Clearly this game had a vision, but i have no idea wether it was even good or bad. In a way its a shame it got lost and even more the effect it had on the studio. Lastly, it being a no-microtransaction single player game will likely serve as an excuse for EA to go more draconic again in their practises.

I found the Rev-8 to be more Bethesda FU to the players. It is slow, if it goes fast too long the engine can't keep up. On many planets it is a major source of frustration. In real life NASA put multiple vehicles on the moon and they trekked around with little issue. Stick the Rev-8 on the moon and wow...people in the future have no idea of traction control or speed control. Instead you are stuck spinning about uncontrollably on several planets. And why can't the survivalist we save hop in back? Or if we have Vasco he hops in the passenger seat...lame that we leave him running to catch up with no support...wow, some rescue.

So many other possible good stories but they stick us with the one where we have to self end to complete it.....for a game that has been nerfed so much so as to not offend the snowflakes they don't give a second thought to those who have had family or friends do that.

This game is nothing but missed opportunities.... It makes no sense to have so many stories, yet choosing a faction doesn't lock you out of other factions, especially when the main story ending is new game plus. The difference between universes is negligible. Exploration is horrible. 1000 planets, nothing to see there of interest. So much of the side missions are uninteresting and a waste of time. The skill trees make no sense, and are frustrating. They pour in loads of mediocre content, with so little that's good. They should've focused more on the core story, and what mechanics push that narrative from a gameplay perspective... You know what would do that? MAKING MY CHOICES MATTER. If what I do would lock me out of other paths, if the world would have more drastic changes and new missions with each new game+, that would support the narrative and make me want to keep going into new game+. Why would I ever as the game is? I can do everything in my first play through, and I know most of my choices have either no consequences, or the consequences are so vague that your choice doesn't feel like it's interesting enough to see the other choices. I don't want 100 systems with nothing to do, I want 10 with interesting content that changes in each universe.

With the vanguard quest line, it would have been exponentially better if after taking down the crimson fleet or the vigilance if either Delgado or Akande were to send you to take down ecliptic and the spacers

Totally agree with the larger point of the Vanguard questline being the most high-stakes, macro, and compelling, as well as the spot-on observation that all of the mech references are the equivalent of introducing power armor in Fallout and then not letting players use them.

Finally a voice of reason - 700 hours and still going. At Oblivions release, Bethesda told me, that after the prisontutorial, I would have total freedom, as of how to play the game - the quests would turn up (automatically), as I played. It has been like that since then. Playing Starfield for me is like revisiting an old friend. There is only ONE bethesda game and it has been improved upon since ES1 - a clear line of gamefeature progression. Skyrim is clearly the masterpiece, and those dont "grow on trees"! Starfield is a fine game (Mass Effect 1 2.0).❤

idk if someone needs to say "your playing it wrong" , maybe it's not that great. That being said people can like w/e tf they want, hell i love FF13 and 15 and people crap on them all the time.

I bought my first gaming PC for this game, the possible new war and the UC Quest were good, but by now I have played WAY more Skyrim and Fallout on the new rig than this...

Instead of reaching the unity, isn't it more likely that Jinaan might have accidentally reached the vortex? The vortex drives phantoms mad and twists people into abominations. Could a encounter with the vortex have driven Jinaan mad?

This game is pure trash and you are a shill.

Nothing and garbage after a year of supposed work being done. Bethesda is going to need to pay us to touch their games. Don't even get a big boss fight, so damn lazy

My first play through of Starfield was totally spent exploring as many plants as possible. I did do some side quests, but no main quest lines at all. I got up to level 230 of so, had been to 2/3's of all the planets. I had built about 6 outposts, and pretty much knew what skills one needed for a good play through. The more you put in the more one gets out. Most seem to want instant gratification and if that is what your looking for Starfield isn't your game. You have to invest in it to get something out of it. Are there issues of cause there are every game has them. No one that plays any game doesn't have issues of some kind so get over it. BGS has fixed a lot of issues with Starfield, even gave us the Rev 8, but only after his bosses put the screws to him to do it. I'd like to think it was the player base that put the pressure on Todd but it wasn't. And that is because Todd is very ridged in his planning he will not stray from the plain. Most of the planets were not designed with the Rev-8 in mined. My biggest issue for me was they didn't have enough writers, one writer doesn't cut it. In the main game all 4 companions have pretty much the same story line give or take. If you had 4 different writers for each of them this dynamic would be completely different. Because no two writers write in the same way. We might have gotten a companion willing to go down the dark side to get something done. More over if you do something to piss off one of them they go off the deep end giving you shit. And the game doesn't give you any way to fight back, except to kiss there ass and say i won't do it again. Life doesn't work like that. We the player need some options for fighting back against their holler than thou act. This way you keep things more balanced and believable. Well I think I'll gone on long enough.

The way you talk about the missed opportunity of the war playing an active role, the more I am reminded of Operation Anchorage and can see Bethesda pulling a similar move on us in a DLC.

I agree on the "there's a lot of random stuff on these empty planets." Removinf or significantly reducing the random POIs generated when landing on otherwise unoccupied planets with more natural landmarks (and the occasional space pirate landing) and having those POIs be detectable from space would have been a better direction imo.

I believe you hit the nail on head with the artifact dilemma being kept in house with constellation. When I play starfield, I constantly think about how there’s barely any interaction with the major factions and they just have no knowledge of the artifacts. Even with the whole theme of exploration with constellation and its inspiration of explorers throughout history, it missed out on how discovery inadvertently inspired nations to engage in conflict. The discovery of the new world motivated nations to lay claim to new lands before someone else did. It’s just such a missed opportunity that multidimensional travel is discovered and no tension is exerted on the galaxy as a whole. How am I supposed to care that the unity is such an important thing when the game world could not be bothered about it

I think the easiest way to reconcile "how are there multiple versions of the same person in the same universe?" is that there are probably infinite multiverses. Could also be the hunter is "passing through" while Aquilus has settled down. They're all on a bigass circle, each goes a certain distance, but they all started at different points.

“No unique items”. Blinks in confusion, looks down at Revenant in my hands, remembers listening to the crew logs on the Legacy, and makes a wtf expression.

big disagree, the worldbuilding is bad

Something worth mentioning is that the journey the colonists took on the Archimedes took a whole year. They left Mars in 2090, but only reached the Kavnyk system in 2091. Grav jumps are supposed to be instant. They may have needed to stop to mine helium 3 for their future grav jumps, taking months of their time, or they may have literally lost a year during the final grav jump, which would mean that jump was genuinely special

Hate Shattered Space as a dlc, love being able to f-off an entire game faction, as goofy, by design, as they are.

I belive the story should have been set during the colony wars, with the player being able to play the faction quests to influence the war or find the artifects to escape it. the main story should have been reduced to side missions and the faction quests influence each other. would have given it a more indiana jones feeling too. Overall i belive Bethesda should stop main stories as the average bethesda player gets side tracked instantly.

Despite all the hate, I am loving the DLC. Not perfect but still really good in my opinion

Should have been able to convince the council that Jinaan was a madman and to change their ways, the opposing members could leave and join up with the unresolved Zealots and we could have felt a sense of changing the world.

That character design you chose is great 🤣

"The Story of Shattered Space: Snake Cult formed by a fanatical and deranged lunatic blows itself up." "Lesson Learned: Don't follow the teachings of a fanatical and deranged lunatic. It won't end well." That is all.

Barret can hear anasko too

I've been having a blast with Rogue City for the most part. As for the devs, I agree with some other people who've said they do do a Jidge Dredd movie next, based off the 2012 movie and bring Karl Urban back to voice him

The four different variations of "Bugs" made me laugh harder than it should have 😂 Great video!

How to enjoy Starfield? By not playing it.

God, I hope you're completely wrong. I want the space snake to be real.

Thanks man

Isn't it more likely that Jinaan accidentally jumped into the vortex instead of the unity?

Tbh I kinda lost interest when it turned out to be multiverse stuff. I was really hoping for a first contact with aliens type story and I was really enjoying the story till that point.

I'm actually happy starfield mostly stays away from galaxy ending threats.

I just wish we could get 4 player coop on any of there main titles I know there are mods but still

The real story of Shattered Space is the ego of BGS

It's easier to think of the starborn as humans who turned into like what was said in the video "stardust", and lets say space is like a desert. You take a single grain of sand from a desert and after a very very long time of counting, you'll realize that it's futile and exhausting to count the sand and just stop counting.

I was excited to see some form of Starborn faction(s) only available after completion of the game. Which could’ve of been a means to experience the story from a perspective removed from regular humans. Which probably would’ve given actual weight to the Emissary and Hunter choice. Or if you simply wanted to do the fastest option you’d grind it out with the humans or experience their story again. That way it would allow for the conflict mentioned in the Starborn while still offering the experience of being able to do whatever. I started out hoping to be the Blind beggar from RDR2 instead I got one backstory line (pilgrim) and my inter-dimensional experiences didn’t apply to really anything outside of the Constellation quest line in which I could skip.

I guess I liked most of the whole game, but after Unity, it seemed dull and I hate that I lost the whole team later after a few restarts then I have a home filled with a bunch of me's and I no longer have any crew :( Yes I know some crew can be found around the world in bars and things but that seems like far too much work when I had a perfect starter crew just waiting for me and they had skills like stealth for rifle user etc and crew that could fix my ship, life was good and then it was fucked. So when I lose the starting team the game starts to piss me off.

I like it, but was expecting more of something new and less of the old It’s now a bigger shallow pond Instead of making a deep end while making it bigger they just made. Hot tub

It would’ve been cool if you had the option to pick a faction to help you assault the hurried temple at the end of the game. Like, you have a choice between the factions that you’ve allied yourself with, and whichever one you choose would sends a group of ships and foot soldiers to assist in the final battle. Imagine facing the Scorpio/Helix with a fleet of vanguard ships at your back, or storming the buried temple with a crew of crimson fleet pirates. That would’ve been EPIC.

It's lazy writing

I can’t wait to play this game when it’s $20, I’ll wait 5 years

The whole idea of people lost between universes immediately stood out to me as having something to do with the unity, even the underlying grav jump details. Perhaps house varuun tried creating an artificial way to travel to the unity with these technologies, without really understanding it. Causing them to fail and create the mess they did

I th6the next DLC being about Starborn will finally piece together the contact between Keeper and Jinan. That battle is what is the Varuun obsession with the serpents crusade. Bethesda gets a lot of smoke for all the plot holes. However I need the open holes to role play. I feel Bethesda games made like Startield gives so much more than other RPG games that paint the whole world for the player. I think it's a 7 out if 10 like the base game plus it gets a bonus point for the ability to use my imagination with numerous characters in so many ways.

So basically House Va'runn is Bethesda.

The whole "he was wearing a serpent outfit when he entered the Unity" concept is frigging AWESOME!! That is the exact type of zany goofiness that this game needs. He's not Starbourn because the Unity saw him....knew that he was shithouse crazy....and sent his ass back!😂😅🎉

The main Va'arun story, was just... DUMB. Really STUPID, and LAZY. Why was there a disaster which reduced House Va'arun to a shadow of its former self? YOU might say to let the PC swoop in to this isolated, feudal, almost tribal, theocracy, and play.....idk... a ... 'White Savior' ...of a kind. I say it was because writing a House Va'arun what was whole, strong, stable, at its peak, and exploring the politics of why SOME dynasties within the House, sought to rekindle the Crusade and were working with Zealots, whilst others sought to maintain peace, and even continue limits engagement with the settles systems, by keeping an Ambassador on site, for example, in the Va'arun Embassy in New Atlantis... whilst others still sought to retreat in to isolation, give up their Crusade, but also stop any meaningful interactions with the settled systems....... well writing all that... was JUST TOO HARD. It was beyond those schlock dripping cliched BUMS. Shattered Space was weaker than my 99 year old gran, because BGS' writing, and design, these days is that weak, they are weak and lazy, and made a weak lazy DLV which ultimately has NO redeeming features. Dazra sucks. Vaarun 'kai sucks. Their people suck. Simonha or whatever her idiotic name is, and Tavase, SUCK. The aesthetic of the place SUCKS. I certainly did not love it... but I did not hate it.... it just SUCKED. And for that, I HATE Bethesda. Worthless degenerate pieces of human excrement, that they are. They are doomed, Starfield as a whole, spells DISASTER for this Studio. Fallout 5 and TES VI are going to be BAD man, so effing bad... and for ruining something loved, even though they have not yet, because those games are not out... but they WILL because SF shows where they're headed.... I will hate THEM passionately.

Bethesda even had trouble keeping ONE quest line's events straight in itself. Remember the banter where Cora tells a joke, and her dad Sam says "Tell that one to Barrett!"......AFTER Barret was killed ?! 🤣
