BGS games in my mind are best described as adventure, simulation sandboxes with RPG elements layered on top. What we're seeing is more and more of the RPG, tailored content being removed in favor of the sandbox getting tools and telling the community "just imagine what you guys and gals can build here!" While I do like being able to mod these games and add to them, when the base game is lacking, it still shows, no matter how many mods you add.
There’s literally employees of Bethesda who said Lord Todd is a helicopter manager that filters the entire gameplay aspects of Starfield, like the aesthetic.
I actually fell asleep while playing Star field. I have never been so bored by a game. I was debating on buying a next gen Xbox and now I can't wait for the Switch 2
I never understood the housing game shop shit. Ok.... you pay $10 for a room. So.... now what? LOL Does anything happen in it? No.... so you can role play and live in a room. So you have your PC sit in the room.... and stare at a wall till you feel like standing up and actually do something. And they're making a profit cut on an unofficial patch for their own damn game. Also... mods that will eliminate achieving any achievements, I might add. Just to make their own game any better.

The Trackers Alliance 'creation' has already been bought over a million times. They really don't care what a few kiddos complain about on the interwebs
Exactly why I won't let a few whiners who clearly don't understand that you are not forced to buy anything to play Starfield if you still want a sniper rifle that can one or two shot enemies go with that hard target put skills in sniper cert, ballistic cert, critical strike thing cert concealment as well for that 5 times concealment ranged damage bonus
Yeah on you hand I get why people are upset that they can get mods but have to pay for it first on the other hand the base game of Starfield doesn't put a gun to your head and force you to buy anything if a player does buy something from the club it's all on the player they chose to cough up the cash but this TH-camr is clearly biased and forgot that point I don't want my first Bethesda game experience to be ruined by a bunch of cry babies
@@65firered thing is, this isn't even the first time they've tried paid mods. They did it to both Skyrim and Fallout 4 a few years back and got such harsh backlash from it that they very quickly dropped it. This isn't new, it's part of a pattern. I only brought up the horse armor thing because people actually remember that one.
@@jeezycreezy4220 I know, it's a problem every time but Bethesda is trying the Ubisoft approach, "keep trying until apathy sets in, then push beyond the boundary".
I don't think some people get it, but BGS releasing paid creations = DLC, not developer first paid mods - stop calling it micro transactions or other bullshit cause a microtransaction would be "spend $10 to get 500mn credits in Starfield" or "instant unity now for $3.99". That's it. Stop getting angry at BGS for releasing things on their own creation club. Also, honestly, since most mods on Nexus are also getting released on Creation Club, I'm just using it as a mod manager at this point. Yea, some mods are a bit expensive, but honestly, those are few and far between.
creation club is bethesda trying to squeeze more money from players after already charging them full price for the base game. if it were just to support modders, bethesda wouldn't be taking a huge cut, and wouldn't have their own mods on there. they want to turn their single player titles into "fallout 76" live service titles, without explicitly marketing them as such.
A mod for 10% of the base game cost is outrageous. For the price of 10 mods you could buy a "complete" game, if you can find one released as a complete game these days.
some of the creation club content for FO4 was actually very good and relatively good value for money I'm not against the 'concept' of curating modders into developers through this program, if that is what they are doing but this is icing on the cake stuff, starfield failed at the basic shit my favourite mod for Starfield is basic inventory management! ==== If the Mod Sim Settlements 2 was on creation club for Starfield, I'd pay $30 easily, that mod is just SO good in FO4 and would work so well in SF I really really hope you check out SS2 for FO4 Luke, its a whole new game! I'll never understand why Bethsda don't look at what their modders made and just copy it, some of the modder's ideas are just so good.
I LOVE starfield. Second favorite game behind KSP. I pray somehow we can get multiplayer, even if it’s just with one friend. I would pay for it even. I love the game, but it would be better with a friend.
Bethesda no longer makes games. They now make platforms for people to make the game for them. Edit: What VERY MUCH bugs me about some of this is the unofficial patch and script extenders are some of the most stable mods for the games SO WHY DOES BETHESDA NOT INTEGRATE THEM INTO THE GAME FROM THE START?!?!
Creation club is trying to borrow community goodwill by allowing modders to post and sell their mods, you would be really dumb to think BGS is not trying to take advantage of peoples work for their own profit. Also, BGS mods will always be on-top, meaning, instead of fixing their own game, they are selling you those fixes... Lack of content? Here`s a new questline for $7, tired of your ships? Here`s a new ship module set for $10, Oh companions are boring? Here`s a new Companion for $15...
The issue is scale. $7 is just way too much for a mission or $10 for a module for your ship... Maybe at 10% the price it might be a rounding error to people, when you're competing with FREE mods. I can see it being a lot more profitable to have players use a $10 charge-up for over 10 paid mods once a while. But I guess whales beat minnows with digital overhead.
I don't really understand - what is the problem exactly ? I mean, you can like Starfield or not, but I don't see how that is a problem. You don't have to buy any of the paid mods. Even if you haven't had an incredible time with Starfield, you probably played like 40 hours of it, and had some fun. That's a much better deal that many games out there. If BGS offers you something more and you don't like the pricing, don't buy it. If you are being honest, you cannot possibly say that Starfield is not a good deal in terms of time played for the money. They made many design mistakes in Starfield in my opinion, and it's by far their worst game (apart from Fallout 76 of course). But If this kind of microtransaction offer will save single player games, I'm all for it as long as the base game is respectable in quality and length, which it very much is in my opinion (it's an ok game, maybe 6/10). As for the idea that this platform is for the modders, I think that's true - it's half the truth of course, no one will say "hey, I want to make more money out of our players so here is this platform". Come on. Does Blizzard say it while gouging their players ? Of course not. Now if most modders don't want to charge for the mods they put on creation, that's their business. And I respect both modders that ask for payment and those that don't. Now the day a game feels really incomplete (as opposed to not great but just ok), and a company charges for bits of story on a very short single player game for example, then I'll have a major problem with that approach. Doesn't all that make some sense ? A final thought : it's ok to not like an approach, but what alternatives do you see ? Massive single player games are a huge investment for many companies, and not all games will end up a massive critical and commercial success like BG3. Just selling these games for 80$ as s single purchase will probably not be viable for very long considering the long development times these days, and I think alternatives to that model, even if they are flawed, are better than a shrinking offer in big single player games, which I admit I love more than any other genre. Thanks for reading if you got to here ! Ciao
Just a PSA. The Unofficial Starfield Patch is NOT good. They make a lot of unnecessary changes (not fixes, changes) and push the mod to other modders in order to create artificial dependencies. This is why it's so popular, because inexperienced modders have made their mods reliant on the Unofficial Starfield Patch to function.
What are people complaining about? Just like Skyrim, there's paid mods from Bethesda and other top tier modders, or there are free mods. Literally no news. As far as the new faction having paid content, like any added content, you don't have to buy it. Which then pivots to the argument "it should just be included". Why? It wasn't free to create. A dev was paid to make the weapons, characters, code it, voice act, make it essentially something that can be easily added. All of which is time and money. That being said, even the critique of the game and systems are inaccurate. The ship scrapping is where you have to pay to get your ship licensed in order to use it. Then you can do what you want with it. The 1000 credit old world boat themed hab, is both the fully furnished hab, the empty hab, and all of the items therein which can be used on any ship or in any on world hab too. So you're paying 1000 for a curated hab, an empty hab, and a ton of items to use as you see fit.
Lol, can we stop acting like Todd Howard isn't one of the most significant game industry PIMPS. The modders are the tricks, and the fan base is the custos.
The price points on these paid mods are clearly wrong. BGS has several of these overpriced. The Vulture should have been no more than half of its current cost. $3.00 for plushies for your ship and $10 for a single ship mod with a few ornamental additions are also overpriced. However, criticizing a business for selling, rather than giving away, seems to miss the point of actually operating a business. The reality is that, if BGS is smart, it will experiment with its price points until it finds the sweet spot - that spot where the price is not turning off people willing to pay for content.
Bethesda doesn't let you sell ships for what they're worth, because there is no large economy at work in the game. There is no empire building. Everything just works at a personal level. Starfield really is just a pointless expanse of rocks.
Lmao, that argument at the end about tip jars is pathetic. Would you be a youtuber if you relied only on a tip jar? No ad revenue, no Patreon, just donations. Also, as a modder, you're entirely wrong about the split for Fallout 4's creation club.
Totally get it but the mods wouldn't exist without the game itself. The modders obviously are willing despite the misleading PR, so yeah vote w ur $, agree.
Im so sick and tired of people crying about a few paid mods. Friends of mine on consoles have access to so many awesome FREE MODS that they would have never been able to try. No one is forcing you to buy any of the paid mods. And in general, the best mods are all free.
I dont think the creation club is a microtransaction a youtube described it nore like a service Also you people do realize you arbt force to download anything you dont have to download anything to play starfield also as Sista Citizen said (the youtuber) if Bethesda is profitting from community made mods the modder is still likely getting 80 or 90 percent of the money Bethesda Starfield is bot greedy bow starfield is my first Bethesda game so dont hate on me this was justbmy thoughts on this never played any other games by them so dont really know how bad their other games got it
No, I knew exactly where the $$ was going, I just didn’t care. It’s new game content. I wanted it, so I bought it. And it’s just fine. Todd gotta eat too. 😂
When it comes to mods i can't think of many games outside the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games that have a list of mods as long, with that said can we stop acting like paid mods havnet been a thing for a long ass time. There have been for a long time mods locked behind something like a patreon or people own sites using paypal, people are only upset because a company is involved. I dislike the paid mods crap, but i'm kinda numb to it since Starfield won't suddenly get better because of them.
I find it funny that the people who are complaining about “some” mods costing money to download, are the same people a few years ago who were wanting the modders who spent so much time creating mods to get paid by bethesda. 99% of mods on creation club are free. People just like farming drama.
I think Bethesda did a great job of creating the scaffolding for a game that could last years. I think it’s difficult to talk about them building a game like that for fear that people will have a knee-jerk reaction and think the game will be empty. And it was. Everything would have been mitigated had Bethesda been a more nimble company or utilized more studios. The game came out way too early at the same time that it had been delayed over a year. I don’t have a problem with independent devs getting paid. Maybe it will lead to fewer mods like StarUI where the dev makes a great mod and then goes awol because they can’t devote enough of their own time into it with no return.
All the neck bearded Bgs haters turn into revolutionaries when devs charge for a an item, but have no smoke for housing, healthcare, and corporate greed accounting for 35% of inflation
My response to Todd and BGS: "I hear you" ... (>> Resume to make fun of Todd and BGS and everything associated with them) :pepelaugh: I swear, the only stocks going up is the meme value.
Never was so happy not having bought a game. I think for this one I won't even buy the "super complete anniversary game of the year that never actually won the game of the year edition" even not on a discount. *shrug*
6:27 achilla, acrillla, whatever its called Well you certainly havbt played the game at all almost every named NPC mentioned Akilla City at one point or another but carry on
So instead of making a good game they decided to monetize the people that are tying to fix their games? Seems about right from the "Horse Armor Bethesda"
I'm still having fun though with Starfield, got to the part where the Starborn attack the lodge...dude just starts opening fire in public and causing mass hysteria...pretty gnarly
I blame more the community who engage in that bs than bathesda for doing it. If they see ppl are buying into the bs, then why wouldn’t bathesda do it? Don’t support bs and you won’t get bs.
Stay away from the unofficial patch, that was created by 1 modder that puts his own fixes into the game, there is the community starfield patch that addresses more issues and isn't any one persons personal fixes.
This video isnso hypcrotocsl. Modders make content for games that requires a high level of technical skill. Stephen makes content about games that requires lower skill. Would he be happy to be paid by optional patreon tips?
If he has a patreon and has people paying monthly just to see an extra video or 2 a month he's hypocritical like I have already said to a few commenters Bethesda isn't charging you to fire up your game ,it is pointing a gun at you saying cough up a buck to load your save it's not charging me anything to have fun, heck if you want to cheat your way to victory there's an entire section called CHEATS from what I've seen they are all free haha They just want the players to have fun
Modders decide if they charge or not. Work deserves to be paid. On their side, but also on the modder side. I want them to continue to develop for Starfield and them being paid for that work would help continue. The patch breaks my game… the most popular, as you pointed out, are not their mods… You make it sound like all these mods work together, I spent 4 hours just getting a combination of mods that work together. Your experience with modding sounds so different than many people’s experience, including mine.
He likely hates Starfield from launch figured it would be dead in the 8 months like everyone said it would be got more pissed that it didn't , and now thinks Starfield wants to scam everyone but forgot one major thing YOU aren't forced to download anything to have fun and play the game Bethesda doesn't care if you get all the achievements if you want a million credits off the bat go for it admin commands are easy to use if you want a mod that gives infinite everything might I suggest looking in the category called CHEATS haha
If you are REALLLLYYY supporting mod creators, and giving them full access to your studios and tools then they should be putting out stuff that reflects that. The problem with the creation club has ALWAYS been that what you asking me to pay for is worse than what's out there for free. I thought these creators were supposed to be curated and have your support? Help them make DLC or something in between a mod and DLC you know actually utilize this collaboration to your advantage and its potential. Clearly just a means to make money of modding. Also F@$# Bethesda for screwing over the FOLON team. Another reason I don't believe their lies.
It really says a lot when Larian encourages their fan base and has garnered a loyal following, that the fan base would make a game for them back. With this attitude, Larian will live on for a long time. These will be loyal customers. At least someone is doing it differently than what's here
Oh no, people need to avoid that Arthmoor patch. We can't keep rewarding that guy by making his mod essential for another Bethesda game. If you don't know about Arthmoor, just search the Skyrim or Starfield subreddits.
Oh, to think of what Monty Python would have done with this as a skit.... Todd: Oh yes, the Creator's Club....What's wrong with it? Customer: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'It's microtransactions, that's what's wrong with it! T: No, no, it's, uh ... a site to share mods! C: Look, my lad, I know a place with paid microtransaction when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. T: No, no, it's not about paid microtransactions! It's a community site! Remarkable site, this Creators' Corner, idn'it, ay? Beautiful place to help modders get paid, isn't it?! C: The modders don't enter into it. It's MICROTRANSACTIONS!
If bethesda didn't take a "cut" from sales it would be fine. But more insidious part - someday in one bright executive mind - they would monetize patches. And release more broken games and then make customers pay for the patches, that fix game breaking bugs. And they'll mask it as some "Oh new hat! Also it's a patch! Don't worry, we only fix the most broken parts of the game. What is there 5 bucks for a hat, if you get to play a fixed game?"
Based on bethesda, it doesn’t even seem like they make their own games. It’s like they outsource their games to another country to make a crappy version of a game
If Skyrim had been released last year Blackreach would be a paid mod.

While I do like being able to mod these games and add to them, when the base game is lacking, it still shows, no matter how many mods you add.
There’s literally employees of Bethesda who said Lord Todd is a helicopter manager that filters the entire gameplay aspects of Starfield, like the aesthetic.
Todd and his Ego
It's microtransactions but throws modders under the bus to save face.
I actually fell asleep while playing Star field. I have never been so bored by a game. I was debating on buying a next gen Xbox and now I can't wait for the Switch 2
I never understood the housing game shop shit. Ok.... you pay $10 for a room. So.... now what? LOL Does anything happen in it? No.... so you can role play and live in a room. So you have your PC sit in the room.... and stare at a wall till you feel like standing up and actually do something. And they're making a profit cut on an unofficial patch for their own damn game. Also... mods that will eliminate achieving any achievements, I might add. Just to make their own game any better.
The Trackers Alliance 'creation' has already been bought over a million times. They really don't care what a few kiddos complain about on the interwebs
Exactly why I won't let a few whiners who clearly don't understand that you are not forced to buy anything to play Starfield if you still want a sniper rifle that can one or two shot enemies go with that hard target put skills in sniper cert, ballistic cert, critical strike thing cert concealment as well for that 5 times concealment ranged damage bonus
I love all the people listening thinking their getting unbiased journalism 😅
Yeah on you hand I get why people are upset that they can get mods but have to pay for it first on the other hand the base game of Starfield doesn't put a gun to your head and force you to buy anything if a player does buy something from the club it's all on the player they chose to cough up the cash but this TH-camr is clearly biased and forgot that point I don't want my first Bethesda game experience to be ruined by a bunch of cry babies
This is the same company that charged $5 for horse armor. Why are people surprised that they'd pull something like this?
It's not surprising as much as it is frustrating. Besides it's not just consumers being ripped off but modders as well.
@@65firered thing is, this isn't even the first time they've tried paid mods. They did it to both Skyrim and Fallout 4 a few years back and got such harsh backlash from it that they very quickly dropped it. This isn't new, it's part of a pattern. I only brought up the horse armor thing because people actually remember that one.
@@jeezycreezy4220 I know, it's a problem every time but Bethesda is trying the Ubisoft approach, "keep trying until apathy sets in, then push beyond the boundary".
I don't think some people get it, but BGS releasing paid creations = DLC, not developer first paid mods - stop calling it micro transactions or other bullshit cause a microtransaction would be "spend $10 to get 500mn credits in Starfield" or "instant unity now for $3.99". That's it. Stop getting angry at BGS for releasing things on their own creation club.
Also, honestly, since most mods on Nexus are also getting released on Creation Club, I'm just using it as a mod manager at this point. Yea, some mods are a bit expensive, but honestly, those are few and far between.
happy playing with dlc's
creation club is bethesda trying to squeeze more money from players after already charging them full price for the base game. if it were just to support modders, bethesda wouldn't be taking a huge cut, and wouldn't have their own mods on there. they want to turn their single player titles into "fallout 76" live service titles, without explicitly marketing them as such.
A mod for 10% of the base game cost is outrageous. For the price of 10 mods you could buy a "complete" game, if you can find one released as a complete game these days.
The fact that it takes 10+ years to make slop like this should be embarrassing
Every time you read the description of the BGS official mods, they sound like mini DLCs. Fallout 4 had a few of these. You guys are just crybabies lol
some of the creation club content for FO4 was actually very good and relatively good value for money
I'm not against the 'concept' of curating modders into developers through this program, if that is what they are doing
but this is icing on the cake stuff, starfield failed at the basic shit
my favourite mod for Starfield is basic inventory management!
====
If the Mod Sim Settlements 2 was on creation club for Starfield, I'd pay $30 easily, that mod is just SO good in FO4 and would work so well in SF
I really really hope you check out SS2 for FO4 Luke, its a whole new game!
I'll never understand why Bethsda don't look at what their modders made and just copy it, some of the modder's ideas are just so good.
I LOVE starfield. Second favorite game behind KSP. I pray somehow we can get multiplayer, even if it’s just with one friend. I would pay for it even. I love the game, but it would be better with a friend.
This Game is sheeeeeeeet
Bethesda no longer makes games. They now make platforms for people to make the game for them.
Edit: What VERY MUCH bugs me about some of this is the unofficial patch and script extenders are some of the most stable mods for the games SO WHY DOES BETHESDA NOT INTEGRATE THEM INTO THE GAME FROM THE START?!?!
Hate incoming....
Creation club is trying to borrow community goodwill by allowing modders to post and sell their mods, you would be really dumb to think BGS is not trying to take advantage of peoples work for their own profit.
Also, BGS mods will always be on-top, meaning, instead of fixing their own game, they are selling you those fixes... Lack of content? Here`s a new questline for $7, tired of your ships? Here`s a new ship module set for $10, Oh companions are boring? Here`s a new Companion for $15...
The Creation tab also yeets you out of the game randomly (CTD) just while browsing it.
The issue is scale. $7 is just way too much for a mission or $10 for a module for your ship...
Maybe at 10% the price it might be a rounding error to people, when you're competing with FREE mods.
I can see it being a lot more profitable to have players use a $10 charge-up for over 10 paid mods once a while. But I guess whales beat minnows with digital overhead.
I don't really understand - what is the problem exactly ? I mean, you can like Starfield or not, but I don't see how that is a problem. You don't have to buy any of the paid mods. Even if you haven't had an incredible time with Starfield, you probably played like 40 hours of it, and had some fun. That's a much better deal that many games out there. If BGS offers you something more and you don't like the pricing, don't buy it. If you are being honest, you cannot possibly say that Starfield is not a good deal in terms of time played for the money. They made many design mistakes in Starfield in my opinion, and it's by far their worst game (apart from Fallout 76 of course). But If this kind of microtransaction offer will save single player games, I'm all for it as long as the base game is respectable in quality and length, which it very much is in my opinion (it's an ok game, maybe 6/10). As for the idea that this platform is for the modders, I think that's true - it's half the truth of course, no one will say "hey, I want to make more money out of our players so here is this platform". Come on. Does Blizzard say it while gouging their players ? Of course not. Now if most modders don't want to charge for the mods they put on creation, that's their business. And I respect both modders that ask for payment and those that don't. Now the day a game feels really incomplete (as opposed to not great but just ok), and a company charges for bits of story on a very short single player game for example, then I'll have a major problem with that approach. Doesn't all that make some sense ?
A final thought : it's ok to not like an approach, but what alternatives do you see ? Massive single player games are a huge investment for many companies, and not all games will end up a massive critical and commercial success like BG3. Just selling these games for 80$ as s single purchase will probably not be viable for very long considering the long development times these days, and I think alternatives to that model, even if they are flawed, are better than a shrinking offer in big single player games, which I admit I love more than any other genre. Thanks for reading if you got to here ! Ciao
Just a PSA. The Unofficial Starfield Patch is NOT good. They make a lot of unnecessary changes (not fixes, changes) and push the mod to other modders in order to create artificial dependencies. This is why it's so popular, because inexperienced modders have made their mods reliant on the Unofficial Starfield Patch to function.
something extra sleezy, on PC it's mostly fine due to none creation club mods, but creation club is pretty much it on xbox?
What are people complaining about? Just like Skyrim, there's paid mods from Bethesda and other top tier modders, or there are free mods. Literally no news. As far as the new faction having paid content, like any added content, you don't have to buy it. Which then pivots to the argument "it should just be included". Why? It wasn't free to create. A dev was paid to make the weapons, characters, code it, voice act, make it essentially something that can be easily added. All of which is time and money. That being said, even the critique of the game and systems are inaccurate. The ship scrapping is where you have to pay to get your ship licensed in order to use it. Then you can do what you want with it. The 1000 credit old world boat themed hab, is both the fully furnished hab, the empty hab, and all of the items therein which can be used on any ship or in any on world hab too. So you're paying 1000 for a curated hab, an empty hab, and a ton of items to use as you see fit.
Macrotrasactions for Microcontent. Well... who's stupid enough for that...
Lol, can we stop acting like Todd Howard isn't one of the most significant game industry PIMPS. The modders are the tricks, and the fan base is the custos.
The price points on these paid mods are clearly wrong. BGS has several of these overpriced. The Vulture should have been no more than half of its current cost. $3.00 for plushies for your ship and $10 for a single ship mod with a few ornamental additions are also overpriced. However, criticizing a business for selling, rather than giving away, seems to miss the point of actually operating a business. The reality is that, if BGS is smart, it will experiment with its price points until it finds the sweet spot - that spot where the price is not turning off people willing to pay for content.
Bethesda doesn't let you sell ships for what they're worth, because there is no large economy at work in the game. There is no empire building. Everything just works at a personal level. Starfield really is just a pointless expanse of rocks.
Lmao, that argument at the end about tip jars is pathetic.
Would you be a youtuber if you relied only on a tip jar?
No ad revenue, no Patreon, just donations.
Also, as a modder, you're entirely wrong about the split for Fallout 4's creation club.
Totally get it but the mods wouldn't exist without the game itself. The modders obviously are willing despite the misleading PR, so yeah vote w ur $, agree.
Who cares?
All the free mods make paid mods IRRELEVANT.
Don't like paid mods? Don't buy them...all this whinging is cringe af.
Im so sick and tired of people crying about a few paid mods. Friends of mine on consoles have access to so many awesome FREE MODS that they would have never been able to try. No one is forcing you to buy any of the paid mods. And in general, the best mods are all free.
I dont think the creation club is a microtransaction a youtube described it nore like a service
Also you people do realize you arbt force to download anything you dont have to download anything to play starfield also as Sista Citizen said (the youtuber) if Bethesda is profitting from community made mods the modder is still likely getting 80 or 90 percent of the money Bethesda Starfield is bot greedy bow starfield is my first Bethesda game so dont hate on me this was justbmy thoughts on this never played any other games by them so dont really know how bad their other games got it
No, I knew exactly where the $$ was going, I just didn’t care. It’s new game content. I wanted it, so I bought it. And it’s just fine. Todd gotta eat too. 😂
When it comes to mods i can't think of many games outside the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games that have a list of mods as long, with that said can we stop acting like paid mods havnet been a thing for a long ass time. There have been for a long time mods locked behind something like a patreon or people own sites using paypal, people are only upset because a company is involved.
I dislike the paid mods crap, but i'm kinda numb to it since Starfield won't suddenly get better because of them.
I find it funny that the people who are complaining about “some” mods costing money to download, are the same people a few years ago who were wanting the modders who spent so much time creating mods to get paid by bethesda. 99% of mods on creation club are free. People just like farming drama.
I think Bethesda did a great job of creating the scaffolding for a game that could last years. I think it’s difficult to talk about them building a game like that for fear that people will have a knee-jerk reaction and think the game will be empty. And it was. Everything would have been mitigated had Bethesda been a more nimble company or utilized more studios. The game came out way too early at the same time that it had been delayed over a year. I don’t have a problem with independent devs getting paid. Maybe it will lead to fewer mods like StarUI where the dev makes a great mod and then goes awol because they can’t devote enough of their own time into it with no return.
Also BTW the Unofficial Patch can cause problems. And Nexus is run by a bunch of panzy clowns.
13:37 the chop shop is the reason why Hannibal is wanted by the Trackers Alliance so you just contradicted yourself
Yeah, they care so much about the modders… let‘s ask the crew behind Fallout London😅
All the neck bearded Bgs haters turn into revolutionaries when devs charge for a an item, but have no smoke for housing, healthcare, and corporate greed accounting for 35% of inflation
I bookmarked it so many months from now when its 75% off on a random sale and finally a fair ish price I can consider picking it up.
My response to Todd and BGS: "I hear you" ... (>> Resume to make fun of Todd and BGS and everything associated with them) :pepelaugh: I swear, the only stocks going up is the meme value.
Never was so happy not having bought a game.
I think for this one I won't even buy the "super complete anniversary game of the year that never actually won the game of the year edition" even not on a discount. *shrug*
Do coverage over Wayward Realms It’s from the creators of Elder scrolls and actually looks like the Starfield concept except with a boat. ❤❤please
I am a whale! I love to support Starfield.. and i am one of those 9000 players. Damn i feel so proud of myself.😸
We need a luke interview with Todd
6:27 achilla, acrillla, whatever its called
Well you certainly havbt played the game at all almost every named NPC mentioned Akilla City at one point or another but carry on
So instead of making a good game they decided to monetize the people that are tying to fix their games? Seems about right from the "Horse Armor Bethesda"
I'm still having fun though with Starfield, got to the part where the Starborn attack the lodge...dude just starts opening fire in public and causing mass hysteria...pretty gnarly
Am I the only one who liked this game??? Like I’ve got 600 hours in it and still play.
This will be made all the worse when BG3 launches console mod support and it will almost certainly be free
I blame more the community who engage in that bs than bathesda for doing it.
If they see ppl are buying into the bs, then why wouldn’t bathesda do it?
Don’t support bs and you won’t get bs.
Days without Starfield fucking up: 0
I wounder if modders just take the added dlc and make a free version to bypass Bethesda it would be funny
You also can't be critical about everything, don't want don't buy
I don’t mind paying for something good. As long as it’s good, noting should be free.
USE THE COMMUNITY PATCH, *NOT* THE UNOFFICIAL PATCH, PEOPLE!!!!
BGS is a really innovative company when they can make money on their uselessness.
No money goes to the modders, they then contract some modders to have there stuff on the service if its like skyrim
Bg3 mod support for free, what company should you support
First in the comment ever. Chee!
Stay away from the unofficial patch, that was created by 1 modder that puts his own fixes into the game, there is the community starfield patch that addresses more issues and isn't any one persons personal fixes.
Pretty ballsy from that guy, hijacking the name of one of the most important Bethesda games mod series.
This video isnso hypcrotocsl. Modders make content for games that requires a high level of technical skill. Stephen makes content about games that requires lower skill. Would he be happy to be paid by optional patreon tips?
If he has a patreon and has people paying monthly just to see an extra video or 2 a month he's hypocritical like I have already said to a few commenters Bethesda isn't charging you to fire up your game ,it is pointing a gun at you saying cough up a buck to load your save it's not charging me anything to have fun, heck if you want to cheat your way to victory there's an entire section called CHEATS from what I've seen they are all free haha They just want the players to have fun
The only reason im not surprised or phased by this is because im a 12y ubisoft fan. This is a regular occurrence 😂
Nothing weong with paying for someone's hard work.
People really complain that they can't get free mods? 🙄
Is that.. is that jackie chan on your candle? 😍
Got here too early. I'll hop back when they add vehicles I wanna see how janky it will be lol. I feel like there will be some funny collision bugs.
Sadly not even vehicles will fix the core issues this game has
@@MumboJumboZXC I am not saying they will but would be funny to go flying. Like the swing glitch in GTA 4.
Likely will do some flying if on a low gravity world or moons
Remember when Puke Stephens claimed that modders wouldn't even waste time making free mods for Starfield?
Pepperidge farms remembers.
Your pretty honest at all times I can tell and I respect it!
Flash backs of the horse armour price (£2.50)
Flash backs: £5.75 phial of fantasia (sex change in ffxiv - $10 if you're 🇺🇸)
I remember the Morrowind propylon.
In all fairness Luke the unofficial patch is the top mod on Skyrim and fallout 4 as well
And that makes things better?
Modders decide if they charge or not.
Work deserves to be paid. On their side, but also on the modder side.
I want them to continue to develop for Starfield and them being paid for that work would help continue.
The patch breaks my game… the most popular, as you pointed out, are not their mods…
You make it sound like all these mods work together, I spent 4 hours just getting a combination of mods that work together.
Your experience with modding sounds so different than many people’s experience, including mine.
He likely hates Starfield from launch figured it would be dead in the 8 months like everyone said it would be got more pissed that it didn't , and now thinks Starfield wants to scam everyone but forgot one major thing YOU aren't forced to download anything to have fun and play the game Bethesda doesn't care if you get all the achievements if you want a million credits off the bat go for it admin commands are easy to use if you want a mod that gives infinite everything might I suggest looking in the category called CHEATS haha
Bethesda just wants players to have fun yet lots of players are doing their hardest to ruin it for everyone else😂😂
If you are REALLLLYYY supporting mod creators, and giving them full access to your studios and tools then they should be putting out stuff that reflects that. The problem with the creation club has ALWAYS been that what you asking me to pay for is worse than what's out there for free. I thought these creators were supposed to be curated and have your support? Help them make DLC or something in between a mod and DLC you know actually utilize this collaboration to your advantage and its potential. Clearly just a means to make money of modding. Also F@$# Bethesda for screwing over the FOLON team. Another reason I don't believe their lies.
It really says a lot when Larian encourages their fan base and has garnered a loyal following, that the fan base would make a game for them back. With this attitude, Larian will live on for a long time. These will be loyal customers. At least someone is doing it differently than what's here
I honestly don't care
Oh no, people need to avoid that Arthmoor patch. We can't keep rewarding that guy by making his mod essential for another Bethesda game. If you don't know about Arthmoor, just search the Skyrim or Starfield subreddits.
Oh, to think of what Monty Python would have done with this as a skit....
Todd: Oh yes, the Creator's Club....What's wrong with it?
Customer: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'It's microtransactions, that's what's wrong with it!
T: No, no, it's, uh ... a site to share mods!
C: Look, my lad, I know a place with paid microtransaction when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
T: No, no, it's not about paid microtransactions! It's a community site! Remarkable site, this Creators' Corner, idn'it, ay? Beautiful place to help modders get paid, isn't it?!
C: The modders don't enter into it. It's MICROTRANSACTIONS!
If bethesda didn't take a "cut" from sales it would be fine.
But more insidious part - someday in one bright executive mind - they would monetize patches. And release more broken games and then make customers pay for the patches, that fix game breaking bugs. And they'll mask it as some "Oh new hat! Also it's a patch! Don't worry, we only fix the most broken parts of the game. What is there 5 bucks for a hat, if you get to play a fixed game?"
Dear frogs, we're listening to your invaluable feedback and will adjust future temperatures accordingly!
Based on bethesda, it doesn’t even seem like they make their own games. It’s like they outsource their games to another country to make a crappy version of a game
or to Game Mill Entertainment.
i wish there was a mod for starfield that made the game fun.
