Is the story very involved? I just got one ending in Book of Hours and I tired of reading

You can skip everything if you want. Story is presented mostly with a few seconds of dialogue before missions, just a voice over some static images of comms. Every now and again there are very short cutscenes. There's lore stuff to find on the missions, small stuff but neat. Multiple different endings depending on what missions you decide to go on (and some hidden stuff too, very fromsoftware)

As if Starfield is AAA. It looks like a game from 2005 lmao

Starfield looks like a game from 2005 because it's running on the same engine as Falskaar

Is Bethsheda even a AAA studio?
Probably closer to just a regular A studio like...I dunno Paradox if anything.

I think Skyrim is one of the best selling games of all time, does that qualify them?

So I was curious so I looked what makes a studio an AAA studio. Apparently the qualifications of being a AAA studio is actually much lower than I thought.
You just have to be a midsized company of over 100 employees that sells their games at full price price of 60/70 dollars and have a big budget for game creation.
So Bethesda is an AAA studio.

Also Tod's right. The exact same thing happened when Witcher 3 came out.
They developed it to technology standards that weren't really widely available yet.

You can for sure tell more than 24, but in competitive/online gaming higher frame rate means you have the opportunity to see the movement fractions of a second faster

That's actually a misconception, the human eye is limited to 480i and 24FPS.

It was this way with Elden Ring and Darktide as well. Darktide being more demanding as it's loading hundreds of models within frame. The amount of people shocked that their 5+ year setup couldnt handle it was laughable at best.

I can provide you info
When Crysis was released it was pretty well known for the fact that even top of the line gaming PC's couldn't run it on full ultra settings, IIRC it actually took a few years before a graphics card came out that it could run it smoothly on max settings

Lol SSD's have been incredibly cheap for the past decade. HDD's last a max of ~5-6yrs of regular use before they start lagging your entire computer. No excuse for not upgrading, tbh.

Nowadays they are almost the same price/TB as HDD's in low capacities. HDD's only start making sense in higher capacities like 8TB as large file storage.

Hard drives are still useful for storing large amounts of media that don't need to be quickly accessed on a regular basis. For example, my goon files work just fine on my 8tb hdd.

Yeah I'm more talking about boot drives. NAS drives still have a place. But there have been some recent advances in SSD's that make me think that SSD enclosures will start being economical in a few years.

Even with my RX 7900 XTX + 7800X3D at 1440p fps can tank well below 60 in busy areas like New Atlantis and Akila. Shit's not well optimized in the slightest. The graphics don't even look that good, either.

It's mostly okay for me with a 3080ti, but then again I'm targeting 1080p/60fps; importantly, I haven't had any problems in combat encounters. But there are still dips, most notably the area around The Lodge and the MAST building.
The game looks nice enough but the technology clearly dated. Strangest to me is that there are seemingly no real-time reflections, which considering the number of shiny surfaces in the game, is odd.
