I think the most “fun” i had was with the game was the crimson pirates questline and the colonial marines style questline (though I will admit, the ending wasnt as satisfying as I would of wished). Its a shame because those questline were far more “fun” and interesting than the actual main quest.

Still no very fun tbh. No matter how hard I try I literally cannot enjoy exploring an empty planet.

The idea of the very first crumb of an idea for a game not being fun baffles me

I love Starfield. I don’t understand what all the hubbub is, could be the extremely high precedent set by previous Bethesda games but I think the backlash is unwarranted. It’s literally all the other Bethesda games, but improved.

It’s Bethesda, man. How many times do we need to go through this? HOW MANY FCKING TIMES?

Stop buying things based on nolstagia or hype, it never ends well. EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Rocksteady and soooooo many more. How many more examples do we need to stop behaving like children without an ounce of self respect and control?

Starfield is not fun.

Starfield is such a grand disappointment. I wanted that game to be fun more than most. Even with mods it can’t be fixed. The bones of this game are broken

It’s 2024 and I’m still trying to find the “Fun”.

They should make a dlc around ships

Interestingly enough. I played the game for 200 hrs and then I finally found the fun.
I think the reason for that is there are a lot of mechanics and interactions in the game and they don’t work the way you’d think at first. So many things are implemented counterintuitively and are pverlooked. Designers worked a lot but they forgot about UX

America, on all levels, is starting to pick up some bad habits. “You will enjoy this because your betters say so.”

What video is this clip from?

Starfield is a sandbox game with too much sand and not enough toys.

The most important thing that a game needs to be IS fun! We play games because it’s what’s fun for us! If there’s a time where video games in general are no longer fun at all, we would definitely stop playing for good. When it comes to games with a story, if the story’s good and the actual gameplay is fun, that’s all you need!

Todd: “Don’t worry, the modders will make it fun!”

Bet.

It reminds me how Uncharted 3 felt, where they had the levels and set pieces made then designed the story around those locations, except the other way around. I’m pretty sure someone at ND said something around that.

I was replaying Mass Effect recently and you can play especially part two and three and see how much better that is than starfield. The writing is better acting is better. It’s just all around a better product.

I enjoyed Starfield quite a bit

I hate starfield but the ship customization was fun enough to be it’s own small game on steam

Who here thinks getting to the Moon was more fun because it was a race, and one side was losing right up to the finish line?

Just play No Man’s Sky lol

Pre-production is explicitly for finding the fun and proving that the game is marketable as an enjoyable game

It was a mid game overall

I mean, how do you define that? There are a lot of things which sound fun in theory but aren’t in practice. Often you need to simplify complex systems or rework others to make it so. When you’re first building the game I doubt it feels fun anyway.

A vast majority of games aren’t fun to be fair lol.

My fun ran out sometime after 50 hours, and I can’t bring myself to play Shattered Space, and that’s a shame

This way of thinking sound ridiculous. Shouldn’t “fun” be the first thing you try to accomplish and not try to find it later, lol but what I do I know, I’m not a game dev. I’m just trying to find the fun, too.

The pirate faction quest was probably my favorite part of the game. Really enjoyed that quest line.

I started with fun for “Manboobs the Mini Game”

starfield doesnt deserved to get bombed but it doesnt deserve praise either
the mixed rating is perfect rating for this game

And sadly, the deep lore in Fallout and Elderscrolls just wasn’t there. I have never given-up on a Major Bethesda game after only a few hours—I did with Starfield. I’m deeply saddened by that. Why Bethesda? Why have you forsaken us?

Ship Customization **IS** fun – right up until reality sets in and you understand that you didn’t build a spaceship to fly, but instead just added 2 to 4 extra loading screens to the game.

I feel the same about all Bethesda games. They all feel so bland and soulless.

Ship customization is not nearly enough to have fun with a game

They jack the ship customization from kingdom hearts one, reskin it and everybody says it has redeeming qualities. Should have just made a ship building sim. 😅

Starfield is amazing stop bashing it because it’s what everyone else is doing to get views.

Star field is concepts of a plan😂. I firmly believe leadership in Bethesda needs to be reviewed and probably the first person who needs to be fired is Emil

Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion: $20 and 40 hours worth of content

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty: $30 and 22 hours worth of content and came alongside with a free update that overhauled the base game

Zelda Breath of the Wild DLC: $20, includes new shrines and challenges, new items and costumes, the motorcycle and a harder mode

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Torna the golden Country: $30, a new campaign that takes around 40 hours and new content and challenges for the base game

Shadow of the Erdtree: basically a new game sold as DLC for Elden Ring, also $30

All of which makes Shattered space look more embarrassing

Waiting on your opinion on IGN’s review on sparking zero.

That’s what I’ve been saying since that interview!

I’m calling it now, The Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna be either Hot Garbage or INCREDIBLY MID AND C TIER. The former is most likely.
They refuse to use a different engine.
They don’t know how to direct their Voice Actors.
All the Voice Acting in their games is wooden and emotionless.
The Writers are Hot Garbage.
And ESPECIALLY the Combat in their games is Dog Ass, and Modders end up coming into their games and make the game better.

The conclusion is Starfield is mid

Let’s face it, the fact that nothing seems to give, (I.e from bad reviews, previous bomb release of 76, continuous usage of the Creation engine with no improvements on game quality, poor direction in Shattered Space DLC, did I mention they released Skyrim again on the Tesla car? Jk and etc) Bethesda Game studios will never do anything better. They are done. They are in it for your money, the community that funds them backs them up, so they can care less. This constant war for a better game and an Elder 6 will never happen because they will never change. War never changes.

They are taking a long time to roll out basic updates or even the dlc.
You would think that means there is variety in those additions.But no,most of it is still recycled/reused content.
Even some oblivious QOL content for Starfield are yet to implement this long after release.
Instead gamers have to rely on modders to impement it.

Starfield seems like it barely has a story so I’m not really too surprised by the fact that people are having trouble having fun. All the best things that they’ve created were made a long time ago by different people who have belong since left the company.

The best thing that they’ve probably made in the last 10 years is the fallout TV show and I really don’t think they had much to do with that.
