ua-cam.com/video/qu-QmH37fz8/v-deo.html that intro combine with ya admitting to having taking the bethesda pill tells me that anyone who watches this video of yours needs to see an actually honest review of this piece of crap game....
Listen y'all. Ive played for 30 hours and haven't done more than one story quest. All of the side quests ive done seem huge in their own way. Whether its helping a child bring happiness to a distant space station on a remote planet, or its boosting around a plenet and discovering resources, or its flying my spaceship through a meteor field only to clutch the victory right before dying. I love it.
Right there with you. I've played lots of games, and I know what it feels like when one starts getting its hooks in you. This is one of those. There are so many things to do and adventures to be had on individual planets. Now take that times however many planets there are? Insane how big this game is. And fun.
Seems like you're an arrand boy in space. Flying a spaceship is so lame. You literally don't move at all through the vastness of space with our fast travel so what's the point? Crashed into a meteor and heard a doink but nothing happened. Lame. This is totally a last gen game.
@@joshuakarmann7488 - Because it has stuff that needs to be called out. The fact that you are so upset that some people are not blindly loving this game is sad.
Also the bad performance issues the bad gunplay which isn't even fallout 4 levels of crisp, the most awful space flying system ever, resources are pointless as is the scanner, just as many people hate the game just remember that
There is an actual bug in the game. The guy jumps up on the table because he is afraid of the bug. It's your job to swap the bug for him, completing the quest and getting mad xp!
I just got to level 25. I will say it was pretty slow up until level 19 once you figure everything out it is extraordinarily fun! I truly think it’s my new favorite game of all time.
I've been playing for about 14 hours and I loved this game from the start. I spent a lot of that time doing various missions on Atlantis and most of the game has been a pure joy to experience. The striking visuals, the soundtrack, the characters, the missions, and the huge scope of the game set in space. A lot of this nitpicking and bandwagon bashing of Starfield is ridiculous, particularly since a lot of these haters haven't even played a minute of the game. This whining that Starfield is the "end of gaming as we know it" just because it follows a traditional open world gaming style is asinine. Despite what some people think, there really isn't any radical new way to play videogames of this style. All the great games like Witcher 3 follow the same path. And worst of all are the haters that think just because they despise the game, no one else should enjoy it. Talk about toxic. There are certainly legitimate gripes about the game. In my case I would say the way the game handles dialogue in a weird "dice rolling" way is mediocre and nothing like the Fallout series. The inventory management and skill tree buildup are two other areas I think could use improving. But overall the game has been an awesome experience for me.
Just hearing that Starfield is Bethesda at its best has me completely sold. Both Fallout and Skyrim are in my top games of all time. Edit: game is amazing! Exactly what I was hoping for and more. Loving it! The people criticizing haven't even played the game for themselves.
You really need to do a follow up review…this game has seemed to get worse as you play it more and as you get further away from it. Are you still playing it? Still thinking about playing it? I was thinking about subbing to you and Mortismal - but if ya’ll still think this is a great game then I can’t really trust your opinion.
Every game is like that, You get bored of the same repetitive gameplay loop every game has, Its why modding is such a big thing it adds new gameplay loops and more stories, You could also simply of gotten burnt out and should play a different game it happens to everyone.
A cool idea i had for a mod is just modeling more locations to be randomly generated. Ill find out if this is possible when I get access tomorrow. I made plenty of mods for Bethesda games so give me some ideas guys.
Idk if it's possible, but congruent (I think that's the right word) world generation. Currently there are boundaries for every zone of a planet you drop on to. Every zone on the planet is procedurally generated so if you drop onto the nearest zone on the planet it won't match up with what you saw from the previous zone that wass right next to it. It was procedurally generated when you spawned into the new zone on the same planet. So if there was a way to eliminate that issue, it would be a game changer for Starfield.
@thatguyjoe3649 At my level it's not possible yet, that's not saying it will never happen that was the 1st thing I looked into. Unfortunately as far as I can tell that won't happen for a while. Someone talented will probably prove me wrong. Edit: it's an issue of how they built the engine around the game.
@@matthewblunderbuss4545 thanks for letting me know, but I hope someone eventually does fix the issue if it's possible at all. And it hurts to see they are still handicapped by that engine.
There are a LOT of reviews out there on Starfield. A number of these 'reviewers' combine fancy, articulate language in an attempt to high string the negativity and downfalls, all while discounting the sheer size of this game, the graphics involved and bringing this together. It's shameful what some have said in an attempt to sound important and fecal on Bethesda; but you didn't do that here! I was impressed with your review and how you handled this with positive optimism along with courteous commentary on the current 'issues'. Wished more dudes would get laid before they spill their diatribe on this game. Thank you for a very well put together commentary: I'll be buying this!
unfortunately, it's been the content creator narrative on bethesda games for a while now. their games are far from perfect but once you watch 1 or 2 critiques, it's the same surface level drivel that completely misses the appeal of these games.
@@dragonhalo8975 this game is awesome if you’re a creative person. I’m having a blast playing it and building. You just have to level up. Most games are not too fun at a low level
@@NOVYKATnope, the game sucks as bethesda rpg. Thats why it doesnt break fallout 4 record sales plus the user score also bad for both platform. This game also rated worse than fallout 76 on steam. Thats coming from people who bought the game at 60-100$ price tag btw. There is nothing wrong having an opinion, Theyre not childish if they dont like it. Thats why its called an Opinion
@@NOVYKAT Cyberpunk sold 8 million before released, 340k refunded and then sold 13million copies in the first 2 weeks. 2 years later, it sold over 20million copies, the price is still above 40$. When the game has good aspect like story, a genuine story, not a fucking fetch quest of 27 boring artifact, people will buy it no matter how buggy the game is and Starfield failed at that. People saw it boring and boom, no breaking record news, just number of gamepass subs who tap play button..
This is the first game since Skyrim that's made me have to force myself to go to sleep. My experience has been amazing and I wish I could shake the hands of all the developers.
This is my first Bethesda game that I'm playing. I own Skyrim and Fallout but I never played them. Starfield is massive and amazing. I spent 7 hours surveying a planet and even after 100% surveying it there were still icons on the planet that I never visited yet. I could see myself putting in 1000+ hours of this game. Im sure after awhile alot of things will get old but thats with any game no matter how good it is. Starfield is very immersive. Going to jail or having a bounty on your head is pretty neat. The game is honestly overwhelming with how huge it is and all of the missions and things you can do. 10/10 from me. It may go up there with my personal favorite games of all-time right alongside games like Ocarina of Time,San Andreas,Kotor,Witcher 3, Snes Zelda 3,Final Fantasy 7 and 12,Super Mario Bros games,RDR1 and 2, Bully.
That’s amazing that you’re enjoying the game this much when all you’ve really done so far is the randomly generated content. This is truly the best Bethesda RPG. Wait until you get into the real game.
Play Skyrim and Fallout instead. Both are infinitely better than Starfield. It's an inferior NMS that is just randomly generated and has shittier facial expressions and worse voice acting.
@@Dennis-nc3vw So after 405 hours into Starfield I decided to try out Fallout 4. I already have all the DLC and I love it so far. I'm at about 20-24 hours into FO4 and am level 10 and haven't even been to Diamond city yet. I cant believe I didn't start to get into FO4 until now but im glad I did cause im hooked. Im also glad I didn't start out on survivor mode like alot of ppl told me to cause ive already died 20 times on very hard/hard. I cant wait for Starfield to get all the stuff FO4 has like DLC,mods and a creation club cause it's going to be awesome. FO4 does alot of things better than Starfield such as building settlements and role-playing your character,I love how you can make yourself into basically a ghoul and eat human flesh and be a night person with buffed up stats for certain times. The Ai is also much much smarter in FO4 and the game is alot harder than Starfield. I may switch over to survival mode once I've mastered how to play the game. This is my first game that uses mods so easily so I didnt use any mods yet cause I guess it makes it to where you cant get achievements and I wanted to play the base version first since its my first time ever playing a fallout game. I can see myself pumping in 500-1000+ hours into FO4. It really is an amazing game. Ive had both FO4 and Skyrim since they released years ago and I bought them for my step son who is no longer around and I'm a big gamer but never tried those games out.
I agree, the hate this game is receiving is baffling. They act like Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout3/Skyrim are trash too, because this game has the same DNA as those classics, just with some new ideas and a fresh coat of paint
It's quite remarkable how controversial this game is with the thousands and thousands of players and critics (both amateur and pro) out there. I get it that there are some major flaws with Starfield, but such flaws, in my opinion, are overshadowed by an overwhelming amount of impressive aspects.
Bethesda has a bit of a hatedom where the same tired talking points are posted to any video involving one of their games, even if the talking points have nothing to do with the video in question.
This is one of those games where, when people attack it, they feel like badasses sticking it to the man and fighting the power, because it was a game by a big name company with a lot of hype. People like to pretend things suck when they disappoint them. But any game that you play for 10s of hours isn't a bad game, no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise.
I like these reviews usually but given what we now know about this games performance and the lack of content involved.... This is not a review It's feels like a bought and paid for copium post because gamers (including me) dream a game like this can work but this one currently doesn't
What do we know about the game? That there are load screens, that there are bugs, that some of the systems aren't clear...all things I talk about in the review. It's a Bethesda game, what you see is what you get and I talk about that at length. I don't pretend it's something it's not, but I stand by my statement that it's Bethesda's best game. Review wasn't sponsored, coerced, or forced by anyone other than me, who spent 100+ hours with the game before writing it. You've clearly just made up your mind already.
@@LegacyGamingUS you might be right. I'm in the vocal minority that pretends not spending my money on unfinished products actually matters (and I can admit that's a tad silly) But I'm watching review after review of people shilling this game to the public. I'm actually trying to convince myself to want it sooooo bad and can't. I apologize for the accusation, I should not have made it. My point is less about you and more about gaming companies abusing our FOMO to put out subpar content
I've been playing SC and Ed since 2014. This game has everything I want and I feel at home with NPC's standing on tables. Starfield will be my go to space game for a long time.
Bethesda hooked you up so you’re shilling for them. Got it. Here’s the truth, Starfield is good. It’s not Bethesdas best game. With updates and mods it could be truly amazing. Right now, as it stands, no. I got and paid for my early release copy all on my own so no shilling required.
You literally have zero understanding of how the industry works lol. Every single creator or press outlet requests their copy of a game for early review. That's it. Nobody is beholden to anyone, and if anything was paid, that all has to be legally and publically disclosed. Just because you dont like something, doesnt mean others dont as well. Dont question our integrity just because we dont agree with you.
Here is a real brutally honest review. The game is a choose your adventure story book with awful, unmemorable combat, terrible AI that never seem to care you showed up to your job interview in a flight suit, etc and the quests are boring and repetitive. It has a massive inventory management overhead with one of the worst inventory systems ever implememted.
I mean 160k views and 5k likes says it all, you dont know what a good game is. If this is the best Bethesda can make they should stop making games. I mean space travel in Freelancer from 20 years ago was better, combat felt better, and the conversations with the npc couldnt have been done with less love. I played this an hour yesterday and it started ok with the mining company, they give you a meaningless task, and suddenly the drama kicks in, what a shocker. Dialogues feel meaningless and empty, like you just play a recording. BG3 was way more engaging from minute 1 and i didnt wanna stop, Starfield made me want to go to bed to make it stop 😂
Well it was opposite for me. Starfield engaged my mind with its copious amounts of gameplay systems and baldur’s gate couldn’t keep my attention with its boring and clunky gameplay systems. Furthermore, none of the other space games you’ve mentioned held my attention either. This game is fantastic, and now that mod support is here, it’s even better
Starfield is a great game. But I would have changed a few things. Obviously less planets. The empty planets arent a major issue. But the map was so annoying to navigate cos there was to many planets to scroll around. You would have gotten the same result out of 20 solar systems instead. Mining resources should have been more lucrative. 1 of the reasons planets are pointless is because 1 of the reasons to go there is to mine. But resources aren't worth anything. At the start your in a mining job. How the hell is a business sustainable that can afford several employees, spaceships and outposts but mining resources sell for a few pence per unit. Its actually faster to get materials by doing a quests to make some cash and buying them. They should cost more and sell for more. Make me want to goto planets. Certain weapon and armour upgrades, should be only allowed on uniques. Like you can put explosive rounds on a regular double barrel shotgun. Its easily the best weapon in the game because ammo is so cheap. This would also make players explore planets to find lootable outposts for these uniques. That ability thing in the structures. Collecting the fragnents to absorb the power. That was cool once or twice. Every single time just sucked. Also if they had far less planets they wouldn't need to tell you where they all are. This would have expanded the exploration way more. The UI is annoying. You should be able to have the container on the right and you on the last. Details in the middle. Everything else, BGS has addressed. If you go into Starfield for its quests and customizable stuff then its great fun. But if you wanna explore a massive open world then I would say stick to Fallout or Skyrim. I do recommend giving Starfield a go but don't let other peoples opinions give you a negative perception on the game. Clear your head of the negative and positive opinions and just go into it for a casual bit of fun. Allow yourself to relax and be emersed into its quests. Try out all the factions and side quests. There is bound to be some you enjoy.
How is it that so many reviewers say that the game is a loading screen simulator and complain that the game is basically just a bunch of closed off instances that you load into. Yet this one video praises it like it's something amazing? I have seen no other video that praises the game so much. So what gives?
1. The amount of loading screens is unacceptable in a game like this 2. No Man's Sky has procedural planets. Starfield used 1,000 planets as a selling point and it should have focused on designing 30-40 planets with more content and explorability. 3. The fact flying in space consists of more loading screens, small scale battles, and not allowing real exploration is a huge loss for this game. Starfield can be a really fun and enjoyable experience with plenty of content but this is NOT Bethesda's best game. That's a hell of a statement to make there.
This being Bethesda at its best out of the box is exciting. Thinking about when mods hit though, my god sign me up. This game will rob me of my life and soul 😂
@@Archetype_M3T4L This is true. I actually enjoy the way they did it in Starfield, slows down time but lets you fire all your guns at the same time. I just got annoyed at the limited requirements you had in VATS of old games.
@@RK-yv9kp Playing right now, I love it. It's not for everyone though, you really have to enjoy Bethesda RPG type games as it's basically fallout in space. The 30fps is annoying (although I'm sure modders will fix that)
MODS! I want MODS! Skyrim started out like this, good game with some bugs, MODS came along and now it’s one of the best games of all time. I’m confident once modders get their hands on this game, all the negatives in the video will get fixed.
@@Enigmatic.. Skyrim is absolutely one of the best RPGs ever made. It's not a perfect game, & I personally preferred Oblivion, but you cannot deny it's impact & the things it actually got right.
@@Enigmatic..I agree, it's amazing, but I like the RPG of Morrowind and Oblivion. Skyrim just carries you in your arms all the way through. I want to think of where to go based off little hints and small crumbs of information.
@@hostonyoutube Its okay you can dream about it. It's never happening there are clear engine limitations. It will take few years more until an actual space game is released and not that childish boring game that is No Mans
Great video. This is the best game Bethesda has made hands down, and this is coming from someone who has a full playthrough of ES Arena on my channel, along with hundreds if not thousands of hours in between Fallout 1-4 and Daggerfall to Skyrim. I love reading comments at all the people saying we are paid off, or shills for Bethesda. People just hate to see you love something. Todd should be extremely proud of this game and I hope it wins GOTY.
People who are saying the game is trash are the same people who think Cod war zone is a real game I like war zone but it’s just a shoot and loot there’s no story or ambition this is the biggest exploration game ever made on a galactic scale give the developers there flowers 💐
I honestly wasn't that excited about this before, but from the sheer anticipation I hear from friends, communities, even podcasts I can't help but feel like this is something to not miss out on. I even spent the extra dosh to play early. Things look and sound promising, see you all in the stars and await to hear your tails from your ventures.
Given my favorite games of late have been the open world AC games, and go8ng back through the Fallout games, I'm pretty sure between this and Remnant 2 I'll be pretty happy 😂
I put about 30 hours into the game this weekend, didn't like some of my decisions and put in 4 more hours last night to completely restarting the game. I am not a huge bethesda fan boy, I don't even like skyrim and can take or leave fallout.....however I am having an absolute blast on Starfield and I haven't even accomplished much in the way of storyline. This game is epic to put it mildly, anyone who hates it , that is their choice. While they spend time on the internet griping and complaining to gain social media cred, I will be flying and gunning through space every chance I get. Matter of fact my game is waiting on me right now, have fun out there to fans of the game!
What I really like about Starfield, is that it is among the few games that it is unpredictable. You finish a quest and suddenly there is a surprise at the end that changes the whole thought. You land on a desolate moon and think there is nothing there and suddenly an enemy ship comes and attacks you, almost every mission has a branching into more sub-missions, it's simply amazing how much content and surprises there are in this game. I really don't understand those who claim that the game is boring.
I'm sure you have reasons to think it's exciting. I definitely have reasons to think it's boring. If you ask me what those reasons are, I'd say: Lifeless writing, flat characters, bland companions, a shockingly poor opening premise, a dull and repetitive main story, broken quest design across the board, a general lack of thematic development and relevance (the game has nothing to say), a total lack of meaningful exploration, no clear and distinctive sense of place, no tonal/moral differentiation between factions, no ability to affect outcomes in the story or in the wider world (except at a couple of isolated points), no fundamental reason to care about the world or anyone in it, unimaginative weapons, poor facial animation, little enemy variety, basic mechanics (which might make the game more fun) locked behind perks... the list goes on, but I'll stop there.
I have over 300 hours in this game according to my Xbox and I have never put more than 20 hours into a Bethesda game before. I hate Skyrim with every fibre of my being and I think Fallout is fine at best. I absolutely love Starfield and I'm barely half way through the main story. I love this game.
I recently found this channel and it turned into my go to form game information. Not only reviews but guides wall throughs and pretty much anything I need. I appreciate you guys and what you do. It's a refreshing change from many of the other gaming sights and channels out there.
Thank you for your smart and, at times, funny, review of Starfield. You answered many of my unasked questions and did it well. I appreciate your analysis.
I think Bethesda Games are definitely for Bethesda Fans so Starfield won’t be for everybody. I have zero doubt I’ll be doing an all-nighter this evening with this one. It’s going to be Epic!
Nope. I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Starfield is a serious downgrade in almost every way. The story makes no sense, the planets are procedurally generated, the non-existent facial expressions, and just the overall lack of real content. Only good thing about it is Barrett. Oh, and the refund. Lol.
Why do you people have to constantly make excuses for this game? WTF is wrong with y'all? Yes, it is nice to look at the positive in life, but you guys are defending and making excuses for every negative aspect of this game. I have never seen anything like it.
@@TheBatosai Make excuses? You're asking something that's basically impossible. All the games that Starfield are being compared to when it comes to loading screens have only a fraction of the subsystems and mechanics that Starfield has. They're not even in the same genre. Starfield is an RPG with some space exploration elements. If it even comes within 50% of the exploration fun of NMS or other games that are dedicated exploration sandbox games then that's a HUGE W. None of the space games it's compared to even come within a fraction of the RPG elements.
The performance is not good at all, it's no open world, the menus are horrible, the enemies are spongy, cities are huge but useless, the planets are boring and limited to sectors, nothing gets explained properly. I could continue this for hours how many things they did wrong. After 20h I'm done with this game. I rather going back playing the newest update of no man sky, which exists since 7 years and does so may things way much better than Strafield. It were only Todd's sweet little lies again.
Really appreciate this review. You've swayed my opinion with your skillful execution of the review. It was both honest and critical, there was praise and critique at the same time. So with all the options weighed I was able to make an informed opinion.
We literally criticized that the game is load screen after load screen lol. No review or opportunity to play the game is ever paid. We request a review copy, and review the game. If it was paid, you'd see it legally disclaimed that it was paid.
I bought an XBOX SERIES X just for this game bc I’ve been waiting for 3 years or whatever for this. I love it. Was it worth the $500+ I’ve spent on it? Yes. Call me a fool, but I haven’t enjoyed a game like this since NBA 2k13 and 16. I’ve always wanted to see Star Wars make a game like this but they never got around to it. And I’ve been playing this since Sunday 9/4 (early access) and I’m barely level 16 with like 40ish hours. Just love it. I’m overwhelmed a lot of times since it’s my first BGS game but man.. I’m absolutely immersed in it.
The only thing I don't like is you can't seamlessly land and take off on a planet in real time like you can in No Man's Sky. In Starfield you get a landing cutscene so you don't actually land the ship.
Eh, played about an hour so far free on Gamepass. Menu and UI looks like it’s from 2010, gun play was ok, nothing special. Dialog nothing special. Graphics do not look good. This is NOT Skyrim in space. There is no open world feel, just loading menus. I would probably not feel good if I bought this game.
Haven't watched the full video yet, but based of the title, I definitely agree. I mean, it's a little glitchey, but that's a staple of Bethesda games. Plus, at least when I'm posting this comment, it's not even a fortnight old yet, and hasn't gotten the chance to update glitches yet (BTW, if you have a glitch where your character doesn't have eyes, you can easily fix this just by quicksaving, closing your game, and reopening.) The ship combat makes me feel completely empty inside, sure, but it's not all too difficult, so worse case scenario, you just have your brain go on autopilot while you brrrrr on some other ships, and continue with your day. Those are the only 2 cons I can think of, and there are so man pros. I mean, there's a double jump. In what universe are double jumps NOT incredibly fun? If not to do some cool trickshots in combat, you could use it to try and push the game to its limits and go places you were never meant to go. I, personally, absolutely love flying over my enemies, reigning hell fire from above like goddamn fighter jet, especially on some of the more low G planets. I also love a lot of the more cyberpunk aspects, such as Neon and stuff. Neon really makes me *feel* like I'm in the future, what with all the corporate corruption and the entire planet being flooded. I would like to point out that Mars has not, in fact, been terraformed, and I would like Todd Howard to fix this immediately. There are no thermonukes on the poles, and I have not seen a hint of the colors green OR blue. Bethesda pls fix. Thank you for your time.
I've been gaming since gaming began and I thought this game was going to be THE space game. I've played up to level 85 so that means I've played hundreds of hours to give the game the best possible chance before I make an opinion. All the hype, all the bullshit promotion that Bethesda put out before release about immersion and a 1000 planets to explore is a lie. Ninety percent of the planets are barren with nothing on them. You cant explore a single planet because they are not "planets" at all. They are mini maps that cover a certain circumference, once you reach the a certain distance you come to an invisible wall. You can take off and land in a different part of the same planet and its the same bullshit. When in space you cant fly round the planet or fly nearer to the planet, its just a flat picture. You are in a mini bubble and not at all connected to space or the planet in front of you. The game is infected with load screens whether in space, getting off your ship, going through doors the list is endless. There is no immersion what so ever its just a glorified shooter with bubbles and mini maps all over the place. You may love it to begin with but after awhile you realize its a boring repetitive rip off. There's bugs all over the place and the dialogue is dated and boring. I've been to every planet and star system and what you get no matter where you land is a cave, a science outpost, a fracking station, landing site etc. They are the same for EVERY planet !! I feel I've wasted my money and time on a game that is the worse game from Bethesda and they should be ashamed of themselves for portraying such a game for profit and greed. If you enjoy the game then all is good for you. Regards.
Well written review. We have to remember this is based off the same engine in other games that require a load to enter a building. Of course I wish it was seamless, but I never expected it. Overall the game sounds like what I wanted and expected. Looking forward to checking it out.
We do also have to remember even for SC and NMS they do have loading "walls" as well for something like going from planetside to space they simply hide this transition process behind gameplay mechanics and art. The genius there was hiding that transition from players during a "playable" moment.
It doesn’t matter what engine they use, with our current technology a game this big without loading screens is impossible. Besides, the game isn’t based off of the same engine, it’s built on CE2, all other games we’re using CE1, this is like saying Unreal engine 4 and 5 are the same thing.
@@PastPositive chief at least hide the loading screen behind something thanks, not just literally use LOADING where are we in 2005 or what. And dont tell me this crap "with our current technology" because thats literally untrue, with current technology it is possible to not have them at all. As some comments are saying "Bethesda games always feel a few generations behind." I dont know how someone can play like that, loading after loading it would drive me nuts its comparable to internet lagging.
Really well done professional review. You cover everything, you speak incredibly articulate, and explain things perfectly. Good job with the video editing snd content too. Dope channel.
Bethesdas best game? I dont see how you can say that with a straight face. Might be your favorite , and thats just fine. But you call it the best theyve done is simply not true
I've been replaying FO4 all week to get firmly in the Bethesda mindset. This review sounds exactly like what I wanted to hear. Huge Bethesda fan since Morrowind 20 years ago. Arcady space combat (Great, I don't want to adjust to flight sim mode in the middle of my RPG), combat not as intense as COD (Great, not looking for the stress of multiplayer FPS games). Explore, build, discover, extract, that's what I'm looking for. 5pm can't come soon enough!
same feeling! morrowind is probably my favorite game ever (or KotOR), and to have 2 true successors come out within a month of each other after nothing for years... crazy
Man im so conflicted. I hear the game is bad and buggy and the devs lie about stuff. Then i watch this video and its giving high praises and gets me hyped. Guess ill just have to wait until it comes out on gamepass and see for myself.
My first stop for a Starfield review. You guys are amazing! Great professional content as always and balanced reviews as always. Even more excited to play. Thanks guys!
About what you said about the load screens. No...When I play No Man's Sky, and I will never see a load screen. I'm seriously unimpressed, I bought this game already from a different company a while back.
Love you brother, good to see you in the feed. Congrats on all the success with Palia. Once I get around to playing I know EXACTLY who I'm checking out.
Great review man, I agree with a lot of the stuff you said. My only disagreement comes with the combat. I found it really smooth and ridiculously fun. I think the only way to improve it would be to add a key or button to switch quickly between 2 weapons and a melee (fists or knife). The radial thing they have is decent, but it does break the combat loop a little. Loving this game so far
It’s crazy y’all like a unfinished piece of shit. I’ve played more games you could think of and jumping into this game was the biggest disappointment. NPC are ugly and glitchy, worlds are boring and bland, quests are all the same generic crap. If you still have not bought this game congratulations. You’re one of the few who don’t have to cope and say it’s a good game because they spent $100.
They've proved a lot. The tech they already have in place no other game has been able to replicate still, especially at that level of fidelity. That's just the objective truth.
@@LegacyGamingUS like what exactly? The “game” hardly runs. Many other games have already surpassed what used to be amazing graphics exclusive to star citizen. Sure it might be the closest thing to a seemless open universe experience. But what’s the point in that when there’s nothing to do in it or do things available in every other space sim? And when seemless-ness can be achieved with creative loading screens and culling techniques? Star citizen has fallen behind! The only thing great about it are the ship interiors. Which cost hundreds of real life dollars to even obtain permanently. (Previously, hundreds of irl dollars were the only way to obtain the ships at all).
Everything will be obtainable permanently ingame when they are on a build that doesnt require a wipe going forward. That is essentially after server meshing. The game is buggy, absolutely, but that's because it's an in progress alpha. That being said, we've had sessions lasting 12+ hours with no bugs or performance drops. It's all dependent on server health. In terms of graphics, Gen12 was just added in for rendering, and Vulkan is coming soon for global illumination and an overhaul to the graphics. They are actively keeping it looking good, but it's at a pace where appropriate.
It's really not based on what they are setting out to achieve and build from the ground up. Check our their Squadron 42 trailer released today, as their single player campaign is officially feature complete and on to polish.
@@jeffbrossard163 Oooooohhhh yea. Most people are disappointed you can't fly straight down to a planet...but if you're looking for Fallout/Elder Scrolls in Space it's a ton of fun. I'm playing on PC so it runs very smooth and looks amazing. Series X version is absolutely playable but the difference in quality is very clear when i tried it. Hopefully Series X gets a quality update in the future. Btw...I'm level 9 and I'm working with space cops right now called Freestar Rangers. Sunk 4 hours into this quest it's just a side quest. Soooooooo much to do.
September 1st is the early access launchm official launch isn't till the 6th. Most who care about the reviews probably didn't/wouldn't decide to pre order based on reviews. Those waiting on reviews are more likely to play on game pass or buy after release, maybe during a sale.
@@TheSwayzeTrain not everyone already has it, nor wants to download it. I know quite a few people who don't manage storage well, and don't have space for something they are wishy washy on
the reason they don't want you to have SHIPS and vehicles FLYING way tooo fast.. It's Starfield... not Vehicle Field..... you walk around jet pac HOURS AND HOURS... RPG shit... then land another content, or on top of planet, or mine area.. AND then when finished with that PART you hop in ship MAP and go to NEXT continent on PLANET... once DONE... or bored.. YOU HAVE 1,000 PLANETS to EXPLORE and LAND MANY MANY POINTS OF LANDING... that is AMAZING!! when you take in effect OF GRAPHICS/ STYLE/ WEAPONS/ TALENTS/ SHIP COMBAT/ SHIP UPGRADES / CREW upgrade/ PLANETS exploration and SOLAR SYSTEM exploration WITH quests more than any BGS game. That is starfield. Jesus.
I've spent hours building mechs in Armored Core VI so seeing how similarly-in-depth you can make your ships in Starfield makes me realize how I'm gonna lose even more time customizing my ship lmao
@@ninjadog9346 Ship combat, of which there is plenty. Docking with enemy and derelict spacecraft. Modification modules such as industrial workbenches, reasearch stations, food manufacturing, pharmacological manufacturing, armour modification, shielded cargo bays for smuggling contraband, passengers quarters for ferrying clients and more. You obviously know very little about the game, it's literally a flying home base.
I have about 50 hours in the game. I agree with you completely. I have finally gotten to the thing featured at the end of Starfield Direct and I have gone down the rabbit hole of one Faction story line that could have been the main story of Starfield it is so long, deep and compelling. One thing I will say is that the ship editing system is worth learning a bit early on. One of the big issues in the game is storage space in your ship. If you tinker with your starting ship by adding cargo addons, adding engines, and improving you power core (I forget what it is really called), you can literally tipple what you can store on ship. Slap on one more laser of the same type you are already using and you are also better at fighting. The nice thing is, it is shockingly inexpensive to do this. For those willing to try this, just remember you can only use ship parts marked as Class A. B and C require skills you will not be able to get until much later.
@@gamersinger5118 I did too, unfortunately it is empty and you have to craft everything you want to put in it and that all requires materials. Lots of materials.
And that's a fair take. The game has more content than most previous Bethesda titles. Issue is, when put in a space setting and spread across roughly 800 locations, it feels underwhelming because of how much traveling you need to do between content pieces.
You mentioned a few things that damn near kill the hype for me straight out. Walking across a planet for ages instead of using a ground vehicle of some kind... or FLYING in your SPACESHIP! Lack of seamless is really disappointing. Plus invisible barriers are awful. Also the space physics had better be legit (more or less). For $70 starting it looks like I'll be waiting for patches, updates, DLC news... etc
I mean all of these negatives were also known about for months (minus the invisible barriers one, but having played games like Star Citizen and No Mans Sky, we could immediately tell this was how planet exploration would be when they said things would procedurally generate on a planets surface. That immediately screams localized chunks)
6:30 I never even walked far enough to encounter that. Honestly I don't think it matters because you can just land somewhere else on the planet to generate more stuff or go to another planet.
Man it's been such a pleasure to watch yalls channel grow over the last year, you guys are killing it and deserve all the praise you've been getting! Tha KS for the content, cheers 🍻
Comments like this keep us going man. We work our asses off day in and day out and your kind words really help light a fire under our ass to keep going and keep pushing for more
Don't trust this review, this is probably the worst of their games I've played. The universe feels empty, you will literally hit thousands of load screens during gameplay, the perk system is arduous, the ship build system is illogical (you can't share ship parts? Dumb), many things take forever to accomplish and have no real payoff (outposts).
The only issue I really have with it (and its a pretty big issue) is the exploration. You dont really have the unified experience where you can just walk in a direction and find something/someone interesting... I think setting it on a single solar system with 6-10 bethesda DLC sized hub worlds that are varied and interesting where you can legit just walk around & explore would have been better. Between those worlds could be space you can fly around in and explore with actual take off/land mechanics like no mans sky
My brutally honest feedback is this: I am anoyed. Annoyed that space travel does not exist in this game, just some clicks on a starmap. Annoyed that my smartphone has a better voiced AI than a robot build 275 years into the future who sounds more like a 64 bit voiced sound card on a Commodore computer from 1980. And it took me only 2 hours of gameplay to notice these. And no free look around your ship? You are stuck with the view your ship is heading to .... like wtf??? Seriously no one sees this as a big minus in a space game?
100% agree. It’s their finest game for sure. A LOT to do and get used to but AMAZING. I can’t imagine the modding possibilities. My ONLY gripe, and it isn’t a gripe, is that it’s TOO MUCH too fast. Also the background NPCs don’t look great but mods will fix that in a few months. And I understand why they did it. To lower poly counts for frames.
He amazed me how the community accept a game with alot of issues, contents problems and repetitive, bad IA, to just “wait for the community to fix the game for the developers”, in 2023 and after Microsoft acquisition, for me, this is simply unacceptable.
I cant believe anyone is happy about a space game without space exploration. More todd lies. Are people just too sad to admit theyre stupid for pre ordering and getting grifted again?
Bethesda realised its fan boys will defend anything at this point even up too pre orders like fallout 76 conning thousand, massive bugs in realeases, taking detail out of games and selling it as DLC and literally lying about whats in thier upcoming games. The only people defending Bethesda have already pre ordered and are on hard cope mode. Bethesda will hope modders fix it for them again.
Really the best game? No even close the NPC race balance is absurd, the meth head looks on their faces is embarrassing. You clearly just ignored the incompetence involved in this game it is absolutely the worst Bethesda game ever created.
Essentially no *outer space* in an open world *space* game. No outer space travel, what? Todd Howard: "We let you design and build your own ship. And yes, you can fly it." Fly it, or 'fast travel it', Todd ?
I really wish they would stop stripping out the rpg elements from their games, but I'm sure modders will put that stuff back in. Just hate the industry trend of giving us dumber games with flashier stuff, especially the traditionally nerdy and proud of it RPG games.
I keep looking for fun reviews and stuff, But it seems like I'm playing some other game, Because I absolutely love this game! A ton of people have given it bad reviews (I could care less) however I feel like I am experiencing a masterpiece that other people just aren't seeing!
I am really enjoying it too. - 94 hours in and still no where near finished with the game. I do not understand the negativity surrounding the game and it has made me question the value of reviews/other people's views. if you enjoy a game, just enjoy it, do not worry about what other people think.
Finally someone smart!!! So many people I used to respect their opinons have hated on this. I think that's just the hit thing right now is to hate on Starfield. I bet Spider-Man 2 will be the exact same game and get tons of praise. However I feel people will look back on Starfield and wonder why it was hated on. I've heard it's not truely open like other Bethesda games. Every Bethesda game had loading screens between areas!!! The polarizing opinions just goes to show there are a lot of idiots in the world. Wish I could get in my ship and get away.
I’m playing right now and as expected I’m personally underwhelmed. Graphics look like crap other some some parts and it’s janky like most Bethesda games.
Never got into Fallout because it just felt too depressing(maybe a bit too realistic of what our world may look like soon), but loved Skyrim. Super stoked for this game.
There have been moments in gaming where my opinion was totally different from the most noisy gamers, but daam, Starfield haters played a totally different game man. This game alone convinced me to play every Fallout game . The story is captivating and it explodes in the end, the RPG really makes you play however you want , the shooting is good and there’s this general feeling of calm and peace even if there’s so much stuff to do . Space exploring makes the world so tra with this open empty and relaxing areas that separerà the full populated and detailed cities . I haven’t played Fallout and I hated every minutes in Skyrim, all I know is that it’s ridiculous that gamers always complains about the lack of quality stuff in gaming industry and when a brand new IP comes out, they start hating it and go back playing Cyberpunk 2077, which takes 3 years to be finished after the release date.

^ A truly brutal honest summary of Starfield 😂
Listen y'all. Ive played for 30 hours and haven't done more than one story quest. All of the side quests ive done seem huge in their own way. Whether its helping a child bring happiness to a distant space station on a remote planet, or its boosting around a plenet and discovering resources, or its flying my spaceship through a meteor field only to clutch the victory right before dying. I love it.
Its very fun. Lots of dummies hating on it too much
Right there with you. I've played lots of games, and I know what it feels like when one starts getting its hooks in you. This is one of those. There are so many things to do and adventures to be had on individual planets. Now take that times however many planets there are? Insane how big this game is. And fun.
Seems like you're an arrand boy in space. Flying a spaceship is so lame. You literally don't move at all through the vastness of space with our fast travel so what's the point? Crashed into a meteor and heard a doink but nothing happened. Lame. This is totally a last gen game.
@@joshuakarmann7488 - Because it has stuff that needs to be called out. The fact that you are so upset that some people are not blindly loving this game is sad.
Also the bad performance issues the bad gunplay which isn't even fallout 4 levels of crisp, the most awful space flying system ever, resources are pointless as is the scanner, just as many people hate the game just remember that
8:35 NPC standing on the table is not a bug. Its a Star Citizen easter egg.
Good one...😂 😂 😂
If there’s something I’ve learned from FromSoftware games is that it’s not a bug but a feature instead. It’s you that lack the skill to go past it 😂
There is an actual bug in the game. The guy jumps up on the table because he is afraid of the bug. It's your job to swap the bug for him, completing the quest and getting mad xp!
07
Thick aren't they
I just got to level 25. I will say it was pretty slow up until level 19 once you figure everything out it is extraordinarily fun! I truly think it’s my new favorite game of all time.
Same
I've been playing for about 14 hours and I loved this game from the start. I spent a lot of that time doing various missions on Atlantis and most of the game has been a pure joy to experience. The striking visuals, the soundtrack, the characters, the missions, and the huge scope of the game set in space.
A lot of this nitpicking and bandwagon bashing of Starfield is ridiculous, particularly since a lot of these haters haven't even played a minute of the game. This whining that Starfield is the "end of gaming as we know it" just because it follows a traditional open world gaming style is asinine. Despite what some people think, there really isn't any radical new way to play videogames of this style. All the great games like Witcher 3 follow the same path. And worst of all are the haters that think just because they despise the game, no one else should enjoy it. Talk about toxic.
There are certainly legitimate gripes about the game. In my case I would say the way the game handles dialogue in a weird "dice rolling" way is mediocre and nothing like the Fallout series. The inventory management and skill tree buildup are two other areas I think could use improving. But overall the game has been an awesome experience for me.
Then you have bad taste. My favorite part of the game was refunding it and playing New Vegas instead.
@@equalityforever302 clearly have the most embarrassing taste of all time lol
@@lyricg8117 Some people like games with nuance as opposed to cash grab loading screen simulators.
Just hearing that Starfield is Bethesda at its best has me completely sold. Both Fallout and Skyrim are in my top games of all time.
Edit: game is amazing! Exactly what I was hoping for and more. Loving it! The people criticizing haven't even played the game for themselves.
For me its fallout 4 and no man's sky 😅😉
Same, brother
Same 100%
You're that easily sold? No offense, but I'd watch more reviews if I were you.
Same Brother, gonna be Up early in the morning to Play this gem
Honestly dude, as someone who managed to love Cyberpunk when it first came out, this game kinda sucks.
love how online it says game take 19 hours to beat lol. I'm 50 hours in and haven't touched the main quest line.
You really need to do a follow up review…this game has seemed to get worse as you play it more and as you get further away from it.
Are you still playing it? Still thinking about playing it?
I was thinking about subbing to you and Mortismal - but if ya’ll still think this is a great game then I can’t really trust your opinion.
Every game is like that, You get bored of the same repetitive gameplay loop every game has, Its why modding is such a big thing it adds new gameplay loops and more stories, You could also simply of gotten burnt out and should play a different game it happens to everyone.
Maybe for you, but others are still enjoying this game
A cool idea i had for a mod is just modeling more locations to be randomly generated. Ill find out if this is possible when I get access tomorrow. I made plenty of mods for Bethesda games so give me some ideas guys.
Boba Fett Space Suit
LIGHTSABERS, OP FORCE POWERS, AND MILLENNIAL FALCON SHIP!!!
Idk if it's possible, but congruent (I think that's the right word) world generation. Currently there are boundaries for every zone of a planet you drop on to. Every zone on the planet is procedurally generated so if you drop onto the nearest zone on the planet it won't match up with what you saw from the previous zone that wass right next to it. It was procedurally generated when you spawned into the new zone on the same planet. So if there was a way to eliminate that issue, it would be a game changer for Starfield.
@thatguyjoe3649 At my level it's not possible yet, that's not saying it will never happen that was the 1st thing I looked into. Unfortunately as far as I can tell that won't happen for a while. Someone talented will probably prove me wrong.
Edit: it's an issue of how they built the engine around the game.
@@matthewblunderbuss4545 thanks for letting me know, but I hope someone eventually does fix the issue if it's possible at all. And it hurts to see they are still handicapped by that engine.
There are a LOT of reviews out there on Starfield. A number of these 'reviewers' combine fancy, articulate language in an attempt to high string the negativity and downfalls, all while discounting the sheer size of this game, the graphics involved and bringing this together. It's shameful what some have said in an attempt to sound important and fecal on Bethesda; but you didn't do that here! I was impressed with your review and how you handled this with positive optimism along with courteous commentary on the current 'issues'. Wished more dudes would get laid before they spill their diatribe on this game. Thank you for a very well put together commentary: I'll be buying this!
unfortunately, it's been the content creator narrative on bethesda games for a while now. their games are far from perfect but once you watch 1 or 2 critiques, it's the same surface level drivel that completely misses the appeal of these games.
How about 50 planets with more content and less loading screens, and even better graphics.
I love how the smart intellectual people love it and the destructive childish people think it’s trash.
Yeah, this game is not good
@@dragonhalo8975 this game is awesome if you’re a creative person. I’m having a blast playing it and building. You just have to level up. Most games are not too fun at a low level
@@NOVYKATnope, the game sucks as bethesda rpg. Thats why it doesnt break fallout 4 record sales plus the user score also bad for both platform. This game also rated worse than fallout 76 on steam. Thats coming from people who bought the game at 60-100$ price tag btw. There is nothing wrong having an opinion, Theyre not childish if they dont like it. Thats why its called an Opinion
@@sussy_61 they said the same thing about cyberpunk it hasn’t even been out for long. You have to let people give it a chance it’s an amazing game
@@NOVYKAT Cyberpunk sold 8 million before released, 340k refunded and then sold 13million copies in the first 2 weeks. 2 years later, it sold over 20million copies, the price is still above 40$. When the game has good aspect like story, a genuine story, not a fucking fetch quest of 27 boring artifact, people will buy it no matter how buggy the game is and Starfield failed at that. People saw it boring and boom, no breaking record news, just number of gamepass subs who tap play button..
This is the first game since Skyrim that's made me have to force myself to go to sleep. My experience has been amazing and I wish I could shake the hands of all the developers.
This is my first Bethesda game that I'm playing. I own Skyrim and Fallout but I never played them. Starfield is massive and amazing. I spent 7 hours surveying a planet and even after 100% surveying it there were still icons on the planet that I never visited yet. I could see myself putting in 1000+ hours of this game. Im sure after awhile alot of things will get old but thats with any game no matter how good it is. Starfield is very immersive. Going to jail or having a bounty on your head is pretty neat. The game is honestly overwhelming with how huge it is and all of the missions and things you can do. 10/10 from me. It may go up there with my personal favorite games of all-time right alongside games like Ocarina of Time,San Andreas,Kotor,Witcher 3, Snes Zelda 3,Final Fantasy 7 and 12,Super Mario Bros games,RDR1 and 2, Bully.
That’s amazing that you’re enjoying the game this much when all you’ve really done so far is the randomly generated content. This is truly the best Bethesda RPG. Wait until you get into the real game.
Play Skyrim and Fallout instead. Both are infinitely better than Starfield. It's an inferior NMS that is just randomly generated and has shittier facial expressions and worse voice acting.
Dude, play Skyrim and Fallout. They’re way better, and I like Starfield.
@@Dennis-nc3vw So after 405 hours into Starfield I decided to try out Fallout 4. I already have all the DLC and I love it so far. I'm at about 20-24 hours into FO4 and am level 10 and haven't even been to Diamond city yet. I cant believe I didn't start to get into FO4 until now but im glad I did cause im hooked. Im also glad I didn't start out on survivor mode like alot of ppl told me to cause ive already died 20 times on very hard/hard. I cant wait for Starfield to get all the stuff FO4 has like DLC,mods and a creation club cause it's going to be awesome. FO4 does alot of things better than Starfield such as building settlements and role-playing your character,I love how you can make yourself into basically a ghoul and eat human flesh and be a night person with buffed up stats for certain times. The Ai is also much much smarter in FO4 and the game is alot harder than Starfield. I may switch over to survival mode once I've mastered how to play the game. This is my first game that uses mods so easily so I didnt use any mods yet cause I guess it makes it to where you cant get achievements and I wanted to play the base version first since its my first time ever playing a fallout game. I can see myself pumping in 500-1000+ hours into FO4. It really is an amazing game. Ive had both FO4 and Skyrim since they released years ago and I bought them for my step son who is no longer around and I'm a big gamer but never tried those games out.
People hating on this game is ridiculous. They did a great job. 9/10
I agree, the hate this game is receiving is baffling. They act like Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout3/Skyrim are trash too, because this game has the same DNA as those classics, just with some new ideas and a fresh coat of paint
It's quite remarkable how controversial this game is with the thousands and thousands of players and critics (both amateur and pro) out there. I get it that there are some major flaws with Starfield, but such flaws, in my opinion, are overshadowed by an overwhelming amount of impressive aspects.
Bethesda has a bit of a hatedom where the same tired talking points are posted to any video involving one of their games, even if the talking points have nothing to do with the video in question.
This is one of those games where, when people attack it, they feel like badasses sticking it to the man and fighting the power, because it was a game by a big name company with a lot of hype. People like to pretend things suck when they disappoint them. But any game that you play for 10s of hours isn't a bad game, no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise.
People arent used to a deep rpg like bethesda make anymore, especially the young gamers. Pc is where this game will truly be loved
Got it on steam! Can’t wait!
you are now 17 mins closer to playing in 3 hours or so
This comment makes me feel older than dirt.
Yup for real can’t wait for the mods to show up in the Steam Workshop
@@Drewkungfoodo you think modders will make a mod for co-op? If that happens then I'll consider purchasing it
Funny, liking starfield is like saying something political at this point.
It's really a shame
Yeah, it's called a sabotage or negative pr campaign.
The Bug in 8:00 is in Bethesda games since Skyrim... it's been 12 years and Bethesda... Bethesda never changes. ;)
I like these reviews usually but given what we now know about this games performance and the lack of content involved....
This is not a review
It's feels like a bought and paid for copium post because gamers (including me) dream a game like this can work but this one currently doesn't
What do we know about the game? That there are load screens, that there are bugs, that some of the systems aren't clear...all things I talk about in the review. It's a Bethesda game, what you see is what you get and I talk about that at length. I don't pretend it's something it's not, but I stand by my statement that it's Bethesda's best game. Review wasn't sponsored, coerced, or forced by anyone other than me, who spent 100+ hours with the game before writing it. You've clearly just made up your mind already.
@@LegacyGamingUS you might be right. I'm in the vocal minority that pretends not spending my money on unfinished products actually matters (and I can admit that's a tad silly)
But I'm watching review after review of people shilling this game to the public. I'm actually trying to convince myself to want it sooooo bad and can't.
I apologize for the accusation, I should not have made it. My point is less about you and more about gaming companies abusing our FOMO to put out subpar content
I've been playing SC and Ed since 2014. This game has everything I want and I feel at home with NPC's standing on tables. Starfield will be my go to space game for a long time.
Sorry, idiot here, I'd like to ask what SC and Ed stand for?
@@Emanon616 Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous.
Bethesda hooked you up so you’re shilling for them. Got it.
Here’s the truth, Starfield is good. It’s not Bethesdas best game. With updates and mods it could be truly amazing. Right now, as it stands, no.
I got and paid for my early release copy all on my own so no shilling required.
You literally have zero understanding of how the industry works lol. Every single creator or press outlet requests their copy of a game for early review. That's it. Nobody is beholden to anyone, and if anything was paid, that all has to be legally and publically disclosed. Just because you dont like something, doesnt mean others dont as well. Dont question our integrity just because we dont agree with you.
@@LegacyGamingUSyeah gl getting next game for company if you shit on it 😂
Wild because we criticized Redfall and Gollum for being awful games.
Here is a real brutally honest review. The game is a choose your adventure story book with awful, unmemorable combat, terrible AI that never seem to care you showed up to your job interview in a flight suit, etc and the quests are boring and repetitive. It has a massive inventory management overhead with one of the worst inventory systems ever implememted.
I mean 160k views and 5k likes says it all, you dont know what a good game is. If this is the best Bethesda can make they should stop making games. I mean space travel in Freelancer from 20 years ago was better, combat felt better, and the conversations with the npc couldnt have been done with less love. I played this an hour yesterday and it started ok with the mining company, they give you a meaningless task, and suddenly the drama kicks in, what a shocker. Dialogues feel meaningless and empty, like you just play a recording. BG3 was way more engaging from minute 1 and i didnt wanna stop, Starfield made me want to go to bed to make it stop 😂
Well it was opposite for me. Starfield engaged my mind with its copious amounts of gameplay systems and baldur’s gate couldn’t keep my attention with its boring and clunky gameplay systems.
Furthermore, none of the other space games you’ve mentioned held my attention either. This game is fantastic, and now that mod support is here, it’s even better
Starfield is a great game. But I would have changed a few things.
Obviously less planets. The empty planets arent a major issue. But the map was so annoying to navigate cos there was to many planets to scroll around. You would have gotten the same result out of 20 solar systems instead.
Mining resources should have been more lucrative. 1 of the reasons planets are pointless is because 1 of the reasons to go there is to mine. But resources aren't worth anything. At the start your in a mining job. How the hell is a business sustainable that can afford several employees, spaceships and outposts but mining resources sell for a few pence per unit. Its actually faster to get materials by doing a quests to make some cash and buying them. They should cost more and sell for more. Make me want to goto planets.
Certain weapon and armour upgrades, should be only allowed on uniques. Like you can put explosive rounds on a regular double barrel shotgun. Its easily the best weapon in the game because ammo is so cheap. This would also make players explore planets to find lootable outposts for these uniques.
That ability thing in the structures. Collecting the fragnents to absorb the power. That was cool once or twice. Every single time just sucked.
Also if they had far less planets they wouldn't need to tell you where they all are. This would have expanded the exploration way more.
The UI is annoying. You should be able to have the container on the right and you on the last. Details in the middle.
Everything else, BGS has addressed.
If you go into Starfield for its quests and customizable stuff then its great fun. But if you wanna explore a massive open world then I would say stick to Fallout or Skyrim. I do recommend giving Starfield a go but don't let other peoples opinions give you a negative perception on the game. Clear your head of the negative and positive opinions and just go into it for a casual bit of fun. Allow yourself to relax and be emersed into its quests. Try out all the factions and side quests. There is bound to be some you enjoy.
‘ Biggest game I’ve ever played’ signs of someone who’s never played elite dangerous
Completely different type of game other than being set in space. One is more of a space simulator, one is an adventure, narrative based RPG
How is it that so many reviewers say that the game is a loading screen simulator and complain that the game is basically just a bunch of closed off instances that you load into. Yet this one video praises it like it's something amazing? I have seen no other video that praises the game so much. So what gives?
Todd here, check's in the mail.
1. The amount of loading screens is unacceptable in a game like this
2. No Man's Sky has procedural planets. Starfield used 1,000 planets as a selling point and it should have focused on designing 30-40 planets with more content and explorability.
3. The fact flying in space consists of more loading screens, small scale battles, and not allowing real exploration is a huge loss for this game.
Starfield can be a really fun and enjoyable experience with plenty of content but this is NOT Bethesda's best game. That's a hell of a statement to make there.
This being Bethesda at its best out of the box is exciting. Thinking about when mods hit though, my god sign me up. This game will rob me of my life and soul 😂
You sound foolish
Well said
So excited for the modding potential
Gonna land on a planet and find yourself in Whiterun.
it's an excruciatingly boring game.
Fallout Vegas in space without VATS, basically all I ever wanted.
I think the ship combat has a VATS-like system.
You don’t have to use Vats
@@Archetype_M3T4L This is true. I actually enjoy the way they did it in Starfield, slows down time but lets you fire all your guns at the same time. I just got annoyed at the limited requirements you had in VATS of old games.
Did u play alrdy? Ist a big disapointment for me😢
@@RK-yv9kp Playing right now, I love it. It's not for everyone though, you really have to enjoy Bethesda RPG type games as it's basically fallout in space. The 30fps is annoying (although I'm sure modders will fix that)
MODS! I want MODS! Skyrim started out like this, good game with some bugs, MODS came along and now it’s one of the best games of all time. I’m confident once modders get their hands on this game, all the negatives in the video will get fixed.
I agree. I wouldn't put it past modders to adding seamless planet landing and landing your ship anywhere. Probably will add in planet flying as well
Skyrim is one of the most overrated games of all time, i'm not saying it isn't good but the fucking fanboying about that game is insane
@@Enigmatic.. Skyrim is absolutely one of the best RPGs ever made. It's not a perfect game, & I personally preferred Oblivion, but you cannot deny it's impact & the things it actually got right.
@@Enigmatic..I agree, it's amazing, but I like the RPG of Morrowind and Oblivion. Skyrim just carries you in your arms all the way through.
I want to think of where to go based off little hints and small crumbs of information.
@@hostonyoutube Its okay you can dream about it. It's never happening there are clear engine limitations. It will take few years more until an actual space game is released and not that childish boring game that is No Mans
Great video. This is the best game Bethesda has made hands down, and this is coming from someone who has a full playthrough of ES Arena on my channel, along with hundreds if not thousands of hours in between Fallout 1-4 and Daggerfall to Skyrim. I love reading comments at all the people saying we are paid off, or shills for Bethesda. People just hate to see you love something. Todd should be extremely proud of this game and I hope it wins GOTY.
People who are saying the game is trash are the same people who think Cod war zone is a real game I like war zone but it’s just a shoot and loot there’s no story or ambition this is the biggest exploration game ever made on a galactic scale give the developers there flowers 💐
I honestly wasn't that excited about this before, but from the sheer anticipation I hear from friends, communities, even podcasts I can't help but feel like this is something to not miss out on. I even spent the extra dosh to play early. Things look and sound promising, see you all in the stars and await to hear your tails from your ventures.

Given my favorite games of late have been the open world AC games, and go8ng back through the Fallout games, I'm pretty sure between this and Remnant 2 I'll be pretty happy 😂
Remnant 2 is all that’s preventing me from giving myself to Starfield
The open world AC games????......what are you 12??

I’ve got to go back and play fallout . It’s the only one I never finished but I couldn’t stand having to manage communities .
pls dont lie to the ppl, this game its bored, full of loading screen and whit a emty world to explore.
Dude... Unsubscribed.
I put about 30 hours into the game this weekend, didn't like some of my decisions and put in 4 more hours last night to completely restarting the game. I am not a huge bethesda fan boy, I don't even like skyrim and can take or leave fallout.....however I am having an absolute blast on Starfield and I haven't even accomplished much in the way of storyline. This game is epic to put it mildly, anyone who hates it , that is their choice. While they spend time on the internet griping and complaining to gain social media cred, I will be flying and gunning through space every chance I get. Matter of fact my game is waiting on me right now, have fun out there to fans of the game!
What I really like about Starfield, is that it is among the few games that it is unpredictable. You finish a quest and suddenly there is a surprise at the end that changes the whole thought. You land on a desolate moon and think there is nothing there and suddenly an enemy ship comes and attacks you, almost every mission has a branching into more sub-missions, it's simply amazing how much content and surprises there are in this game. I really don't understand those who claim that the game is boring.
I'm sure you have reasons to think it's exciting. I definitely have reasons to think it's boring. If you ask me what those reasons are, I'd say:
Lifeless writing, flat characters, bland companions, a shockingly poor opening premise, a dull and repetitive main story, broken quest design across the board, a general lack of thematic development and relevance (the game has nothing to say), a total lack of meaningful exploration, no clear and distinctive sense of place, no tonal/moral differentiation between factions, no ability to affect outcomes in the story or in the wider world (except at a couple of isolated points), no fundamental reason to care about the world or anyone in it, unimaginative weapons, poor facial animation, little enemy variety, basic mechanics (which might make the game more fun) locked behind perks... the list goes on, but I'll stop there.
I have over 300 hours in this game according to my Xbox and I have never put more than 20 hours into a Bethesda game before. I hate Skyrim with every fibre of my being and I think Fallout is fine at best. I absolutely love Starfield and I'm barely half way through the main story. I love this game.
I recently found this channel and it turned into my go to form game information. Not only reviews but guides wall throughs and pretty much anything I need. I appreciate you guys and what you do. It's a refreshing change from many of the other gaming sights and channels out there.
Some times i wonder if these cuck type of comments are not made on purpose by the video creator alt accounts
@@xzxxx-km4vy considering how stupid your comment is I can see how you would come to that conclusion.
Sometimes i wonder if hate comments like yours are not made by envious content creators.
Thank you for your smart and, at times, funny, review of Starfield. You answered many of my unasked questions and did it well. I appreciate your analysis.
Glad I could help!
What part of this review was "brutal"?
I think Bethesda Games are definitely for Bethesda Fans so Starfield won’t be for everybody. I have zero doubt I’ll be doing an all-nighter this evening with this one. It’s going to be Epic!
Nope. I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Starfield is a serious downgrade in almost every way. The story makes no sense, the planets are procedurally generated, the non-existent facial expressions, and just the overall lack of real content. Only good thing about it is Barrett. Oh, and the refund. Lol.
There is a give and take. It would be very difficult to have seamless transversal when you can interact with so many objects in the game world.

Cause it doesn't lol.
Why do you people have to constantly make excuses for this game?
WTF is wrong with y'all? Yes, it is nice to look at the positive in life, but you guys are defending and making excuses for every negative aspect of this game.
I have never seen anything like it.
@@TheBatosai Make excuses?
You're asking something that's basically impossible.
All the games that Starfield are being compared to when it comes to loading screens have only a fraction of the subsystems and mechanics that Starfield has. They're not even in the same genre.
Starfield is an RPG with some space exploration elements.
If it even comes within 50% of the exploration fun of NMS or other games that are dedicated exploration sandbox games then that's a HUGE W. None of the space games it's compared to even come within a fraction of the RPG elements.
The performance is not good at all, it's no open world, the menus are horrible, the enemies are spongy, cities are huge but useless, the planets are boring and limited to sectors, nothing gets explained properly.
I could continue this for hours how many things they did wrong. After 20h I'm done with this game. I rather going back playing the newest update of no man sky, which exists since 7 years and does so may things way much better than Strafield. It were only Todd's sweet little lies again.
Really appreciate this review. You've swayed my opinion with your skillful execution of the review. It was both honest and critical, there was praise and critique at the same time. So with all the options weighed I was able to make an informed opinion.
I'm already having flashbacks of building gummi ships in Kingdom Hearts
You didnt even mention that space exploration was clicking buttons and loading screens.
This was a paid review.....don't lie
We literally criticized that the game is load screen after load screen lol. No review or opportunity to play the game is ever paid. We request a review copy, and review the game. If it was paid, you'd see it legally disclaimed that it was paid.
I bought an XBOX SERIES X just for this game bc I’ve been waiting for 3 years or whatever for this. I love it. Was it worth the $500+ I’ve spent on it? Yes. Call me a fool, but I haven’t enjoyed a game like this since NBA 2k13 and 16.
I’ve always wanted to see Star Wars make a game like this but they never got around to it. And I’ve been playing this since Sunday 9/4 (early access) and I’m barely level 16 with like 40ish hours.
Just love it. I’m overwhelmed a lot of times since it’s my first BGS game but man.. I’m absolutely immersed in it.
NBA 2k games? You have strange tastes
Great review. Got into major elements without spoiling anything. Wished all reviews were like this.
Appreciate those kind words. Lots of hard work to get to this point!
We are the best rewiewers out there for this kind of things. Honest @@LegacyGamingUS
@@LegacyGamingUS The hard work have rewards. Regards from Spain
The only thing I don't like is you can't seamlessly land and take off on a planet in real time like you can in No Man's Sky. In Starfield you get a landing cutscene so you don't actually land the ship.
He is kidding
Eh, played about an hour so far free on Gamepass.
Menu and UI looks like it’s from 2010, gun play was ok, nothing special.
Dialog nothing special.
Graphics do not look good. This is NOT Skyrim in space. There is no open world feel, just loading menus. I would probably not feel good if I bought this game.
you said an hour 💀 that ain't shit
Haven't watched the full video yet, but based of the title, I definitely agree. I mean, it's a little glitchey, but that's a staple of Bethesda games. Plus, at least when I'm posting this comment, it's not even a fortnight old yet, and hasn't gotten the chance to update glitches yet (BTW, if you have a glitch where your character doesn't have eyes, you can easily fix this just by quicksaving, closing your game, and reopening.) The ship combat makes me feel completely empty inside, sure, but it's not all too difficult, so worse case scenario, you just have your brain go on autopilot while you brrrrr on some other ships, and continue with your day. Those are the only 2 cons I can think of, and there are so man pros. I mean, there's a double jump. In what universe are double jumps NOT incredibly fun? If not to do some cool trickshots in combat, you could use it to try and push the game to its limits and go places you were never meant to go. I, personally, absolutely love flying over my enemies, reigning hell fire from above like goddamn fighter jet, especially on some of the more low G planets. I also love a lot of the more cyberpunk aspects, such as Neon and stuff. Neon really makes me *feel* like I'm in the future, what with all the corporate corruption and the entire planet being flooded. I would like to point out that Mars has not, in fact, been terraformed, and I would like Todd Howard to fix this immediately. There are no thermonukes on the poles, and I have not seen a hint of the colors green OR blue. Bethesda pls fix. Thank you for your time.
I've been gaming since gaming began and I thought this game was going to be THE space game.
I've played up to level 85 so that means I've played hundreds of hours to give the game the best possible chance before I make an opinion.
All the hype, all the bullshit promotion that Bethesda put out before release about immersion and a 1000 planets to explore is a lie.
Ninety percent of the planets are barren with nothing on them. You cant explore a single planet because they are not "planets" at all. They are mini maps that cover a certain circumference, once you reach the a certain distance you come to an invisible wall.
You can take off and land in a different part of the same planet and its the same bullshit.
When in space you cant fly round the planet or fly nearer to the planet, its just a flat picture. You are in a mini bubble and not at all connected to space or the planet in front of you.
The game is infected with load screens whether in space, getting off your ship, going through doors the list is endless.
There is no immersion what so ever its just a glorified shooter with bubbles and mini maps all over the place.
You may love it to begin with but after awhile you realize its a boring repetitive rip off.
There's bugs all over the place and the dialogue is dated and boring. I've been to every planet and star system and what you get no matter where you land is a cave, a science outpost, a fracking station, landing site etc. They are the same for EVERY planet !!
I feel I've wasted my money and time on a game that is the worse game from Bethesda and they should be ashamed of themselves for portraying such a game for profit and greed.
If you enjoy the game then all is good for you.
Regards.
Well written review. We have to remember this is based off the same engine in other games that require a load to enter a building. Of course I wish it was seamless, but I never expected it. Overall the game sounds like what I wanted and expected. Looking forward to checking it out.
I serious doubt other engines could do what the creation engine do and not require things to load is possible.
We do also have to remember even for SC and NMS they do have loading "walls" as well for something like going from planetside to space they simply hide this transition process behind gameplay mechanics and art. The genius there was hiding that transition from players during a "playable" moment.
It doesn’t matter what engine they use, with our current technology a game this big without loading screens is impossible. Besides, the game isn’t based off of the same engine, it’s built on CE2, all other games we’re using CE1, this is like saying Unreal engine 4 and 5 are the same thing.
@@PastPositive chief at least hide the loading screen behind something thanks, not just literally use LOADING where are we in 2005 or what. And dont tell me this crap "with our current technology" because thats literally untrue, with current technology it is possible to not have them at all. As some comments are saying "Bethesda games always feel a few generations behind." I dont know how someone can play like that, loading after loading it would drive me nuts its comparable to internet lagging.
@@TheBlakamon15 they certainly aren't moddable like it.

Finally someone who says it
Get a room geez
Bethesdas best game? I dont see how you can say that with a straight face. Might be your favorite , and thats just fine. But you call it the best theyve done is simply not true
I've been replaying FO4 all week to get firmly in the Bethesda mindset. This review sounds exactly like what I wanted to hear. Huge Bethesda fan since Morrowind 20 years ago. Arcady space combat (Great, I don't want to adjust to flight sim mode in the middle of my RPG), combat not as intense as COD (Great, not looking for the stress of multiplayer FPS games). Explore, build, discover, extract, that's what I'm looking for. 5pm can't come soon enough!
same feeling! morrowind is probably my favorite game ever (or KotOR), and to have 2 true successors come out within a month of each other after nothing for years... crazy
Man im so conflicted. I hear the game is bad and buggy and the devs lie about stuff. Then i watch this video and its giving high praises and gets me hyped. Guess ill just have to wait until it comes out on gamepass and see for myself.
The people shit talking do the bare minimum in the gsme and just want it to fail. This game is amazing. 8 hours in and I’m still in the starting zone

Much appreciated!
About what you said about the load screens.
No...When I play No Man's Sky, and I will never see a load screen.
I'm seriously unimpressed, I bought this game already from a different company a while back.
I refreshed your page as I knew this video was about to drop :D looking forward to checking it out, very excited about Starfield!
Love you brother, good to see you in the feed. Congrats on all the success with Palia. Once I get around to playing I know EXACTLY who I'm checking out.
@@LegacyGamingUSthanks man, you guys are absolutely killing it with Remnant and Starfield content these days. The success is very well deserved!
What are you doing in space? A new settlement needs your help, I'll mark it on your map
Great review man, I agree with a lot of the stuff you said. My only disagreement comes with the combat. I found it really smooth and ridiculously fun. I think the only way to improve it would be to add a key or button to switch quickly between 2 weapons and a melee (fists or knife). The radial thing they have is decent, but it does break the combat loop a little. Loving this game so far
There is the favorite button in the inventory, it lets you switch between weapons mid fight.
It’s crazy y’all like a unfinished piece of shit. I’ve played more games you could think of and jumping into this game was the biggest disappointment. NPC are ugly and glitchy, worlds are boring and bland, quests are all the same generic crap. If you still have not bought this game congratulations. You’re one of the few who don’t have to cope and say it’s a good game because they spent $100.
I wish we had 100% control of our ship when traveling and landing, but at least it will keep Star Citizen relevant for me still 😊.
Star citizen hasn't really proved anything tho. Can we stop acting like it's a game worth mentioning
They've proved a lot. The tech they already have in place no other game has been able to replicate still, especially at that level of fidelity. That's just the objective truth.
@@LegacyGamingUS like what exactly? The “game” hardly runs. Many other games have already surpassed what used to be amazing graphics exclusive to star citizen. Sure it might be the closest thing to a seemless open universe experience. But what’s the point in that when there’s nothing to do in it or do things available in every other space sim? And when seemless-ness can be achieved with creative loading screens and culling techniques? Star citizen has fallen behind! The only thing great about it are the ship interiors. Which cost hundreds of real life dollars to even obtain permanently. (Previously, hundreds of irl dollars were the only way to obtain the ships at all).
Everything will be obtainable permanently ingame when they are on a build that doesnt require a wipe going forward. That is essentially after server meshing. The game is buggy, absolutely, but that's because it's an in progress alpha. That being said, we've had sessions lasting 12+ hours with no bugs or performance drops. It's all dependent on server health. In terms of graphics, Gen12 was just added in for rendering, and Vulkan is coming soon for global illumination and an overhaul to the graphics. They are actively keeping it looking good, but it's at a pace where appropriate.
@LegacyGamingUS yeah whenever that build will release lmao. An alpha for 10 years is crazy man. I'm just saying.
It's really not based on what they are setting out to achieve and build from the ground up. Check our their Squadron 42 trailer released today, as their single player campaign is officially feature complete and on to polish.
I can't wait to play it tonight. Their Fallout and Elder Scroll games are some of my favorites so this should be great for me.
You like it?
@@jeffbrossard163 Oooooohhhh yea. Most people are disappointed you can't fly straight down to a planet...but if you're looking for Fallout/Elder Scrolls in Space it's a ton of fun. I'm playing on PC so it runs very smooth and looks amazing. Series X version is absolutely playable but the difference in quality is very clear when i tried it. Hopefully Series X gets a quality update in the future. Btw...I'm level 9 and I'm working with space cops right now called Freestar Rangers. Sunk 4 hours into this quest it's just a side quest. Soooooooo much to do.
@jabopro thanks brother I just hot it for free on pc... hehehe
its only fun if you like this kind of style like space....
This will easily be my favorite Bethesda game. I love the nasa punk style and sci fi is my favorite.
Oh the review Embargo is finally lifted. Like six hours for release. Thanks Bethesda. Very cool
September 1st is the early access launchm official launch isn't till the 6th. Most who care about the reviews probably didn't/wouldn't decide to pre order based on reviews. Those waiting on reviews are more likely to play on game pass or buy after release, maybe during a sale.
You don't even have to buy the game, it's on game pass 😂
@@TheSwayzeTrain not everyone already has it, nor wants to download it. I know quite a few people who don't manage storage well, and don't have space for something they are wishy washy on
the reason they don't want you to have SHIPS and vehicles FLYING way tooo fast..
It's Starfield... not Vehicle Field..... you walk around jet pac HOURS AND HOURS... RPG shit... then land another content, or on top of planet, or mine area.. AND then when finished with that PART you hop in ship MAP and go to NEXT continent on PLANET...
once DONE... or bored.. YOU HAVE 1,000 PLANETS to EXPLORE and LAND MANY MANY POINTS OF LANDING... that is AMAZING!! when you take in effect OF GRAPHICS/ STYLE/ WEAPONS/ TALENTS/ SHIP COMBAT/ SHIP UPGRADES / CREW upgrade/ PLANETS exploration and SOLAR SYSTEM exploration WITH quests more than any BGS game.
That is starfield. Jesus.
I've spent hours building mechs in Armored Core VI so seeing how similarly-in-depth you can make your ships in Starfield makes me realize how I'm gonna lose even more time customizing my ship lmao
So diff then ac6 it’s not even funny but both are great games. That’s the only thing that’s the same 😂
@@loganmclaughlin8356 yeah they're definitely completely different games, I'm just saying both have insane levels of customization
What do you even need a ship for?
@@ninjadog9346 Ship combat, of which there is plenty. Docking with enemy and derelict spacecraft. Modification modules such as industrial workbenches, reasearch stations, food manufacturing, pharmacological manufacturing, armour modification, shielded cargo bays for smuggling contraband, passengers quarters for ferrying clients and more. You obviously know very little about the game, it's literally a flying home base.
Wow its quite surprising hearing this from Legacy. It's soo bad I must admit sony boys were right once in a century.
Lots of lipstick on that pig. I like this channel but that was some grade A salesmanship.
Brutal and honest you sure about that 😂😂😂 How low the standards for some people are... No wonder companies ship out broken empty games 😢
I have about 50 hours in the game. I agree with you completely. I have finally gotten to the thing featured at the end of Starfield Direct and I have gone down the rabbit hole of one Faction story line that could have been the main story of Starfield it is so long, deep and compelling.
One thing I will say is that the ship editing system is worth learning a bit early on. One of the big issues in the game is storage space in your ship. If you tinker with your starting ship by adding cargo addons, adding engines, and improving you power core (I forget what it is really called), you can literally tipple what you can store on ship. Slap on one more laser of the same type you are already using and you are also better at fighting. The nice thing is, it is shockingly inexpensive to do this. For those willing to try this, just remember you can only use ship parts marked as Class A. B and C require skills you will not be able to get until much later.
Good thing I got that big house from the beginning
@@gamersinger5118 I did too, unfortunately it is empty and you have to craft everything you want to put in it and that all requires materials. Lots of materials.
@@abraxis59
Haven't gotten to it yet. So I will figure that out when I get there.
Guess I need to persevere. I am really struggling to stay interested. Only played for a few hours so far. Feels really dull.
And that's a fair take. The game has more content than most previous Bethesda titles. Issue is, when put in a space setting and spread across roughly 800 locations, it feels underwhelming because of how much traveling you need to do between content pieces.
You mentioned a few things that damn near kill the hype for me straight out.
Walking across a planet for ages instead of using a ground vehicle of some kind... or FLYING in your SPACESHIP!
Lack of seamless is really disappointing. Plus invisible barriers are awful. Also the space physics had better be legit (more or less).
For $70 starting it looks like I'll be waiting for patches, updates, DLC news... etc
I mean all of these negatives were also known about for months (minus the invisible barriers one, but having played games like Star Citizen and No Mans Sky, we could immediately tell this was how planet exploration would be when they said things would procedurally generate on a planets surface. That immediately screams localized chunks)
😂😂😂 immediate unsubscribe for this review. Microsoft shill
/wave
I keep hearing people complain but I don't get it. I can't put it down
Im about 20 hours in and so far starfield has been amazing.
You are mentally ill.
Have fun huffing thet copium
6:30 I never even walked far enough to encounter that. Honestly I don't think it matters because you can just land somewhere else on the planet to generate more stuff or go to another planet.
Man it's been such a pleasure to watch yalls channel grow over the last year, you guys are killing it and deserve all the praise you've been getting! Tha KS for the content, cheers 🍻
Comments like this keep us going man. We work our asses off day in and day out and your kind words really help light a fire under our ass to keep going and keep pushing for more
Don't trust this review, this is probably the worst of their games I've played. The universe feels empty, you will literally hit thousands of load screens during gameplay, the perk system is arduous, the ship build system is illogical (you can't share ship parts? Dumb), many things take forever to accomplish and have no real payoff (outposts).
The only issue I really have with it (and its a pretty big issue) is the exploration. You dont really have the unified experience where you can just walk in a direction and find something/someone interesting... I think setting it on a single solar system with 6-10 bethesda DLC sized hub worlds that are varied and interesting where you can legit just walk around & explore would have been better. Between those worlds could be space you can fly around in and explore with actual take off/land mechanics like no mans sky
My brutally honest feedback is this: I am anoyed. Annoyed that space travel does not exist in this game, just some clicks on a starmap. Annoyed that my smartphone has a better voiced AI than a robot build 275 years into the future who sounds more like a 64 bit voiced sound card on a Commodore computer from 1980. And it took me only 2 hours of gameplay to notice these.
And no free look around your ship? You are stuck with the view your ship is heading to .... like wtf??? Seriously no one sees this as a big minus in a space game?
100% agree. It’s their finest game for sure. A LOT to do and get used to but AMAZING. I can’t imagine the modding possibilities.
My ONLY gripe, and it isn’t a gripe, is that it’s TOO MUCH too fast.
Also the background NPCs don’t look great but mods will fix that in a few months. And I understand why they did it. To lower poly counts for frames.
He amazed me how the community accept a game with alot of issues, contents problems and repetitive, bad IA, to just “wait for the community to fix the game for the developers”, in 2023 and after Microsoft acquisition, for me, this is simply unacceptable.
I cant believe anyone is happy about a space game without space exploration. More todd lies. Are people just too sad to admit theyre stupid for pre ordering and getting grifted again?
Bethesda realised its fan boys will defend anything at this point even up too pre orders like fallout 76 conning thousand, massive bugs in realeases, taking detail out of games and selling it as DLC and literally lying about whats in thier upcoming games.
The only people defending Bethesda have already pre ordered and are on hard cope mode.
Bethesda will hope modders fix it for them again.
I agree, loving it so far 😎 ..not seen any bugs yet since the patches
Really the best game? No even close the NPC race balance is absurd, the meth head looks on their faces is embarrassing. You clearly just ignored the incompetence involved in this game it is absolutely the worst Bethesda game ever created.
Essentially no *outer space* in an open world *space* game. No outer space travel, what?
Todd Howard: "We let you design and build your own ship. And yes, you can fly it."
Fly it, or 'fast travel it', Todd ?
I really wish they would stop stripping out the rpg elements from their games, but I'm sure modders will put that stuff back in. Just hate the industry trend of giving us dumber games with flashier stuff, especially the traditionally nerdy and proud of it RPG games.
I keep looking for fun reviews and stuff, But it seems like I'm playing some other game, Because I absolutely love this game! A ton of people have given it bad reviews (I could care less) however I feel like I am experiencing a masterpiece that other people just aren't seeing!
I am really enjoying it too. - 94 hours in and still no where near finished with the game. I do not understand the negativity surrounding the game and it has made me question the value of reviews/other people's views. if you enjoy a game, just enjoy it, do not worry about what other people think.
Finally someone smart!!! So many people I used to respect their opinons have hated on this. I think that's just the hit thing right now is to hate on Starfield. I bet Spider-Man 2 will be the exact same game and get tons of praise. However I feel people will look back on Starfield and wonder why it was hated on. I've heard it's not truely open like other Bethesda games. Every Bethesda game had loading screens between areas!!! The polarizing opinions just goes to show there are a lot of idiots in the world. Wish I could get in my ship and get away.
It's totally NOT Bethesda's best game, and 100 hours ain't much time in a RPG. It's average at best, we've seen all this before.
The companions are a snoozefest and so is most of the quests. Idk how this is better than Skyrim or Oblivion. Fallout 4, sure, that was terrible too
I’m playing right now and as expected I’m personally underwhelmed. Graphics look like crap other some some parts and it’s janky like most Bethesda games.
Never got into Fallout because it just felt too depressing(maybe a bit too realistic of what our world may look like soon), but loved Skyrim. Super stoked for this game.
There have been moments in gaming where my opinion was totally different from the most noisy gamers, but daam, Starfield haters played a totally different game man.
This game alone convinced me to play every Fallout game . The story is captivating and it explodes in the end, the RPG really makes you play however you want , the shooting is good and there’s this general feeling of calm and peace even if there’s so much stuff to do .
Space exploring makes the world so tra with this open empty and relaxing areas that separerà the full populated and detailed cities . I haven’t played Fallout and I hated every minutes in Skyrim, all I know is that it’s ridiculous that gamers always complains about the lack of quality stuff in gaming industry and when a brand new IP comes out, they start hating it and go back playing Cyberpunk 2077, which takes 3 years to be finished after the release date.
