the other thing that pisses me off alot is, it takes them 3-6 months to do something that modders did in a week or two.
I honestly bet stuff like DLSS would have been ready to go a week or so after launch, but they don't want to update the game every time a tiny little improvement is made. If they did, y'alls mods would break every week. Waiting till there's a substantial amount of improvements before updating is the way to go.
Bethesda has always been like this.
To be fair, the quality level on mods generally are lower. Betheada is still taking way too long (probably because their engine sucks), but the first point still stands
You gotta remember modders will just release that one feature but developers generally will yeah do that stuff but package it all in one update. They aren't going to be updating the game for one feature everytime they finish one.
People overrate Modders like crazy. It’s been almost a year and what’s the biggest mod that came out for Starfield? A Star Wars skin pack? A different menu UI? I’d love for Modders to be able to add stuff in the game with the ease that YT commenters think it can happen but coding is hard. There’s a reason these games are made by AAA studios and not in somebody’s basement.
I think your reaction to Matty’s video is great because you added like a extra hour to mattys video and it feels like a real reaction which is great because I had already watched Matty’s video so for you to have a long reaction to it, it really makes me feel like I’m not just rewatching Matty’s video
Yeah, I enjoy watching his reactions to different videos because he takes the time to pause and give his opinions on things. Definitely not the same as the example he gave of old reaction vids. This style and “we’ll watch the video and I’ll give my (thoughtful) opinion at the end” are ones I’m always on board with and seek out.
Todd explaining the reason why paid mods are the way they are is because of their experience in fallout 76 is exactly what a lot of people myself included were worried about. People bought stuff in another game which showed Bethesda and just shows other companies in general that people are willing to pay for the stuff that they're selling. Even if that stuff happens to be mediocre cosmetics or just quests or anything if someone buys it there's a market for it. That's why companies keep going forward with these little payment editions. If people stopped buying them they wouldn't keep making them but the problem is there's always some people buying which shows that the system works.
There's no easy solution, because a whopping 90% to 95% of players can refrain from purchasing microtransactions, but as long as whales keep buying loads of them then that is all that is needed for the companies to profit a ton.
And here's the kicker; THOSE games still charge for major expansions. BGS does NOT with Fallout 76; look at ESO specifically for proof.
Get some perspective.
Not just that, but its sooo cheap to "make" a Digital skin, and with that you need only a few sells to make it profitable
Yeah and then we'd have no games 😂😂😂😂😂 u ppl are so slow, should we enslave all devs? How can a game be supported by devs if nobody supports it..... if u want high quality games they need solid revenue like holy cow how is that hard to understand
@@ChiefVince117we dont know if they make enough money with sales or if they need microtransactions
Youre acting like in every game with microtransactions they NEED to do it bc it wouldnt make enough money, but how can you know?
Luke's Smile when Todd said "We do have the Boost Pack" caught me off guard.
Love Matty so happy for him
nah hes just being rewarded for being a Shill
@@spaceman2517 lol ur lame
@@spaceman2517agreed
I'm actually okay with them keeping Creation Engine. I feel like every other game now is running on Unreal Engine and it's making many games feel more similar visually.
I agree.
Yah thats it. I just agree 😌
Yeah I agree, I liked Matty’s commentary on it in the interview. If it was in a different engine then it wouldn’t be a Bethesda game imo
I’d rather they develop an actual new engine in-house that is capable of handling more. They don’t need to use Unreal, just please no more Creation engine.
@aimeerobidoux7635 This isn't possible. We'd get Elder Scrolls in 2040 or even 2050. Building an engine is an INSANE amount of work. It is far, far more difficult than building a game. Game engines are one of the most complex pieces of software you can write. Of course things like an operating system are even more complex but still. There are so many systems involved with an engine. You can't just start from scratch without a REALLY good reason. Considering Bethesda titles generate millions in profit, there is no reason they can give to executives to create a new engine.
@@bedtimestories1065 Yeah. I said that without the belief that it would actually ever happen. That being said, Creation Engine is very outdated compared to other engines and they need to at least upgrade to a different, already existing engine if they want to not be limited by the capabilities of Creation.
Best mod i installed was color filter removal ....it makes the game look sooooooo much better!
I installed neutral LUTS within 3 days of launch. It was such a game changer
Having looked it up just now, I kind of get why BGS applied it. It gives the game a more distinctive atmosphere. Without the filter, it looks like most other space games of its ilk.
@@Fazeshyft Having played it I can guarantee you that I thought it looked like hot garbage and without the filter it looks fantastic.
@@schitzoflink8612 Yeah everytime I watch a video without the mod I'm reminded how terrible the filters look
48:50 Luke paused the vid perfectly on Todd's facial expression for the little role play push back convo he did criticizing BGS charging for mods 💀
When talking about Creation Engine Matty says that he doesn’t believe that they should switch engines and that creation engine does a lot of the things people love about Bethesda Games it is not just “couching”, that’s actually what Matty thinks and he mentioned it repeatedly in his own videos before Starfield release and after it. So I don’t think that it is fair to say that Matty is not being honest here. Same with a lot of stuff in the interview when Luke says that he is couching the questions he mostly just says what he thinks
I would be interested to hear HOW they found the barren planets to be fun to explore and what portion that is specifically. The barren planets are REALLY hard to enjoy exploring.
What are you talking about astronauts weren’t bored on the moon so could be possibly be boring…. Ahahaha I can’t 😂
I think it's quite clear you're meant to explore from space. Like you can find all POI's by just going to planets and opening your scanner
I really only land on a random spot on a planet if I wanna build an outpost.
Now if that's an improvement or not is up to you
@@chainsaw8507 I'm just devastated that the outposts system is so bad. I was expecting FO4 settlements but improved.
Build a small hub city with settlers etc and connect resources up to eachother like an eco system.
@@inuclearpickle8628 There's a distinct difference between training your entire life training and preparing for a mission to the moon and then being part of a highly skilled team of fellow astronauts who launch into space to land on said moon to explore a 'barren planet'. And us the player clicking on a planet and landing on it after 3 loading screens, only to walk around like we are walking around in a farmer's field with nothing to do.
One of them is the culmination of an entire life's work. The other is incredibly lame.
Elite Dangerous has a dedicated community of people who call that game fun and the planets on that game are 100x more barren then the ones in Starfield.
I come from Elite Dangerous aswell o7 so exploration in Starfield is more than enough for me.
If you dont come from that more grounded to reality playstyle then Starfield will be boring and you would absolutely think Elite Dangerous is dog poop
Matty is the man!
Luke sounds jaded lol.
Damn, what I wouldn't give to see you interview Todd.
Oh WOW! At 21 minutes, replaying Todd spinning the boost pack absolutely made me laugh out loud. To know what we know now and how painstakingly boring it can be to try and traverse a low gravity planet with just the boost pack, and realizing he knew then... it's comedy gold. Totally understand why and how he had to spin it, but in hindsight, all we can do is laugh about it.
I was excited for Matty. Know he's gotta be pumped.
Same. Matty is awesome.
I remember back when Matty started Fallout Dust. Those were the days. I am glad he is happy/pumped.
He is 😂😂definitely is pumped by todd Howard on the daily can’t you see the extreme fanboyism
@@GoatBoat22there is nothing wrong with being a fan of something?
@@Desmond-Dark dont forget people were calling him a "playstation plant" a few weeks ago.
Unrelated to this interview / video, but you mention your d&d campaign quite often and i’m curious if you stream it/ VOD anywhere?
21:05 Gold... pure gold 🤣😂🤣
Thing about the engine. Unreal is really cumbersome to work with cause its an "all purpose" engine that has tons of things in it that you don't need. Not saying unreal can't achieve crazy graphical fidelity and has amazing tech built into it, but these marketing snippets and tech demos are all missing the actual game and that is what really is taking the resources away. We often see very overhyped tech-bro advertisement videos and people are amazed by its bits and pieces that are highlighted but don't understand that its way more complicated with an actual game.
I would be interested to know if Epic could make different irritations of the Unreal Engine for different development studios. Therefore they can streamline the dev process for specific games by removing unnecessary things.
That being said, with unreal developers working directly with cd projekt red devs, I believe they will be able to tweak the engine and possibly develop things just for the Witcher 4. If you get a direct partnership the game will probably be able to overcome those problems you discussed.
Todd Howard " Its ok to miss things"
E.S Fans "Ita been 12 years Todd!!"
Matty did a great job. It’s sad there’s a lot of keyboard warriors that think they would have asked Todd the real hard questions, no you wouldn’t it’s an extremely challenging to perform an interview like this and most like the people skills for it.
Ya all these virgins saying they woulda "really dug deap and called him out." Ya shut up nerd also your moms calling you cuz she made you a sandwich so you better go get that 😂
You don’t know what people would’ve asked not everyone’s spineless
@@Wonderbrut ^^^found one
I think most people don't understand the art of giving an interview and that's why they wouldn't get an interview from someone like Todd. You don't go off on somebody asking hard questions because those interviews tend to not last long and you won't get anything out of it. You want to ask questions that make them feel comfortable as possible because the longer you get them to talk the more likely if they have not so great motives they will slip and tell on themselves.
If you have to be sycophantic to somebody in order to maintain or boost your career then I'm sure most people would.
The console mods for Star field are actually really good. Fallout 4 and Skyrim had decent console mods but this is on a different level. Not quite pc mod levels but still good.
good reaction video
I booted up yesterday for the first time in a year and played as A Mandalorian!!! This game is what I want it to be from now on.
I haven’t played Starfield but I’ve heard so much about it.
I think a lot of people will hear the discussion of Bethesda’s engine from their favourite influencer and just nod along without putting any additional thought into it. Go look at how mods are actually made. Obviously the difficulty varies based on the complexity of the mod, but basic mods don’t even require coding. Bethesda did all that hard work and packaged up the tools in the Creation Kit for modders to utilise. I’m not interested in Starfield mods personally, but the engine improvements made for SF will allow the modders to do some incredible things.
It's easy to talk a big game when you're on the sidelines...
i wish 21 kiloton would've interviewed todd.
☢️
I feel like I'm watching two old friends I no longer like, become friends and talk to each other.
If Starfield does procedure with annual content updates, I hope all new assists are included in all random world seeds
Totally disagree with Starfields fidelity. The game looks absolutely stunning, both on my series X and on my beefy PC. It's really mostly the facial animations and some of npc crowds in the game that are biggest standouts and absolutely behind other big rpg open worlds
Oblivion in 4K
For all the criticism of the creation engine, it at least lets them ship games. Star Citizen has all the cutting edge tech and it is likely to never have a full release.
I love Matty like a brother in law
Edit: I felt seen with Jenny N Galaxies hotel video red.
The "more" i wonder why they dont get done is when they allowed someone else to use their tools and Obsidian made a substantial amount of content and Avalone talked about how great the toolset was.
So im here like, why are the experts not making more than the people who are learning while they use the tools?
48:10 not exactly true, you have to look at it from the perspective of a global market, okay picture Amazon for example, do you think Amazon doesn't charge people who sell stuff on their site? Fair question right? Because I'm pretty sure they charge the owner of who's selling that product, or they get a certain type of portion of the sale, and because their website is a global market that reaches Millions perhaps billions of people all around the Earth, that I wouldn't say is nothing, I mean the alternate argument is people talk about their patreon, they go well in patreon we get paid more, that's true but in patreon they also take a portion of your money per sale, that is incredibly factual truth, but the other problem with patreon is Their audience pool is for lower, and not everyone wants to subscribe to one specific motor in order to access their mods when there's potentially tens of thousands of mod offers they could find in a single place and pay for mods there, you have to understand this concept in the terms of global audience numbers, so they might be getting paid higher on patreon when they sell mods, but they're going to get a far lower pool of supporters in that system, and the vast majority of people either don't know about this mod author and or they can't afford them, it's kind of like this nonsense with Netflix and other streaming platforms, people can only pay so much money to gain access to all of the streaming platforms, and by the end of the day if you add them all up separately, it comes about as high as a cable bill, so do they really save money in the at the end of the day? I would say it's about the same, but it's maybe worse because you have to have separate accounts and that's annoying enough as it is, people would rather go to a single platform to get all their entertainment, we don't like this compartmentalization of too many streaming sites, it's annoying, some people can deal with it better than others, it's like the people who are on social media and they're on every fucking popular social media website then a few others that aren't so popular but they're all on them,.
So the modding Creations store through Bethesda will potentially reach a global market of people who will want to purchase and download these mods, but you on your tiny little patreon page you might reach a hundred Subs, and that might pay for basically your lifestyle, but some people may just fall off and not follow you on that system, yeah you get paid a lot more, but you're still getting a portion of people who either can't afford you or you're not getting viewed by higher numbers of potential buyers in that system, cuz you're kind of hidden.
Another point that I need to point out is Bethesda is offering that server to the mods in that system, servers cost money I don't know if you know that, but servers cost money per month, it depends on how much content is being uploaded to it as well, I mean it could be thousands of gigabytes a month, and servers are only so big, but the cost of that server goes up depending upon how much is being put on that server per month, so it can be crazy high at the end of the day, so I wouldn't exactly call that doing nothing or providing nothing, in order to not only make a profit off of the mods but also pay for the overhead of the server costs and the constant improvements on the creation store Page fixing bugs and whatnot, all that cost money, so again Bethesda isn't just doing nothing, they're doing a tangible realistic thing that it makes realistic sense for them to charge for, now one thing we haven't seen Bethesda do, they could do it if they want it but they're not that scummy, but let's just use for example let's just say they wanted to charge the modders for using their creation engine? That would be horrible horrible decision and it would turn so many people off from modding, which is why they allow free access to the program, in my opinion they should also have free lessons and how to use the program, now there is quite a bit of information out there of people already doing this that did it for free on TH-cam, but they're not professional there's a lot of miscommunication or methods that don't exactly come off as easy to understand by all users and that kind of throws off some people from the modding scene all together, so I would like Bethesda to do some professional tutorials of how to use the creation kit and make that as a free service build it into the app itself, just put a bunch of links so if you want to know how to do something in the creation kit but you can't figure it out on the spot you can just type it into the kit and it will go into some kind of search engine and then it will bring up the links to TH-cam or wherever the information is that you could watch and learn it's through tutorial of how to improve your skills in using the creation kit.
This is just my opinion, but if they want people to do mods on their website and make money, they have to offer something just as valuable knowledge is valuable access to the tool is valuable so people could hone their craft, eventually people might want to sell their mods, I think it's a great idea, now when it comes to monetization I think Bethesda needs to figure out a better system I would suggest a subscription tier list instead of paint having the customer pay per mod, cuz that's just a little too expensive on the consumer.
Matty has diplomacy stat at 💯
Fromsoft and Bethesda are similarly sized and both are headed by one big figure, yet they differ extremely in both quality and frequency in very favored of Miyazaki. Since Skyrim, Bethesda has made Fallout 4 and its DLCs, Fallout 76 (kinda) and Starfield.
Fromsoft have since then had critical and commercial success with Demon's souls, DS 1-3 each with 1-3 DLCs, Bloodborne + DLC, Sekiro, Elden Ring AND Armored Core 6 while developing an internal routine where Miyazaki no longer needs to be heavily involved for their games to be successful. Something about Bethesda is horribly inefficient
technically i agree, but demon souls and ds1 released before skyrim
same reason the asian teams always win from Americans in esports competitions, they built different
1:21:19 bahahaha. My criticisms of you aside, I would love to see an interview with you and Todd. Just hoping you give it more thought than you put in to your comments in a react like this, though, when doing questions.
The thing that has always struck me as not making sense about the creation engine is that it sacrifices so much in terms of performance and capability to have the "every object has a model and physics"-thing, when it's such a peripheral element to all the games.
Like aside from putting a bucket on a merhcants head, it's always like... "Yeah... I guess that's a thing".
Its like engineering a new NBA basketball a to put RGB lights on it, at the expense of its durability, bounce characteristics and size.
Like sure, I disco NBA is neat, but shouldn't you be focusing more on elements that are more integral to the core experience?
1:00:10 to be fair, he didn't go on that rant till he was well into the game and got to the part where some chick confides in you that she's a clone of a dude. People like to think he just snapped as soon as he booted up the game lmao.
Ohhh man id LOVE to see Colin Moriarty get some question time with Todd.
Dude, since when are you so funny?! LMAO
48:36 This is why Matty was a good interviewer, and why I'm glad you didn't get it. You intimate over and over that Matty is soft-balling and playing nice for access, but you're doing the direct opposite. You are throwing shade, consistently subtly snidely taking passive-aggressive pot shots while you do these hypothetical responses.
I think someone getting a question laced with that much shi**y b*tch-snark would not want to answer that nicely. You would need to do some more work with your questions and approach. Though, asking tough questions is important and needed, though.
"Oh, poor Todd, the millionaire, how dare someone thinking of mildly challenging him?? 😭"
@@randomthings1293 To passersby, this is a very unintelligent strawman employed by a midwit who thinks you are incapable of providing actual hard-hitting questions and not doing soft-balls unless you are actively being a snide cun_.
This says much about who they are as a person.
Some of these opinions are the epitome of what it means to be spoiled and arrogant.
Which is fair to feel like as a consumer, but how you feel isnt always the reality of the situation.
Every blue moon I return to this channel just to reaffirm my assessment.
The more I watch you the more bitter and rude you appear lol
The envy is palpable
I’m gonna tell you now I think if Elder school six uses the creation engine just a little upgraded version which I’m pretty sure they are. It’ll probably be the last time they do it because there’s gonna be a massive backlash. I guarantee it because when that game does come out it’s gonna feel so outdated. It’s gonna be insane.
Creation engines biggest issues is the stories Bethesda decides to tell knowing its limitations. They want to tell big grand tales like the “wars” in oblivion and Skyrim but the engine absolutely does not support it. Creation engine would be a much better fit for telling a prequel story in the Starfield universe about a human trying to escape earth as it’s dying than the planet hopping artifact hunt we actually got.
I understand people being dissapointed with starfield but i will never get people shitting on others for liking a game they dont. Like get a freaking life todd howard isnt hitler chill tf out.
Honestly, I think there is just way too much discourse about mediocre games like starfield… if people just were to move on I suspect that would send a much clearer message to the developers: Do better if you want to be relevant. Not saying there should be no criticism, but you know … not an endless barrage
After watching Luke for months now. I'm definitely thinking he is a very "mainstream" type of gamer. And what I mean is that he only really likes things that are popular. He likes Assassin's Creed but doesn't like STALKER. He likes TLoU but doesn't play Resident Evil (still a pretty mainstream game but not as popular as TLoU). He only likes mainstream games.
He has made resident evil videos and long reviews on some of the games. Most recently, the resident evil 4 remake, whoch he enjoyed.
@@1kingeling123 what about Silent Hill?
yes for the content
Matty was definitely not implying that the criticism was only or even mostly personal. He just mentioned that he saw that while the criticism was valid that it snowballed into a situation where people took it on a personal level. He wasn't dismissive of the criticism at all and you can see that in his other content
Mods arent on console yet. Probably wont play it again until then
Whilst I wish he'd pressed harder on some of the negatives, I can't blame Matty when he's talking to someone he's clearly a fan of. I agree that Todd is the ultimate salesman, but in a non personal way, I really wish he wasn't, or that someone else did the press interviews. Todd is too slick, and constantly brings every possibly negative question round to a positive for BGS. By any measure, starfield was not a flop, but it certainly hasn't been what a lot of people hoped, and a lot of that isn't over hype, it's just things that are straight bad. Starfield killed any optimism I have for ES6.
In that situation, constantly saying how great everything is rather than saying "our bad, that should have been there from the start" just gets annoying. I don't want spin, I want honesty. Like the 6 week update thing, that's a broken promise that didn't happen, and it actually took 6 months to get maps, which should have been in the game. Yet he brushed past it, saying it wasn't something they could stick to, with no apology or explanation why that plan changed beyond "some content takes longer", and then treated the maps and sliders as "content" they'd been working on, rather than basic features that a AAA game should 100% have launched with.
Creations just feels slimy to me. In principle, I support a platform where console users can get mods, and where mod creators can get paid for their work. But the implementation of it comes across really badly. I have no issue with BGS making money, they're a business, but the methods they use are so blatant, it spoils what could be a positive. They need to disclose the percentages of what creators get, and they need to scrap the awful minimum 1000 credit purchase. Creators don't necessarily get the "change" from 1000, as the pricing works out awkwardly, but BGS do every time. And that screams greed, rather than supporting a community. Referring to previous creations offerings as a guide for how they did their pricing is not a good look when I believe there is a class action suit coming from Fallout 4 for BGS getting around a "season pass" for DLC by claiming creations do not count as DLC. Not to mention, there was outcry at the time for the pricing in those games too.
It's probably just a personal thing for me, but I can't stand when Todd calls them "our creators". They're not yours, they're not your employees, they're the community that fixes and prolongs your games or even makes them playable. I would not consider playing a BGS game without at least some level of mods, and when it gets to that level, you owe them a lot more than they owe you.
Final note, thank your Luke for making the effort you do with reactions, it does feel like an actual discussion with alternate viewpoints, as opposed to just mindless affirmative noises. IMO if you can eat your lunch whilst watching the content, you're not adding anything to it.
People act like this shit aint just like pokemon red safari:
MrMattyPlays Asks ‘Hard Hitting Question!’
…
Wild Todd Howard fled!
I think I speak for a lot of players when I say “thanks, I’ll pass”. We will see.
I have never moded a game😊
1:01:00
"This is gay."
"This is very gay."
"Alright everyone, back in the pile!"
If you know, you know.
The problem with the engine discussion is that it isn't holding them back. A new engine isn't going to have a meaningful impact in the type of game they make. You even gave the example of their excellent physics system that they don't utilise in their level design. They made a conscious decision to not add land vehicles at launch. These aren't engine limitations. They're the outcome of writing and prioritisation decisions.
I dont want to play in a living singleplayer world that gets constantly updated. Few DLC expansions are fine if they are worth other than that i move on to other things and dont want to be tied on to a single player live service game. Less Updates more games imo.
I haven't heard anyone bring up idTech Engine as an option. That would keep the tech in house, and therefore cheaper, it's a better looking engine capable of generating environments sufficient for a BGS style experience, and the teams already have a good working relationship from their cooperation on Fallout 4 and Starfield.
an engine purely optimized for combat and traversal, great idea
I don't hate Todd, but I'm really confused as to why people find him charismatic and to be some hype master. I think he's the most bland, vanilla person I've ever seen.
Folks forget that Zenimax was going through a lot of problems before Xbox acquired them. Because of this, we've seen focused projects increasingly focused on Live service and micro trasions such as: Fallout 76 and Redfall for example. Starfield is in its plans to be released before 2022 initially, it shows just how desperate a mess they were inside! Xbox saved Starfield by giving it more time and putting some of its studios to assist in the final development. I'm really curious how they're going to deliver TEOS VI in this engine of theirs... Next year is the release of GTA VI and probably so many other games with very high levels of quality, will TEOS be up to date enough?
Since Daggerfall Bethesdas rpgs have become dumber and smaller in scope with every release.
I wonder if we’ll ever see another ambitious open world game again.
Such an excellent roast. Made my night.
Bethesda is just garage at this point
I think it’s time for Luke to get an interview man, not trying to dog on Matty, but Luke wouldn’t soft launch important questions that the community have been wanting answers to, js
I dont think he even cares about interviews.
Even if he did care nobody in the industry would want to talk to this man publicly.
His opinions and feedback are weak sauce and any one with some sense can spot that from a mile away.
He caters to the monkey brain so he will only make himself look dumb in the interview.
Matty rattles on a little too much.
STAR CITIZEN HAS ZERO CONTENT AND NOTHING TO DO. How the hell is that eve a comparison
Todd Howard professional liar
The sight and sound of Todd is worse than chalk on a black board.
Brain dead gamers: "Tod how come u wanna make money to keep ur business from failing"
1. I like bgs, and I like Starfield
But 2.
Bgs needs your entite money so sell your house and car and everything so they dont fail!!!!! Fast!!!!!
@@moondiegordr I have never spent a dime on any bgs micro transactions and i have 175hrs on starfield but have un-installed and haven't thought about it since, however I'm not a moron, and understand that ppls work requires pay along with everything else it takes to run bgs.
Even Skyrim was underwhelming graphically and gameplay wise. Animations as well. The character design. The awful textures. Horrific interface. I was pretty disappointed initially, but mods fixed everything and continue to improve the game on incredible levels today.
Luke, if you haven’t modded Skyrim, then you’re missing out on a VASTLY superior experience.
I will die before I play Skyrim without SkyUI
Replayed skyrim recently (100%'d it on steam) the "local maps" are TERRIBLE, they are so hard to comprehend and are incredibly lazy, and on top of that they bug out and turn into what the original starfield maps looked like (they vanish and leave a blank screen with a marker showing where you are..) this happened at least 50% of the time i tried to use it, closing it and reopening the map would fix it. xP
I think the maps are made in a way that makes things take longer, in order for scope to seem bigger. I think when you put everything into a local map it squares up the fact that there isn't much to do in singular locations.
That is incredibly odd, I haven't played Skyrim for over the last year and a half, but I never ran into those issues for the entire decade I was playing the game, in fact it was functional when I was playing it, but then again I didn't play Anniversary edition, I stayed behind the times and kept playing on special edition, people say that the anniversary edition is far better now, but I don't know if I can make the move, that's the difficulty of Bethesda games every time there's a damn update yes it breaks the mods but it also makes you lose interest because there are some mods it will never be upgraded because that person left the modding community and isn't likely to come back or update their mod so it kind of sucks because you want to update because there are some cool mods in the update, but you're going to have to put them on pass because you like this other mod that will not likely be upgraded, so you have to stay in your lane with what mods he lights the most of back in the day, it's so stupid I get super annoyed by it, it would be nice if these updates didn't break the game every damn time, it would be nice if Bethesda I don't know maybe created their own fucking script extender, so everyone didn't have to rely on the modding community constantly every time they break the fucking extender.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Bethesda will never make their own script extender, because that would allow people to brick consoles.
Massive PR nightmare
@@chainsaw8507
look i don't claim to fully understand this stuff, so what is in the script extender that wouldn't work for consoles, now i will say i was saying this for the PC version and not the console version, but i would still like to know why it would brick the consoles?
Todd is not good at getting people hyped for his games, people just are stupid in general to stuff anything in their face and swallow before asking what type of crap they just consumed. Plenty of sheep to go around. That is why people buy new Pokemon games even though they are utter garbage.
50:38 Yep, you can't even have one hypothetical response without doing the direct opposite of what you claim Matty is doing.
...he's literally taking the piss out of himself?
@@jond7691 He even went as far as to say that the interview wasnt supposed to be hard hitting and it's just a promotional piece.
Man is pure trolling. Matty asked the big questions.
Sometimes I wonder if Luke even thinks before he speaks.
My god could you squeeze any more ads into this video?! Are you not making ends meet? Do you need us to donate?
Todd says the vehicle is awesome in the same way that a dude who's losing his job but is trying to stay on good enough terms with the person firing him to get a decent reference. He's like basically muttering it as though it was pounded into him via communist struggle session. Then he realizes, and snaps back into smiling salesman mode
As much as I understand the sentiment that they cannot just get away with what they used to be able to get away with, I do also feel like Bethesda and even Ubisoft have a target on their backs. And I think the biggest thing that made me feel this recently was actually assassins creed shadows reactions. For the first time in years I feel genuinely excited (curbing my hype as much as I can) for an Assassin's Creed game, but aaaaaall of the comments on the video were literally like "Oh wow, doors just magically open themselves in this game, lazy ass devs". At a certain point, people will refuse and I mean refuse to give any game a chance if it's from Ubisoft or Bethesda, and I do think that's unfair. Wait until it releases and make your decision with a clean slate. If you go in wanting it to be bad, no matter how good it is you'll probably think it's bad because you will hyper focus on every little detail that one game or another did better or differently instead of appreciating this game for what it does really good. So in that sense to me it does feel like they have targets on their backs. You can have big things to criticize and still be unfairly criticized as a whole.
Oh for sure
There's entire groups of people who don't even play Bethesda or Ubisoft games, that spend hours arguing with people on how objectively shit they are, and why you should hate them
Like I don't play Ubisoft games anymore, but I definitely don't spend my time arguing with fans of their games on why the games they love are objectively shit
I honestly believe Todd himself is part of the issue with this. He's the ultimate salesman, and hypes his games up constantly to 16x what they should be. I could be wrong, but I don't remember much negativity at all during the build up to Starfield, it was only once the game dropped and all the bits it was missing became painfully obvious that things turned. That and the perception of modding has gone from "wow look what I can add to the game" to "great, I can fix the game and add interesting content". I do agree about Ubisoft though, as someone who has never been interested in an AC game, watching the internet losing their mind over Yasuke, whether rightly or wrongly seemed pretty dramatic. But then again, I was annoyed about the Dragon Age trailer so I can't talk.
What I would say now though is that BGS have painted a target on their own back for ES6, simply because their offerings have seemed to decrease in quality control and reception with every game, a lot of people (myself included) are getting very tense thinking of the potential problems with what is a beloved franchise.
You're really getting mileage off of someone else's video.
Thats literally how react content works and has been working for how many years.
I do not even believe for even a little bit that they cannot switch the creation engine because then they won’t be able to mod for the community. That’s just a load of shit. There are so many games out there have a modded community so they can absolutely do it. They just have to actually do it and not be lazy.
Starfield was lying simulator at first you think woah endless planets to explore then you find out it’s a walking sim/ loading screen demo
NMS is also a walking sim, Yet that gets boosted in popularity every update.
@@human3504 No Man's Sky is also nearly completely seamless- and also, it came out in 2016. :)
@@ThrobbGoblin it's a game with online functionality so it's going to have that.
@@human3504 ??? What does online functionality have to do with anything ???
@@ThrobbGoblin Assuming you meant no loading screens when you said seamless. Most multiplayer games don't have much load screens. NMS online functions of easily joining friends or going on expeditions with others. Starfield is a single player game with no online functions.
Happy for Matty for getting this interview since I know it meant a lot to him. Still doesn't change the fact he softballs Bethesda and Todd, and Starfield is awful.
Bringing up the response to creations, creation engine, giving their IPs to other studios, trackers alliance quest, addressing Starfield’s design issues, etc… (all which Todd has never been asked before btw) are NOT softballs lol come on.
I’d maybe give Ryan McCaffrey the benefit of the doubt… but NO ONE else would have asked Todd those questions in such a direct manner like Matty did.
You dont deserve a interview
I did not appreciate the jokes about Todd's height, Luke.
You👏Need👏To👏Do👏Better👏
Lol nice call back
My only complaint about the matty interview is he rambles way too much when asking his questions.
Todd Howard aint shit but a current gen Peter Molyneux
Last of us 2 took 5 years and Starfield somehow took 10 years… more like Todd Howard wrote down ideas on a napkin 10 years ago and now uses it as marketing, I can almost guarantee that it only took them three years tops to make this game. Also the fact he keeps saying they won’t change the engine because of mods, is totally ridiculous because it’s not the mod makers that get paid to fix the game or make it better. it’s F’ing Todd and Bethesda
That's an awful comparison and an L take.
@@sethwright186 please explain, maybe I can have a better understanding
@@Amias1221 Comparing those two games makes no sense considering how different they are, regardless of how long it took them to make the game or what engine they choose to use it's all their business as creators. Bethesda overhauled their entire engine into a new iteration but that doesn't count towards anything, they've onboarded modders who were already doing the thing they now get paid for but that's not worth mentioning. Your complaints are boring, misleading, and honestly pretty cheap.
@@sethwright186 Technically, these aren't different games; they're both semi open-world games. One exudes more passion, love, and in-depth story and character development. If you're taking issue with what I'm saying, it's because you recognize the truth. Or, you might be trying to emphasize a minuscule difference by classifying one as an RPG and the other as a story-driven narrative. However, if you really think about it they are more alike than you’re giving credit too, crafting weapons, doing side missions leveling up your character, the only real difference is Starfield allows you to create a character and LOU doesn't… Down to the actual nitty-gritty they both occur within confined spaces. Just like when you roam around Seattle “LOU2” or explore a planet “Starfield”, it's within those specific little confines or bubbles as Luke says. When you're in Seattle, navigating on horseback amidst various buildings, everything is meticulously crafted and not copied and pasted. In Bethesda's game, you land on a planet and after running for fifteen minutes, you come across the same cave repetitively with the same enemies, same mechanics. This never occurs in The Last of Us, and yet you can traverse each objective vastly different because it gives you that choice and Starfield does not. when it comes to Bethesda and it’s games being sold as full products when they’re not, it’s kind of like a Ponzi scheme they give you a bare bones game and they expect everyone else to fix it. Make it better, make it's full, make it awesome, add actual character, and it’s sad that the community has to do all of this without any of the actual pay “Excuse the four mod makers they added to Bethesda”😱, also well Bethesda makes billions of dollars and we the community do all the work because they’ve been allowed to take advantage of us, and now people are seeing they can’t make anything much better than they did in 2011 tbh.
You're just so wrong and as far as me being misleading or disingenuous is obnoxiously ignorant.
One studio has the gall to take risks and show passion and sadly one has lost most of their creativity and fervor.
@@Amias1221how tf do you compare TLU to SF? Come up with a different comparison. It’s like you just took your favorite game and compared it to SF.
38:28 while you pontificate, bloviate, and snarkily explain "current gen console standards", you know what *another* 'current gen standard' is that is being forgotten by literally ALL other AAA developers?
The ridiculously detailed physics engine their custom tech has! You said yourself not so many minutes before how the amount of world items and the way they interact with each other is immense and something unique to BGS. Now, I totally agree that they need to do more with it.
They should FOR SURE do what you talked about with moving debris to find a mcguffin, or finding other ways to utilize the tech would be important and beneficial. But NO other game does physics interactables to the scale BGS games do.
Don't sit here and say the only measure of current or next gen is graffix alone. Yes,. no load screens are nice. But now tell those games to add the hundreds to THOUSANDS of physics items Fallout has and let's see how the lack of loading screens works out for those games.
Fuckin' hilarious, man. Get some perspective.
Nobody cares about thousand items interacting with each other. You are talking like this massively underutilized physics feature is worth having over a videogame that isn’t riddled with loading screens lmao. Absolutely nobody gives a shit, the reason other games don’t have it, is because its garbage. “Get some perspective”, bsg fanatic.
I think die hard Bethesda fans like Matty cant find it in their heart to admit that Bethesda flopped with this one
Flopped is a silly phrase considering sales. Be personally disappointed, not exaggerative.
@@sethwright186 These people don't know how to be objective
They get so cought up in their opinions, they can't fathom people disagreeing with them
Game was definitely disappointing, but I'm pretty sure the game made a lot of money, there's a reason why Bethesda isn't bankrupt rn 😂
I,m sorry Luke but I can't watch this interview, I,m so mad , upset, why why why , they are taking the **** , fallout 76 a cash cow 4 years on that spent a lot, starfield deluxe, the game is so bad , he has lost the shine of game designing
