In fairness, that’s a super low bar to get over. And I say that as someone who loves Bethesda’s games

Unpacking, usually decrypting, is a function of CPU and storage speed. If either are lacking, it's going to be slow slow.

Counterintuitively, if you have extremely fast internet speeds (fiber, etc), it's almost always faster to download and install than it is to pre-download and then decrypt.

One thing I must say before I leave you for tonight, is that if you're playing on Steam and you've pre-loaded, do not restart your installation if you hit an 'unpacking' issue. Pre-loads need to 'un-zip' (for want of a more technical word) before they can be played, but if it's taking you a long time, it's probably a hardware issue. Starfield unpacking times will vary based on the speed and space on your drive, and you won't speed things up by starting over.

Based on VRAM utilization, I'm assuming 1080p with FSR on?

I’ve always gravitated away from “low health bonus” traits/items. Intentionally running around with low health just causes me unnecessary stress

Made it to new Atlantis, did a lot of poking around in the world so went pretty slow. Love it so far, the space flying is a little clunky at first.

Gamespot gave it a 7/10 too


Keep in mind, good or bad review, these are the same dickheads that hyped cyber punk for what felt like a decade and we all know how that turned out



Also keep in mind 7/10 is not a bad score. it would be considered "good" not excellent. im not defending that score as i havent played yet, but i find it hilarious people get in a tizzy because something doesn't get a 10/10.
