It wasn't exactly the most advanced graphics in 2011, but the creative work done on Skyrim has been remarkable. Starfield's visuals aren't impressive technically, yet it offers a compelling art style that encourages me to switch to photo mode—a feature I rarely use. The look feels more like Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, which aligns with my belief that Bethesda may have adapted elements from the Id Tech engine in their latest Creation update.
He has some valid points. Performance tends to improve with updates and driver fixes, especially after new AAA titles are released. If developers like No Man Sky and Cyberpunk address their issues, it should resolve the problems. With my setup—R5 5800x and RX 6800xt on a 1+ year-old PC—I’ve stayed mostly unaffected. My FPS isn’t top-notch at 3440x1440, but it’s decent outside and around 80 indoors. More frustration comes from gameplay choices than from low frame rates. The carrying capacity feels limited, and I’d love to explore planets freely.
When you ignore modern hardware, people complain; when you embrace it, they praise. The visuals aren't terrible with a decent setup, but the performance really depends on your CPU. Achieving 60-70+ frames per second at 1080p demands a current processor. Also, the screenshots I've noticed criticizing graphics often show FSR still active at high resolutions. Don't rely on FSR for 1080p!
