Beware: Shroud is streaming with false advertising and sponsorship.

[Astronaute]

In the stream, it is stated "BUY PREMIUM EDITION TO PLAY NOW" it gives false impression that buying the premium edition grants you immediate access to the game. This kind of approach should not be tolerated within the gaming community.

Furthermore, upon watching the stream, you will notice that the state of the game is less than satisfactory. NPCs appear boring and lifeless, the world seems empty, and combat is uninteresting, slow, and static. The visuals even resemble those from the 90s.

I requested a refund due to the false advertising present in Shroud's stream. It's evident that he is not addressing any issues, as he is being compensated to mislead his audience. Unfortunately, this process has led to the loss of a loyal subscriber. I can only hope that he received adequate compensation for the damage caused to his reputation.

Exercise prudence: consider obtaining a refund and waiting until the game is actually launched (or, more realistically, you might even decide against purchasing it).

I know you're telling me a story. Because I've watched footage in game reviews.

I've seen the NPCs walking around. Dealing with each other, etc. The only 'not moving around' issue with the NPCS is that when you talk to them, they stand there and talk back instead of wandering off. And that's not a real issue.

Space is empty. Deserted planets are empty. Cities are teaming. Just like IRL. Deal with it.

I've seen the combat. It's not a combat-level game, but for CRPG it's prettyy cool. Enemies are SMART. They use grenades properly. Cover. The fight from effective ranges depending on weapon types. They move.

The visuals definitely do not resemble the 1990s. Until then you might of fooled some people. But you blew it by reaching too far. This is 1990s:

You're on an awfully tall, one-sided high-horse there.

And I'm not discounting what's gone on with UE5. It's certainly crushing Unity. But I'm not sure you're presenting reality as it is vs how you want it to be.

Please do not trust me or anyone, use your eyes and watch a UE5 demo on Youtube, and then watch one of the streams live right now demonstrating the (in)abilities of Starfield’s engine.

I don’t need to know anything about those engines, I just need to use my eyes to see the obvious difference.

eyes? im out

Can't stand Shroud, never purchased Sea of thieves because of him.
Known hacker in my opinion that only got popular by using hacks.

the best part about Starfield is it's single player. after it's out i wont have to even "pretend acknowledge" any of you exist. im so Done after the last few years of insanity. just want to disappear into the black of a space game that actually looks like something id want to play.

i dont know if it will be any good. but it sure looks like it will.
