    Instead of pulling another rerelease of Skyrim out of his hat, Todd Howard has released his dream game, Starfield. His dream game doesn't seem all that different from his previous games like Fallout or Skyrim, but that didn't stop him from promising you that this time the magic would be real.

    the lack of long range communications worked in skyrim: you had to physically run the whole way from Markarth to Riften on foot to deliver a message because there is no technology. It half-worked with Fallout: you have technology and radios, but not everyone has one, or more importantly, a working one. But it doesn't work at all in Starfield, where it's the future, you have FTL travel, but NOBODY has phones. It can be argued that FTL travel is faster than radio transmissions between solar systems, but you shouldn't have to deliver a message on foot to someone on the same planet, or hell, in the same city, or even building.

    • @aaronf4275
      @aaronf4275 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Exactly.
      In medieval (fantasy) times your brain instantly thinks of foot and horse travel and messengers crossing wild and dangerous lands and trails to finally deliver a message.
      In apocalyptic times again, barely functioning tech and having to regress back to medieval forms of foot delivery.
      How they thought in a game with spaceships, interplanetary travel, laser weapons etc. that nothing like email, text messaging or facetime can exist and that this will be acceptable to the players. Well it’s laughable. They just are so fucking lazy there and it’s clearly because they didn’t know how to make the player need to travel with those systems. Lazy ass shite game development.

      and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. there is simply too much work to do in order to make Starfield good that it's pointless. no one will want to put that much effort into a game that isn't even GOOD at it's bones.

    I will give them one singular compliment: the idea of new game plus players fighting each other over artifacts via multiverse travel, which causes changes between playthroughs is actually a pretty novel story idea of combining multiverses and new game plus.

      Personally, I feel Dragon's Dogma is the only game that mechanically breaks this kind of fourth wall well in it's overall weak narrative, but philosophical worldbuilding. The game is fun and short enough to encourage multiple playthroughs, and how the online/offline functionality affects who the last boss is is quite a killer design choice, imo.

      I don't know what people expected. Every rpg since Skyrim has been mediocre or downright bad, with Fallout 4 being mediocre and 76 being horrible. Fallout 4 was already by release rightfully criticized for being outdated, so how the same issues appeared in a game 8 years later is simply beyond me.
      The next Elder Scrolls is probably going to be bad too, because Bethesda consists of talentless hacks not capable of operating on industry standart.

      Agreed - played Cyberpunk straight after dropping Starfield and the difference is blatant. Cyberpunk is made by people who cared about quality. By skilled artists, story writers and developers. Starfield was phoned in with the bare minimum to please the board of directors. Also, there's Elden Ring, RDR2, Witcher 3 and 100's of other games all better than Starfield. Any Ubisoft game, too. I mean, that's a low bar, but looks like Bethesda wanted to copy the Ubi formula (and reap similar profits) but couldn't even achieve that. It's also obvious that Starfield tries to copy Cyverpunk with Neon, yet also fails abysmally.

I never felt any interest in playing this game. I remember asking someone “does this game have aliens? No? Then what’s the point?” The reason why Skyrim and fallout got so many mods is because beneath the surface, there was a method to the madness and a masterpiece to be realized, as a Wise Dragon once said, “Which is better, to be released good, or to overcome your bad nature through great Mods?”

    When I was still in my game pass enabled honeymoon phase with Starfield, I kept hearing about how interesting and revolutionary the new game plus feature was. Then I got a little deeper into the game and spoilers became more common knowledge and a certain point I just went “so the point of playing this is to play it again?” I realized I was having no fun and that every single location felt like a tiny cardboard box and the only way to travel between them was through another much smaller cardboard box that I could rearrange to look like a different cardboard box. It’s kind of baffling how creatively unambitious this is, not only in comparison with their other games but with other games in the genre.

    I fetched my 7th artefact (gosh, that was exciting!) and on my way back to Gloom Manor I made a detour to speak to a bloke I’d completed a puerile side quest for. He was in a conversation and he wouldn’t stop no matter what I did. And as I waited for him to finish a little voice whispered “if you have to fetch one more effing artefact , your soul will shrivel up and die!” And my soul had been struggling since the first moments of this game, so I left and never went back.

    Mass Effect 1 all the way back in 2007 had these small open world segments on certain planets that you could explore using a vehicle. There were some small points of interest and actually a decent amount of different events. And yet, even the developers admitted these sections being so terrible that they got cut for the rest of the trilogy and no one bat an eye. The only time an open world returned to this franchise was in Andromeda, where exploration was more of a focus and even then the worlds felt better designed than in Starfield.

Had you get involved in a rescue of the Constellation member while waiting for your ship to get unloaded at the first landing site. Then give you agency over whether you even take on the mission to start with. Have the guy you rescue get wounded and his ship get torn up making his leaving that first world a very long way off.

    What Starfield really needs is a warehouse/auction-house to sell to when you reach a port and, by corollary, any of the shops only sell to you. Purchases like the real world without the need to sell to a lot of places. Walk into the centre of any city and tell me that you can't find a half dozen shops that will sell you a variant of an item you want.
    They call most of these "cities" the same way, that the people in the 1800's called a small town "Dodge City".

    6:05 this was probably one of my biggest gripes. We’re not allowed to fly our ship in atmosphere, have no method of traveling on ground besides our legs, and as previously stated we can’t run for more than 12 seconds before we have an asthma attack.
    Not to mention the landmarks on planets can be literal kilometers away from one another, requiring like 10 minutes of jogging/choking if you’re traveling in a straight line to one.
    They made multiple open worlds, then made it obnoxious to explore said open worlds. For a game where you literally are strong armed into an EXPLORATION company, it’s really really bad.

The Hunter in particular likely went through at least more than 7-10 times. He mentioned that he went through it so many times, he doesn't care about others anymore. Yet, he's a pushover. My character was able to "kill" him several times during our first battle. Keep in mind that my character didn't even go through the reborn process yet and barely obtained powers.
