120fps 4K full ray tracing support on console.

Yeah I gave it a go and although it wasn't that buggy for me (surprisingly), it was proper boring so I won't be going on it again!
 
Played red fall on my series x what a terrible game graphics,look dull gameplay boring and the dead zone on controls if horrific glad game pass lets you play these games without wasting 50+ pounds on them

In Fifa 23 (Steam) is there any way I could add some custom City songs (mp3) in a folder so the game plays them randomly during games, besides the default City chants?

Unfortunately, no. Up until around FIFA 18 there was a way to do so by replacing a music package buried in the FIFA program root directory.

But they’ve now made the music an effectively proprietary compression format and integrated it in to the sound and gameplay package, meaning you’d have to convert the music to the proprietary format, decompile the package, find the music stack, replace it with a functionally identical code stack (so it would execute properly in game), recompile, and replace in the game executable.

Real bummer that, thanks. I remember looking for clips with clean sound on youtube for this purpose, must have been a decade ago, but I don't remember if I succeeded then. I'm not complaining though, after skipping Fifa a few years I kind of like the progress they made with fans animations, chants, flags, the poznan, etc.
