There are so many half-built bases and camps it's an eye-sore. It would be better if I could only see my camp and base and everyone else's do not render for me—just an idea.

Looks and plays like a cheaply made indie game. The game lacks depth and needs a UI overhaul. The game world feels empty. Back to Tarkov! Refunded!

OK, Bethesda, you did it with Fallout 76 now you can do it with Starfield. It would help if you made some serious improvements. For a start, play some No Man's Sky. This will show you what interesting planet exploration is and also add the ability to warp to planets in space, not just load them. Having deeper space exploration is important IMO. Play some Elite Dangerous and see how fun exploring space can be. It's frustrating that people making games these days seem to have no actual experience with PLAYING games. They have coding skills, but no idea of what makes a game fun and engaging. I'm available for consultation ;)

EPIC!!!

In space, no one can hear you shart! I 100% Recommend taking spare undies.

If you like fallout 3 and New Vegas, you will enjoy Fallout 76. It has come a long way since its initial rocky release. There are plenty of quests and daily missions to undertake, and if you have friends, they can join your game too. I don't like how they have locked off specific game modes behind a very expensive monthly subscription, though. I think that needs to go. I'd understand if the game were free to play; however, it is not. The world is large, with many interesting locations to explore and various enemies to tackle. The combat is OK, although I personally do not like how the VATS targeting system works. It was much more enjoyable in FO3 and NV, IMO. It's a shame they cannot add that system into Fallout 76. Bethesda could also make a high-resolution texture pack, as the graphics are a little blurry and lack definition. The fact that they currently have around 13 Million players, a good portion of which will be paying the £11.99 a month subscription means Bethesda is making Millions of pounds a month off of the subscription service alone. They need to invest that back into quality-of-life improvements, some of which I have mentioned. Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there and explore the wastes of Fallout 76! Good luck.

DX11 for less stutter

It's a shame about the bad optimisation. You pay £70 for a game that runs like crap. However, the story, acting and atmosphere are all there. Once the game is optimised, it will be a killer experience.

I found a potential fix for the stuttering, try this https://youtu.be/2JXSbpzGiRQ

Dice lost me after Battlefield 4! It was downhill from there. This game does not feel like a battlefield game to me. It's pretty crap.

The game is laughable. The idea is there, but a velociraptor shouldn't have to bite a chicken more than seven times for it to die. Or, in most instances, run off into some bush. Goats run too fast and seem to have unlimited stamina. How long has this game been out? Years. You would have thought it would be better after all this time. The graphics are not great either due to the render distance being short. The jungle areas look OK, but the performance isn't great, with lots of frame drops. Survival works in other games; you need to build bases and keep warm.; Not here, the nest option does not work, and all there is to do is look for food, which usually runs faster than you, and you can't catch it anyway. It got boring after an hour. There is more frustration in this game than fun. I cannot recommend it at this time.
