@@ApostinatorI mean you can be mad but it’s a bsg game that’s why, this game should still be hype by this point and yet it’s not, it’s worth talking about how this game gets less attention than skyrim by this point from bsg
My Skyrim's modded to have Daggetrfall traits and 3rd era signs and classes, I always make my character faster. The slow loading is annoying as all hell.
"Just turn your brain off and you'll enjoy it" is such a stunted and fundamentally insane argument when choosing how to spend your free time. We have WAY too many media options, and with MANY of them, we don't Need to turn off our brains to enjoy them. We can have standards and still enjoy a great number of games without having to turn on our "stupid switch". Forcing yourself to NOT be critical to enjoy something is like pissing on your own free time while simultaneously enabling lazy game development. Just do things that are actually uncompromising. Your short time on this earth is worthy of high standards.
How is that fundamentally insane? There are many, MANY people who prefer to spend their free time by turning their brain off and engaging in monotonous activities. It's therapeutic for a lot of people. Just because you don't understand the preferences of others doesn't make it fact. You are not the judge of how someone choose to spend their time on this Earth. Focus on yourself.
@@kuraee if you CHOOSE to lower your standards by literally hobbling your own ability to discern actual quality, yes. That's seriously troubling. Have standards, use your time with meaning and intent. Criticise and scrutinize how you spend your time, we have one life and theres NO shortage of choices how to spend it. We don't NEED to compromise, and enabling lazy game studios is detrimental to all of us. Have some fucking scruples.
@@kuraee are you kidding? having to turn your brain off to enjoy something should be an insult, not treated like some sort of persuasive argument. even while doing monotonous things, like knitting as a hobby or exercising, you are getting something out of that. a game is ultimately a waste of time (i love games btw). you need intrinsic value. having to "turn your brain off" immediately robs you of that value. you are now just wasting time. and i absolutely will judge people who give games like this a pass because it lowers the quality of games for everyone.
Haven’t played SF, but for me that part actually has promise.. I wish they had leant into it more by completely deemphasising the main plot and unkillable NPCs.
$7 for a couple hours of content isn't worth it, but $7 for fast food or a coffee is cool though? Lol 👍 okay. Thousands of mods are free, some modders want paid for their work, and Bethesda charging $7 or less for new quests is just fine. Especially when they give so many away for free.
@@ronaldmckee7542 I'm sorry, would you rather shell out $70-120 for a new release and then buy quest-lines for $7 a pop? No reasonable cup of coffee should cost that, and fast food is a waste of money tbh. They're not equivalent in my eyes
Starfield COULD have been so good. That's probably the worst part of it. And I think it would have been much better, had they not made a game with such a huge scope.
@@utisti4976 tbf, depends who was in-charge of making everything PG... There's alot of good elements and lore but most of the execution is bad. Emil has done good work but shouldn't be the lead.
If it was much smaller but handcradted planets, it would have been a banger. 1000 planets is garbage. Imagine like 20 planets but fully explorable with unique locations.
In my mind the scope was never the issue - just look at daggerfall. It was everything else - not enough content, uninspired and poor writing, broken gameplay loops, etc.
The Rover is the example for not fixing an issue, just making the terrible design more endureable. Wich isnt a W by any strech. And paid mods are an absolute no go.
I, too, am fascinated by Starfield and Bethesda. Not so much in a "Admiring and enjoying an art piece" way but more as "Watching the Hindenburg video in slow motion."
Can you hear it? That rhytmic little ticking. Of course you can hear it. You can always hear it. Even when you're not paying attention, even when you're sleeping, it pierces your dreams. You can feel the seconds slipping away. Tiny shards of you being lost forever. Bit by bit. One by one. And one day, they'll all be *gone*.
People are that deprived of good games, now the suggestion is to "flip the stupid switch"... Maybe games are work for Journos, Streamers and LPers. But to the rest of us they're time and money we'll never get back, in the hopes we get entertained. Modern games are slop with little, if any, entertainment value.
@@Lerppunen You prove my point. "Great" games these days pale in comparison to the great and good games of 10 to 20 years prior. Both of those games are slop compared to BioWare at their finest with Mass Effect 1 and 2. Cyberjunk's narrative and characters are pure slop, with it's gameplay being on par with it's contemporaries and uncommon setting being it's only saving graces. You play as a sideb1tch to Silverhand - who is the real protagonist - V is just along for the journey. And the DLC (that everyone falsely claimed fixed the problems) made V a sideb1tch again to the Prez's story. On top of that V is dead in less than 2 weeks and is wasting his time doing any of the side gigs. The Montage that just skips over the character development of and between V and Jackie, and how they establish themselves in their joint line of work. The complete lie that from the Devs that; "it'll be the best open world game ever" and doesn't do any of the things that Saints Row 1/2 and GTA3/4 that pushed open world genre forward. And the Flathead robot trailer being "but this is just 1 mission out of many" being the biggest lie, 'cause that's the only missions like that in the entire game before the DLC. Choosing two games with coomer brained content is also interesting. If those contents weren't in either games, I bet 3/4 the people praising them now, won't if they weren't in the games initially. And compounding the problem, is the frequency of great years per year has dropped significantly. We get 1 "great" game per year (none of which are for me), with cyberjunk and Bear Gate 3, compare that to 2004 were we had over 10 great games (most of this list pushed their respective genres forward) release in 1 year:- Half Life 2, Counter Strike: Source, Far Cry, DOOM 3, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, LOTR: The Third Age, LOTR: The Battle For Middle-Earth, GTA: San Andreas, SW: KOTOR 2, SW: Battlefront, WH40k: Dawn Of War.
My theory as to the rifle not reloading in first person: Bethesda forgot to make a first person reload animation for that specific gun and the game code is assuming that if the animation doesn't play then the player must be out of ammo and therefore doesn't reload the gun.
What? 😂 There’s a variable specifically for player ammo. Why would an “out of ammo” state be tied to whether or not an animation plays vs the variable itself? It would take a lot more effort to program and doesn’t make any sense to begin with. If they didn’t make an animation for it then it just wouldn’t have an animation. Unless they check for an animation and if it doesn’t exist just cancel the reload in general, but that would still have nothing to do with player ammo. I do however think it’s possible that they didn’t make or didn’t import the animation for it.
@@yyyahwehhh I don't know much about starfield specifically, but from what I know about bethesda's file formats it's possible that the exact timing of when ammo is replenished is tied to a keyframe in the animation, so if the animation doesn't play and there's no failsafe at the end, the reload just won't be triggered at all.
I was worried circa... fallout 76/fallout 4. Whatever years those were. Publicly traded gaming companies have their early years, their golden years... and they have the final years of decline. Its a natural cycle. Some live longer than others. Some die....and some take on a form of living death. One day, bethesda might make slot machines in bejing. These arent bethesda's golden years. Havent bought a game from them in...a decade maybe? 😥
The only way I remember starfield exists is when you post videos about it- what a sad state of affairs for Bethesda Thanks for the content as always ♥️
I really liked the game though, but agree with most of the issues people have with it. I just really liked the character focused story telling in SF. Have not really played anything like it since Mass Effect.
@@andreasoberg2021 It wasn't really character focused, all the NPCs are kind of the same, especially the companions, they're just slightly different flavours of boy scout.
but if you wan the full Luke experience filled with laughs and great content you can also watch the first 5 minutes, cause Luke is much better than most :D
Starfield is the best drug in my opinion. Haters are gonna hate. But for me personally Starfield rocks. Period. And the paid quests and gears are awesome! 😎 So sad to see the poor guys crying.😂😂
I do drugs and Starfield same time. Building ships and outposts, fly or drive around a bit, chill music or some kinda sci fi ambient ost in the back ground, high as fuck... Good times/vibes. It needs about 4 building focused dlcs like fallout 4 had.
Those tasteless hard candies that grandmas have in their purse for when the grandson visits, if that was made into a game, it would be Starfield. It is so extraordinarily mediocre, that I legitimately think that Todd just wanted to make a vehicle for people to mod the hell out of. Which is fair enough, mods are usually better than what Bethesda comes up with, but at least be open about it.
They're better than what Bethesda can come up with because they don't bother trying. And have no talent to make games. That's why. They're also banking on the success of random people who need lives (that mod games).
"To enjoy this open wold exploration game with an over arching plot, just turn your brain off and ignore the exploration and plot. Oh and also do remember to buy the quests so you can get the awsome weapons that don't work!" The one person still playing and defending this shit is huffing some strong copium
I started playing this now and one of the weirdest thing that I found out was the fact that my ship can dissapear through no fault of mine and there is no real fix, I still can't wrap my head around this.
A year into fallout 4, they had already released multiple dlc packs, including Far Harbor and Nuka World and announced they were abandoning it to work on future projects. Which turned out to be 76 and starfield.
Starfield base price: $69.99. In a year since launch, Starfield has added for free: topographical maps, a land rover, and fixed some bugs. For additional player money: a quest for a bugged-out gun, as well as other paid mods and quests, and one paid DLC (upcoming). Baldur's Gate 3 base price $69.99 ($59.99 if you bought it in EA). In a year since launch, Baldur's Gate 3 has added for free: a single-save honor mode, a game difficulty editor so you can tailor the difficulty to your preference, a "good ending" full epilogue with multiple variations based on player choice, multiple fleshed out bad endings, massive amounts of bug-fixes, and a mod editor and official mod support for all platforms. Hm. I think I'll just stay with Larian, thanks. Bethesda can suck it. @LukeStephensTV BG3 critique when?
@@Lerppunen but he’s offering no new content, it’s the same rehashed points over and over. Pointless. Didn’t he just try the game again when the vehicle dropped a few weeks ago? So what is the point of this video
1. He never claimed to hate the game. 2. Guys like me are actually very interested in videos like these, since I'm not keeping up with the game's updates so it's nice seeing a video giving us an overall idea of the state the game is in one year later.
I'm very experienced in troubleshooting BSG game mods, im like 90% sure that the problem with the trackers alliance DLC rifle is that its either missing its first person animation file, or the guns data has a typo where it references the first person reload animations. Fixing a problem like that, assuming the first person animations are already made, should be like a 5 minuite job at most if you are even remotely familiar with xEdit. it behaves exactly like guns do in Fo4 when you break/remove the first person animations for them, like installing the "Tactical Reload Framework" mod but not downloading the actual TR animations, you get the exact same behavior, pressing reload either does nothing, or causes your arms to move a bit and then fails to continue the reload, in third person it will reload just fine tho (assuming the references to the default third person animations have not been overwritten anywhere)
You are completely right. I am indeed waiting for something to pull me back in. Until they repair the excruciating repetitiveness of planetary bases, with the same bases a hundred times on every planet, with the same opponents, and the same loot, in exactly the same spots.... until they repaired that, I am not reinstalling, because I have no reason to, and I will certainly not buy any DLC. FIX YOUR GAME, Bethesda.
@@kennykenevil57 it was added like a few months ago, at least. Comparative to the amount of time the game has been out, i wouldn't consider it "recent" personally.
The way I play games, watch movies, or read books is pretty similar to what you described. I mostly enjoy the media I consume because I go into the experience with the intent to enjoy it. I play games and find out what they are rather than what I would wish them to be. Too many people have expectations that are either too much or too specific, and they set themselves up for disappointment. The entire value of an entertainment product is how much enjoyment or appreciation you have for that product. If you only look for what is wrong, which a lot of people who consume media do on a regular basis, then you have already reduced your enjoyment and appreciation for that piece of media, which means you're much more likely to feel cheated or conned. If I buy a game and like it, even with some flaws, I can't really get cheated because I have derived the value from the game I paid for, regardless of outside opinions. I see very little need to self sabotage my own enjoyment with a lot of pre-release anxiety or nitpicking. As for Starfield, I thought it was fun, I put about 100 hours into it, I finished the main story, and I had a lot of other games to play that I wanted to play, so I went to those. I have Game Pass, so my investment was mostly my time, and that made it even easier to be satisfied with my experience. It's unlikely that I'll spend money on the expansion right away because I have way too many games I want to play between now and the end of the year, and with the way next year is looking, it may be some time before I get back to it unless the DLC is very well regarded.
I would love to see: 1. Radio stations for different factions! (Perhaps download when arriving at capital cities). 👀 The CF could have a ‘pirate radio’ station! - like the raiders in Nuka World. 2. Space flight between planets within a solar system (new tech introduced via a quest). & space POI’s! That would be a game changer for me 🚀 3. Optional slow mo ‘kill cams’, combat / stealth finisher animations, & gore. 🤘 4. Save files with thumbnail images! (like previous BGS games). 5. Codex / Bestiary of *discovered* flora & fauna (with images). 6. ‘Space walking' outside our ship & space stations.🪐 7. Puzzles for the Temples! 8. Ability to swim underwater!, submersibles, & an underwater city / faction in a DLC expansion. 👀
@@korruptwisdom8688 I'm not real familiar with that mod yet but I see what you're saying I just think having seamless gameplay between planets is not something the engine could support.
Wish Bethesda never wasted their time with Starfield. I barely even remember the "story" and it's only been a year. The game had nothing interesting or new to say in the story and the gameplay wasn't fun or engaging enough to be worthwhile. Ironically, I think the best part of the game was the Ryujin storyline, but I think I only liked it so much because it reminded me of Cyberpunk lol.
RPG fans should stop asking what bethesda has never offered,BRPG never had any good story,they are build to make surprising quest line and immersive open world
@@wubi3427 their stories have never been the best. but all of them to me have been very memorable. id say every entry the story gets weaker and weaker. fallout 4 story was not great. but man i remember so many good moments from that game. from the intro, "we are the brotherhood of steal", meeting father. all that has stayed with me. where starfield i dont remember a single thing i did
Honestly I'm in the same boat. despite not playing, nor wanting to play games like concord, Starfield, suicide squad etc I have a have an innate curiosity and fascination in these videos and the happenings of these games so I appreciate you for spending the money so I don't have to😂
Is it??? Or are you so young you don't remember when games lasted 3-4 yrs at a time. Now, this EA bullsh*t way of releasing every 11 months has ruined the game industry.
00:20 ...just so you're aware, the "Laser Turret" on-top the REV-8, also doubles as a mining tool [ores]. I'm 100% on board with critiquing Bethesda, but we need to make sure that we're critiquing them for things that actually need to be addressed and prioritized. Nitpicking, though anyone is allowed to do, isn't very useful or helpful, we already have enough glaring issues for a legit 38+ minute video. ☝🧐
at 13:40 when talking about why the reload works in 3rd person and not first person. It may be possible that the game isn't reading the first person animation or it simply is missing from the mod. Typically for Bethesda games they animate first person and third person separately because some more complex 3rd person animations can be jarring in first person. Like a spin attack or roll for example. My guess is the modder forgot to plug in a first person animation for the reload in creation kit.
to be fair, anyone with half a braincell, knows Starfields vision was severely cut down for the Series S (RAM limitations).. ... & they lost time optimising it for the Series S .. ... tltr: in Starfields issues are likely not what Bethesda envisioned, and many issues are due Xbox acquiring them (and all that came along, especially the Series S part..) ... definitely also too ambitious with so many planets (but they might have been more engaging, complex & fun to explore with 50% more RAM.., besides less loadingscreens, ship take offs, etc.) ... so putting it all on Todd isn't fair (same as F76, .. that's Zenimax wanting part of the live service,instead of letting them finish the F4 DLCs)
Meh, im enjoying this game. Its fulfilling my childhood fantasies of starships and planetary bases and crews. When i was a kid i would build my own ships and bases with legos, i would place my bases and ports in my room and in the kitchen, and when i go to the kitchen to get snacks i would bring my lego starship with me, making this woosh and ship sounds as i “fly” and land in it in the kitchen base and i would fill my lil ship with said snacks and candies and whatever, launch from the kitchen spaceport and “fly” all the way back to my room base. Starfield has a LOT of valid criticism sure, and it definitely has affected my gameplay and i can see why people are mad at it. But i enjoy it honestly.I like playing it on my free time.
My biggest problem is how bland everything is. I had a couple interesting side missions but it felt so one note compared to games like skyrim or fallout. It was just kind of basic ooh rah space positivity via constellation
@@roberthoad7040I love the exploration. It’s my favorite exploration game. So many amazing looking worlds. I think it’s just trendy to hate something because it belongs to xbox
even tho char like sarah morgan / neeva / delgato etc have way more depth then any char in skyrim . even tho the dialogues in this game are very detailed and cover a wide varity of char types ( the sarcatstic space pirate / paladin/ loner etc ) and hence are fun . even tho the core moment to moment gameplay is very good ( the gunplay is enjoyable the ship combat more so ) . but nah just because i have to traverse through 4 max 6 loading screens ( each of which are 1 sec to 2 sec long on most budget gaming laptops much less a series x ) . the entire game is boring 💀💀
@@lastdayer101shoot the same enemies over and over again and complete quests that gave awful rewards. Being completely honest, I had more fun building outposts and creating an xp farm for vytinium fuel rods.
@techgeek123-em7uf I liked the prologue part where the facial animations where mocapped, but literally the moment you make your character, the game just drops off. The facial animations turn to shit, and look the exact same on every single character. The writing just... sucks, to say the least, with plenty of plot holes and contrivancies that would have been so easy to avoid. And again, keeping the Bethesda trend of 'core npcs' so that player choice gets further and further removed is just not a good look.
They tried a new type of monetization: Pay per reload. In their design meetings they could not agree on how to do it. So, they delayed their decision. This is why you can only reload in 3rd person. First person reloading will cost 10 cents, but you can subscribe for unlimited reloading.
I guess it's a "naw" too for Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas or Fallout 4, because in every single Bethesda games ever released, there is also a loading screen each time you open a door, entre in a house, a cave, a dungeon and so on... I mean it's the Creation Engine so it's not surprising and it won't be any different in the next Elder Scrolls.
@@nox8730 Yep, just finished a playthrough on Pathfinder WOTR and well... There are also quite a lot of loading screens in this absolute masterpiece 🥰 And some blame Bethesda to keep using the Creation Engine, but despite all of its flaws, it's simply the best engine in date for modding and it's the only reason why Skyrim is still very popular nowadays.
Anyone having issues with game and mods on Xbox, here is my current work around. Hope it’s easier for yall. Go to creations, load order, tap select, save to bethesda, exit SF to Xbox home screen, select on game icon, delete reserved space, open game, delete all saves under load, open creations, load order, select, restore from bethesda, fix the load order since it shuffles it up a little for some reason, start, disable all creations, start, then re-enable them, exit creations, start a new game, allow start up and all visual glitches to show, save and exit out of SF, open game and those visual issues should be gone and game should be stable. Catch a smile out there. o7

Such an amazing concept. I do really love your Starfield videos because my favorite genre in gaming and movies is things that are space related. This game is far from perfect but has interesting concepts, also, you need plenty of patience and focus to appreciate, but most of all, to enjoy this game at its fullest. Thank you for keeping this game alive in some way, I unlocked all the archievements and finished all quests before going to the Unity, and now that I’m on my second playtrough, I shall do it again. Greetings from Mexico!
I just want to clarify again, the city of New Atlantis isn't separated via loading screens (except for the underground/works/whatever it's called) and actual shop interiors, it's all part of the surface map and it's all continuous: you can even fly away from the city into the wild then around and back into another district (provided you can clear obstacles like city walls). However, there is a tram that *teleports* you to other districts, and even elevators that take you from one floor to another are mostly just teleports. For example you can take the elevator to a penthouse, then jump off the balcony and land on the street below, seamlessly. You can definitely walk from the Business district to the admin district to the residential district and to the park without taking the tram. And you can walk from the subway basement area to the ground level without taking the elevator. Maybe not the actual offices inside the building, that is a separate zone. The same thing happens in several parts of Neon: elevators that just move you around a certain distance in the XYZ axis. All these teleports, however, trigger a loading screen because the engine sucks at this for some reason.
10:23 ...following-up from my previous comment, yes, paid Mods that don't work properly, for $7.00 is the kind of glaring issue we should be discussing. What makes it bad, is that it gives the impression that Bethesda doesn't have their priorities in order. They're already trying to sell us add-ons, when the main product we bought has "manufacturing defects". Fix your game, make sure we can actually play it, and then sell us 'overpriced', 'underwhelming', microtransactions, not before! ☝🧐
Bethesda has to be the slowest developer out there. They take so long to update anything things that would take other devs weeks or maybe days to implement take months.
I love Starfield and put 70 hours into it before even getting deep into the story. I then stopped playing for like 7 months. The rover brought me back and I've been loving it again. This was my key feedback and I'm glad it's back. The story and companion interactions are also really great. Starfield is a victim of it's own ambition and scale. It's better than the sum of us parts.
I bought the $7 quest. My gun also won't reload, BUT if you click fast enough it has infinite ammo. I don't see people talking about that fun bug. Maybe I got lucky. There is also an archaic FOV / camera jumping bug if you equip the reflex sight. This was an early problem the game had with other guns that was patched out almost a year ago. Fun to see it back. I bought the $5 quest. This one was less problematic. However, upon completing it, I discovered I had entirely lost my gravity manipulation power. Turns out part of the quest contains a puzzle with a big magnet, and that magnet probably reuses code relating to the gravity power, causing something to break. So yeah, because I chose to spend more money on this game, I lost an entire power. It's just gone. Money well-spent. Quality work being done at Bethesda. Premium, paid product. Very nice.
I know they didn't intend for rovers to be in the game, but we wouldn't need rovers if there was actually something exciting to see on these planets. You didn't really need a horse in Skyrim because there was always something very close by to check out.
There are 1000+ planets, that is literally what happens with procedural generation. NMS does it the same (but much worse) and yet people lap it up and praise Hello Games.
Starfield is the game that rekindled my love of reading. I barely played any video games after dropping it. 50 hours of boredom, wondering why they messed up the dense worldbuilding they pretty much perfected.
@resolutogamer4859 Fallout 4 Far Harbor gave me hope Bethesda was on track to elevate their writing. And they went with a paper thin multiverse, Starborn and space shouts smh
so why did u spend 50 hours in it then ? also care to explain how quests like us sys def / crimsion fleet / uc vanguard / freestar collective mess up the worldbuilding ?
@techgeek123-em7uf I've played every Bethesda game for hundreds of hours. This is the 1st bgs game I lost interest in. Worldbuilding as in world space. A raider settlement 2 minutes away from a farm that's 2 minutes away from a super mutant camp. BGS perfected "stumbling" into quests and locations. Starfield just doesn't feel as cohesive, and the procgen planets are just as bland as the ES Oblivion dungeons.
7:44 I have no idea why your game load so slow, it take 16s to load but mine only need 4s and i play on a laptop that doesn't even met the minimum requirements on steam
what i love from this game is the ship building part and fly it in space, shoot some lasers pew pew pew and suddenly thw whole galaxy is chasing you until the game crash XD
On a more positive note boys, I played Fallout 76 for the first time, have been playing it for the last 2 months. After around 280 hours I've done every single quest, event, explored every area, watched the seasonal and cut content on UA-cam, literally didn't leave a single stone unturned. It's a fun time if you're looking for a Fallout and/or Bethesda experience to delve into! 6.5/10 is what I'd give it and while it might sound low I personally consider it quite decent. Perfect starting point for anyone wanting to get into Fallout too, the lore and world building through all those notes, holotapes and terminals was insanely rich. Was thinking of starting The Elder Scrolls Online, anyone know if it's any good on consoles? I have an XBOX ONE.
Hm... No. Fallout 76 is by far the worst entry point into Fallout. It is like saying that the best entry point into gastronomy is Mc Donald's... Let's say it is easier to handle for kids. One who starts with Fallout 76 will get used to poo and will never grow to appreciate fine cuisine, and will end up saying that Todd is a genius. Urk... makes me cringe. Taste needs to be educated. THis is what we do here, at school, starting age 3.
@@nox8730Jesus, I've said this before many times but Luke is like one of the chillest dudes ever and his community is full of such hatred-fueled dudes. You guys literally don't deserve him. Fallout 76 is the earliest entry chronologically in the Fallout universe as of today and the world building is factually VERY expansive, objectively the best point to begin, your hate yap is irrelevant.
@@KOTSOSMC2002 No, my so-called "hate-yap" is not irrelevant in the least. You call irrelevant anyone who disagrees with you, which makes you the one "hate-yapping". First obvious fact. Not the last. Disney made plenty of Star Wars recently, and some entries tackled things that happened before the Trilogy of George Lucas. Just because it is about what happens before chronologically does not make them good at exploring Star Wars' lore. Or even relevant. Why the heck do i have to waste my time stating the obvious? Fallout's lore was created in 1996, by Black Isle sudios. EVERYTHING Bethesda has done since then, starting with the infamous Fallout 3, was taking your beloved lore and doing the opposite. Fallout 3 is the biggest mess i have seen in my life when it comes to butchering established lore. It is dreadful, to state it as an euphimism. The proper way to go with lore is starting at the beginning. In 1996. Again, why the heck do i have to waste my time stating the obvious? Nota Bene: i am absolutely not one of "Luke's follower". I stumbled upon his video. Don't assume sh*t when you know nothing, and stop yapping your BS as if it were facts. Thanks. Honestly, this is the one thing that annoys me the most in life.
@@nox8730 I haven't tried Fallout 76 yet so I don't have personal opinions on it, but I don't think it would trick someone into liking garbage. I started with Fallout 4 when it came out and enjoyed it, so eventually I played New Vegas, and I've been meaning to try the original games. If anything, the "lower quality" games in your opinion led me back to what you would consider the best by serving as a good entry point. I also still play Fallout 4 though because despite what I think of some of Bethesda's lore choices, it's still a good game.
@@nox8730 *sigh* Where to even begin with this messy reply. OK, let's see. Let's start by addressing the initial baffling take, that F76 is the weakest entry in the series. Me simply moving my finger over to the left and pointing at Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel just wins the argument for me without me even having to say anything. And that's coming from a guy that literally enjoyed both Tactics and BoS. Say that they don't matter because they're not definitively canon as if that just deletes their existence in real life brother. I dare you. Now the other 💩 one by one, shall we? Yup, it was hate yap and yup it was as a matter of fact quite irrelevant. I wasn't discussing Fallout 76, I was sharing my experience with it and then directly asking people for tips on The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO). You're free to target and/or engage with the F76 take by all means but it is inherently irrelevant to my actual inquiry in the original reply, which is about TESO and TESO only, something that you didn't provide, the F76 hate b-ner took precedent over actual addressing the only question to come out of my comment. Yes, chronological order is almost always the best way to engage with a fresh IP, and it certainly is with Fallout. Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas are the 2 most relevant entries in the series not by their reputations but by their, well, relevancy, mostly due to the Amazon show and their relative recency. If one doesn't care about the bigger picture and only wants the "important stuff" New Vegas and F4 are pretty much the only must-plays for now. Fallout 76 benefits from a similar effect of relevance through recency, by being both the latest entry in the franchise (with the exception of Fallout Shelter Online) and one of the only live service/ongoing ones being of course an MMO in design, which means it's quite literally a product they can actively engage with while it's in a state of aforementioned relevancy and not just reliving past successes decades after release. F76 is the Fallout of today, the one you can join RIGHT NOW without feeling inherently and inevitably outdated or like you're playing catch-up. It provides almost all the world building and lore one might need, with an expansive look into Hornwright, Arktos Pharma Company, ArmCo, Atomic Mining, Garrahan Mining Company, the Nuka Cola Corp, General Atomics, RobCo, Vault-Tec, the Enclave, the Brotherhood of Steel and pretty much literally every major player in the Fallout universe both pre and post war, all present and expanded upon in F76. You play F76 as a newcomer and you know pretty much everything you should know about the universe in question and in great detail. It IS *objectively* the perfect starting point despite your hate b-ner leaning elsewhere, your opinion is irrelevant cause it contradicts a measurable variable, one of quantity, determinable thoroughness and relevancy. I'm not denying "my opinion", you're denying reality, as haters of any overhated game always do. You treat me like a shill for a game I literally gave a 6.5/10 to, a rating that's a point and a half away from absolute mediocrity, as you haters of any overhated game always do. You can't see the middle ground and the truth of the matter in something you don't love, and say it with me, as you haters of overhated games always do. And yes, starting Star Wars from the Dawn of the Jedi storyline in 25,000 BBY, working your way to the Old Republic era and then going into the High Republic and onwards stuff is indeed the best way to experience the lore of Star Wars in its purest form if you ask me. This one is far more debatable and you'd have a ton of arguments to your side for claiming otherwise however, this is in fact a fundamentally more discussable approach. Especially with a much more indecisive canon in comparison to Fallout that's a lot more tight. Saying "everything" with all caps about every Bethesda production being a bastardization surely isn't extremism that shouldn't be taken seriously at all mhm, that's AbSoLuTeLy fair and constructive criticism that needs addressing yes (Automated Irony Disclaimer Alert: It is extremism that nobody takes seriously and it isn't constructive criticism nor worth addressing). No, starting with F1 is not the best way to begin, that is old neck beard "release order cause that was intended ☝️👴" talk, coming from someone that literally started from F1. Chronological almost always has better pacing and offers more consistent world building and that certainly is the case with Fallout. Not one of Luke's followers, one of his followers, doesn't matter. The algorithm knew exactly what type of community to throw your way to engage with and it clearly hit the bullseye.
I’ve just started playing it again for the first time since launch. I think it’s enjoyable. I have my criticisms. I’m about 65hrs into it. Did basically all the faction quests except the Pirate faction so far. The main story is meh but the abilities you can unlock are pretty cool. The ship builder is neat and the gunplay has been pretty solid. Idk it’s not my favorite game but I like it. Fingers crossed shattered space continues to improve the experience.
Beating a dead horse is an understatement, Luke, I really enjoy your content and your personality as a critic but this is actually getting exhausting. I'm tired of videos about Starfield and Concord, but when some good games that deserve videos do come out, you claim that they don't perform that well and don't talk about stuff that I would actually like to hear your thoughts on
Starfield is a game that was made by a studio that got stuck in 2011 and became complacent with the succes of skyrim . They have been left in the dust by Rockstar,CD project red and other studios a long time ago .
cd project red is kind of trash these days, they failed to deliver what was promised in cyberpunk, even what was advertised by the devs themselves just before release.... the DLC and devs basically ignored it as well while pretending they had fixed the game and delivered, when they had not, thats why i didnt pay for the DLC... i just raised the skull and bones flag and im glad i did... it would have only been acceptable as a free update to the base game, though not one that interested me... the DLC is not even worth $1 on sale in my opinion as such i un-installed the DLC, i didnt want to have it installed with the base game as i thought it was that bad, even for free i didnt want it installed on my PC... the modd community has done far more for the game then the actual devs and fixed many of the problems way way way before the devs did as well, infact many of the mods actually did a better job then the devs after all was said and done as well... thats just how lazy project red devs were in conclusion and the standards they set moving forward, which is a shame. Rockstar did okay with rdr2 and gta5, but this was on the fringe of internal policy changes.... hence rdr2 got the middle finger for years after release and still is getting the middle the finger despite updates finally taking place, no major updates to deliver what players have been asking since day 1 have occurred, despite rdr2 online continuing to generate profits post release... meanwhile gta5 is were the 1 man dev team working part time is focused on making the small and lazy content drops for gta5 instead of rdr2 and likewise bringing in the $$$, but no major content updates that need any real work have been added to the game, its all sub mod community level content drops and updates, this is why cheaters are abundant and many issues/wants from the community for both games remain ignored by rockstar despite all the extra money they make from the online side of things, they simple do not care in the slightest... so despite how things were in the past, neither of these 2 have set the bar very high in what to expect for their next release, gta6 will be something im very cautious with, especially as im sure they will be heavily focused on the online experience and milk money, so odds are skull and bones from me, while project red... i doubt i will even skull and bones their next release, eitherway both names are already blacklisted from my wallet, they can only get skull and bones treatment from now on. this is why many crap games still have a player base... the competition and industry standards are below what was set 20 years ago, its also why indie games made with a 1 man army can do AAA graphics these days... AAA has been nerfing everything including visuals for over a decade, so indie has not only caught up visually, many games have even surpassed AAA visually and in gameplay has been better since long ago already, but still remains the underdog due to there being a growing influx of copium addicts and child lemmings with their mothers wallets attached + manchilds, as the population grows and more lemmings etc are exposed to brainless marketing and follow whats popular over whats actually good..
never forget BGS also tried to swindle their biggest fans with the canvass bag that was already paid for. BGS was literally threatened with litigation before they complied. actual scum behavior
Im not exactly thrilled with AAA in general. Ive mainly been playing indie games for the past 10 years. No one has to pay me to talk about the games i love. They bristle with menacing spikes of creativity. They darkle. they tink. If the AAA gaming industry has to have a serious downturn and reinvent itself over the next ten years, thats not a terrible turn of events. I would cheerfully pay for a 70 dollar AAA single player title every week, but i dont want all this online bloat-ware. all the assorted Crystals for the item shop, paid mods, day one dlc and loot boxing. No in the indie side of gaming is trying to bend me over or discuss extemist feminist political ideologies as i travel the pixilated cosmos. Weird... Is this guy a nut job? Is he a rock biter?
Nah b3th3sd4 is just on a different league of tr4sh, they actually tried to sc4m their biggest fans who bought their game with the canvas bags, they were literally threatend to get su3d before they actually complied
yet in starfeild u can have the choice to spare delgato and give him a just end . yet in gta u do not have the choice to spare JHONNY THE PERVIOUS PROTAG WHY ? in skyrim u dont have the choice to spare PARTHUNAX why ? but nah bethesda is stuck in 2011 and hasnt itterated or innovated in the slightest - starfeild hater 2024 . 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Starfield did one thing I am grateful for. It showed that there is an audience for big space games. Gamers like space. I´ve been so starved for new space games for years but in last few years it looks like it is making a comeback a little.
And then Luke returns to No Mans Sky, and nobody sees or hears from him for 6 months... until he shows back up with a survivalist's beard and gives us an update on what real sunlight looks/feels like. 🤣 PS - NMS recently added intergalactic fishing, which even has its own fishing expedition, and it's *awesome*. 🤠 (Being fair, NMS has had disappointments for me... like "dynamic/random" space stations -- they're different on outside while most are still laid out with exact same layouts on inside again, or "ship customization" with the bizarre restrictions there, and wish NMS had the combat of Starfield.)
As soon as I finished the story I uninstalled it and cancelled GamePass. After the initial "woah" of shipbuilding the game became a chore to play, the characters were mostly dull, cities were tiny, planets barren and it took so damn long to get anywhere. I'm sure the game has improved vastly since launch but considering this was the first Bethesda game I ever played I was left super unimpressed
@Jeanssj98 "small towns" you clearly don't know how big some of the skyrim cities were actually supposed to be in lore. Solitude and whiterun alone are supposed to have a population in the thousands. And the imperial city in oblivion is supposed to have a population in the millions. Yes I said that right. MILLIONS. In game it's about 100 people, including the guards. So, no, bethesda has always done this. Your nostalgia is getting ahold of you on this one. Bethesda doesn't like wasted space in their cities. You can explore every building, and every building has a purpose. In games like cyberpunk, 90% of the buildings are just set dressing. Empty husks that are just decoration. One isn't better than the other, they both have their ups and downs. In bethesdas case, the cities look far smaller than they actually should be.
@@subjectdelta17 lorewise starfield planets should have millions and yet they have like 20 people IF that, plus you are comparing games from 2 console gens ago to a 2023 game in the gen of the SSD, starfield having such bad towns (and everything else) is just a joke in itself and bethesda doesnt like wasted space in their cities? bro in starfield everything is wasted, the cities dont have any actual content of value, cyberpunk city is just WAY WAY superior
The feature to be able to mod and upgrade the rover like in the ship building would be epic. I would like to build a manta style veicle like in Unreal Tournament 3.
Is it worth buying? No, This game is not worth my time and money. Satisfactory release, Skyrim mods still dominate and other indie games release, why are we debating thissssssssssssssssssss.
even tho it has better rpg mechanics then skyrim and has the same rpg mechanics that most people try to get via mods in skyrim( talking about in general and not about u specifically ) . for eg house of horros is a very popular mod in skyrim allowing u to get an alternate ending in the house of horros molak bal questline where u can save the vigilant . in starfield u have the option to save the npcs in ever major quest . similarly lets look at parthunax and how u cant save him in vannila skyrim . so if most mods do what starfeild does on its own . how is the game not worth ur time >
The changes that have been made would have been nice at launch. I played for around 100 hours, and enjoyed the quests and missions - until it got boring as the exploration and locations became old fast. None of that has been fixed, so I have not gone back to playing this game.
I am modding this game a lot, and also creating my own mods to improve it. Honestly, the base game does have way too many hiccups and bugs, but I am still able to find joy in it. I'm no fanboy of Bethesda, I just love their approach to exploration where you can walk around and do stuff (even if it's wonky and takes time to get to)... I wasn't too excited about vehicles because it's too hard to traverse maps with it. I get stuck with it more than I'd like to but hey I guess it's free update so no complaints here. Anyway, I'm hoping that with more mods down the line, and more updates/DLC they will improve the game to at least acceptable levels for common players. I'm no ordinary player, as I said, I play this game to enjoy it but also to mod it.
Like the video or I'll force other studios to make games in the Creation Engine.

"Just turn your brain off and you'll enjoy it" is such a stunted and fundamentally insane argument when choosing how to spend your free time. We have WAY too many media options, and with MANY of them, we don't Need to turn off our brains to enjoy them. We can have standards and still enjoy a great number of games without having to turn on our "stupid switch".
Forcing yourself to NOT be critical to enjoy something is like pissing on your own free time while simultaneously enabling lazy game development. Just do things that are actually uncompromising. Your short time on this earth is worthy of high standards.
How is that fundamentally insane? There are many, MANY people who prefer to spend their free time by turning their brain off and engaging in monotonous activities. It's therapeutic for a lot of people. Just because you don't understand the preferences of others doesn't make it fact.
You are not the judge of how someone choose to spend their time on this Earth. Focus on yourself.
@@kuraee That's not what an open world RPG is for. Deep down you know this
This is why when baldurs gate 3 came out for some reason everyone was acting like it is some insanely complex and difficult game
@@kuraee if you CHOOSE to lower your standards by literally hobbling your own ability to discern actual quality, yes. That's seriously troubling. Have standards, use your time with meaning and intent. Criticise and scrutinize how you spend your time, we have one life and theres NO shortage of choices how to spend it. We don't NEED to compromise, and enabling lazy game studios is detrimental to all of us. Have some fucking scruples.
@@kuraee are you kidding? having to turn your brain off to enjoy something should be an insult, not treated like some sort of persuasive argument. even while doing monotonous things, like knitting as a hobby or exercising, you are getting something out of that. a game is ultimately a waste of time (i love games btw). you need intrinsic value. having to "turn your brain off" immediately robs you of that value. you are now just wasting time. and i absolutely will judge people who give games like this a pass because it lowers the quality of games for everyone.

Haven’t played SF, but for me that part actually has promise.. I wish they had leant into it more by completely deemphasising the main plot and unkillable NPCs.

$7 for a couple hours of content isn't worth it, but $7 for fast food or a coffee is cool though? Lol 👍 okay. Thousands of mods are free, some modders want paid for their work, and Bethesda charging $7 or less for new quests is just fine. Especially when they give so many away for free.

Starfield COULD have been so good. That's probably the worst part of it. And I think it would have been much better, had they not made a game with such a huge scope.
Honestly?
Nah, it couldn't have been.
As long as Emil Pagliarulo is still at BGS, their games will *never* be as good as they once were before.
@@utisti4976 tbf, depends who was in-charge of making everything PG... There's alot of good elements and lore but most of the execution is bad.
Emil has done good work but shouldn't be the lead.
If it was much smaller but handcradted planets, it would have been a banger. 1000 planets is garbage. Imagine like 20 planets but fully explorable with unique locations.
In my mind the scope was never the issue - just look at daggerfall. It was everything else - not enough content, uninspired and poor writing, broken gameplay loops, etc.
@@Maitredebo2the potential in procedurally generated RPGs is real, just untapped

Maybe games are work for Journos, Streamers and LPers. But to the rest of us they're time and money we'll never get back, in the hopes we get entertained. Modern games are slop with little, if any, entertainment value.
Great modern games do exist. Like BG3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
@@Lerppunen You prove my point. "Great" games these days pale in comparison to the great and good games of 10 to 20 years prior. Both of those games are slop compared to BioWare at their finest with Mass Effect 1 and 2.
Cyberjunk's narrative and characters are pure slop, with it's gameplay being on par with it's contemporaries and uncommon setting being it's only saving graces. You play as a sideb1tch to Silverhand - who is the real protagonist - V is just along for the journey. And the DLC (that everyone falsely claimed fixed the problems) made V a sideb1tch again to the Prez's story. On top of that V is dead in less than 2 weeks and is wasting his time doing any of the side gigs. The Montage that just skips over the character development of and between V and Jackie, and how they establish themselves in their joint line of work. The complete lie that from the Devs that; "it'll be the best open world game ever" and doesn't do any of the things that Saints Row 1/2 and GTA3/4 that pushed open world genre forward. And the Flathead robot trailer being "but this is just 1 mission out of many" being the biggest lie, 'cause that's the only missions like that in the entire game before the DLC.
Choosing two games with coomer brained content is also interesting. If those contents weren't in either games, I bet 3/4 the people praising them now, won't if they weren't in the games initially.
And compounding the problem, is the frequency of great years per year has dropped significantly. We get 1 "great" game per year (none of which are for me), with cyberjunk and Bear Gate 3, compare that to 2004 were we had over 10 great games (most of this list pushed their respective genres forward) release in 1 year:-
Half Life 2, Counter Strike: Source, Far Cry, DOOM 3, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, LOTR: The Third Age, LOTR: The Battle For Middle-Earth, GTA: San Andreas, SW: KOTOR 2, SW: Battlefront, WH40k: Dawn Of War.
My theory as to the rifle not reloading in first person: Bethesda forgot to make a first person reload animation for that specific gun and the game code is assuming that if the animation doesn't play then the player must be out of ammo and therefore doesn't reload the gun.
What? 😂
There’s a variable specifically for player ammo. Why would an “out of ammo” state be tied to whether or not an animation plays vs the variable itself? It would take a lot more effort to program and doesn’t make any sense to begin with. If they didn’t make an animation for it then it just wouldn’t have an animation. Unless they check for an animation and if it doesn’t exist just cancel the reload in general, but that would still have nothing to do with player ammo. I do however think it’s possible that they didn’t make or didn’t import the animation for it.
@@yyyahwehhh I don't know much about starfield specifically, but from what I know about bethesda's file formats it's possible that the exact timing of when ammo is replenished is tied to a keyframe in the animation, so if the animation doesn't play and there's no failsafe at the end, the reload just won't be triggered at all.
It worked for me in first person after unequipping it once. 😀👍
Bethesda selling their own “mods” as single dlc quests makes me very worried for Elder Scrolls 6!

Well there is a grandma on a starship in the game.
Don't you ever disrespect granny candies ever again! The strawberry one is a classic 👌
They're better than what Bethesda can come up with because they don't bother trying. And have no talent to make games. That's why. They're also banking on the success of random people who need lives (that mod games).

@snickle1980 I play using game pass
A year into fallout 4, they had already released multiple dlc packs, including Far Harbor and Nuka World and announced they were abandoning it to work on future projects. Which turned out to be 76 and starfield.
Starfield base price: $69.99. In a year since launch, Starfield has added for free: topographical maps, a land rover, and fixed some bugs. For additional player money: a quest for a bugged-out gun, as well as other paid mods and quests, and one paid DLC (upcoming).
Baldur's Gate 3 base price $69.99 ($59.99 if you bought it in EA). In a year since launch, Baldur's Gate 3 has added for free: a single-save honor mode, a game difficulty editor so you can tailor the difficulty to your preference, a "good ending" full epilogue with multiple variations based on player choice, multiple fleshed out bad endings, massive amounts of bug-fixes, and a mod editor and official mod support for all platforms.

Fixing a problem like that, assuming the first person animations are already made, should be like a 5 minuite job at most if you are even remotely familiar with xEdit. it behaves exactly like guns do in Fo4 when you break/remove the first person animations for them, like installing the "Tactical Reload Framework" mod but not downloading the actual TR animations, you get the exact same behavior, pressing reload either does nothing, or causes your arms to move a bit and then fails to continue the reload, in third person it will reload just fine tho (assuming the references to the default third person animations have not been overwritten anywhere)
You are completely right. I am indeed waiting for something to pull me back in.
Until they repair the excruciating repetitiveness of planetary bases, with the same bases a hundred times on every planet, with the same opponents, and the same loot, in exactly the same spots.... until they repaired that, I am not reinstalling, because I have no reason to, and I will certainly not buy any DLC.
FIX YOUR GAME, Bethesda.
There are mods that fix those issues. If you are waiting for Bethesda to address those things themselves you'll be waiting a very long time.
How is there a full Triple A Game, that's over a year old, with a gun in it, that cannot be reloaded sometimes and it's still never been fully fixed.
The gun was just added recently, but yeah
@@kennykenevil57 it was added like a few months ago, at least. Comparative to the amount of time the game has been out, i wouldn't consider it "recent" personally.
The way I play games, watch movies, or read books is pretty similar to what you described. I mostly enjoy the media I consume because I go into the experience with the intent to enjoy it. I play games and find out what they are rather than what I would wish them to be. Too many people have expectations that are either too much or too specific, and they set themselves up for disappointment.
The entire value of an entertainment product is how much enjoyment or appreciation you have for that product. If you only look for what is wrong, which a lot of people who consume media do on a regular basis, then you have already reduced your enjoyment and appreciation for that piece of media, which means you're much more likely to feel cheated or conned. If I buy a game and like it, even with some flaws, I can't really get cheated because I have derived the value from the game I paid for, regardless of outside opinions. I see very little need to self sabotage my own enjoyment with a lot of pre-release anxiety or nitpicking.
As for Starfield, I thought it was fun, I put about 100 hours into it, I finished the main story, and I had a lot of other games to play that I wanted to play, so I went to those. I have Game Pass, so my investment was mostly my time, and that made it even easier to be satisfied with my experience. It's unlikely that I'll spend money on the expansion right away because I have way too many games I want to play between now and the end of the year, and with the way next year is looking, it may be some time before I get back to it unless the DLC is very well regarded.

The CF could have a ‘pirate radio’ station! - like the raiders in Nuka World.

3. Optional slow mo ‘kill cams’, combat / stealth finisher animations, & gore. 🤘
4. Save files with thumbnail images! (like previous BGS games).
5. Codex / Bestiary of *discovered* flora & fauna (with images).
6. ‘Space walking' outside our ship & space stations.🪐
7. Puzzles for the Temples!
8. Ability to swim underwater!, submersibles, & an underwater city / faction in a DLC expansion. 👀

Wish Bethesda never wasted their time with Starfield. I barely even remember the "story" and it's only been a year. The game had nothing interesting or new to say in the story and the gameplay wasn't fun or engaging enough to be worthwhile. Ironically, I think the best part of the game was the Ryujin storyline, but I think I only liked it so much because it reminded me of Cyberpunk lol.

The 10 hour video wasn't enough? There's more luke Stephens lore than starfield.
00:20 ...just so you're aware, the "Laser Turret" on-top the REV-8, also doubles as a mining tool [ores]. I'm 100% on board with critiquing Bethesda, but we need to make sure that we're critiquing them for things that actually need to be addressed and prioritized. Nitpicking, though anyone is allowed to do, isn't very useful or helpful, we already have enough glaring issues for a legit 38+ minute video. ☝🧐
at 13:40 when talking about why the reload works in 3rd person and not first person. It may be possible that the game isn't reading the first person animation or it simply is missing from the mod. Typically for Bethesda games they animate first person and third person separately because some more complex 3rd person animations can be jarring in first person. Like a spin attack or roll for example. My guess is the modder forgot to plug in a first person animation for the reload in creation kit.
18:48 "Just ignore 90% of the game and fundamentally change it with mods, then the game is great!" Praise be to Todd 🙏
I think we understand you liked Starfield Luke.
Dumb question but, did they finally add a brightness slider? It wasn’t there at launch and that what drove me away.
bro will NOT stop talking about Starfeild
hes still upset bethesda blacklisted him ig lmao
Bro made a 9 hour video about it
He can't stop talking and we can't stop watching..
to be fair, anyone with half a braincell, knows Starfields vision was severely cut down for the Series S (RAM limitations)..
... & they lost time optimising it for the Series S ..
...
tltr: in Starfields issues are likely not what Bethesda envisioned, and many issues are due Xbox acquiring them (and all that came along, especially the Series S part..)
...
definitely also too ambitious with so many planets (but they might have been more engaging, complex & fun to explore with 50% more RAM.., besides less loadingscreens, ship take offs, etc.)
...
so putting it all on Todd isn't fair (same as F76, .. that's Zenimax wanting part of the live service,instead of letting them finish the F4 DLCs)
but if TESVI is also forced run on a Series S, than the franchise has a huge issue
Its more than the sum of its parts, luke. Just turn off your brain for what you dont like about it and then its more enjoyable.
Easy 7/10, remember?
Meh, im enjoying this game. Its fulfilling my childhood fantasies of starships and planetary bases and crews.
When i was a kid i would build my own ships and bases with legos, i would place my bases and ports in my room and in the kitchen, and when i go to the kitchen to get snacks i would bring my lego starship with me, making this woosh and ship sounds as i “fly” and land in it in the kitchen base and i would fill my lil ship with said snacks and candies and whatever, launch from the kitchen spaceport and “fly” all the way back to my room base.
Starfield has a LOT of valid criticism sure, and it definitely has affected my gameplay and i can see why people are mad at it. But i enjoy it honestly.I like playing it on my free time.
Turn your brain off to the story, exploration, characters , and glitches , you can have a good time
I like the story and the gameplay
My biggest problem is how bland everything is. I had a couple interesting side missions but it felt so one note compared to games like skyrim or fallout. It was just kind of basic ooh rah space positivity via constellation
hahahah so... everything
Turn off the game at this point not my brain
@@roberthoad7040I love the exploration. It’s my favorite exploration game. So many amazing looking worlds. I think it’s just trendy to hate something because it belongs to xbox
the biggest problem with Starfield is that , everything you do , is so boring and not interesting.
What did you do in Starfield?
even tho char like sarah morgan / neeva / delgato etc have way more depth then any char in skyrim .
even tho the dialogues in this game are very detailed and cover a wide varity of char types ( the sarcatstic space pirate / paladin/ loner etc ) and hence are fun . even tho the core moment to moment gameplay is very good ( the gunplay is enjoyable the ship combat more so ) .
but nah just because i have to traverse through 4 max 6 loading screens ( each of which are 1 sec to 2 sec long on most budget gaming laptops much less a series x ) .
the entire game is boring 💀💀
@@lastdayer101shoot the same enemies over and over again and complete quests that gave awful rewards.
Being completely honest, I had more fun building outposts and creating an xp farm for vytinium fuel rods.
That's because you haven't played the game.
@techgeek123-em7uf I liked the prologue part where the facial animations where mocapped, but literally the moment you make your character, the game just drops off. The facial animations turn to shit, and look the exact same on every single character. The writing just... sucks, to say the least, with plenty of plot holes and contrivancies that would have been so easy to avoid. And again, keeping the Bethesda trend of 'core npcs' so that player choice gets further and further removed is just not a good look.
You said starfield is broken at its core and can’t be fixed what’s the point of going over it.
Your philosofical sidetrack is a spot on assessment of how oh so many software - and probably beyond - products go down the gutter even before launch.
This game came out a year ago? Jesus.
And I'll never pay full price for a game again.
They tried a new type of monetization: Pay per reload. In their design meetings they could not agree on how to do it. So, they delayed their decision. This is why you can only reload in 3rd person. First person reloading will cost 10 cents, but you can subscribe for unlimited reloading.
I’m tempted to re-install Starfield every few months, then I think about all the loading screens, then go, “naw”.
Did that exact thing yesterday lmao 😂😂
I got the game for free when it launched, but never actually bothered installing it.
I guess it's a "naw" too for Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas or Fallout 4, because in every single Bethesda games ever released, there is also a loading screen each time you open a door, entre in a house, a cave, a dungeon and so on...
I mean it's the Creation Engine so it's not surprising and it won't be any different in the next Elder Scrolls.
@@lekillerfou Facts. I don't really get the annoyance, either. I don't mind loading screens. All my ISO RPGs have had those for the longest time.
@@nox8730 Yep, just finished a playthrough on Pathfinder WOTR and well... There are also quite a lot of loading screens in this absolute masterpiece 🥰
And some blame Bethesda to keep using the Creation Engine, but despite all of its flaws, it's simply the best engine in date for modding and it's the only reason why Skyrim is still very popular nowadays.
Imagine if Tod Howard actually watches all of your videos about Bethesda, and whenever you mention him, he quietly says a blessing in your honor.
I just tried reloading it on Stream on @LukeStephensLIVE and it worked... So F me I guess, idk why it works sometimes and not other times... lmao

Such an amazing concept. I do really love your Starfield videos because my favorite genre in gaming and movies is things that are space related. This game is far from perfect but has interesting concepts, also, you need plenty of patience and focus to appreciate, but most of all, to enjoy this game at its fullest. Thank you for keeping this game alive in some way, I unlocked all the archievements and finished all quests before going to the Unity, and now that I’m on my second playtrough, I shall do it again. Greetings from Mexico!
This guy has made more money thanks to Starfield than Bethesda
I just want to clarify again, the city of New Atlantis isn't separated via loading screens (except for the underground/works/whatever it's called) and actual shop interiors, it's all part of the surface map and it's all continuous: you can even fly away from the city into the wild then around and back into another district (provided you can clear obstacles like city walls). However, there is a tram that *teleports* you to other districts, and even elevators that take you from one floor to another are mostly just teleports. For example you can take the elevator to a penthouse, then jump off the balcony and land on the street below, seamlessly.
You can definitely walk from the Business district to the admin district to the residential district and to the park without taking the tram. And you can walk from the subway basement area to the ground level without taking the elevator. Maybe not the actual offices inside the building, that is a separate zone.
The same thing happens in several parts of Neon: elevators that just move you around a certain distance in the XYZ axis.
All these teleports, however, trigger a loading screen because the engine sucks at this for some reason.
This dude is just obsessed with the game at this point
10:23 ...following-up from my previous comment, yes, paid Mods that don't work properly, for $7.00 is the kind of glaring issue we should be discussing. What makes it bad, is that it gives the impression that Bethesda doesn't have their priorities in order. They're already trying to sell us add-ons, when the main product we bought has "manufacturing defects". Fix your game, make sure we can actually play it, and then sell us 'overpriced', 'underwhelming', microtransactions, not before! ☝🧐
Fallout London folds Starfield so hard it's not even funny.
Someone just sending you a $1200 statue no questions asked. I love it. Super cool. Thing is wild.
Bethesda has to be the slowest developer out there. They take so long to update anything things that would take other devs weeks or maybe days to implement take months.

“I needed to rehash the same video a year later…” Fixed that one for ya bud❤
I love Starfield and put 70 hours into it before even getting deep into the story. I then stopped playing for like 7 months.
The rover brought me back and I've been loving it again. This was my key feedback and I'm glad it's back.
The story and companion interactions are also really great. Starfield is a victim of it's own ambition and scale. It's better than the sum of us parts.
We going to make starfield a weekly video?
I bought the $7 quest. My gun also won't reload, BUT if you click fast enough it has infinite ammo. I don't see people talking about that fun bug. Maybe I got lucky. There is also an archaic FOV / camera jumping bug if you equip the reflex sight. This was an early problem the game had with other guns that was patched out almost a year ago. Fun to see it back.
I bought the $5 quest. This one was less problematic. However, upon completing it, I discovered I had entirely lost my gravity manipulation power. Turns out part of the quest contains a puzzle with a big magnet, and that magnet probably reuses code relating to the gravity power, causing something to break. So yeah, because I chose to spend more money on this game, I lost an entire power. It's just gone.
Money well-spent. Quality work being done at Bethesda. Premium, paid product. Very nice.
I know they didn't intend for rovers to be in the game, but we wouldn't need rovers if there was actually something exciting to see on these planets. You didn't really need a horse in Skyrim because there was always something very close by to check out.
There are 1000+ planets, that is literally what happens with procedural generation. NMS does it the same (but much worse) and yet people lap it up and praise Hello Games.

also care to explain how quests like us sys def / crimsion fleet / uc vanguard / freestar collective mess up the worldbuilding ?
@techgeek123-em7uf I've played every Bethesda game for hundreds of hours. This is the 1st bgs game I lost interest in.
Worldbuilding as in world space. A raider settlement 2 minutes away from a farm that's 2 minutes away from a super mutant camp. BGS perfected "stumbling" into quests and locations. Starfield just doesn't feel as cohesive, and the procgen planets are just as bland as the ES Oblivion dungeons.
"don't critically analyze the game, just consume product and get excited for next product"
Nice timing playing it right now
I finished Starfield played over 100+ hours, but I'm done, I've never done that with a Bethesda game.

Starfield had a wierd issue where the older your save the longer it takes to load. Dunno if it was patched but that could be it.
His save file is probably really big and old. Takes things longer to load

On a more positive note boys, I played Fallout 76 for the first time, have been playing it for the last 2 months. After around 280 hours I've done every single quest, event, explored every area, watched the seasonal and cut content on UA-cam, literally didn't leave a single stone unturned. It's a fun time if you're looking for a Fallout and/or Bethesda experience to delve into! 6.5/10 is what I'd give it and while it might sound low I personally consider it quite decent. Perfect starting point for anyone wanting to get into Fallout too, the lore and world building through all those notes, holotapes and terminals was insanely rich.
Was thinking of starting The Elder Scrolls Online, anyone know if it's any good on consoles? I have an XBOX ONE.
Hm... No. Fallout 76 is by far the worst entry point into Fallout. It is like saying that the best entry point into gastronomy is Mc Donald's... Let's say it is easier to handle for kids. One who starts with Fallout 76 will get used to poo and will never grow to appreciate fine cuisine, and will end up saying that Todd is a genius. Urk... makes me cringe. Taste needs to be educated. THis is what we do here, at school, starting age 3.
@@nox8730Jesus, I've said this before many times but Luke is like one of the chillest dudes ever and his community is full of such hatred-fueled dudes. You guys literally don't deserve him. Fallout 76 is the earliest entry chronologically in the Fallout universe as of today and the world building is factually VERY expansive, objectively the best point to begin, your hate yap is irrelevant.
@@KOTSOSMC2002 No, my so-called "hate-yap" is not irrelevant in the least. You call irrelevant anyone who disagrees with you, which makes you the one "hate-yapping". First obvious fact. Not the last.
Disney made plenty of Star Wars recently, and some entries tackled things that happened before the Trilogy of George Lucas. Just because it is about what happens before chronologically does not make them good at exploring Star Wars' lore. Or even relevant. Why the heck do i have to waste my time stating the obvious?
Fallout's lore was created in 1996, by Black Isle sudios. EVERYTHING Bethesda has done since then, starting with the infamous Fallout 3, was taking your beloved lore and doing the opposite. Fallout 3 is the biggest mess i have seen in my life when it comes to butchering established lore. It is dreadful, to state it as an euphimism.
The proper way to go with lore is starting at the beginning. In 1996. Again, why the heck do i have to waste my time stating the obvious?
Nota Bene: i am absolutely not one of "Luke's follower". I stumbled upon his video. Don't assume sh*t when you know nothing, and stop yapping your BS as if it were facts. Thanks. Honestly, this is the one thing that annoys me the most in life.
@@nox8730 I haven't tried Fallout 76 yet so I don't have personal opinions on it, but I don't think it would trick someone into liking garbage. I started with Fallout 4 when it came out and enjoyed it, so eventually I played New Vegas, and I've been meaning to try the original games. If anything, the "lower quality" games in your opinion led me back to what you would consider the best by serving as a good entry point. I also still play Fallout 4 though because despite what I think of some of Bethesda's lore choices, it's still a good game.
@@nox8730 *sigh* Where to even begin with this messy reply. OK, let's see.
Let's start by addressing the initial baffling take, that F76 is the weakest entry in the series. Me simply moving my finger over to the left and pointing at Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel just wins the argument for me without me even having to say anything. And that's coming from a guy that literally enjoyed both Tactics and BoS. Say that they don't matter because they're not definitively canon as if that just deletes their existence in real life brother. I dare you.
Now the other 💩 one by one, shall we? Yup, it was hate yap and yup it was as a matter of fact quite irrelevant. I wasn't discussing Fallout 76, I was sharing my experience with it and then directly asking people for tips on The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO). You're free to target and/or engage with the F76 take by all means but it is inherently irrelevant to my actual inquiry in the original reply, which is about TESO and TESO only, something that you didn't provide, the F76 hate b-ner took precedent over actual addressing the only question to come out of my comment.
Yes, chronological order is almost always the best way to engage with a fresh IP, and it certainly is with Fallout. Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas are the 2 most relevant entries in the series not by their reputations but by their, well, relevancy, mostly due to the Amazon show and their relative recency. If one doesn't care about the bigger picture and only wants the "important stuff" New Vegas and F4 are pretty much the only must-plays for now. Fallout 76 benefits from a similar effect of relevance through recency, by being both the latest entry in the franchise (with the exception of Fallout Shelter Online) and one of the only live service/ongoing ones being of course an MMO in design, which means it's quite literally a product they can actively engage with while it's in a state of aforementioned relevancy and not just reliving past successes decades after release. F76 is the Fallout of today, the one you can join RIGHT NOW without feeling inherently and inevitably outdated or like you're playing catch-up. It provides almost all the world building and lore one might need, with an expansive look into Hornwright, Arktos Pharma Company, ArmCo, Atomic Mining, Garrahan Mining Company, the Nuka Cola Corp, General Atomics, RobCo, Vault-Tec, the Enclave, the Brotherhood of Steel and pretty much literally every major player in the Fallout universe both pre and post war, all present and expanded upon in F76. You play F76 as a newcomer and you know pretty much everything you should know about the universe in question and in great detail. It IS *objectively* the perfect starting point despite your hate b-ner leaning elsewhere, your opinion is irrelevant cause it contradicts a measurable variable, one of quantity, determinable thoroughness and relevancy. I'm not denying "my opinion", you're denying reality, as haters of any overhated game always do. You treat me like a shill for a game I literally gave a 6.5/10 to, a rating that's a point and a half away from absolute mediocrity, as you haters of any overhated game always do. You can't see the middle ground and the truth of the matter in something you don't love, and say it with me, as you haters of overhated games always do.
And yes, starting Star Wars from the Dawn of the Jedi storyline in 25,000 BBY, working your way to the Old Republic era and then going into the High Republic and onwards stuff is indeed the best way to experience the lore of Star Wars in its purest form if you ask me. This one is far more debatable and you'd have a ton of arguments to your side for claiming otherwise however, this is in fact a fundamentally more discussable approach. Especially with a much more indecisive canon in comparison to Fallout that's a lot more tight.
Saying "everything" with all caps about every Bethesda production being a bastardization surely isn't extremism that shouldn't be taken seriously at all mhm, that's AbSoLuTeLy fair and constructive criticism that needs addressing yes (Automated Irony Disclaimer Alert: It is extremism that nobody takes seriously and it isn't constructive criticism nor worth addressing).
No, starting with F1 is not the best way to begin, that is old neck beard "release order cause that was intended ☝️👴" talk, coming from someone that literally started from F1. Chronological almost always has better pacing and offers more consistent world building and that certainly is the case with Fallout.
Not one of Luke's followers, one of his followers, doesn't matter. The algorithm knew exactly what type of community to throw your way to engage with and it clearly hit the bullseye.
I’ve just started playing it again for the first time since launch. I think it’s enjoyable. I have my criticisms. I’m about 65hrs into it. Did basically all the faction quests except the Pirate faction so far.
The main story is meh but the abilities you can unlock are pretty cool. The ship builder is neat and the gunplay has been pretty solid. Idk it’s not my favorite game but I like it. Fingers crossed shattered space continues to improve the experience.
Beating a dead horse is an understatement, Luke, I really enjoy your content and your personality as a critic but this is actually getting exhausting. I'm tired of videos about Starfield and Concord, but when some good games that deserve videos do come out, you claim that they don't perform that well and don't talk about stuff that I would actually like to hear your thoughts on
Starfield is a game that was made by a studio that got stuck in 2011 and became complacent with the succes of skyrim . They have been left in the dust by Rockstar,CD project red and other studios a long time ago .
cd project red is kind of trash these days, they failed to deliver what was promised in cyberpunk, even what was advertised by the devs themselves just before release.... the DLC and devs basically ignored it as well while pretending they had fixed the game and delivered, when they had not, thats why i didnt pay for the DLC... i just raised the skull and bones flag and im glad i did... it would have only been acceptable as a free update to the base game, though not one that interested me... the DLC is not even worth $1 on sale in my opinion as such i un-installed the DLC, i didnt want to have it installed with the base game as i thought it was that bad, even for free i didnt want it installed on my PC... the modd community has done far more for the game then the actual devs and fixed many of the problems way way way before the devs did as well, infact many of the mods actually did a better job then the devs after all was said and done as well... thats just how lazy project red devs were in conclusion and the standards they set moving forward, which is a shame.
Rockstar did okay with rdr2 and gta5, but this was on the fringe of internal policy changes.... hence rdr2 got the middle finger for years after release and still is getting the middle the finger despite updates finally taking place, no major updates to deliver what players have been asking since day 1 have occurred, despite rdr2 online continuing to generate profits post release... meanwhile gta5 is were the 1 man dev team working part time is focused on making the small and lazy content drops for gta5 instead of rdr2 and likewise bringing in the $$$, but no major content updates that need any real work have been added to the game, its all sub mod community level content drops and updates, this is why cheaters are abundant and many issues/wants from the community for both games remain ignored by rockstar despite all the extra money they make from the online side of things, they simple do not care in the slightest...
so despite how things were in the past, neither of these 2 have set the bar very high in what to expect for their next release, gta6 will be something im very cautious with, especially as im sure they will be heavily focused on the online experience and milk money, so odds are skull and bones from me, while project red... i doubt i will even skull and bones their next release, eitherway both names are already blacklisted from my wallet, they can only get skull and bones treatment from now on.
this is why many crap games still have a player base... the competition and industry standards are below what was set 20 years ago, its also why indie games made with a 1 man army can do AAA graphics these days... AAA has been nerfing everything including visuals for over a decade, so indie has not only caught up visually, many games have even surpassed AAA visually and in gameplay has been better since long ago already, but still remains the underdog due to there being a growing influx of copium addicts and child lemmings with their mothers wallets attached + manchilds, as the population grows and more lemmings etc are exposed to brainless marketing and follow whats popular over whats actually good..
never forget BGS also tried to swindle their biggest fans with the canvass bag that was already paid for. BGS was literally threatened with litigation before they complied. actual scum behavior
Im not exactly thrilled with AAA in general. Ive mainly been playing indie games for the past 10 years.
No one has to pay me to talk about the games i love. They bristle with menacing spikes of creativity. They darkle. they tink.
If the AAA gaming industry has to have a serious downturn and reinvent itself over the next ten years, thats not a terrible turn of events.
I would cheerfully pay for a 70 dollar AAA single player title every week, but i dont want all this online bloat-ware.
all the assorted Crystals for the item shop, paid mods, day one dlc and loot boxing.
No in the indie side of gaming is trying to bend me over or discuss extemist feminist political ideologies as i travel the pixilated cosmos.
Weird...
Is this guy a nut job?
Is he a rock biter?
Nah b3th3sd4 is just on a different league of tr4sh, they actually tried to sc4m their biggest fans who bought their game with the canvas bags, they were literally threatend to get su3d before they actually complied
yet in starfeild u can have the choice to spare delgato and give him a just end . yet in gta u do not have the choice to spare JHONNY THE PERVIOUS PROTAG WHY ? in skyrim u dont have the choice to spare PARTHUNAX why ?
but nah bethesda is stuck in 2011 and hasnt itterated or innovated in the slightest - starfeild hater 2024 .
🤦🤦🤦🤦
15:32 Its because you have mods installed. A Quick relaunch will fix the bug though
Starfield did one thing I am grateful for. It showed that there is an audience for big space games. Gamers like space. I´ve been so starved for new space games for years but in last few years it looks like it is making a comeback a little.
And then Luke returns to No Mans Sky, and nobody sees or hears from him for 6 months... until he shows back up with a survivalist's beard and gives us an update on what real sunlight looks/feels like. 🤣
PS - NMS recently added intergalactic fishing, which even has its own fishing expedition, and it's *awesome*. 🤠
(Being fair, NMS has had disappointments for me... like "dynamic/random" space stations -- they're different on outside while most are still laid out with exact same layouts on inside again, or "ship customization" with the bizarre restrictions there, and wish NMS had the combat of Starfield.)
As soon as I finished the story I uninstalled it and cancelled GamePass. After the initial "woah" of shipbuilding the game became a chore to play, the characters were mostly dull, cities were tiny, planets barren and it took so damn long to get anywhere. I'm sure the game has improved vastly since launch but considering this was the first Bethesda game I ever played I was left super unimpressed
The capital of the United Colonies, "Atlantis", looks like it could house about 10,000 people in game. Some capital.
These are the biggest bethesda cities as well out of any of their games lol
@@subjectdelta17 other bgs games were set in small towns, starifield is set in the entire universe
@Jeanssj98 "small towns" you clearly don't know how big some of the skyrim cities were actually supposed to be in lore.
Solitude and whiterun alone are supposed to have a population in the thousands.
And the imperial city in oblivion is supposed to have a population in the millions. Yes I said that right. MILLIONS. In game it's about 100 people, including the guards.
So, no, bethesda has always done this. Your nostalgia is getting ahold of you on this one.
Bethesda doesn't like wasted space in their cities. You can explore every building, and every building has a purpose.
In games like cyberpunk, 90% of the buildings are just set dressing. Empty husks that are just decoration. One isn't better than the other, they both have their ups and downs. In bethesdas case, the cities look far smaller than they actually should be.
@@subjectdelta17 lorewise starfield planets should have millions and yet they have like 20 people IF that, plus you are comparing games from 2 console gens ago to a 2023 game in the gen of the SSD, starfield having such bad towns (and everything else) is just a joke in itself
and bethesda doesnt like wasted space in their cities? bro in starfield everything is wasted, the cities dont have any actual content of value, cyberpunk city is just WAY WAY superior
The feature to be able to mod and upgrade the rover like in the ship building would be epic. I would like to build a manta style veicle like in Unreal Tournament 3.
Is it worth buying? No, This game is not worth my time and money.
Satisfactory release, Skyrim mods still dominate and other indie games release, why are we debating thissssssssssssssssssss.
even tho it has better rpg mechanics then skyrim and has the same rpg mechanics that most people try to get via mods in skyrim( talking about in general and not about u specifically ) . for eg house of horros is a very popular mod in skyrim allowing u to get an alternate ending in the house of horros molak bal questline where u can save the vigilant .
in starfield u have the option to save the npcs in ever major quest .
similarly lets look at parthunax and how u cant save him in vannila skyrim .
so if most mods do what starfeild does on its own . how is the game not worth ur time >
One day Luke will make a Starfield video without talking about that damn rifle. But it is not this day!
The changes that have been made would have been nice at launch. I played for around 100 hours, and enjoyed the quests and missions - until it got boring as the exploration and locations became old fast. None of that has been fixed, so I have not gone back to playing this game.
I am modding this game a lot, and also creating my own mods to improve it. Honestly, the base game does have way too many hiccups and bugs, but I am still able to find joy in it. I'm no fanboy of Bethesda, I just love their approach to exploration where you can walk around and do stuff (even if it's wonky and takes time to get to)... I wasn't too excited about vehicles because it's too hard to traverse maps with it. I get stuck with it more than I'd like to but hey I guess it's free update so no complaints here. Anyway, I'm hoping that with more mods down the line, and more updates/DLC they will improve the game to at least acceptable levels for common players. I'm no ordinary player, as I said, I play this game to enjoy it but also to mod it.
