- Starfield is rather decent in my opinion, so here are my thoughts structured in a mindless, lengthy ramble. My specialty.

#starfield #bethesda #gaming - Hry
The overwhelming hate against this game is Bizarre. I'm such a sci fi nerd I've always said that if Starfield was just Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout re-skinned in space I'd be happy. And it basically is with more complexity. I think it's a case of expectations going out of control like with Cyberpunk (which is a great game now btw).
It's that But also a HUGE aspect is the Sony fanboy Hatred of the game and they're literally working overtime to try and tank the game
Thats reductive. Your describing a minority of criticism with a extremist group on one side of the argument for starfield. You have extreme sides, "game is 10/10 amzing" and "game is horrible and dogshit". It would be the same as me saying all the praise for the game is coming from BGS shills and people who blindly support the game and devs, thats dumb.
The only sensible place I have noticed where fans of BGS can discuss the faults and issues they have with Starfield without being met with complete disregard, is discord and sometimes reddit. People are actual able to have healthy discussions about what is wrong with the game, what is bad about the game, and what bethesda needs to improve on for their future games.
Starfield is a good enough game, I can shut my brain off and enjoy mindlessly shooting enemies and just running around. Sadly I couldnt keep playing mainly bc the gameplay for me is immersion breaking bc of all the load sequences and breaking of character control and gameplay, another thing was the amount of time I ended up wasting doing meaningless generic busywork quests that amount to nothing, i will wait for a mod that removes all planets that do not have a unique quest or character associated with them.
Lack of build diversity, lack of player choice and writing/dialogue is painful as well. Put all of those things together and unfortunately the game was just not fun to play moment to moment. This is also all fine criticism and not just blind hate because I like sony (I own a PS4 and Xbox 360, Play everything on PC).
Usually when this criticism gets brought up its met by people claiming your a sony fanboy, you expected a space sim, or that i expected something other than a bethesda rpg. If you even compare BGS games from the past to starfield it is a huge departure from a traditional Bethesda RPG. Anyway, the game is fine, its nothing exceptional, people can enjoy it well enough, it just bothers me when people refuse to discuss criticism about the game to encourage bethesda to do better, especially with ES6.
I hate it because it is so painfully safe and generic and risk adverse. The simple fact that it’s so “decent” is what makes it so awful imo. I’d much rather Bethesda have actually taken big risks with their new IP that ended up with very flawed results then just do the most cookie cutter possible “new” universe of a video game they could come up with. Starfield is basically the spaghetti and marinara sauce of video games: it’ll satiate your hunger and be rather tasty, but it’s totally devoid of spice or any other interesting ingredients.
Standards these days have gone to shit if you think this is a good game
Oh it’s always like that. I remember when Morrowind came out it got a lot of hate because they compared it to Daggerfall, and it’s been like that with Oblivion, Skyrim, and all 3 of the Fallout games(I included New Vegas).
It’ll be the same way with the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout.
Its a solid 8 outta 10 so far to me its really fun and addictive but of course there are flaws but im really enjoying so far.
Agreed! I'm 40 hours in atm. Sure I do recognize its flaws but overall the game is a joy to play with so many interesting gameplay systems to mess around with. There's always something interesting to do in this game.
Brave, gave an arbitrary number review lol
So basically like most of Bethesdas
Very fun games ,has its issues but you can't deny the fun
do you know what to do to get stuff and credits quick, i just started playing and i have just been doing the main quest but i want to buy more things and it really isnt giving me enough@@REVOLVERE
@The-Creeper69 You guys still accepting mediocrity and just say we'll it's a Bethesda game😂. Fanboys the lot of you. This game is garbage. No amount of hand wringing will change that.
It's an 8.5/9 for me. I am having so much fun. It's a play at your own pace. I think really committing to a character to role play has vastly improved my overall opinion of it.
8.5 out of 9? Who ranks like that?
@@JokerOnOpium 8.5 or 9 / 10. I see how that looks confusing lol
8.5/9 lmao almost spilled my drink.
If that was an intended joke, then your next Beer is on me lol.
@jefferrrson1x It wasn't intentional but I'll take it 😆
It's a fantastic game, I've spent about 8-10 hours on a side quest storyline that was so long and interesting I honestly forgot it wasn't the main story for a bit
This is what I love about it. The side quests makes you forget you have a main quest to do, but that's good because there's just so much lore to explore you want to do everything. I read about NG+ and how people rush it. To each their own but I love to be fully immersed into the universe I'm playing it and starfield satisfied every itch of that.
This is a weirdly polarizing game. Seems like it really hits for some and not so much for others. I personally cannot stop playing any free moment I have. Loving this game and going to be losing a ton of hours to this haha.
Agreed. It has its flaws but I think this game succeeded in gaining a sizable fan base.
@@rando653I didn't read his review but apparently the ign reviewer liked it a lot but just decided a 7 was appropriate for "reasons" be it his Sony fandom or as click bait or imo both and obviously worked because Ign has been discussed everywhere just about and it's the Sony fanboys new god
@@rando653 Right? Then we got the "reeeee! Prounouns!" crowd upon release. Gotta love our modern world...no wonder so many of us cant wait to retreat to space lol.
Think it's a mix of people who always hated Bethesda games letting us know they still hate Bethesda games, PlayStation fans who are salty about Microsoft, and people who genuinely tried the game and didn't click with it. The first two groups making the last group seem larger than they actually are.
I will say the game didn't click with me at first because the intro is admittedly a bit weak and I was playing it more like how I would Skyrim or Fallout 3 with exploring around and looking at things. Once I got the beginning parts out of the way and started playing more like how I would Oblivion (focusing more on missions and questing than exploration) it was a lot more enjoyable, and now I'm hooked. Also took a bit to get used to the UI. The starmap in particular feels really clunky to navigate. I go to missions and jump to location as much as I can.
@@rando653and a lot of people loved the game before it came out
I think it takes people 12 or more hours to get into the game because that's how long it takes to actually learn the game and it's mechanics. The gameplay loop and what it is you actually enjoy doing. There's so much to do and see, you are just trying to take it all in and figure it out. Once you are comfortable with all the systems. Maybe a few planet surveys, a small outpost, a bigger ship with more cargo space, a few skills for your build, a few side quests and an understanding of the large cities you then find your place and your role in the universe
This exactly sums it up
Perfectly summed up my experience!
Eh 12 hours is fairly short. Take elden ring for example ( I'm not shitting on it or comparing, just pointing out) it takes some 20-30 hours to fully get comfortable in the way the game wants you to play (ie git gud) especially for newer players.
@@TheBurningcage27 Honestly so true. I still vividly remember the pain of my first play through lmao
I agree but for me a 9 I’ve never played anything like this
I like it too. It's not a space sim but it's decent as a Bethesda rpg. Choices are present and matter just enough, graphics are fine, and I knew that it being a Bethesda game there would be load screens everywhere. This is basically just a bigger outer worlds and I'm all for more of that.
I know it shouldn't just be Fallout in space ... but I really would love an in game radio.
I have 2 main problems with the game. 1 is bugs, obviously. For me landing in Atlantis doesn't load properly and all terminals and some ground is missing. Made worse by the lack of day 1 patch.
And 2 is that there is not even a small motor bike thing for planets, so many people seem to think they just couldn't do it. But we had horses in skyrim over 10 years ago. That's a vehicle guys.
I absolutely love it so far. Only done the main story and some random side quests, LOTS of exploration, ship making, looting shooting, outpost building, etc.
Popped into a NG+ briefly and went back too
I want to try Crimson Fleet as my first side faction questline. The game has some big flaws but it hits so many notes w/ me that I can’t stop playing. Absolute blast to play
You can go straight to planet to planet but the shortest travel distance I have seen was 7 hours
I just finished one of the faction quests and WOW. It had such a significant ending and fantastic journey to it, almost like I played through a whole movie, but I was in control of the outcome. There were plenty of tension and thrills to it and at many stages I wondered if I made the right or wrong choices. It’s not an easy game to give an opinion on as it’s so big, I could have done a different quest and not like it and just gave up. But after this one, I at least see great potential for what else is going on in the game
Vanguard? Cause that to me is one of the best faction questlines bgs has ever created...
I am enjoying it and fully understood it was a Bethesda game and was going to play like one. I definitely would like to see either terrain vehicles or in atmosphere flying to get around a bit quicker from where I landed. Getting around the UI/Inventory I think could have been much better.
It is cool to see enemies react to getting hit with melee and bullets, as well they are not glued to floor and can be knocked over while still alive.
Ooo terrain vehicles would be so cool! It’d make the long surveying missions a lot more enjoyable
Honestly the game doesn’t do anything ground breaking but it’s another classic Bethesda adventure and that’s just what I needed. I’m loving the game so far and I am definitely going to come back to it over and over again
I actually like the fact that there’s nothing groundbreaking. It’s just a good old fashioned Bethesda game, and I like it.
8.5\10 from me for Starfield. At starting i hate this game, but after 10 hours i... can't stop playing it.
I think a lot of the tech limitations are an issue, but it makes the game more accessible to modding. I can’t wait to see what the modders do after they pick this up and run with it.
It depends on whether the limitations exist because it's doable but the devs didn't do it (eg. adding DLSS support) or whether the limitations are an actual engine limit that isnt possible in creation engine. If it's the latter scenario, then neither devs nor modders will have any luck
I was thinking something similar. In particular I was wondering if all that space would make a good blank canvas for people to add their own little stories.
(I haven’t played the game, this is just based on some reviews I have seen)
@@peterd9698 kind of dogshit, your decisions don’t affect anything outside of the faction your dealing with. You can do the entire pirate storyline but still join the Vanguard (space opps)
I don’t get all the hate. Gaming community isn’t like it used to be that’s for sure.
I went in expecting a new Bethesda RPG and that’s exactly what it is, and it does it quite well.
I’m enjoying my time in the field.
More enjoyable than Skyrim, that’s for sure.
I'm loving it! The main story was very good. Great towards the end.
I recommend it!
Besides the blurry moving on console, and my overwhelming need to collect all the loot in every room I visit( there’s so much to pickup 😫) I like the game ! Also, I couldn’t believe how bland and burning the main menu is, it’s just a half lit background that reminds me of Interstellar and that’s horrible(sarcasm, I think it’s beautiful!). I’m glad the screen isn’t riddled with micro transactions and a store that’s bigger than some stories.
Leave the junk behind! Tell the OCD part of your brain that it's bad time management, it's not worth it!
Turning down film grain and turn off motion blur may help with you issue :)
@@historyismetal2187but craftingg
The motion blur bothered me too but on pc you can turn it off
Not on PC, Iv turned motion blur off lol
Coming from a overly critical person. I'm actually enjoying it. What hurts my soul, is..The traveling. To enter a planet, -open start map
- fast travel (2x if the planet is too far)
- look at planet and open map again and fast travel to enter the planet
Boom! ur thrown into a fight. 😅 (depending on the mission)
When the mission is over, you don't even have to enter your ship.. just open your map and fast travel to the next quest giver instantly. Which is terrible. It makes you feel like ur just going through quests from top to bottom. Therefore you don't run into many random events like skyrim 😕
Then don’t fast travel, you can fly around.
Use your scanner. It will allow you to travel to the planet your mission is at, and also travel to any planet in the same star system
You are 100% missing out on a ton of stuff by playing this way. Both on planets and in space.
Every planet, even the totally barren ones, have things to discover and find once you drop in. And many space areas have stray ships to scavenge, and dead space stations to explore and loot.
Just because the game gives you the massive convenience to quickly go all over the game (as an outpost builder i teleport around a ton) doesn't mean the only content is DIRECTLY at the fast travel location.
Even your scanner has a limited range, so some things may be completely invisible to you unless you spend some time exploring.
@comebackkid44723 yeah the fast travel can be as convenient as you want. More immersion means boarding ship, take off, plot course, jump, and then land at destination.
Update: i was in a honeymoon fase 😅. Very safe, vanilla and uninteresting side-quests. Story falls flat too. Not enough character development for you te feel anything towards the main companions. Just feels way to soulless. Gameplay isn't good enough to keep me hooked either. Defenitely not worth the $80 i spent 😔.
That Cyberpunk phantom liberty lookn juicy tho.
The game is amazing. Have been having a blast getting lost in space!
It’s a fantastic game, but I just can’t help to think how amazing it would be if it was made on a more updated engine. It would be perfect
After I beat the game 4 times, the story changed. I don't think most people know this. Sarah Morgan is a potted house plant in my game.
I really love this game. I’m 7 days playtime in, and I’m not bored yet.
What I like about it is that is still the same game that Bethesda has made since Morrowind, and I love it.
Lots of exploration, looking at things, talking to people, a bizillion quests, and so on.
I’m glad that Bethesda didn’t try to reinvent the wheel, and just stuck to their formula.
One thing I love is standing on an airless moon and looking at the sky. That never gets old.
Something i really appreciated is that there can actually be missions that are just too hard to complete and you have to leave, get stronger, then come back which really makes you appreciate how much stronger you are. I spent an hour getting my shit pushed in on the lopez farm sidequest before finally beating the ship combat and then realized there were atleast 3 more fights to go and was like yea nah imma head out lol
You can use your scanner to travel to places in space without opening the map
Planets can be clicked on to land on or scanned. Going to the main menu to Access the starmap isn't a necessity. I was playing it like that for the longest time for days and just yesterday I realized how more frustrating I was making it for myself and still I rated the game 9 and still do with room to get a 10 from me, that's how much fun I'm having with the game and after 30+ hours I decided it's time to hit the Main and factions
Bethesda just need a new gaming engine. It’s clear they can’t do any better with it than this so just create something better they have plenty of money for it. There where far too many loading screens for a 2023 game with next gen consoles
fast travel simulator
@@thephantomarcana true
Makes me wonder about ES6 . Can't be creation engine again I hope. I really like this one tho... just moves really slow. Runs great but I lose hrs just walking around talking n in the menus. I honestly wonder how anyone can give a real review in under atleast 60hrs. Bare minimum. I've been playing since early access and I'm lv 16 and done very little in the grand scheme of things.
Which engine should they use
Come to think of it, bioware was always really good at scale, kotor also felt really huge despite the sctual playabe areas being fairly small, despite that, taris felt like the giant planet city that it was, and tatooine truly felt like and endless desert, despite taking only 2 mins to cross the biggest section.
Greetings, fellow KOTOR fan!
You can fly planet to planet but it takes HOURS like real life hours
Knowing modders, I wonder how it will be handled, because of the amount of planets, you can select one and rebuild into the world (or as the very least a country) from the Elder Scrolls
That would take years.
@@bigzed7908Indeed, look at projects like Beyond Skyrim, Skyblivion or Skywind. They are truly inspiring projects and am glad the teams have created something in their spare time out of passion, but it's understandably taken longer than normal dev cycles to do so. That being said, if anyone here hasn't I would suggest trying out Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, a portion of Beyond Skyrim that is complete and available both on PC and Console, it's a chunky mod though so if you are on console don't expect to have room for much else (Plenty of room for Inigo though, another highly recommend mod)
@@bigzed7908yeah but theres definitely gonna be people who do it, people have been working on the beyond skyrim project for like 6 years and they still are far away from being done. i don't know if the creation kit is the same as skyrim too so it might take even longer for starfield
The "lore" has a really "good" reason why the human "expanse" is so limited, to not spoil anything play the UC Vanguard questline
There are several "forces" keeping humans in check.
Thank you for saying this without spoiling it. Will need to give it a crack tomorrow!
I just started that quest line, darn if it isn't throwing things at me that I wasn't expecting.
@@AHungryHunkyI just finished it and yeah it was so good. So many twists
@@SoalRaptor Yup, I finished it as well. I kind of had it pieced together early. Still a fun quest and can't wait to experience it the second time around. Got a cool looking set of armor too.
Is the UC Vanguard questline over after you deal with the initial threat past the snowy city (trying to stay as vague as possible for spoilers) because I haven't seen any of these 'Forces' keepign humans in check, is there more to do there?
One small point I wanted to amend here-though this is a fantastic video-is that, when you’re in space, you’re not in a contained little area. You can, in fact, fly up close to the planets or fly out into space. The catch? It takes hours. I flew up close to the moon before hitting the “barrier,” and the moon became low res when up that close. It was amazing though to realize that the space is actual technically traversable space, and that the sense of scale is justifiably palpable.
I just wish it was 60fps on console and I had the ability to turn the brightness up a bit.
It’s either 2.5-3 second loading screens, or constantly squeezing through tight crevices or crawlspaces for the same amount of time hiding loading screens so I’m not upset the game loads often its massive as hell. And I hate shimmying through small spaces as like Kratos and shit so it’s really no different in my eyes.
False equivalency. Even with Bethesda's previous games, because of the structure, you don't encounter loading screens nearly as often. And there are lots of other modern games with massive areas with very little loading. This games loading zones and constantly having to jump into (poorly made) menus really are a bummer.
@@m0ose0909 you are happy to have that opinion.
@@m0ose0909 also another opinion your happy to have! Cheers!
@@m0ose0909 no, you’re right, my awful facts and logic we’re utterly destroyed by your clearly correct facts and logic 😂.
Chill out man. I gave my opinion on the loading screens, and you gave yours. Something you have every right to do. But that’s it. They were just our perspectives/opinions/takes.
I think it's a good game. I'm having a ton of fun. Is it perfect? No. Is it even a GREAT game? Eh, not yet. But I think it easily will be with time. Vanilla Skyrim wasn't the exquisite game it is today, either. The base release of Starfield is a good game, with solid bones, for both devs and modders to build upon into the future. I really look forward to growing with this game from start to, well, wherever my ship takes me.
For me it makes sense that the heart of human civilization is just a big city, because according to the lore billions of humans were left to die on Earth when the planet died. And theres the fact that humanity is way more spread out in the galaxy compared to when it lived on a single planet. And also teh fact that its not absurdly far into the future where there would be an incalculable amount of humans around.
Totally agree. The combination of billions dying when earth collapsed and the fact that the remaining humans are living in dozens of StarSystems, people are FAR more spread out!
Great point on the level of scale, in particular in terms of New Atlantis. The vast and weirdly sort of unpopulated rest of thr huge planet make the city seem a lot smaller than it should
I agree with the overused fast travel. Really WISHED they could have "masked" the load times like NMS where the load times were your ship flying during the load time.
AND the utter oddity of loading going from one district in Atlantas to the other, you load on a subway, when the whole city is open so why not at least SEE the train travel during the load times. you can jump from one district to the other so adding a load time train is an odd choice (unless done for consoles)
On the good side, Load times are FAST AS FK but I am playing it on an M.2 NVMe.
Easy 9/10 from me with only a mere 30+ hours in so far. Its a Bethesda game which amps up everything Bethesda has always done well and minimizes Their misteps significantly.
I could easily end up hiving this a 10/10 in the end and with Mods i fully expect a 10/10 experience
Here late but I'm loving this game! Space can be traveled but it takes a very very long time. This part may be too accurate for a game. Makes me glad they removed running out of fuel.
7 out of 10 for me even though I have about 100 hours so far, ordered constellation edition and can’t stop playing it. But yeah, 7/10 😂
Loading screens are fine if the content im waiting for runs REALLY smoothly because of them.
It would be a cool mod where you start to settle a barren and people start to inhabit the planet
I too, was very confused about the "elevator person" type responses.
it's the opposite of just about everything on youtube right now but this is the best title format I've seen in ages
I personally think the small cities like Atlantis make sense in some capacity. Humans developed ftl space travel thus are open to a wide range of territory. Because of that, they don't need to compact themselves around a hub of government or commerce of you have an efficient means of travel. Think of how today compares to a time before railways. We are much spread out now because we have faster transportation.
I'm so glad to see some positivity about this game. It does have legit issues, yeah, but it feels like everything I see is so unbelievably negative.
Ive either had a bug where they refill their health in the middle of combat after ive drained it or....those lvls next to their health dictate whether or not they have an auto medpack suit ?????
Hey man it’s been awhile! Don’t know if you remember me but we talked back when you had only 200 subscribers lol. We talked about elder scrolls videos together but never did one. Glad to see you are thriving man! I knew it was a struggle for you back then!
Starfield...for me, is a solid 8 and a half game. The first few hours of the game is egregiously laborious and boring but when the game finally takes the leash off of you and lets you run free that's when the game shines. People are being so hyperbolic about the 30fps and I get it but for me It took me a while to notice it was 30fps because it was that stable and smooth.
Appreciate your thoughts!
I love Starfield. I can just traipse about, take my time with everything, tinker and tweak and micromanage my stuff with exceedingly low pressure because the main quests and other side quests do not interfere with the whole lived-in experience of just being a free-wheeling pilot with some kind of ticking clock.
I'm just enthralled by the ships, their designs/sounds and the existentialism involving lonely space travel - even if it were a demo, I'd still love it. Maybe I'm simple (ala smooth-brained) but I'll take my smooth-brain ignorance.
One thing about the dialog is they really need a (sarcastically)
or some kind of "inflection" marker because knowing how you say something is important.
Some choices I really can't tell if I'm saying it with anger or sarcasm until I pick it.
So glad no one else experienced the issue of losing 12 hours of progress in this game. And I had to compare it to the time/save files loss ratio to that of Skyrim’s in order to press myself forward. This game has notable bugs and issues. But I think this is their Skyrim replacement. In full. How many re-releases we get may determine this. NG+ is great, but I’m in my third playthrough and just going off to side quests seems more fulfilling somehow. But I’m just a crazy old gamer. Old by today’s standards. Old by measure of what games were to what they’ve become. A fossil. But this fossil likes this game… despite its’ effort to dissuade me.
Thats why at this point in the game....just finding that second artifact with sarah i only do specific exploration.....like last night i found some abandoned outpost on jemison .....didnt show up till scanned from orbit
I like it, I pre ordered early access and after like 10 hours. I'm enjoying it.
You can actually move in space, but your speed is realistic ish.
I like it... alot... I just dont like the regression in terms of AMOUNT OF LOADING SCREENS... loading every couple minutes is a HUGE step backwards...
People expected a space game. I expected a RPG with Bethesdas mark on it, and its exactly that. I knew what I signed up for and actually never thought/hoped we can land freely on planets or most of the other things this game gets hate for. In the end its just The Elder Scrolls or Fallout in a sci-fi setting with its Bethesda Quirks and Features... and tbh I like it. I couldnt really care less.
I’ve never played it but from all of the reviews from CZcamsrs, it has probably been the most polished non glitched game ever published at release
I don't know about that, some people have issues that I wasn't aware of when posting this video. I got lucky it seems.
Its very glitchy, just not in major ways. My characters are constantly either in their spacesuits when they shouldnt be, or in casual clothing on barren airless worlds. It's goofy and doesn't ruin the game, but yeah, the games got a fair share of glitches.
@@wrofiir9697 well at least it ain’t Fallout 76
What I really love about it is the design. It looks like a comic without the use of a cell-shading look. Whole game looks like a piece of art to me. And I like that it's kinda slow. Lovely game. Like Fallout 4 which is my all time favourite.
I'm in New Atlantis, three hours in, on a PC that was a mighty rig four years ago and is still pretty damn decent...but SF brings it to it's knees. I'm up for a few mods that might help that. But I'm loving the game. The pace is what I'm making it, and I love looking at the worlds in games. I really, really wish there was a real map for cities though. I'm sure a mod will come up.
I heard we’re gonna get a update that’ll add city maps finally idk when tho
People be bitching it ain't a 10/10 when its a solid 8. Those same people will be back when mods come out and it becomes a 10. Meanwhile I'm here chilling playing it for free and enjoying every second of it on game pass 😂
It's mid, solid 5 or 6 out of 10. Def worth every penny you paid
I see what people mean by it lacks the usual Bethesda charm but I think that’s the charm in itself, I believe it’s the ultimate role play game because of it LITERALLY BE ANYTHING YOU WANT within the confines of space
Top review, currently downloading, cheers.
It's one of the most divisive games I've played. Not in the sense the game varies in quality, it doesn't. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time so far with the game. But in the sense that half my recommends are singing the games praises and the other half seem to despise it.
Chances are the side that hates it are PS fanboys or Pronoun people
I feel like a huge portion of reviews are from people who developed expectation from what others thought the game will be like and very likely this was there first Bethesda game because fantasy and post apocalyptic did not catch their attention before.
I'm curious about why so many people hate or dislike the game. It's obviously not perfect, and has a lot of issues, but I keep having fun.
Exactly. When everyone hates a game, I usually always understand why. But I can't for the life of me figure out why starfield is viscerally hated.
I understand all of the problems that people bring up, the loading screens, repeat POIs, kinda boring story. But the good far outweighs the bad in this game
same, I recognize the writing as standard post shivering isles slop but I still liked it
I was watching reviews from different streamers who only showed the negative sides in Starfield. But then i downloaded it and tried by myself. Damn, almost the whole night i spent in the space. I do recommend this game and i aint regret that i have it in my collection
Same thing, I saw the negative reviews and bought it for $120au. It's unreal man, probs the best game I've ever played as a sci fi fan. Just wish there was more punishment or consequence for death
Also you can drop a pin anywhere on any planet where ever you want to land
Can you fly on the planets itself like take off and explore via space ship
At last i got me a fancy ship,
Dragonfire 2 c class with 40 reactor ,3 c level 4 partikle weapons ,
1600 shields ,30ly travel and 4500 cargo,
Mobility 76,
Killer ship with 7 crew
I had reasonable expectations and it surpassed a lot of those. I don’t care about nit-picky stuff. I wanted an RPG in space with adventure, mystery and quests. They crushed those. 10/10
It's not a great game, but it is a fun game. It doesnt have the same level of intensity and worldbuilding as Skyrim. Or the detail and npc interest. But the gameplay is solid, the exploration is....so-so. But good enough.
I wish it had better futuristic armor and weapons. Felt like just advanced NASA armor. Instead of a futuristic sci-fi. But it had a couple decent ones.
The story had an intriguing concept, but maybe fell a bit flat in practice. If the new game plus changed the story itself to a completely different ending with the "creators" they referenced that would have been a hell of a lot cooler. Or completely different game worlds in each new game.
Like factions, power balances, and so on.
im almost 60 hours in and on new game plus, the main quest starts interesting, then becomes a boring collectathon, and then the ending mire than makes up for it, also spoiler free warning, to grab the last piece they may ask you to upgrade your ship, dont do right away because at least for me it forced me into the end game sooner than i wanted
Its a meh at first but once you get into it its really fun the mercury suit+explorer pack is just ❤
The reason the flaws do bother us at All is that the game itself is that good.
Same here. It has weak points like anything else but I'm really enjoying my time with it and getting lost in it, kinda like Skyrim.
Anybody getting stuttering while playing the game on PC?
last chance to look at me hector.
I go from impressed to disappointed and back, constantly while playing
I didn't even know Starfield was out lmao
Stop touching grass
@@RVPissBoys Ik, its shameful behaviour
Crawl back under ur rock
@@Bootymusiah I've been waiting for years for this game, and when jt comes out I don't even realise.
I was underwhelmed but will check in after some updates
I love this game so much... it's my goty
Get the dlss mod guys! You get like 20fps boost! I can now run it on good settings
I've had a lot of fun just exploring this world. One time I found this abandoned laboratory and killed a bunch of spacers. Another time I found this abandoned factory and also killed more spacers. And just recently found an abandoned factory and.. well I killed more spacers...but now I have lots of random ammo to sell. Awesome stuff. There is just so much to discover and find in this game.
Fair. I found your “review” fair. Played since the 1st and your take is about the same as mine: a decent game with lots to do and some gripes and minor nitpicks to go along with it.
I believe im with you on this one ....i got bored QUICK with skyrim.....but this ... dude ive got at least 20 hrs and am only lvl6 lol ....i dont exploit or xp boost or anything i try to play this and red dead the way the devs intended
Thanks for the lowdown fizhy
I agree… I like it.. I had bugs.. but the game play was fun.
you’re just not familiar enough with space opera if you can’t start to predict the tropes you’ll encounter.
Me too. Having a blast
I think I wanted this game to be something and it turned out to be another. And now I’m grappling with the question is it me that’s changed since playing other Bethesda titles. Or is it just truly uninspired and mundane.
I quite like Starfield too.
I think I have to correct you in the meaning of Space travel/exploration. Its not true that it is a little skybox.
The Starsystems are actually there and you can actually travel between planets!
But, now the big Butt, your spaceship is really slow, there are people who already traveled from moons to planets or from one planets to another, both in vanilla time and with console commands to speed up the process. Planets are actual Spheres that also move according to the planetary cyclus! But Those Spheres have no real hitbox and you gonna glitch into them if you reach their surface lol.
Even the sun/Stars of the systems are there.
There is even a first mod that enables you to have higher speed with your ship (several times speed of light, etc.) without messing up the ingametime (if you did it via console and didnt extra set the speed of planets, they would have been faster too.)
That is only the first mod that tackles that issue, it is in the engine, the possibility is ib the game, your ship exists inside the Starsystem when you are in space. What we now need is creation kit and fine tuning for travel between planets (with existing mod u have to save and load when arriving at new planet, to have the game register ur actual position)
As i understand star systems are not skybox there are real spaces but realicticaly enormous.
At the start i liked it, 200 hrs in, i love it
The modding with how much empty space they've provided is kind of a hard argument. On one hand, yeah, it can be said that they shouldn't leave that much just for the modding side to take it over. However, on the other hand, you could argue that the amount of content could have been relatively the same with a tenth of the planets, making the game feel less empty. That would technically fix, or at least help the issue, but it would give modders less space to work with. Is that, then, a bad game decision or is it just kind of in-advance preparation for side-content via mods?
If u like Bethesda games its awesome. Must play. Very much a slow burn imo. Has ran very well. 8/10... mods make it 11/10
It's not bad, so far its at a 7.5 or an 8. The bugs are there but not as much from a usual Bethesda title.I feel the quests are still too linear and feels very 2010 your choices mean very little and I feel some of the dialog is pretty linear as well. Your character creator traits dont come through enough for me. For example i got the wanted trait and im always getting stopped in space and when im exploring but I fo to Jensen and when scan me the guard is like "no bounty welcome" it just breaks the immersion sometimes.
