@@Ämyr2006 I started NG+ to see if anything was different. You get a few cool things at the very start (which I won't spoil for people who don't want to know) and that's it. Everything else is more or less the same. I can't say I truly *enjoyed* my time on Starfield; it kept me busy with half-assed questlines and an incredibly-slow leveling system; which I HAD to cheese. So no, I can't say I really enjoyed my time on it in hindsight.
One of the biggest deal breakers for me, fair enough I'm a sim gamer and a massive nerd of a sim gamer, but if a game is built around space travel then I better have full control over the ship. I want to be able to manually line up for docking, I want to be able to use the zero gravity vacuum environment of space to pull maneuvers you can't inside an atmosphere and gravity well, I don't want arcadey aeroplanes but in the backdrop of space, Elite Dangerous is the bare minimum standard of what I expect and honestly these days I would expect even more from a AAA game. The shallow implementation of spaceships in starfield just seems so stupid, why even have it at all. Why not just have it be like in Outer Worlds and have the ship be a fast travel hub/player base (which I also didn't enjoy but at least it wasn't pretending to be something it wasn't.).
Yeah, they should've just tried to copy No Man's Sky style of traveling from planet to planet. At least it would've felt more involved instead of menu hopping.
Coming from 3k hours of playing Elite Dangerous I'm so glad Starfield respects my time and lets me fast travel everywhere. Trust me, just flying through space might sound enticing, but it's literally just wasted time. Starfield made the right choice.
What’s actually fun about Bethesda games is all the things that can happen in what is basically a big sandbox while traveling between places. With all of the loading screens in this game, there is no massive overworld, so this aspect of Bethesda games doesn’t happen.
Agree. I recently played modded skyrim VR and those moments are so frequent. Just casually walking through some random forest I found this short elf girl who ended up being one of the best companions ever. It was so spontaneous and cool, I could've missed that in a hundred other playthroughs.
"What’s actually fun about Bethesda games is all the things that can happen in what is basically a big sandbox while traveling between places." ah yes, of course, this basically-copy-pasta that this the only fun Bethesda games provide - when all of their games are way more focused on the dungeon run than the overworld shenanigans, which are only really good with mods to make that part good. But sure, keep copy-pasting this garbage take that is ultra convenient - also, you don't need to just blast through loading screens. I sometimes spent hours without seeing one, just like their previous games - which are also loaded with loading.
@@xBINARYGODx where else have you seen this ‘copypasta?’ Link? Skyrim and oblivion dungeons are quite the same except for a few quest-related ones. And plenty of games have good dungeons, especially when those games are more linear to make that design more worthwhile. Bethesda overworlds are unique. Even if the overworld is much more fun with mods (I have never installed a content mod for a Bethesda game) the freedom of exploration and little unique areas and encounters which can only be experienced this way set Bethesda RPGs apart.
Starfield is a great game for the sole reason that it made me want a cutscene-less space experience so much that I finally grinded through the early game of No Mans Sky and now I’m 400 hours into a different game playing what Bethesda promised for Starfield
The only thing I like about starfield more than no man's sky is ship buying and combat. No man's sky has the worst ship collecting, you cant customise late game ships so you gotta sit in the same spot for hours trying to find the right one to spawn. Also the combat is more stale than starfields, at least starfield has unique guns and different options. No man's sky just has point and shoot.
To be honest, I don't think that's even possible. People shit on Skyrim all the time in hindsight, sometimes rightfully so, but in the end it was still a charming experience. While buggy, even without mods, it was just fun to explore and see the world. The modding community didn't form around it for nothing. There is a decent base to work with, which was worth polishing. Starfield just doesn't feel compelling to explore. Even if the modding scene makes the gameplay half-decent, the fundamental problem doesn't change. I guess they could make story mods and new planets (with a properly designed map, and all that jazz), but wouldn't that feel like a waste of time for modders, when the company didn't even bother this time around? I can't imagine Starfield's modding scene growing to the size of FO4's or Skyrim's.
I honestly doubt that's happening either. See, the core problems with Starfield don't exist in Skyrim. Skyrim by itself is a magical world you could get lost in. You could walk from Falkreath to Winterhold on foot and not be bored for a sec. No endless loading screens, no endless fast travel (until you've explored a lot by yourself).
of course you need to immerse yourself when going into hyperspace. You need to feel the acceleration, press yourself in the back of your seat, make small items rattle on your desk, put a vibration controller beneath yourself

It's not either fast space travel or immersion based space piloting. The game needs both. No Man's Sky and Elite are well served by their space mechanics but sometimes I would prefer to cut to the chase and arrive at the Lodge or wherever instantly as well.
i love the fact that this mission singlehandedly breaks EVERY pirate outpost raid by making the pirates friendly and say one of 5 pieces of dialogue if you decide that you don't like it. now i get to go to a cool raid and be disappointed that my enemies are friendly to me. i owe the pirates 300,000,000 dollars in "fines" but they won't and can't do ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO ME!!
Starfield is one of the most "just ok" games I have ever played. It's so on the border between good and bad, that I simply do not know if I would recommend it to anyone. But I do think that the gunplay is good, and the game has a huge variety of weapons. The skill point system is maybe the worst I have ever seen in a game. But not gonna lie. I do regret buying this
@@timothysheridan8134 Considering it had bugged out spinning in a circle right before that happened, I'm not surprised he assumed the burrowing was a bug too
@@M4gicMark. Doesn't help that the animation for the burrowing thing is absolutely dogshit. There was no dust cloud whatsoever, no anticipation, not even an audio cue, the crab thing just kinda phased into the ground. I don't blame anyone that mistakes this mechanic for a bug due to how badly animated it is
I've seen ppl say that this games gets marginally better if you mod it. Listen, a good game doesn't need mods to make it better. I didn't have to mod outer wilds to make space exploration amazing. I didn't have to mod disco elysium to make dialogue choices better. I didn't have to mod sekiro to make combat more fluid. Every aspect of starfield has been done by many other games MUCH better (and also doesn't run like ass). It's a jack of all trades (that isn't even that good at it) and master of none.
Starfield is very much a Bethesda game but in "space". If you don't like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, you're in for a bad time. I'd say maybe come back in a year or so when there's mods that change up the gameplay but those are more a PC thing :^I
That is prime corporate game design on display. All aspects making a good game are there. Like a checklist that has been ticked. 'Did we put in everything everybody wants to be there? Yeah? Then release it, it's a hit!' All the while, no one in charge ever sits down and plays 4 hours of the thing ( they can't, they have work to do, they wouldn't be in charge if they had time for gaming ) and realizes that it's a disjointed mess that is not fun. 'Anthem' comes to mind feeling exactly the same. But it's just as well as all that really mattered was presenting the checklist of content along a trailer with the best bits to the investors to secure the funding for the next game. Repeat ad infinitum - or more probable, repeat until Bethesda goes down. It's clear that studios that are scaled this highly and employ so many people cannot stomach two failed releases in a row, their operating costs are enormous.
@@nicholaspowell8174 The more I think about your text, the less sense it makes. Are you suggesting there should have been more enemies, or was it just a generally bad idea? Your other point doesn't make sense either, so I'm not even going to comment on it.
@@ChazHQ on mine was just 3 bullet sponge terrormorph they were not even moving how they did it was lazy asf you people are braindead unbelievable this game took 8 years to develop
If Elite Dangerous taught me anything it's that fast travel is better than spending a real life hour traveling from one place to another. Even Star Citizen took 10 irl minutes to get to another planet. Space is big, I only wish Starfield had more options to initiate travel from the cockpit but I'll pass on arduous albeit realistic travel.
I agree, I played no man’s sky and going between planets was fun for five minutes until you realize your staring at a kaleidoscope for minutes. I much prefer the cutscene/ loading screen. I did like flying in the planets though. It would have been great to be able to strafe bandit camps with your ship in starfield
though when was the last time you played NMS, right now flying in space is so much fun with the whole star wars type bttle ships fighting each other or coming across a trading Conoy and buying skips for yourself, or coming across space anomalies even living ship you can take, flying in empty space is boring, but thats when you fill it with content it becomes fun, but bathesda doesnt want to put much effort which can be seen in their planets and mission designs. Dont try to defend a game by excusing such stuff, there is always a way, and they promised a space exploration and gave us loading screens and empty planets on which we can do nothing @@themangoimperium7415
@@themangoimperium7415 Flying between planets in No Man's Sky doesn't even take that long though. At most like 2 minutes, and that can usually be broken up by activities that may pop up during those 30 seconds to 2 minutes. More than 3 minutes seems too much, so I think NMS struck that perfect balance
I know im in the minority here for this, at least in the Zanclan, but j really love this game. I understand a lot lf complaints, but thats because i came to Starfield with the knowledge that its a Bethesda game. So what did I get? Skyrim but in space. Nice. Oh, and you can use the scanner to fast travelso you dont have to go into the menu. LB on console.
It was overhyped so 90% of people who play it and don’t realize it’s Bethesda are gonna hate it which is fair. It shouldn’t have been as hyped as it was
I came to Starfield with the knowledge it was a Bethesda game, and got even more dissapointed after leaving the game after 30 hours, remembering i spent hundreds of hours playing oblivion, skyrim and the fallout series. It's just not the same anymore. I'm happy you found some enjoyment out of the game though, i wish i could say the same.
I came in knowing nothing about it and I give it a 7 out of 10. A lot of faction quests are shallow cliff notes of pop culture. I am pretty sure I'll bump the game to an 8 two or three years from now when it is complete.
Gotta say with all due respect, I liked Skyrim and was also expecting skyrim in space; and found starfield dull. I got to NG+ and after playing a little i just got bored and uninstalled. Even in Skyrim you can walk from Solitude to Windhelm with 0 loading screens, even the settlements feel more fun to explore and go around. Skyrim sure has loading screens for entering cities/buildings/etc, but even skyrim didnt feel it had this many cuts that just kill the pacing.
The one big thing almost no-one is talking about is the system with different biomes on one planet. Thats one of the big resaons for fast travel. For the first time in spacegaming we actually have a planet with an arctic north, a troppical midsection and one dessert south - all on one planet. If the cost for that is fast travel or segmented areas, Ill take it anyday over Star Citizen or No mans sky.
I agree the combat could be improved a little bit, and fast traveling, can break the pacing of the game. Overall, though, I feel like many people who have problems with this game are just very impatient.
Yes. Finally a reasonable comment. I've noticed every complaint is pretty annoying. Like people are complaining over the dumbest shit. This game is amazing
This game is definitely not for everyone, either it clicks or it won't. You really shouldn't try this game anymore Zanny cause the gameplay won't get better no matter how many hours you'll put into this game. It took me like 6 playthroughs of Skyrim scattered between 2014-2021 to actually enjoy the game, and even then it's only because I changed my perspective for the game to be more roleplaying focused than an action game.
@@nicholaspowell8174If I had to choose between mod support, or a completely perfect game… Sorry but I like mods over what a corporation thinks is perfect. And it’s not like Starfield is that bad of a game either. The problem is that it’s very slow and not that fleshed out in story sense.
@@Mayflower-Yev mods are great but Bethesda is a useless company mods added some things that should already be in the game and game story and side missions suck
@@Mayflower-Yev So you pay the company money for a half baked game in hopes that people will make it better? And you like that over getting what you actually paid for? Interesting POV but no thanks I prefer a good game.
After 19 hours, I requested a refund. It was more cutscenes for traveling than actual space gameplay. No Man's Sky was far more enjoyable on release than Starfield
I understand where Zanny is coming from with KOTOR I have the same reservations about baldur's gate 3. I'm sure the story and immersion are top tier but I can't get behind the gameplay, just not my style.
I'm enjoying starfield 0.0 its got some strong points (usual bethesda sandbox style) and weak points (copy and pasted content) and I hate how buggy it gets when you get further in. That does suck. Bethesda has not improved in that regard AT ALL and they need a slap for it 😂 Will say im not surprised Zanny dont like it, or most reviewers for that matter because bethesda games are more suited to being played on your own, at your own pace, going off and doing your own thing (like building a moon base or something or starting a life of crime when you get wrongfully imprisoned for trying to turn in a piece of contraband) and putting yourself in the story.. when you play a game sat next to a friend or with an audience, you dont zone in on what youre doing in the same way.. you want the kind of game that has popping visuals or provoking scenarios because on some level the game needs to provide entertainment for said audience. Its not everyone's cup of tea for sure but i dont think its as bad as reviewers are making out either.. All id say is, once this game gets some patches and most importantly the CK for the modding community, its going to start realising its potential
how I make the loading screen sim tolerable: I use low fuel tanks for short jump ranges gives me more random encounters on every star system, as well as knowing how to map out my destination
I've put in over 72 hours into the game now; finished the story, and halfway through New Game+. I can tell you that it does not get better.

It's not either fast space travel or immersion based space piloting. The game needs both. No Man's Sky and Elite are well served by their space mechanics but sometimes I would prefer to cut to the chase and arrive at the Lodge or wherever instantly as well.
If you expected a space game, its bad. If you expected space fallout, its still bad but makes more sense
i cant believe zanman is playing jedi survivor beta
i love the fact that this mission singlehandedly breaks EVERY pirate outpost raid by making the pirates friendly and say one of 5 pieces of dialogue if you decide that you don't like it. now i get to go to a cool raid and be disappointed that my enemies are friendly to me. i owe the pirates 300,000,000 dollars in "fines" but they won't and can't do ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO ME!!
Starfield is the reason I try No Man’s Sky.
Starfield is one of the most "just ok" games I have ever played. It's so on the border between good and bad, that I simply do not know if I would recommend it to anyone. But I do think that the gunplay is good, and the game has a huge variety of weapons. The skill point system is maybe the worst I have ever seen in a game. But not gonna lie. I do regret buying this
Im a playstation player and im very jealous of you getting to play this game. Still want to give it a try someday
Tbh it’s my favourite game of all time Skyrim and fall out are better games but i love Star Wars and space so I love it
Good thing i have game pass
@@ibrahimatiyeh9608 I'm a PC and PS player. I have the game on PC
@@ibrahimatiyeh9608130 hours in, never get bored one second
Starfield is the Kai Havertz of games, everyone wants it to be good but it "needs time"
And Bethesda doesn’t even allow you to jump to Tanalorr, are they stupid??
Tanalorr is mine!
this shit was so hyped before release and ofcourse it bombed 😂
"most innovative game award on steam" *the innovation being 2008 ai and loading screens*
16 times the cutscenes
Star Field is probably the best attempt by devs to make you want to touch grass as it's so boring
touching and smelling grass is more fun than exploring in starfield
Thanks for the video! Every time I'll be struggling to fall asleep, I'll rewatch it
The facepalm when that enemy bugged through the floor absolutely killed me lmao
It didn’t bug through the floor lol it’s a burrowing mechanic
@@timothysheridan8134 Considering it had bugged out spinning in a circle right before that happened, I'm not surprised he assumed the burrowing was a bug too
@@Erick-tv8oqit doesn’t change that it wasn’t a bug, unfair criticism
@@M4gicMark. Doesn't help that the animation for the burrowing thing is absolutely dogshit. There was no dust cloud whatsoever, no anticipation, not even an audio cue, the crab thing just kinda phased into the ground. I don't blame anyone that mistakes this mechanic for a bug due to how badly animated it is
@@Erick-tv8oq well that can be blamed due to the fact is just a scaled up version of the smaller ones, I agree with you on this one
With fallout they started to forget good story, then starfield they just ditched good gameplay all together
all the humans in this game look so uncanny like they try to look real but they just dont
I've seen ppl say that this games gets marginally better if you mod it. Listen, a good game doesn't need mods to make it better. I didn't have to mod outer wilds to make space exploration amazing. I didn't have to mod disco elysium to make dialogue choices better. I didn't have to mod sekiro to make combat more fluid. Every aspect of starfield has been done by many other games MUCH better (and also doesn't run like ass). It's a jack of all trades (that isn't even that good at it) and master of none.
"How about float and swim bitch" wise words to live by.
Zanny should play mortal Kombat 1.the amount of rage in one multiplayer match can drive a man insane
Starfield is so boring, i’m also a massive dork and my mom still breastfeeds me
The game really picks up after the sixth or seventh try
Nah but the 10th or 11th tries are the peak.
No it clicks after you die and respawn irl
its even better if you decide to not play it at all!
No man's sky has hyperspace cutscenes but that's it. There are no other cutscenes.
Waiting for that 3rd ending in AC6 👀
Starfield is very much a Bethesda game but in "space". If you don't like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, you're in for a bad time. I'd say maybe come back in a year or so when there's mods that change up the gameplay but those are more a PC thing :^I
Mods will be on console
It's not in the same level of ES and FO because the core exploration gameplay is missing in Starfield.
16 times the detail..... in every cut scene
This game is just 90% dialogue.
I love story driven games, beated The Witcher 1, KOTOR 1 and 2, Fallout 3, NV and Starfield.
I had some fun playing this game but I gotta say I will not be replaying it
Ain't no way zanny isn't gonna play Knights of the Old Republic someday
Zanny Hates KOTOR’s Combat and won’t play it, you can see him say it in his SWTOR videos
I replayed Skyrim recently and it’s crazy to me how that manages to hold up yet Starfield, a modern game, is wildly boring.
You should play phantom liberty it’s amazing 10/10
That is prime corporate game design on display.
All aspects making a good game are there. Like a checklist that has been ticked. 'Did we put in everything everybody wants to be there? Yeah? Then release it, it's a hit!'
All the while, no one in charge ever sits down and plays 4 hours of the thing ( they can't, they have work to do, they wouldn't be in charge if they had time for gaming ) and realizes that it's a disjointed mess that is not fun. 'Anthem' comes to mind feeling exactly the same.
But it's just as well as all that really mattered was presenting the checklist of content along a trailer with the best bits to the investors to secure the funding for the next game. Repeat ad infinitum - or more probable, repeat until Bethesda goes down. It's clear that studios that are scaled this highly and employ so many people cannot stomach two failed releases in a row, their operating costs are enormous.
This man needs to do the vanguard quest best mission ever
Terrormorph attacking the city was mid asf lazy asf devs
@@nicholaspowell8174 The more I think about your text, the less sense it makes. Are you suggesting there should have been more enemies, or was it just a generally bad idea? Your other point doesn't make sense either, so I'm not even going to comment on it.
@@ChazHQ on mine was just 3 bullet sponge terrormorph they were not even moving how they did it was lazy asf you people are braindead unbelievable this game took 8 years to develop
The game of a generation lmao
Commander Ikande is a Helldivers 2 voice actor no way
This is the game they said would be better than Skyrim...
If Elite Dangerous taught me anything it's that fast travel is better than spending a real life hour traveling from one place to another. Even Star Citizen took 10 irl minutes to get to another planet. Space is big, I only wish Starfield had more options to initiate travel from the cockpit but I'll pass on arduous albeit realistic travel.
I agree, I played no man’s sky and going between planets was fun for five minutes until you realize your staring at a kaleidoscope for minutes. I much prefer the cutscene/ loading screen. I did like flying in the planets though. It would have been great to be able to strafe bandit camps with your ship in starfield
though when was the last time you played NMS, right now flying in space is so much fun with the whole star wars type bttle ships fighting each other or coming across a trading Conoy and buying skips for yourself, or coming across space anomalies even living ship you can take, flying in empty space is boring, but thats when you fill it with content it becomes fun, but bathesda doesnt want to put much effort which can be seen in their planets and mission designs. Dont try to defend a game by excusing such stuff, there is always a way, and they promised a space exploration and gave us loading screens and empty planets on which we can do nothing @@themangoimperium7415
@@themangoimperium7415
Flying between planets in No Man's Sky doesn't even take that long though. At most like 2 minutes, and that can usually be broken up by activities that may pop up during those 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
More than 3 minutes seems too much, so I think NMS struck that perfect balance
You can travel from the cockpit. Open the scan menu
I know im in the minority here for this, at least in the Zanclan, but j really love this game. I understand a lot lf complaints, but thats because i came to Starfield with the knowledge that its a Bethesda game. So what did I get? Skyrim but in space. Nice.
Oh, and you can use the scanner to fast travelso you dont have to go into the menu. LB on console.
It was overhyped so 90% of people who play it and don’t realize it’s Bethesda are gonna hate it which is fair. It shouldn’t have been as hyped as it was
I came to Starfield with the knowledge it was a Bethesda game, and got even more dissapointed after leaving the game after 30 hours, remembering i spent hundreds of hours playing oblivion, skyrim and the fallout series. It's just not the same anymore.
I'm happy you found some enjoyment out of the game though, i wish i could say the same.
I came in knowing nothing about it and I give it a 7 out of 10. A lot of faction quests are shallow cliff notes of pop culture. I am pretty sure I'll bump the game to an 8 two or three years from now when it is complete.
Gotta say with all due respect, I liked Skyrim and was also expecting skyrim in space; and found starfield dull. I got to NG+ and after playing a little i just got bored and uninstalled. Even in Skyrim you can walk from Solitude to Windhelm with 0 loading screens, even the settlements feel more fun to explore and go around. Skyrim sure has loading screens for entering cities/buildings/etc, but even skyrim didnt feel it had this many cuts that just kill the pacing.
No wonder Sony wanted this exclusive, it's all cutscene
I have to agree about the turn based Knights of the Old Republic. It was hard to get thru and I think I stopped.
The one big thing almost no-one is talking about is the system with different biomes on one planet. Thats one of the big resaons for fast travel. For the first time in spacegaming we actually have a planet with an arctic north, a troppical midsection and one dessert south - all on one planet. If the cost for that is fast travel or segmented areas, Ill take it anyday over Star Citizen or No mans sky.
I'm pretty sure Microtech has multiple biomes but you make a good point overall.
Gonna do Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty soon?
Everything is a cutscene😂
I agree the combat could be improved a little bit, and fast traveling, can break the pacing of the game. Overall, though, I feel like many people who have problems with this game are just very impatient.
Yes. Finally a reasonable comment. I've noticed every complaint is pretty annoying. Like people are complaining over the dumbest shit. This game is amazing
Zanny needs to build a custom ship in the style of the millennium falcon or X wing or something
cutscenes = loading screens wearing makeup
You know what you should give another try.......For Honor its pretty fun
It truly is a gaming experience.
This game is definitely not for everyone, either it clicks or it won't. You really shouldn't try this game anymore Zanny cause the gameplay won't get better no matter how many hours you'll put into this game.
It took me like 6 playthroughs of Skyrim scattered between 2014-2021 to actually enjoy the game, and even then it's only because I changed my perspective for the game to be more roleplaying focused than an action game.
Zan Man’s Sky? 👀
No Zan's Sky????
Zanny: complains about all the cutscenes and the fast travel between planets
Also Zanny: "That's a long walk. Can I fast travel? NOPE" 😅
it's almost like walking miles in a wasteland of nothing feels even worse then fast traveling or something
I got the game on gamepass and put days worth of playing because of ship building. That's the only reason why i played
bethesda games arent for everyone, i personally love Starfield but I get people who dont
They fly now?
The fun begin at 1000 hours gameplay.. 👍👍
starfield is basically just a movie theres basically mechanics might as well relax and eat some popcorns
A movie imply that there are cinematics, which this movie does not.
really excited to play this in a year when the mods make this a whole different game
Maybe they should have Made a good game and not let modders fix it
@@nicholaspowell8174If I had to choose between mod support, or a completely perfect game… Sorry but I like mods over what a corporation thinks is perfect.
And it’s not like Starfield is that bad of a game either. The problem is that it’s very slow and not that fleshed out in story sense.
@@Mayflower-Yev mods are great but Bethesda is a useless company mods added some things that should already be in the game and game story and side missions suck
@@nicholaspowell8174 Yeah, wouldn’t call them useless but I understand your pov and respect it.
@@Mayflower-Yev So you pay the company money for a half baked game in hopes that people will make it better? And you like that over getting what you actually paid for? Interesting POV but no thanks I prefer a good game.
After 19 hours, I requested a refund. It was more cutscenes for traveling than actual space gameplay.
No Man's Sky was far more enjoyable on release than Starfield
So hyped for the battlefront 2 vid!
My RTX 3050 can't play this at stable 60fps. So, I will play No man sky now.
An FTL mod would slap though just like turning the game into a rogue like
I suggest you to play Skyrim, it's a far better experience
@three Zanny no Tanalor reference in 12:58 left corner
I put a solid extra 3 hours after your original video, and it didn’t get better
Every boss in jedi survivor had 3 cut scenes
I understand where Zanny is coming from with KOTOR I have the same reservations about baldur's gate 3. I'm sure the story and immersion are top tier but I can't get behind the gameplay, just not my style.
i would rather watch zanny play only up or something like that. This game managed to put a boring content on a zanny channel.
Day 73 of asking Zanny to do an uncharted series:
I'm enjoying starfield 0.0 its got some strong points (usual bethesda sandbox style) and weak points (copy and pasted content) and I hate how buggy it gets when you get further in. That does suck. Bethesda has not improved in that regard AT ALL and they need a slap for it 😂 Will say im not surprised Zanny dont like it, or most reviewers for that matter because bethesda games are more suited to being played on your own, at your own pace, going off and doing your own thing (like building a moon base or something or starting a life of crime when you get wrongfully imprisoned for trying to turn in a piece of contraband) and putting yourself in the story.. when you play a game sat next to a friend or with an audience, you dont zone in on what youre doing in the same way.. you want the kind of game that has popping visuals or provoking scenarios because on some level the game needs to provide entertainment for said audience. Its not everyone's cup of tea for sure but i dont think its as bad as reviewers are making out either.. All id say is, once this game gets some patches and most importantly the CK for the modding community, its going to start realising its potential
how I make the loading screen sim tolerable: I use low fuel tanks for short jump ranges gives me more random encounters on every star system, as well as knowing how to map out my destination
