Some say Todd Howard's chess club is still more fun than Starfield after 15 hours.
I think that time threshold varies depending on how long you’ve been playing Bethesda’s open world exploration games. I’ve been playing since Morrowind… and lost patience at about the 8 hour mark. Someone who’s never played any previous Bethesda game might last 4 times as long before getting bored.
@@happyspaceinvader508 played morrowind for years , oblivion also (though neede new content) -- skyrim i found dumbed down and boring -- eso played lots --- problkem with Starfield -- soooooo boring, games need human generated content.... crap colour pallette , boring gameplay .. coy n no mans sky story.... evertything was dumbed down for console players, and basically crap. Ecen $15 games like emyrion galactic survival are more fun (and they had a horrible dlc)
Dude...STARFIELD SUCK. Its empty and have a woke story. Fuck Starfield.
And fuck DEI.
If it weren't for the ESG money chasing propa ganda I would've picked it up.
Pick it up on sale and you can mod much of the ESG shit out.
@@TOW2MAN I'm not even gonna bother p irating it.
@@guillermoelnino This is the answer. There's nothing of value in a product that one has to gut and replace so much of just to make mildly enjoyable. Even then it won't change the terrible foundational structure of the game. Why even bother?
Didn't even notice you had so little subs. Fairly rock solid video, very impressive. I subbed, I wish you the best of luck :)!
Thank you ever so much! Much more to come, hopefully this is just the beginning ❤️
ironic they call it shattered space, when that's what starfield is
Lmao this is actually so true
I mean considering the lore of the game, it quite literally is true.
I really really tried to enjoy Starfield but after 20 hours just couldn't go any farther. I came back two more times and it was absolute torture.
It sadly is. We went back to play classic Metal Gear 🫡
No matter all the criticism being thrown at Starfield, I'm planning on trying it out for myself without having the negative mindset.
Tell us how it went after!
Prepared to be bored after 10 hrs.
I don't think it's dead.
It's more like a premature birth; only what Bethesda does to keep it alive will determine if it dies.
I have a love/hate relationship with the game and I feel the criticisms are deserved.
Despite the flaws and weak or missing features, I have found enjoyment in the game, playing it my way. I have some hope for its future.
Right now I have an outpost outside New Atlantis, and it's beautiful, but I am looking at the surrounding POI's and wondering why they don't have any connection with the city.
There is that large science facility POI that had those giant plants. Why couldn't this be repurposed to serve as a food center/farm for the city, with people living there and a small community nearby. It could be a source of quests between the people there and the city. Quests for specific organic sample from other worlds.
All those POi's should be handcrafted to add life to the areas outside the city. There should be things and quests to discover. The major cities should feel like mini-Skyrims, not the dead areas of far away planets. The same goes for Akila. I am okay with the outer systems being the way they are, but the home worlds and nearby systems need to feel more alive.
i couldnt really get too much into it, the game constantly crashed inbetween travel points. and the world seemed pretty lifeless. I had no interest in exploring each planet apart from doing what i needed to do on that world and leaving again. loved the ship building though. you could make some truly unique stuff.
I think you show in this comment exactly why Bethesda will always disappoint. The expectations on it are stupid. "The major cities should feel like mini-Skyrims" is not something any game has done at scale and I don't think it can even be done at scale while also having all the other content and systems people want. Bethesda will prolly continue to release successful yet flawed games that will continue to make money, but people will continue to have these complaints because their headcanon ideas of what the world should be a simply unachievable. And because they'll do something stupid, like focus on proc gen POIs (which is like 3% of the game) and complain about how bad they are....and yet they won't stop visiting them even though they are completely optional side content lol.
In fact the quality of starfield was enough to make me pause gaming a couple of weeks and now i am all into acing games again, they cant be ruined that bad. But even those i play ilare 10 years old....
If people thought this was going to go any different then they obviously weren't following the Fallout 76 fiasco. I say this as an ex Bethesda fan and owner of several of their games.
I assume the next Elder Scrolls game will be as much a disappointment until i hear otherwise.
We still have “The Fall of 76” video vividly playing in front of our eyes.
I never ever trust anything coming from his mount and I was totally right about this game
He went from being the messiah of gaming to becoming its judas.
@@ThisIsGAMEBREAKER 😂😂😂😂😂
Starfield didnt die, because it never lived
👏🏻👏🏻🗣️
You're pretty new creator like me, I hope we go beyond the stars my guy!
Yessirr! Let’s get itt❤️
I really was looking forward to Starfield. The graphics are great, but the game? There are so many unexplained things from the interface. What is the compass about? How does lockpicking work? Why is the inventory so complicated? Why not just stay with the standards of Bethesda Games?
Star citizen is a way better game it just dont hold your hand at the star but the game is a much better space experience it probably will always be the better game just because the limits of what you can do well there is no limit
Exactly, also No Man’s Sky. Limits can be broken by the passion even of a handful of developers. When they reach for glory, rather then only money.
@@ThisIsGAMEBREAKER just the fact the galaxy is so much bigger and theres no loading screens anywhere in star citizen and all the features inside star citizen also note that the game isnt even done yet and is still a million times better you can even hook flight sticks and peddles up and fly your ship that make it more immersive then use your mouse and keyboard to fight on the ground its a insane game.
I might pick it up when it leaves developement stage.
One of the most played games last year.
Crazy to think about what happened in these last few months.
I liked the game and the mods kept it going but moders are leaving so I've gone back to fall out until Bethesda kills that next at least we have fallout London
They should be in jail.
In a glitched Starfield prison.
I'm been having a blast with this game. But as I get into c class ships on Xbox the game has been crashing. Plus starborn powers are all trash.
NO DLC nothing new to do, what did they expect.
Im still playing it myself, just got on ng+12 and looking forward to the dlc.
That’s great. Hopefully it’ll be the DLC this games needs!
shill
Started playing Starfield a week or two ago, I'm loving it. Does it have some bugs? Does it need more travel options? Does it need mod support? Obviously yes to all, but I'm still having a great time. I look forward to the game improving, sure, but I'm not terribly upset about the issues there are now.
Glad you're enjoying it! Hopefully it will have amazing improvements and new life with the DLC. We ended the video with a bit of hope, because the premise this game has is actually so good: maybe it's how it was hyped by Todd that caused 97% of Steam players to leave. If the game was advertised less like a revolution and more of a work in progress, we could've had a different situation now.
Maybe this will be the greatest resurrection in videogames history. Fingers crossed!
It’s not so much the bugs as the repetitive procedurally-generated world and the fact that all travel is limited to loading screens. There’s none of the emergent gameplay you got in previous Bethesda games when wandering between locations… because you can’t wander between locations. The longer you play, the more apparent this becomes.
Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 still have bugs… but are more enjoyable to play (IMHO) than Starfield. Similarly, (again IMHO) No Man’s Sky and Elite Dangerous do the whole space exploration thing better.
The game is terrible there literally nothing to do. Thats not a good sign you enjoy garbage
You were totally spot on with the procedural mechanism. It made sense in games like Descenders, a cool bike game with always a different course.
But imagine a procedural GTA VI.. or worse: a procedural space Skyrim. It’s what we got.
The only thing they can do is work on Elder Scrolls 6 and kill it. Will they?
Bro there like 5mill players right now bro
Are they all lost in loading screens?
Steam charts - April 15

@@ThisIsGAMEBREAKER Is the game only accessible through steam?
It is available in Windows and XBox, too.
I think there is a lot more people playing than just looking up Steam-only stats.
In my opinion the game had potential. Even a lot of potential. I am of the opinion that the game was not broken because of the quality of the game but because Bethesda was once again extremely slow in patching. If Bethesda had reacted quickly like other developers, it could have been something.
Unfortunately, the reality is different. In my game, for example, no trading routes still works properly today. It is purely a matter of luck whether my resources arrive or not. The game is ridiculously easy even on the highest difficulty level, starting at just under 5 hours, and it's far too easy to steal ships and the ships you can buy are far too cheap. The game offers no challenge and is simply endlessly boring after a few hours.
Great points. Also, due to its procedural mechanism, is set to repeat in eternity with different but very similar repetitive situations.
Hopefully the DLC they promised will change something.. if it ever comes out.
Nah, just look at Baldur's Gate 3. The amount of problems they've caused with their patching since release is huge and they released the game unfinished having to go as far as to write in new story just to staple together the end of the game. And they did this with the same team size as Starfield but with the additional benefit of 3 years of early access where players paid them for the privilege of QA testing their game. But BG 3 got so much positive hype at release that people refuse to be critical of the game at all.
Similarly you can look up 10+ year old threads of people trashing Skyrim and making almost every single complaint made against Starfield. Gamers are nothing if not inconsistent. End of the day, regardless of whether you have Armored Core 6 level praise or Cyberpunk/Starfield level internet criticism only the sales and playtime matters. And as of currently Starfield sales and playtime per player are both quite good still.
I was telling somebody a few weeks ago that I thought it was only a matter of time before Bethesda faced a lawsuit over Starfield. The first promised (and paid for) DLC "Broken Space" still hasn't been released. And yes, I do think as soon as Bethesda gets sued they will slap something together and call it Broken Space just to avoid the lawsuit.
I played the game. I enjoyed it initially, but I didn't like the ending. Your actions get really repetitive over time. And ultimately anything you do could come to an end with a single choice on your part to move to another universe. (As if Marvel and DC hadn't kill that whole concept already.)
I swore I'd never play another Bethesda game after Fallout 76. I broke that promise with Starfield. Todd Howard is really going to have to bring something to the table to get me to break that promise again.
No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk didn't lose a lawsuit. Both of those were worse, NMS specifically was way worse. Starfield isn't even at risk of a lawsuit. The fact that many people can say or support ideas like this vs Starfield while non-ironically going to bat for modern No Man's Sky is honestly pretty funny though.
Don’t release this game on PlayStation they just gonna say it runs better on PlayStation which gonna damage Xbox
In your dreams
Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga is more fun in space and planet exploration
Lets be real guys, all the games they made in the pass 20 sone years have sucked hard made good and kept alive purely through mods. The modders couldnt even fix or make the game good. Idk how ppl even had hope after the 76 stuff happened. Or the paid mods in skyrim to try and make money baco after bleeding out for so long.
Gg tod.
still a good game never mind all the bugs
Let’s hope for its resurgence then 🫡
it really isnt a good game
Why not graphically is beautiful details massive open world better than fallout 4 and good story and good voice acting makes me feel am living in space
It's not bad
I like fallout 4 but always wanted something same but in space
Forget about bugs and glitches look at the art and story
cut my losses and moved on ... to older games that actually are good
Like Skyrim 🫡
“Brand knew” so what he means is, it’s going to be half-assed.
you can't even spell, so this comment is half-assed xD
Time of this Comment. 19/04/24
Fallout 4: 52,232 Players in-game *steam*
Starfield: 2,609
I Own both games + own most Bethesda Open World Titles and i am one of players in Fallout 4 while listening to this and i just shake my head when i think of Starfield and think i could of brought something else for the $130 i paid for the Shattered Waste of money ill probably never play cos the Core Game is SO bad.....
Crazy numbers. Simply unbelievable.
The game feels smaller than both elder scrolls and fallout which is weird considering the vastness of space
Exactly! Probably due to the procedural nature of it
technically its one planet, repeat reloaded with randomized different assets. other plantes on the "map" are just icons to illuse you there are many
@@ThisIsGAMEBREAKER TBH the game actually has like 300+ hours of unique hand crafted content. But people are so brainwashed to "turn off brain, visit nearest POI" that after realizing they didn't like proc gen POIs (which is fair, many criticisms about them are valid) THEY KEPT GOING TO THEM. I think they brainwashed an entire generation into not knowing how to explore an open world game on their own with Skyrim. People didn't explore Skyrim or discover things, not really, people just went from UI marker to UI marker led around by the nose. And so they kept visiting the proc gen stuff and missed most of the handcrafted content.
Ironically despite the complaints about exploration, Starfield actually does reward exploration alot more. Realizing quickly the naming scheme/setup of proc gen POIs you start looking for uniquely named POIs and you do so from the star maps or in cities. You listen for conversations, you talk to people, you follow up leads, and you find the content. instead of just someone with a dog treat in front of you saying "this way puppy, now this way puppy, ok now this way puppy" instead you're more self directed in Starfield. You hear stuff is going on in the well and this pops up in your activities log like a journal note. So now you gotta find where the well is and then go poke around. And in doing so you find a bunch of quests and small storylines down there. You walk around and explore and talk to a scientiest who's all about this dang tree and get tired up on a scientific dispute. In Skyrim almost all of this woulda been spoon fed to you to make sure the little helpless puppy didn't miss it. Right down to sending couriers to start quests telling you exactly where to go.
Ironically I think the modern Skyrim audience would hate a new Elder Scrolls game that behaved like Morrowind and gave you freedom and required you to explore self directed and put stuff together yourself.
@Ralathar44 I enjoyed morrowind. It required you to explore, but starfields exploration hits differently. I can deal with the loading between doorways and cave entrances better than I can with the loading between planet--> to space--> to orbit of new planet--> to new surface landing. These breakups make it feel much more like small broken chunks instead of one large cohesive world, and it hurts my immersion. I find it very easy to drop this game after an hour vs morrowind, fallout NV, skyrim, oblivion, or FO4 which keep me hooked for multiple hours. I finished star field only twice and it was through the shear force of willpower that I got there. I'm not saying it's a bad game but I will say it's my least favorite of the group.
@@djohn2591 You can actually cut out like half the loading screens if you do as much traveling from the cockpit as possible.
Personally, as video game QA, I have no illusion that any game is anything but smaller broken chunks and the loading screens are eyeblink long so they didn't bother me. But I'm not gonna say you're wrong by being bothered by them. If you can maintain the illusion of a single large cohesive world in a game then by all means go for it.
But for example in a game like Elden Ring or Horizon Zero Dawn i'm completely aware of the general spawn radius and how stuff im not looking at either isnt being rendered or doesn't even exist at that moment or etc.
You get upset that you can see the man behind the curtain. But I'm ALWAYS aware of the man behind the curtain. TBH if anything it only increases my enjoyment of games because when it (ofc) turns out to be the illusion of choice (I'm looking at your Bladur's Gate 3 act 3) instead of actual choice I'm already expecting it. And when the game pulls tricks to make its tiny viable playspace around you look like its a big seemless open world I'm aware of that too. I don't need to see cut scenes or spawn ins to know that. I know a reasonable amount of how the sausage is made lol.
IMO something like loading screens and the idea of a single seemless world is a marketing gimmick. It's literally all in your head. i care more about how something plays, its writing, its story, its progression, its economy, its exploration, its economy, etc. But, I don't blame the industry for marketing things like that to yall. Clearly its effective as your reply demonstrates. But one day, with enough time and experience, that illusion will break for you too. It's only a matter of time.
I really enjoy in Starfield.
I dodged a bullet, I'm a big Sci fi games fan but when I learned the exploration is on foot plus some woke nonsense in the game I said nope, they not getting my money
RIP Bethesda
Hah! That's crazy. 23/24 is literally peak Bethesda. Starfield was in the top 10 played games last year (when it only released in sep), and its still played by 300k players every day, and more than 5million players in the past month.
Add to that the huge boost to all the fallout games after the brilliant fallout show... Bethesda is ontop of the world.
Starfield was dead on arrival
Absolutely.
maybe if Starfield was not advised on by companies like Sweet Baby Inc, and thrown under the ESG/DEI buss, then maybe it would have stayed played... but you know the saying folks, you go woke, you go broke.... hell, i was even looking at the game until i learned of SBI's involvement.. and then off the wishlist it went....
The game is awful. It’s one of the worst of 2023, in my opinion. At least with redfall you were able to have a few drinks with your pals and make fun of the game. With Starfield, it’s so damn boring you can’t do that.
Another negative “this game is bad” video... Desperate for views… I really enjoyed Starfield for a solid 60 hours. So to hell with your opinion. Go make a better game.
No, this is a heartfelt video. Because many better games were made, yet not this promoted, yet without the _space_ this game had. Also, we welcome your opinion. But don’t act like 60 hours of a game is that much: you wrote it like it was an accomplishment getting to those 60 hours..
Get rid of the Woke DEI LGBTQABSKDFJFTGROEWLDKFGR bullshit and it'll pick right up.
