- In this video, I talk about Starfield and why it is genuinely brilliant. If you're a fan of sci-fi games this is a must play, and is an out-of-this-world gaming experience, one you should definitely play before the Shattered Space DLC comes out.

Let's get one thing straight, this game is far from perfect. There are a fair few things that are wrong with the game, as there are with a lot of games, and there are somethings that admittedly are flat out unacceptable in a modern day release. But in an overall sense, this is one of the most fun games I have played in a really long time. One that I would argue is quintessentially Bethesda.
To be perfectly honest, I first played this game right when it was available on game pass. As a fan of Fallout 4 (another controversial opinion I know), I figured if what bethesda was selling was a Fallout game but in space, it would be a perfectly good way of passing the time. And since it was on xbox game pass I didn’t have to spend any more money that I wasn’t already spending.
However the more I played, the more I understood that this game is a slow burn, all the things that I initially saw as boring, such as the questing just got better and better the more I played the game. Even the ship combat which I vowed I would do as little as possible at the start of my play through became so much more fun the more I progressed the game with different ships, perks, and just larger scale combat. The general combat also got more fun as I got more perks, powers and guns.
It turned out Starfield is Genuinely Brilliant!
Upon release, I thought the game was meh. I rushed through the whole game to see this "New Game+". I didn't spend enough time anywhere to appreciate aspects of the game, and I let the internets opinion of this game ruin my own.. But...
I'm currently 200 hours into my second playthrough, and I feel so incredibly immersed in this game and have not grown tired of it. Incredible story lines and characters, a well thought out universe, and some INCREDIBLY beautiful planets if you are willing to give exploration a chance.
Once this game started getting hate, for things like 30fps on console at launch, no seemless launching/landing off of worlds, and IMO the MISUNDERSTANDING that all planets are barren of content, people just ran with the hate and it snowballed. I think many of us who love the game now were influenced by this hate at launch. This game wasn't given a fair chance and I hope after a few DLCs people come back and just play the game for what it is, I think they will thoroughly enjoy it
I think that’s one of the best reviews I’ve seen for Starfield. You hit every point right on the head.
Based
Thanks man... Finally some content that is not just trashing the game saying that is the worse game of this decade... I've playing Starfield since de Launch and, yes it's not perfect, but the good parts of it are absolutely Majestic... Companions are great, even Sarah, that can bother sometimes, has a great side quest... The updates helped the game to get better and better, and the new dlc has a lot of potential... Starfield is actually a really good game, that i think now can be called Underrated...
Seeing a lot of videos like this coming out now!
It took me about 10 hours to get a feel for starfield & having loved fo4 & skyrim so much in the past, i was disappointed not to just jump in & love it from the first second.
Then i decided to stop projecting what the game "should" be & just let it tell me what type of game it actually was.
Unfinished in many areas yes, but overlooking those flaws, it's actually a really good game & doubtless will become great in time through dlc.
Exactly my thoughts, the game doesn't have the same heroic and dramatic start as all other Bethesda games, but it certainly still gives you that power fantasy later on. It takes a while but it becomes brilliant
@skyriminspace who are you bro
What do you mean doubtless? What do you mean great? What do you mean time? Please elaborate
@@azaansayed2002 uh oh, looks like we've got another keyboard warrior who wants to try & tell me my subjective opinion is wrong.
@@skyriminspace keyboard? Warrior? Please elaborate
Starfiels is getting really good now, and will get better
It happened with other Bethesda games before.
Good video Tahmid
Genuine question as I am considering reinstalling this game. Why is it getting really good now? What's changed?
I really didn't like the main quest but was considering finishing faction quests.
@@XariannNothing has changed aside for quality of life tweaks. The reality is the game has always been good provided your willing to get through a pretty slow first couple hours. I would recommend after you unlock a couple of the constellation companions just go crazy on the side content
About time this game gets a love review this game is fantastic and I love it
Lots of others I am not definitely not the first, its just the fact that hating is more popular so a lot of people play the game with their minds made up to begin with.
Very brilliant game
Thank you 👍👍👍
Welcome 👍
Unfortunately, I have to side with the mixed reviews.. While I love Fallout and Scrolls, this game got boring and repetitive after 200hrs.. I like the game, but I don't love it.. I like the exploration, I like the views, but... One thing that would make this game way more immersive would be implementing Tobii, but that would be putting too much money on a horse with no legs as the player base was very harsh on this title
Fair enough
I must say that this a truly brilliant review of the game. This review exquisitely encapsulates the wonder and grandeur of Starfield. The meticulous attention to the game’s stunning visuals and profound world-building is beautifully conveyed. Your eloquent insights into the harmonious blend of exploration, combat, and narrative truly highlight the game’s immersive essence. The detailed examination of gameplay mechanics and character interactions underscores why Starfield stands as a new pinnacle in space exploration games. Thank you for presenting such a refined and thoughtful review.
"underscores why Starfield stands as a new pinnacle in space exploration games" LMFAO Oh please, stop it ! Yes, games are so immersive with hundreds and hundreds of loading screens throughout the whole game. So, so immersive lol.
lmao you can put away the thesaurus now
@@mygetawayart Starfield is another game in the laundry list of proof that 10 hours of tight, well written, and impactful content is always better than 10 hours of that same content in between 990 hours of pointless junk. The game has really good stuff in it, but it has way too much bad stuff in it also and that just kills it to death. Don't get be started on bugs and glitches etc. Starfield's crowning achievement was getting Larian to give us Baldur's Gate 3 a little sooner lol.
@@Mr.Davs2216 i enjoy starfield, i was just making fun of op's fancy ass speech
@@mygetawayart you are the G bro
Thank you. This is EXACTLY true. The Quests (and the Faction Quest in particular) are imo the best that BGS ever did. Its kinda sad this this all drowned in a flood of dumb hate-shit.
@@ramireza6904 I disagree with you because I chose not to agree with you
@@azaansayed2002 okaayyy...
I don't understand why nobody talked about the elephant in the room that is one of the most important reasons why the game is so hated: it did not come out on PlayStation. I think that a lot of people did not even play it. They literally can't lol And a lot of people played it for lime 3 or 4 hours and saw literally anything about the game. What a pity. They skipped some of the most fun and entertaining quests I have played in recent years. This game reminds me a lot of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Quests had the same vibe. Loved it
Honestly, I assumed pretty early on that my problem with the game is exactly that it's the quintessential Bethesda game, which I enjoyed up until around like 2016 but eventually I just grew bored of it, open worlds games just don't do it for me anymore. I can't bring myself to play Oblivion, Skyrim or any of the Fallout games after 2 anymore, but what usually gets me is the writing, Bethesda's style of writing is very... Bland and descriptive, which in turn doesn't give the voice actors a lot to work with, so you just sit there listening to NPCs talk in an almost monotone voice for several minutes while doing nothing, and shit, I got high tolerance for lengthy dialogue, both when it comes to listening or reading, after all, CRPGs are my favorite types of games, but Starfield just couldn't hold my attention, add to that a very "outdated" core gameplay for the lack of a better word and the game lost my interest very quickly.
Thankfully I wasn't really hyped for Starfield so I didn't really get disappointed when I didn't end up enjoying the game. I truly hope Bethesda learn some lessons from Starfield in order to make TES6 an amazing game, I may not enjoy Skyrim's gameplay or Bethesda's game design in general anymore, but TES' lore still holds a special place in my heart and I will probably end up playing it anyways.
Amazingly brilliant super
Thank you!
Crimson fleet was the best faction quest
truly among Bethesda's best quests ever
Bro I somehow left that one for the end and did almost everything else before that one 😭😭 Now you guys hyped me up about it.
ngl crimson fleet is top 1 BGS quests of all time
I like Starfield. There is just a hater bandwagon there for people to feel included like they never were in high school. They will complain about it online, yet somehow felt motivated to invest 100s of hours into it. 🤷
True a lot of people just regurgitate information they found from the original reviews and since those videos got so many views people fed into it. My guess is when the shattered star releases we will see a change in tune, especially if they can update the game till then.
I was popular in high school and never thought I'd refund a BGS title in a million years. So I bought the Premium Edition, played for a few hours, and refunded. Sad...
@@chrisnewbury3793 Well that's the point I made. I did the same thing then I forced myself to play more than a few hours and when the game opened up I found it significantly more fun than the opening sequence. That's essentially what this whole video is about lol
@@TahmidHO by a few I mean about 12. It was long enough to know I wanted to wait for mods at least.
@@chrisnewbury3793 As far as I know you can't refund a game after 12 hours so I am not sure I believe that.
It's an amazing game for sure! Have over 1500 hours in and never really got bored.. Now that mods are out it's even better..
Only reason this game was review bombed, was because they made it too accessible to casuals by putting it on game pass.. Bethesda games are for people who love role play mechanics, it's not really for casuals. Fallout 4 is an amazing game as well, but even that casuals don't really like it.. In my humble opinion, a 3A game should never go into game pass until it's 3rd year..
My personal opinion is starfield is the skyrim replacement. Since the pre-order early access started I haven't wanted to play skyrim anymore. Only BGS game I've been playing since it's release.
After the fallout show I wanted to play fallout 4, arguably my favorite fallout experience due to the gameplay even though New Vegas has a special place in my heart
@TahmidHO yeah the show was great, gave me the fallout bug for a bit but didn't last long. Fantasy and SiFi are my favorite to genres post apocalyptic would be third on my list. Now Bethesda offers a game to scratch all 3 for me.
haha Skyrim sold more than starfield over the holidays and Skyrim currently has double the live players. Starfield isn't replacing anything.
@numberonedad been playing skyrim since launch, starfield is the first game to keep me from going back to skyrim. So yeah starfield has replaced skyrim for me. Now when elder scrolls 6 comes it will most likely replace all other BGS games for me.
The lesson of this story: Don't listen to losers like Puke Stephens who go out of their way to hate on anything Bethesda.
The game has always been pretty good, it just needed more fine tuning; admittedly, the main story is still rather bland. But now that the CK is out and modders can work their magic this game is the bomb!
@@elimpoluto9952 I agree with you brilliantly
@@elimpoluto9952 but I think your IQ is a bit low
nah the moral is don't listen to losers like todd
amazing desert walking simulator
Admittedly there are some parts of the game where I have to walk around a lot open wastelands, but when exploring scarcely populated planets I'm sure that's what they want to go for. Cities like Neon, Aklia, are filled with stuff to do which again makes sense thematically.

The response at SF's release just proves how the gaming community is rooted in knee-jerk, impatient reactions in an art form that has clearly evolved to be a slow-burn, long-term process. Rage-bait abounds and very few have learned the lessons that NMS, Cyberpunk, Sea of Thieves, Star Citizen and the like have taught us. Release does not equal 'finished'. Especially with a game like this where BGS had openly admitted before it was even out that they were building it to be a decade-long game based on the model that Skyrim created.
SF is built to be a game that you play for awhile, move on to other things and loop back around to after several months to see what's new and how it's improved. I'm sick and tired of people talking about that strategy like it's some inexcusable sin. IT's literally what gaming in this era looks like.
For me, I put in about 80 hours in the first 2-3 months after release and came back to it once mod support on console was added- and I've never been mnore invested and excited for the future of a game as I am now. My favorite kinds of art are collaborative projects- and nothing is cooler than something where the audience is literally encouraged to add to the art and mold it to their wishes. The potential for this thing is so huge- and there will be a ton of fun and downright shocking additions to the framework that SF is built on over the next few years. I won't say I can't wait- because I can and I will- and I'll be more than happy to do so.
Glad you liked it ✊
Sad when your game needs paid mods to make it playable
For some of this video I have 10+ mods installed, all of which were free. Once again people looked at creation club read the headlines, and didn't experience it first hand. There are dozens of amazing mods for free, on creation club and on Nexus, just because theres some weirdo who thinks 10 dollars is acceptable for an armor mod doesn't mean every mod is like that.
Mid game for this generation. Probably very good game Pre-2015.
Can't really disagree with that honestly. Doesn't change the fact it's insanely fun but I wish Bethesda does a better job of modernizing there games.
Starfield is genuinely Brilliant ??? No it isn't, stop it ! it's a decent game and fun to play, but it's not brilliant or a masterpiece or anything like that. You are being disingenuous and gaslighting us now. Don't be fake and lie to your viewers bro.
I think that's a matter of opinion. I argued why I think the game is brilliant if beyond that you think I am wrong that's a subjective decision.
@@TahmidHO Yes, yes I heard your arguments and they were dog sh*t. That's why I said you were being disingenuous and gaslighting us. I don't think you really believe what you said in your video, but whatever. Anyhow, Mass Effect is way better. Mass Effect already showed people how to make a compelling space game back in 2007. You don't need or want big procedurally generated planets. You need witty banter, engaging combat, solid lore, and a believable and powerful threat to tackle. Starfield has none of these things. It's like they wanted to be a walking simulator or a more boring version of No Man's Sky. In No Man's Sky, at least you could fly around on the planet and land wherever you felt like. No Man's Sky was not a fun game, ever. Why they tried to emulate their game genre, in a worse way, is totally beyond me. To everyone out there watching this review this is totally a disingenuous review by "@TahmidHO" just stick to playing Mass Effect games instead guys, If you have not played any of these games yet. Trust me.
@@Mr.Davs2216 I mean I don't know how to convince you otherwise but I truly love this game
Look how upset you are because someone enjoys a video game that you don't. Are you an insecure control freak irl too? Or are you just a fckng weirdo? Maybe both eh?
@@JC23783 Not angry just pushing back on a false and disingenuous review. You can enjoy and have fun with a game, but that doesn't make it a brilliant or a masterpiece of a game. I said it was a decent game and fun to play, but no way is it a brilliant game, because that's just not true and it's a disingenuous review by the uploader. Starfield is just a testament to the idea that bigger or a lot more planets doesn’t always mean better. They went for "Quantity over Quality." Fallout 76’s entire marketing campaign was “it’s bigger AND better” and that game was complete shit. Pretty much the same thing with fallout 4, only except that game wasn’t COMPLETE shit, only MOSTLY shit. So counting Starfeild, that’s their last THREE games in the past almost NINE years. That’s NINE years of overselling and jank. So yeah, Bethesda as a company is a testament to the idea that “bigger doesn’t always mean better” since all they have been trying to do is make a bigger Fallout/Skyrim for almost a decade now. If you like Todd-slop and you are a fanboy follower of this channel just say so. Now be gone child.
You spelled mediocre wrong.
What makes you say that?
