"i feel like there is some promise in this system as a live service game" hahahahaha "starfield's going to be played for years into the future" even funnier
Everything I play the game or pause to save, quicksave, or load the whole game becomes silent and I had to reinstall the game over and over it is annoying. They need to fix it
"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just cringy cosmetic horse armor." "Oh, it's not a big deal, after all lootboxes don't give you an advantage." "Oh, it's not a big deal, it's better than back when you had to buy these big expansion packs separately, as after all now nobody gets left out. What? Less content per expansion? What are you GREEDY?!" "Oh, it's not a big deal, technically you CAN earn everything in a battle-pass, so long as you don't CHEAT ON THIS GAME WITH ANOTHER, YOU AMOROUS GAMER! HOW DARE YOU LIKE OTHER GAMES!" "Oh, look, an in-game store, sure you can buy actual advantages here, but at least the purchases are direct!" 'HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS COMPLETELY NORMAL PRACTICE, YOU SHOULD PAY MORE FOR YOUR GAMES!" ...Proof that not all slippery slopes are particularly fallacious.
You've never done that with a Bethesda game. Not unless you bought Daggerfall or Arena or something like that. I'm NOT defending the Vulture BS, that's a very, VERY bad price for content, but if we can get Bethesda to start regularly updating the game with things that have a similar price to content ratio of their expansions for the various Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, I'm all for it. The problem here is purely the amount of content for the price, not the idea itself.
Right? And whatever expansions were big, such as the additions to Morrowind. I can see paying for an entire new region, but a fancy new outfit or a single quest? Nah.
I agree, but wait some time and there will be a free version😂 also when modders actually get mods done with creation kit you'll see paid mods with better value. Eventually you'll see DLCs sized ones for less than skins in other games
Indeed, but they also give the community the ability to create free content to compete with their paid content, who else is doing that? I’m just gonna keep downloading free mods, they can do whatever they want with paid ones as long as they keep the ability for the free ones to be made and distributed. At that point, if the modding scene turns corporate, it’ll be the modders choice
@@GoalOrientedLifting Keep dreaming. If history is any indicator what you'll see is a continuation of bad value from The Creation Club with similar and generally superior mods still being free. They keep thinking this is going to work because Fallout 76 caught them some whales and Captain Ahab's got nothing on Todd Howard.
they added modding support way too late, everyone already sees this game as a failure. so it's far too late for the modding community to properly save it.
@@peacefusion They aren't, people just like to complain. That said, the prices are to high for what they are offering. Although the ship part is not *that* outrageous considering you get a large amount of decor as well, and people seem to have no problem paying the same price (10$) for a decor pack with less items in it for the Sims games.
@@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveau They do not and lets not normalize the thought of them charging for mods/creations once again. What do you think will happen to the modding community, if it were normalized to charge for mods? Same thing will happen as most other communities, most people will charge for their mods, even through it is simple and basic. Bethesda will get a cut of these charges and that is their wet dream, so even through your comments does not reflect of someone defending them, then please look upon what will happen if Bethesda were enabled by a passive community to convert mods to paid "creations".
Actually, the price is a lot more reasonable than other games like Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, and any other Ubisoft game, as well as fighting games and Starcraft. I could go on about this misguided anger when there are many other games charging the price of a console or more for skins. So, I see nothing wrong with a couple of bucks for DLC quests and another couple of bucks for a ship.
It has become very obvious why a lot of the game is just an open canvas with so much repetitiveness; They had foresight when it came to the paid mods. It dictated how they developed the game. Something you can't see in Skyrim, or even FO4. When you look at some of the top mods, it just makes sense, just how many aspects of the game they decided to not flesh out, knowing that they'd be filled up later with 5, 10 dollar mods. It just brings it all together for me. I used to be kinda baffled by some of the choices they made...this is the answer.
The reason not everything is fleshed out is because no game developer can flesh out 1000 planets, that being said SF has by far more handcrafted content than any other BGS game, additionally to all that handcrafted content they added a massive canvas because they saw the reason people keep playing Skyrim after 13 years is because of Mods, that way modders can go wild, whether is paid or free; on the creations page or on the nexus, is the modders decision, they only added options, they didn't took away anything. If you don't like their implementation because the handcrafted content is to far apart that's perfectly valid, you don't have to like every popular game that comes out, but your reasoning about their "foresight" is completely backwards.
@@BernardoPC117 "SF has by far more handcrafted content than any other BGS game" u serious? even the main plot locations seem pretty generic most of the time.
@@comebackkid44723 How does that explain why they won't increase it for Fallout 4? I assumed it's because Starfied is on a newer updated version of Creation Engine and Fallout 4 can't handle it. I don't mean this in a toxic way just genuinely curious
@@BadCompany115 nah not even then. The cities can’t afford cameras with built in scanners? Fugitives shouldn’t be able to roam period. The capitalism in the settled systems is too developed for a private security sector to not only exist but service all cities Galbank exists across the settled systems but the cities can’t afford good security infrastructure? Nah it doesn’t add up at all, scanning fugitives with the hand scanner would only work in the frontier
Soooo will Bethesda ever make it so that PAID Creations dont Disable Achievements/Trophies? There is no reason to buy something if it disables a Key Feature of the Base Game...................
It's a shame that people are starting to accept paid mods now. The 2 last times Bethesda tried to be greedy making paid mods they got pushed back hard with good reason a $7 dollars single quest is what people who support paid mods deserve, next time they should sell the color blue skin for a gun with $20.
It really does not help at all. The gamer should ignore ALL paid Mods. Free Mods (or donations) are what is the soul and beauty of modding. Modding because you are really interested then sharing is what made Mods great. No rules, no nothing. But now, when a company gets a ho;d of it, watch all the rules start ruining everything and then it'll get more and more expensive and they will no longer be mods.
@@cyberz3467 It was bad enough when they started selling games themselves piece by piece (insert videogame hamburger meme here). If this is going to be the new model going forward, it's ridiculous. At least Bethesda seems to be a lot less aggressive than other companies. EA was probably the worst of them, and Bungie with Destiny 2 was also pretty bad. I'm just saying it could always be worse.
I will get all content with 100% discount pretty easy to do that on PC with the way that crappy engine works, so i get to enjoy the new stuff while not supporting microtransactions its a win win for me.
basically it'll be 10 targets....each behind a paywall....then later a whole DLC about them lol. Usually how it goes (going by Skyrim's vampire expansion and the other two). First one added custom homes, after you got a taste of owning homes for free, second added vampires after you were already hunting them and doing stuff for the hunters as side content.....yeah it's a trend....it will likely not end with the Tracker Alliance either. Sadly this is the future of most AAA games.....greed greed greed.....

I really hate the idea of turning single player games into live services. I think starfield is so barebones because of Bethesda's intent to do this. Imagine in New Vegas if you couldn't do the Legion questline until a paid DLC. I know its not exactly the same but that's basically what they've done to Starfield cutting out such an integral part of their universe that already feels small. Their going to sell a complete game for a total of however many hundreds of dollars through creation club and dlc Starfield is a perfect template to do so. I'm not hyped for future Bethesda games if I'm being honest.
its not the same at all. these are bonus add ons, not single player restrictions. youre confusing shop items with unlocked content. this isnt Destiny 2 lol
@@peacefusion The whole universe of starfield is so small in scope its limited to 3 factions one of which isnt really in the game outside of being referenced. Why isn't house Va'ruun in the game outside of 1 guy and a couple of fights? Why omit the most aesthetically interesting planet concept? Im not talking about 10$ horse armor we're far past that. Why is the bounty hunter faction quests 7 dollar paid content to be continuously charged per quest? In elder scrolls 6 your going to have to pay 7 dollars per dark brotherhood quest now? Maybe they'll add the fighters guild after a year and charge 7 dollars through creation club per quest what this is establishing is going to be horrible.
@@hotski4trotski995 Come on... we had the exact same thing in Fallout 4 in the form of Nuka World. The whole raider mechanic, which was the counter to Prestons "a village needs your help" and thus must have been made as a foundation of the game, was cut out and sold to us as DLC. They're just repeating the same scenario with Starfield: cut a whole part of the world that's already in the game and then sell it to the players. That's why Starfield seemed like a husk, full of ideas and concepts that were either somewhat missing or looking like they were rushed out the door. Nope. They were all there, just waiting to sell them back to us at a premium, most likely via CC. We are all at fault here, we have tolerated this for so long that it became normal practice for companies, Bethesda in particular. So yeah, not only am I not hyped for any future Bethesda games, but after Starfield I have no desire to play any future games if that's how they will look at launch: empty and boring voids, waiting to be "populated" with premium content. Thanks, but I'll pass.
Barebones? does New Vegas or any BGS game has vehicle customization at the level of SF ship customization? does it have outpost building with automated resource transfer between outposts? 22 different biomes? 209 unique creatures? Focus on a single feature and you can find any game lacking, but as a whole SF has by far the most work put in that any other BGS game.
That’s not necessarily true, the crimson fleet habitats mod that costs 500 is by elianora, who’s made very many high quality mods for free for Skyrim and fallout 4. Everything she makes has soul.
Mods have barely rolled out. You'll eventually see mods with more content than what other studios put in DLCs. Not from Bethesda ofc, but form modders. Both paid and free
Because they don't care. Really, it is that simple: they do not care about what their customers think or want, as long as the money keeps pouring in. At the end of the day, it's our collective fault for allowing Bethesda to get away with this for so long.
I am honestly fine with creators charging for their mods if they want to. I've noticed some actually charging on the store and having it be free on Nexus. What I do not like is Bethesda using this as an excuse to sell microtransactions like individual quests for 7 freakin dollars. That's ridiculous.
You must be new on the scene, Google "Bethesda horse armor" or look up horse armor on know your meme. This is nothing new for them, it's been par for the course since Oblivion.
If a mod on par with the quality and scale of Legacy of the Dragonborn was monetized, I’d be fine with that. But official paid plugins never reach that bar of content and quality.
Actually, the price is a lot more reasonable than other games like Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, and any other Ubisoft game, as well as fighting games and Starcraft. I could go on about this misguided anger when there are many other games charging the price of a console or more for skins. So, I see nothing wrong with a couple of bucks for DLC quests and another couple of bucks for a ship.
You could buy Fallout New Vegas for 5 dollars during a steam sale. Bethesda is essentially saying this one creation club bounty hunter quest is worth more than the entirety of Fallout New Vegas, pricing wise.
No, starfield becoming a live service game sets a terrible precedent. A single player live service game... an unfinished single player live service game making you pay to finish it for them.
How's it unfinished? I have 100+ hrs in the game & i finished main story with faction quests. These mods r additional, just like Skyrim. I m against paid mods too but don't call it unfinished!
@@Ciki92 if Skyrim had a faction which only has you go up to a guy to get radiant quests for a year then asked you to pay $7 for a real quest with the promise of more it would be just as bad. Either it was unfinished or they changed their minds later and added more. Either way, same issue. We shouldn’t be paying for left out factions to be added back in, and we shouldn’t be paying for other players to make the game for them. There’s a reason unmodded Bethesda games are usually hard to play years later. They make the minimal product then rely on mods to turn that into a real fleshed out game. Now, they’re making people pay too.
Game development cost are increasing every year as games get bigger and have better features, better graphics. I would rather they keep prices at 60-70 per game and offer dlc to make up for it giving those that do not want the content the choice to not pay more and still be able to play the entire game. Added content is just that it was not in the finished, completed game. It is one or the other, with the cost of these huge games a price increase is coming without dlc to help make profit. No company survives without making a profit. Micro transactions are here to stay(again you get a choice though to buy them or not) and you still get the full game as it is sold on release. MT make most companies now more than game sales, it is the future. I like it instead of forcing 100 game prices I can buy the game for 70 and decide if the extra content is worth me buying them. I got the 7 dollar quest because I paid for premium and Bethesda gave us 1000 credits for doing so plus I will get Shattered Space.
@@jmangames5562this is a load of bullshit. The video games industry has been setting record revenue numbers year after year, and yet developers are constantly under threat of layoff and experiencing crunch and poor salaries. This is just farming consumers for more and more profits as the industry consolidation gets worse and competition becomes practically nonexistent.
@@kaanozkuscu5079 Cyberpunk story and world is incomparably better than the cringefest of Starfield. Pudgy men in dancing tentacle suits on Neon alone is enough of an insult to the entire game.
Free content? You mean the features that almost every modern RPG has at launch? Like adding apartments and a way to change your appearance 1.5 years after the launch? At least mention NMS as an example of giving truly "FREE CONTENT", not this example of yet another godawful polish shooter.
Fallout London would be out by now if BGS didn't release some trashy update that broke the game and added creations that I don't want. Since they just throw them in the quest log instead of finding them. Its emersion breaking.
The biggest issue I have is that there’s no way to filter for achievement friendly creations (obviously it’s only Bethesda ones at the moment but if they do accept some community creations in the future this filter would be very welcome)
I get that the channel is about showcasing and perhaps not pissing off the brand and studio who has given Juicehead opportunities. At the same time it kind of sucks to hear you handwave the idea of microtransaction quests in your single player game like we should accept that as likely. The vibe of the channel definitely isn't to rant or get angry at the state of things but normalizing this kind of behavior especially when in your own words "the value proposition is bad" kinda leaves a sour taste. The rational take of voting with your wallet is good though and I wish that was how you ended the thought instead of the one where this behavior is inevitable and should be expected.
its new stuff. you always expect future content in your already finished base games? this isnt about, they are releasing cut content, this is about people wanting that new stuff for free.
The game was lacking at launch and everyone has been telling them this. Now they are selling the solution? Take CDPR. People were upset that Cyberpunk didn't have enough content, and CDPR added a bunch of stuff for FREE. BGS need to take notes.

Commodifying mods destroys the spirit of the modding community as a 'Labor-of-Love'. They are willing to test this again by nickle and diming your every piece of additional content. Not even part of a huge dlc, you pay $7 bucks for a 15 minute quest.
The whole point is a community of modders sharing with each other and the community of mod users. Some people will never understand that. That's why 90% of modders don't sell their work. Whether on Patreon, Bethnet, or elsewhere. It's called integrity. Some people actually stick to their principles. Crazy huh?
Ten bucks just for a 15 minute second quest in a free faction addition forced in your game is wild... nothing against paid mods from creators, but bethesda doing them is just scummy, like every other microtransactions in single player games you already paid for.
@testingagain6525 bethesda is testing waters to see what they can get away with, with their pricing, how little content they can push out, and the model of the content. Imagine if all future factions in bethesda games are made like this, or at least just the one, like thieves guild (bit too on the nose), or dark brotherhood. Like you'll get the faction for free, maybe even randomly get assassination targets or robbery targets, but for main missions you gotta buy them for ten bucks. Tracker alliance mission is 10 dollars, technically seven, and that's almost half the price of the far harbor dlc for fallout 4 which had a huge island full of content to do. The pricing is scummy, the content for the price is scummy, and bethesda doing it themselves is scummy. Free mods are great, and I love them and push for them as better alternatives, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hold bethesda accountable for their scummy business practices. It's better to hold the industry accountable rather then just going along with whatever they push out. I love bethesda, I enjoy starfield, but I'm not blinded by the love. I want the game to grow successful, become better, and that's why valid criticism is needed.
7 dollars, for a example mod to help modders, for a 1+ hour quest… It’s not forced, and 90% of mods, updates, etc made by Bethesda and modders will be free. It’s not a big deal 😂

9 months to add tiered melee weapons in your "do anything" space rpg is fucking abysmal... thats like playing skyrim with only having hunting, imperial, and long bows in the game (not to mention different arrow types) and waiting almost a year to get glass bows, ebony bows, daedric bows, etc. absolutely baffling this company Betheseda is
How many companies you know support and promote free mods along side their paid add ons? Not only that they also set up a system for recognized modders to be compensated for their hard work and dedication to their games.
For months they asked fans to tell them what they wanted in the game and that they would read them all and consider them...then they completely ignored that. They seemed to forget that platforms like Steam and Discord keep metrics so we know what fans were asking for. "please charge us ten dollars per mission for bounties" really was not in there. Nor was "introduce yet more resources to collect" or "give us a meaningless currency that we have to be a member of a specific faction to trade it for random garbage".
Man we need to be honest with ourselves Bethesda and the gaming industry as a whole are not what they were 13 years ago. Of course we’re going to spend $80 on a game with each faction having $10 quests shoved down our throat. The only things I’m looking forward to with ES6 is disappointment and the older games being remastered in the engine (which may not happen until the 2030’s since Skywind and Skyblivion are going to be dropping any year now)
@@TheZomboy11 I mean I thought starfield was ok, I’m definitely not redownloading it or buying any of that creation club stuff. I’ve just really gotten into Skyrim modding over the last year
My problem with monetising mods is that it basically transforms modding into just another commercial store. It also splits the modding community into the haves and the have-nots; I can imagine a time when modders release a basic or teaser version of their mod for free on Nexus or wherever, and a premium version on the Creation Club. It's great that modders are getting paid for their efforts, because modding is a skilled and time-consuming task, like any software development. But the cost is that a large corporation like Bethesda/Microsoft can cash in on it; modders are turned into casual contractors and modding becomes a job as opposed to something done for the love of the game; and the community-centric nature of modding dies (to what extent is yet to be seen). I just wish we could prevent corporations from making *everything* about profit. It just sucks that there's nothing I, or anyone who cares, can do about it because there will be enough of an audience for it to make it profitable.
Yh it's even worse that you aren't allowed to sell the mods outside the creation store. So it's forcing Bethesda to take probably 80% revenue from your sale or whatever.
DLC? Dollar Looting from the Consumers. Wait in Todd talk. Maximum creativity as you wish, you can build your own Story and ignore what you don't want...
most definitely. Yet the shills that follow this channel keep claiming that charging $70 for a minimal viable product, then charging additional money for mods to make it more viable is a big plus for the game 😆
@@TheMarcHicks this game was the final straw and I've gonna from a reliable customer to a guaranteed pirate when it comes to bethesda at this point. Really is a shame.
I don't have any problem with paid / unpaid mods - always a supporter of modders getting paid for their creations. Already you can see the Nexus Starfield community is being more active - and the no of creations (both paid and unpaid) are increasing daily. The mod order tool in Creations works fine for me - updates the Plugin.txt file with no problems. I admit the whole Trackers Alliance paid vs unpaid thing is an unnecessary distraction - but of course is being blown up as the issue of the century and will blow over just as quickly. Worth pointing out that - yet again - Bethesda has enabled modding for console - not too many other Developers are doing or even thinking about that...
This sounds nice but this brings up the common AAA problem. Weapon rarities, bounty boards, and mod/mod support shouldv been there day one or they wouldn't be adding it for free.
Elder Scrolls 6 ends up a $70 game for the base version. The "It just works" ultimate edition is gonna be $100+. And then there are new Horse Armor creations for $5+ each. Brave new world.
@@peacefusion Bro i paid 70 bucks for this game and its by far the worst bethesda game ive ever played. The least they could do is give us the new content for free instead of expecting people to buy a single quest for the price of a copy of fallout new vegas
So glad that official mod support is now here, Starfield is probably Bethesda's most moddable game, so many interesting systems that can be leaned into further or pulled away from
@@youngc570 I loaded it up yesterday and was very surprised at how much stuff was already on there. Personally I like "mods" that change gameplay mechanics more than visuals, weapons etc, and there were a good number of options for me to look into to rebalance aspects of the game
it would be a nice preview to prepare for ES6. Creation kit is such an underrated sandbox engine. So quick to build stuff when you look at other nightmare engines that other games have available for modding.
Yeah, I'm starting to realize who the Bethesda shills are. These people know that Bethesda isn't the Bethesda it used to be. Bethesda has been milking modder's work for years.
I really want Starfield to be a great game. I think they intentionally made the game empty so the modders can create the game. Just so happens that the base game wasn't that great. Hopefully more people will mod (I wish I knew how) and make the game a lot better.
I was kinda hoping the Bethesda microtransactions were going to end with Skyrim’s Anniversary Edition Fan made mods I don’t mind being monetized if the creators want it. I don’t think Bethesda should be doing it too though.
And with this news, I can finally play Starfield. As a guy who prefers to play modded Bethesda games on console (I got my silly reasons) 100gigs to play with is no joke. I've made miracles happen with FO4's meager 2gigs. So not having to play Sophie's Choice every single time between a world expansion mod and a custom voiced follower mod whenever I was building a new mod order is just a godsend.
Really? "Pleasantly surprised" at how good a single quest was that costs 1/10 of the entire base game? Technically, 1/10 of the deluxe edition because they're still pulling that "you have to buy $10 worth of fake money so you can spend $7 of the fake money on the quest... with exactly one absolutely insulting item available to spend your remaining $3 on. I knew they were going to try to pull something to get their hands into our pockets but this is slimier than even a cynic like me expected. "We need to charge $70-100 these days because games cost so much to make. Now keep giving us $10 here and $20 dollars there so we can finish it eventually..."
I’m fine with modders releasing paid content on there but it hasn’t even been 5 years and Bethesda are chopping up updates that should go in the game and selling them at a markup… I still like some missions in starfield but the games kinda ruined by greed
Yeah I went from loving Bethesda to being disgusted over Creation Club updates fucking with modding and FO76 atomic shop to completely loathing them after seeing this Starfield news. And I'm not even surprised. Writing's been on the wall for years. I'm just mad at myself getting super hyped about Starfield willing to forgive and forget if the game was awesome. It wasn't. I wish I could get a refund. Bethesda will never see another dime from me ever again. Shattered Space looks cool but I'm not paying extra for the most interesting faction in an otherwise boring universe they held back to sell as DLC. Can't wait for them to also charge to fix the terrible base building. They're going to milk base builders like with the atomic shop. Bethesda is pure greed now and has been for a long time. I was briefly hopeful after the Microsoft acquisition, trying to tell myself all the greed was Zenimax but nope. It's Bethesda. How to make bank with minimal effort.
@@stirlinggerbic-forsyth3345 Well, there was at least an element of mystery that could go interesting places. Batshit crazy cultists or is the serpent real? Any storyline around that sounds more promising than the awful main quest.
Im just done with Starfield at this point. I tried returning to it with the recent update, but it just feels so lame. The loot system sucks, even the "hand authored" landing locations feel generic, the crafting and skill system is obtuse. Sure, mods could fix it, but its just such a mess.
Yep. It’s 110% worth it, it’s often on sale for 42, free with gamepass, you can get gamepass for a whole month or few weeks free… It’s a great game get it on gamepass if you aren’t sure.
@@castfive4038 dont bother, just go play ghost of tsushima now since its on pc, or keep money for sparking zero when it comes out, lots of great games coming out later this year.
Voting with your purchase isn't going to be accurate here. Many who got it used those free credits we started with, and we're done immediately with the updates release. It skews the numbers and isn't really representative enough for them to learn its BS
@@Ghostlynotme445 that's it. I'm on console. Loading screens are 2-3 seconds at the most. And I have a 4k tv so Starfield is beautiful on my set up and more importantly looks realistic. I'm an adult, I'm not into games that look like Roblox or Fortnite. My kid loves NMS . He's 12. 😑
They picked the wrong game to do paid mod. The story sucks. It's safe. It's bland. It's boring. it's an inclusive game instead of being a really cool and interesting game. BG3 did it right. Bethesda shows how not to make a game. I'm worried about the next Elders Scroll. Do not fall for this again. I hope ES is not like this but they have been making the game for years. Bethesda is disappointing.
Creation club should ALWAYS spark anger and outrage. It's what creation club is good at and micro transactions in any shape form or orwellian terminology.
Paying for mods is absurd. At that point just throw what you want into a dlc and call it a day. I mean especially for cosmetic stuff that doesn’t really affect gameplay. Why would anyone pay for stuff they can get from much more talented creators for free.
People from Live service games are paying $100 a month for daily resource perks and another $100 for a new ship or weapon every season + another $100 PER RESOURCE to speed up the grind. Players of Star Citizen are dropping hundreds of $$$ for a ship that gets released with bugs after 3 months, albeit those are huge ships (with many functional parts) that many players can play in at the same time. Not saying I like it, just giving people some context. StarField and other AAA single player games are sold for $100 or less. They take 5-8 years to develop and while they don't need massive servers and bandwidth to serve online persistent universe, dev salaries aren't cheap. A single game can make or break a studio. Some games are released on XBox Game pass and other game streaming services reducing the actual revenue to $5 or less per user (my guess.) Game studio needs ways to monetise their games so $7 isn't too bad if you didn't buy the game outright. How else can you expect companies to survive and thrive to make the sequel? I personally bought the Premium edition to get early access. Getting 1000 credits is too little. I go into Creation and see so much interesting content that are paid. I think people who bought the game should be given discounts for paid content, while people on Game Pass should pay full price. It's not perfect but giving players who paid full price 500 credit every month to spend on paid content should be the way forward. If they want more, they can go to the Store to buy more credits like people on Game Pass. Modders should be paid too.
I agree somewhat. I bought Cyberpunk, wish I had a Dlc discount for my purchase versus someone that doesnt even own the base gsme. I dont know how game pass will work with online shops. how would you own a cash shop item to a game you are just renting? This is why I play on PC, to not deal with such uncertainties.
I didnt think that creation was free? You got 1000 creds for having upgraded to premium edition ( so you paid for those creds) and then had to use those creds to buy this trackera alliance dlc. Did anyone actually get this for free?
All I’m gonna say is Starfield is the reason why Bethesda Will go under, not because of fallout 76 or Elder scrolls online, is because they forgot what it is like to actually have a game that can run off of sandbox, Starfield is a failed attempt of Skyrim and because of that I really hope they understand how to mod properly next time… if not, they give up on the game and let experience players control the game because Bethesda feels like the parent in this situation

Well it hasn’t been that way for a long time now. Get over it
You've never done that with a Bethesda game. Not unless you bought Daggerfall or Arena or something like that. I'm NOT defending the Vulture BS, that's a very, VERY bad price for content, but if we can get Bethesda to start regularly updating the game with things that have a similar price to content ratio of their expansions for the various Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, I'm all for it. The problem here is purely the amount of content for the price, not the idea itself.
Right? And whatever expansions were big, such as the additions to Morrowind. I can see paying for an entire new region, but a fancy new outfit or a single quest? Nah.
Kudos to Bethesda for making it easy to mod their game, but charging 7 bucks for a short quest is lame.
I agree, but wait some time and there will be a free version😂 also when modders actually get mods done with creation kit you'll see paid mods with better value. Eventually you'll see DLCs sized ones for less than skins in other games
Indeed, but they also give the community the ability to create free content to compete with their paid content, who else is doing that? I’m just gonna keep downloading free mods, they can do whatever they want with paid ones as long as they keep the ability for the free ones to be made and distributed. At that point, if the modding scene turns corporate, it’ll be the modders choice
@@GoalOrientedLifting Keep dreaming. If history is any indicator what you'll see is a continuation of bad value from The Creation Club with similar and generally superior mods still being free. They keep thinking this is going to work because Fallout 76 caught them some whales and Captain Ahab's got nothing on Todd Howard.

Do they force you to buy them? No.
@@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveau They do not and lets not normalize the thought of them charging for mods/creations once again. What do you think will happen to the modding community, if it were normalized to charge for mods? Same thing will happen as most other communities, most people will charge for their mods, even through it is simple and basic. Bethesda will get a cut of these charges and that is their wet dream, so even through your comments does not reflect of someone defending them, then please look upon what will happen if Bethesda were enabled by a passive community to convert mods to paid "creations".
$7 for one quest. $7 is 10% of the cost of the entire game. For one quest. The math ain't mathing.
Imagine paying 70 full dollars for this absolute dogsheit game
Actually, the price is a lot more reasonable than other games like Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, and any other Ubisoft game, as well as fighting games and Starcraft. I could go on about this misguided anger when there are many other games charging the price of a console or more for skins. So, I see nothing wrong with a couple of bucks for DLC quests and another couple of bucks for a ship.

@@hoplulyou can't have seen many comments then, because it was a perfectly reasonable way to compare things
Don't buy it then. It's not as bad as the horse armor. Also 7 dollars isn't a lot.
It has become very obvious why a lot of the game is just an open canvas with so much repetitiveness; They had foresight when it came to the paid mods. It dictated how they developed the game. Something you can't see in Skyrim, or even FO4.
When you look at some of the top mods, it just makes sense, just how many aspects of the game they decided to not flesh out, knowing that they'd be filled up later with 5, 10 dollar mods. It just brings it all together for me. I used to be kinda baffled by some of the choices they made...this is the answer.
It also explains why they won’t increase the size of the mod limit on Fallout 4. Greed. Pure greed.
The reason not everything is fleshed out is because no game developer can flesh out 1000 planets, that being said SF has by far more handcrafted content than any other BGS game, additionally to all that handcrafted content they added a massive canvas because they saw the reason people keep playing Skyrim after 13 years is because of Mods, that way modders can go wild, whether is paid or free; on the creations page or on the nexus, is the modders decision, they only added options, they didn't took away anything.
If you don't like their implementation because the handcrafted content is to far apart that's perfectly valid, you don't have to like every popular game that comes out, but your reasoning about their "foresight" is completely backwards.

It really does not help at all. The gamer should ignore ALL paid Mods. Free Mods (or donations) are what is the soul and beauty of modding. Modding because you are really interested then sharing is what made Mods great. No rules, no nothing. But now, when a company gets a ho;d of it, watch all the rules start ruining everything and then it'll get more and more expensive and they will no longer be mods.

I really hate the idea of turning single player games into live services. I think starfield is so barebones because of Bethesda's intent to do this. Imagine in New Vegas if you couldn't do the Legion questline until a paid DLC. I know its not exactly the same but that's basically what they've done to Starfield cutting out such an integral part of their universe that already feels small. Their going to sell a complete game for a total of however many hundreds of dollars through creation club and dlc Starfield is a perfect template to do so. I'm not hyped for future Bethesda games if I'm being honest.
its not the same at all. these are bonus add ons, not single player restrictions. youre confusing shop items with unlocked content. this isnt Destiny 2 lol
star citizen is starfield live service I might as go play that instead in my opinion if I want live service
@@peacefusion The whole universe of starfield is so small in scope its limited to 3 factions one of which isnt really in the game outside of being referenced. Why isn't house Va'ruun in the game outside of 1 guy and a couple of fights? Why omit the most aesthetically interesting planet concept? Im not talking about 10$ horse armor we're far past that. Why is the bounty hunter faction quests 7 dollar paid content to be continuously charged per quest? In elder scrolls 6 your going to have to pay 7 dollars per dark brotherhood quest now? Maybe they'll add the fighters guild after a year and charge 7 dollars through creation club per quest what this is establishing is going to be horrible.
@@hotski4trotski995 Come on... we had the exact same thing in Fallout 4 in the form of Nuka World. The whole raider mechanic, which was the counter to Prestons "a village needs your help" and thus must have been made as a foundation of the game, was cut out and sold to us as DLC. They're just repeating the same scenario with Starfield: cut a whole part of the world that's already in the game and then sell it to the players. That's why Starfield seemed like a husk, full of ideas and concepts that were either somewhat missing or looking like they were rushed out the door. Nope. They were all there, just waiting to sell them back to us at a premium, most likely via CC.
We are all at fault here, we have tolerated this for so long that it became normal practice for companies, Bethesda in particular. So yeah, not only am I not hyped for any future Bethesda games, but after Starfield I have no desire to play any future games if that's how they will look at launch: empty and boring voids, waiting to be "populated" with premium content. Thanks, but I'll pass.
Barebones? does New Vegas or any BGS game has vehicle customization at the level of SF ship customization? does it have outpost building with automated resource transfer between outposts? 22 different biomes? 209 unique creatures?
Focus on a single feature and you can find any game lacking, but as a whole SF has by far the most work put in that any other BGS game.
Yea ill be sticking to free mods I always noticed the only mods with soul are free so nah no thanks

This is nothing new for them, it's been par for the course since Oblivion.
microtransactions dont normally count for modders. they add in content, get paid, all optional stuff. just another shop feature, not micro.
If a mod on par with the quality and scale of Legacy of the Dragonborn was monetized, I’d be fine with that. But official paid plugins never reach that bar of content and quality.

No, starfield becoming a live service game sets a terrible precedent. A single player live service game... an unfinished single player live service game making you pay to finish it for them.
How's it unfinished? I have 100+ hrs in the game & i finished main story with faction quests. These mods r additional, just like Skyrim. I m against paid mods too but don't call it unfinished!
@@Ciki92 if Skyrim had a faction which only has you go up to a guy to get radiant quests for a year then asked you to pay $7 for a real quest with the promise of more it would be just as bad. Either it was unfinished or they changed their minds later and added more. Either way, same issue. We shouldn’t be paying for left out factions to be added back in, and we shouldn’t be paying for other players to make the game for them. There’s a reason unmodded Bethesda games are usually hard to play years later. They make the minimal product then rely on mods to turn that into a real fleshed out game. Now, they’re making people pay too.
Game development cost are increasing every year as games get bigger and have better features, better graphics. I would rather they keep prices at 60-70 per game and offer dlc to make up for it giving those that do not want the content the choice to not pay more and still be able to play the entire game. Added content is just that it was not in the finished, completed game. It is one or the other, with the cost of these huge games a price increase is coming without dlc to help make profit. No company survives without making a profit. Micro transactions are here to stay(again you get a choice though to buy them or not) and you still get the full game as it is sold on release. MT make most companies now more than game sales, it is the future. I like it instead of forcing 100 game prices I can buy the game for 70 and decide if the extra content is worth me buying them. I got the 7 dollar quest because I paid for premium and Bethesda gave us 1000 credits for doing so plus I will get Shattered Space.

The rational take of voting with your wallet is good though and I wish that was how you ended the thought instead of the one where this behavior is inevitable and should be expected.

@testingagain6525 bethesda is testing waters to see what they can get away with, with their pricing, how little content they can push out, and the model of the content. Imagine if all future factions in bethesda games are made like this, or at least just the one, like thieves guild (bit too on the nose), or dark brotherhood. Like you'll get the faction for free, maybe even randomly get assassination targets or robbery targets, but for main missions you gotta buy them for ten bucks. Tracker alliance mission is 10 dollars, technically seven, and that's almost half the price of the far harbor dlc for fallout 4 which had a huge island full of content to do. The pricing is scummy, the content for the price is scummy, and bethesda doing it themselves is scummy. Free mods are great, and I love them and push for them as better alternatives, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hold bethesda accountable for their scummy business practices. It's better to hold the industry accountable rather then just going along with whatever they push out. I love bethesda, I enjoy starfield, but I'm not blinded by the love. I want the game to grow successful, become better, and that's why valid criticism is needed.

Nor was "introduce yet more resources to collect" or "give us a meaningless currency that we have to be a member of a specific faction to trade it for random garbage".
If elder scrolls 6 has any faction implemented similarly to how they’re implementing the trackers alliance Bethesda will have lost me as a fan
Man we need to be honest with ourselves
Bethesda and the gaming industry as a whole are not what they were 13 years ago.
Of course we’re going to spend $80 on a game with each faction having $10 quests shoved down our throat.
The only things I’m looking forward to with ES6 is disappointment and the older games being remastered in the engine (which may not happen until the 2030’s since Skywind and Skyblivion are going to be dropping any year now)
You must be the last fan they have cause they already lost everyone.
@@TheZomboy11 I mean I thought starfield was ok, I’m definitely not redownloading it or buying any of that creation club stuff. I’ve just really gotten into Skyrim modding over the last year
The creation prices are truly embarrassing.
The devs calling them the vultures was ironic considering.
My problem with monetising mods is that it basically transforms modding into just another commercial store. It also splits the modding community into the haves and the have-nots; I can imagine a time when modders release a basic or teaser version of their mod for free on Nexus or wherever, and a premium version on the Creation Club.
It's great that modders are getting paid for their efforts, because modding is a skilled and time-consuming task, like any software development. But the cost is that a large corporation like Bethesda/Microsoft can cash in on it; modders are turned into casual contractors and modding becomes a job as opposed to something done for the love of the game; and the community-centric nature of modding dies (to what extent is yet to be seen).
I just wish we could prevent corporations from making *everything* about profit. It just sucks that there's nothing I, or anyone who cares, can do about it because there will be enough of an audience for it to make it profitable.
Yh it's even worse that you aren't allowed to sell the mods outside the creation store. So it's forcing Bethesda to take probably 80% revenue from your sale or whatever.
If buying isn't owning then pirating isn't stealing!!!!
On console there is currently a audio bug making it impossible to play as they have no sound
Instead of releasing one quest, it should have been a bundle. I wouldn't have minded depending on pricing for a bundle of 10 or so bountys.
It’s going to be added to. That’s the whole point…
@@TheParagonIsDead You missed the point.
@@EmperorOnimusha k
@@TheParagonIsDead Oh, you sweet summer child.
@@EmperorOnimushaynow this is just a videogame… right?
It’s pretty insulting to your player base to release a broken game, doubly so to charge players for mods that other players wrote to fix it.
So, we’ll have to buy a mod with real currency to get bounties for virtual money. I dunno, feels like a scam.
it is
DLC? Dollar Looting from the Consumers. Wait in Todd talk. Maximum creativity as you wish, you can build your own Story and ignore what you don't want...
So this game having no content whatsoever WAS intentional.
No content whatsoever? Are you guys actually stupid or what?
most definitely. Yet the shills that follow this channel keep claiming that charging $70 for a minimal viable product, then charging additional money for mods to make it more viable is a big plus for the game 😆
Sure looks like that.
@@TheMarcHicks this game was the final straw and I've gonna from a reliable customer to a guaranteed pirate when it comes to bethesda at this point. Really is a shame.
Makes you wonder what the next Elder scrolls and fallout will be like.
I don't have any problem with paid / unpaid mods - always a supporter of modders getting paid for their creations. Already you can see the Nexus Starfield community is being more active - and the no of creations (both paid and unpaid) are increasing daily. The mod order tool in Creations works fine for me - updates the Plugin.txt file with no problems.
I admit the whole Trackers Alliance paid vs unpaid thing is an unnecessary distraction - but of course is being blown up as the issue of the century and will blow over just as quickly.
Worth pointing out that - yet again - Bethesda has enabled modding for console - not too many other Developers are doing or even thinking about that...
This sounds nice but this brings up the common AAA problem. Weapon rarities, bounty boards, and mod/mod support shouldv been there day one or they wouldn't be adding it for free.
Elder Scrolls 6 ends up a $70 game for the base version. The "It just works" ultimate edition is gonna be $100+. And then there are new Horse Armor creations for $5+ each. Brave new world.
I wait until full game is done and its on sale
Bethesda making you pay 7 dollars for a quest that should have been in the base game
quest is optional, never meant to be in the base game? how can it be in a game thats already finished? this is new content, not cut content.
@@peacefusion Bro cope harder... lol😅
@@peacefusionJust write your honest opinion that game is trash becoming expensive trash. Save ppl money and time by suggesting to skipp this trash.
@@peacefusion Bro i paid 70 bucks for this game and its by far the worst bethesda game ive ever played. The least they could do is give us the new content for free instead of expecting people to buy a single quest for the price of a copy of fallout new vegas
the trackers alliance spacesuit has been in the game since day one
So glad that official mod support is now here, Starfield is probably Bethesda's most moddable game, so many interesting systems that can be leaned into further or pulled away from
Good to hear over all the usual rage monstering, haven't looked into CK yet.
@@youngc570 I loaded it up yesterday and was very surprised at how much stuff was already on there. Personally I like "mods" that change gameplay mechanics more than visuals, weapons etc, and there were a good number of options for me to look into to rebalance aspects of the game
it would be a nice preview to prepare for ES6. Creation kit is such an underrated sandbox engine. So quick to build stuff when you look at other nightmare engines that other games have available for modding.
Dude's defending "micro dlc" and paid mods instead of just having a COMPLETE game.
Yeah, I'm starting to realize who the Bethesda shills are. These people know that Bethesda isn't the Bethesda it used to be. Bethesda has been milking modder's work for years.
I really want Starfield to be a great game. I think they intentionally made the game empty so the modders can create the game. Just so happens that the base game wasn't that great. Hopefully more people will mod (I wish I knew how) and make the game a lot better.
I still remember the backlash Bethesda got for the infamous paid horse armor fiasco.
They just ran away and hid, then tried again later. You can't relax with Bethesda.
I was kinda hoping the Bethesda microtransactions were going to end with Skyrim’s Anniversary Edition
Fan made mods I don’t mind being monetized if the creators want it. I don’t think Bethesda should be doing it too though.
And with this news, I can finally play Starfield.
As a guy who prefers to play modded Bethesda games on console (I got my silly reasons) 100gigs to play with is no joke. I've made miracles happen with FO4's meager 2gigs. So not having to play Sophie's Choice every single time between a world expansion mod and a custom voiced follower mod whenever I was building a new mod order is just a godsend.
They’re just stealing our money for a DLC we already paid for why do I have to send 700 more credits to be able to play another mission
Really? "Pleasantly surprised" at how good a single quest was that costs 1/10 of the entire base game? Technically, 1/10 of the deluxe edition because they're still pulling that "you have to buy $10 worth of fake money so you can spend $7 of the fake money on the quest... with exactly one absolutely insulting item available to spend your remaining $3 on. I knew they were going to try to pull something to get their hands into our pockets but this is slimier than even a cynic like me expected. "We need to charge $70-100 these days because games cost so much to make. Now keep giving us $10 here and $20 dollars there so we can finish it eventually..."
even worse, the mission is very short. minutes short.
I’m fine with modders releasing paid content on there but it hasn’t even been 5 years and Bethesda are chopping up updates that should go in the game and selling them at a markup… I still like some missions in starfield but the games kinda ruined by greed
I want to welcome Bethesda to my "Never buy from these blood-sucking pariahs posing as a Gaming Developer ever again" list
Yeah I went from loving Bethesda to being disgusted over Creation Club updates fucking with modding and FO76 atomic shop to completely loathing them after seeing this Starfield news. And I'm not even surprised. Writing's been on the wall for years.
I'm just mad at myself getting super hyped about Starfield willing to forgive and forget if the game was awesome. It wasn't. I wish I could get a refund.
Bethesda will never see another dime from me ever again.
Shattered Space looks cool but I'm not paying extra for the most interesting faction in an otherwise boring universe they held back to sell as DLC. Can't wait for them to also charge to fix the terrible base building. They're going to milk base builders like with the atomic shop.
Bethesda is pure greed now and has been for a long time. I was briefly hopeful after the Microsoft acquisition, trying to tell myself all the greed was Zenimax but nope. It's Bethesda. How to make bank with minimal effort.
@@goblingoddessgaming608 Va'ruun had what, three people in the base game? How could they even be that interesting?
@@stirlinggerbic-forsyth3345 Well, there was at least an element of mystery that could go interesting places. Batshit crazy cultists or is the serpent real?
Any storyline around that sounds more promising than the awful main quest.
@@goblingoddessgaming608 it'd be more interesting if the supernatural elements weren't just mundane core elements of the game.
Should’ve been there since horse armor. Better late than never tho.
Im just done with Starfield at this point. I tried returning to it with the recent update, but it just feels so lame. The loot system sucks, even the "hand authored" landing locations feel generic, the crafting and skill system is obtuse. Sure, mods could fix it, but its just such a mess.
Guess making the game an exclusive didn't sell as many consoles as the suits thought it would.
Thank GOD they are charging $7 for the content so they can keep the doors of Bethesda open. Can I donate more, please!
But is the game still $70 tho?
currently it's only $42, and will most likely go down at the end of the year like the rest of the BGS games (down to ~$10-15 for base game)
@@kingabdullah338 epic I can't wait to play it at a reasonable price
Yep. It’s 110% worth it, it’s often on sale for 42, free with gamepass, you can get gamepass for a whole month or few weeks free…
It’s a great game get it on gamepass if you aren’t sure.
@@castfive403870 is reasonable, it’s free on gamepass, and usually 40.
@@castfive4038 dont bother, just go play ghost of tsushima now since its on pc, or keep money for sparking zero when it comes out, lots of great games coming out later this year.
Voting with your purchase isn't going to be accurate here. Many who got it used those free credits we started with, and we're done immediately with the updates release. It skews the numbers and isn't really representative enough for them to learn its BS
Back to Horse Armor
So the loading screen sim is still a loading screen sim. Got it
these areas look kit bashed together
Going to end up being like $250 to mod these games out in the near future.
He must be high off that paid trip still
dont know how to properly say this but I feel like gaming is becoming a rich people's hobby now (not that it already wasnt but you know)
No Mans Sky doesn't charge for new content.
Just sayin...
No man's sky sucks though. It looks fake. The art style is childish.
@@MzShaybuttathat’s your own biching starfield looks flat and washed out compared no man sky least you can fly your ship without load screen
@@Ghostlynotme445 that's it. I'm on console. Loading screens are 2-3 seconds at the most. And I have a 4k tv so Starfield is beautiful on my set up and more importantly looks realistic. I'm an adult, I'm not into games that look like Roblox or Fortnite. My kid loves NMS . He's 12. 😑
@@MzShaybutta And I think Starfield is boring with uninteresting content.
Opinions, right?
Of course it's a cash grab. "cough - horse armor"
What is going on at Bethesda! How about at least one person on the staff actually tries to play the game?
They picked the wrong game to do paid mod. The story sucks. It's safe. It's bland. It's boring. it's an inclusive game instead of being a really cool and interesting game. BG3 did it right. Bethesda shows how not to make a game. I'm worried about the next Elders Scroll. Do not fall for this again. I hope ES is not like this but they have been making the game for years.
Bethesda is disappointing.
i'm not using any mod manager that sells mods. ever.
Too bad they can't update it to be a good game
Creation club should ALWAYS spark anger and outrage. It's what creation club is good at and micro transactions in any shape form or orwellian terminology.
I’m going to wait until the Shattered Space DLC before I go back to Starfield. Hopefully they take all the community feedback and make it more fun.
This has convinced me to never buy this game.
well keep playing your roblox games, While I play using a darksaber as batman in my startrek ship and killing ATs for free.
@@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveau Have Fun 👍
You're not missing much. I played 75 hours of this drivel on launch and have never played again since.
@@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveauyou can do all of that just by pirating Starfield and downloading free mods on Nexus.
Paying for mods is absurd. At that point just throw what you want into a dlc and call it a day. I mean especially for cosmetic stuff that doesn’t really affect gameplay. Why would anyone pay for stuff they can get from much more talented creators for free.
Bethesda trying to extract every last cent out of this failure
People from Live service games are paying $100 a month for daily resource perks and another $100 for a new ship or weapon every season + another $100 PER RESOURCE to speed up the grind.
Players of Star Citizen are dropping hundreds of $$$ for a ship that gets released with bugs after 3 months, albeit those are huge ships (with many functional parts) that many players can play in at the same time.
Not saying I like it, just giving people some context.
StarField and other AAA single player games are sold for $100 or less. They take 5-8 years to develop and while they don't need massive servers and bandwidth to serve online persistent universe, dev salaries aren't cheap. A single game can make or break a studio.
Some games are released on XBox Game pass and other game streaming services reducing the actual revenue to $5 or less per user (my guess.) Game studio needs ways to monetise their games so $7 isn't too bad if you didn't buy the game outright. How else can you expect companies to survive and thrive to make the sequel?
I personally bought the Premium edition to get early access. Getting 1000 credits is too little. I go into Creation and see so much interesting content that are paid.
I think people who bought the game should be given discounts for paid content, while people on Game Pass should pay full price.
It's not perfect but giving players who paid full price 500 credit every month to spend on paid content should be the way forward. If they want more, they can go to the Store to buy more credits like people on Game Pass. Modders should be paid too.
I agree somewhat. I bought Cyberpunk, wish I had a Dlc discount for my purchase versus someone that doesnt even own the base gsme. I dont know how game pass will work with online shops. how would you own a cash shop item to a game you are just renting? This is why I play on PC, to not deal with such uncertainties.
@@peacefusion I'm talking about PC Xbox game pass specifically. I've never bought a console.
A $120 AUD game that gets a first big update thats just for them to make more money, and paywall the free quest
We need StarWars, Star Trek, Mass Effect and Halo total conversion mods
And they'll charge $100 each for them.
Mods are FREE on Nexusmods ;)
I didnt think that creation was free? You got 1000 creds for having upgraded to premium edition ( so you paid for those creds) and then had to use those creds to buy this trackera alliance dlc. Did anyone actually get this for free?
It is nice to see BGS lift the rule preventing new animations and allowinf VO to be added to the CC/VC content.
Bethesda squeeze their golden goose any tighter and it will straight up die.
All I’m gonna say is Starfield is the reason why Bethesda Will go under, not because of fallout 76 or Elder scrolls online, is because they forgot what it is like to actually have a game that can run off of sandbox, Starfield is a failed attempt of Skyrim and because of that I really hope they understand how to mod properly next time… if not, they give up on the game and let experience players control the game because Bethesda feels like the parent in this situation
