There's a tribute to a Bethesda gamer fan who died from cancer a few months before he was able to play the game, Alex Hay. You can find it as a note on a table at the entrance of 'the eye'.
I realize New Atlantis is not enclosed. I darted out into the wilderness, went like a mile and climbed a mountain and looked at the huge city from afar, watching ships come and go. It was really cool. Almost got killed by wildlife on the way back into town, and found some loot out there too. Im loving this game.
Yup. I built an outpost nearby with a watchtower and landing pad. Really cool to see my ship on the pad with NA in the background. The areas outside major cities/settlements is likely all baked in and totally handcrafted
@@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229 I have yet to hit the wall in my 18.6 hours playing and I've done a lot of planetary exploration in that time. I'm not saying there is no wall, but I AM saying the people that are pointing that out are just looking for problems with the game.
@@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229 You can't explore the entire planet all in one go. You can only get so far from your ship before yes, hitting a barrier. However just on the starting planet, which only has 1 landing spot, it took me 7 hours just to explore it, and I found ~30 locations, many with npc's with quests, some spacers (spacers are space raiders). I also ran into a space deathclaw (terrormorph), and had to run away. Have fun with those.
The Mantis, secret abandoned place, has a ship free to take with shielded cargo already installed, can access the mission during the old neighborhood quest
@@MrParis215 done it at level 9 its not too hard but bring lots of ammo for good guns and meds also theres a password trap so either listen to the logs for clues or look it up
The New Game+ sounds like a massive bonus. My least favorite thing in other Bethesda games was every new playthrough I always have to start over. And the fact that playing the story again unlocks new dialog is pretty cool. I kinda hope there's some time loop-esque dialog in some of them. Just to poke a little fun at New Game +.
@@free_wifi_kidsthe story isn’t supposed to feel urgent. You’re exploring the universe to answer questions. It’s not the same as “the worlds ending if you don’t stop ‘insert waterchip, Alduin, etc’ from continuing its path
@@trevorbakerNUGGA kinda the point of a story is to suck you in. Like the visions you get are the same all the time nothing new. But let's be honest though the main story has never been the main objective in a Bethesda game it's the story you make. Compared to older titles there's always been a sense of urgency. Fallout 3 your dad is missing and your trying to find him, fallout 4 your son literally gets kidnapped and then Skyrim oblivion etc.. the world building in StarField is great though it got me questioning stuff. Im enjoying the game though I came in expecting a another fallout 76. Unlike all the people bitching about it because they overhyped the game
For those wanting to move contraband, there is a mission you get in the first few levels that gives you the mantis ship for free that comes with a shielded cargo hold, it's already a really good ship but with some engine/reactor upgrades and better weapons it's a great ship
@istealpopularnamesforlikes3340 no, it's really not. This game is excellent and it's really pathetic that you keep trying to argue against other people's enjoyment
After 20 hours I can safely say that I'm in love with this game! There is SO MUCH detail in everything, there's A LOT to do, I fell I barely scratched the game lore and mechanics. And very few bugs and just one crash on Xbox. This is it boys, we have a big W after so many disapointments in the last months. Let me get back to the game 🤩
I'm 11 hours in so far. 4 crashes today, but to be Fair, I've only been playing for 11 hours and On release for skyrim and fallout 4 on the pc. I crashed like, 15 times the 1st day. So 4 versus fifteen, and I've come across only 2 visual bugs and no other bugs. I'm saying the fast that did their thing on this. And before anybody says that's a lot. Boulders gate 3 crashed 7 times day one. And I have had an ungodly amount of bugs.
@maddogtank8425 bro I think something wrong with ur PC lol games shouldn't crash that much. I had starfield open on my pc for over 24 hours straight with no crashes or performance leaks
maybe one day bethesda will just announce a game and actually let fanbase code it on their own instead, this way it might actually work, they always get good ideas but are absolutely incapable of coding anything worth my attention, starfield looks, feels and literally is skyrim in space, even carrying objects around is the same aka levitating objects in fron of your character instead of just keeping it in your inventory or at actual hand... and this just goes on and on, its harder to spot any differences apart from story and models lol
@@nbodeh4658 What the absolute f are you talking about? The stuff in mods themselves are often a lot more shoddily crafted and lower quality than what Bethesda has done due to the fact that they have zero budget. The game itself is great, but sure keep worshipping modders.
I highly recommend doing the freestar collective ranger quest line. It gives such a good ship once you complete it. Great storage and weapons, it’s even better than some B class and C class and it’s only an A class.
You can rename weapons (and probably armor) I named all my fave weapons with a 1,2 or 3, so they immediately are at the top of the inventory list, don’t have to scroll too much. Makes it harder to accidentally sell or lose.
Yeah but if you don't have the targeting skill you'll have to have sarah morgan to do it, it's the reason it's available on that mission because she's with you, if she's not with you and you don't have that skill you can't target the engines
biggest tip i didn't know until 100 hours in: "change flight mode". hold that button and ur ship can fly sideways etc. basically now u can turn faster and dogfight in space as it's meant to be (u know, momentum and stuff). tips for beginners is to get the mantis free ship. good starting point and just strap all the weapons u can find. as soon as u unlock particle weapons, get those, its op. also for contraband, go to the Wolf system and head to "the den". its the only place u can sell contraband without getting scanned. so u dont need shielded cargo at all. after stealing a ship, especially a pirate ship, they tend to have contraband on board so go to the den to sell it. it's also cheaper to "register" ur ship via the game menu rather than at a ship service tech, by quite a lot of money.
Number 7 10:09. You can land at New Atlantis, Jemison, Alpha Centauri System. Then go to the wells. (Entry in bottom of lodge) then go to trade authority. You can sell the contraband and buy it back. It removes the tag. Your welcome.
Can you get all skills? Is there a skill limit to prevent you from maxing out in the main game or are you just free to level up and "over level" your character?
@@RudalPL i dont think there is a limit... it would just take a really long time without cheating... i mean youd need to be like level 200-300+ to get all the skills i think most people wont get that high... although with new game+ maybe they will..
Stealth and archery were fun in Morrowind and Oblivion too. Maybe not strong enough to form the de-facto build, but I remember playing characters who used Marksman and Stealth extensively in both.
I'm only 4 hours in, barely scratched the surface. So far I'm loving starfield it's a ton of fun and I've already found myself getting sidetracked on side missions and exploring I can't wait to see what else is out there. The graphics are beautiful, and I've had no bugs yet on my PC.
Same here. I'm on XSX. I spent my first 2-3 hours literally not even leaving the first planet lol. You know, the first planet the game tells you to go to in order to fight some pirate captain. I actually spared him and pursuaded him to stop fucking with me because of how easily I ran through his guys lol. But then afterward I flew around the planet and found some structures and just explored them, fought some dudes, looted some stuff. And like I said, I spent at least TWO HOURS just doing that before I even made it to the next mission objective.
@@Zathren idk what your GPU is in your laptop, but I'm running on max settings with no issues on a 3080ti so you don't need 40 series to that. And I'm at a constant 60-90 FPS either way though whatever card you have there are tons of graphics settings so I'm almost positive you'll be fine, just check what the minimum/recommended system requirements are before you buy the game.
It's been a lotta fun. 8 hours in and feels like I haven't really done much,but in a really good way smh😂. Definitely a game to sink tons of hours into.
I can't believe how many people missed it but if you get lost or on a planet looking for something use your scanner. It will show a path, like skyrim, and will show buildings caves, etc in the area.
You can join the crimson fleet in another way. Speaking to commander Tuala to enlist for the UC. You do the first few missions and after the scary alien encounter you get the option to go undercover in the crimson fleet. At least that's how I did it.
I love, love, love this game. I bought the Premium Edition for my Series X and have roughly 5 hours in. So far I haven't had one single bug, no joke. The game looks incredible, plays buttery smooth, and is just a blast to play.
Just fyi, you can go to the Wolf system which is to the right of the Sol system and sell contraband at the space station there without being scanned. And I REALLY struggled with inventory space so I just poured all of my creds into cargo on my ship. I'm up to 16k storage on it now 😂
Almost 14 hours playing and I have been familiarizing myself with all the game mechanics ... some Main missions but dedicating a lot of time to upgrade my ship, some exploration, but I can definitely sense that it will take a very long time to play this game especially when mods arrive. I started to use Console Commands today.
Useful tip: you can sell stolen items at the trade [something] place within the first hour of the game in new Atlantis down in the well you’ll see a big green sign for it. It doesn’t seem like a place you’d be able to sell stolen stuff but you can. And if you’re like me and steal everything that isn’t bolted down you can make like 10k credits a day or something like that selling stolen stuff.
If you want a more immersive experience i'd suggest never just going to missions and setting a course it's just a loading screen to your destination. I'd suggest tracking the mission > Going to your ship > Launching > looking for the tracker in orbit > Jumping > Getting up and walking out. You see a lot of cool animations you wouldn't otherwise see.
I like this channel when it's Falcon speaking... he's the best. It's the speaking voice and character that I love. Good job man! As long as you're on here I'll watch!
Another good tip. If you upgrade your outpost skill you can link them together and have all of the material sent to one spot. You can also have your base build items for you to sale. Its a good waybto get a constant cash flow going.
It's of course subjective and a matter of personal taste, but I find the design of the ships and space suits / armor to be the opposite of aesthetically pleasing. It's hard to explain why, but they just aren't easy on the eye at all. The ships especially look oddly shaped and tattered. Still can't wait to play on the 6th tho!
I had to laugh when you said stealth archery started in Skyrim. Tell that to my antique toon that stealth hunted Bull and Betty Netches all the time way back in Morrowind. Great tips for Starfield though.
The console menu saved me in Morrowind and Oblivion so many times. I understand having it around so that people complain less about bugs in the pre release.
To be fair with a name like "A High Price To Pay" one should assume its going to be a important mission 😆 great video guys, I must say after watching this I'm kinda wanting even more to play it, I guess it's not what we where expecting but it sounds like it has a lot of stuff I personally like 😊
sure - but the quest that STARTS a high price to pay, doesn't imply it's going to be severly prohibitive, or anything. i mean, part of the point was, no sudden moves leads directly to 'a high price to pay', with no way to leave, seemingly - so, you can't really go 'well from the sound of it, it's serious shit' since by the time you're there, it's too late...
20 hours in, just finishing up building my 4th outpost to automate manufacturing the research items, have done pretty much nothing else but exploring random planets. This game is huge
There's like cover mechanic similar to Fallout 4 where your character can peek out of cover when you aim your weapon. Hope this makes sense. I've tested this out and it works. On the corners and when crouched down a tall enough object.
8:39 We're only at number seven, and you've detailed being a thief, a pirate, and an assassin. Dude? Tell them to give you a raise. Don't go to the Dark Side! 😂😂😂
I'm 12 hrs in I'm a massive Bethesda fan but good God are they ever going to make a game where the combat feels amazing I think the shooting feels worse then fallout 4
Something I learned today is that if u have a cutter in your inventory. If u have your scanner active and are looking at minable ore. Your cutter will auto equip.
So far my only complaint with starfeild is the space combat if you’ve ever played elite dangerous it feels like an extremely watered down version of that
Worth mentioning that registering a stolen ship is significantly cheaper than purchasing one. My stolen ships cost 50k credits for 3-4 registrations. To buy one ship brand new ranges in to the six figure range.
its worth keeping in mind, when you steal an enemy ship, there will most likely be contraband on board that you can only sell at the den in wolf system. going anywhere else with the contraband is a no no mr space mans. i usually find a piece of contraband at the front of the ship and somewhere in the hab. stay safe out there citizens o7
It used to be that the gaming community was just a bunch of computer nerds and so the video game companies were under more critical eyes back then. Fast forward to today, when gaming has become so popularized and commercialized, the companies have become more profit focused and less product focused. The bean-counters and MBA's have taken over many industries and that includes the gaming industry. A little bit off topic, I know, but the truth has to be said ubiquitously. With that said, from every video I see, this game looks amazing.
I am biased towards a sort of Runescape school of thought about gaming, which is counter to thinking that graphics are all-important, and try to really see games for what they are, which is about gameplay and story.
I’ve been a PlayStation only player for the last 10+ years and I’m not sure whether or not to switch over to the dark side because this game looks too good 😭😂
Starfailed doesn't tell you that you can't go exploring the whole planet there is a boundary more like an invisible wall so not to go further, also instead of flying freely they will give you a cutscene leaving the planet instead which is like 2005 video game technology style
This a RGP not a sandbox like no mans sky and star citizen. It was never promised and it was never delivered. Also in a actual game the chances of you hitting the boundry wall is so low.
1 thing I wish either the game or Gameranx told me and I didnt know, if you sleep on the bed even just 1 hour everything is healed even your health I was burning through med packs and food like a fool but any bed you find you can sleep on it and heal.
Had to remember to come back haha A day or so ago, I ran "Into The Unknown". This was after doing the Mantis run at level 10 and doing the Paradiso/colonists stuff 😂😂 MAN!! Listen to Falcon when he says "Trust Me"! Hahahaha Soooo much would've not only opened up more options but made a lot of it easier as well 😅 Hey, those 40s in Mantis were fun to trial out either 🤣🤘🏾
If you go to level 20 star and keep random landing around you can get lucky and find abandoned ships at outposts I found 2 ships so far only 7 hours in. just be careful tho if you go there at the beginning of the game the enemies will be around level 5 to 25
Game is basically Fallout 4 in space and I'm all for it! It's all I wanted. The people complaining either just don't like Bethesda style games (which is fine, but why did you expect any different?) or are looking for reasons to complain for some reason. The biggest laugh is people complaining about the invisible wall if you run over 50km from your ship. It takes ages to run that far, you're still talking about an area in just one ship landing that's like half the size of Skyrim (so take off, land in a new random spot, and bam new Skyrim), and just like any other Bethesda game there's nothing to see between POIs anyway so the point is just to beeline between map markers and explore those. One 50km square will usually have at least a couple dozen points of interest to clear out in various ways. Sure the map is procedurally generated, but the POIs are handcrafted and dropped in so are pretty interesting and varied (and I would not be surprised to see More POIs mods pop up as some of the most popular in the long run).
I've really been enjoying what I've seen so far, The space stuff is my favorite so far. EDIT: if you angry about the game and feel as though you were let down, That's a you problem. I enjoyed the game, If you don't enjoy it don't make it my problem.
Starfield, Bethesda's highly anticipated space RPG, shines with potential, but a critical limitation is the inability to pilot your ship onto planets freely. For those with a vivid imagination and a willingness to embrace the game's lore, it's a solid 10/10 experience. However, if you're like me, craving the freedom to explore planets up close, the restricted ship navigation may leave you wanting, ultimately making it a 7/10 game. In short, Starfield's brilliance depends on your adaptability to its unique approach to space exploration.
They don’t even have full planets on this game either. Run far enough and it’s an invisible wall… the procedural world isn’t continuous either. Which means if you see mountain in the distance, you can’t get to it. If you launched and try to land next to it on the surface map. It won’t be there. That’s a whole disappointment for me 🤦🏾♂️
I did a new game plus and did not keep any equipment. Just something if note. Idk if it was a bug or a "design feature" but all I had was the new ship, new clothes, and my perks
It's sad that this comes out before the game is fully released. It's also sad that you should probably wait 6+ months before playing it so most of the bugs and issues are fixed.
Lol that's not true at all. My PC is way cheaper than that and runs the game at 1440p just fine. Getting 70ish FPS on average at medium, but I guess it's not running cuz I didn't spend $2,000.
Boost packs can be changed to the others. So if you find a nice Legendary and it has basic boost you can switch to one of the others as long as the requirements are met.
I started the game on hard mode. Once I become overpowered for that, going to kick it up another notch. I think this is a good way to keep the battles interesting, curious what everyone else started on.
you do not have to type player.additem or the 0's you can just type additem f and then the number you want... 0 at the start of the code string means blank

I foresee SSV Normandy and Pillar of Autumn Ship mod coming out soon
I desire to download Darth Maul's The Scimitar starship
Someone already made a pelican from halo
I can't believe how many people missed it but if you get lost or on a planet looking for something use your scanner. It will show a path, like skyrim, and will show buildings caves, etc in the area.
Thank you falcon for making me complete into the unknown quest. I was doing everything but the main story I appreciate it.👍
You can join the crimson fleet in another way. Speaking to commander Tuala to enlist for the UC. You do the first few missions and after the scary alien encounter you get the option to go undercover in the crimson fleet. At least that's how I did it.
I love, love, love this game. I bought the Premium Edition for my Series X and have roughly 5 hours in. So far I haven't had one single bug, no joke. The game looks incredible, plays buttery smooth, and is just a blast to play.
👍🏼
Just fyi, you can go to the Wolf system which is to the right of the Sol system and sell contraband at the space station there without being scanned.
And I REALLY struggled with inventory space so I just poured all of my creds into cargo on my ship. I'm up to 16k storage on it now 😂
Almost 14 hours playing and I have been familiarizing myself with all the game mechanics ... some Main missions but dedicating a lot of time to upgrade my ship, some exploration, but I can definitely sense that it will take a very long time to play this game especially when mods arrive. I started to use Console Commands today.
Can't decide if I want to buy the game or not. I'm kinda stuck on ac6 at the moment, but the game does look kinda fun.
This TOTALLY sounds like a game I could play for months

@@rezara9510decade*
youd think but i find it very limited in so many areas, exploration is bad and makes star citizen look great
@@koolerpurewhat an embarrassing comment lol
@@koolerpureIt is pretty limiting as is. Hopefully some mods will expand it.
Useful tip: you can sell stolen items at the trade [something] place within the first hour of the game in new Atlantis down in the well you’ll see a big green sign for it. It doesn’t seem like a place you’d be able to sell stolen stuff but you can.
And if you’re like me and steal everything that isn’t bolted down you can make like 10k credits a day or something like that selling stolen stuff.
If you want a more immersive experience i'd suggest never just going to missions and setting a course it's just a loading screen to your destination. I'd suggest tracking the mission > Going to your ship > Launching > looking for the tracker in orbit > Jumping > Getting up and walking out. You see a lot of cool animations you wouldn't otherwise see.
That sounds tedious af
lol, the ship flight experience in this game should have just been left out.
@@I_enjoy_some_things Let's leave out ship flight in a space game. That's some smooth brain thinking right there.
@@ArtOfCon-trollespecially since you can have alot of good encounters in space.
I think your commentary is probably my favorite part of these videos 🤣
I like this channel when it's Falcon speaking... he's the best. It's the speaking voice and character that I love. Good job man! As long as you're on here I'll watch!
you can also get a really good ship if complete the freestar ranger questline
Another good tip. If you upgrade your outpost skill you can link them together and have all of the material sent to one spot. You can also have your base build items for you to sale. Its a good waybto get a constant cash flow going.
It's of course subjective and a matter of personal taste, but I find the design of the ships and space suits / armor to be the opposite of aesthetically pleasing. It's hard to explain why, but they just aren't easy on the eye at all. The ships especially look oddly shaped and tattered. Still can't wait to play on the 6th tho!
I had to laugh when you said stealth archery started in Skyrim. Tell that to my antique toon that stealth hunted Bull and Betty Netches all the time way back in Morrowind. Great tips for Starfield though.
The console menu saved me in Morrowind and Oblivion so many times. I understand having it around so that people complain less about bugs in the pre release.
To be fair with a name like "A High Price To Pay" one should assume its going to be a important mission 😆 great video guys, I must say after watching this I'm kinda wanting even more to play it, I guess it's not what we where expecting but it sounds like it has a lot of stuff I personally like 😊
sure - but the quest that STARTS a high price to pay, doesn't imply it's going to be severly prohibitive, or anything.
i mean, part of the point was, no sudden moves leads directly to 'a high price to pay', with no way to leave, seemingly - so, you can't really go 'well from the sound of it, it's serious shit' since by the time you're there, it's too late...
Starfield is such a huge game i will still be finding out new things about the game for years lol
20 hours in, just finishing up building my 4th outpost to automate manufacturing the research items, have done pretty much nothing else but exploring random planets. This game is huge
There's like cover mechanic similar to Fallout 4 where your character can peek out of cover when you aim your weapon. Hope this makes sense. I've tested this out and it works. On the corners and when crouched down a tall enough object.
8:39 We're only at number seven, and you've detailed being a thief, a pirate, and an assassin. Dude? Tell them to give you a raise. Don't go to the Dark Side! 😂😂😂
I'm 12 hrs in I'm a massive Bethesda fan but good God are they ever going to make a game where the combat feels amazing I think the shooting feels worse then fallout 4
Feels the same but fallout has gore lol
Gunplay in Starfield is objectively better than Fallout 4 lmao
Just started playing last night, was randomly exploring and fell on the mantis suit and ship, I'm well chuffed!
Something I learned today is that if u have a cutter in your inventory. If u have your scanner active and are looking at minable ore. Your cutter will auto equip.
We've leveled up from stealth Archer to Invisible stealth Shotgun. We all know what will happen at high levels
Sniper shotty style.
So far my only complaint with starfeild is the space combat if you’ve ever played elite dangerous it feels like an extremely watered down version of that
How timely that I watched this while in the middle of the No Sudden Moves mission
Worth mentioning that registering a stolen ship is significantly cheaper than purchasing one. My stolen ships cost 50k credits for 3-4 registrations. To buy one ship brand new ranges in to the six figure range.
Gameranx on the grind
11:12 actually that mission doesn't require it, it just makes it easier, but it it certainly nice to have.
I'm going to colonise and declare myself Emperor of Earth.
you don't "HAVE TO" get the targeting system perk. if you're a good pilot you can hit the parts you want without it. EMP helps
I love Falcon's star wars references!! Even I get boarded sometimes 🤷♂
its worth keeping in mind, when you steal an enemy ship, there will most likely be contraband on board that you can only sell at the den in wolf system. going anywhere else with the contraband is a no no mr space mans. i usually find a piece of contraband at the front of the ship and somewhere in the hab. stay safe out there citizens o7
Glad Falcons voice has returned to normal. 😊
It used to be that the gaming community was just a bunch of computer nerds and so the video game companies were under more critical eyes back then. Fast forward to today, when gaming has become so popularized and commercialized, the companies have become more profit focused and less product focused. The bean-counters and MBA's have taken over many industries and that includes the gaming industry. A little bit off topic, I know, but the truth has to be said ubiquitously.
With that said, from every video I see, this game looks amazing.
I am biased towards a sort of Runescape school of thought about gaming, which is counter to thinking that graphics are all-important, and try to really see games for what they are, which is about gameplay and story.
if the game tells me any of this I'm unsubscribing
I disagree with number 3. If you reach that mission early and lose the companion you will never get the chance to do their companion quests.
I’ve been a PlayStation only player for the last 10+ years and I’m not sure whether or not to switch over to the dark side because this game looks too good 😭😂
Buy a pc
Lend him the money
Get a pc tbh Morr expensive but worth it
Thank you Falcon for telling us to play into the unknown. That's a great crescendo
Such an amazing game so far, its made my whole year
If you join the crimson fleet questline you can get a scan jammer that can reduce the channce to get caught with contraband by 10,30 or 50 percent 😊
Starfailed doesn't tell you that you can't go exploring the whole planet there is a boundary more like an invisible wall so not to go further, also instead of flying freely they will give you a cutscene leaving the planet instead which is like 2005 video game technology style
This a RGP not a sandbox like no mans sky and star citizen. It was never promised and it was never delivered. Also in a actual game the chances of you hitting the boundry wall is so low.
1 thing I wish either the game or Gameranx told me and I didnt know, if you sleep on the bed even just 1 hour everything is healed even your health I was burning through med packs and food like a fool but any bed you find you can sleep on it and heal.
Had to remember to come back haha A day or so ago, I ran "Into The Unknown". This was after doing the Mantis run at level 10 and doing the Paradiso/colonists stuff 😂😂 MAN!! Listen to Falcon when he says "Trust Me"! Hahahaha Soooo much would've not only opened up more options but made a lot of it easier as well 😅 Hey, those 40s in Mantis were fun to trial out either 🤣🤘🏾
If you go to level 20 star and keep random landing around you can get lucky and find abandoned ships at outposts I found 2 ships so far only 7 hours in. just be careful tho if you go there at the beginning of the game the enemies will be around level 5 to 25
Holy smokes. A "Boo-Urns" reference? Im in love.
Game is basically Fallout 4 in space and I'm all for it! It's all I wanted. The people complaining either just don't like Bethesda style games (which is fine, but why did you expect any different?) or are looking for reasons to complain for some reason.
The biggest laugh is people complaining about the invisible wall if you run over 50km from your ship. It takes ages to run that far, you're still talking about an area in just one ship landing that's like half the size of Skyrim (so take off, land in a new random spot, and bam new Skyrim), and just like any other Bethesda game there's nothing to see between POIs anyway so the point is just to beeline between map markers and explore those. One 50km square will usually have at least a couple dozen points of interest to clear out in various ways. Sure the map is procedurally generated, but the POIs are handcrafted and dropped in so are pretty interesting and varied (and I would not be surprised to see More POIs mods pop up as some of the most popular in the long run).
Do the corporate missions that give you Mind Control /manipulation dualogs and at tye end you get clothing that gives 25% harder to detect bonus
Straight to Wolf with the contraband. We ain’t worried abt shielded cargos over hereeee
I've really been enjoying what I've seen so far, The space stuff is my favorite so far.
EDIT: if you angry about the game and feel as though you were let down, That's a you problem. I enjoyed the game, If you don't enjoy it don't make it my problem.
Yeah...one loading screen after another
If you don't like the game, That's fine. Don't complain to me as if I'm your therapist.

Starfield, Bethesda's highly anticipated space RPG, shines with potential, but a critical limitation is the inability to pilot your ship onto planets freely. For those with a vivid imagination and a willingness to embrace the game's lore, it's a solid 10/10 experience. However, if you're like me, craving the freedom to explore planets up close, the restricted ship navigation may leave you wanting, ultimately making it a 7/10 game. In short, Starfield's brilliance depends on your adaptability to its unique approach to space exploration.
They don’t even have full planets on this game either. Run far enough and it’s an invisible wall… the procedural world isn’t continuous either. Which means if you see mountain in the distance, you can’t get to it. If you launched and try to land next to it on the surface map. It won’t be there. That’s a whole disappointment for me 🤦🏾♂️
It’s not a space exploration game. It’s an RPG in space.
This sounds like an AI wrote it
@@CasperReacts0336Liar
I don't care about not personally landing ships.
If you hold right click or im guessing LT for controllers while mining your cutter will almost instantly mine ore.
Thanks dude these are going to help big time!!!
This game hardly tells you anything 🤣
I did a new game plus and did not keep any equipment. Just something if note. Idk if it was a bug or a "design feature" but all I had was the new ship, new clothes, and my perks
The key thing is... Will it have that classic Gamebryo jank?
Yes, yes it will.
I'm not excited for the game but I'm excited for the mods and what the game will look like in a year LOL
LOL!!!
I just want a cheat room mod on xbox and a lightsaber mod and im jet until the bigger mods
It's sad that this comes out before the game is fully released. It's also sad that you should probably wait 6+ months before playing it so most of the bugs and issues are fixed.
Biggest thing it didn’t tell me was that it was impossible to run on a pc worth less than $2k 💀
Mine was around $1.5k nand it runs well.
Lol that's not true at all. My PC is way cheaper than that and runs the game at 1440p just fine. Getting 70ish FPS on average at medium, but I guess it's not running cuz I didn't spend $2,000.

Or you could go to the Wolf system just near Sol and sell the contraband to the trade merchant shop there- they don't scan ships at all in that system

You don’t have to get arrested to join the crimson fleet, just join the UC Vanguard
Thanks for this nice review, Falcon ❤
You can hold down the (Y) on x-box to pick things up and move them, dump them out, and move them around. Including hiding bodies.
Wow thanks for the contraband note of it having yellow marker. I just acquired something off bounty hunters
The fact that the game is running on an updated engine from 15 years ago is a big explanation why it feels dated. Imo
Boost packs can be changed to the others. So if you find a nice Legendary and it has basic boost you can switch to one of the others as long as the requirements are met.
I started the game on hard mode. Once I become overpowered for that, going to kick it up another notch. I think this is a good way to keep the battles interesting, curious what everyone else started on.
Same here. Playing on hard mode.
YO NEW GAME PLUS?! Lets go man!!
