    Instead of pulling another rerelease of Skyrim out of his hat, Todd Howard has released his dream game, Starfield. His dream game doesn't seem all that different from his previous games like Fallout or Skyrim, but that didn't stop him from promising you that this time the magic would be real.

    the lack of long range communications worked in skyrim: you had to physically run the whole way from Markarth to Riften on foot to deliver a message because there is no technology. It half-worked with Fallout: you have technology and radios, but not everyone has one, or more importantly, a working one. But it doesn't work at all in Starfield, where it's the future, you have FTL travel, but NOBODY has phones. It can be argued that FTL travel is faster than radio transmissions between solar systems, but you shouldn't have to deliver a message on foot to someone on the same planet, or hell, in the same city, or even building.

    • @aaronf4275
      @aaronf4275 3 місяці тому

      Exactly.
      In medieval (fantasy) times your brain instantly thinks of foot and horse travel and messengers crossing wild and dangerous lands and trails to finally deliver a message.
      In apocalyptic times again, barely functioning tech and having to regress back to medieval forms of foot delivery.
      How they thought in a game with spaceships, interplanetary travel, laser weapons etc. that nothing like email, text messaging or facetime can exist and that this will be acceptable to the players. Well it’s laughable. They just are so fucking lazy there and it’s clearly because they didn’t know how to make the player need to travel with those systems. Lazy ass shite game development.

      Agreed - played Cyberpunk straight after dropping Starfield and the difference is blatant. Cyberpunk is made by people who cared about quality. By skilled artists, story writers and developers. Starfield was phoned in with the bare minimum to please the board of directors. Also, there's Elden Ring, RDR2, Witcher 3 and 100's of other games all better than Starfield. Any Ubisoft game, too. I mean, that's a low bar, but looks like Bethesda wanted to copy the Ubi formula (and reap similar profits) but couldn't even achieve that. It's also obvious that Starfield tries to copy Cyverpunk with Neon, yet also fails abysmally.

      and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. there is simply too much work to do in order to make Starfield good that it's pointless. no one will want to put that much effort into a game that isn't even GOOD at it's bones.

Fallout 4 was already by release rightfully criticized for being outdated, so how the same issues appeared in a game 8 years later is simply beyond me.
      The next Elder Scrolls is probably going to be bad too, because Bethesda consists of talentless hacks not capable of operating on industry standart.

I never felt any interest in playing this game. I remember asking someone “does this game have aliens? No? Then what’s the point?” The reason why Skyrim and fallout got so many mods is because beneath the surface, there was a method to the madness and a masterpiece to be realized, as a Wise Dragon once said, “Which is better, to be released good, or to overcome your bad nature through great Mods?”
    But honestly, i don’t even see what’s the point in modding this game. There’s just nothing here. Just lots of stars in a field.

    When I was still in my game pass enabled honeymoon phase with Starfield, I kept hearing about how interesting and revolutionary the new game plus feature was. Then I got a little deeper into the game and spoilers became more common knowledge and a certain point I just went “so the point of playing this is to play it again?” I realized I was having no fun and that every single location felt like a tiny cardboard box and the only way to travel between them was through another much smaller cardboard box that I could rearrange to look like a different cardboard box. It’s kind of baffling how creatively unambitious this is, not only in comparison with their other games but with other games in the genre.

    One day, people will be able to perform the small act of self control known as "not pre-ordering" or "waiting for a week or two for some gameplay/reviews to crop up" so you don't waste your money, and the game and company responsible for shitting it out can fail financially because of it.

    Mass Effect 1 all the way back in 2007 had these small open world segments on certain planets that you could explore using a vehicle. There were some small points of interest and actually a decent amount of different events. And yet, even the developers admitted these sections being so terrible that they got cut for the rest of the trilogy and no one bat an eye. The only time an open world returned to this franchise was in Andromeda, where exploration was more of a focus and even then the worlds felt better designed than in Starfield.

    I fetched my 7th artefact (gosh, that was exciting!) and on my way back to Gloom Manor I made a detour to speak to a bloke I’d completed a puerile side quest for. He was in a conversation and he wouldn’t stop no matter what I did. And as I waited for him to finish a little voice whispered “if you have to fetch one more effing artefact , your soul will shrivel up and die!” And my soul had been struggling since the first moments of this game, so I left and never went back.

      And they should have hired some sci-fi writers. Nearly all the quests are lifted straight from medieval/fantasy/D&D tropes we've seen a million times before. As it stands, there is no need for it to be in space at all. Your space ship is your base. Planets are just islands.

Had you get involved in a rescue of the Constellation member while waiting for your ship to get unloaded at the first landing site. Then give you agency over whether you even take on the mission to start with. Have the guy you rescue get wounded and his ship get torn up making his leaving that first world a very long way off.

    What Starfield really needs is a warehouse/auction-house to sell to when you reach a port and, by corollary, any of the shops only sell to you. Purchases like the real world without the need to sell to a lot of places. Walk into the centre of any city and tell me that you can't find a half dozen shops that will sell you a variant of an item you want.
    They call most of these "cities" the same way, that the people in the 1800's called a small town "Dodge City".

    Bethesda made the Starborns pathetic. The Hunter, and probably many other Starborns, went through the reborning process several times. The Hunter in particular likely went through at least more than 7-10 times. He mentioned that he went through it so many times, he doesn't care about others anymore. Yet, he's a pushover. My character was able to "kill" him several times during our first battle. Keep in mind that my character didn't even go through the reborn process yet and barely obtained powers.

    Not to mention the landmarks on planets can be literal kilometers away from one another, requiring like 10 minutes of jogging/choking if you’re traveling in a straight line to one.
    They made multiple open worlds, then made it obnoxious to explore said open worlds. For a game where you literally are strong armed into an EXPLORATION company, it’s really really bad.
