Im among the People who Love Starfield buuuut i cant Play it as i keeps Dashboarding me ever 10/15 Minutes
Put n 500hr. thank Todd. Well done. 😁
Hopefully they are just spinning their wheels on technical stuff and Elder Scrolls preproduction, while they are out finding and hiring better writers.
Failed woketrash.
Bethesda gave up on Starfield when they half-assed it and released a shallow, half done game.
If they had waited another 25 years, it might finally have enough content and story to be an actual AAA game.
I played about 500 hours when it launched.. I really enjoyed the ship building and the outposts.
I just reloaded it last night and played a new game, it’s slow paced, it will suffice when I want that vibe.
I don’t see any need to hammer it.
It’s in a league of its own I guess.
Many games are.
Haha Just a junk pile that no one wanted haha
I loved this game. People must’ve had expectations so high that they were un-reachable in their brains.
no, starfield has alot of problems and alot of woke crap that needs to be removed and charicter “creator” needs fixing big times along with crashing. the game was just a test for the new engine its dead
The game was released in Sept 2023. The 1st DLC was released Oct 2024. What’s the problem?
I felt this game was about to be a mess even when people were still hyped with the trailer, I’ve made a promise to never fall for Tod’s lies ever again.
They litterally said theyre working on it 3 days ago
After I playing this, I don’t think elder scrolls 6 is gonna be that good
It’s the same busted, bullshit logic that allows companies to sell more digital copies thereby lowering the cost of printing physical media and fill their games with day one DLC cut from the final product and microtransactions, and in Bethesda’s case, paid mods, but somehow no savings are passed onto the consumer, while they still whine and cry about games being “under priced” and wait with anticipation at GTA 6 launching with $100 price tag.
Starfield was filled with procedurally generated slop and is well behind industry standard for cutting edge graphics, and Bethesda is at the biggest they’ve ever been, but somehow, that still doesn’t cut down on development time.
Just a fun comparison:
The decade of 2006 to 2015, with a portion of the manpower, Bethesda Game Studios put out IHRA Drag Racing: Sportsman Edition, TES 4 Oblivion, Fallout 3, TES 5 Skyrim and Fallout 4, as well as all related DLC.
The decade of 2016 to 2025, Bethesda Game Studios, at their most successful, with the most manpower they’ve ever had, has put out Starfield and it’s associated DLC, two mobile games, and they ported Fallout 4 and Skyrim a couple of times. You can’t even count Fallout 76, because while some of BGS did reportedly help with 76, Bethesda Austin is credited with Fallout 76.
That’s a worrying trajectory.
Last update broke every save of mine for the last 10 hours of gameplay😢 basically every load dumped me in space with no ship just floating and unable to move or fast travel.
Rage quit and haven’t looked back since
Starfield was dead on arrival. And is still dead.
Hey guys, thanks for the update with the free games for Prime, I constantly forget to claim some of the games and all the ones you listed in the video sound interesting!
I’ve never seen a game with such little sense of exploration for literally being IN SPACE.
Toddy are you OK?! Are you OK Toddy!?
That Twitter post really feels like “It’s coming to PS5 but we can’t say it yet.”
“Theres probably a bunch of players on Playstation that would like to check out starfield”
yeah HAH when its free maybe lmao
It would make sense to have a ps5 version … MS did just release Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.
Bethesda isnt a triple a studio. Their stuck in 2012 and for whatever reason cant evolve much past it.
the check : 3 pennies.
Yooo bruce greene is a pddddfff file, we contacted his wife to alert her
Super-glad to see daily videos!
I had fun with starfield for about 30 hours. If it wasnt Bethesda I’d consider it an mid-good game. It wasn’t bad, just disappointing…
Mad that it was almost 7 years after Skyrim was released that Elder Scrolls VI was announced, and now it’s nearly been another 7 years since that announcement. If they have given up on Starfield they are probably working on anything other than ES6, like porting Skyrim onto a potato
Anti white game
The team is hard at work sundowning the game as quietly and quickly as possible.
Lookin ain’t a crime…
Between this Starfield business and the first mention of Elder Scrolls 6 in ages being casually dropped, I don’t think things are particularly strong at the ole Bethesda.
We just want Elder Scrolls 6
I remember why I uninstalled Starfield, I needed the 132GB of space for other games in 2023.
Just started playing it and well, im 120hrs in and im loving it. But sure lol😅
Thanks again for these daily videos. Amazing to watch while having my morning coffee
The ending killed this game for me. It made everything feel so pointless. “you must collect all the artifacts so you can go back in time and do it all over again”. Stupid Meta ending accomplishes nothing and a waste of time.
My biggest gripe is it took 20 hours just to hear a swear word and it wasn’t even a bad one.
Wish they’d drop everything dedicate all resources that Elder Scrolls six. I’m Jonesing real bad.
It’s crazy that they announced Shattered Space before Starfield came out, and no one thought that was weird. That entire DLC was cut content.
i dont think anyone is playing starfield anymore
15 million people touched it for free through gamepass or played it for an hour on steam then refunded it like me, also friendship truely is magic.
When PlayStation goes PLATFORM they should call it STATION.
Sony owns bill n ted, right?
They have to evolve and adapt or get left behind. The Bethesda “charm” isn’t a thing anymore.
Bro I went to the high seas to try and play this game and I was so bored of it. I tried to have fun in anyway possible and I was even hacking it because that makes most games fun for me if I’m bored of the game and that still didn’t solve it for me. So I just uninstalled it and moved on.
Please give up on it and get on with ES6
How the F are games harder to make now when so many Indie games are CURSHING it??
They’re probably arguing into camps of to move on or to double down with the record of 76 I don’t think they should double down but that’s just my hot take
Bethesda is hard at work at the game you actually care about: Skyrim 15th Anniversary Edition
Shattered Space barely got the 30 day average player count on Steam up to 8,000; the game’s barely treading water at 3,000 now… Skyrim Special Edition on Steam has a 30 day average of 26,000 players THIS MONTH. FO4 has nearly 13,000 30 day average.
Just completed veilguard cause of psn, good game
Starfield doesn’t need more DLC, what it needs is a Cyberpunk-style total rework of almost every gameplay system in the game. So many things are either janky, poorly balanced, broken entirely, or straight-up pointless.
There is a couple issues with mods right now, there is no official lip sync tools (the license expired) and no animation frameworks/tools.
Until tools like that are released, new weapon animations will alway be “hackey”, and any voiced quests have to be done by helmeted characters or robots.
There also is the form ID bug where the game will reuse a form ID, which will make the game either corrupt or crash on save load. Its been “improved” but not fixed.
15,000,000 players? What, concurrently or for all time? Including those who bought it on Steam, refunded it after 2 hrs? Those who gave it a try on Gamepass and moved on?
Seems a little iffy to me.
Sometimes I think about giving Starfield another go on gamepass(im already sub’d) but even that seems… mehhh.
RIP Midfield
Seems like people are finally thinking what i thought in 2016 after F4
I feel like MS is staring down Bethesda, warning them that they can’t push jank any more and need to actually put out AAA quality and polished games.
Would be interesting to see how TES6 ends up.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a “make or break” situation for the studio
Team is hard at work snorting plenty of drugs.
I put so many hours into Starfield and loved every hour. Took a break but excited to dive back in.
I downloaded the veil guard on PS five and I’m having a great time playing it 10 hours in but I don’t know if it’s personal bias if I didn’t buy it when it came out
I played about 25 or so hours and half of that was making a giant dick shaped spaceship
just playing the game on launch you could tell the devs had 0 passion for this game and just wanted their dev nightmare to end, im not surprised they are trying to get away as soon as possible
7:24 PlayStation: I’ll give you 3.25 and my half eaten sandwich for Dragon Age The Veilgaurd.
EA: Deal. Suckers I would’ve taken .05 for it.
Inside gaming never dies
Going deeper into the Them’s Fightin’ Herds backstory: when the team got the cease and desist from Hasbro, Lauren Faust herself (the creator of Friendship is Magic) came in to help redesign the characters. Super cool.
I hope they’re finally prioritizing the production of The Elder Scrolls 6. That’s straight up a license to print money and I don’t know why they’ve been sleeping on it for this long. It’s not like they’ve been focused on vastly upgrading their game design and tech judging from Starfield. Just make it before Shirley the Skyrim Grandma dies, please.
U want another dlc after the last 💩 show
It doesn’t play on steam deck, so boo. I’ll play cyber punk or fallout 4 instead
Elder Bruce beard
3 words that’ll save Starfield: HORSE SPACESUIT ARMOR.
I think my favorite moment of Starfield was finding a zero G space station with space pirates in it. I figured at the time that I would find many more zero G environments to make combat more interesting. I don’t think I ever found a second. The game really just doesn’t go anywhere. After the first few hours you will have seen everything worth seeing.
To quote Obi Wan Kenobi: “It’s dead, Jim”.
Whenever it comes I need a future update/expansion to vastly improve and add to the Trackers Alliance bounty Missions. Frankly Trackers Alliance could be its own stand alone expansion story!
I reckon that they’re going to put it on PlayStation and they’re just waiting for the right name when the Xbox players get over it. + Bring out a big expansion to make it look like the game feels new again for the PlayStation players so they can make more money
As someone that has absolutely loved Starfield since launch (YES, we do exist!) I have not actually been worried or concerned about the next expansion. Never would have guessed but Starfield seems to be THE Bethesda franchise that speaks to me. Since they implemented Creation mods Ive gotten so much more quality content. Last I checked I have spent maybe250+ hours playing or ship designing in Starfield. I dont think I will ever get sick of this game.
Please corporate daddies! More DLC MORE
They’ll announce a Playstation release with a new expansion at the same time. Probably a game of the year edition they can double dip with.
Loving the MST3k shirt!
For a game “25 years in the making”, it certainly felt like hacked-out derivative garbage. They gave up on SF long before launch.
I would imagine porting the game to PlayStation is increasing development time/updates since now they need to play test for those consoles.
Pete Hines is an absolute legend. Zenimax should’ve given him 30% of Bethesda and kept him on forever. They lost a real one when he left.
fuck starfield. They need to focus on TES VI and Fallout 5. Those are MUCH more important to them as a company since they’ll make so much more money on both games than anything starfield could ever do for them. Not to mention, fans will be much happier to see more work done and more gameplay showcases of TES VI and Fallout 5. They really need to start doing dev logs during the development for TES VI to build up more hype around it, and they need to do the same thing with Fallout 5 after they drop a gameplay trailer for it, whenever that will be. It’s weird they haven’t released a gameplay trailer for TES VI yet, which kind of worries me.
Lawrence without his glasses on is starting to look like ron pearlman
I was the 667th like, sorry Satan
“they had 15 million players in the creation update in november” what does that even man? 15 million players played the game that month? i highly doubt that
The best thing about games on GOG is you can download the installer and have it regardless of presence on storefront or digital. You own it, actually own it.
Yearly DLC, just think about that, shattered space, (which was mostly cut content), it took them a year to build something that was already nearly finished, imagine how poor the next “big thing” will be.
Havent touched it since launch. KCD 2 is ten times the game any bethesda game is and bethesda have all the money. There is no excuse for medern bethesda games to be so bad.
Is Lawrence taking adrenochrome or something? Drop skincare routine he’s aging in reverse and looking ebullient
Bethesda is in full on enshitification on its products. You get less content for more money over a longer period of time than ever before. Its very baffling to see a company grow while delivering less value
I agree with everything said here. Now’s the time to either say “A port is coming” or “Development has concluded” and move on. We can accept (and expect) another 5 years of silence on ES6, but either put give us a roadmap or put Starfield to rest.
oh nooooooooooo.
so, anyways…..
I said I would only play dragon age the Veilguard once it was free, I did not expect for it to take only 4 months
We could only fucking hope.
Where’s my RedFall Dlc Tod 😂
Starfailed…lol.
Comment for the algorithm!
Honestly just go play No Man’s Sky.
Don’t rule out a switch 2 release of star starfield.
It’s good to hear your voices!
I honestly think all Bethesda fans should try KCD 1/2.
Are they fantasy games? No. Do they have dungeons? Also no. But what they DO have is amazing quest design and that same loot/economy that you know and love. The combat may be a bit alien at first but stick with it and you’ll find yourself sucked into the experience from start to finish.
Probably at the same time as the PS5 release
400+ hours in Starfield before the DLC, and after “Shattered Space” I can now definitely say I’m not a Bethesda fan anymore.
Star field was dogwater. ES6 is gonna be dogwater. Fo5 is gonna be dogwater. As long as Bethesda games exists, good versions of their games won’t.
90% of the team are working on the next elder scrolls.
There’s like four players that are hyped for future Starfield DLC. The base game is so bland. They managed to make the exploration so boring. Something that is normally a strong point of their games.
I think I have access to that last DLC thing they put out and I haven’t even bothered to play that 😂
The modding community, which some people just took for granted and expected to “fix” the game and make it amazing, also gave up on it extremely quickly. Every big time Skyrim and Fallout modder who jumped on Starfield have already went back to their previous games to develop there again.
Starfield would really benefit from a full-ass Mass Effect mod with storyline and not just character models like all the Star Wars mods I’ve seen
As long as the next elder scrolls game is fun than I’m happy
Post Skyrim Bethesda is rough.
Ots getting prepared for ps5
🎉
3:40 Skyrim had the Dragonborn expansion, so it wouldn’t be the first time the they went with that DLC naming convention.
People have been way too harsh on Bethesda. I have literally spent most of my childhood playing their games. Their run from Daggerfall through to Skyrim (with Fallout in-between) is one of the greatest runs in gaming history, and account for a statistically significant portion of my overall gaming hours without question.
So what that their last two games (F76 was heavily outsourced so I don’t count it as entirely theirs. Plus it’s basically the same game as F4) were average (not TERRIBLE, just average). They almost certainly earned their once great reputation. People just love to hate. Don’t forget they are just a developer in the end, a building full of talented nerds who are good people.
A little course correction and they could go back to making bangers
100% the only game I’m sad I played more hours than eligible for refund in the past 5 years
I gave up on starfield, about 20 hours in. Once I realized it wasnt any fun and all just busy work with no real reward I just stopped playing. 70 big ones for that turd
Ive heard the comment of, ” Its harder to make games now than it has ever been.”, and I dont really understand how that is possible. Sure game have gotten bigger and more technically impressive but hasnt the the tech and peoples experience in using that tech to make those games also increased?
Hopefully people can explain on why that may be but it kind of just seems like an excuse to justify mediocre or bad games from previously beloved studios.
Something I like about this show is the background music is interesting and entertaining. IGN has this one song they use for the daily fix that is all trumpets and horns and it’s incredibly annoying. Thank you for having good taste in background music.
Lawrence looks eerily like Sidney Crosby.
Hasn’t everyone?
id rather play skyrim or new vegas
Bethesda beshmesda I give up on them.
My honest guess is the Fallout show shifted a lot of thier priorities. Put Starfield at the back and focus on a new Fallout game before season 2. Not saying it will be a well made game, but a game.
I know only the dumbest Bethesda defenders are the only ones who *haven’t* given up on that POS game. Lmao
Maybe 15 million tried the game at some point through xbox. Find it hard to believe there’s that many with it installed still. 120+ gb install if I remember right.
If they were “always listening and taking feedback to heart” then my Argonian would have stopped shouting like a Nord a decade ago. 17 Skyrims later and there still isn’t an Argonian accent for the player.
By many reports Bethesda still runs itself the way it did years ago with Tod being the key decision maker.
The problem is that Bethesda is now so large and their leadership is pulled in so many different directions that it now takes ages for them to make decisions.
They announced more content coming this year already. We’ll see what is what
Lawrence, bruce and Brian you guys are fantastic
starfield’s a lost cause. they’re probably focused on TES6 (as they should be).
Man, all those hours I put into Space Skyrim, and I can’t remember much past the UC Vanguard questline. I just remember it being vastly superior to the Rangers storyline. Lopsidedly so.
Loving the more frequent uploads, you beautiful people ❤️
They fell off years ago I don’t know why people can’t see it.
If they wouldn’t give up on Rage, they won’t give up on Starfield, at least as a franchise. Hopefully they’ll add actual intelligent alien life to interact with.
Toot my flute
Long story short, they should give up lol
Never been first…feels nice
