Starfield’s Most Popular Mod Sparks Paywall Controversy, Immediately Gets Pirated

A mod adding support for Nvidia's latest upscaling tech gets locked behind a $5 subscription

Christopher251d ago

I'm a bit confused on the reporting. There's his mod on NexusMods, which you only need an account to download and install. Then there's this person's Patreon where they post earlier releases and tons of game mods of a similar nature. Are you cracking something that is already free via NexusMods or something else?

Eonjay249d ago

Gaming has some of the poorest quality reporting ever. There is also a chance that the author knows this and, as in a lot of cases, still reports the sensationalized news.

raWfodog249d ago (Edited 249d ago )

I believe that the one behind the paywall supports the latest DLSS3 tech. DLSS2 is the free one.

theindiearmy249d ago

The one on NexusMods is only DLSS2. The paid one on Patreon is DLSS3 and that's the one that's been cracked.

Modders are the true heroes and paying a small fee is a welcome imo. Companies should've had these features on day one and the game well optimized.

How Starfield Remains a Success Story In The Face of Failure

Expectations for Starfield were sky-high, and while many felt it fell short of them, raw sales and other statistics tell a different tale.

The stats can say anything, because they don't release the stuff that counts.

Scissorman6d ago

Agreed. I'd love to know the budget on this one to be honest. What was it? 6-8 years in development?

anast6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Howard said this game had been a concept for 25 years. Let that sink in.

TwoPicklesGood6d ago

I play it on Steam and it’s phenomenal.

Flewid6386d ago

I have it on GamePass PC and I have yet to encounter a single wow moment.

Vits6d ago

The ship building is kinda cool... And that's about it. In all seriousness, I don't think it's a bad game, but violently mediocre with some really head-scratching choices that made me go "why" rather than "wow" more often than not.

DustMan6d ago

Same here. Not saying it's the best they've ever released, but the hate it gets is pretty absurd. I've been completely enjoying the 50 or so hours I've dropped into it.

Flewid6385d ago

To be fair, I have yet to play a single Bethesda game that I found enjoyable. The whole "talking to cardboard cutouts from the uncanny valley" thing is tolerable in games like Mass Effect, but it loses me completely in Bethesda titles.

Flewid6386d ago

Hunger is the best spice. lol.

I'll never forget advertised as an open world sandbox game but you run into invisible Star Trek barriers when exploring. GTA has never done that and neither has No Man's Sky. If people love this game good for them I am not touching it. And if Microsoft does say port this game to Playstation I am still not touching this game.

DustMan6d ago

I started playing a few weeks ago and am enjoying it thoroughly. Perfect, absolutely not. Yet it's nowhere near as bad as what people make it out to be. Plenty of quests to get side tracked with. The gunplay has been tightened up significantly in my opinion since Fallout 4. I originally listened to the online crowd absolutely crap on the game and made me curious to see if it was that bad. It's not. It's a good and fun game. It just didn't live up to the developer hype and peoples expectations. Which wouldn't be the first time Bethesda, or Microsoft promised the world, and gave us the moon.

I will say that the beginning few story missions really kind of drag, but once you unlock powers it picks up. I think that first few hours soured a lot of folks who left it behind before really digging in to it. Which is understandable.

jwillj2k46d ago

First few hours??? How about the first 130 hours according to the developers. Need to get past 130hrs to start enjoying the game.

That's when the Stockholm syndrome kicks in
