Further proof that nobody at Bethesda has ever seen a gun before.

Bethesda has never made good gun designs ever 😂

Bro complaining about science fiction guns

I could live with the other issues if the reload animations were proper. Sad day when Halo has more realistic reload animations for completely fictional weapons.

Tell me you know nothing about weapons with out telling me you know nothing about about weapons I’ll go first 😂

All these squares make a circle

this is what happens when devs of a game based around shooting are afraid of guns

Bethesda try to do literally anything correctly challenge impossible

Who cares.

even if you discount the aesthetics of starfields guns, they’re all still either terrible or not great. many shouldn’t even be able to function. i especially dislike the old world shotgun and the fact you pump it a little back and a lot forward, it’s very weird. the gun in the video looks like they just ripped some of the animations from fallout 4s 10mm and slapped them on this gun. the elevator sounds are ripped straight from f4, i noticed it immediately. apparently this is meant to be todds dream game, i think todds been mistaking nightmares for dreams

It’s a Rob Liefeld gun

I wouldn’t be suprised if they based it on AI generated designs

Reminds me of someone from the number company, some weapon designer that claimed to hate guns, while actively working on fps titles

That’s right it goes in the square hole

Has anyone seen Star Trek? Why are we picking apart an obviously unrealistic not supposed to be realistic fake video game? 😂 guys need some lives

I don’t think Bethesda knows what a gun is.

It’s a open bolt slide the slide goes to the rear and you can see the bullet fill the open slide. This guy is retarded

This is what happens when you only hire liberals at your office There’s no one with common sense For a lot of bethesdas gun designs You don’t even need to have firearm knowledge / experience to know these concepts are moronic 😂

Looking at this thing, now I’m pretty sure they bought models for bolts/barrels/recoil springs and mashed them together into these monstrosities

Not to be on Bethesda’s side but they could just bullshit it and say it’s magnetic

The guns in this game are just so ugly outside of the old world shit and they still fucked those guns up.

Bethesda has proven with every single game they make that they have no idea how guns actually work. mods with new gun animations is the first thing i download everytime and some of these animation packs are crazy good. New vegas with these mods and better bullet decals/gore is just perfect

oh god its all in caps too, here is one of the cases-
mysterious case of:
CIRCLE BULLETS SHOT FROM SQUARE GUN

Worst gun design ever just barely surpassing fo4.

I thought we already established years ago that Bethesda has no clue what a gun is it how they work. Are we just gonna keep doing this forever? We all know Bethesda will not do any better anytime soon

Bethesda is hilariously bad at weapons design. They need to ask Cig for help because star citizen’s guns look awesome and they are designed to look properly functiona, even the alien ones.l

For reference, regarding the ironsights. You’re only supposed to use your front sight post, the rear aperture is supposed to sort of create a space for your eye to make an easier sight alignment. So, even though the rear aperture is pretty much worthless you can still put shots on target by looking at the front sight post.

Uhm… A round bullet in a squared chamber? So, what makes the bullet spin? You know, Newton’s first law “an object in motion, stays in motion” and all that…Too complicated Bethesda? Okay.

This is hilarious

Wasting all this time editing and recording lmao

Iron sights argument is silly. A pistol wasn’t designed with precision in mind. It has a wide iron sight window for quicker target acquisition when pulling up to aim in a combat scenario. Do I think the game devs did that on purpose? No. That being said it’s a silly criticism from narrator.

its called fun and creativity

It’s from Bethesda so of course the guns look like shit…just look at the vanilla guns in Fallout 4 which are awfully designed, as well.

it’d be crazy if they would hire someone who knew about guns to be their advisor here’s the thing. Most people that play video games have no idea as well. It’s the very far few that do you understand that it bothers

Garbage

Cursed guns…

but the visuals look pretty good. Must be running some decent ray tracing/radiosity mods.

i like how borderlands 1 has more realistic weapons than this

God. We get it! Devs obviously didnt care about realism. This entire game is ugly as sin, you really expect them to care about practical accuracy?

i didnt read the title and thought “did bethesda design this?” then i read it and it’s fucking starfield.

Who gives a shit it’s just a game stop nit picking everything

Square ammo would do more damage to the turks

So?

Thats right, it goes in the square hole

The bolt doesn’t pick up a round from the magazine because it’s completely behind it. Unless it’s a piston?

The gun feels like its just a jonky remodel of the 10mm pistol from Fallout 4… 🤦

And a lightsaber can hold a beam that melts metal holded by metal 😂

I think it’s a case of to many cooks in the kitchen/too many hands on. You prob had one guy prototyping a rough idea, another guy creating the game model, and another guy creating the animations. With all of them having little to no firearms knowledge. It ends up like a game of telephone as it passes through different hands, and the final product ends up being kinda weird and nons3nsical in how itbworks

Could have been where the animators were just given models they’ve never even seen before, and told to animate them without any diagrams or explanations of what parts do what.

If this is what you worry about, you need other priorities

thats right, it goes in the square hole

Bethesda just doesn’t understand firearms. They need to hire people who actually know how to design weapons. The last 3 games they’ve made have had HORRIBLE weapon design. Fallout 4 weapons were ASS, fallout 76 weapons were ASS, star field weapons are ASS

You know this game is something i dont even care about not coming to ps5

it’s what you get when you assign people who hate guns to designing guns.

I got into pretty heated arguments about aesthetic designs in games. From fauna to vehicles.

I shared how subnautica was a resounding success in all those aspects, whereas Bethesda fallout is the opposite. They put massive budgets on these games but they can’t even hire a biologist, a gun smith, or an automotive engineer, let alone a basic mechanic as a consultant for designs? But by god, they hire sweet baby or Keanu Reeves because yes.

Despite popular misconception, the round object fits into the square hole just fine

Bethesdas legendary attention to detail

Bethesda really trying its hardest to hold onto the record for most cursed gun designs

Man, wait until you hear about fireable mini-nukes in their other work of fiction video game.

Guarantee the weapon designers for the game were some fresh college graduates with zero experience with firearms

It just doesn’t work anymore.

They just wanted to reuse their fallout 4 animation

These are like the scifi guns I drew in high school before I learned about the mechanics
Surface level knowledge

Trust me, Nikke has better gun designs than Bethesda. Enven though there are some pure fiction. But some has realistic design and real life refference.

I refuse to believe a human made those weapons it has to be some type of AI

BUT ITS FUTURISTIC!!!!!!!!!!

SQUAREEE!!!

That’s right!
The Square Hole!

Where does the 9mm bullet go? That’s right! The square hole!

Serious question but has there ever been a gun with a square barrel?
I’m not an expert at all but every piece of gun knowledge i have tells me that it’s insanely stupid (even worse if the bullet is actually square).

How many times do we have to explain it. IT JUST WORKS

Im so fucking tired of content whores going deep into gun function in a game with multiverses and invisible squid pack hunters.

We get it, its sci fi

I too hate when my space army video game doesn’t have 100% accurate space guns and weapons

Square barrel is crazy 😭 it would be different if it didn’t shoot bullets

That’s right, the square hole

Brother eeeeewwwww

It just works

“It just works”

I thought this was Cyberpunk until I saw those boo boo ass gun mechanics. Cyberpunk would never.

That amount of shit people want to talk on Bethesda rn is crazy

that’s right, it goes in the square hole

When you typical Californian anti-gun dude is in charge of designing a gun.

IT JUST WORKS

the rifling must be rotary based i guess

the iron sights are misaligned

b but every right holes is

the square hole

It’s because some people are triggered by realistic firearms, so they made the most absurd looking and functioning weapons possible.

It’s not even going far back enough that a round from the magazine would be chambered in front of what looks like the bolt?

Perhaps its not the barrel but a flash supressor that you see

talk about helldivers weapons! i know they have some good details but there’s also a lot of goofiness going on there!

Clearly designed by a liberal who doesn’t know shyte about guns

Just now realized itsyaboybrandon’s profile picture is a man in a balaclava

With a sci fi weapon, im fine with it not making sense…

Now calling a world war lmg an assault rifle? Yeah wtf bethesda

“It goes in the square hole.”

Bethesda cannot do guns to save their lives.

The sight isn’t centered….

You can actually see the bolt face and trunnion. So it is connected. It’s basically a shotty version of an AK’s bolt with an AR style lugs on the bolt face. Funny thing is that the op rod is in the way of the ejection path and there is no ejector on the bolt, so good luck ejecting anything or clearing malfunctions.

Wait… the circle doesnt go into the square hole 🤯

But seriously the fact that toddlers are smarter than bethesda’s (gun) dev team is baffling to me. Like your telling me you get paid thousands for this… where can i sign up 😂

😂😂
Bwoo tooph devYCE

Bethesda never understood guns. Just take one hard look at Fallout 4. Terrible gun design, and they barely even feel like guns. They feel like glorified pea shooters

I mean you can’t clearly see it like you mentioned, but the idea that the sights are basically on a non-recipricating slide is, sorta cool?
Like a SCAR or roller-delayed HK sorta pistol? Idk where the slide is attacted to the bolt, but def a cool concept.
I could see the crack heads at Kel-Tec designing this.
*edit* after rewatching a couple times, perhaps the part of the slide towards the front sight, wraps down around the barrel to underneath, and has a tab to place force on the guide rod that you see moving in front of the bolt?

It’s the same animation as the 10mm in fallout that’s why

I mean it is a fictional gun

Bethesda try to improve their game design challenge – Impossible

Im convinced the entirety of starfield was made with ai. Theres no way people created the guns in this game.

It’s video game…. I hate virgins like this who have nothing going on in their life I need the overanalyze every single little detail about a trash video game instead of just calling it overwhelmingly garbage

It’s October 2024 and we’re still surprised that starfield is garbage?

I also don’t know if anybody else has noticed this, but the iron site is not properly centred it’s off a little bit to the left.

This is what happens when you use canned animations/rigs

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks Starfield was a good game

when devs have no idea how real firearms work and think it pure magic

Oh my god. They reskinned the 10mm from Fallout 4 and kept the animations. I can tell from first glance!

Absolutely to be that guy; If you look at the part of the video where you’re looking at the gun’s clip, With the bullet sticking out the top, The shell itself is square, The projectile is housed in the shell, Which disintegrates upon firing, Which (At least in Starfield) is what makes caseless ammo caseless! The more you know!♡

Bethesda is hiring cheaper and shittier developers. I mean look at 76

same reload animation as fo4 for the starting pistol …..

And the bolt doesn’t go back far enough to actually pick a cartridge.

“That’s right, the square hole”

IMO, the weapons don’t make any sense at all, but they look scifi and feel scifi, so that’s really all I care about even though I know they’re stupid I still like them

I swear the guns in this game are straight up AI generated

I love that bethesda shows you the bolt, something you almost never see in any other game. Such a small detail that’s never seen or appreciated. Only to skrew up LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

It’s a slide

“That right, it goes in the square!”

I find so funny how there’s , so many instances that writers way of making a “futuristic “ weapon is by adding a bunch of nonsense to a gun that would make it a worse weapon in real life when in real life we made weapons as perfect as they possibly can be.

there’s no need to reinvent the wheel we made that wheel superb and merching people.

Making fun of Bethesda for unrealistic guns is like making fun of minecraft for being square

The rest of what you said is right but how the fuck can iron sights be too skinny? Its hard as shit to make shots on fat posts. I fucking despised the first gun i ever shot cause of how hard it was to hit targets with its fat ass post.

All these squares make a circle…

The square barrel is peak Bethesda gin design.
Literally, “square peg round hole” level of intelligence

Glad I didn’t purchase this lame ass game😂

It is not real. Don’t stress yourself about it.

Look there is a certain charm to how fucking ugly some of Bethesda’s gun concepts are. I love the bulldog. The tombstone hurts my brain

It’s a sci fi gun it doesn’t have to be realistic. Next are you going to explain why warhammer 40k guns don’t work lmao

Starfield is mad tarded

Looks cool>functionality

It makes me happy to know that I can, and have, made better gun designs than Bethesda by myself. 😮

We all know the circle fits In the square hole.

What gun is that and how do I get it?

The magazine is also an inch or 2 behind where the bold is, so it would not be able to pick up a new round anyways.

They’re just literally making 💩 up as they go.

That’s the first thing I saw when inspecting the pistols was the stupid square barrel. Makes no sense at all

is that a tiny rebar?

Welp, I guess we’re doing circles now.

Goddamn, looks like they tried to put a locking lug on an M12 bolt 😂

In other words they didnt learn from fo4 🤦🏻‍♂️

You guys new to bethesda or something?

Not going i can be stickler about guns in games but like common guy lets just have fun an imagination

This just showed the entire bath bath dev team in 60 seconds 😂😂😂

I didn’t complain about Fallout 4’s Pipe Weapons existing, unlike the “assault rifle”. My big gripe on the design however it has misaligned feed making it more complex than it should which sort of defeat its purpose of “easy to make weapons”. That along with how it was implemented in the game, they should make it to have swappable ammo type with just a modification in a workbench but they missed that low hanging fruit.

The bolt doesn’t go back far enough to draw a bullet from the magazine.

Waited so long for this piece of sh*t game. I honestly feel hurt as a Bethesda fan. They seem to have given up.

Man I miss starfield

Damn. Sometimes people just try to make stuff that looks cool. Only for content and ad revenue did people even start going this deep on hating.

反正在快速射擊中，也不是這麼明顯
外觀有點外星的酷感就好
動作模組？ 隨便啦！找一個之前有的裝上去

Bro, this is just straight A.I shit

You want to bitch about bad gun design then go check the nonsense that Bungie came up with for destiny

Why is there rubar inside

Okay bethesda is uk based.

ai generated game art.
cost cutting
betcha

It looks like the sequel to Alphabet Soup, Geometric Salad

It’s as if they specifically hire anti-gun liberals who know literally nothing about guns to design all the guns in their games.

It’s powered by voodoo

Bethesda sure are some real square peg in a round hole type thinkers. Literally.

Why doesn’t Bethesda get I’d software to design for them?

It was probably made by people who are afraid of the second amendment lol

ew wtf is that iron sight? shit looks like it was designed in WW1

Still the best handgun in the game though

Judging by the clip, it looks like it fits.

Will you make a review of The Outer World’s weapons?

I hate Bethesda

You forgot to mention *the bolt is way too far freaking forward to reach the ammo in the magazine!* So wtf is feeding ammo into the chamber!?

Is it just me or does the silhouette look eerily
similar to the Fallout 4 10mm?

The devs created guns that I would create at the age of 14 in my notebook 😂😂

Brandy, your videos on how awful the guns in Starfield are is the biggest reason I was convinced to never pick this game up. If they couldn’t care to even half ass half the guns, which I might add is probably one of the BIGGEST parts of the game, then what does that say about the rest of the game?

I mean, I’ve already heard about how bad the rest of the game is. The guns being bad too is just another thing to add.

Millions of talented gun modelers with experience and knowledge of weapon operation and design waiting to work on bigger game… Nope. Let’s hire anyone who can make ai generated concept art and model it without asking any questions…

All These Squares Make A Circle

Sometimes there are questions I don’t want to have the answer for😢😢😢

Animations are fked but this thing low key looks dope.

Gosh, casual gun owners now are ratio’ing Bethesda.

That’s how you know their visual-design department is in need of an overhaul.

can we assume that according to bethesda sci fi = square shaped skeleton weapons?

Bethesda magic… It just works!😂

I think the hole’s square because the animators had no idea how caseless ammo works: They just assumed that the ammo is a block, thus, needs a square to fire out of.

TBF it might be a case of it being a round bullet with a square discarding sabot… still doesnt make it any less cursed, just that it might actually be possible ignoring everything else about the gun

It’s Nasapunk style. It’s punk because they are rebelling against basic geometry.

It’s like that Idiocracy scene where the MC is taking brain tests and it’s just people putting round pegs in square holes.

Overanalyzing stuff can be a good thought exercise but some suspension of disbelief doesnt hurt

“See this round bullet? That’s right, it goes in the square hole”

The Bluetooth lady caught me lackin loooooool

I am convinced they used AI to generate all the guns like wtf

I read the title and I still wasn’t prepared for the ending 😂

it shoots the whole bullet, 100% more bullet per bullet

I love how unique this looks but it’s hurting my soul and brain. Shoots like a revolver, looks like a revolver but isn’t a revolver. Pistol has me questioning my existence

How this gun works: Don’t judge me i have autism
How this gun works is weird but in some way makes sense when the slide is pulled back the chamber housing is also pulled back. The bullet goes up into the housing and the housing slides forwards cycling. Yes, it’s weird but it fuctions like the Sjorgen shotgun but a pistol.

Edit: Like a Sjorgen but a closed bolt version

It looks like a 10mm pistol from Fallout 4

The gun looks like the bolt was ripped from an open cover ak

That bluetooth pairing fucking killed me 😂

That’s what happens when you have 3D designers with zero knowledge of guns doing guns. They just shove stuff on top of it, hoping to look good! The same applies to any other artist design because It’s very common that no one wants to just understand what a gun is and what makes a gun a gun. The beauty comes from simplicity and effectiveness

And you wanna tell us the games and TV show were mostly good ?

I don’t know how Bethesda could’ve made such a glaring mistake. The circle clearly goes in the triangle hole. Gaming is ruined, Gaben cannot salveage this broken industry, there is no hope.

(Edit: It seems some people are taking this silly little comment seriously. I have not thought about this joke too much, i just wrote it for shits and giggles. Go back to your gooncaves, this is just satire.)

That gun looks like what a Ork would make Just without using scrap metal and ductape.

It goes in the square hole
