I'm offended about the Starfield pronoun situation, I made my character to look like Michael Jackson, and the only pronouns avaliable were he/him and not he/hee
The only thing I wish they added was the ability to "land" on/in these gas giants, sun's, black holes; but it's just a cutscene of your ship exploding 😂
I think you should be able to approach a star, black hole, or gas giant and be realistically annihilated. It would be a lot funnier to see the tweet of a man who doesn't understand why his ship was turned into a singularity vs someone complaining that they can't approach the celestial body in the first place.
For the gas giant I'd say a good thing to show would be the sound of a can being crushed on a black screen, the black hole would just be a black screen, and a little animation from far-off where your ship is just a tiny speck just a bug zappering itself into the sun would be funny
Wow that actually would have been so good haha. Another missed opportunity. it’s such a small component of the game (letting the player control the ship and other vehicles) but it takes away so much from the over all experience. smh
its better to write it as a point to push his dumass woke agenda then to see and say the obvious, litrly everyone says you shuld be able to enter a planet even if it kills you.
@@jcarirthe primary function of a space suit is being airtight. If it allows gasses to get inside the suit then its by definition not air tight. My issue was not that it doesnt protect against everything, but fails at the primary function it suppose to have.
Well there’s gotta be some liberties taken. I mean heck in Fallout 4 you could jump from the top of a skyscraper in power armor and you’d be fine or how FromSoft protagonist’s can carry hundreds of weapons and clothing pieces and only get encumbered when they equip them
@@____Carnage____those are all compromises where the game is less realistic to be less annoying. This is case where the game is less realistic to be more annoying. It's not a compromise, it's a negative from every angle.
Spoilers, but there is a quest where you fly into the outer atmosphere of a gas giant in Starfield. But part of the quest is assembling a special shield upgrade to not get melted by the EM emissions of the gas giant and even then you take constant damage the entire time you're in there.
this was his initial impression, which many other did share at the time as well. In his later video he did say it was a disappointment while he did like playing it a bit.
@@zacgarcia9082 it’s pretty much Cloud City from Star Wars. Would be a cool addition in Starfield as long as it’s not just another procedurally generated place with things to shoot in it.
I’m a little sad you didn’t mention the guy who legitimately mistook real life pictures of Mars for in-game screenshots and then complained they didn’t look good enough
@@Bapa_nada I mean, he personally only had 4 glitches happen. And compared to Skyrims RAM leak issues, FO3's many issues, FO4's MANY glitches and...*barf* FO76...everything is polished. xD
@@trippymlgjunkrat5749 Okay. Dunno how this relates to anything i this thread, but okay. "Hey, compared to the named games, Starfield is actually quite polished" You: "Gonna play all those other games!" It's almost like some people are incapable of actually understanding simple sentences on YT.
It's not a full suit just one that floats abit in water so they train their muscles and muscle memory. The coast guard brought some of these to my school during a recruitment day once they felt super weird like trying to swim with pool noodles under your arms.
Ironically enough to everyone complaining that you can’t go into gas giants, there actually is a part of the pirate questline where you do get to go into a gas giant for a short period and it practically melts through your ship for the few seconds you fly through it.
@@AQS521 Pressure, pressure crushes the ship like tin can in gas giant atmosphere. In this hypothetical case I assume the shields are thing holding for a bit.
@AQS521 well it depends, gravity on Jupiter for example is only really about 2.5 times that of earth. The danger comes from heat and weight of the gas above you if you go deep into the planet.
9:27 Also, swimming/diving in their spacesuits is literally how astronauts train for EVA because it's the best way we have here on earth to simulate zero-G for meaningful periods of time
If a game asks me at the beginning if I want to kill myself, and I pick yes and die, that game is immediately gaining a +1 in rating from me for the funniest shit ever
For the "mass effect gas giant thing", yes you can go to a gas giant in the game. Its the shadow broker DLC. You are on a space ship though for the entire mission. :D
Yeah, but it's all in a space station in the upper atmosphere of a gas giant, and even then the only reason the station can survive is because of the forcefield that Mass Effect fields can create.
@@alexlyster3459 I am being charatable to the people posting about the gas giant stuff. I think they just want floating stations just like in star wars.
Hagalaz (the planet the Shadow Broker's ship is on) isn't a gas giant. It's a rock planet whose surface is split between freezing cold and burning heat. Where the two seasons meet a constant mega-storm rages. If you want an actual gas giant that you visit in Mass Effect (also in ME2) then look no further than the brown dwarf that contains the derelict Reaper.
On the whole it isn't a big deal thing. Even as someone who doesn't really care about the pronoun debacle, I did find it alarming that mod sites like Nexus mods are actively taking down mods that remove pronoun selection all together, I mean Act Man was even community noted about this on Twitter.
Why would you need that though? When you pick the male or female body, it automatically picks the set of pronouns that your body type is typically assigned to. You don’t have to touch that. It does it for you.
exactly, even if there might be bigoted modders it just shows an obvious bias and lack of spine when it comes to nexusmods, "if they arent a big deal, then shouldnt be a big deal to mod them out amirite?" "no dont do it youre banned you pos, ignore our lolita mods we allow on skyrim page btw thx come again"
@@fireheart8878 Yeah, I know. I actually play the game... Like I said I just found it alarming in general that mods were being taken down and people were being banned, just for actually putting those kinds of mods up in the first place. Since I'm a firm believer that no one, "no one" should be policing what mods you install and enjoy in a single player game.
@@diogo5963 Basically this, I get judging people for what mods they have installed since people are human but outright banning people and taking down mods just cause you don't agree with them is where I draw the line.
@@DBaronVonV yeah I can understand that. To be fair, I was also kinda surprised when the same thing was happening during the Spider-Man drama, when they took down mods removing the gay flags. It just feels like a whole thing for no damn reason. At the end of the day the mod site owners or whatever get to decided what mods they allow, I can understand not also agreeing with their decisions, it just feels dumb when people complain because like, it’s their site.
My Biggest gripe is that I am not allowed to fly my ship into a star and instantly die. C'mon Todd it was gonna be funny, and it could have been even funnier if I flew all of the artifacts with me to get a joke ending My second biggest gripe is that I can’t sequence break and kill everyone in the Key
No joke, that's the kind of stuff ive always missed from bg (And im a huge fan) Just that silliness of testing the limits and seeing that they actually thought of it. I live for those moments in RDR2 for example. What would happen if I went off this Cliff or stoof in front of a train? Well yes I would die 😂
Even Everspace 2 does this, it has a similar location style of premade and procedural ones, but at least you can actually kill yourself by entering a planet's atmosphere at 30% the speed of light xD
I think it would bel hilarious to have the option to plummet headfirst into a star or gas giant with a 100% guarantee of death too Bethesda please add this
Then the internet was a mistake, because the first thing we started doing in the 80s was talking to eachother lol. And yet, sometimes I think the internet was a mistake, or at least the popularity of it isn't good. Back in the late 90s I remember people acting like I was a nerd for web surfing lol, but most companies didn't invest heavily in internet sites or infrastructure to run their business online, because most people weren't there, they were still in the stores. LiveJournal was the closest thing to current social media, but it was mostly just people who knew eachother irl that commented on eachothers posts in my experience, which made it better imo
The "controversy" around Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the ultimate example of woke. Wanting more black people in a game about historical medieval Czech is just peak American horseshit.
Or as Az correctly points out, peak modern day Californian horseshit. Same with games like TLOU2. Set in some of the reddest of red states, but there are pride flags around every corner and every man is a manbun wearing Hispanic californian metrosexual.
Yup I remember that during the development their tag line was "dungeons and no dragons" or something like that given their strong focus on realism. But now I'm just imagining "dungeons and no dragons but now with extra black people in mediaeval Bohemia" hmm.. for some reason not as catchy lmao
As a starfield player who intends to finish the game and think Sam Hyde has the best review I agree. Mid, fun for the repeatable quests for me but fully mid, absolutely dog water drinking intern redditor level writing.
@@spacecowboy1438 I mean, their dialog has always been a meme. I think what made FO4 irritating compared to other BGS titles, and made this game intolderable at times, is the way the game has gotten more realistic looking and the voice actors are better. Like, having such realistic graphics and decent actors have lines that are coded to be played at the most inoportune moments, ruining pacing, and rarely matching facial animations that are either pretty good in some cases, or god awful in others. Theres just a level of inconsistency that makes the game feel like it's all over the place. I am almost done and decided to do UC Vanguard as the last content I have to wrap up - and am blown away that they had this awesome idea for mech war and xenoweapons - even making the god damned meh models and worlds evestated by all out war.... But it all happened before the game started............... Instead we get a god damned scavenger hunt that acts as if it wasn't obvious what the starborn are, especially after people saying "NG+ is tied to story" which completely spelled it all out the second I saw the Emissary's ship.. I'm going to stop.... I still have more to play. I fucked up by playing Phantom Liberty first lol, but at least Isaved BG3 for when I'm done with Starfield
They did something like this is Mass Effect Andromeda. Whenever you drove near a cliff edge, your crew would freak out. It got really annoying, really fast
Yeah I think that's why some players are a little bummed out, is because Starfield doesn't let you find out the hard way... they just 🐔-block you with barriers instead of a death wall which would be just as easy to implement but infinitely much cooler.
I haven't even played Starfield, or Diablo 4, or Hogwarts Legacy, but the heated discourse surrounding all 3 of these games has provided me with more content and entertainment than the games themselves ever could have if I'd played them.
Entertainment ? You find this entertaining ? It's depressing is what it is. It's depressing that so many people are this petty and stupid. We all have to share this planet together and everyday it seems they just get more and more unhinged.
Yes, NASA trains astronauts in giant swimming pools. Also because it sort of emulates the feeling of weightlessness. So it's also not ridiculous to assume that with future (lighter weight) spacesuits, swimming would be entirely possible...
@@timpointer6664the thing is space suits tend to have some natural bouency. Similar to a submarine. Air is less dense then water and part of a space suit design is often to fill the suit with air surrounding the person inside. Its also why some car can "bounce" upward after crashing into water. And takes time to actually sink into the water, as the air leaves the entier of the car Its also why early deep sea divers needed weights to keep them on the sea floor Heck there's even an argument that the space suits in starfield actually make it harder to swim below the surface. Since they are effectively ultra light human shape balloons.
Something I wanted to add at the end but forgot is this isn't an excuse to not have under water swimming in game. Its a counter to anyone who says that it's unrealistic for a person in a space suit to float on the surface of the water. And all things considered I would had like to be able to explore underwater especially on those planets that had those opening to what seem to be underground ocean/lakes. But I can see why they didn't bother.
Bump. It wouldn't even be an issue if they just let the mod stay up, probably would have faded down the memory hole within a week. But nope, can't have gamers having illegal opinions on gender
thats pretty stupid, im not gonna lie. also pretty dumb to take the time to install a mod to remove such a miniscule feature that you don't even have to interact with.
If there was a mod to remove a type of skin color I think it would have been problematic too much like this might have been and this might just be seen in a similar way. Seriously just make your damn character and move on who cares. Mod the game or don't but this obsession with the culture war is so fucking stupid.
Asmongold is a good friend. He knows the blow back that act ma’am is going to receive for his hypocrisy and gas lighting will be huge. He made it even bigger when he twitted he was the self proclaimed defender of gaming calling out people who interject their agendas into games. Yet attacks people who are tired of leftist political propaganda being injected into everything coming out of California. It’s not just the pronouns, the whole game is full of immersive breaking bullshit that is only in it because people are injecting their agendas into the game. Everyone sees it and if you just role your eyes fine. But don’t attack and demonize people who are tired of it. After all if you don’t care if it’s there then you shouldn’t care if it’s not. I don’t really know if the act ma’am actually can’t see the agenda being pushed or he was so scared when he was demonetize that he will make sure to tow the line when he can. I believe it’s the latter. Honestly I can’t blame him for that. What I do blame him for is being a disingenuous hypocrite. But like he twitted, his still the same guy. Which means he has always been that way. I wonder if Asmongold will always agree to be in the follow up video when Act Ma’am exposes his hypocrisy again and it will happen again.

No Aquatic? After I've put 25 30 hours into the game there is no sense of exploration at all. No matter where I go I see roughly the same things with a bit of variation.

To be fair with the whole running around the circumference of the planet thing, in No Man's Sky, one of the most freeing things you can experience as a new player is to just fly a starship around a planet without ever hitting a wall and do crazy maneuvers with it. You get around really quickly while also looking for things to mine. You could do the same with ground vehicles too, and with the variance in terrain its actually pretty fun to just drive around with your truck and dig up stuff off the ground.
Starfield has an actual story, killing, space combat, joining factions and doing side missions for them. Does no man sky do that? Also, at no man's sky launch it was horrible
@@alexanderm3504Starfield is also pretty bad at launch. It's more or less fine if you own an Xbox and are ok with 30 fps, but it runs horribly on a lot of PCs.

Wait you’re telling me there was outrage over the “Mortally Challenged” line in Doom Eternal? Thats like one of the most memorable throwaway lines in the game 💀
Just a brief stint. It was completely forgotten when the game out. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just tiny number people that TH-camrs decided rage about them for clicks.
there was no actual outrage about it, just manufactured hate by “anti-woke” channels trying to push an agenda by pretending like the line was an anti left joke
@25:56 Your argument on TLJ is similar to the argument Az's was making in his second video. He saw things as woke writing and had a rant about it. I feel people are just refusing to gave him even a little bit of the benefit of the doubt.
keep in mind, what is "woke" is not a binary, you can show the same thing to 100 people and you probably won't get a consistent answer. **but the game do let me murder Gay people *1 gay couple invited me onto their ship without any different consequences so yah. if it were woke, it would have made them invulnerable like kids in game. just saying.
Besides, the character creation screen and an female NPC clone that will give you her backstory when asked what Az is throwing a fit over, and that's not as substantive to the game as Admiral Holdo was to the plot of The Last Jedi. No do I remember anyone literally screaming that loudly over Admiral Holdo. Miranda was a clone of a man in Mass Effect 2, a 2010 game, that doesn't make it woke writing or current day politics. I haven't even heard a politician mention cloning in the last 10 years.

Exactly. 10 years to make a space version of a game they already made. Meanwhile people REEEEE over Star Citizen being 10 years in production when they started from scratch and are aiming for more.
It would be hilarious if the devs put in a notice when you try to land on gas giants that says "Your ship will explode, do you wish to continue?" and then just give a game over screen if they select yes.
Entire 'gas giants' argument is a strawman. People complained about 10000 issues, but he found the only one he can 'defend'. The Act Shillman - Todd's adoring fangirl.
One of my biggest complaints comes via my 11 year old daughter who is a huge space nerd. Where the hell is the crater on Mimas? I asked her to pick any moon she would want to visit in our solar system and she picked Mimas so we could walk around the giant crater only to find that it wasn't there. Other than that and a glitch where registering a ship at a spacestation made the spacestation my ship somehow I've been having a great time
The most offensive thing in starfield is the file size I get the game is huge in size and scope, but frankly it isn’t a technological leap in terms of visuals and character animations compared to something like fallout 4 which is only 27 gigs and I’d argue starfield looks more like a remastered upscaled version of that game
It’s likely due to the textures and meshes because of how many different kinds of planets you can go to. Even if they are all similar, the different color schemes and biomes requires them to all be separate textures with slight variations.
27 gig with old textures. Add only the HD texture pack its more than double. Your complaint is totally out of touch with reality. 100gigs is actually not much for a game this size and 4k textures. In 2 years with mods and DLCs it goes easily over 200gigs. Memory is cheap what do you complain any way?
The landing on gas giant thing always reminded me of that scene in Futurama where the professor says their spaceship is only build to handle atmosphere pressure of 0 and 1
Nah dude Asmon actually makes a good point. If the message on the mug was about adding flavor to the game, making it reflect in game ideologies, shouldn't there be bad guys with fucked up messages as well? The fact that the devs didn't think of that means it was meant as platforming a message, not adding flavor to the game.
@@PocketDelicious The gun analogy is also wrong by faction and makes me wonder how far he even got into the game. The fact everyone has guns is a gameplay thing, not what the characters think. The big majority of the start of the game you are in UC space, which if you paid attention, are a group that focuses on protecting it's citizens with law and order then allowing the citizens to defend and own guns themselves. The Freestar collective is the only real comparison that holds water, but he treated it like everyone in the game is some gun loving nut.
Could Bethesda have gotten away with fucked up messages? I can't really come up with a fucked up message these days that I feel comfortable posting due to how seriously everyone takes things these days, let alone the censorship. Were i to try, others would either assume genuine messaging or otherwise hurl accusations or terrible insults such as edgelord, essentially hampering my ability to say some terrible stuff and forcing a more milquetoast version of a comical villain. Take a message and try to make it such that it becomes comically evil, and people will believe it genuine or "they must believe it deep down or they'd never be able to say it" kinda shit.

Funnily enough, dragon animations are in the game. Right in the mountain regions of Jemison, there's a small flying creature that literally uses the flying idle from Skyrim dragons.
Dude it's fallout 4 in space literally lol, people mad mainly Bethesda needs to update their engine, it keeps the game from being at its full potentially , they used the same engine for past 20 plus years 🥹
I want to believe that The Acting Male is making a “Is the Mass Effect trilogy a masterpiece?” video since he used the Galaxy Map soundtrack a couple of times
I'd say it mostly is a masterpiece, especially because it's three games in one for a nice price, especially if it's on sale, plus there were a lot of nice overhauls to it, and all DLC is free with it. I know the 3rd one is not as popular, but even then, it's still a mostly good remastered trilogy for a nice price.
@@cadendicky1855 Honestly with the dlcs included, I think the third one is my favourite because of how it made me feel about how the stakes were raised and the climax of the story. Also it made me care so much for the fates of all the companions which all made the trilogy feel like one great journey from start to finish.
I would love for bethesda to make an update for whenever a player tries to "land" on non habitable/dangerous bodies of space,they get a cutscene where they the ship just fall apart and die
@whitmanmalemanReal. I think it also stems from them trying to widen the market to people who aren't gamers. It used to be a niche to like video games but now it's cringe to even say "gamer" because everyone plays video games. A bad direction for the quality of the art in my opinion.
My hot take is that the majority of the game is the worst part of Fallout 4. You know the parts where you're running around in between places, and you find a house with some raiders? That's what a lot of Starfield feels like.
The main story arc presents no apocalyptic threat to be averted. There are minimal stakes in play, and those that exist threaten the main character as much as any other mortal danger.
I nearly refunded this game on the first day, I pushed beyond the first 6 hours, and man was it worth it. UC Questlines really sucked me in, already have plans for a potential 2nd and 3rd playthrough.
funny part about that comparison is that everyone called fallout 4 dogshit on release but somehow after 2 years look back with rose-tinted glasses oh the game is amazing why everyone complain, starfield is here and the cycle continues. 15-30 bucks in year or 2 when game is in discount bin with added dlc is probably when game is an 8 or 9.
Act man relies on fan bases. That don't have any testicles. That don't have any balls that don't have any real sustainable ability. This guy can't even tell if a game is great or not. This game is completely trashed. It is some of the worst garbage that has been pushed out 5 Bethesda since the last garbage they pushed out . But the game works it works at boring you to death
My only major issue was that there were like... no blond hair options in character creator. Like why. Especially when the hair styles are way better than previous bethesda games. Also the sliders should be labeled. Other than that and like 2 bugs the game is actually pretty good Did you recently watch pirates of the Caribbean cause you used a bunch of clips in it. Now I wanna watch them again.
I don't like the game because it is technically outdated. It plays like Fallout in space and i expected more. I played Fallout 3, New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I had my fill, so can Bethesda please try for more innovation in their rpg's. Every game they release feels like a re-skin of an alredy existing experience, an outdated experience. We have space game that is dragged to the ground because Bethesda can't bother to move up with modern industrie standarts. I'm happy for everybody that is enjoying Starfield, this just my opinion.

Kinda restrictive; as a furry, I would have liked the game to know my pronouns are zig/zag and let me play as a crippled giraffe. I mean, It’s 2023, let’s get things straight (or a little less if you catch my drift).
the entire argument against people criticizing things like the feminist mug gets a lot less justified when you ask them what would happen if you replaced the feminist mug with a scientology mug.

ALSO, the Act Man comes out of this looking like he DEFENDED woke trash being inserted into games because I find it hard to believe he didn't do any research on it. He just wanted to look like an "ally" or, at the very least, neutral.
The main complaint I have, and probably the reason most people won’t plau a second playthrough, is that the minority of quests are, fast travel here and talk to this person, and then fast travel here and talk to this person, and then fast travel here for the only fight you’ll have within an hour, and then some more fast travel to other people to talk too, not to mention with 2 or 3 points in persuasion you can beat every single quest in the game with ease
I can understand people complaining that it's a little threadbare in terms of curated content, but if what you want to do is fight, there's no shortage of opportunites.
i think that thats most bethesda games in skyrim people always just fast travel to the nearest place u can then walk which is kinda the same here u fast travel and then get out of ur ship and walk the rest of the way
@@colinreynolds01 What people want are meaningful interactions with interesting NPCs and combat to complement these. Vault 34 wasnt good because you got to kill 30+ ghouls but because the location had an interesting backstory and visual look, those ghouls were its former inhabitants AND the end reward was unique and powerful for the duration of the rest of the game from that point. Starfield doesnt have interesting locations, it doesnt have unique rewards that are useful for long periods of time, and the enemies you fight rarely are more than nameless people that happened to be at the location.
@@serathaevistille995no I didn’t, the big difference between starfield and new Vegas or any other Bethesda game is that in starfield there is nothing to run into during traveling, in the other games if an objective is close enough usually the player will walk and find stuff on the way that is fun, that’s just not an option in star field, not to mention new Vegas had fun quest design, not just bland conversations with loading screens in between
I like how he said, "able to travel at light speed," but you don't. You use your grav drive to bend space. You create a shortcut. They even say this game. Sam Coe daughters ask if you can travel at speed of light and none of that grav drive cheating.
Naw see that would require these soyboi's to actually play the game for more than ten minutes to get past the pronoun selector. And I say ten minutes because that's on average how long it takes to get to character creation.
"Woke" isn't just "contrived", it means valuing group identity over individual rights, merit, and aptitude for a given task. For ex Holdo represented a girl-boss trope, and existed in the narrative (barely) just to deconstruct the male protagonists. In this case, the woke element is a type of feminism. I think you're jumping to "contrived" because you're assuming these woke elements exist in a narrative setting like Starfield or The Last Jedi, and they don't, necessarily. In recent memory, what we refer to as woke is characterized by a political movement that tries to gather members of disparate protected classes to its cause, usually by framing enlistees in a Marxist-style class struggle between oppressed and oppressor. Your New Vegas example, the fascist wanna-be, was also contrived, but wasn't particularly woke.
But where do you get that from though? I'd say, at its core, 'woke' is just about social awareness. But the term is a political instrument coined by politicians, not just a word. I don't think anyone who is leftist would call themselves or their ideas 'woke' as if it is a neutral word.
Ngl I woulda liked an option to fly to the sun or a gas giant only for my spaceship to be completely obliterated. Woulda been more interesting than some parts of this game.
@@AxleTradewhat’s your point here,Elon musk is banning people for whatever political opinion they hold?lol Also using the word snowflakes” unironically acting as if your side was always fond with gaming and e-media industry.
My one problem with starfield is the whole traveling in space thing. I wish you could land on planets (not in a cutscene) and fly around and explore in your ship. I also think it would be more immersive if in order to travel at all you didn't have to open the main menu
Yeah the exploration part feels like a cutscene simulator and the main selling point the exploration Edit: just to clarify iam not saying seamless travel is bad but you dont even have an option to travel 😔
Definitely, it's disappointing because I was expecting Elite dangerous style of flying around, with full control. But hey, space legs on consoles at least!
The game was never intended to be star citizen, plus for a game this big such seamless transitions aren't that feasible, due to technical limitations. Honestly I'm fine with that. I don't want to spend 2 hours trying to reach a planet's surface after jumping in.
I went to my local GameStop to get Starfield and immediately returned it because the game wouldn’t let me fly head on into the Sun, I’ve never felt so cheated in my life
@@sword_racer185one of the most polished ? Thats a complete lie and i dont care for old Bethesda comparisons im 18 i couldn’t careless. Not everyone played the old games
Well its not just about Bethesda. It's about the state of large role playing games in general. For example Baldur's Gate 3 was launched with a plethora of major bugs (including a few game breaking ones) in Act 2/3 and was only fixed after launch. And then there were Bethesda's previous titles and Cyberpunk as well. In this kind of context releasing a game the size of Starfield with as few bugs as it had looks reasonably impressive.
I mean they could have the cities arm a “shield” that protects them from the elements. Like say you land on a hot planet, the city is fine but you step “out of bounds” you start taking hella damage and get a extreme temp alert. Same with cold, same with stormy planets, I think that would be a neater way then letting the player walk for 8 to 10 minutes only to find out there’s a invincible wall. Imagine walking up to this slightly transparent wall and thinking “TF is this?”, looking past it, then seeing like powerful winds and rain blowing shit around, intense mirages from the heat cause the planet doesn’t have a strong atmosphere, or just straight up frozen trees and rocks.
Act man seen all the good reviews and thought that the popular opinion would be to praise the game. As people began to see how shallow the game is, he soon realized that was a mistake.
@@wyattgeorge9696 he made this video during his playthrough of the game though. He liked it then and still likes it a bit, but now says it's a disappointment from Bethesda and could have been much better. The takes he talked about here weren't about actual criticisms about the game like th terrible map screen, bad UI design, horrible AI, bad texture work, loading screens, bad enemy designs, bad bounty system etc. Instead he talked about the idiotic takes people were having like 'you should be able to land on gas giants" and the pronouns rant (which honesty made him look like an idiot).
@@Ishaan_A apparently, you haven't watched the "pronoun" video. It's a shame that people only focused on that pronoun part and not the rest of the video which includes a lot of valid criticism about the game .
The funny part of the Alanah Pearce clip is that, in her response to "she should be fired for covering Starfield while being a Sony employee" she basically stated that the "Console War" doesn't exist inside the industry. She said that game dev spots in companies are so limited that people will go for them regardless of who its for or where they come from, and that, while working for Sony, she has a lot of coworkers who came from Microsoft or Nintendo, and none of them care about the "Console War" and they find it weird that so many fans have such a tribalism "us vs them" mentality that they do
Maybe they don't perceive or realize it but it definitely exists. Less so now but that's only because they each stopped making every other game a console exclusive. Which is what fueled most of the fan tribalism in the first place.
It only exists cause of the weirdo fans. That's the point. But I agree, exclusives were a mistake and now we're seeing them slowly ruin gaming.@@Ki_Adi_Mundi

Why isn't this the best liked comment? :p
The only thing I wish they added was the ability to "land" on/in these gas giants, sun's, black holes; but it's just a cutscene of your ship exploding 😂
Well you cant do that cause a gas giant is a big ball of fire and a black hole is a black hole
@@Tritonofclansakaia black man’s hole
that's exactly what i was thinking lmaoo
@Tritonofclansakai did you not get the joke? Or why I used quotation marks? 😅🤭
@@Tritonofclansakai it's a big ball of gas.
I think you should be able to approach a star, black hole, or gas giant and be realistically annihilated. It would be a lot funnier to see the tweet of a man who doesn't understand why his ship was turned into a singularity vs someone complaining that they can't approach the celestial body in the first place.
In Ultima 2 (very old game now!), you could fly your ship into the sun if you entered its coordinates. It was game over if you did!
For the gas giant I'd say a good thing to show would be the sound of a can being crushed on a black screen, the black hole would just be a black screen, and a little animation from far-off where your ship is just a tiny speck just a bug zappering itself into the sun would be funny
Lol I miss when games let your stupidity impulses straight up kill you. So fun
Hope mods do that
Just another one of so many things I'm sure they left to the modding community. I hope the modders get half the revenue of Starfield at this point.
You refunded Starfield for pronouns. I refunded Starfield because its boring. We are not the same
I refunded starfield because it didn't even work out the box for me,
They refunded it for pronouns. You refunded it because it’s boring. I refunded it because it’s bad. We are not the same

I didn't even buy it. We are not the same.

You gotta admit though it would be hilarious to watch your ship disintergrate as it enters a gas giant's upper atmosphere
Or flopping around in a public fountain while wearing a space suit until you explore a wild planet and you just drown in a lake looking for loot.
which is exactly why you should be able to do it
Wow that actually would have been so good haha. Another missed opportunity. it’s such a small component of the game (letting the player control the ship and other vehicles) but it takes away so much from the over all experience. smh
That actually woudlnt happen, the gravity at the surface of a gas giant is not that high
its better to write it as a point to push his dumass woke agenda then to see and say the obvious, litrly everyone says you shuld be able to enter a planet even if it kills you.
the ONLY immersion breaking realism flaw that i legit hate, is getting lung damage from breathing toxic gas.... WHILE WEARING A SPACE SUIT!!!
From what I gather it depends on your suit and whether it's corrosive or not, hence why if you stand for too long your suits integrity goes off
Well an N95 mask won't protect you from everything. The same way a space suit won't protect you from everything.
@@jcarirthe primary function of a space suit is being airtight. If it allows gasses to get inside the suit then its by definition not air tight. My issue was not that it doesnt protect against everything, but fails at the primary function it suppose to have.
Well there’s gotta be some liberties taken.
I mean heck in Fallout 4 you could jump from the top of a skyscraper in power armor and you’d be fine or how FromSoft protagonist’s can carry hundreds of weapons and clothing pieces and only get encumbered when they equip them
@@____Carnage____those are all compromises where the game is less realistic to be less annoying.
This is case where the game is less realistic to be more annoying. It's not a compromise, it's a negative from every angle.
Spoilers, but there is a quest where you fly into the outer atmosphere of a gas giant in Starfield. But part of the quest is assembling a special shield upgrade to not get melted by the EM emissions of the gas giant and even then you take constant damage the entire time you're in there.
ah dammit! Delgado you pulled it off!
@@PaddyLonglegsTechnically it's more that Delgado knew people who knew people who could help prep a ship for _us_ to pull it off.

Pretty sure you could use power armor when swimming in Fo4, you'd just be stuck at the bottom. Apparently bethesda was capable.
It's not a full suit just one that floats abit in water so they train their muscles and muscle memory.
The coast guard brought some of these to my school during a recruitment day once they felt super weird like trying to swim with pool noodles under your arms.
@@ArrKayCeepower armor underwater was genuinely pretty neat
Yeah, and they clearly can't swim in them. They don't even really... float in them.

Ironically enough to everyone complaining that you can’t go into gas giants, there actually is a part of the pirate questline where you do get to go into a gas giant for a short period and it practically melts through your ship for the few seconds you fly through it.
Wouldn't the gravity just crush your ship like a tin can
@@AQS521 Pressure, pressure crushes the ship like tin can in gas giant atmosphere. In this hypothetical case I assume the shields are thing holding for a bit.
@AQS521 well it depends, gravity on Jupiter for example is only really about 2.5 times that of earth. The danger comes from heat and weight of the gas above you if you go deep into the planet.
bugger, im in the middle of that questline, thanks for the spoilers mate.
Well you can go to a gas giant and land near it, but it requires a completion of a quest line that is great 👍

Bugs included

For the "mass effect gas giant thing", yes you can go to a gas giant in the game. Its the shadow broker DLC. You are on a space ship though for the entire mission. :D
Yeah, but it's all in a space station in the upper atmosphere of a gas giant, and even then the only reason the station can survive is because of the forcefield that Mass Effect fields can create.
@@alexlyster3459 I am being charatable to the people posting about the gas giant stuff. I think they just want floating stations just like in star wars.
Except Hagalaz wasn't a gas giant, just an unstable planet
Hagalaz (the planet the Shadow Broker's ship is on) isn't a gas giant. It's a rock planet whose surface is split between freezing cold and burning heat. Where the two seasons meet a constant mega-storm rages.
If you want an actual gas giant that you visit in Mass Effect (also in ME2) then look no further than the brown dwarf that contains the derelict Reaper.
Warframe has alot of missions on the gas giants
Idk man starfield is just boring imo
He does. In hs year-in-review video (do not remember the name), he gives Starfield the "Most Disappointing Game Award", precisely because its boring
On the whole it isn't a big deal thing. Even as someone who doesn't really care about the pronoun debacle, I did find it alarming that mod sites like Nexus mods are actively taking down mods that remove pronoun selection all together, I mean Act Man was even community noted about this on Twitter.
Why would you need that though? When you pick the male or female body, it automatically picks the set of pronouns that your body type is typically assigned to.
You don’t have to touch that. It does it for you.
exactly, even if there might be bigoted modders it just shows an obvious bias and lack of spine when it comes to nexusmods,
"if they arent a big deal, then shouldnt be a big deal to mod them out amirite?"
"no dont do it youre banned you pos, ignore our lolita mods we allow on skyrim page btw thx come again"
@@fireheart8878 Yeah, I know. I actually play the game... Like I said I just found it alarming in general that mods were being taken down and people were being banned, just for actually putting those kinds of mods up in the first place. Since I'm a firm believer that no one, "no one" should be policing what mods you install and enjoy in a single player game.
@@diogo5963 Basically this, I get judging people for what mods they have installed since people are human but outright banning people and taking down mods just cause you don't agree with them is where I draw the line.
@@DBaronVonV yeah I can understand that. To be fair, I was also kinda surprised when the same thing was happening during the Spider-Man drama, when they took down mods removing the gay flags.
It just feels like a whole thing for no damn reason.
At the end of the day the mod site owners or whatever get to decided what mods they allow, I can understand not also agreeing with their decisions, it just feels dumb when people complain because like, it’s their site.
My Biggest gripe is that I am not allowed to fly my ship into a star and instantly die. C'mon Todd it was gonna be funny, and it could have been even funnier if I flew all of the artifacts with me to get a joke ending
My second biggest gripe is that I can’t sequence break and kill everyone in the Key
No joke, that's the kind of stuff ive always missed from bg (And im a huge fan)
Just that silliness of testing the limits and seeing that they actually thought of it.
I live for those moments in RDR2 for example. What would happen if I went off this Cliff or stoof in front of a train? Well yes I would die 😂
Even Everspace 2 does this, it has a similar location style of premade and procedural ones, but at least you can actually kill yourself by entering a planet's atmosphere at 30% the speed of light xD
BG3: I wonder if I can 😮😮☺
SF: I wonder if I can 😪🙄🥱

Then the internet was a mistake, because the first thing we started doing in the 80s was talking to eachother lol. And yet, sometimes I think the internet was a mistake, or at least the popularity of it isn't good. Back in the late 90s I remember people acting like I was a nerd for web surfing lol, but most companies didn't invest heavily in internet sites or infrastructure to run their business online, because most people weren't there, they were still in the stores. LiveJournal was the closest thing to current social media, but it was mostly just people who knew eachother irl that commented on eachothers posts in my experience, which made it better imo

The "controversy" around Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the ultimate example of woke. Wanting more black people in a game about historical medieval Czech is just peak American horseshit.
((((American)))) horseshit
Or as Az correctly points out, peak modern day Californian horseshit.
Same with games like TLOU2. Set in some of the reddest of red states, but there are pride flags around every corner and every man is a manbun wearing Hispanic californian metrosexual.
Act man is absolutely seething that you cant make the main character trans, black, indigenous, handicapable, and neurodivergent. Racist game devs!
Yup I remember that during the development their tag line was "dungeons and no dragons" or something like that given their strong focus on realism. But now I'm just imagining "dungeons and no dragons but now with extra black people in mediaeval Bohemia" hmm.. for some reason not as catchy lmao

@@spacecowboy1438Sam Hyde the nazi ?
@@spacecowboy1438 I mean, their dialog has always been a meme. I think what made FO4 irritating compared to other BGS titles, and made this game intolderable at times, is the way the game has gotten more realistic looking and the voice actors are better. Like, having such realistic graphics and decent actors have lines that are coded to be played at the most inoportune moments, ruining pacing, and rarely matching facial animations that are either pretty good in some cases, or god awful in others. Theres just a level of inconsistency that makes the game feel like it's all over the place. I am almost done and decided to do UC Vanguard as the last content I have to wrap up - and am blown away that they had this awesome idea for mech war and xenoweapons - even making the god damned meh models and worlds evestated by all out war....

Instead we get a god damned scavenger hunt that acts as if it wasn't obvious what the starborn are, especially after people saying "NG+ is tied to story" which completely spelled it all out the second I saw the Emissary's ship..

Or like a warning 'YOU WILL DIE' haha
i think it would be great to seamlesly land and take off from planets.. like in No Mans Sky or Star Citizen
I've landed on Venus, what a few harsh wind can do copium
Honestly they should let you fly into a gas giant just so you can hear the people on the ship panic as you fly into the planet
Barret screaming from the back "ARE YOU MAD?!?!?!"
They did something like this is Mass Effect Andromeda. Whenever you drove near a cliff edge, your crew would freak out. It got really annoying, really fast
Im fairly certain someone will make a mod for that.
Yeah I think that's why some players are a little bummed out, is because Starfield doesn't let you find out the hard way... they just 🐔-block you with barriers instead of a death wall which would be just as easy to implement but infinitely much cooler.
Kryx's Legacy sends you into a gas giant to board a lost Galbank transporter and download the credits.
I haven't even played Starfield, or Diablo 4, or Hogwarts Legacy, but the heated discourse surrounding all 3 of these games has provided me with more content and entertainment than the games themselves ever could have if I'd played them.
Lol, I enjoy this stuff also
Entertainment ? You find this entertaining ?
It's depressing is what it is. It's depressing that so many people are this petty and stupid. We all have to share this planet together and everyday it seems they just get more and more unhinged.

I think someone should make an apology video 🫠. Don't pretend that this shit is new either, this has been going on since before covid.
Isn't that exactly how they test to see if spacesuits are working? By putting them in water?
Yes, NASA trains astronauts in giant swimming pools. Also because it sort of emulates the feeling of weightlessness. So it's also not ridiculous to assume that with future (lighter weight) spacesuits, swimming would be entirely possible...
Not to mention it would make sense to design the spacesuits with buoyancy as a feature on the off chance you did fall in water deep enough to swim in
@@timpointer6664the thing is space suits tend to have some natural bouency. Similar to a submarine. Air is less dense then water and part of a space suit design is often to fill the suit with air surrounding the person inside.
Its also why some car can "bounce" upward after crashing into water. And takes time to actually sink into the water, as the air leaves the entier of the car
Its also why early deep sea divers needed weights to keep them on the sea floor
Heck there's even an argument that the space suits in starfield actually make it harder to swim below the surface. Since they are effectively ultra light human shape balloons.
Something I wanted to add at the end but forgot is this isn't an excuse to not have under water swimming in game. Its a counter to anyone who says that it's unrealistic for a person in a space suit to float on the surface of the water.
And all things considered I would had like to be able to explore underwater especially on those planets that had those opening to what seem to be underground ocean/lakes.
But I can see why they didn't bother.

To be fair with the whole running around the circumference of the planet thing, in No Man's Sky, one of the most freeing things you can experience as a new player is to just fly a starship around a planet without ever hitting a wall and do crazy maneuvers with it. You get around really quickly while also looking for things to mine. You could do the same with ground vehicles too, and with the variance in terrain its actually pretty fun to just drive around with your truck and dig up stuff off the ground.

Who knew the hottest take would be "Starfield is polished"
The most offensive thing in starfield is the file size
I get the game is huge in size and scope, but frankly it isn’t a technological leap in terms of visuals and character animations compared to something like fallout 4 which is only 27 gigs and I’d argue starfield looks more like a remastered upscaled version of that game
Every time I go to a planet with basically nothing there I get reminded why the game is 101 gigs lmao
It’s likely due to the textures and meshes because of how many different kinds of planets you can go to. Even if they are all similar, the different color schemes and biomes requires them to all be separate textures with slight variations.
Tell that to Shadow of War
27 gig with old textures. Add only the HD texture pack its more than double. Your complaint is totally out of touch with reality. 100gigs is actually not much for a game this size and 4k textures. In 2 years with mods and DLCs it goes easily over 200gigs.
Memory is cheap what do you complain any way?
My brother in christ. No Man Sky (which has billions of planets) is 14GB on download.
The landing on gas giant thing always reminded me of that scene in Futurama where the professor says their spaceship is only build to handle atmosphere pressure of 0 and 1
Nah dude Asmon actually makes a good point. If the message on the mug was about adding flavor to the game, making it reflect in game ideologies, shouldn't there be bad guys with fucked up messages as well? The fact that the devs didn't think of that means it was meant as platforming a message, not adding flavor to the game.
Exactly. His gun analogy is a giant stretch to make himself seem correct.
@@PocketDelicious The gun analogy is also wrong by faction and makes me wonder how far he even got into the game. The fact everyone has guns is a gameplay thing, not what the characters think. The big majority of the start of the game you are in UC space, which if you paid attention, are a group that focuses on protecting it's citizens with law and order then allowing the citizens to defend and own guns themselves. The Freestar collective is the only real comparison that holds water, but he treated it like everyone in the game is some gun loving nut.
Good point
@@PocketDelicious Yep, it literally has zero relevance in this context, he really should’ve thought of something better
Could Bethesda have gotten away with fucked up messages?
I can't really come up with a fucked up message these days that I feel comfortable posting due to how seriously everyone takes things these days, let alone the censorship. Were i to try, others would either assume genuine messaging or otherwise hurl accusations or terrible insults such as edgelord, essentially hampering my ability to say some terrible stuff and forcing a more milquetoast version of a comical villain.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. I just couldn't get into the game, there's no hook for me like there is in previous bethesda games.
The main story arc presents no apocalyptic threat to be averted.
There are minimal stakes in play, and those that exist threaten the main character as much as any other mortal danger.

My only major issue was that there were like... no blond hair options in character creator. Like why. Especially when the hair styles are way better than previous bethesda games. Also the sliders should be labeled. Other than that and like 2 bugs the game is actually pretty good

Because Aryans probably
blond hair blue eyes, that's why no blonds
Are you talking about blonde and not yellow? Because yeah it is pretty yellow. Labels or palettes would be a huge improvement over just sliders.
I found it really hard to get the right nose shape, despite all the options, because all the sliders are poorly named and laggy
I don't like the game because it is technically outdated. It plays like Fallout in space and i expected more. I played Fallout 3, New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I had my fill, so can Bethesda please try for more innovation in their rpg's. Every game they release feels like a re-skin of an alredy existing experience, an outdated experience. We have space game that is dragged to the ground because Bethesda can't bother to move up with modern industrie standarts. I'm happy for everybody that is enjoying Starfield, this just my opinion.

The main complaint I have, and probably the reason most people won’t plau a second playthrough, is that the minority of quests are, fast travel here and talk to this person, and then fast travel here and talk to this person, and then fast travel here for the only fight you’ll have within an hour, and then some more fast travel to other people to talk too, not to mention with 2 or 3 points in persuasion you can beat every single quest in the game with ease
I can understand people complaining that it's a little threadbare in terms of curated content, but if what you want to do is fight, there's no shortage of opportunites.
i think that thats most bethesda games in skyrim people always just fast travel to the nearest place u can then walk which is kinda the same here u fast travel and then get out of ur ship and walk the rest of the way

Vault 34 wasnt good because you got to kill 30+ ghouls but because the location had an interesting backstory and visual look, those ghouls were its former inhabitants AND the end reward was unique and powerful for the duration of the rest of the game from that point.
Starfield doesnt have interesting locations, it doesnt have unique rewards that are useful for long periods of time, and the enemies you fight rarely are more than nameless people that happened to be at the location.
@@serathaevistille995no I didn’t, the big difference between starfield and new Vegas or any other Bethesda game is that in starfield there is nothing to run into during traveling, in the other games if an objective is close enough usually the player will walk and find stuff on the way that is fun, that’s just not an option in star field, not to mention new Vegas had fun quest design, not just bland conversations with loading screens in between

"Woke" isn't just "contrived", it means valuing group identity over individual rights, merit, and aptitude for a given task. For ex Holdo represented a girl-boss trope, and existed in the narrative (barely) just to deconstruct the male protagonists. In this case, the woke element is a type of feminism. I think you're jumping to "contrived" because you're assuming these woke elements exist in a narrative setting like Starfield or The Last Jedi, and they don't, necessarily. In recent memory, what we refer to as woke is characterized by a political movement that tries to gather members of disparate protected classes to its cause, usually by framing enlistees in a Marxist-style class struggle between oppressed and oppressor. Your New Vegas example, the fascist wanna-be, was also contrived, but wasn't particularly woke.
But where do you get that from though? I'd say, at its core, 'woke' is just about social awareness. But the term is a political instrument coined by politicians, not just a word. I don't think anyone who is leftist would call themselves or their ideas 'woke' as if it is a neutral word.
Ngl I woulda liked an option to fly to the sun or a gas giant only for my spaceship to be completely obliterated. Woulda been more interesting than some parts of this game.

Yeah the exploration part feels like a cutscene simulator and the main selling point the exploration
Edit: just to clarify iam not saying seamless travel is bad but you dont even have an option to travel 😔
Definitely, it's disappointing because I was expecting Elite dangerous style of flying around, with full control. But hey, space legs on consoles at least!
The game was never intended to be star citizen, plus for a game this big such seamless transitions aren't that feasible, due to technical limitations. Honestly I'm fine with that. I don't want to spend 2 hours trying to reach a planet's surface after jumping in.

Well its not just about Bethesda. It's about the state of large role playing games in general. For example Baldur's Gate 3 was launched with a plethora of major bugs (including a few game breaking ones) in Act 2/3 and was only fixed after launch. And then there were Bethesda's previous titles and Cyberpunk as well. In this kind of context releasing a game the size of Starfield with as few bugs as it had looks reasonably impressive.

Hot takes aside, you'd think for an immersive fantasy game they'd make natural barriers instead of invisible walls.
I feel like the idea there was to create a natural horizon for the map, rather than a physical box around the player like your own zoo enclosure
Unless you are specifically looking for them you will never hit an invisible wall in this game anyway
Lmao what, yeah bro it would be so much more immersive if you were constantly surrounded by square 100 metre high walls /s
Hard to make a natural barrier when you have a space ship and a jet pack.
I mean they could have the cities arm a “shield” that protects them from the elements. Like say you land on a hot planet, the city is fine but you step “out of bounds” you start taking hella damage and get a extreme temp alert. Same with cold, same with stormy planets, I think that would be a neater way then letting the player walk for 8 to 10 minutes only to find out there’s a invincible wall.
Imagine walking up to this slightly transparent wall and thinking “TF is this?”, looking past it, then seeing like powerful winds and rain blowing shit around, intense mirages from the heat cause the planet doesn’t have a strong atmosphere, or just straight up frozen trees and rocks.

Act man seen all the good reviews and thought that the popular opinion would be to praise the game. As people began to see how shallow the game is, he soon realized that was a mistake.
@@wyattgeorge9696 he made this video during his playthrough of the game though. He liked it then and still likes it a bit, but now says it's a disappointment from Bethesda and could have been much better. The takes he talked about here weren't about actual criticisms about the game like th terrible map screen, bad UI design, horrible AI, bad texture work, loading screens, bad enemy designs, bad bounty system etc. Instead he talked about the idiotic takes people were having like 'you should be able to land on gas giants" and the pronouns rant (which honesty made him look like an idiot).
@@Ishaan_A apparently, you haven't watched the "pronoun" video. It's a shame that people only focused on that pronoun part and not the rest of the video which includes a lot of valid criticism about the game .
Nah not really
@@benedictjajo short video...which half of it was spent just insulting the devs, is that meant to make AZ look better?
The Asmon cameo was pure Gold! 😂
Yes!! 😅
Yeah, if Vaush is your fellow traveler then you're definitely in the wrong. Keep seething boy.
that entire voice over of gibbs and the crew going to tia dalma was gold man
Makes me wanna watch the films again
I gave starfield a fair chance… but goddamn I did not have fun. Played lies of P instead
The internet was a mistake.
I hope they make a mod that allows you to "land" on one of these planets and your ship just explodes forcing you to reload a previous save.
make it better. because you have been so dumb it's a hardcore death and you cant reload!
They should make it auto save once you load in then get destroyed, so it then reloads on a loop.
The funny part of the Alanah Pearce clip is that, in her response to "she should be fired for covering Starfield while being a Sony employee" she basically stated that the "Console War" doesn't exist inside the industry. She said that game dev spots in companies are so limited that people will go for them regardless of who its for or where they come from, and that, while working for Sony, she has a lot of coworkers who came from Microsoft or Nintendo, and none of them care about the "Console War" and they find it weird that so many fans have such a tribalism "us vs them" mentality that they do
Maybe they don't perceive or realize it but it definitely exists. Less so now but that's only because they each stopped making every other game a console exclusive. Which is what fueled most of the fan tribalism in the first place.
It only exists cause of the weirdo fans. That's the point. But I agree, exclusives were a mistake and now we're seeing them slowly ruin gaming.@@Ki_Adi_Mundi
