Cohh made a video about this, because he got the very same advice that you just gave. it ruined his playthrough and after hearing his reasons, I know that it would have ruined mine as well. so I would be very careful about this, it definitely depends on how you personally like to play and enjoy RPGs.

it does, doesn’t it? I can’t check it right now but I’m certain I can rotate all directions (on Xbox with controller).

the preload started yesterday and people have been datamining.

this is from the AMD website, so it IS in fact an advert for AMD. I wouldn’t take it too seriously… they don’t even specify the fps target.

It just confuses me a little this happens to a game that is being waited for so badly. If they would be confident to successfully sell their game to end users, they wouldn’t need to force it on AMDs customers.

that’s true. i think there are two sides to it. on the one hand, there are also a lot of people upgrading their system specifically for Starfield… for those people, a Ryzen CPU/GPU gets a lot more attractive if the game they are building their new rig for comes with it and you save those 70 bucks. on the other hand, Bethesda and AMD make a big deal out of their “technological partnership” for this game, so it only seems logical to also have the game bundled with AMD hardware.

that’s a pretty weird take. just because other games that came with AMD were bad, doesn’t mean all of them are. Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Last Of Us Part 1, Uncharted, Far Cry 6, Deathloop, Borderlands 3, The Outer Worlds… none of those are bad games. i think game bundles just represent the general gaming experience. some games are good, some are bad. but just because a game comes in a bundle, doesn’t automatically mean that it will suck.
