I’m glad we didn’t lose Mike in the hosting position with the new format. Keep crushing it SBM!
I have to say I've tuned out games broadcasting a lot over the last three years so I hadn't heard about the changes at KF before this episode popped up in my Home screen. This move away from system-specific material seems exactly right to me: I didn't like Greg/Blessing being on the "PS side" and Gary/Mike/Paris being on the "XBox side" so I'm sure that fielding the best team for the games under discussion will work well.
Paris is 200% right about this being received differently if it was multiplat, Greg has his head in the sand when it comes to this issue
I started this video right where Greg is Dad-Holding a little girl and l was CERTAIN... ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.. for way too long, that l had switched dimensions.
So glad to see gary and fam pop in for a bit. Made me nostalgic of the good Ole xcast days
Awesome moment!!
A ding dang heartwarming moment in the middle of Gamescast? How dare!
What is Parris his update Starfield Score? He said wait for the end but it never came
Love seeing Mike host
Thank you for the kind words and happy to be in the host seat and just be there! I’ll be back next time!!!
@@SnowBikeMikeYou're a legend Mike keep doing what you're doing. I have very fond memories of your streams when starfield launched
I absolutely dig the update - 60 fps + Quality mode on Series X alone is a game-changer. Couple that with the myriad of gameplay difficulty/QOL/survival options, improved surface map system, dialogue cam options, not to mention the ship interior designer...it's a fantastic patch. I imagine the summer patch and fall's Shattered Space expansion will continue this trajectory. Loving Starfield!
Yep, same here. I started a new save to be my essential save for Shattered Space and I am more hooked than my first playthrough. The base building and decorating is actually amazing. I barely touched the first go. Now I am all over that s**t
Mike is a great host
I dont think a Starfield 2.0 is needed but I do agree with Paris if they do, do it then they better knock it out of the park. The revamped skill tree of Cyberpunk fits it so well that I feel like thats how it should been and its amazing!
I hope they improve on the exploration aspects and more hand crafted side quests in the next update
Most definitely will. Probably not in the next update tho
Gary's daughter coming out with the oreos touched my heart
Much love to Mike and the crew. I wish we got more of a deep dive from him on his thoughts on Starfield as a whole. We got the 48hr stream and a mini section of his thoughts after that on an Xcast. But I wouldve liked him to really open up and talk about his full experience with the game after he finished it.
I’ll keep that in my back pocket! That’s on me for not making the time to share. The 48 hour stream really changed and created something different content wise for me that I never shared in typic fashion!
Great conversation gents. It’s nice to hear positive discussion from a big channel. 👏
What would bring me back is the land vehicles OR modded jet packs. I will definitely take both, but I need at least the vehicles to come back. I really like exploring, but I don't have the patience to just float through thousands of miles of empty planet. OR, maybe they could add more unique randomly generated structures that have interesting or good loot.
They would have to kill all the planets with no explicit reason to be there. Make it mass effect like.
They are both confirmed and are coming
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the changes and being able to customize my XP. I'm currently running at a +26% XP. Adding additional carry weight but also offsetting with ammo weight is totally good. The FOOD is the most important part for me. I would use food before just to consume on the fly in a dungeon... But now with food actually a viable part of the game, I'm super pumped to use the new features.
I do still experience significant frame rate drops on Series X (performance mode) in the 'busy' areas like New Atlantis and Akila... anyone else?
So you still cant get to keep all your spaceships and gear when you move to new game plus with this update?
This is KFG Vol. 3 Episode 12 (Episode 496 overall)
Can't decide if I wanna hop back in now with a new character for wait for Shattered Space
If you have pc, you can add the free 'camera mouse' software, and free/paid 'voice attack' software to make voice commands to play the game.
The updated maps are very interesting. As you move, so does the topography of the map until you reach a return barrier.
Long shot, but maybe they let you explore the whole surface of a planet without barriers in a future update?
Game is okay. It's a vast sandbox with decent gunplay and "okay" levels of writing. I have fun with it, and modders are already turning it into the Star Wars game we've always wanted but nobody will make.
Do you recommend 60 fps for visual on a 60z tv?
Rule of thumb is getting as many fps as you can get. TVs have a gimmick usually that insert a black frame every true frame so you would get 60+ fps on monitors or very high end TVs.
43:30 No offence but I don’t think the team at Bethesda is willing to do to Starfield with Shattered Space what CDPR did to Cyberpunk with Phantom Liberty.
They look very comfortable with what they do and doubling down on it.
CDPR instead was extremely humble and passionate and truly reworked everything they needed.
Despite its faults cyberpunk 2077 was a better game at its core than Starfield.
Depends. The Far Harbour DLC for Fallout 4 was a U-turn. It had a different writer and is generally seen as being well written and much better than the base game.
Story wise, yes. World wise, idk. I remember wishing cyberpunks world was bigger which wasn't a mistake with starfield@@aaronlc7948
I'm not sure what you're tlrrally getting at here conflating the two. CDPR needed to be humble after launch given how badly the game launched. Starfield is a totally different situation, it may not be universally loved, but it DID review very positively (even if it was a little lower than expected) and it does have alot of fans. Bethesda have always had a more slow and steady approach to improving their games over time. They don't need to just copy CDPRs overhaul, and that's fine.
Bethesda can’t fix core problems of Starfield, their tech is limited or have no skill.
As someone who initially was super hyped for Starfield, when it launched I played for a couple hours, had some issues, and paused. I said “y’know what, I’m gonna pause, and come back later when stuff is fixed/patched/upgraded etc.” and NOW I feel like I can go back, and have a much better and real experience. This update really adds a lot of great quality-of-life improvements that make it how it really should be played. Well done Bethesda 👍🏼 Thanks and keep upgrading!
I am getting 2 major bugs. 1: when I'm playing the mission "all that money can buy" when its time to find the buyer and your supposed to talk to stroud well the icon tells you to go to the bar owner instead of stroud well i cant even finish the game. 2: when i was on the mission for the crimson fleet, when you have to do the 3 to last mission on neon it tells you to go to the lounge instead it keeps telling me to go to my ship. i absolutely can not continue the mission AT ALL. Is anyone else dealing with these bugs? yes i have mods installed its two mods.
Bro I have 224 hours in that game and have not seen those red-eyed dudes😂
Go to Cyndonia :D
150 hours in since day 1, still absolutely loving this game. Can’t wait to see what Shattered Space brings. Will be perfect for a new game +
Its like a fever dream. Everything Greg says about Starfield is what 99% of people say about Red Dead 2, and what he says about Red Dead 2 is what 99% of people say about Starfield.
It's true but sometimes a game's setting and theme can either drag you in or push you out even though on paper it should be something you like.
Whoa
What you've just described is this wild concept know as "subjectivity" 😊
People can have differing experiences of the same thing! And no, in neither case is it actually 99%. Alot of people like Starfiled the way Greg does.
Everything Greg says about RDR2 is spot on.
I believe Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece that I will never touch again after finishing it. Starfield is a mess at times and I personally have fun going back to it every time.
Its crazy how the further back in time you go the better bethesda games get.
20:38 you cant make med packs in starfield. You can hope to get a med theft weapon and increase chances of med pack drops or increase wellness skill to max and have auto heal.
Someone should tell Greg,that you can't make your own medpacks
Its a masterpiece.....never change Bethesda
I don’t necessarily agree with the critics about “exploration” not being fun, I think they want a specific thing that is not being offered here, I will say the radiant quest (procedural encounters) could have more variety although I think the system they created for them is pretty good, still love this game though
Exploration for me is, I want to manufacture Vytinium Fuel Rods as an income source to upgrade ships and stockpile ammo; where are the best locations for the resources and locations for my manufacturing outposts? While I am here, what else is going on? Are there any pirate bases nearby that would be fun for a neighborly raid once and while and steal their ships? While I am here, lets do some planet surveying. I am going on a quest to this location, what is is going on in this area? Ships in orbit, sensor icons? My resource outpost is low on Nickel. I'll just go to this system that I have yet to visit and see what planets have copper and set up a temporary outpost to mine it. While I am here, what else does this planet have to offer?
I tried playing it like I would Skyrim and just go off hoping to experience things, but quickly began to find repeated POI's and a lot of running and boost packing. Basically I just go about my goals for my outposts, my character growth, acquiring and upgrading ships, mission boards, and easing my way into quests from the minor ones to the majors. I explore where these activities take me. I don't grind POI's, I just investigate ones that I haven't seen before or haven't visited in while as I go about other tasks.
I somehow have just shy of 300 hours in this game and even more hours in fallout 4 and even more hours than that in Skyrim.
Undoubtedly there is more to do in Fallout 4 and Skyrim, without a doubt, I'm not arguing against that.
But I just LOVE starfields setting and art style it keeps pulling me back. I am a huge Star wars nerd so a Bethesda RPG in space is just what I wanted from the studio.
The settlement system in fallout always frustrated me but I love ship building, I can sink days into it.
I've never been much of a fan of fallouts art style other than the BoS. I love Skyrims art style but the game is now tired looking after putting so much time into it.
I'll keep playing every so often, building funds, until shattered space and mod support but I think it will take time for modders to get their content out there.
You did the right thing, Paris, playing on a console. I had a ton of issues at the launch of PC.
can the series S do the 40 fps and 60 fps modes?
No Series S is stuck at 30fps
Miss Xcast but love Kinda Funny!
I REALLY wish I could get into Starfield.
what a wholesome start ^.^
Go Noles!
I do believe starfield will be on PlayStation at some point and I can't wait to see what the dlc will turn out
It like Forza & Microsoft Flight Simulator will never be on playstation. Never!
The map makes me laugh so hard. It really shows how small the game actually is. How is Skyrim still the best game they have made and that was over a decade ago?
It's not a small game. Small details & assets are immense. It's not empty fake buildings like the matrix demo. Name a game that is filled up as Starfield. Where you can put assets where you want how you want them in a room, and they will still be there. And still look awesome.
were do i find the car?? anyways,its just amazing to get the smooth 60fps in this game. Made me wanna play it again. Its a must for me,if a game works the way its suposed to run.
Mike brings such great energy - love the discussion as always!
Thank you for the kind words and for supporting!
MIKE HOSTING YAYYYYY
I thought the update was great! Excited for land vehicles and shattered space. I've been slow and am still doing my first playthrough, and have not yet completed the main quest. I'm loving it though! Give me everything Starfield!
Crushing that host role Mike!
Gonna wait another 2 years
The way Greg talks about starfield I swear we must have played different games maybe I downloaded the wrong game lol
Haven't played Starfield, but Greg makes me feel this way about AC Odyssey lol
@@Nurolight ahh thank makes sense. What a beautiful feeling
Anyone who loves that game says that the game doesn't even really start until you beat it and start timeline jumping.
@@Nurolight He said he loved fallout 3, he called it his game of the year 2008 at ign. There's no way starfield can give that bethesda feel because of the fast travelling.
@@Nurolighthe loves fallout 3.
I feel like they try a little too hard to stay positive about a game they are clearly bored of because they know the devs of the game are probably listening. Comes off as like a struggle session or hostage situation or something.
Why do we want vehicles for empty planets?
So you can drive between the copy and paste POIs.
There are 150 discreet POI designs in Starfield...Do some repeat more often than they should? Absolutely - BGS should take a look at RNG, and instead create a curated 'randomness' based on what players have seen.
Are planets "empty"? Absolutely not. If you spend any decent amount of time with the game, you'll notice that temperate, populated planets like Polvo, Jemison, etc. have *many* densely spaced POIs - mini settlements, autonomous farms, science outposts, etc. as well as abundant flora, fauna and mineral resources. Meanwhile, frigid moons may only have 2 - 3 abandoned POIs and a couple mineral resources. Its. Realistic. smh
@@JazzzRockFuzion lol ok todd.
I want a job at kinda funny... kinda funny
R U kinda funny?!?!?😊
I would have been excited for NCAA until it got stupid with teams buying every player like the buckeyes.
Mike is truly the master of hype
“No Red Line”
Booted up Starfield on my PC, updated the game. I got to the title screen and ....game crashes. Why do I even try :(
I mean that is the true Bethesda experience
Something wrong with your pc buddy
Xbox's recent actions make it so much harder to support Game Pass and that dumb pre-order Game Pass deal means I will probably never rebuy Starfield for a second time to play the new updates. It makes going back to this game so much harder. My initial reaction to the game was frustration with the games systems. They look better, the expansion looks cool, but I don't know if there's any convincing me to go back if I have to support Game Pass or rebuy the game.
It was mid, now is mid in 60fps
Can you believe its mid even on ps5 when it's not even possible to be on ps5
someone tell mike that its shattered space not shattered spaces lololol mf trading spaces type beat lmao
I’m loving Starfield at 60 fps in performance mode with vsync on. It’s a great game. Loving the story and the different factions. Glad I waited to play!
For me the 60 frames is all I’ve been waiting for it’s 2024 I can’t be going backwards to 30 frames especially for the amount of hours I’m going to spend in starfield
With the update, my new game+ has lost all credits, all of my ships except the frontier and the starborn guardian. F@ck you very much, Bethesda
I don’t think Bethesda will change the gameplay loop which is what a lot of people have an issue with taking it from a 8/10 to a 10/10 game.
People want flight from planet to planet, interesting stuff along the way like in Elderscrolls and fallout.
Much lore interesting things when on a planets surface. Or at least a bunch more in the rotation.
I think mods will figure all that stuff out and in 5-10 years Starfield will still be played and random planets will have handcrafted city’s/quests and everything people want.
Many people will eventually say Starfield is one of their most favourite games.
I don't think people want to experience Star Citizen level of glitches
COYS
This current update should be classified as a dlc in itself.
Starfield's biggest issue is that it's an incredibly boring game. That can't be fixed. Bethesda needs to stop wasting their time trying to fix the unfixable and put all hands on deck on Elder Scrolls VI.
Paris was off the mark this whole podcast. Yes, really good would have been enough. The problem is it wasn’t really good. It was mid at best
Wait for his, Hellblade 2 is really great at what it try’s to do review
@@illestcatnnebraska7331shouldn’t all reviews be based on what the game is trying to do
@@ViralMomentsTV-bt7fg “great at what its trying to do”, can easily be used as a shield 🛡️…a weapon for shills and those who damage control…hence it was appropriate in this scenario
@@ViralMomentsTV-bt7fgno, it should be based on what it has done, not what it’s trying to do lol.
Yeah Parris is way off saying if Ms didn’t own Bethesda starfield would have been better received. The Bethesda fans are the most disappointed by starfield.
pairs is a massive fanboy incapable of being critical even last week during doom and gloom time he was constantly playing devils advocate for a trillion dollar company
id also argue reviews would be worse considering bethesda i guarantee wouldnt have delayed the game a year and adding the ps5 on top of that the game would have been fallout 76 level broken
@@aceovrzero361 lol jesus christ dude that is such a lie, never did such a thing - I swear these YT comments are filled with weirdos
my point was Starfield was saddled with extra pressure being called Game of the Generation for Xbox
Let’s not pretend those Bethesda fans enjoyed playing games on their Sony PlayStation.
Didn’t Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 launch fall 2023 and base game was fall 2020. That was 3 years to slowly overhaul and fix the game. I don’t know if Starfield will ever get there but this is expecting an accelerated schedule when you compare what and how long it took cdpr to do what they did.
I don’t think I will play Starfield again until I can get a Platinum trophy on it.
If starfield would fix the caves I’ve seen 1000 times and same science building I’ve seen 1000 times if they can fix that were every item is in the same place everything then I’ll play it more I tried the update still no maps or land vehicle maybe I will return but it still sucks glade it got vrr and 60 fps support on console but other stuff ehh no
Do you think there should be 1000 different types of internal buildings? I hope you're paying $500,000 for your games.
@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo no man I think they shouldn’t have used regeneration crap and did more hand drawing for it not have 1k planets maybe 25 at the most maybe even 50 but when you put that many in there and the one planets that has caves/buildings is used like every planet it gets real boring real fast and how the heck are you going to find a place to buy stuff without a map I mean come on now gps has been used sense 2000 and this game like couple 100 years in the future also no land vehicles is a big problem I could name more and I’m sorry for the writing but it’s 6:30 here and I can’t go to sleep why no periods comms and so forth that’s my reason and if you say 500k for game well they just should have made the game smaller instead of them saying well when the astronauts went to space they wasn’t board well a game is interaimrnt not one small step for man
@@eazyevangamer1727 so do more hand drawings but not more planets. Listen, shut your idiot mouth.
And stop appeasing ponies.
Starfield with its number of planets, and points of interest types is perfectly fine for the TYPE OF GAME IT IS. Like StarFlight before.
💙💙💙💚💚💚
Don't hate the player, hate the game but Parris is such a brand cheerleader. His reviews on Forza and Starfield are just straight up ass kissing and he always makes sure to downplay honest critiques.
Anyone still listening to him at this point is sad. Bro has been wrong at every point and continues to move up.
It's not available on the ps5, never will be.
The fact that all of the features the update brought wasn't at launch is pathetic. 😂
Nope
The game was fine on launch as it was.
Much of the stuff could have been added on pc with a mod or console command.
@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo Fine at launch, but they added a bunch of stuff that people were complaining about? The hame came out half-assed and clearly needed more time.
I just wanna build a ship or outpost and keep it through ng+.
Id love a future DLC to lean into the new universe stuff. Like Star Trek parallel universe shit. What if UC were like the empire? What if Terramorphs won the war... New takes on the universe with new quests that makes things interesting.
All CDPR did was finally deliver a playable game. They didnt even deliver what was promised. I like Cyberpunk, but come on. Starfield has so much potential to be much better. I hope Bethesda sees they have one here. I want alien races, lol
As someone who loves both of those games, I'd just say they're both very good at very different things
CDPR completely overhauled the moment to moment experience. I used to play the game doing things like only using knives just to keep gaining Knife XP for only all my Knife stuff.
Now it's all just your standard leveling up from every game ever
And the gunplay in cyberpunk is still atrocious. Starfields gunplay is miles better although I would like some more rumble feedback on the remote when landing shots. I’ve played shooters my whole life and nobody can tell me the combat isn’t fluid but we all know the glue eating Bethesda haters will say it’s not
Lmao its small patch.. they added a map😂😂😂😂😂😂 thats it.
I am Sony guys
😂
Can confirm, I am the PS5 Pro SoC
took 16 minutes to get into the main topic of the show.
Hey! I’m sorry. That’s on me. We had visitors and I didn’t balance small talk, them, and getting to it fast enough.
@@SnowBikeMike all good im just being a clown
Starfield is just not that good
Starfield is in a bad place rn. It doesn't need a 2.0. Things arn't broken or unplayable, but porly designed or dated. However it still burned a lot of people. So it needs a 2.0 to bring in a large swell of people. But what is there to 2.0? That's Starfield 2, and that's 20 years away.
Still the same lifeless boring loading screen fest, same braindead enemies with no variety . The new update doesn't do anything to change that
starfield is a total embarrassment and failure
This is the saddest most normie soft core gaming podcast I have ever heard.
Guys who play as female characters in RPGs are a red flag to me. I'm immediately suspicious of them. The same way I don't trust anyone who don't like dogs. Something off about you, bro....
Worrying about the characters other people play as in their own games is weirdo behavior.
Feel like the logical thing to do is to play male or female based on which one has the better voice actor ... Sometimes there can be quite a disparity in quality, e.g. AC Odyssey.
People who like dogs are suspect. Keep it outside.
