Now that we have a vehicle!

[MWH82]

Hope someone comes up with mods for it given its speed etc is very low, this is a universe that has military vehicles, as mentioned by one particular weapons dealer who lost his eye in one. Being able to upgrade the buggy, or buy different ones, as you can do with ships, would be good, or even build your own! It should also have a storage capacity, not everytone is going to be bringing Vasco so the area in the back should be convertible for anything you pick up.

You can hold shift for a boost in speed.

the game is a good as it is rated. a 5/10, at max for blind fans a 6/10.
all higher ratings are fake since release.
look at skyrim and fallout 4 - these games deserve their rating - starfield is still a pushed game and we know the real rating - 57.01% acceptance.

we will see in week or two if the buggy matters. so lets wait...
in my opinion skyrim and fallout4 are the much better bethesda games - even if nearly a decade older.

you're completely off topic, do you realize that ?

I know, but it still feels slow, would also love a vehicle/boarding bay for ships ala SSV Normandy instead of it just appearing beside the ship when you land.

you have a game and now a vehicle to do what?

Your posts are off topic, read OP again and do them a favor by deleting your posts

Regarding the 'slow' speed: Increasing the speed too much would probably result in stuttering or other artifacts due to having to render cells too quickly.

i just wanted to ask - does the speed of this buggy matter at all if you have not more to explore than before just faster ?

Of course it matters, it changes how you drive the vehicle

It's like asking if a new weapon matters if you face the same hostile npcs, of course it does

Adding explorable content is one thing, improving movement capabilities is an other. Both improve the experience

My character moves quicker while spamming the boost pack than the vehicle, it's so extremely slow. The vehicle's gun damage is also very weak and no way to upgrade it. Also the vehicle has gotten stuck in areas to the point where you can't move it anymore unless you reenter the planet.. The handling is very poor. Then there's the glitch that broke planet textures. Yes I fixed the glitch by verifying the cache and deleting a file in AppData/Local, but it happened twice now where I had to repeat the steps again to fix the planet texture bug...

People can't seriously be thinking the vehicle would be the saving grave for this game and after 12 months.. the "update" breaks a key aspect of the game that breaks immersion.

Where are NPC's and their vehicles? Only for the player? It's still laziness from a "AAA studio".

Actually there is a lot more now as the maps extend further, its just that it took people ages walking to get to these other areas so no one bothered, but speed is an issue, currently it has a golfcart speed basis, not actually much faster than running, only difference is that you wont run out of oxygen and constantly have to stop, particularily if you are carrying heavy loads.

Absolutely agree, thats why Im hoping the modders will fix it, and make it better, as they have with almost everything else. It took 15-16 rounds from the vehicle weapon to take down a terrormorph,, two to bring down an Alphaparrotraptor on jemison, both small, can do it with a hand full of rounds from my pistol, and the glitch for the planets is annoying.

I just cleared most of the pirates in an 'abandoned robotics factory' from the vehicle. Shot the fixed turret, then just sat on the landing pad as all the pirates and robots came to me. Wiped most of 'em out with the buggy weapon. 5 x baddies left inside buildings. Andreja was impressed.

I like the car. Easy to drive, it has a gun and boosters to speed up and jump with it. Having fun with it. In my opinion good job from developers. It even works on water like
an amphibian car.

The maps do not extend further. They still have the same amount of area to explore as when the game launched. I have tested it.

I'm not bashing the game though, I love it. But you are mistaken.

I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of modders that want to try their hands at conversions. I can see monster truck mods, pickup mods, Thomas mods, etc. Maybe even things like Supernatural's Impala or Dukes' General Lee Charger.

Also, my guess is the entire project was aided by the Rage devs at id. Seems very familiar in how it handles.

I support a speed increase, that would be my only critique. Minus that I think its outstanding and am impressed with it.
