  • In this video, I talk about Starfield and why it is genuinely brilliant. If you're a fan of sci-fi games this is a must play, and is an out-of-this-world gaming experience, one you should definitely play before the Shattered Space DLC comes out.
    #starfield #starfieldgame #starfieldgameplay #starfieldupdate #starfieldreview #xbox
    Let's get one thing straight, this game is far from perfect. There are a fair few things that are wrong with the game, as there are with a lot of games, and there are somethings that admittedly are flat out unacceptable in a modern day release. But in an overall sense, this is one of the most fun games I have played in a really long time. One that I would argue is quintessentially Bethesda.
    To be perfectly honest, I first played this game right when it was available on game pass. As a fan of Fallout 4 (another controversial opinion I know), I figured if what bethesda was selling was a Fallout game but in space, it would be a perfectly good way of passing the time. And since it was on xbox game pass I didn't have to spend any more money that I wasn't already spending.
    However the more I played, the more I understood that this game is a slow burn, all the things that I initially saw as boring, such as the questing just got better and better the more I played the game. Even the ship combat which I vowed I would do as little as possible at the start of my play through became so much more fun the more I progressed the game with different ships, perks, and just larger scale combat. The general combat also got more fun as I got more perks, powers and guns.
    It turned out Starfield is Genuinely Brilliant!

    I had never played a Bethesda game previous to this year, yet I’m having a blast playing Starfield. It’s a game for a more mature audience as there isn’t much sex, cursing, or drugs (from what I’ve seen), and it’s a really nice change of pace for someone like myself who also enjoys GTA. In Starfield the world isn’t out to get you, it’s waiting for you to explore it by meeting new people, forging new relationships, and getting thrown into unique situations. The choices I make during a quest-line have an affect on the outcome of the situation and also what other people believe or don’t believe, like the Terrormorph questline. Also, you receive exclusive spaceships, spacesuits, clothes, accessories, and official titles by completing these quests.

    Just checked my stats and I have played Starfield for a collective amount of 11 days and 13 hours (277hrs) and been having a blast. Did all of the main and faction quests, did most if not all of the side content, made some cool ships and outposts, I even NG+ a couple of times. Now with that being said, how is anyone able to play a game for 500 hours or more and still not like it? I understand not feeling it within the first 2-5 hours and put it down but to trudge through a game that you don't even like for that long is crazy! Just rage playing the game, not even enjoying what they're doing

      ​@@TahmidHOI completely understand why people were frustrated with the lack of maps. Ideally, a toggle to enable/disable them would have been available at launch - but for me their absence complemented the core themes of exploration and discovery in a profound way.
      It forced me to engage with the world in a manner I've never quite experienced in a game before. I wasn't just going from A to B - I was learning the city and remembering directions to points of interest as I played. Not just in the usual form of muscle memory that comes from repetitive play, but active observation of the world around me.
      Again - 100% get how that wouldn't interest most people, but it was an essential part of my experience with Starfield.

      @@MexiRambo It's funny you mention that specific quest because there's actually several different options you have for resolving it. I understand the sentiment, "I wish I could throw him in jail" but the fact that he attacks you instead of willingly being arrested is not really immersion breaking.
      In that quest you could simply accept his bribe, Keep Rons secret without the bribe which is essentially the same as before without money.
      Then you can choose not to keep his secret which considering the character of Ron Hope sort of makes sense why he would rather kill you out right than sit there and go quiet to jail.
      In this aspect I would say this game was better than Skyrim but worse than Fallout 4 and 3.

    @Metaphix 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Glad you like it but how is exploration in this one better than their previous titles? Previous games every dungeon was hand crafted and had little details of their own to uncover. That's what made me fall in love with BGS games, the exploration. In starfield you get repeat locations a lot. Like abandoned UC listening post, and abandoned lab. Each time the locations- down to corpse placement, lootable boxes, enemy locations, even notes are identical. So i cant see how exploring the same 20 or 30 locations over and over is better exploration than hundreds of unique locations that feel slightly samey but are all unique. Especially the notes/terminals/journals being the same every time man that really killed it for me.

      Think your looking at previous games with rose tinted glasses. Almost every draugr ruin was practically the same thing. This game at the very least has varied terrain due to the fact it's not shoehorned into having one "theme". I.e it doesn't need to all be the snowy ruins of Skyrim or Post apocalyptic of fallout

You cant swim in starfield but you could in skyrim. Guards reacted to your shouts but now they dont even react to bullets flying at their feet. And thats just their own game im talking about. you compare it to any heavy hitter game that came out recently and you can see why people were disappointed with the game.

    I agree. It's not perfect. I'd argue it's not even finished yet. And I don't like how they are using monetization (or rather over monetization).
    However, what I've played: I have enjoyed thoroughly
    I lost interest after about 200 hours during it's release. And treated it much like I did Skyrim: I'll play a little each year. Watch how the game evolves, what modders do to it, see what DLC's add, and watch it grow.
    This was not a great game on day one. Rather, it created a foundation for a great game to be built upon. Time will tell if that comes to fruition.

  • @Hysorn
    @Hysorn 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Honestly, I assumed pretty early on that my problem with the game is exactly that it's the quintessential Bethesda game, which I enjoyed up until around like 2016 but eventually I just grew bored of it, open worlds games just don't do it for me anymore. I can't bring myself to play Oblivion, Skyrim or any of the Fallout games after 2 anymore, but what usually gets me is the writing, Bethesda's style of writing is very... Bland and descriptive, which in turn doesn't give the voice actors a lot to work with, so you just sit there listening to NPCs talk in an almost monotone voice for several minutes while doing nothing, and shit, I got high tolerance for lengthy dialogue, both when it comes to listening or reading, after all, CRPGs are my favorite types of games, but Starfield just couldn't hold my attention, add to that a very "outdated" core gameplay for the lack of a better word and the game lost my interest very quickly.
    Thankfully I wasn't really hyped for Starfield so I didn't really get disappointed when I didn't end up enjoying the game. I truly hope Bethesda learn some lessons from Starfield in order to make TES6 an amazing game, I may not enjoy Skyrim's gameplay or Bethesda's game design in general anymore, but TES' lore still holds a special place in my heart and I will probably end up playing it anyways.

      This sounds great. I think I did see a mod that randomizes battles/encounters more. Like enemies will call for reinforcements more often - and you'll also stumble across far more battles between factions. I even saw it may have regular POIs suddenly get invaded by opposing factions as well so you aren't the ONLY guy in the galaxy trying to loot a place and it makes it feel more alive. The POI system was simply not filled out enough. It was almost like they created a base for modders to create masterpieces with. However, it's taken a long ass time to start arriving at more content like this that I wish we could have just had from launch!

    I disagree. I think the game is terrible. It has improved in some quality of life ways, but I don't think it fixed the core problems. That said, I enjoyed seeing what you liked about it. I did not find the writing or worldbuilding interesting or immersive but I did like Neon better than other areas. To me it fails even in comparison to most Bethesda games. The side content is definitely where it is at though! I found that avoiding random radiant quests and locations and focussing on the sidequests improved my experience a lot.
    (Also Arasaka and Ryujin both take their inspiration from classic cyberpunk writing which was full of 1980s economic fears about the power and influence of a strong Japan.)

    Thank you for making this video bc this game gets such a bad rep and it’s the reason I didn’t play it for such a long time. I’m a nerd who’s obsessed with astronomy and I was excited to check this game out. But when I finally got my Xbox Series X and I heard all the bad reviews, I decided not even bother. Then one day while another game was updating, I saw I had some extra space, so I said what the hell. The best decision I’ve made this year. I absolutely LOVE this game. I’ve had it for maybe 3 weeks and I’ve put it over 55 hours. It’s football season and I rather play this game than watch football. I abandon my own family during football season, and now I rather play Starfield. Just to give people perspective lol. So that’s why I can’t understand for the life of me some of the complaints this game has received. How can people say there’s nothing to do lmaoooo. There is nothing BUT things to do. You can’t even finish a mission without stumbling into 2 other missions you can do later. Love the customization. Love the variety of missions so you can mix it up. The details and lore are impeccable as well. Is the game perfect?? No. But the potential for this game is endless. They have built the foundation to add on to this game for years to come. 1000 worlds they can continue to build onto???? Can’t wait to see what more they come up with #TeamStarfield

    I love the gameplay but I hate the world. Everything about it feels wrong. Like how the Free Star Collective must have billions of citizens, but the Freestar Rangers is composed of five people and they have the owner of a strip mall space station on their council of governors. The game should have been set right after the evacuation of Earth, after an apocalypse that killed 99% of the population (that would still leave 100 million people) or more. That would be a perfect setting for pirates, poverty, and settlement building.

    Starfield is by no means perfect, but it isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
    The main quest is where it falls flat for me, but that's the case for every Bethesda game imo. starfield's main quests really makes you think towards the end before the unity, it gives you a choice of morality which i really enjoyed and wished there was more of. The UC vanguard quest/Ryujin/Crimson fleet questlines are all great and blew me away on first playthrough, and they really felt like the true Bethesda styled questlines, and reminded me so much of old Bethesda games.
    the gameplay is easily the best out of all Bethesda games, gunplay/ship battles feel great. and ship building is phenomenal.
    My only complaint there being that melee kinda sucks, and the gun variety is poor.
    I really liked the addition of the "persuade" in dialogue but it feels like they focused too much on that and let go of a lot of other dialogue features that i miss.
    starfield is by no means perfect, but it is not a bad game either, its a solid 7/10 for me, with potential to grow higher with future dlcs. as all Bethesda games start to shine with their dlcs In my opinion.
    skyrim with no dlc wouldnt be nearly as fun for me, same with oblivion and fo4.

    I honestly keep going back to it. I can say that I’ve never wasted money on a Bethesda game. When you compare what some other developers are offering at the same price point, but that’s his games have always been a bargain in my opinion. I have returned to Skyrim fallout and Starfield all this year and have pumped in another 2 to 3 dozen hours into the games. I hardly ever do that with other games. Not only do I like to return to the atmospheres that they have created, but to see what mods or updates have done to the game progressively just keeps the replay value far greater than other games. For single player atmospheric games I think Bethesda still offers the absolute best for your money.

    Upon release, I thought the game was meh. I rushed through the whole game to see this "New Game+". I didn't spend enough time anywhere to appreciate aspects of the game, and I let the internets opinion of this game ruin my own.. But...
    I'm currently 200 hours into my second playthrough, and I feel so incredibly immersed in this game and have not grown tired of it. Incredible story lines and characters, a well thought out universe, and some INCREDIBLY beautiful planets if you are willing to give exploration a chance.
    Once this game started getting hate, for things like 30fps on console at launch, no seemless launching/landing off of worlds, and IMO the MISUNDERSTANDING that all planets are barren of content, people just ran with the hate and it snowballed. I think many of us who love the game now were influenced by this hate at launch. This game wasn't given a fair chance and I hope after a few DLCs people come back and just play the game for what it is, I think they will thoroughly enjoy it

    For me, not having a map helped highlight the amazing job they did with the in-game directions. Knowing i want to go somewhere (like the trade authority), finding a kiosk that will tell me which district its in, then using the signs to find my way there, slowly memorizing the city layout, in my mind, is so much better than placing a marker and following the big glowy thing.
    This is not to excuse not having a map though. Just because i liked it is no excuse for not having one in a game about exploration in 2023.

    Its an ok game. The real problem is that with the sheer amount of time they had to work on this game. I just expected a more refined experience on par with Skyrim. Better armor crafting, weapon crafting aesthetically speaking. Dragonborn 2.0 powers didnt look or sound more unique in terms of magic space powers to LOOK more cool and have more impactul gameplay. Not be weaker than a single bullet.
    Another issue is the vast majority of NPC's are all preachy as hell, and no real way to be who you want your character to be. IE good or bad Starborn which the game explicitly says you should do what you want. But every scripted reaction is always negative almost always. Nothing like Skyrims nuance with Dark brotherhood and thieves guild with actual rewards
    My final real issue is just the starborn items themselves and how just... Mediocre but cool looking they are. Its like they intentionally developed 99% of the games armor and ships to look meh, but the ONE cool upgrades arent good statewise and cant even be upgraded without replaying the game 10x over, and they STILL get less than ideal stats even at max playthroughs

    After returning to SF since I've last played it at the start of '24, I'm noticing that people are still complaining about all the things this game isn't, instead of appreciating that Bethesda really tried something new and imo did something special. Yes, there are bugs, but that's expected from a BGS title honestly, and it's been this way for at least 15 years; aka it's something that likely won't change. But SF offers something that so many players seem to be completely unaware of: It takes its' time to unfold.
    It seems to me that more and more people are unwilling or unable to take their time with something and appreciate it. Starfield won't work for someone who only wants instant gratification and results or who doesn't understand subliminal storytelling - or both. SF isn't Fortnite, it's not No Man's Sky, Star Citizen or Escape from Tarkov either. Hell, it's not even as close to Skyrim as so many people think it is. Skyrim itself is only remembered so fondly because there's a billion mods for it that lengthened the llife-cycle of that game. To me, it has always been pretty boring, I was always more of a Fallout fan tbh. But it doesn't matter here.
    What I'm trying to say is that in order to understand and appreciate Starfield, you have to take your time with it and let it sink in. The storytelling and quest system, while not flawless, is still deeper than what any of the previous modern Bethesda have offered so far. The fact that it's not something you're going to rush through to get your hourly dopamine hit is something that we should be thankful for, especially in the gaming world of today where most AAA-games aren't much more than giant microtransaction advertisements.

    I always loved Starfield but it's probably b/c I had no expectations & no need to play it but all the videos (majority the bad ones) mad me want to try it when it came out free on gamepass. Man I had a blast & right now it fits into how I would play games after I completed them but didn't want to start over. I would make my own missions in my head. Like even gta 5 I played a lot of hours after I had completed the game. I was basically just a tow truck driver with Franklin or I would do supply runs with Trevor. Same with saints row 2. I did every u can do mission & faction wise & even activity wise. The main thing that hooked me was the UC faction quest. The factions were damn near games by themselves. I've went into damn near every system in the game. Not solar but things u can do. I never thought I would get into ship bubuilding b/c it looked to difficult but then at a time seeing everyone's ships on youtube made me want to invest time & skill points into ship building & piloting. It's krazy b/c that journey of becoming a pilot & master ship building along. So doing these things in between was just like living my life & working b/c the main mission doesn't pay u like that. I invested in the commerce skill. I was master weapon building, working on suit building, b4 I stopped. But the shattered space dlc made me come back to get back used to the game. Now ive been sucked into surveying planets & having a ball...KRazy how ive only been back 5 to 6 days & they've added the buggy so I dont have to jetpack everywhere to get resources

For example, with BG3, Fextralife's wiki used information from the tabletop game instead of actual in-game data. Fextralife also has a tendency to abandon their wikis after the FOTM period is over - this results in the aforementioned barebones wiki full of empty templates, incorrect/outdated information, etc.
      Some people also simply dislike them for embedding their Twitch stream on the wiki so they can pad viewers. It's not against Twitch's rules, but it comes across as disingenuous. That, and Fextralife's wiki tends to top community-made wikis in search results. Traffic that could've gone to an actually maintained wiki ends up going to Fextralife and that doesn't sit well with a lot of people.

    I’m ok with someone liking this game but they always make excuses for the game justifying it’s flaws when it lauch it got a lot criticism and people calling this the best game of the year that should get award and was being told that this was the next Skyrim not even close and no the factions and consequences are not like Fallout new Vegas your off your gourd with that one

    You're entitled to your opinion and personal experience, but I personally found neon to be one of the most underwhelming and poorly constructed major environments, and questlines, in any Bethesda title. Aside from the railroad in fallout 4 (what even was that)
    The on-the-rails Benjamin bayu questline. Mundane parcel packing job, for no reward at the end of the quest. Just some drab dialogue from the bartender. I had the most fun infiltrating the place to do the thing...
    This game has strengths, but the god awful quest design, world structure, and writing are it's greatest downfall. Amongst other drawbacks.

    Honestly, I enjoyed a lot of aspects of this game. The questing is a step up from their previous titles. The worlds tend to feel very undercooked, especially compared to their previous titles where the entire thing was handcrafted. Major cities are cool, but their immediate surroundings are not, and that sense of wonder from exploration is, ironically, the weakest in this game out of any of their previous titles because of that. This _should_ be the game with the best exploration, but it's actually the shallowest when it comes to that.
    The procedural generation tools they created for this game are genuinely impressive, especially after giving the Creation Kit a look, it's very powerful stuff and creates very convincing worlds, albeit barren ones. The random outposts and points of interest do not have enough variations to justify the vast majority of the game being procedurally generated. I would've preferred 5-10 small planets with way more handcrafted points of interest than what we ended up getting.

    I really really want to love Starfield but I just can't. I'm not able to develop feelings for this game. I just don't care about it. It was my most anticipated release the last years and I really had to force myself to keep playing. Deinstalled and installed it like 5 times already. Every 3 weeks or so I want to give it another chance because maybe I just was not in the right mood the last time but there's nothing everytime I start it. Started my 15th or so Skyrim run like 3 weeks ago and everyday I spent hours exploring Skyrim even tho I know everything already. Starfield does not give me that in the slightest. The comparison to Skyrim is a harsh one I know but Starfield just did not give me anything. Right now I'm installing it again to give it another try and I will keep on doing so until I have the fun I expected to have. But Starfield to me personally just feels somehow shallow and I doubt this will change over time. I was excited for the modding community to have a great impact on the game but Bethesda does not want modders to improve their games anymore. Various actions by Bethesda over the last years prove this. Overall Starfield shattered all my hopes and deams about The Elder Scrolls 6. I still can't really put in words my feelings towards Starfield. One word that comes to my mind is sad. I really don't want to ruin the game for the people that enjoy it.
