I dont know why exactly but after this video i have the urge to play oblivion for the 100th time

“It is a really faithful reference to the adoring fan from Oblivion. Its kind of cool, I hate him, I hate him SO much!” Pretty handily sums up how I feel about Starfield. Bethesda was so desperate to harpoon some fans so they _almost_ _literally_ plucked him from Oblivion and ONLY made him accessible through a BACKGROUND TRAIT of all things!?!

The first time I found a Kraken I thought I found some space bandits custom painted and named smg… no, they just look like that. That set my expectations for the ENTIRE game and somehow I was still disappointed around every turn. (They MASSIVELY screwed up the guns. The old Earth shotgun and “hunting rifle” is especially funny/sad if your a gun nerd.)

1:48:09 I am confused, are you talking about the freestar collective or the USA??

I don’t know what this video is all about, but the title is promising. Look like I’m gonna have to get me some pop corn. Be back in a few.

Thank you for the video. When people that play/create video games as a profession say the game is rubbish, then it’s probably rubbish. Gaming just doesn’t feel like it did when I was a kid anymore. It’s not the tech. The tech has become amazing from where it started. Games these days, for the most part, just feel hollow.

That point you made about the freestar collective is on point, they kind of were going to win the war and then just didn’t, but it makes sense when you notice that it left the leaders in this position of mega wealth, the way the war ended betrayed everyone else but those in charge benefited enormously

good video. pls learn basic audio processing tho, at times it’s hard to hear you over the music and your voice track desperately needs de-essing and stuff like such.

Unpopular opinion:

Outer Worlds > Starfield

I love how sexy this guy’s voice is.

1:47:29 “You complain about the system yet you participate in it! Curious!” 😂 Get real, son, everyone viewing this video is doing the same in real life lolol (and our taxes aren’t even low)

1:37:06 wow it’s eerily similar to the 🇪🇺. Really gets the noggin joggin’

1:36:04 ANCAP paradise?
>when there’s roads👎🏻

18:49 never play EVE Online 😂

Loved the video

Person 1: Wow! This game looks amazing. What can you do in it?
Person 2: Admire the views
Person 1: Anything else?
Person 2: Wait for the next view to load.
Person 1: You mean find the next view, right? Like, explore, right?
Person 2: Not if you value your sanity.

Turn down the music volume and turn up your raging voice. This isn’t a rant video. It’s a musical composition soundtrack.

Every 6 or 8 months I have the urge to play New Vegas again and it will be the only game I play for 3 months straight.

I think I have a problem 💀

I’m sorry brother but this is a yap fest of complaints for the littlest reasons with little explanations for the negative opinions.

just a note, and i’m sure it’s way to late to point this out, but that hunter sequence isn’t a boss fight, and he’s impossible to kill because it’s just a scripted “run away from that guy to complete the mission”. you’re supposed to fight him at the end of the game if you sided with emissary, or you fight the emissary if you sided with him.

Really enjoyed listening to this at work today. My faith in Bethesda is at an all-time low and I have no hope for them learning from their mistakes come TESVI, but that’s okay. I’m sure it’ll make them a trillion dollars anyways. We’ll always have Morrowind.

Great video, my only critique is that the footage shown often has nothing to do with what you’re talking about and sometimes I think it’s detrimental to your case. Like when you were describing how NPCs sometimes get stuck and don’t even look at you when you engage in dialogue with them, you showed examples where they did turn to look at you. Or the part where you were discussing how ships don’t have inertia and it makes them feel unnatural, it was just random gun combat footage. I’m sure it’s probably a pain in the ass to go through hours of recorded gameplay to find exactly what you’re looking for but that’s just my two cents

I have to point out with the dimensional quest. The one Where everyone is alive is actually the alternative universe. Because in orbit you get a emergency Broadcast for it falling. So saving everyone is the alternative Universe

Star field was only made because of how well outer world did and Bethesda was hoping to cash in on some of that money. But star field is straight garbage. It’s like they started a good game but somewhere down the road they just gave up and now it’s the same situation where they rather have fans fix it then fix it theme selfs.

3:50 – I’m gonna blow your mind. Check this out, you ARE gonna carry that laser cutter for the rest of the game. You know why? Because it’s affected by laser weapon perks and it has infinite ammo. So you can make it into one of the most powerful weapons in the game by getting all the laser perks and save yourself a whole bunch of clutter by not having to lug around a million weapons and ammo types.

I quit starfield after about 30 hours, left my guy sitting in the water below Neon hoping in vain that the big fish would eat me. Since then I’ve watched AT LEAST that much content decrying this game and its myriad of problems. This subgenre of ‘starfield hate video essay’ is how I cope knowing Todd and his sweet little lies scammed me out of 70 bucks. I hope TES 6 burns.

I klnow a lot of people hate the colour grading, but i think it was suppsoed to represnt the different colour of the local sun and/or the different atmopshere filtering the light into a different colour. Which actually makes some sense. Or would do if it was consistent .

Bethesda is a lazy company reliant on its modding community to improve and finish its games

I love to watch random small youtubers complaining about bad games 😂

what a wonderful first upload, knocked it out park on your first try. next video set up a patreon my dudeler

This aged like fine wine with the dlc

“Lean in your direction and explode your lungs” I loled hard at that one… mainly because I’m friends with people who are 4’0 and sometimes I feel like if I breathe heavily they’d explode

Vasco isnt special they already did it in fallout 4. your mister handy robot follower does the same thing with saying your name.

I’m kind of surprised how much of this review gets information outright wrong. This is far from the only review to do this. You could say the game is at fault for how it conveys information if so many people just don’t understand the story at all.

39:00 this is what it felt like. Initial idea, throw it together, sell for 70bucks. And ppl buy because Bethesda. And now they are releasing an atrocious DLC for 30, that feels like cut content being sold. And they never going to fix any of this. They already made the money. I wonder how long they get to keep this up before profits drop, shareholders leave and they fold in half. Its so sad to see them bleed out like this.

I see another multi hour long Starfield review. I click play.

As far as the Pirate quest goes, i hated the military faction from minute one of that quest because it started out in the middle of the tutorial quest. Literally arrested my ship while i was doing the constellation intro quests for a round of ammo in my inventory which was stolen.

And instead of giving me the option to continue the quest later, instead forced me into a full 40 minutes of character intros for the military who forced my character to be an under cover cop for a faction of pirates.

I literally completed the quest out of pure spite for the bastard in charge. I looked up the rewards at the beginning and they make no fucking sense.
Save the pirates: get cash, become lieutenant of the pirates, and keep an entire space station of vendors and ship building outlets.
Support the military: like 10k cash and you can walk around the military ship with only the bastard in charge there.

There’s no funtional reward to fighting the pirates. All the character interactions happen with the pirates. And the pirates entire morivation is finding booty, which the military wants to swoop in and steal without doing any work at all!

Above all else, the guy in charge is just a prick. He conscripts a random civilian into life threatening work with the threat of incarceration. ACAB

Fuck the UC! I did the entire questline just to tell that bastard to fuck himself.

I never found the Terramorph questline, but what do you mean it has you release the fucking GENOPHAGE!? 1:29:20

Shattered Space review next?

Embrace the salt my brother in hate.
The salt gives us power, hate powers our strength.

Okay we know we get it, It’s just Skyrim in space… stop making 🐂💩 videos like you’re some kind of Sherlock Holmes solving the mystery of the decade…

This game kills me, cause there are moments when I look at the interior of ships, the sprawling landscape of a planet, the visual design of suits, and think “man that’s really cool”. There are fingerprints of love and hard work sprinkled throughout, it’s THERE, it just… Doesn’t amount to anything that’s actually fun to play. I wanted to love it so badly, but 30 hours in and the gameplay all feels the same

“It just works…”

Some guy at Bethesda

“No, no it doesn’t work…”

Most of the Starfield player base

I just don’t enjoy Bethesda games.
Not even Skyrim. I had fun with Rage 2, but they only produced it. Todd “from a certain point of view” Howard didn’t touch it.
The way they do things is irritating.
Some things are way too easy, and things that should be simple are made unecessarily difficult or convoluted. Its like they are made to take a long time for the sake of taking a long time.
And I find them really boring.
I literally fell asleep siting up playing Fallout 4.

I was hyped for Starfield, cus as usual, it was pitched to be 100 times better than it really was. I love No Man’s Sky and thought… no way, NMS with an actual story and dynamic NPCs and stuff? I AM SO DOWN.
Then it only came out on Xbox so, screw me, I guess 😂

Sometimes God works in mysterious ways.

People I know that really love Bethesda RPGs were even disapointed with Starfield. I get bored watching Starfield footage thats been chosen to be entertaining.
I do find joy in people complaining about Bethesda games though. 😂

35:25 you’re right making every npc named would probably take hundreds of people and it would probably take them like 8 years to complete that game. No one ever made a giant city full of named NPCs *coughs in Imperial City*.

Bro pls lower game music audio

CDPR really showed us what a flawed game Starfield was after getting lost in the ambience of Night City

I found Starfield to be ok. Not great, not terrible. Maybe the upcoming DLC will make it better. Who knows. But it’s still fun to watch these videos on how much of a trainwreck the game was, vs. what was actually promised.

I like your video a lot but I have major qualms with your recommendation of starting with Mass Effect 3. The other games are dated, but not inaccessible. The story is still amazing and if youre playing the remastered versions it updates the games to a much more playable state. The whole amazing thing with those games is that your choices influence every subsequent game. It makes no sense to play the worst of the 3 just because it is the newest.

Starfield hate vids gotta be my favorite gender

This is going on a playlist of video essays about Star Field and they will all be used to help me sleep. I mean that with respect. Star Field has failed in so many ways, but unexpected way it has made my life better is all the amazing content that I will listen to countless times while aiding me in conquering my insomnia.

This is a good start, and so there are lots of positive comments, but there are some issues as well, and it’s worth mentioning if one is to learn.
First, as mentioned by others, the sound balancing is bad. The volume of the background music changes and isn’t being corrected to account for the speaking voice.
There are also issues with the narration itself. Some of it is unclear not because the music s too loud, but because of slurring of words and general sloppy pronunciation. If you’re expecting people to listen to you speak for hours, then making an effort to speak more clearly is warranted.
There are also quite a few mispronounced words. I’m generally fine with people mispronouncing words, because it likely just means they’ve read more than they’ve heard a word spoken, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Having said that, again, if you’re speaking to an audience for a couple hours, then checking your pronunciation is in order. I realize you might not always know that you don’t know, in which case having a few people listen to the recording and give corrections might be useful.
In terms of content, it’s actually reasonably well structured for being a rant-type video. I did lose you at a few points, but you got me back eventually, in terms of coherence.
I found it very silly how angry you seemed to get about how the cartoonishly evil faction was being cartoonishly evil. You definitely spent way too much time complaining about it being evil, when a more mature critique might’ve lamented the shallowness of the writing or the lack of nuanced factions, or explained why certain things would not have worked the way they were depicted, rather than simply reacting in the way Bethesda obviously wanted you to react. Or maybe noting how evil corporations tend to try to appeal to their audience by writing stories pretending they’re not on the side of evil corporations. Or maybe, if you happened to think that was actually a well written faction, maybe try and figure out what they did so well that it got to you so much.

Overall, a reasonably solid first effort.

1:57:00 They already did the name thing in Fallout 4. This is not new.

I love that you are putting this together so coherently on your first try. Compliments. One tip: look into proper levels for audio mastering. It sounds like you may have mastered this by ear, cranking up the sound on your headphones or speakers, but this causes your voice to be way too soft on most devices, and your background music is way too loud. Made it impossible to listen to on a train for me. Just a tip!

So as a comment at the end of the video – let me add another game to the list of things that dwarf Starfield when it comes to storytelling as well as space-based travel and combat, and trading, and all that jazz (no shipbuilding or basebuilding though): Freelancer. Freelancer is THE game that brings me such an awesome nostalgia wave anytime I play it. It has some of the best space travel system with its boost / warp / travel lanes / gates… I just wish some game developer did a REAL modern version of it that I loved. There just isn’t anything that comes close to it.

Now… you can’t *buy* that game anymore, it’s no longer purchasable. But if you can find, say, a physical copy, it’s *well* worth the effort just to be able to play. I strongly suggest a proper high-res texture mod pack though. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find myself some Sidewinder Fang – I can’t stand that Liberty Ale crap 😛

THEY ROCK TEXTURES ARE DIFFERENT SCALES IM HAVING AN AUTISTIC MELTDOWN

I would also recommend if you want a good space sim, X4: Foundations, it’s like the love child of EVE and Star Citizen, no loading screens, seamless universe, economic management, ship and station building

You can run the game with DLAA it helps a bit with the blurriness

I appreciate your review, however, I do have to say you seem to have gotten a few things wrong. Through not fault of your own, mind you, not many people would have the patience to go through multiple quests multiple times just to see what are all the possible outcomes… But for example, at 1:12:00 you mention the “alternate universe” quest, and this one actually has a 3rd outcome where *both* universes sort of merge and you can save everyone.

So, it’s wrong to say that it’s one or the other. But at the same time, this doesn’t really make it better, because they just wrote this separately from whatever everyone else was writing, completely break the rules of the game world that have been set already. The biggest failure in this (and other “small portals to different dimensions” is that it makes the Unity completely stupid. Why the hell do I have to lose everything and everyone, my equipment, my ship, and all of it, when one could just… switch universes through a simple portal? There’s no logic in it!

Nearly 3 hours of a perfectly honest review. Good god.

I loathed it to i used to love bethesda but they have gone to shit

I dont even play this game and never will but these videos are fun to watch

Also it’s hilarious to me that BG3 is entirely the companions to you because I ignored them almost entirely lmao

So the Freestar Collective: the biggest crime in storytelling in Starfield is the Freestar Collective. A society that gives no benefits but has low tax is a libertarian dream! It would produce a civilization with real problems! And Bethesda has zero interest in exploring that, just wants you to be a cop. It’s so bad.

Games always seem to get crafting wrong. Especially MMOs. Crafting should be the way to aome of the best possible gear in the game aside from very few other methods.

For instance, lets say you wanna craft a real bad ass gun. You can either get a high skill to start on it yourself, but you should have to go f8nd and essentially make rare materials, and then find kegendary masters of their craft to aide you in finishing a weapon or gear worthy of being legendary. You have to seek out these fabled masters of their craft, and have them combine efforts with other masters as well as yourself, to create and comvine the highest quality items to make the gear. It truly should be capable of getting you stuff that no ordinary dungeon drop should even be able to come close to.

I remember back in WoW getting that Ragnaros Fury Brand. Had to get orbs of power from legendary elementals, had to get metal aloys made with the metal that was enchanted and wood hafts that were empowered via enchanting and inscription respectively.

End game crafting shood be a gateway to the top of the top of gear in games with the systems. But it needs to be made where exploration and completion of rather powerdul level quests with reagents and material rewards giving you rare items of significant power or capability to craft into your new weapon of legend.

This is what crafting imo should be about in any game with crafting skills like that. Killing some nameless schmuck and his ductaped broken Drako should not yield me a weapon stronger than my forged through legendary smiths and materials gear.

Starfield is baby’s first The Expanse

1:44:08
The plot of Monster goes burrr

Starfield is uninspired.

I started watching a cartoon series on Netflix about vikings called Twilight of the Gods. Every scene, every moment, is epic and compelling. They manage to turn even the most basic tasks into character building opportunities. I’ll give an example.

There’s a scene where the MC and her hubby are going to get some sort of magic weapons before they set out on the journey ahead. If this were Starfield, the story would end there. Now the MC, mind you, is on a quest of vengeance (this will be relevant momentarily). She takes up a weapon and grasps it firmly. The individual they are with taking them to retrieve these weapons then stops the rest of the party, exclaiming, “Wait, before you pick your weapon, you must know that the weapon itself will destroy you if it senses any hesitation in your spirit or on the battlefield”. He knew the MC had resolve, but was unsure about the rest. The hubby, up until this point, had been more analytical/reluctant to act out of impulse, unlike his wife (MC). Before he grabs a weapon, his wife thinks his spirit wavers and stops him, saying, “No, don’t – you have nothing to prove. I don’t want to lose you.” But then the hubby just goes, “Fuck that” – grabs a weapon, and… doesn’t perish. “I’m with you ’til the end!”

Bethesda has no moments like this in Starfield. Everything that happens is uninspired, lackluster, or mediocre at best. They don’t stop to think about how to make an otherwise generic plot point feel epic or compelling. They really need to seek out some inspiration, because it is painfully obvious they have become completely devoid of it.

Do you people touch yourselves to these slow intros with music blaring in the background? This isn’t some high art masterpiece of a video you are producing, you are reviewing a mid videogame. It is like every long form review youtuber likes to do the same bland and boring intro trying to hype people up for the video. I don’t think I can describe how silly it feels. I know the comment is going to sound overly harsh, hehe, but it is something I noticed and it is starting to annoy me.

Refusal to make an effort and appalling production has peaked

I honestly thought the intro had promise, sadly it falls off a cliff shortly after

18:56
I lost it on “oi m8 you have a loisence for dat ship”.
That was amazing.

*reads video title*
*notes video length*
*cracks knuckles and presses play*…

You have nailed the review of this game

Amazing video. Extremely underrated. Been watching it for days

Ive never played it. I enjoyed the video nonetheless

Putting NG+ in a Bethesda game is such a bad idea. If everything resets after I beat the game, then why the fuck would i bother getting attached to absolutely anything? It’s all gonna go away.

Why would I do any outpost building if its just gonna disappear? Why hunt down the best legendary gear if its getting disintegrated? Why should I sink time and effort into my ship if it’s getting pulled into the warp?

Look at FO4: despite the very, very big flaws with the game (specifically writing and story), I still enjoy it. I care about building settlements because they’ll always be there when I’m doing something else.

I painstakingly mod my weapons to a specific perfection and proudly display my previous ones as a testament to the effort I sunk into them.

I take the time to fully customize my power armor because, even if I’m not using it, it’ll always be there when I want it again.

I care about how I act with various NPCs, knowing that their deaths are permanent.

I feel absolutely ZERO of this for Starfield. The fact that you have to ignore such a huge mechanic just to avoid hard-wiping the universe is ridiculous.

Lol, how original, ‘we will name this cyberpunk city….NEON!’

I still enjoyed it, love my slop

wtf is the problem with being able to pick a gender, exactly?
It’s such a new concept after all

Bud, roasting a Bethesda game is pretty pointless. We all know the limitations of this game come from the fact they’ve been using the same game engine since 1998. All of their games have basically been this since Terminator Future Shock.

How fuck is pc at top that mid range pc buddy lol this video was guy liar about so much saying use gun get artifacts after start its up to you but 98% people usedl laser cutter always had on need it to mine. I think you did not play this for hour most your bs was false like poorly optimized i never dipped under 100 fps but i have high end pc yours is middle of mid range

Today, aside from the lack of maps, none of these things have been fixed in any way. In fact, there are even more issues now than when the game launched. WTF, Bethesda?!

The one thing i agree with Todd Howard is that you shouldnt be picking up every paperclip and microscope you see.

Didn’t even beat it, it was so boring. What was it? 25years to make this? And it sucked -_-

Re: the terrormorph thing: you just don’t replace one apex predator with an even more powerful apex predator and not have it being a danger to humans.

Anybody else here who have never played this game, but like to watch these reviews of it??😂

There are some people who actually enjoy playing Starfield. I wish I was as stupid as those people so I could enjoy this trash game. Starfield sucks ass in literally every way. Its embarrassing

Honestly, there is no reason to be salty that Bethesda can’t make games anymore or they closed down Arcane because they could.

Just support Stalker 2 and European game design as much as possible.

I just have to say your voice is so soothing to listen to. The passion and frustration is palpable

The Freestar Collective really do suck don’t they? You would have thought that out of the many corrupt characters there would be one idealistic Libertarian or something to give them a bit of redeemability in the faction leadership but nope.

Yeah Fuck the council of governors and whole free star collective. You know what here have a subscribe.

I knew you will mention plant sera as example when talking about all 10 variations of constellation.

“Like that tomato you stole” LMAO 🤣

15:26

One very easy way to solve the crafting being essentially useless, would be special recipes that could result in weapons and armor that could only ever be crafted, basically enemies, misiones, and quests, could have a rare chance of dropping blueprints for crafting items that can’t be found anywhere else other than crafting.

Let’s say you pick up a blueprint that lets you make a massive plasma hammer or something, the only way to ever get a plasma hammer is to craft it, sure it will eventually get outclassed and become worthless, but you can make it and use it for at least a handful of levels before you fined a replacement.

Every Bethesda game used to be an insta buy for me. Ever since Fallout 76 thats changed, they are not fooling me again.

I had high hopes for SF but i’m happy I didnt buy it at launch (or all for that matter).

I’m sorry you had to go trough playing that obvious abomination.

If you take away all the things that made New Vegas and Skyrim great, You’re left with Starfield.

Speaking of house varuun – how much you wanna bet that in the upcoming DLC, just like in the base game, the background trait “serpent’s embrace” will influence 2 things: jack and shit?

This video sucks

“So I could just walk into New Atlantis, slaughter everyone, go to the next town, pay the bounty, and be fine? What?”
Repeat after me, a crime with a fine as the only punishment is only illegal for the poor. xD

Having everyone be bisexual is actually super based though. That’s not a valid criticism.

💯💯💯

i’d say crit chance is nowhere near important as encumbrance. in fact there’s a lot of games that just don’t tell you what crit chance is. i’d rather have it displayed, but personally i’m fine with just not having crits at all in my games, unless they’re like DMC where they’re skill-dependant rather than luck-dependant.

Thing abt the performance:
My card is a 6600xt, supposed to be a 1080p powerhouse of a card giving 100+fps in any title at high or above, and starfield kneecapped my pc to like 40fps…
Now I ask you, FOR WHAT???
Rdr2 looks and is miles above this garbage muddy textured mess and runs in the easy 60+fps?? So wtf is Starfield doing that it needs so many resources??

We live in a world where Skyrim, a game that was made years ago, is a much better experience than StarField.

Why would you play this game for over 100 if you hate it so much?

6:47 looks Ugly.

Cant even say it was crunch or $$ these decisions were made to purposely make the game worse.

Great video with based opinions 😎

So much of what you said is completely false or just nippaking and whining. I could make a list of everything but wow. I would be here for days writing a two page essay.

Absolutely agree with everything you said, the only difference is, I just uninstalled it after about 9-10 hours of suffering, and I did not start a YouTube channel lol 😀 you earned my sub 😀

Good video. Although I bursted out laughing when you recommended people to play Mass Effect 3 before the 2 first games in the series. That’s in my opinion a Terrible idea.

Mass Effect 1 gives you allot of context to the world, and Mass Effect 2 is one of the best written RPGs ever made. The third game concludes the story, that begins in the first game, and is in my opinion, the worst of the trilogy. Also Mass Effect 1 came out the year after Oblivion, another game you recommended. And I think it is a much more modern game, in terms of mechanics, than Oblivion is. Plus there’s the whole Savefile transfer between all the Mass Effect games, that will give you the best experience overall.

The “background” music is incredibly distracting. I was unable to enjoy this video like it should be. Everything else except the music volume seems great.

This man’s smiting ability is top notch. Recommend subbing or he’ll do a review on you next. Good stuff man.

Great stuff man. Maybe adjust the audio a bit, your voice gets drowned out at times

Dude. Amazing first video. I was flabbergasted when I got to the end and you “revealed” that you just started the channel. Would love to see more analysis like this!

Small nitpick that honestly bothered me more than it should have:

Vasco recognizing and voicing your name is not novel. Codsworth did that in Fallout 4.

You sir get the title of the Starfield rant OVERLORD!! 🥇 This has to be the single most interesting rant I’ve come across, and believe me, I consider myself a connoisseur of the genre when it comes to critiquing Starfield. I’ve seen every lengthy analysis, every deep dive, every pointed critique out there. But this—this takes the cake.

The music is too loud, your voice can be barely heard.

Outstanding mate! Best critique of Starfield I have heard yet, and I’ve watched at least 10 to 15 of these. I’ve played every Bethesda game (especially NV, FO3 and FO4). I kinda always knew they were empty, pointless and mindlessly juvenile, and how white-bread, hollow and stupid the main stories are; specifically in Fallout 4. That being said, the game still possessed just enough strangeness and sci-fi apocalypse character to keep me interested and exploring all the little nooks and crannies. And I did like meeting all the odd (but shallow and pointless) NPCs. ( But I would always restart the game before finishing the main story quest). Overall it held my interest enough for me commit 100s of hrs playtime. Plus 100s of hours playing all the other fallouts after #3, and Skyrim too. I want to thank you for explaining in perfect detail why fallout 4 sucked ass. As I was watching and rewatching your well made presentation, it dawned on me that I could basically plug in fallout 4 stories , themes, main characters and overall scenarios into all of your analysis and critiques, and you were basically describing why fallout 4 gobbled donkey balls. I haven’t had the urge to play any Bethesda game in many years. I skipped FO76 and will not be giving Microsoft any money to DL Starfield. I sit back and watch all the Starfield review videos and have a warm glow inside knowing that at least one public facing corporation is having to hear from people they crap on regularly. Maybe just maybe, someone in Bethesda/Microsoft (and I wish most other corporations) will catch a hint as to how we feel about the catastrophicly shitty products and services they offer. Cheers brother, keep speaking truth. I subscribed.

Wish I could refund this crap . And I bought on sale at 29$

Good shit

Subbed and hope you keep putting out bangers

So Bethesda actually managed to correctly describe a libertarian/neoliberal society: The Freestar Collective?

I disagree about suggesting that first two mass effects are hard to get into(unless you’re a baby or something). If you gonna play it – you have to start with the first one or everything else won’t have the same narrative impact. You won’t care about those awesome followers as much and won’t have personal history with them. Otherwise a great video! Appreciate using lots of Oblivion soundtrack😄
Edit: Also about robot saying your name – Codsworsth in Fallout 4 says many names including some obscenities. Fallout 4 has the best bethesda companions imo. They use animation markers, react to your actions and the world and are better fleshed out than Starfield ones. I think they started evolving their companions with Serana in Skyrim, got better in fallout 4 and then went completely stale and lazy in Starfield

Great review, thanks man!

1:08:18 wait, people generally frame their whole lives around a purpose? I thought that was just a weird trope in media, I never thought it was something real people actually do…

Bethesda made 2 good video games in their entire career…at most.
Bethesda fans got the game they deserved and anyone who has any hope or hype for TES 6 is ignorant beyond belief

Great video. I appreciate your presentation and methodology. You also have a nice speaking voice, it has a pleasant quality to it. I hope to see much more from you.

Interesting video but if I can point out one thing it would be this. The background music is sometimes significantly louder than your voice. In addition, the tone of your voice is quite monotonous, which makes listening boring and difficult

“What got you into YouTube?”
“My sheer hatred for this game: Starfield.”

Great analysis! I have over 400 hours in Starfield, but most of it was time spent in the ship editor. Only feature I really like. The rest is abysmal. Before the game released I fantasized about a game that doesn’t really have one of Bethesdas boring main quests and instead concentrates on lore and worldbuilding – something they are really good at, even in Fallout 76. But as you said, the game lore is wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. And this is something I just can’t stomach anymore. Bethesda is finished for me.

I’m about to blow your mind: There is no side quest where you bring Sam’s daughter books.

She has dialog asking for books, yes. But there is no quest, there is no interaction, and there is no way to actually give her a book. You misremembered that, maybe confusing it with a different quest where you bring a kid on Mars some comic books. Or maybe you assumed there was a quest there based on the voice lines. But I assure you, it doesn’t exist. Probably cut content. The missing book quest is a bit of a controversy among Starfield fans.

Japantown in Cyberpunk alone clears every single city and location in this game lol

These days I mostly enjoy Bethesda games in form of negative reviews. In that sense I could still say, they bring me hours upon hours of entertainment. Great review, lots of good and original points.

Good stuff, really enjoyed that. A lot of work went into it as well, impressive effort. Appreciate the video bro will subscribe to see more. Yeah I hated Starfield so bad, because of the thrown away potential at every turn as well. I doubt DLC’s will ever fix it up, buut the IP could work in a sequel. Just it needs to be far less samey and predictable, and better in design imho.

criminally underated

Really solid video.

Nice theme tune. Shame about the lazy flawed concept and bugs.

What do you mean you are already at the top? Brother you can still get a rtx 4090 and a threadripper 7995wx lol. My new favorite genre of videos are starfield analysis videos.

Sooooo creamy

This was excellent, you hit all the games ridiculous game world inconsistencies and more. Hard to believe that this poorly planned and thought out game took 5+ years with the final product being so bad.

Bro hated this game so much that started a whole career out of it 😂😂 this was such a great analysis/review like every detail that you mention it really shows you have a great way to explain the things that you enjoy/ not enjoy.

Having a list of games that you can play instead or to have similar vibes or that do it better is such a nice detail to have in the video and I really welcomed that.

Instantly subscribe and very impressive for your first video I can’t wait for your next analysis/review keep up the great work
