The worst part is they made a world that was already explored, it all feels like we were late to the party. Every planet is littered with factory’s and outposts, you are never more than a few hundred meters from a structure. The whole colonial war already happened and you just get to hear about all the cool interesting events that already occurred. No matter how far you go there are always humans waiting for you there.
Haha yeah. The wrote an entire universe and put the players in the most boring uneventful time. Hell we didn't even get to experience mechs, we just hear about em. Radical writing.
Those are basically the exact words I said when ranting about this game. Everything remotely interesting about this universe has already happened. It's extremely bizarre too with how much this game romanticizes the act of exploring. It's also completely ridiculous what they did with Earth. I understand they can't make an explorable future Earth, but they could at least do something more interesting than making it an uninhabitable sandy desert because of space artifact magic. If they had the balls to completely destroy Earth it would've made for a more gritty and interesting universe.
Somehow, the relentless haters started with, “The worlds are completely empty!! I hate it!” and have now arrived at, “There’s stuff everywhere!! I hate it!” If you like the game, you like it. If you love the game, you love it. If you hate the game, you hate it. Leave it at that. If playing the game isn’t worth your time, then making countless hours of content about it isn’t either. … unless you know it’s a well-loved game and you’re using Bethesda’s success to boost your interactions.
@@ShepGibsonthey are somehow empty and full of things at the same time, and those things look the same on every planet, literally copy pasted, so they make the planets look even more gamey and empty
"without the charm of a decade's worth of writing and world-building to stand on, Bethesda's incompetence shines brighter than ANYTHING in the galaxy" 💯🔥🔥🔥
@@Turbulentdesk3967honestly man its sooo good. open and free to do as you please. they turned it into a masterpiece, all free updates and non much microtransactions is the cherry on top
Ok why do i want to buy a non rpg for a rpg experience nms is just aimless wandering nothing else no fun in that no main quest no end goal no enjoyment value so why is it better if it lacks all that to me?
@@changsiah2how did you make the leap to ad hominen “hater? The game design IS bad. I don’t hate it, I resent the way it was marketed as compared to what has been delivered. Does putting a poorly fitted label on people with differing opinions benefit you in some way?
@@_indrid_cold_ you said that the exact same thing probably to cyberpunk when it first came out and you're kind on weird hate train I'm going to say The Gaming Community is nowadays doing nothing by criticizing aside from some exceptions, indie games superiority and complaining about gaming prices Bethesda isn't evil or greedy you f****** hater also please don't force shutdown Bethesda or something like that I don't want to be reminded of to remind myself of volition shut down ( I hope we get it I hope Saints Row does come back or a successor) so piss off
@@AerynWalk Feelings mutuals, but Outer Worlds was at least more provocative, weapon’s didn’t all shoot or sound the same, more vibrant color palette, weapons actually had character and each planet felt distinct.
@@robbyrockets1 Hardly, for the points I listed earlier, there’s actual gore and weapons with actual visual quirks, not just lame pea shooters that Starfield has.
I agree completely! It's like everyone else ignores completely the points which are made in the video. Outer Worlds is not the best of games, but definitely entertaining and has something to play with, than Starfield.
20 years ago Bethesda released a game that let you kill anyone and everyone then simply popped up a text box telling you there's not going to be a proper ending before letting you continue on. That was better quest making than what they have today.
Spot on! Starfield is so fundamentally flawed on so many levels. It's plagued with bad game design decisions, half baked systems, bland & uninspired writing and outdated quest design. It ain't "Skyrim in Space", nor is it "Fallout in Space" Starfield is a downgraded, mediocre and soulless mixture of Skyrim & Fallout 4, without the free world exploration and the charm of either. It's a regression from Bethesdas previous titles in all aspects and the saddest part is that it took them 8 years to create a soulless piece of mediocrity with unparalleled boredom.
Whats even worse is that they had ALL the creative freedom to write whatever the hell they want, there is no established lore that restricts them from going crazy. And yet they went for the most banal unimaginitive take on sci-fi.
@@SerjuhThey stated in the direct that they wanted to make a earthly and lofi setting. I just finished the main story 2 days ago and have 85 hours played, I'd say they went for a pretty realistic setting which I like.
@@Serjuh Indeed, Starfield exposed how creatively bankrupt BGS is. Like you said without decades worth of established lore and world building, Bethesda is lost. While the setting itself ain't very interesting to begin with, it would still be much better if they set the game during the colony war. Instead of collecting artifacts and becoming space dragonborn, you could decide with which faction you want to side, find a solution to unite the factions, side with the corps to sabotage the war or choose to be a renegade who conquers the settlements. Such a wasted opportunity!
@@mattiaskollnitz9794 Ah yeah the classic "it's realistic" argument. Space magic is indeed very realistic... Shooting 100 rounds into a bulletsponge wearing a spacesuit is very realistic as well, just like throwing a grenade inside a space ship without damaging the hull, or not being able to shoot through glass, all very realistic...
Their version of space is done by a developer in an hour. Just a glorified PNG called a planet where you a and a couple of things spawn in. Be it a space fight or a space station. But you are just still in a tiny box with a star background. And even if you see the other planet in the distance. There is no point in going there by actual travel. It would take a long time to get to another planet/moon texture and you would still have to go in the menu and click on it to travel to the planet itself. So you wasted half an hour to turn in a side quest. Space exploration is just an illusion in that game. Even if the game can be fun. The advertisement for it was a lie to appease to the masses.
@@Serjuh it isn't because of that, it's because they value things differently (not at all the same thing); I care A LOT about simulation, most people care more for eye candy and "flavor", which is why (for example) no city builder ever really satisfies me, because I care about the simulation; and why FPS are boring to me (even the most famous ones), because I don't really care about frames per second, grpahics and other stuff. I find it hard to understand, but Starfield is EXACTLY what a lot of people wanted... PS: the funny thing is that you are very clearly one of those bethesda fanboys, the way you talk about skyrim and fallout (those were already extremely dumbed down adventure games NOT RPG's)
@@larrote6467 I mean, it's mostly semantics. In your terms, you could say that some people don't place as much value in "high standards". Otherwise I'm not sure what I would say Starfield players are valuing differently... except maybe that familiar old Bethesda feeling. It doesn't have really high standards in any particular aspect... it's just kinda okay at everything it's doing. But it feels like a BGS game in a new setting with a couple new gimmicks, and that's exactly what a lot of people wanted like you said. As a bonus, it's the "most polished BGS release ever" and wasn't a train wreck at launch!
The way they fight sucks. The AI does the right things to a point. Fix and flank kinda sort of happens. But not with the kind of rapidity that makes any fight urgent. I’ve never had one target a gas tank in purpose…if they did that one thing alone, this would play like a very different game. And yes, aside from the Va’Ruun weapons being a bit different, you fight them all the same way. It’s annoying. What those toons actually do matters more though, and we’ve reached a point in gaming where it’s something we can expect. Imagine fighting realizing your fighting ecliptic and puckering up because these guys put down a determined defense…mines covered by fire. Mortars if you stay in one place for too long. Tanks they blow up when they get near them, etc. or fearing UC because you know they’ll have heavy weapons and mechs (that ban is lame)(where are the machine gun turrets?). Or maybe you gotta worry about freestar because they’re using armored Ashta or something. And there should be the pucker factor of reinforcement for all factions. Like take too long to clear a place and the big boyz drop in. Like a mech boss, or terrormorph boss. Or say like chemical weapons or tac nuke (big boy) unit showing up. All this stuff gives the fighting a sense of place that the outfits help with as well.
@@Mantelar That would help,but just making them more distuiguishable, in fallout different humans fought similarly but you could tell a ranger from a bandit, from a brotherhood of steel as their armour and equipment all look different and might have different enough guns.
@@bacorable god kills a kitten every time you shoot a pirate legend in the head. But yeah, some spacer quests could be interesting. They are a diverse lot and may be the most interesting faction of all. Ship breaks down and you’re marooned without supplies? Spacer. Criminals on the run. Spacer. Parents children are killed and they decide to break bad? Spacer. Grandparents were sick of the government and moved out to a utopian commune that fell apart? Spacer.
I literally lol'd at the first Terrormorph encounter because they hyped it up so much and had a whole quest to trap and kill the Terrormorph and kept talking about how dangerous it was, but I decided to just shoot it and it died extremely easily on very hard difficulty. Was straight up embarrassing compared to Deathclaws in New Vegas or even dragons in Skyrim
Spot on analysis unfortunately. I have no faith that ES6 will be good anymore after dumping significant time into this game and seeing for myself all the flaws you pointed out. Sad
Its crazy how each game they release is more castrated than its predecessor... Usually studios try something new or try to innovate, but Bethesda makes each game such a safe bet that finding charm in them is a challenge of its own.
3 big fleshed out star systems with interesting planets at the brink of war and you have to choose who will win boom, pitched a game 10x more fun than Starfield
Funny thing with Londinium - I decided to try landing randomly on the planet, ignored the UC ship telling me to stay away and menu clicked my way down there. As soon as I got out, another random ship came a few hundred m away, as they do. Wandered over, found it was a Freestar Ship that had landed at a "small settlement" or something like that. On Londinium. The planet that was quarantined because it was over-run with monsters. Sigh. There were a couple of terrormophs there, but they were basically a part of the local fauna. Big deal. I climbed a mountain to try to find more with my sniper. Shot one waaaaay off in the distance. It burrowed into the ground and instantly came up again right next to me. So I guess they can teleport too huh. Terrifying. It was at that moment that truly I lost interest in the game.
Aye I wanted to test out and see if I can land on other points of the planet and was completely bamboozled when it was the exact same ecliptic/fleet outposts of every other planet just with the occasional terrormorph here and there ;/
@@SerjuhHah I see your bamboozled and raise you a flabbergasted :). Really, it's just so freaking lazy though! And like so many things with Starfield, totally disappointing because it would have been easy to make it better. Disable the random POI, and 10x to 20x the terramorphs. Maybe give them a swarming mechanic. Then it would have been crazy fun to try to survive! But no, they couldnt be bothered to do anything. Just bizarre.
I'm really in love with this kind of editting. Funny, creative & dedicated. Reminds me of those STALKER videos made in the same fashion. I like Starfield for its shipbuilding only, and even that is limited as hell. The outpost building sucks, but at least the breath-taking sceneries on some planets somewhat make up for the lacklustering base building.
Glad you enjoyed! The views are phenomenal I'll give em that. I was hoping i could build some like some type of arc and have one of the planetary views sit in the middle of it as i craft amp for the billionth time. But alas, only square and circular pods.
If you like ship building you'd probably love a game called Space Engineers. The builds are entirely custom, block for block and there are smaller, 120km seamless planets without loading screens, plus mountains of mod support and multiplayer.
Mega agree. Sadly, there are still far too many deluded Bethesda fanatics who will act as if rating Starfield badly is the equivalent of calling their mother corpulent, saying that you're telling people to not have fun in a game, even though no one had said such things.
What a perfect video. I can't wait to rewatch this Edit: btw if you did this style of video with all bad games that are coming out and have come out recently, that algorithm would swoop you up like a baby and let you suckle on the teets of TH-cam itself. It's such a good style and would binge more bad games
Useless sony bots are sad because they are not bots, they are real people who are useless in every way. Just try the game and report back with honesty, not dishonesty.
Thats kinda what happens when each department does its own thing without thinking how it connects to other aspects in the grand scheme. Though I'm certain AI would do a better job at writing a compelling story than Emil.
@@Serjuh I havent played it yet but from everything i´ve watched and read it seems like every aspect of the game is bland. Not bad and not good. Everything is enough to be funcional and the writing is designed not to be offensive or edgy. If there ever was a game developed by IA thats pretty much how i expect it to be.
First visual impressions I had when they released first pictures and videos was "why they copy Star citizen?" Everything looks like stolen from Star citizen. Only Star citizen seems like giant masterpiece compare to that.
There needs to be a huge shakeup at management at Bethesda if things are ever going to change there, if they're ever going to be shaken out of their complacency. Because that's what they are now: Complacent. They're still riding their success with Skyrim from 12 years ago, and believe that they do not need to innovate. Yes, the Creation Engine is outdated and holding their studio back, but that's only one small part of it.
Microsoft needs to let other studios have Fallout and Elder Scrolls in my opinion it was an IP purchase that Microsoft did if they bought for BGS then lord help em they are about 20yrs too late
He has 200 hours in the game because most of it's filler I swear to God 3 out of those 200 hours is him sitting through the "leaving planet/entering planet/ship traveling" unskipabble cutscenes.@@roserevancroix2308
For me the funniest is the reviews pre launch, a lot of 10/10 and 9/10, and even a guy give it 11/10, I really don't know which game they were playing.
The "We at the Bethesda marketing team would like to offer you a copy of our game and an undisclosed amount of money to say positive things about our newest product" game
every video ive watched shitting on starfield has been enjoyable asf from hour long well thought out and written videos to meme shitposts that are amazing
I wouldn't go that far, Morrowind and Oblivion were legit good games at the time. The problem is that they haven't really innovated since then, and all their best writers left. The biggest problem with Starfield is that it plays like a game from 20 years ago.
Never again, I’ll stick to my dayZ, NV, Skyrim and red dead and waiting on GTA 6. Hopefully they come out with undead nightmare for Red dead 2, waiting on that aswell.
Moments of wonder, thrills and excitement followed by an unnecessarily long and expensive trip plodding through a fun-filled theme park of caustic boredom and monotony, while tethered like a kindergartner on a field trip to a bunch of other kids you just want to get away from.
You hit the nail on the head, in just about ever issue I have with the game. I think the most wild part is that in the UC vanguard they give you all this interesting lore. I can't help but think why are we playing in this time period and not during mech and alien warfare. I never really liked fallout 4 but I went back to replay it after beating starfield or I guess becoming a starborn. I tried survival for the first time, and was actually having fun. Starfield feels like a chore to play, doesn't help that it feels like 80% of the quest are go here grab this and bring it here. I am disappointed in starfield, even if I was just expecting fallout 4 in space it's far worse than that.
Yea, Survival is the definitely the "best" way to play Fo4. Especially pair it with mods that add realism, the game truly becomes of a open-world survival (arcadey) masterpiece. At least gameplay wise, the writing and roleplaying aspect are still mediocre.
Is it me or were games from last gen games just better, even the bad games seem better than what we get now?? Is the hardware moving faster than the software? Are they too distracted by their phones and social media? Why so lackluster?
I am on hiatus playing Starfield and I am waiting for mods to make this game live up to its full potential. At the very least Bethesda gave the mods a big blank canvas for them to paint their masterpiece on.
Ehhh..mods can only go so far. They don't fix bland setting. Or npcs, story and quests. They can also mess up other parts of the game. Plus the time and effort that it takes to setup and update mods is the time you could simply play as good or better games with zero mods.
@@cockyrustler I use to think the same "mods can only go so far" DLC levels of quality from some of them the rest can ring true... I hold hope, but just barely why should modders FIX a game for a billion dollar company?
Why play a shit game? Even mods cant build on something that is terrible. When the game’s foundations’ are terrible. Its like building on sand; its just going to sink into the quagmire. If you want an honestly amazing “mod” go try STALKER anomaly, its more focused modpack variant; GAMMA. Its a literal FREE, yes, FREE game, build from the ground up off the STALKER engine. Its a sandbox shooter designed around being customizable. Its what I’ve been playing over Starfield. This old ass FREE mod (been around since 2019) is objectively better THEN the Triple A dogshit Bugesda shat out. Its frankly ridiculous to think about.
Without a way to move through the universe, you can't have Skyrim 'exploration' where you move around and find things, get distracted, be immersed. That was a core design decision, and mods sadly can't fix that. (Maybe I'm wrong? Hope so!)
Honestly players shouldn’t actually be ok hiatus with this game but boycott it. It’s literally a spit in the game community face to yet again, release a half ass game with „modders will fix it“ mentality. It’s not on modders to fix bethesdas shit and gamers should have more dignity and actually demand something for their money, instead of sucking bethesda off just for using this old ass engine cuz it’s so „highly moddable“ as fanboys love to say so proudly. Im done with bethesda, that was one too many disappointments. I will check out ES6 but my hype for it is completely gone. 5-6 years will pass and we will see yet again a demo showcase with todd howard lying through his teeth and then get screwed one more time for 70-80 bucks before he retires as he said.
Thanks for this, you put everything in words perfectly. I torrented Starfield to try it out and see how my new 3070 handles it... im lucky to hit 70fps lmao... i have abandoned the game to finish Phantom Liberty and then its back to Kingdom Come.
Time is a valuable resource, if its going to be spent on games, might as well be ones that were made with entertainment in mind. You ain't missing anything with Slopfield
@@fepethepenguin8287 Same. My old 1070 was able to give me nice fps and i had no issues playing through the game multiple times with it. But the 3070 changed so much, the game is amazing with raytraced reflections and shadows.
I can't believe how they made a huge sci-fi space game that's so much less creative than any of their other games.. it's just boring people. Only boring people. It's crazy how bland & PG it all is. Nothing pulls you in. Nothing gives you that wow feeling of exploration experience, unique interactions, it's just shot guns, fast travel, talk to boring lame weirdos in terrible perspectives. It's ridiculous. Gaming should be better than this. It doesn't need to be Huge! It just needs to be fun, creative, have personality! This game lacks personality more than any other game. They think they improved graphics and size and that makes it "better" No... The answer is No... People would rather have better art style, dynamic vibes, immersive exploration experience, things to do when you explore besides shot gun, walk in barren places... It's the most non sci-fi, sci-fi game... oblivion is much more creative and dynamic than Starfield is.
I find it insane how they created this whole universe from scratch and put us in the most boring time. >colony wars are over >mechs are banned >va'ruun are staying out of trouble (zealots just pirate like the spacers, ecliptic, fleet, bountry hunters) Would've been far better if we were the mediator in the colony wars, kinda like in NV and actually had to pick a side and change space in some way...
@@Serjuh i agree. They created the most boring possible story and setup for us to be involved in as a player in a sci-fi "rpg" *i really feel like the creators of New vegas would have made such a better game
As a xbox simp i wholeheartedly deny your facts and logic . Because if no Starfield then i cant pump my chest like gorilla infront of Playstation ponies who have same shitty 3rd person action cinematic movies with rpg mecganics nor i can justifying my purchase of this crapbox. Please let me simp for the comoany hell bent on destroying gaming industry
Much appreciated! As long as there are games that foster opinions deep in me, good or bad, then the videos will continue. So far Lords of The Fallen is garnering some praise and resentment, so that is likely next. Always open to suggestions as well!
Amazing editing, my dude! Great video! Editing remains me of Filmento here on TH-cam, he does similar sound effects and all but while ranting about movies.
Every BGS game is progressively more shallow and poorly written. Is ANYONE really looking forward to ES6? Not the ES6 you really WANT - no, the ES6 that Bethesda is going to MAKE.
I was looking forward to it, but with Bethesda you can know how the game is going to turn out by looking at their current one and well... I have no hopes for ES6 to be an RPG (at all) and it will most likely be very streamlined, even moreso than Skyrim. I will take pleasure in experiencing more of the ES universe, as its my favorite one, but I will also be heartbroken by seeing more retcons and terrible writing.
You are certainly right. I won't pre-order that game at all. I wish that some other company make that game using for example : Unreal Engine 5 so we could compare it with the crappy game that I think it will be. We have Star Wars game from EA but UBISOFT is now into the saga and we will see if UBISOFT beats EA and I think and expect they will. Cause Star Wars Jedi Survivor does not even let you save the game. Again, I wish that some other company get their hands in the next Elder Scroll and I can bet my head that Bethesda will be outshined.
Everything is such a waste of time that there are almost no boss battles, interesting quest lines, good mythology, meaningful loot or combat. It appears as if Bethesda spent so much time and money getting their procedural generation No Man's Sky ripoff working that they didn't have much time to do anything else. In their haste, they implemented as much boring fetch quests as possible with generic voice acting to make it seem like there's some substance here, but there isn't. About the most fun you have in this game is customizing your ship, and I'm not even joking about that. That's how dull the game is.
I had to play a bit of NMS to get some of the footage in the video, and I had INFINITELY more fun on a single planet, than i did in the entirety of Starfield. I think its quite funny how even something basic like "scanning" is far better in NMS than a game that came out this year. In NMS you just scan once and you're done, free to move on from that resource/animal, and you can scan at any range. Whereas in Starfield you have to scan the same thing multiple times and only if you're close to it because they had to turn "comfort" into a skill.
100% agree with your points. I enjoyed settlements in Fallout 4 as it had story meaning. I was rebuilding community and society it was fulfulling & rewarding. In Starfield there is no world lore reason to make a base. No one needs materials and you don't need much money. I made lots of bases to get specific achievements and most bases were bugged with the storage links not working, or ship landing pads not working, or crafting benches not working. I didn't really enjoy space combat. There was no 3D radar so there was no way of working out which enemy was the closest and the best to try and attack. I would just spend ages doing nothing chasing an enemy that was far away. Space random encounters were terrible. I had the exact same geologist & conversation 3 times and every time Ithe game was bugged and would not let me give her the rocks she wanted. I also had the religion tour ship 3 times and had the exact same set of questions from the passengers. In the end I just avoided space and fast travelled straight to the planets.
Would've been really cool if they intergraded some interest concepts into outpost building. Maybe something like, alternate universe versions of your companions visiting your outposts when you're there and talking to your timelines version of themselves, or Starborn using your outpost as a hub for trading alternate universe gear if you have the armillary built there...
My experience when I went into the game blindly: 1. HYPELEVEL 10 starting up the game (o this looks cool) 2. HYPELEVEL 8 having to mine and finding some magic rock that transmits a signal (o this is awfully familiar to both Mass effect 1 and Dead Space) 3. HYPELEVEL 6 Meeting some dude who thinks i'm the hero of humanity because I activated that stone, and gives me acces to a club AND a spaceship right away (hmmm this smells of bad writing) 4. HYPELEVEL 4 having to menu navigate to the right planet where I meet this club. 5. HYPELEVEL 3 landing on the most bland version of a space city/colony ever 6. HYPELEVEL 2 finding that clubhouse after navigating the same boring city with a non functional map 7. HYPELEVEL 0 having to talk to the most basic boring npc's at that clubhouse and get send out to get more of those stones 8. Uninstal game and reinstall both mass effect remastered and cyberpunk2077
Gsmanlives and other review youtube shilled for this game so hard it hurts. Well they fooled me into buying this garbage game and oh boy have bethesda gone down the drain compared to there older games you can barely call this a RPG.
Part of the reason I made this video was seeing youtubers i respected get bought out. Either the money or promising allure of early access to TES6 had some decent fellas shill out.
@@Serjuh True Starfield for me started feeling that I was jumping from shoebox to shoebox the game just felt small for that reason unlike skyrim or oblivion which is a shame also the quests as you said have no risks at all. Save everyone your a winner everyone dies hey your still a winner.
@@misanthropicattackhelicopt4148 Yeah it became so automated for me as well. Open journal, press button for show on map, press button for travel. Don't even know the name of a single quest lol
Obvious most effort in development of this game was marketing. I was a 'sucker' believing the hype and lost $70. Your review is intelligent and verbalizes what we are thinking who are mad we paid $70 for this 'lie'. Good job on this video! (Maybe Microsoft will completely clean house and make a new generation of Bethesda? That assumes they care about anything though.)
Its a bad fallout, but a good game imo. The thing about fo4 is that if you're on your way to do a quest, you're bound to run into some other quest or dungeon as you go. That will never happen in Starfield, you'll just run into more "activity added"
Most enlightened Starfield review I have ever seen! You really helped me find the explanation of my bad feelings towards this game, even though so many is convinced this is the best game ever from Bethesda.
Its a shame people have their standards so close to the floor that they'd praise mediocrity like they do. That's all the greenlight Bethesda need to castrate TES even further. 😿
When it comes to enjoying a game, I don’t want to do most of the work. My attention, my interest and ultimately my enjoyment should be earned, not taken for granted. I feel like Starfield just says “Here’s a workable storyline and a few half-arsed characters. Here’s a gun and a few simple enemies to shoot with it. Here’s a city. Here’s another one. Here’s a bunch of bog-standard quests. Here’s some empty terrain to explore. Not happy? Okay, here’s a spaceship, design your own. Or build an outpost. Here’s a scanner, go scan. Here’s some sh*t, go craft. HAVE FUN!” Is there some kind of abdication of responsibility going on here? It’s an RPG’s job to actually DESIGN THE FUN, not just empty a toy box all over the floor, say “Enjoy!” and walk off.
So many quests in the game set things up in an interesting manner just to have the least exciting conclusion possible. Also, your videos are dope and I hope you continue to make longer videos like this one.
Your hopes are likely to be fulfilled. I more or less completed the script for the Lords of The Fallen video (hopefully i don't get an itch to revise some segments) and it stands rather close to this video word count wise. I reckon that will also be the case going forward if the game in question has enough for me to isolate and evaluate.
Thank you because you put the truth in such a way that it was informative and a laugh riot and i came close to Laughing and 99.99% of the time i don't have a sense of humor unless i need to break the tension to get someone to relax which helps a person with a project they are working on so thank you for your good and honest sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pleas keep it up
Damn man you deserve way more subs for this video quality. I'll be honest I didn't even buy this I was way to jaded after FO76 and imo as long as people keep buying this stuff they will keep delivering trash because they have no reason to do better.
The problem with pronouns is that you have to eat them, whether you like them or not. They put them in for the sake of filling out a checkbox and nothing more, they don't care, like for example the Russian's shirt with the wrong colors or in Spiderman 2 where Miles is Cuban... Video games are to get out of the reality of Shit we live in. and not for them to preach their sinister agenda.
Valid. I guess I would care more about those issues if I cared about the setting. But as I was playing the universe was just a massive "yeah w.e" to me, and adding wokeism to it went straight to the w.e pile.
Why don't we get a space skateboard/hoverboard type deal to zoom around hills? Could even have some goofy quest where there are moon punks that love doing cool tricks and they give you access to their hardware when you bring them survey data or something. Smh Bethesda lackin
i didn't have high hopes for Starfield, i would have just been happy with the shallow but varied Skyrim gameplay but in space, where mods can build off of I remember Todd saying this is a next gen game... what part of this game is next gen exactly?
I just finished the Main Story. If they had used the mechanics and had the same intensity from that last mission spread out into the rest of the game. I would have forgiven all of the other BS
Would've been cool if the "multiverse" actually mixed things up. Like a universe where there was no end to the colony war and now you have a new quest-line to decide which faction wins the war. Or a universe where mechs are not banned...
I praise you good sir for saying the truth about this game I will no longer be purchasing any game from bethesda anymore. Although I do have to say fallout 4 is a good narrative rpg (basically meaning you have a story you have to follow) they have done nothing to fix the problems of their games and claim "it just works" or that we as players "need to update and upgrade our consoles" because Dawg howard can't optimize a video game after 25 years.
Fallout 4 definitely had some design to it. By following the quest-line there, you would 100% run into some side-content. Be it an interesting quest, dungeon or random encounter. Can't have that in Starfield since everything is >Open quest log >Show on map >Set course
Spot on. I've come to the realization that the game is fundamentally flawed in a way that no mod or update can actually fix. It's the base level structures of the game that are so unappealing. I keep telling people one of the things that just kills the game for me is that there is nothing 'between the space' - between the chunks of things you're looking to do; There's no emergent gameplay. And i don't think that conversations or even fights in the space boxes above the planets really count. Then you land on the planet and it might be beautiful, but it's so empty. The procedural content is so uninteresting. Honestly, they could have made the game feel bigger by just having one hand-crafted system. Earth is already destroyed in the game - they could have made that even bigger - have parts of the earth blown off in chunks flying around the Sol system that the player can land on. Humans can have colonies on mars, titan, and other moons. They could have created a new planet or a dyson sphere. It's just a huge disappointment.
Bro, I liked Starfield... BUT I recently booted up Skyrim, added a few Mods and damn that game is just timeless dude... I don't know if Bethesda will ever capture that magic again.
They definitely could with TES6. Literally all they need is a beautiful world with adventures in every direction. The writing in Skyrim wasn't remarkable, neither was the combat, yet it popped off.
How is Bethesda and Xbox in busines im not kidding I was close to buying one just to play this game and now that I see this like I could save my money. I’m a stick with my PS5
Yeah I was gonna buy a Series S for this game but I downloaded it on my kids Xbox when they were over the time before last and I made it like 7 hours into the game before the frustration and boredom started hitting me hard. So I fired up the ole PS4 and started a new Fallout 4 game instead. I still want a Series S but starfield is absolutely not the system seller to push me to make that purchase.
You know starfield will win game of the year because Bethesda will pay for it. Baldur's gate 3 should win it, but it won't Edit. I'm so glad to be wrong. Good to see Bethesda couldn't buy the win
Haven't really played BG3, not really my style of game but I hope it wins. That game actually deserves GoTY. The Game Awards are corporate garbage anyways, I take "Steam Awards" as a more valid indicator of quality, and I have no doubt BG3 will win there. Hopefully Lies of P wins some awards in either TGA or Steam though, its a gem for anyone into soulslikes.
Of course it fucking won't. That's delusional, Starfield is known universally as a critical failure. Why would you believe it has more chances to win goty than BG3 ? It's doesn't even have a chance to be in the top 3.
@@rickhapstley3866 because "game of the year" is nothing more than a paid promotion by the people "voting" for it. Bethesda will likely just pay them to make sure it's game of the year. That's my point. I don't think you actually read my comment
@@COREcasual No, I can read, thank you. They're no way Starfield can win it, are you serious ? I think you're saying bullshit just to bitch and complain. My pronostics are BG3 GOTY, and a few other games before Starfield. we'll see in a month anyway.

The worst part is they made a world that was already explored, it all feels like we were late to the party. Every planet is littered with factory’s and outposts, you are never more than a few hundred meters from a structure. The whole colonial war already happened and you just get to hear about all the cool interesting events that already occurred. No matter how far you go there are always humans waiting for you there.
Haha yeah. The wrote an entire universe and put the players in the most boring uneventful time. Hell we didn't even get to experience mechs, we just hear about em. Radical writing.
Those are basically the exact words I said when ranting about this game. Everything remotely interesting about this universe has already happened. It's extremely bizarre too with how much this game romanticizes the act of exploring. It's also completely ridiculous what they did with Earth. I understand they can't make an explorable future Earth, but they could at least do something more interesting than making it an uninhabitable sandy desert because of space artifact magic. If they had the balls to completely destroy Earth it would've made for a more gritty and interesting universe.
Even the plants & wildlife that you need to scan already have names. So therefore must have already been discovered in the past
Somehow, the relentless haters started with, “The worlds are completely empty!! I hate it!” and have now arrived at, “There’s stuff everywhere!! I hate it!”
If you like the game, you like it. If you love the game, you love it. If you hate the game, you hate it. Leave it at that. If playing the game isn’t worth your time, then making countless hours of content about it isn’t either.
… unless you know it’s a well-loved game and you’re using Bethesda’s success to boost your interactions.
@@ShepGibsonthey are somehow empty and full of things at the same time, and those things look the same on every planet, literally copy pasted, so they make the planets look even more gamey and empty
"without the charm of a decade's worth of writing and world-building to stand on, Bethesda's incompetence shines brighter than ANYTHING in the galaxy" 💯🔥🔥🔥
"there are no planets" sums it up perfectly. The planet thing is a very flimsy illusion and that's the worst part about the whole setting
Yeah that one kinda hurt.
They 100% saw how No Mans Sky approached random generation, planets, etc, and decided to not even slightly emulate that.
If nothing else, this game has inspired me to purchase No Man's Sky.

Starfield really made Outer Worlds look better by comparison.
yeah didnt liked Outer World so much but its really somewhat better
@@AerynWalk Feelings mutuals, but Outer Worlds was at least more provocative, weapon’s didn’t all shoot or sound the same, more vibrant color palette, weapons actually had character and each planet felt distinct.
Outer Worlds is ass compared to Starfield.
@@robbyrockets1 Hardly, for the points I listed earlier, there’s actual gore and weapons with actual visual quirks, not just lame pea shooters that Starfield has.
I agree completely! It's like everyone else ignores completely the points which are made in the video. Outer Worlds is not the best of games, but definitely entertaining and has something to play with, than Starfield.
Once I heard that all of Bethesda's execs took their payout checks & retired I realized what the game was: Minimal Contractual Obligation.

@@Serjuh 2028 at the earliest lol if it even releases.
😭
Yeah, the 'golden exit door'. Bye Bethesda, we will remember your good days in the past.
Like jim did..
Guess pisstation is dead......
20 years ago Bethesda released a game that let you kill anyone and everyone then simply popped up a text box telling you there's not going to be a proper ending before letting you continue on. That was better quest making than what they have today.
Spot on!
Starfield is so fundamentally flawed on so many levels.
It's plagued with bad game design decisions, half baked systems, bland & uninspired writing and outdated quest design.
It ain't "Skyrim in Space", nor is it "Fallout in Space"
Starfield is a downgraded, mediocre and soulless mixture of Skyrim & Fallout 4, without the free world exploration and the charm of either.
It's a regression from Bethesdas previous titles in all aspects and the saddest part is that it took them 8 years to create a soulless piece of mediocrity with unparalleled boredom.
Whats even worse is that they had ALL the creative freedom to write whatever the hell they want, there is no established lore that restricts them from going crazy.
And yet they went for the most banal unimaginitive take on sci-fi.
@@SerjuhThey stated in the direct that they wanted to make a earthly and lofi setting. I just finished the main story 2 days ago and have 85 hours played, I'd say they went for a pretty realistic setting which I like.
@@Serjuh Indeed, Starfield exposed how creatively bankrupt BGS is.
Like you said without decades worth of established lore and world building, Bethesda is lost.
While the setting itself ain't very interesting to begin with, it would still be much better if they set the game during the colony war.
Instead of collecting artifacts and becoming space dragonborn, you could decide with which faction you want to side, find a solution to unite the factions, side with the corps to sabotage the war or choose to be a renegade who conquers the settlements. Such a wasted opportunity!
@@mattiaskollnitz9794 Ah yeah the classic "it's realistic" argument.
Space magic is indeed very realistic...
Shooting 100 rounds into a bulletsponge wearing a spacesuit is very realistic as well, just like throwing a grenade inside a space ship without damaging the hull, or not being able to shoot through glass, all very realistic...

I cant tell if this is a compliment or a insult.
@@AlphaMelGibson
Both 💀
Their version of space is done by a developer in an hour. Just a glorified PNG called a planet where you a and a couple of things spawn in. Be it a space fight or a space station. But you are just still in a tiny box with a star background. And even if you see the other planet in the distance. There is no point in going there by actual travel. It would take a long time to get to another planet/moon texture and you would still have to go in the menu and click on it to travel to the planet itself. So you wasted half an hour to turn in a side quest. Space exploration is just an illusion in that game. Even if the game can be fun. The advertisement for it was a lie to appease to the masses.
Yep. And despite that, the game is still going to be very successful because some people truly have their standards by their sandals.
@@Serjuh it isn't because of that, it's because they value things differently (not at all the same thing); I care A LOT about simulation, most people care more for eye candy and "flavor", which is why (for example) no city builder ever really satisfies me, because I care about the simulation; and why FPS are boring to me (even the most famous ones), because I don't really care about frames per second, grpahics and other stuff. I find it hard to understand, but Starfield is EXACTLY what a lot of people wanted...
PS: the funny thing is that you are very clearly one of those bethesda fanboys, the way you talk about skyrim and fallout (those were already extremely dumbed down adventure games NOT RPG's)
@@larrote6467I shoot a gun in a middle of a city and yet no one reacts to it. 16x TIMES THE DETAIL
@@larrote6467 can you reccomend good simulation games to me? i like those games too
@@larrote6467 I mean, it's mostly semantics. In your terms, you could say that some people don't place as much value in "high standards". Otherwise I'm not sure what I would say Starfield players are valuing differently... except maybe that familiar old Bethesda feeling. It doesn't have really high standards in any particular aspect... it's just kinda okay at everything it's doing. But it feels like a BGS game in a new setting with a couple new gimmicks, and that's exactly what a lot of people wanted like you said. As a bonus, it's the "most polished BGS release ever" and wasn't a train wreck at launch!
the factions is made worse, when most of the time you fight anyone they are all wearing spacesuits that barely look different.
The way they fight sucks. The AI does the right things to a point. Fix and flank kinda sort of happens. But not with the kind of rapidity that makes any fight urgent. I’ve never had one target a gas tank in purpose…if they did that one thing alone, this would play like a very different game.
And yes, aside from the Va’Ruun weapons being a bit different, you fight them all the same way. It’s annoying. What those toons actually do matters more though, and we’ve reached a point in gaming where it’s something we can expect.
Imagine fighting realizing your fighting ecliptic and puckering up because these guys put down a determined defense…mines covered by fire. Mortars if you stay in one place for too long. Tanks they blow up when they get near them, etc. or fearing UC because you know they’ll have heavy weapons and mechs (that ban is lame)(where are the machine gun turrets?).
Or maybe you gotta worry about freestar because they’re using armored Ashta or something.
And there should be the pucker factor of reinforcement for all factions. Like take too long to clear a place and the big boyz drop in. Like a mech boss, or terrormorph boss. Or say like chemical weapons or tac nuke (big boy) unit showing up.
All this stuff gives the fighting a sense of place that the outfits help with as well.
@@Mantelar That would help,but just making them more distuiguishable, in fallout different humans fought similarly but you could tell a ranger from a bandit, from a brotherhood of steel as their armour and equipment all look different and might have different enough guns.
I know right, there is like one wardrobe in the entire space lol.
@@bacorable god kills a kitten every time you shoot a pirate legend in the head.
But yeah, some spacer quests could be interesting. They are a diverse lot and may be the most interesting faction of all. Ship breaks down and you’re marooned without supplies? Spacer. Criminals on the run. Spacer. Parents children are killed and they decide to break bad? Spacer. Grandparents were sick of the government and moved out to a utopian commune that fell apart? Spacer.
I literally lol'd at the first Terrormorph encounter because they hyped it up so much and had a whole quest to trap and kill the Terrormorph and kept talking about how dangerous it was, but I decided to just shoot it and it died extremely easily on very hard difficulty. Was straight up embarrassing compared to Deathclaws in New Vegas or even dragons in Skyrim
Spot on analysis unfortunately. I have no faith that ES6 will be good anymore after dumping significant time into this game and seeing for myself all the flaws you pointed out. Sad
Its crazy how each game they release is more castrated than its predecessor... Usually studios try something new or try to innovate, but Bethesda makes each game such a safe bet that finding charm in them is a challenge of its own.
They could have made this game one star system like The outer worlds and the game would be better for it
Quality over quantity.
3 big fleshed out star systems with interesting planets at the brink of war and you have to choose who will win
boom, pitched a game 10x more fun than Starfield
Yes and add space flight in space rpg. duh todd time to retire,
Yeah and 90% of the lore will be dead. No crimson fleet quest, no xenomorph, no magics, no war, no religions
@@samuraiblindado6439literally none of that NEEDS multiple star systems tho.
Funny thing with Londinium - I decided to try landing randomly on the planet, ignored the UC ship telling me to stay away and menu clicked my way down there. As soon as I got out, another random ship came a few hundred m away, as they do. Wandered over, found it was a Freestar Ship that had landed at a "small settlement" or something like that. On Londinium. The planet that was quarantined because it was over-run with monsters. Sigh. There were a couple of terrormophs there, but they were basically a part of the local fauna. Big deal. I climbed a mountain to try to find more with my sniper. Shot one waaaaay off in the distance. It burrowed into the ground and instantly came up again right next to me. So I guess they can teleport too huh. Terrifying.
It was at that moment that truly I lost interest in the game.
Aye I wanted to test out and see if I can land on other points of the planet and was completely bamboozled when it was the exact same ecliptic/fleet outposts of every other planet just with the occasional terrormorph here and there ;/
@@SerjuhHah I see your bamboozled and raise you a flabbergasted :). Really, it's just so freaking lazy though! And like so many things with Starfield, totally disappointing because it would have been easy to make it better. Disable the random POI, and 10x to 20x the terramorphs. Maybe give them a swarming mechanic. Then it would have been crazy fun to try to survive! But no, they couldnt be bothered to do anything. Just bizarre.
I'm really in love with this kind of editting. Funny, creative & dedicated. Reminds me of those STALKER videos made in the same fashion. I like Starfield for its shipbuilding only, and even that is limited as hell. The outpost building sucks, but at least the breath-taking sceneries on some planets somewhat make up for the lacklustering base building.
Glad you enjoyed!
The views are phenomenal I'll give em that.
I was hoping i could build some like some type of arc and have one of the planetary views sit in the middle of it as i craft amp for the billionth time. But alas, only square and circular pods.
If you like ship building you'd probably love a game called Space Engineers. The builds are entirely custom, block for block and there are smaller, 120km seamless planets without loading screens, plus mountains of mod support and multiplayer.
If you want "breathtaking sceneries" just go play no man's sky.
It's actually good now.
Mega agree. Sadly, there are still far too many deluded Bethesda fanatics who will act as if rating Starfield badly is the equivalent of calling their mother corpulent, saying that you're telling people to not have fun in a game, even though no one had said such things.
Mega pony sale eh
Some people can't differentiate fun from quality.
I had a lot of fun on ESO (over 4k hrs) but i would not call that game great in the slightest.

I don't know what's good or bad til I play it. So I'm bound to run into more corporate or bad games going forward.
Useless sony bots are sad because they are not bots, they are real people who are useless in every way. Just try the game and report back with honesty, not dishonesty.
I have a gut feeling that i cant shake off that this game was the first AAA title to be fully or mostly AI created.
Thats kinda what happens when each department does its own thing without thinking how it connects to other aspects in the grand scheme.
Though I'm certain AI would do a better job at writing a compelling story than Emil.
@@Serjuh I havent played it yet but from everything i´ve watched and read it seems like every aspect of the game is bland. Not bad and not good. Everything is enough to be funcional and the writing is designed not to be offensive or edgy.
If there ever was a game developed by IA thats pretty much how i expect it to be.
First visual impressions I had when they released first pictures and videos was "why they copy Star citizen?" Everything looks like stolen from Star citizen. Only Star citizen seems like giant masterpiece compare to that.
There needs to be a huge shakeup at management at Bethesda if things are ever going to change there, if they're ever going to be shaken out of their complacency. Because that's what they are now: Complacent. They're still riding their success with Skyrim from 12 years ago, and believe that they do not need to innovate. Yes, the Creation Engine is outdated and holding their studio back, but that's only one small part of it.
Microsoft needs to let other studios have Fallout and Elder Scrolls in my opinion it was an IP purchase that Microsoft did if they bought for BGS then lord help em they are about 20yrs too late
I really enjoyed the editing in this video. Respect

A bs take on the game..
It's like they finished the 1st draft called it a day and shipped it out
For me the funniest is the reviews pre launch, a lot of 10/10 and 9/10, and even a guy give it 11/10, I really don't know which game they were playing.
The "We at the Bethesda marketing team would like to offer you a copy of our game and an undisclosed amount of money to say positive things about our newest product" game
every video ive watched shitting on starfield has been enjoyable asf from hour long well thought out and written videos to meme shitposts that are amazing
Starfield is a 20 year old "next gen" game.
It's also not a disappointment, it's exactly what you could expect from Bethesda.
Bethesda was never that good, y’all just blinded by the nostalgia
I wouldn't go that far, Morrowind and Oblivion were legit good games at the time. The problem is that they haven't really innovated since then, and all their best writers left.
The biggest problem with Starfield is that it plays like a game from 20 years ago.

starfield make star citizen prove their points.
never rush the game development.
if you call 8 years rushing it...? wat!
You hit the nail on the head, in just about ever issue I have with the game. I think the most wild part is that in the UC vanguard they give you all this interesting lore. I can't help but think why are we playing in this time period and not during mech and alien warfare. I never really liked fallout 4 but I went back to replay it after beating starfield or I guess becoming a starborn. I tried survival for the first time, and was actually having fun. Starfield feels like a chore to play, doesn't help that it feels like 80% of the quest are go here grab this and bring it here. I am disappointed in starfield, even if I was just expecting fallout 4 in space it's far worse than that.
Yea, Survival is the definitely the "best" way to play Fo4. Especially pair it with mods that add realism, the game truly becomes of a open-world survival (arcadey) masterpiece. At least gameplay wise, the writing and roleplaying aspect are still mediocre.
@@asddap Fallout 4 has a good story
This title and thumbnail cracks me up. and the sound effects in the editing is funny too. good job man

Is it me or were games from last gen games just better, even the bad games seem better than what we get now?? Is the hardware moving faster than the software? Are they too distracted by their phones and social media? Why so lackluster?
Lack of creativity mixed with shareholders wanting to make a profit is the crux of the issue i reckon.
@@Serjuh damn major corporations... Sad.

I am on hiatus playing Starfield and I am waiting for mods to make this game live up to its full potential. At the very least Bethesda gave the mods a big blank canvas for them to paint their masterpiece on.
Ehhh..mods can only go so far. They don't fix bland setting. Or npcs, story and quests. They can also mess up other parts of the game.
Plus the time and effort that it takes to setup and update mods is the time you could simply play as good or better games with zero mods.
@@cockyrustler I use to think the same "mods can only go so far" DLC levels of quality from some of them the rest can ring true... I hold hope, but just barely why should modders FIX a game for a billion dollar company?
Why play a shit game? Even mods cant build on something that is terrible. When the game’s foundations’ are terrible. Its like building on sand; its just going to sink into the quagmire.
If you want an honestly amazing “mod” go try STALKER anomaly, its more focused modpack variant; GAMMA. Its a literal FREE, yes, FREE game, build from the ground up off the STALKER engine. Its a sandbox shooter designed around being customizable.
Its what I’ve been playing over Starfield. This old ass FREE mod (been around since 2019) is objectively better THEN the Triple A dogshit Bugesda shat out. Its frankly ridiculous to think about.
Without a way to move through the universe, you can't have Skyrim 'exploration' where you move around and find things, get distracted, be immersed. That was a core design decision, and mods sadly can't fix that. (Maybe I'm wrong? Hope so!)
Honestly players shouldn’t actually be ok hiatus with this game but boycott it. It’s literally a spit in the game community face to yet again, release a half ass game with „modders will fix it“ mentality. It’s not on modders to fix bethesdas shit and gamers should have more dignity and actually demand something for their money, instead of sucking bethesda off just for using this old ass engine cuz it’s so „highly moddable“ as fanboys love to say so proudly. Im done with bethesda, that was one too many disappointments. I will check out ES6 but my hype for it is completely gone. 5-6 years will pass and we will see yet again a demo showcase with todd howard lying through his teeth and then get screwed one more time for 70-80 bucks before he retires as he said.
fallout 4 was a master piece, fallout: new vegas was a gem, and fallout 3 was the big bang.
Thanks for this, you put everything in words perfectly.
I torrented Starfield to try it out and see how my new 3070 handles it... im lucky to hit 70fps lmao... i have abandoned the game to finish Phantom Liberty and then its back to Kingdom Come.
Time is a valuable resource, if its going to be spent on games, might as well be ones that were made with entertainment in mind. You ain't missing anything with Slopfield

@@fepethepenguin8287 Same.
My old 1070 was able to give me nice fps and i had no issues playing through the game multiple times with it.
But the 3070 changed so much, the game is amazing with raytraced reflections and shadows.
Starfield literally just made me get back into No Man's Sky and I've been having a great time.
Real. I played a bit of NMS for footage purposes and somehow got sucked into an expedition event that was going on. Had a great time!
I can't believe how they made a huge sci-fi space game that's so much less creative than any of their other games.. it's just boring people. Only boring people. It's crazy how bland & PG it all is. Nothing pulls you in. Nothing gives you that wow feeling of exploration experience, unique interactions, it's just shot guns, fast travel, talk to boring lame weirdos in terrible perspectives. It's ridiculous. Gaming should be better than this. It doesn't need to be Huge! It just needs to be fun, creative, have personality! This game lacks personality more than any other game. They think they improved graphics and size and that makes it "better" No... The answer is No... People would rather have better art style, dynamic vibes, immersive exploration experience, things to do when you explore besides shot gun, walk in barren places... It's the most non sci-fi, sci-fi game... oblivion is much more creative and dynamic than Starfield is.
I find it insane how they created this whole universe from scratch and put us in the most boring time.
>colony wars are over
>mechs are banned
>va'ruun are staying out of trouble (zealots just pirate like the spacers, ecliptic, fleet, bountry hunters)
Would've been far better if we were the mediator in the colony wars, kinda like in NV and actually had to pick a side and change space in some way...

Filmento, E;R and I Hate Everything are my go to chaps for any movie/tv show related review/analysis
I am your biggest fan by mass
Yesssss I’ve been waiting for your starfield video🎉🎉🎉
Every BGS game is progressively more shallow and poorly written. Is ANYONE really looking forward to ES6? Not the ES6 you really WANT - no, the ES6 that Bethesda is going to MAKE.
I was looking forward to it, but with Bethesda you can know how the game is going to turn out by looking at their current one and well... I have no hopes for ES6 to be an RPG (at all) and it will most likely be very streamlined, even moreso than Skyrim.
I will take pleasure in experiencing more of the ES universe, as its my favorite one, but I will also be heartbroken by seeing more retcons and terrible writing.
You are certainly right. I won't pre-order that game at all. I wish that some other company make that game using for example : Unreal Engine 5 so we could compare it with the crappy game that I think it will be.
We have Star Wars game from EA but UBISOFT is now into the saga and we will see if UBISOFT beats EA and I think and expect they will. Cause Star Wars Jedi Survivor does not even let you save the game. Again, I wish that some other company get their hands in the next Elder Scroll and I can bet my head that Bethesda will be outshined.
Haven't laughed this hard in a while. Well done. Subscribed 😊
Much appreciated! Hopefully future vids won't be fallin short 😎
But guys you can visit 1000 empty new planets
Instead of getting "Structure" you will get "Structure" and its different man! Like in the last one you fought Ecliptic, now its the fleet!
Everything is such a waste of time that there are almost no boss battles, interesting quest lines, good mythology, meaningful loot or combat. It appears as if Bethesda spent so much time and money getting their procedural generation No Man's Sky ripoff working that they didn't have much time to do anything else. In their haste, they implemented as much boring fetch quests as possible with generic voice acting to make it seem like there's some substance here, but there isn't. About the most fun you have in this game is customizing your ship, and I'm not even joking about that. That's how dull the game is.
finishing starfield for the first time makes me want to go back to NMS instead of replaying the game.
Same.
I had to play a bit of NMS to get some of the footage in the video, and I had INFINITELY more fun on a single planet, than i did in the entirety of Starfield.
I think its quite funny how even something basic like "scanning" is far better in NMS than a game that came out this year.
In NMS you just scan once and you're done, free to move on from that resource/animal, and you can scan at any range. Whereas in Starfield you have to scan the same thing multiple times and only if you're close to it because they had to turn "comfort" into a skill.
your editing skilz are fire, subd
Ty brudda!
great sound editing!
This video had me laughing so hard ya’ll are not wrong for expecting better
100% agree with your points. I enjoyed settlements in Fallout 4 as it had story meaning. I was rebuilding community and society it was fulfulling & rewarding. In Starfield there is no world lore reason to make a base. No one needs materials and you don't need much money. I made lots of bases to get specific achievements and most bases were bugged with the storage links not working, or ship landing pads not working, or crafting benches not working. I didn't really enjoy space combat. There was no 3D radar so there was no way of working out which enemy was the closest and the best to try and attack. I would just spend ages doing nothing chasing an enemy that was far away. Space random encounters were terrible. I had the exact same geologist & conversation 3 times and every time Ithe game was bugged and would not let me give her the rocks she wanted. I also had the religion tour ship 3 times and had the exact same set of questions from the passengers. In the end I just avoided space and fast travelled straight to the planets.
Would've been really cool if they intergraded some interest concepts into outpost building.
Maybe something like, alternate universe versions of your companions visiting your outposts when you're there and talking to your timelines version of themselves, or Starborn using your outpost as a hub for trading alternate universe gear if you have the armillary built there...
My experience when I went into the game blindly:
1. HYPELEVEL 10 starting up the game (o this looks cool)
2. HYPELEVEL 8 having to mine and finding some magic rock that transmits a signal (o this is awfully familiar to both Mass effect 1 and Dead Space)
3. HYPELEVEL 6 Meeting some dude who thinks i'm the hero of humanity because I activated that stone, and gives me acces to a club AND a spaceship right away (hmmm this smells of bad writing)
4. HYPELEVEL 4 having to menu navigate to the right planet where I meet this club.
5. HYPELEVEL 3 landing on the most bland version of a space city/colony ever
6. HYPELEVEL 2 finding that clubhouse after navigating the same boring city with a non functional map
7. HYPELEVEL 0 having to talk to the most basic boring npc's at that clubhouse and get send out to get more of those stones
8. Uninstal game and reinstall both mass effect remastered and cyberpunk2077
Starfield might be the reason I give Cyberpunk2077 a try once I run out of games.
@@Serjuh cyberpunk2077 is such a gem since update 2.0. Together with the mass effect trilogy it might be the best scifi rpgs around
@@TheCivildecay it is absolutely not, the fuck you smoking. its the epitome of a polished turd. holy fuck people really do still fall for this sham
Broooo that title 😂😂😂🤣
This is the most funniest savage roast video i have ever seen🤣
Gsmanlives and other review youtube shilled for this game so hard it hurts. Well they fooled me into buying this garbage game and oh boy have bethesda gone down the drain compared to there older games you can barely call this a RPG.
Part of the reason I made this video was seeing youtubers i respected get bought out.
Either the money or promising allure of early access to TES6 had some decent fellas shill out.
@@Serjuh Your not kidding had to unsubscribe from them as they are not trustworthy anymore.
@@misanthropicattackhelicopt4148 Its quite the shame. Really makes you think where else they could've lied.
@@Serjuh True Starfield for me started feeling that I was jumping from shoebox to shoebox the game just felt small for that reason unlike skyrim or oblivion which is a shame also the quests as you said have no risks at all. Save everyone your a winner everyone dies hey your still a winner.
@@misanthropicattackhelicopt4148 Yeah it became so automated for me as well. Open journal, press button for show on map, press button for travel. Don't even know the name of a single quest lol
Obvious most effort in development of this game was marketing. I was a 'sucker' believing the hype and lost $70. Your review is intelligent and verbalizes what we are thinking who are mad we paid $70 for this 'lie'. Good job on this video! (Maybe Microsoft will completely clean house and make a new generation of Bethesda? That assumes they care about anything though.)
I love the world of fallout 4, trash dialogue options aside. It’s a cool place with weird mechanics and funny death animations lol
Its a bad fallout, but a good game imo.
The thing about fo4 is that if you're on your way to do a quest, you're bound to run into some other quest or dungeon as you go.
That will never happen in Starfield, you'll just run into more "activity added"
@@Serjuh agreed! Starfield lost my interest so fast.
@@16xthedetail Probably because its 16x the loading screens.
@@Serjuh hahahaha and we needed more detail!
thank you for having balanced audio. so many videos in this style sound like trash
Most enlightened Starfield review I have ever seen! You really helped me find the explanation of my bad feelings towards this game, even though so many is convinced this is the best game ever from Bethesda.
Its a shame people have their standards so close to the floor that they'd praise mediocrity like they do.
That's all the greenlight Bethesda need to castrate TES even further. 😿
When it comes to enjoying a game, I don’t want to do most of the work. My attention, my interest and ultimately my enjoyment should be earned, not taken for granted. I feel like Starfield just says “Here’s a workable storyline and a few half-arsed characters. Here’s a gun and a few simple enemies to shoot with it. Here’s a city. Here’s another one. Here’s a bunch of bog-standard quests. Here’s some empty terrain to explore. Not happy? Okay, here’s a spaceship, design your own. Or build an outpost. Here’s a scanner, go scan. Here’s some sh*t, go craft. HAVE FUN!” Is there some kind of abdication of responsibility going on here? It’s an RPG’s job to actually DESIGN THE FUN, not just empty a toy box all over the floor, say “Enjoy!” and walk off.
starfield completly shattered any hope for tes6
So many quests in the game set things up in an interesting manner just to have the least exciting conclusion possible.
Also, your videos are dope and I hope you continue to make longer videos like this one.
Your hopes are likely to be fulfilled. I more or less completed the script for the Lords of The Fallen video (hopefully i don't get an itch to revise some segments) and it stands rather close to this video word count wise.
I reckon that will also be the case going forward if the game in question has enough for me to isolate and evaluate.
Thank you because you put the truth in such a way that it was informative and a laugh riot and i came close to Laughing and 99.99% of the time i don't have a sense of humor unless i need to break the tension to get someone to relax which helps a person with a project they are working on so thank you for your good and honest sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pleas keep it up
Appreciate it! As long as my PC runs, I don't intend on stopping.
Great video my guy
Appreciate the effort you put in the video esp the humor
Might be the next Sseth or Fleakazoid in the making
Great review
Damn man you deserve way more subs for this video quality. I'll be honest I didn't even buy this I was way to jaded after FO76 and imo as long as people keep buying this stuff they will keep delivering trash because they have no reason to do better.
Much appreciated!
Yeah as long as they see they're making a profit, they won't see a reason to change. Business as usual.
The problem with pronouns is that you have to eat them, whether you like them or not. They put them in for the sake of filling out a checkbox and nothing more, they don't care, like for example the Russian's shirt with the wrong colors or in Spiderman 2 where Miles is Cuban... Video games are to get out of the reality of Shit we live in. and not for them to preach their sinister agenda.
Valid. I guess I would care more about those issues if I cared about the setting. But as I was playing the universe was just a massive "yeah w.e" to me, and adding wokeism to it went straight to the w.e pile.
Where's my space dune buggy????? That jet pack travel gets super lame very quickly...Great video!
Why don't we get a space skateboard/hoverboard type deal to zoom around hills?
Could even have some goofy quest where there are moon punks that love doing cool tricks and they give you access to their hardware when you bring them survey data or something.
Smh Bethesda lackin
Loading screen simulator
i didn't have high hopes for Starfield, i would have just been happy with the shallow but varied Skyrim gameplay but in space, where mods can build off of
I remember Todd saying this is a next gen game... what part of this game is next gen exactly?
It running 30fps on next gen consoles is pretty next gen.
I just finished the Main Story. If they had used the mechanics and had the same intensity from that last mission spread out into the rest of the game. I would have forgiven all of the other BS
Would've been cool if the "multiverse" actually mixed things up.
Like a universe where there was no end to the colony war and now you have a new quest-line to decide which faction wins the war.
Or a universe where mechs are not banned...
@@Serjuh That last one where mechs are not banned is huge missed opportunity, though would not be surprise if turn it into DLC in some way.
Beat this game and will probably never play it again.
Crazy this game lives rent free in all of your heads
What game?
Nah deleted it and completely forgot about it tbh
I praise you good sir for saying the truth about this game I will no longer be purchasing any game from bethesda anymore. Although I do have to say fallout 4 is a good narrative rpg (basically meaning you have a story you have to follow) they have done nothing to fix the problems of their games and claim "it just works" or that we as players "need to update and upgrade our consoles" because Dawg howard can't optimize a video game after 25 years.
Fallout 4 definitely had some design to it. By following the quest-line there, you would 100% run into some side-content. Be it an interesting quest, dungeon or random encounter.
Can't have that in Starfield since everything is
>Open quest log
>Show on map
>Set course
What a disappointment this game is on so many levels.
Spot on. I've come to the realization that the game is fundamentally flawed in a way that no mod or update can actually fix. It's the base level structures of the game that are so unappealing. I keep telling people one of the things that just kills the game for me is that there is nothing 'between the space' - between the chunks of things you're looking to do; There's no emergent gameplay. And i don't think that conversations or even fights in the space boxes above the planets really count.
Then you land on the planet and it might be beautiful, but it's so empty. The procedural content is so uninteresting. Honestly, they could have made the game feel bigger by just having one hand-crafted system. Earth is already destroyed in the game - they could have made that even bigger - have parts of the earth blown off in chunks flying around the Sol system that the player can land on. Humans can have colonies on mars, titan, and other moons. They could have created a new planet or a dyson sphere. It's just a huge disappointment.
What a gamer.
Bro, I liked Starfield... BUT I recently booted up Skyrim, added a few Mods and damn that game is just timeless dude... I don't know if Bethesda will ever capture that magic again.
They definitely could with TES6. Literally all they need is a beautiful world with adventures in every direction. The writing in Skyrim wasn't remarkable, neither was the combat, yet it popped off.
Cyberpunk is next gen rpg.
imagine making a game so bad it makes Skyrim and fallout 4 look good by comparison
That was Todd's plan all along to justify another re-release of Skyrim
How is Bethesda and Xbox in busines im not kidding I was close to buying one just to play this game and now that I see this like I could save my money. I’m a stick with my PS5
Yeah I was gonna buy a Series S for this game but I downloaded it on my kids Xbox when they were over the time before last and I made it like 7 hours into the game before the frustration and boredom started hitting me hard. So I fired up the ole PS4 and started a new Fallout 4 game instead. I still want a Series S but starfield is absolutely not the system seller to push me to make that purchase.
Cool editing and immaculate meme knowledge. Subbed! Keep em coming.
Much appreciated!
Halfway through the scripting process for the next vid 😎
Too much editing 🫠😛
noooo😢
😔
Fallout 3 n 4 in that tier is criminal
Should've been lower innit?
@@Serjuh fallout 3 can stay but I found fo4 really fun lmao Ik a lot of ppl don’t like it doe
Crystal clear description, wish people at Bethesda could see it... Although, somehow I think they know and just don´t care.
Yooo the peter griffin collab was fire!!!(
You know starfield will win game of the year because Bethesda will pay for it. Baldur's gate 3 should win it, but it won't
Edit. I'm so glad to be wrong. Good to see Bethesda couldn't buy the win
Armored Core 6 will win
Haven't really played BG3, not really my style of game but I hope it wins. That game actually deserves GoTY.
The Game Awards are corporate garbage anyways, I take "Steam Awards" as a more valid indicator of quality, and I have no doubt BG3 will win there.
Hopefully Lies of P wins some awards in either TGA or Steam though, its a gem for anyone into soulslikes.
Of course it fucking won't. That's delusional, Starfield is
known universally as a critical failure. Why would you believe it has more chances to win goty than BG3 ? It's doesn't even have a chance to be in the top 3.
@@rickhapstley3866 because "game of the year" is nothing more than a paid promotion by the people "voting" for it. Bethesda will likely just pay them to make sure it's game of the year. That's my point. I don't think you actually read my comment
@@COREcasual No, I can read, thank you. They're no way Starfield can win it, are you serious ? I think you're saying bullshit just to bitch and complain. My pronostics are BG3 GOTY, and a few other games before Starfield. we'll see in a month anyway.
