They need to fix the base game first! The game is boring, the dungeons are literally copy pasted everywhere, the armor system is a downgrade from FO4, the story is complete dogwater, and all the NPCs look like they were molded from playdoh. I haven’t bought Oblivion remastered and I have no intentions of buying FO5 or ES6 unless it is a complete turn around. 2023 kinda left a sour taste in my mouth with Starfield and Payday 3 under delivering. Since then I’ve been focusing more on indie games and been having more fun.

Forget this garbage. If you are looking for amazing “space, sci-fi” get X4. Offline, single player, insane sized galactic sandbox. Best part dedicated fan base drops incredible mods.

I played it on Gamepass and loved it. I was exactly a Bethesda game which I liked, but I get why people are tired of it too. What I can’t stand is the “blood in the water” hatred people give games. This article reeks of it.

Eww, Paul Tassi farticle. Hard pass and unsubbed. 😂

Maybe this will teach Bethesda to, I don’t know, maybe actually listen to fan feedback when they are crafting the next Fallout title. Fans have been screaming what they want for years now. Lost faith in Bethesda at this point so I expect another shallow world full of predetermined choices in the same clunky game engine

If they removed the terrible ship combat and made exploration remotely interesting the game could be good. They literally just had to rip off No Mans sky, but bethesda is no longer a leader in innovation. Also the moment they tried to monetize modding they lost ALL credibility.

If this game didn’t have the Bethesda name and all the hype, it wouldn’t have nearly done as well as it did on launch
Really a shame that it turned out so soulless. There was potential for an amazing game with nearly infinite replay-ability

Boring, lifeless, bland game; good riddance.

The hype was great.. til u realise theres 1 big city.. 1 small city n a vacation city.. no big space stations.. no cool random encounters.. no bandit or alien raids.

We needed a better quest than grab 50 rocks in between tons of load screens. Then you get to go through a portal and grab the same 50 rocks in between tons of load screens and then again again again

I’m gonna gobble this game up when it’s $15 or $10 dollars. I refuse to pay anymore than that tho

It was kinda done a week after launch tbh

At this point I am expecting advertisements between zoning to a boss in Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda always pushes the envelope of what companies can get away with believing they have a right to our wallets.

But fun fact, Starfield is not done, because it’s still barely beta worthy

Starfield is a half-assed game built on an inappropriate & outdated engine that was shadow-dropped out of nowhere. Add in abysmal storytelling, shallow NPC behavior, terrible procedural generation, a total lack of support and an unjustifyably lengthy withholding of the official Creation Kit that made most modders flee the game in less than a year, and you get a 101 recipe for an industrial disaster. Starfield is a stillborn project that proved today’s BGS is only a shadow of its former self, which raises an extremely worrying red flag about the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6. It also proved that, more than ever at any point in time, Todd Howard is nowhere to be trusted and his name is done. Starfield is dead, and so is BGS.

I began playing EVE Online 14 years ago. I still play today. Like so many, I was intrigued by Starfield and I was willing to give it a shot. After a few weeks, the icon now sits on my desktop, untouched. The whole interstellar navigation thing was very frustrating. Really off-putting and clunky. It just made me not want to play. There’s huge potential for compelling storytelling. A pity I won’t get to see it.

Yeah one well crafted solar systems and a new system could of been dlc, Todd fucked the pooch on this one

Let it die. Also, Tassi is a shill, wouldn’t take his opinion seriously.

I’m still playing this for some reason

I had high hopes for this game, and it really let me down hard. Bugthesda has a lot of fence-mending to do before I ever drop any coin there again.

This game could of been huge, hell they even could of just kept adding things maybe add more FULL planets eventually. But they diddnt do any of that. Honestly they could have done a lot of things with this even after they released it and yet they just sat on it. I haven’t played this game in 2 years and have already completely forgotten it until YouTube did its thing. Just like how I’ve forgotten it constantly since it was hinted at all those years ago

What a bummer. That game sure sucked me in.. Well done Buzz!

Meanwhile, I just bought on steam so I could play the star wars Genesis mod.
I’ve already spent 50+ hours on it on Xbox

Firing Fraud Howard and Paper Planes Paglierulo is a step that must be done for the chance of having a better game.

Starfield was such a huge disappointment for so many people, my guess is now lots of people won’t pre-order now, and just wait if a new game is really worth the hype. Let’s not forget that content creators don’t have the time (and often can’t play past some point in the game) to really tell if a game is good or not. With Starfield, the many, many downsides only become very apparent way past the point where content creators could not play before official launch (or at least from what I understand).

Creations marks the end of Not just Starfield but Bethesda in General. Constant updates that they don’t even warn about which break mods which were nessacary to fill the gaps and close the holes in the gameplay and visuals. Bethesda makes a decent game, but when it realizes it has issue’s, the modders step in to fix it. That was the secret sauce to games like Fallout 4 and Elder scrolls. Which is why skyrim is still mod exploding to date. But their attempt to capture the mods so they could charge is catastrophic for Bethesda, They are bleeding heavily and don’t know they’ve been cut yet. I purchased, Fallout 4, Skyrim elder scrolls and Starfield. I will not by another. All these companies need to realize, MODS are the dominion of the player. If a Game company does a mod, that means they thought of something that should have been there to begin with. That means you want to be paid to fix what you didn’t do… Let it be a warning to ALL game developers. bring the game, put out to the audience their will be 2 or 3 updates and the timeline, stick to it, Then walk away, and let those who mod for the love of the game do their thing… A modder can place the mods they want, and if they want to charge they can I guess. But otherwise stick a fork in Bethesda, without a change their over in the next 5 to 10 years… OVER

The problem is that Shattered Space didn’t fix any of the actual things that make Starfield boring.

Bathesda biggest issue is it has bad upper management, and no real writers that have an idea how to make conhisive lore and storie any longer. I expect more of the same for their next game, lets just hope they finally drop the dead graphic engine finally.

Great start? You lying. Game has awful start. Full of bugs. Terrible performance. Ton of lies. Game made by separated teams, has no idea who did what.

Paul Tassi… yeah, a hack and a shill and defends the rainbow mafia against any form of critique, just as that other hack Jason Schrier.
This isn’t some “revolutionary insight” or “grand revelation”, we knew this 2 weeks after launch… that was 2 years ago.
Just because he just stumps his foot into the reality from time to time doesn’t make him a good journalist.
We simply do not hate games journos enough, no not even when they tell the truth since the truth has been known for years and they’ve been calling us slurs in the meantime.

I love the idea of the game but where Skyrim had depth in alot of the quests, starfeild did not. Its like they rushed through alot of the quest lines. Starfeild has the interest but it didn’t fully deliver like Skyrim did. My hope is that starfeild gets a good revamp and that they take a lonnnnnnnnnggg time making elder scrolls 6. Quality quest lines Bethesda please! Lots of love for what yall do though.

When was the l;ife a single player game detrmined by dlc lol its a single player game, just get an actual job man Youtube ain’t it for you bruh

Since their last unannounced game was a hit, I wouldn’t really read much into them just not doing the promo.

This game just needs to enter a Black Hole to never be seen again!

Todd Howard said they planned at least one big expansion for Starfield a year for around ten years as is the plan for ES6 and F5. I doubt the next one is cancelled, but I would guess for them to hold to that plan and not walk away, the expansion would have to sell very well and one year is not much time to fix the pile of issues Starfield has, let alone deal with things that can’t be changed like the god awful main storyline. Bethesda might even delay it to next year because they have to go big with this expansion or I do believe the game is cooked. EDIT: Pete Hines leaving is good for the company and its ability to change as would Howard retiring. Pete is a known demonstrable lying a-hat and I’ve never met anyone that worked with him with a nice thing to say about him and I did work in the industry for years. He’s the one saying Arkane would be left alone to do what it did best because “Prey sold well. Not every game has to make billions of dollars”. He’s the guy in an interview that said “Yes, you can get out of your ship and walk in a straight line and go around the entire planet and return to your ship”. He said that knowing damn well that wasn’t even close to being the case. The guy’s a dirt bag.

What another expansion ? Almost nobody play it anymore

I paid extra for early access, played 2 weeks and never returned. Couldn’t compare to the freedom of star citizen. I upgraded my PC, bought star citizen and never thought about starfield again.

Not only woke game but also bethesta slop.

I like the game, i don’t think its fair that people bashes it for their personal expectations. Maybe its still a bit too expensive

*So…What IS Happening With Starfield?*

Nothing, this game is trash and will always be.

Wait i thought it was dead like 6 months ago, why do we still care if it drpos new content or not. You fucks have neen calling Starfield dead, since it released…. But the way yall keep yapping about it still, doesn’t make it seem like the game is done or dead in anyway. And there still is the gamescon and game awards where they could show it off….. I agree its very slow, but the internet is hella annoying over Starfield. Yall say yall dont care, but keep talking about it every chance yall get😂😂

I just realized I have the dlc for this game

The writing sucked too

I enjoyed the first 20-25 hours of Starfield. After finishing the handful of unique and interesting stuff, it got boring quick.

Always remember that Microsoft own Bethesda. It could very easily be that they looked at the numbers for Shattered Space and deemed the investment for a new DLC not worth the potential revenue.

Out of all the disappointments in the video game world, this will always be the biggest for me.

Biggest thing that sucks w this game is the DOORS n loading…hence called loading sim..
in some areas i open a door every few seconds n game loads…
so couldnt they make a game for once whee a door could be opened n no loading(is that just beyond bethesda or what?)
Played through whole CP2077 w no direct loading at all….is for example starfiasko so much more demanding so it has to load in stuff for it to be able to play every few seconds in these areas???

if their next game has similar stuff w loading after every door= I WONT BUY IT!!
Who wants a game w 20% loading 50% gameplay n rest is as is!!

Stoped playing this after i “married” sarah i think her name was(a long time since i even launched this game now soo!

But will it ever get to be a more fun game?? ofcourse a few things was ok…shooting but seems to be to litle action n just traveling around(mayby later in game??)

So what would u call this game?? sci fi or what?

Thanks

HAHAH .. Starfield was the LAST bethesda game I will ever BUY. In the future I will wait until its free online.

I feel like people get too bored easy. I absolutely LOVE this game as is. One of my favorite games ever played and still play it and have a ton of fun. I think people want something new and fresh right away instead of fully experiencing and enjoying the game

Done as in fully completed or done as Bethesda is no longer working on it

its so sad but true

Sorry, but i can’t believe YouTube reviewers anymore. They said starfield was amazing and it was a snooze fest. I will not buy another Bethesda game again until they’ve been out for a yr, so i can hear real options, not bought ones.

Corporate greed and corporate way of thinking is what’s untimately at fault here. Nerds used to make games for other nerds, now it’s nerds catering to shareholders. That’s ok, I vote with my wallet and support indie games that are way more fun that what big video gaming corps are making. Try Deep Rock Galactic, Hell Let Loose, X4 Foundations, Rings of Saturn, Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2, etc. Plenty of good games

I wanted to play the DLC… than i found out about that they them thing… I was imedietly out!

Dog anybody play that shit game? I want my money back. Screw Starfield

Now it releases on PS5 to squeeze as much out of it as possible before the remaster

Todd’s original idea, his dream game, the one he poured his soul into. Had to wait for the tech to catch up to the vision. Yep.

Starfield wasn’t bad. it was ok. there was some fun to be had. BUT they didn’t show it love and support and they treated it like it was GOTY while it clearly wasn’t. The final nail in the coffin was charging for mods. that was a monumentally bad and stupid decision.

I was disappointed with SF from day 1. It is the perfect example of why games should not be made by committee. How many studio’s contributed portions of the game? It is a patchwork quilt of software and it shows. I really wanted to like the game and I pushed the grind because people kept telling me that it gets better but it never did. Shattered Space, other than the weightless poi at the start, was a complete snoozefest. I actually fell asleep 3 times during the endless/boring dialog before giving up and not finishing it.

Tremendously disappointing

I enjoyed my initial 250+ hours spent in the base game, but I was just done after that and none of the 7-$10 quests Bethesda added to the game made me want to continue. I was interested in Shattered Space initially, but watching gameplay convinced me otherwise.
Now, the new game based on The Expanse–that’s going to be a must-play for me and likely erase all memories I had for Starfield.

Who the hell is still talking about Starfield?

The ONLY thing good about that game was the starship building tool. That’s it.

Boring campaign, boring environment, lame social justice pandering, lame replay ability, lame every door loading screen. But hey you can personalize your ship with color.

Such a boring game, total waste of money!

I love Starfield, played the poop out of it huge hours, no doubt got my moneys worth, still play but not as much which isn’t a reflection on the game just the fact that you can’t play the same game forever. Some truly great mods have kept me playing this long and kept the game fresh. Starfield just hit the sweet spot with me, I grew up with a dad who worked for an aerospace company and my room was totally covered of pictures of rockets and space. The game was a bug fest when released, trying it’s hardest to melt my CPU because it was just so badly optimized, but they’ve fixed it and it runs great now. I do think they’ll have one more DLC in the fall about the Starborn, and if they don’t I’m sure a modder will make one since they doubled the size mods can be now, check out the Watchtower mod, it’s better than most Bethesda DLC’s . Darkstar also has a mod the redoes the whole game mechanics to make the game way more relevant to way higher levels. While I think Bethesda might lose interest in this game, I don’t think modders will and it will become something like Fallout 4 that people still play and modders still make mods for after all these years. I’m also OK with modders charging something for their quality mods, I want them to keep creating, I’m not Ok with modders charging for something a console command would do for free. If you haven’t played this game since when it first came out, give it another try because you just might enjoy it and it runs good now.

What use are “official modding tools” if to have a sizeable loading list one would have to spend many times the price of the base game? Game’s not worth that much

Imagine if licenses could be put together and you can have maybe 10 planets at most that you can fly to explore and the rest that you see is just for scenery, but here’s the catch. One of the planets home base is for aliens another planet homebase is for predators. Another encounter you can have as a cameo maybe Star Trek And then on the other side of one of the universes you could have Star Wars cameos….. and on other planets, you could have dinosaurs. 🤷🏼‍♂️

they don’t have talented ppl on staff anymore (not to mention they are constrained by quotas). DEI will do that every time

Shame.I’m 74 yrs old and grew up with NASA PUNK😊. Reminds me of Starfield. Slow with mistakes galore,but should keep going.👍🏿❤

Listen, no news is good news – for my wallet

BETHESDA is pretty much DONE ! the only hope is to start making their games in UE5…because the talent is there and experience, but their ENGINE is AWFUL

Starfield is ‘done’. Sure, it’s not topping Steam charts anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s lifeless. Most of the player base is on Xbox and Game Pass, where player numbers aren’t public – just because we don’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not there.

I’ve played Shattered Space and found it atmospheric, well-paced, and thematically rich – some of Bethesda’s best writing in years. Despite the silence at the last showcase, Bethesda has a track record of supporting games long after launch.

And if the modding community is any indication of life, let’s talk facts: Starfield has over 10,600 mods on Nexus Mods. That puts it among the top 20 most modded games on the platform. That doesn’t happen with a ‘dead’ game.

Just because something isn’t trending doesn’t mean it’s over. For many of us, Starfield is quietly growing into something deeper.

Like CEO ruined the industry, gamers / streamers and eSports are ruining the fun in games

Starfield released 2 years ago, the DLC has landed now it’s time to move on. Its not a live service game…

I can tell you this. I won’t be giving bethesda any more of my money.

I really hope they’re working on facial animations for tes6, better combat as well, change the engine for Chist’s sake

Performance woes were only on console – a lobotomized PC

I love starfield and I’m sad that they might be dropping it

They asked for my pronouns so I asked for my refund. Never got last the character creation.

Amazing. With all the proof,evidence that shows what the gamers really want, Bethesda still just dont get it. They have demonstrated they have learnt nothing from No Mansky, CyberPunk an GTA. If they cant get it right with Trillion doller MicroSoft,they never will. I Say get rid of Tod Howard.

Wonder what it’s like to spend 25 years making a pile of trash , oh yeah we have star citizen almost there . 15 years and a billion . You can put this and sc in the same pile .

It’s concerning that big studios are canabalizing themselves.

As more people spend money, the more money is spent on the next one to make it bigger and better.

I was never really a fan of Starfield, and I found it rather dull. But it DID have a ton of potential. Further updates, more DLC, fixes, etc could’ve made this game really good.

But because there wasn’t crazy strong numbers, Bethesda freaked and pulled the plug way to soon. Sad to see really.

dude my speak too Alben Lopez quest is still bugged so as usual they still dont propery fix their games and just rely on mods too boost gameplay

60 hours all lost. then 80 hours all lost. Woke discussing killed it.

I had high expectations for Starfield and was hoping I would be playing it until Elder Scrolls 6. But I soured on the game within a couple of months (hate ship combat) and stopped playing it. I’ve been hoping for more than a year it would die a quick death so they will concentrate on ES6.

It will be a great game when it’s on sale for ten bucks.
I’m still waiting. 😁

It is frustrating that there is no one game that does everything you want. All of the science-fiction games I play–Elite: Dangerous, No Man’s Sky, Starfield, even Space Engine–all have elements that I like, but I hope Starfield is not done because I only bought it about four weeks ago. I bought it because I wanted a game where you could explore your ship. NMS because of the size of the universe. Elite: Dangerous because of the story, Space Engine because of the quality of the graphics. Starship Simulator, an independent developer game, is coming and that is going to wipe the floor with all of the above games.

But, in the brief amount of time that I’ve played Starfield, I’ve loved it. Yes, the loading screens are a little tiresome but there is so much good stuff to enjoy, particularly as I mentioned the ship, outpost and city exploration. My only other issue is that while I have an i9 processor, an RTX 3090 graphics card and 24 Gb of video memory, 128Gb of system memory and the game on medium settings, my PC still has a hard time running it. I can’t afford to simply go out and buy a new graphics card or processor, and I simply don’t need any more system memory. But for what it is, Starfield is a good game, probably 3.5 stars out of 5. x

But didn’t starfield have a may update?

Good, let it die

very boring game, waste of money

I gave it a month and deleted it, absolute shit.

Bethesda have been a steaming heap for the longest time. Empty, boring games. Imprecise and muddy combat. Shite quality control and almost criminal wasted potential at every turn. I struggle to see where all the good will comes from. Players acting like Bethesda only, just now, has stumbled when they fell on their face so very long ago.

definition of a lame duck, this game is.

The lack of 6-8 week updates for bug fixes and QOL improvements killed this game but the reason we are all walking away is that there isn’t enough life or lore in the game to discover and tell our own story within.

Reminds me a bit of the Diablo 3 launch and how the game was basically cancelled after the first expansion came out due to poor sales. The remaining work that would have gone into a future expansion just got wrapped up and thrown out the door as small DLC, basically the same as the vehicles Starfield released later. They probably had that slated for a much larger expansion like shatter space, but after its launch, the writing was on the wall.

The biggest problem with Shattered Space is they tried to go back to what made previous games successful and shoehorn that in, instead of focusing on the *reasons* people bought Starfield in the first place. I bought a procedural space/exploration game and the DLC was a single contained map tile on a planet. What were they thinking?

LoadingFeild

To all starfield fans: eat your shit ;]. You are all lame because you like this piece of shit game. 😉 Have a nice one guys:)

Microsoft destroy everything look what happend to diablo now they lost it ….
And everything is becoming woke like shyte …….

Starfield is dope and its bots like you that tainted it.

How many dollars did you spend on the game? how many hours of play have you done? Work out hours by cost EG: 60 H divide by $100 = $1.66 for each hour played. Now go buy a cinama ticket for 2 hours watch time or go to a sports game for 4 hours. The game you own for life and can reinstall, the movie you watched is in the past along with the sport game. You don’t get your money back if it’s a bad movie or your team loses badly, do you complain .. no .. but a game that gives you hours of play for EG: $1.66 on a sliding scale thats lowering the longer you play .. hell yeah

Starfield could have been great. But no open space or astroids or mining. Manufacturing was bad, rushed and not thought out. There is no point in economy because one gun sells for $100k. Everything was badly done and pointless. And the story was boring as F.

Spaceballs 2!

I really did enjoy building the ships but content was pretty dry unfortunately

Paul Tassi is a Bungie deepthroate, but i agree with him that Starfield is done.

It’s boring,that’s why it’s failed. Big yawn. Sad they should have done fallout 5, what with the show etc recently.. missed the opportunity. Stupid.

I had a blast with shattered space. Dont know what youre talking about

Starfield needed more hand crafted detailed content and less procedural generated content…period. I can only clear out the same abandoned mine so many times on numerous planets. Procedural generation killed this game.

cause it’s a shit game that not even mods can save

Im glad i quit buying games ive missed out on alot of bummers.

This whole game was made for longevity and having the modders create the content, like skyrim. But mods don’t make a good game, you need to have a fun single player experience.

Starfield is the worst game I have ever played. It is boring.

Starfield was a mile long but an inch deep. it’s great for 40 hours. and that’s it.

If this was an indie game, thats fine, but big AAA studio doing this? End the end they will blame players!!! Praise for HelloGames and CDProjektRed, Bethesda its just another cash grabber corp goons

The Crash and burn of Starfield makes me sad. I really wanted it to do well. I am hoping their sense of honor will compel them to redeem themselves and come out with one more DLC that will make the game worth owning. Failing to do so will cause me to lose trust in Bethesda, and I will not take chances on them in the future.

Shattered crap like must of their games.This could of been a great game even after fumbling launch.

I had zero hype or expectations for this game leading up to its release, and I’m so glad I never cared. I still find it hilarious that there were people who paid $100 for week early access for this game. They made one DLC, people hated it, so they decided to call it quits on the game. If you’re not worried about Elder Scrolls 6 yet, you should be.

its a shame as starfield had alot of potential but bethesda just really dropped the ball and not even the modders can save it.

Starfield was done on day1

i dont know how to say it right ill say it as i can, they have the perfect formula with the elders scrols. all they have to do is make it in space. i think they had too much in mind. they wanted to make something ”new” but they didnt had to. everything they needed was already there

Bye Bye Starfield.

The problem is Microsoft bought Bethesda and ruined it.

The game never ran well on my system. I saw the guides online to go into my bios and adjust my system to run it better ect and i did but still did not run well. I ended up getting a gaming laptop and a 49″ curved samsung monitor and it worked. it still crashed.. or really lagged. building a super ship able to smoke fleets of enemy fleets was fun but after a while… needed something else. outpost were also fun but only for a while..

“Star- Beep Beep Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep -Failed.” Man, I was rooting for it to kill Star Citizen before it was born, but turned out to be nothing like it.

I have been hearing that since before the game released…..personally I love this game and still enjoy playing it…..just downloaded Watchtower and having a great time playing through it

It was a single player experience with a less modable system and a boring repetition design. So one and done for most.

Starfield the game I wont buy (I have all since Morrowind, Fallout 3), gamepass was enough for me already had more than 1000h already uninstalled from my PC and Xbox, not gonna play it again. I will play oblivion remaster, oblivion goty with a few graphic mods, Enderal (challenging game ideal for hot summer times). I will return to Fallout 4, if Fallout 3 remaster launch next year I will try it on gamepass if not, not buying it just replay the old one.

Game sucks anyway. It was a big mess of a game. So much developing could have made it better.

Iv no idea with the obsession with this game, its horrifically bad in every aspect…theres litterly hundreds of games worth talking about more than this

This game is trash. Every Bethesda game is trash. Its been down hill since morrowind and es6 will destroy them. Es6 will also be trash

I know I’m in the minority, but I freaking love Starfield. I’ve played it many times since it came out in 2023. The creation club mods keep it fresh, at least for me. But even without them, I really enjoy this game.

Starfield has no real satisfying journey. It just a set of events, none of which are very important.

Then at the ‘end’ – you get to do it all over again, without any of the stuff that you’ve earned. Stupid.

I hope we see Fallout New Vegas remake soon, as it it is the real hope for Bethesda nowadays.

I shudder to think of the mess that Elder Scrolls VI will be…

I mean i am playing it now and its fine i can see why a lot of people didn’t like it but honestly its really not that terrible. Honestly i think todd has gone full shadow drop mode 😂

Todd Howard’s arrogance has been Bethesda’s biggest problem. Approval by community and quantity over quality are probably the most well known mistakes in business. If Starfield was 1/8 the size with more density and less copy and pasted locations, it would have been a powerhouse.

I beat a single playthrough of the story and felt fine leaving it at that. The core gameplay wasnt fun enough to keep me coming back.

One more let down by Bethesda. 14 years since Skyrim. Very disappointing.

Again, I dont feel bad for people who wasted money on this game. When will people learn Bethesda is not the same game company ans unless they get rid of Todd Howard ES6….you have to be blind to think the game won’t be in the same state as Starfield. A boring-nothing-burger…

Oh, FFS. You people do this crap every time. Bethesda just doesn’t talk! Hell, we got STEALTH RELEASED OBLIVION REMAKE. But instead of acknowledging they play it close to the vest, you come up with this crap.

The sad thing is, if Starfield launched WITH shatered space as a core part of the design ethos, starfield would have probably done fine. It’s not as good as Fallout, let alone skyrim… but it was good enough. It was a decent experience. But the only reason I played it is because I made the mistake of buying the DLC with the launch of the game, because I’m a goddamn idiot.

Helldivers 2 is no longer region locked worldwide

I haven’t trusted anything Todd is saying for years..

Similar to F76 – Modders quite early stated that the game is berly modable vs what we are used to in older Bethesda games.
Making it at this point a dead game

I’d never follow a review again from someone who gave starfield a 10/10. That’s simple incompetency.

I know its a cliche’ but mile wide inch deep absolutely fits starfield.
the quests were laughably bad. I played through it at release and beyond a couple of the constelation people I can’t remember a single character from the game.
I’ve not played Skyrim in over 10 years and could still give you a big list of characters from that game and tell you stories of memorable quests.
NOTHING in starfield is memorable.

This game was dead on arrival. Nothing new or interesting to give, just felt like a worst elder scroll game.

If you’re a gamer, you won’t like the games Bethesda is making. They’re not as bad as NaughtyDruckmann’sDog, but they aren’t much more than a shadow of who they were.

Can’t believe I wasted like 35 hrs on that POS

Loading screen simulator

so… whats happening with starfield? : answer : nothing its dead and still absolute dogshit. there 12 mins in 5 seconds

From early on post-launch, it was very evident that there was too much fundamentally wrong with Starfield to make it fixable. The characters were pretty meh, lacking distinct personalities/opinions. The game had a story line based around NG+, but provided nothing to make a player want to play through it again, with no diverging quests, no impact on the world. The PoIs weren’t interesting, and typically repeat, down to the enemy and item placement. Boring factions with one city and maybe a town each. Enemies were humans with guns, humans with guns, humans with guns, and, oh yeah, we can’t forget the humans with guns. The leveling system, like with most Bethesda games, was meh. And so on. An exploration game with no reason to explore; an RPG with no compelling story, choices, or characters; NG+ with no reason to want to do it all again; and so on. The game was done then, and there was no saving it, but they were legally obligated to do a bit more. That said, does it mean Starfield is done done?

To that, I’ say no. Starfield is fundamentally flawed yes, but the ideas behind it have appeal. They were just executed very poorly. And so Starfield 2, a game that learns from all Bethesda did wrong, could work (so it’d probably have to be developed by someone other than Bethesda). A game with carefully handcrafted PoIs mixed with generated randomized ones, so we get both immersive and variable instances to explore, then that’s a step up. If itemization is tied to exploration, so again, we have a reason to explore, that’s a plus. If the dragon shouts are either scrapped or made into a bionic tree available to everyone, again, that would be an improvement. They need to set up the system so designers can make quests where players can impact things, be locked out of quests, and so on, Enemies need to feel very distinct from each other. And the Creation engine with its loading screens needs to go.

Basically, for Starfield, it felt like Howard had a dream of a massive scope, that 1000 planets, but not of a game, a fun experience that makes visiting those 1000 places worthwhile. And so they floundered about, trying to add game play to the scope, and just failed. If they actually start with an idea of a fun game to begin with, though…

LMAO…. it’s been done since people stopped defending thier purchase and realized…YUCK. I defended it for 2 weeks or so. Fired up skyrim an never looked back. Until this vid popped up on my feed. Still they neglected to add fun exploring or cool locations. They reached to far and couldn’t back it up

Nothing but silence for Starfield…You are surprised about this?😂

The game is just so… Souless. Shattered Space needed to be like far harbor. It’s closer to a dead squirrel served on fancy china.

Mods are what make Bethesda games and The Creation club is more like _BEING_ clubbed (and then robbed).
The free range Modders are leaving like the game is a used diaper storage facility on fire.

The procedural generation was such an anus decision… Starfield was designed by a committee of finance bros then squeezed out of over worked underappreciated devs who CLEARLY wanted to make something else the whole time.

Makes me wonder whats next, TES6: Thalmor Cash-shop slotstravaganza the revenge of horsearmor?

I liked Starfield and still do but thought Shattered Space was pure trash. Ramming religion down a players throat was a horrible game design decision. To play the DLC you have to join the “Serpent Faith” which most people in the Starfield universe despise and so do the players.

I bought my x Box X for Starfield because I wanted the full experience. It was a fine game, but it lost its appeal with repetitive scenery, missions, and the flying of space ships it gave me vertigo. The voice acting was awful, the lack of emotion and personality range got tedious and boring. So much so that I turned the voice volume down and just went with subtitles.

I told Pete Hines to his face that it was not a good move to make a game nobody wanted in mates for a game that can sell 50 million copies…he is a major reason why I’ll be dead before ES6 is released

I had a lot of fun with this game. Like 120 hours. I didn’t mind the loading screens or a lot of the things that people like to complain about. But marrying Andreja basically turned out to be my end-game. The settlement system was overly complicated. The “neverending story” aspect of the “+” progression seemed like it was going to be boring and repetative. I was done. Until Kinggath brings us Sim Outposts…

I remember when *_Starfield_* was launching and the super-hype surrounding it. It was the game that, supposedly, could not fail. All the bethesda fanboys were wrongly/incorrectly comparing it to *_Star Citizen_* , you know – #TheOneGameToRuleThemAll screaming, declaring & prophesying that it would be the #StarCitizenKiller🤣😂. Not only did it *NOT* phase *_Star Citizen_* *AT ALL* , it didn’t even phase the actual game that was it’s contemporary, *_No Man’s Sky_* . In fact the *ONLY* thing *_Starfield_* does better than *_No Man’s Sky_* is graphics (the more cartoony aesthetic of NMS graphics do turn a lot of gamers away).

The feature of being able to *MANUALLY* fly a ship down to the surface of a planet (and land) and launch from planet surface and *MANUALLY* fly back up into atmo & eventually outer space was really of a secondary concern to me because there are a lot of good Sci-Fi space game that do not have that feature and are still fun to play. For me it was the loading screens to just board and leave your ship. That was the deal breaker for me personally.

Been done

So sad to see this. This game had so much potential and the early game was a lot of fun and I especially loved building ships.

I have little hope for future IP’s from Bethesda, they are not the juggernaut they used to be nor is the community rallying around them as they have in the past. Poor decisions, overpriced mods and creation club crap they keep pushing. The fact that this is a single player game they are trying to treat as a live service game is absurd… horse armor… nuff said!

in addition there is no audio multilingualism, English is not spoken and understood on the whole planet Earth, only in some countries this also counts a lot when they want to sell their product, for example I completely stopped buying Ubisoft video games if Italian was missing in the past 90% of video games were dubbed in multiple languages, now with this fucking English they have really pissed me off, reading subtitles is not much fun in a video game

Starfield cannot be saved, not even by modders. It doesn’t need a new ship, or better looking weapons/characters, or a few new quests… it needs an _entire rewrite_ of story, lore and characters and a focus on building up a few planets rather than randomly scattering dungeons all over “barren” worlds.
Bethesda completely forgot what makes their games popular with this game… they seemed to want to make a story driven shooter with a little rpg and exploration tacked on to the end rather than an open world RPG… and failed at both.

Such a shame. Loved Starfield. Just needed more content

Good get everyone off of starfield and focus on elder scrolls 6. Starfield never should have happened in the first place

Starfield needed aliens 👽
It should have been Skyrim in Space
What a missed opportunity so boring

Ubisoft catches a LOT of shit, most of it rightfully… BUT at least when they come out and their game doesn’t do amazing, they spend months if not years building it up. Ghost Recon Breakpoint, For Honor, even the newer Skull & Bones, all FLOPS at launch but Ubi stuck with it built it up — STARFIELD could have been incredible, but thanks to some of the WORST NARRATIVE content (so fucking boring) and some other dumb decisions, it was just MEH. It’s players who are making the game much better. Instead of improving it, Bethesda is just letting it sink.
SO MUCH FOR THEIR TEN YEAR PLAN.

You know if STARFIELD was the Frankenstein monster all of you would be the enraged villagers chaseing after him please find another game to clobber over the head damn

Shattered Space really felt underwhelming considering how long it took them to make it. I don’t expect anything to follow.

You can’t fix garbage story. The story only served to fuel new game plus. As a result I felt no connection to the world of starfield ultimately no choices (the few that existed) mattered. Might be a rare example of a patch reconning the entire story al la infinity nikki would probably make the game better. Counting on modders to fix the game is disgusting.

Starfield is done and No Man’s Sky not any better what are we left with when it comes to space type games?

It makes you wonder how many people would still play Skyrim without modders.

Still can’t believe how many people glazed this game 😂 it was such trash. Like always depended on its modding community to FIX basic issues that shouldn’t have been in the game. Loading screen the game, no map, garbage writing, almost forced linear story, empty WORLDS and even worse solar systems 😂.

Bethesda will never move forward until Todd Howard is gone. He can only make 1 game, and it’s outdated and tired.

bethesda chose d.e.i and to die rather than sticking with what works. its a company that is supposed to provide escapism that doesn’t provide escapism. unless they drop d.e.i. and get rid of those hires I don’t think elder scrolls six is worth waiting for at this point.

Starfield was done at day 1 cause it was never done (finished). An unfinished, rushed mess who made Skyrim and Fallout 4 look even better

In Short.. they over promised couldn’t execute & the GAME IS BUGGY AS HELL & no one cares. The Community is so SEVERELY toxic & such a wasted title. Pathetic game & team behind it. Literally the only reason I play is for the shipbuilding & it took almost 2 years to get to WHERE IT SHOULD’VE BEEN AT LAUNCH!!!!!! Don’t EVEN TRY TO Land on a populated planet… Trash.

I swear, some of you just like to bytch

They’d announce 50 new games and you’ll bytch about why certain games weren’t talked about.

Like the entitlement in gaming is amazing .

Didn’t starfield just release dlc a while ago?

I know Starfield is you engagement warriors piñata. So I’ll leave you to it.

The lesson to be learned is that crap offered as good games still is crap. The potential of this, and other games, seems as if it would be successful, but somehow mediocrity, buggy and weird are what we receive.

Creatively bankrupt slop from the fraud AA developers at Bethesda

Bethesda announced one DLC. They have delivered that DLC. You need to stop perpetuating this weird narrative that every release is somehow going to be Live Service.

well not surprised this was terrible game, it need bigger cities, bigger ships, Landing pads way to small for a space faring society, Not enough exploration and quests for a Bethesda game, Ship building was way to annoying (ladders and doors people) Base building was crap, Highly Annoying and Useless .Though it did have its good points But after 1 play through and rushing the alt worlds was not very appealing and didn’t want to do it all again many other good and bad points as this game could of been epic Without the alternate Same world shit.

Played it on its release and to be honest it was hardly something it was made out to be and went back to playing Ark.

I did one play through and that was it for me, didn’t even bother to get the expansion anymore.
Never again…

Yet again another game in which you’re introduced into a world where all of the cool shit has already happened.

I do like the game as a sandbox. But yeah it’s far from perfect ^^ I don’t think it’s done yet.
The next Elder Scroll has already a strong lore so the writing could be better (maybe). The gameplay mechanics tho , the quest design, the combat….. oh boy. We’ll see how it goes

Starfeild was done at launch, lets be real. It’s success was banking on misplaced blind faith that Bethesda would deliver… and they didn’t.

I thought Shattered Space was it, idk what everyone was anticipating after that

honestly would have been better to set it within one solar system

I liked Starfield but I got some bugs especially when I got back to home that I couldn’t play the game in the end.

But i havnt played shattered space i heard it was terrible ..they made it a mile wide and an inch deep

I find myself coming back and still playing it sure it wasnt what i wanted but i like space games

They should make a Starfield 2 and have 3 or so planets and make each planet fleshed out. Make each planet lived on. Make them each the size of Skyrim or maybe Oblivion and make them actually loaded with content just like their previous games. None lf thos procedural generation bullshit. It doesn’t belong in a Bethesda game to this extent.

starfield lost me after day 9, I pre-ordered I wanted it to zoom to the top of the gaming mountain. But alas, When I couldn’t fly my ship. Then I quit for a couple of days, When I started, I thought I had saved in the wrong place. I went into the building and realized it was the same building I was in the day before, different worlds same building, I mean down to where the ink pen was on the desk. I played a couple more hours then it dawned on me this game was shit, and I was done. The gaming gods must have saw a joke in the making and the controller I bought with Starfield literally fell apart. so I had a hundred dollar lesson to never pre-order at least from Bethesda. And wait two weeks before investing in a new release.

I thought this game died a long time ago honestly. I played it for like 10 hours and honestly I couldn’t vibe with it. Just fast traveling everywhere do 1 thing then fast travel somewhere else. Skyrim I loved just going around exploring. It’s a shame because I was very excited about this like I was about 76 but we all know how that worked.

You know what’s really funny is them saying Starfield‘s done it isn’t done all you need to make is a really good DLC but you didn’t. You made a half ass DLC and I played it. you didn’t add any new ship parts you didn’t add any new interesting mechanics. You just made a big open area and I’m so tired of them but there’s a half ass shit that’s why I didn’t spend money on fallout 76. I knew that they were just gonna half ass everything on that game. The second I seen the trailers that were only live action and that’s all they ever show. And I already know elder scrolls six as fuck because they removed all the female armor from oblivion. They didn’t remastered it. They didn’t make it look better. They just put male armor on the females disgusting the person behind that should be fired and unifying the statues well, you can’t make a proper remastered. You have to fuck with the actual Look at the game and they were so gung ho about making oblivion habits, unique style but yet they neutered every bit of uniqueness when it came to females so am I excited for the next Bethesda launch no I’m not they made their bed and I’m going to laugh my ass off cause I’m not buying their next game. Starfield deserved better than one DLC.

The only way Starfield can be saved is a complete redesign and/or a change of engine.

It didn’t need dlc anyways, I still play the game. As soon as you got past the terrible writing in the base game, man that game can hold you forever. I’m fine with them moving on, honestly this is for the best especially for the modding that’ll come out in the future

Given everything I’ve read and seen of this game I’m glad I didn’t waste money on it.

I quit like 3 quarters into this game

Why does it surprise anyone this game was a mistake never should have shipped

Starfield was the lastgame i pre ordered. They fool me good.

I picked this game back up last week and I’ve honestly been enjoying it a lot.. they did listen to the community and improve a few things

OMG again these talks about gayming, everywhere. When will the woke nightmare end?

another 70$ bluff…🙄

Bethesda delivered a poor game and made a fortune and mugs out of the millions who bought the game on hype. Now they’re delivering a slap in the face for those who did like the game. But, hey, they’ve got our money so job done, I guess.

Starfield was suppose to be a great Space game!

No Man’s Sky is now the best. Not even close.

The game missed the mark and the developers have no intention to reacquire it. It’s over.. My suggestion to Bethesda is make a game for adults, not kidults. People do not need an NPC Nanny

Stealth drops

Star field was the biggest car crash in gaming history, a lesson to everyone on how to get things very wrong. Bethesda had the gaming world in the palm of thier hand and decided to wash them off.

The Mass Effect games give you lots of planets you can scan for resources but can’t explore. Bethesda lets you explore them all but those without interesting content were boring for many players. Maybe they should have followed the Mass Effect model.

Most single-player games do drop off significantly soon after launch, but Bethesda is used to Elder Scrolls and Fallout games sticking around for years.

Fk starfield

Glad Bethesda’s done with it, now the modders can finally work without updates breaking everything. The complete Star Wars overhaul is also nearly finished!

? Was it not already?

They dont have to show anything. Bethesda has been a garbage company after Skyrim.

They really should have made a colony expansion dlc where MANY more colonies are made on many different worlds and also unlock all the abilities for the player to create their own colony, with functional NPC and workers, threats, the works.
And perhaps expand on orbital satellite stations and let people make those as well as making SPACE better.
There is a opportunity to NoManSky Starfield level of comeback here but it seems Bethesda maybe doesn’t want to, likely due to lack of in-house talent capable of doing it properly (they have talent, just not well organized and focused)

I still like playing the game but it’s so much out it just got lost in the backlog of games I have I was planning on going back to it see how it goes

Starfield sucks and will always suck. The only reason they did so good at the beginning was because you couldn’t figure out how to play it until you played it too long to get a refund (2 hrs).

Helldivers absorb this game please as a resource or harvesting game to supply Super Humanity

It’s funny how loud they were that no matter what Starfield is not going anywhere they planned to support game for years to come. It took them what a year to say that Stargield is done. Game had lots potential It’s shame that such game have such incompetent team who just could not make this is game in something it deserves to be.

Starfield seemed like a worse Outer Worlds. Bare in mind that I think Outer Worlds is boring and soulless as it is.

The idea building this game was obviously to let modders create the experience. what they gave us is a pile of shit skeleton of a good game

They’ll do some small dlc, but there will be no more expansions, which of course Todd Howard lied again, he needs to be fired immediately.

Millions of players… thank goodness they didn’t fabricate and fake those numbers. Rave reviews at release? Well…. people were raving about the game for sure.

One of the lowest ratings for a game of its magnitude ever released on Steam. Yes.

And then of course there was that one comment by Todd, “If it runs poorly on your computer, go buy a new one” Great advice in the middle of an economic depression.

Great game overall, but with the gross amount of creation club items that are way overpriced, and only one DLC that was clearly content cut from the original launch, bethesda would need to put in effort and stop lying about the fact this was a total No Man’s Sky launch. The game was at many points empty, and they thought some dude from Sweden or wherever was going to convince gamers that we were dumb and that the “realistic emptiness” is what makes the game soooo authentic. There is tons of potential, but they were totally banking on the playerbase making mods to finish the game which is just a sleazy business practice, especially since they’re literally getting jealous of the higher amounts of positive feedback modders were getting so they decided to just break all the mods. Nobody is going to convince me it was a coincidence that the same exact day Fallout New London launched Bethesda would release a literal game breaking non revertable patch. The shamelessness lmao. Im still a bethesda fan but they totally need to either lower their goals to make complete projects that they can then expand on completed games post launch, or put all their focus into less active projects so they arent cutting massive droves of content and selling them as separate DLCs.

It’s hilarious that this was the game Microsoft purchased all of Zenimax Media to keep away from Sony, expecting it to be a Skyrim successor. It turned out the complete opposite! I think it’s a good game, but it’s not a groundbreaking game like Microsoft and Bethesda were hyping it up to be, and lacks the soul of previous BGS games.

I was so interested in this game. It looks like Elite Dangerous x2
Loved that game but it desperately needed more. Thought this game was going to be it but guess not

i own the shattered space DLC but never played it. i enjoyed Starfield I didn’t hate it but there is nothing to return to, it doesn’t have the ability like an elder scrolls game at replayability. I have never completed the skyrim main quest yet because I always get distracted by the game’s ability to let me just go off and find something to do. Starfield doesn’t have that, you can play it once and I include going to different universes as playing it once. But every time you get to a new universe it is the same story. You also lack the ability to just go off and do whatever you want like you can in any and every elder scrolls game because there was content to go off an do whatever you wanted. There just isn’t much to do outside the faction quests and the main quest. Yet in other Bethesda titles there is so many locations that you can go and just explore. Then get huge number of choices for what to do next. Starfield was a far more contained story and I just don’t have the desire to replay the story, partly because I’ve done it too many times with the multiple universes.

Loadingfield is dead

It was done after it launched. Hard to believe this was their “Magnum opus” I have no hope for the next elder scrolls and neither should anyone else.

Love starfield still. Grinded and basically maxed out. Loves the dlc as well.

Words to describe Starfield: bland, insipid, vapid, soulless, and an empty husk of a game.

Meanwhile No Man’s Sky put out its 20th free content update and the game has an almost impossible amount of content to finish now. What are these other companies even doing?

They’re working on the PS5 port. For obvious reasons, they aren’t going to announce that at an XBOX SHOWCASE. There absolutely will be more StarField content drops along side/after the Playstation port.

Mid field. Milk toast field. Loading field. Howard warshippers field. I dunno how to play harder games and this game holds my hand field. Waste of a dev time field. Just make a damn Fallout game already field.

Shattered Space needed to be Far Harbor, but instead we got Horse Armor. The trust is gone.

There are AAA chickens like Bethesda/ EA (remember ME Andromeda or Anthem) that only do want money… and then there are true gamers like Larian studios and Hello games, which didnd chicken out, and fulfilled their promises, for free.

Bethesda has been busy with the oblivion remaster and now the rumored fallout 3 remaster and potentially a fallout new Vegas remaster to go with the new season of the show coming out.
I believe starfield can get updates required to become a great game at its core, but I also believe it will always need mods. I believe Bethesda will deliver eventually. I mean cyberpunk took over 3 years to finally be fun and even come close to delivering on the promises that were made. Let’s not write Bethesda off just yet

I like Starfield & wished Shattered Space was better! I love NMS & I play it way more than Starfield! I hope they release a new DLC later this year, but I am not holding my breath!

Too bad it is toast. Still to this day some quests are not completable without console commands

I don’t understand why Starfield is getting trashtalked and CP77 is praised… Both have flaws. But I found both games to be very similar when playing them. They’re very different though since CP77 delves more into the Cyberware Combat stuff in 1 big city whereas Starfield doesn’t have that but it’s possible to build outposts and customize spaceships. But atleast Starfield got me through the entire game. In CP77 I’m somewhat into Act 2 and I don’t get that “I wanna play this when I get home” feeling from it.

Idk I know both sides have their opinion but I don’t know why one is getting shit on and the other is praised when they’re pretty much the same game but with different depths (in my opinion).

I hadn’t played this game since last July. Turned it on just to learn one bug still has not been fixed. I have a Ryujin geologist and some workers stuck on my ship. Still there. Mission is NOT in my lists, period.

Also downloaded a mech feature for outposts, but it glitches the build function when I try to make it. It’s like Bethesda just figured mods would keep this crap game going, and gave up on it. Most decent mods are $10 a pop. Just no…

If Bethesda’s leadership(not the devs) had half the passion for this game as the leadership at Hello Games had for NMS… 😔. They showed what the game “could be” and then they said, no, it’s not that. Whether you like or not like the game, they delivered what they promised. Nothing more, nothing less. This is why pre-ordering are for simps. STOP pre-ordering.

It is plain and simple. Todd Howard and Bethesda( if I had to guess) counted on the modding community to pick up the slack and carry Starfield on thier back. The modding community kept Skyrim revelevant for years otherwise that game would have never lasted as long as it did. Bethesda has been soaking the modding community as a whole for years.

The only Bethesda ip I am even interested anymore is Wolfenstein and they will probably let that die.

🥱

I called this before it even launched. Starfield, as a Bethesda title, was either DOA, or it would barely survive its first few years because, let’s face it, Bethesda is a lazy, incompetent development studio whose visions far outweigh its technical capabilities or leadership quality. Skyrim was lightning in a bottle, and we’ll never see anything like it again. Not from Bethesda, at least.

Modders are leaving. I dunno, maybe the wannabes that dont really put out good product are leaving but the game in the last couple months just got 2 HUGE paid mods that are doing great in Darkstar and Watchtower. Not really a sign of a game that is dead. The game is just not for you twitch gamers. Go play COD and buy more shark cards in GTA.

Good summary and coverage.
I can’t help but wonder if they looked at how the modding community has kept games like Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout running, well past DLCs and content.
If I’m being honest, I played Skyrim for about a year. Modded Skyrim, I played for 6 years.
Fallout 4, I played for 6 months. Modded Fallout, I played for 3 years.
I’m wondering they felt like the modding community was going to “breathe extra life” into the game and keep the ball rolling.
Not defending this if that’s the case. Just wondering.

What happened to Starfield? A disgraceful company like Microsoft, thinking more to gay prode than keeping promises to players. That’s it

Bethesda created a bad game believing modders would save it as usual.

They decided to charge for mods.

Modders went away, and now people can see how bad Bethesda is making actual games.

I played this for about a week and that’s it… its’ fallout 4 in space…

The major difference between Cyberpunk and Starfield is that although Cyberpunk’s performance was a glitchy mess, it had a solid game play loop and story. In contrast, Starfield’s performance was actually lauded at launch as one of the “least” buggy BGS launches, its core problems were/are the gameplay and story.

The reality is that with time, Cyberpunk’s graphical issues and performance were corrected, as they were essentially cosmetic fixes. Conversely, Starfield’s core gameplay and story can never be fixed, as that would require essentially writing a brand-new narrative with redesigned gameplay based on a modern game engine.

Ultimately, that is why Cyberpunk continues to live on through its patches, whereas Starfield is regulated to the discount bin of abandoned games, unsupported and soon to be forgotten.

I think they’re trying to do something. they can’t figure out how to make it work and its holding the next update back. they probably PLANNED to announce at xbox but whatever it is wasn’t ready. So they kept their traps shut.

All the bethesda developers are playing Claire Obscure and Kingdom Come 2.

I played it on gamepass, I thought it was ok, it was fun for a couple months, exploring was fun at first but there really wasn’t anything different on the planets. I did a bunch of random stuff but I got bored and never finished the story. Launching @ 30fps was bad for the game and xbox, it made the game look old and also showed ( again ) that the “most powerful xbox” is not able to run their own games @ 60fps.

Todd Howard has to go. Fallout 76 launch disasters, then Starfield. Too many fanboys and fangirls worship Todd Howard as a god.

Not me! The product you create says a lot about how that person manages the company and the quality of its product.

I remember how disgusted I was when I saw the map of the city you first visited. This so-called map was from an AAA game company, come on! It was Todd Howard’s fault, and to me, it so how much Bethesda has a we do not care attitude. They will fix it later because they know the fanboys/fangirls would accept any B.S.

Elder Scrolls 6 is already doomed by Todd Howard’s management style and quality controls. I am not wasting any time on fanboys/fangirls hype. They see a screen shot of Elder Scroll 6 and they get horny as hell. As one fanboy said before the game was released, “Take my money now!”. He stopped producing Starfield content long ago Bethesda got its money.

First play through is fun. Great . My second play through was a bit stale. Haven’t played since.

Starfield was done for me a month after it came out. It never got any better so I uninstalled it and never went back to it. No Man’s Sky is awesome though.

Starfield was DOA

Bethesda is as good as dead. They’re games were garbage 10 years ago. They’ve done nothing to invest in being their creation engine up to today’s standards. They are building games on 25 yr old tech trying to slap some fancy shaders on it. You can put lip stick on a pig and it’s still a pig

Paul Tassi has the amazing ability of being a slowpoke midwit that takes years to reluctantly admit what “grifter anti woke” youtubers can identify on day 1. No one should listen to that dork.

Bugthesda is history.
Todd and homies have destroyed the company.
Their best days are way behind them.
I have no confidence that Elderly Scrolls Six will be of value.

Okay, that’s a bit harsh.
How about Elderly Scrolls Six will be mid to low value?
Todd, if you want to put a cherry on top, sell the game for eighty bucks.
What’s the worst that could happen?

Some people said Starfield was boring. That’s not true. When RL astronauts landed on the RL moon they weren’t bored. BGS said that… And they never lie. Todd said so. Probably.

Is it free on gamepass? You don’t have to own the Art Book to play it anymore?

overwhelming game review’s I don’t know what youtubers you were watching but the ones I watched was bad if you meant overwhelming bad reviews then yeah I agree.

It’s a pity. This game had so much potential, it just needed a bit more love from Bethesda.

I stopped playing when it asked me to pick my pronouns

I played the game from release and built a decent charachter and had an awesome base with collected items from the game nicely stored and collected. Then the patch happens and all of that is gone. I never went back and will never go back. My loss i guess.

People dont want to play an RPG game with a shorter half life than semen, Its a buggy and bland mess.. playing it you quickly realise that EVERYTHING is just a copy paste and poorly written borefest

Bethesda is some of the worst communicators. But I would expect more DLC. If like with Oblivion, they do what Todd actually wants, and has minimal announcement to launch. I dont know if its worth it, but I would expect a DCL each year until TES6. Sony showcase, then dlc trailer, available same day as launch to all players. I’d put money on it. No way they walk without another monetization option, even if it sucks. There’s still years out from a new micro transaction platform.

That watch tower hit different it’s not dead it’s getting better and better just wait

As a Bethesda fan of many years, I grew disappointed over the last couple of years. I played Starfield soon after launch for maybe 100 hours, then stopped. It was all very confusing and no good explanations available.

That has changed. Lots of excellent youtube videos are available on almost every aspect of the game, making it much more fun now. So eventually, I‘m back at playing it. And I like it a lot. Not all of it, but in open world games, you can pick your favorite stuff.

What is lacking, comparing to other games is

– animation (NPC look outdated)
– storytelling (compare it to engaging stories like The Last Of Us ore even Horizon) is not done well.
– Repetitive content, like Planets resembling each other quite often, with the same facilities. Not unique locations, you would remember.

Still, I like the technical aspects, like shipbuilding a lot. And I‘ll keep playing it until maybe someday TES VI comes along …

Gamers: ‘We want Elder Scrolls VI!!! We want Fallout 4!!!
Bethesda: ‘Nah…you want Starfield, you just don’t know it yet.’
Gamers: Homie don’t play dat.

After 2400 hours on Starfield it fine with no new DLC, it’s got new mods and enough content for over 2000 hours i am proof and those that didn’t like or skipped it due to the hate over the game it’s their loss🤷‍♂️

I didn’t have an Xbox, but I was fully on the hype train for this one. At the time I was searching for an XBox to play it. I had it in my cart and was seconds from buying. Something held me back (probably got distracted to be honest) and I didn’t get to purchase. Then players reviews started coming in. Pointing out all the problems with the game. Bear in mind I’m a pretty forgiving gamer (casual, 2 kids, married, job) I’m not looking or expecting perfection, mostly just distraction and escapism. I started seeing the same complaints across the board from streamers, friends, etc and was glad I missed it.

Scrap future work on it. Put all your efforts into Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 5. Make it up to us by creating a phenomenal experience for those 2.

The death nail for me was the Bounty Hunter faction. I left the game when they added that faction then charged 7 dollars for the second mission.

I could forsee ES6 coming with the normal factions. Thieves Guild, Dark brotherhood, ect. Then you’d have to pay extra for the quest lines.

I just couldn’t stand by and let them get away with that. I quit Starfield and canceled Gamepass.

Starfield really showed what sort of quality you can expected when modern Bethesda doesn’t have the hard work of the two groups that made TES and Fallout 1+2 respectively to fall back on. This is what happens when the management is bad at their job and meddle in all the wrong ways.

If they do release a dlc it will probably come out in October or November and a ps5 release in August or September. But they probably would make more money and it would be easier to just release it on ps5 and just forget the dlc. And put all hands on elder scrolls 6

Pretty obvious they are going to release the PS5 version coming autumn along with the next DLC

What’s so shameful is Bethesda are a huge company, and Hello games even today are bigger now, but no where near Bethesda’s level.And even today No Mans Sky is still recieving big updates, but maybe that’s because one studio has passion and the other is a big corporate company with no passion and lot’s of money behind them so they don’t care, very sad.😔

I wanted this game to be amazing. I mean I even bought a High End PC just for Starfield. (So Glad I did lol) The game at about 100hours in I realized wth is this game?! I dropped it. So sad it just missed the mark I am not even sure what they were thinking just not a good game IMO

I actually had a lot of fun with the gameplay mechanics of Starfield, but what kept me from really loving the game was the fact that is was an RPG where all your choices, all the plotlines, all the characters, were normie-tier reddit slop, topped off with a big ol’ globohomo-DEI enema (mandatory). Get me OUT of this bubble wrapped kid friendly universe, this is like the fast food and/or family amusement park equivalent of a game.

So many things in Star FIeld were just utter dogshit. Its faster to list the things they did right than bitch for 10 minutes over all the shit they did wrong. Lost all faith in Bethesda, Still amazed to see 22 million players for starfield, i wonder how many hours each one of those people put into it.

Fan of Starfield? 😀 😀 😀 Maaaaaan That must hurt. 😀 Its a slop.

Three types of haters against starfield:
1. Racists
2. Jealous Sony ponies
3. Skill issue

This game will always have a small niche. I, for once, should love if Bethesda stops with the crappy scam of paid mods and updates.
If Morrowind’s still alive…

LOL fans had not real reason to think anything would happen and are not owed anything.

also – Paul T is not worthy listening to about anything.

Hi so I enjoy starfield out around 700 plus hours new game plus 10 etc and have plenty of paid mods. But I totally agree with all criticism and agree with the 8 hour video critique of Starfield. What annoys me is why aren’t Bethesda adding to it and supporting it, the whole paid creations thing does not sit well with me. Yeah I’ve spent a few hundred on credits and have paid mods and watch tower but same old story things don’t work to well get issues with watch tower and crashing etc. I’m also not playing Starfield as much now, I’m taking my time else where Elsweyr lol 😜 🐈, I wish Starfield was more condensed and focused it’s still a whole lot of nothing. I’m not really excited for the next elder scrolls either if I’m honest and fallout 4 is still broken next gen patch and creations on there no love at all. I don’t hate Starfield but it just shows how Bethesda are and flaws and all. Anyway let’s see I guess.

One system, 10-15 planets, hand crafted with tonnes of quests, Skyrim in space, how tf do you mess that up?

Click-bait

It’s just empty

Put it on. Playstation and let them enhance the game and have more players. So the game won’t go out of business

There is no fixing Starfield. The game is terrible in every possible way. Garbage to the bones.

I love this game. Idk why it gets so much hate.

nothing’s happening. it never has happened. the game’s a worthless pile of feces…

Still playing it mod’s coming out still it’s not done

Just because people repeat things over and over, does not make it true. Starfield has tons if fans and is making mad loot off of the 1400 or so paid mods. That is roughly 10% of the total number of mods (all from the abandoning modders). Bethesda’s misstep is not giving the trolls the middle finger and going all in on the hardcore like Eve or more recently Star Citizen. No Mans Sky is abysmal, and I played Cyberpunk for a day before the controls drove me to drink… not everyone likes what you like. I haven’t played another game since September, and I don’t see that changing until the Expanse comes out.

4:40 I bought a premium vid card and got the ultimate version of Starfield for free when it came out. I played through most of the main game. Never returned for Shattered Space. It’s one of those games that puts up a convincing argument for a short time that “the best is yet to come”. But it never comes.

When I discovered each planet was just some randomly generated limited area with repeating structures dotted throughout, I lost interest. Nothing was interesting. The universe and story were dull. If there is one thing the last 10 years have taught us is that hand crafted experiences are better than procedurally generated. At least for now.

Starfield is actually a great fun game to play, the only thing that annoys me is the lack of anything on the planets, and that shattered space dlc was so bad I deleted it, forget dlc just put more things on the planets

The game story was designed for new game plus. But there is zero replay. Zero choice. It’s a slog without a payoff. They dropped the ball and blamed us for it.

The game would be great if they would have just left it alone and quit breaking mods.

the only thing going down with starfield is the player count…there was literally one npc i liked in starfield and they killed her

Shame, I like Starfield.

What’s crazy to me is I played Star-field at release…. & I honestly don’t remember playing the game now. Lol.

With Cyberpunk 2077 in the state it’s in, there’s absolutely no reason to play Starfield.

According to everyone on you tube all games suck because they aren’t like gta

Starfield is done. The article is spot on with it. I got the game hoping it would be good. The only thing that kept me playing as long as I did was ship building and mods. But not mods I must pay for. Sadly the modding community gave up on the game early. While there are a few left with some skill, most have bought into the creation money grab.

What I find funny is how some people are now bashing bethesda for seemingly abandoning starfield when they also told bethesda to abandon starfield repeatedly.

Make up your minds toxigma fanboys. Almost sounds to me like they just wanted the game to fail and it makes me seriously question these peoples agenda. Not even ‘defending’ starfield here, just flat out stating what i’m seeing here.

A part of me thinks if Starfield just simply looked better, it would’ve been more successful. So much of what makes No Man’s Sky work is the planets, with their vibrant colors and dreamlike sense of eccentricity, they can inspire true awe when you’re on them and when you come upon a planet with those unique few traits that make it truly a wonder to just be on and explore. Every planet I found in Starfield was ugly as hell. It was muddy and not much to look at. Hell, the “Earth” planet is literally just sand. Bethesda games tend to have this sort of washed out look to them and it works for Fallout because everything is rustic and broken, but it does not work so well for Starfield, which should be a lot more adventurous and bright.

It’s crazy that, a few weeks ago when I accidentally installed a game on my xbox and it didn’t have enough space on the main drive (but my expansion card had plenty), it chose to _uninstall_ starfield from the main drive without even asking rather than install the new game on the expansion drive. I hadn’t played it since about november 2023 and was already considering uninstalling it, so thanks xbox for making up my mind!

Only thing it has going for it is its Star Wars add on

Rather than comparing to Cyberpunk 2077, I’d say compare it to Baldur’s Gate 3, which actually moved up it’s launch to get breathing room from Starfield. Check BG3’s Steam numbers now.

The main problem with Starfield is the Creation Engine, and more precisely its limitations.
You just don’t make that amount of empty planets with a 32bits engine. It also have a negative impact on all others aspects of the game. You can’t explore all of the planet you are on and you have just a small square to explore, it put a lot of limitation with the number of complex and massive objects on screen, its limiting AI in every way, it drastically increase the number of loading screens which destroy the immersion…
Beside the engine, the over-use of procedural generation makes all planets look the same, the outposts are the same, fauna and flora are redondant… and i’m not even talking about the story line which is so bad it feels it’s written by a teenager… It’s a disaster.

Paul Tassi is notorious for being anti-Xbox, sadly this time I’d have to let the PlayStation console warrior have this one!

So they learned nothing from NMS. Figures, when they could have fixed and filled the game with content. They said support for ten years and if that was so, we would have seen content added. They meant, supported as long as the Modders did their work.

Well they could hire Kinggath and let him put together a team of modders to make more dlc s even an expansion. That would be better than them doing. Them doing nothing hurts their credibility and may make players hesitate when it comes to ESVI.

elder scrolls 6 lol

Man, back with Fallout 4I was a 110% Bethesda fan boy. I had thousands of hours into modding and 12 playthroughs of Fallout 4. Then we got Fallout 76 and I just felt so ripped off by them. That game was such an obvious attempt to “live service” the Fallout series and they sacrificed the absolutley perfectly built lore for that game. It completely killed my belief in Bethesda and Todd. I chose not to buy Starfield at launch and boy am I glad I didn’t. I would have loved to see it be a masterpiece and have jumped in on Steam a year after launch, but the whole “wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle” thing turned me off of it, along with all the identity politics.

Starfailed was born dead and the only argument left is how badly the corpse has rotted.

MS is a 3.2 trillion dollar companies, they have “Zero” tolerance for not making their financial numbers. Even if you think it was the best game ever, they don’t care about that, they only care about how much money did it make with in a curtain time period. MS buying Bethesda didn’t give them a blank check, and I believe they made cut to save money. If you your are a small company you can fight to save your game, but when you get purchase by a big company, is just numbers now and if you don’t get them, you get gone.

This is what will continue to happen if Todd and Emil are allowed to make creative decisions, Todd lost his spark and Emil has always been a trashcan-Writer

It’s a dead game. Bethesda doesn’t have the awareness to understand where they went wrong with it, and that lack means they probably won’t be able to create any successful expansions for it. As such, further attempts to expand on it are probably also going to fail, and the franchise will probably die completely.

You could do about 2000 worlds or more without having to mathematicaly duplicate or replicate them,and make them totally unique in various ways, it involves mathematical copulations and scientific applications on a super computer with Ai with some guidance.

Paul tassi and forbes…ew

I am a big TES fan but will not preorder TES VI. No faith in BGS.

Oh my goodness it is crazy how much better no mans sky plays vs starfield. I played no mans sky for the first time 2 months prior to starfield (since I got an untrawide monitor and nms supported it). No mans sky made starfield unplayable for me. The first time I realized the ship was basically just a set of menus and fast travel connections, it was dissapointing considering how seamless this is for NMS.

I don’t know if I’d read too deep on absence of Starfield announcements from Bethesda. They are fairly well known for being secretive. That said, the game is fairly dead… so who knows!

I just recently got back into starfield. I downloaded several mods, and i’m having a blast. Sure, the game has a ton of flaws and the virtue signaling decisions by the devs, really takes you out of the experience. With all that being said, it’s still an amazing game.

The only Bethesda game i have played 3hrs, got to sleep and never felt to start again.
The start was… Stupid, the gameplay meh. It has been dead for long

It’s crazy to put so much time and money into a project and just dump it. Really was one of the games I thought had a promising future. Hopefully they sell it to a studio that can help it reach its full potential. It really just needs some fine tuning and tweaks.

Starfield could have been great. But the entire game is like that quote from Bilbo Baggins about feeling like butter spread over too much bread. Bethesda’s ambition was too big. They would have been better off having Starfield take place in maybe 1-3 solar systems with planets with no randomly generated landscape. Another downside was that Bethesda tried to make a game that couldn’t be considered offensive to anyone. No real foul language, no really dispicable characters, and definitely no discrimination of any kind. They made Starfield feel like some kind of idealistic future. Spacers/Bandits don’t suffer from drug addition. There are drugs, but you don’t really see drug addicts. Not a signle spacer/bandit has had the idea to enslave people for gathering resources. Instead, they just loot and plunder abandoned military outposts. Even the Crimson Fleet are portrayed as “Rebel Bad Boys” instead of ruthless killers. Every established religion today has been erased, so it’s as if they never existed. Just replaced by Spiritual, Atheist, or “The space snake will devour the non-believers.” Why wouldn’t they mention how thriving religions like Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism are doing a few hundred years after everyone left earth? Could it be because a lot of those religions have certain negative views on the more…progressive gender and sexuality views of the modern day?

My biggest letdown was realizing how empty and utterly pointless exploration is. Land on a planet and find one of those Dogstar places with the robots. It was really fun the first time. Then you find another and you realize it’s a carbon copy of the other one. You find crashed star ships and think “Hey, wouldn’t it be neat if there was someone there in need of rescue? Nope, just the exact same ship copied and pasted acrost the universe. Every Research Tower is a copy of the rest. Same layout with identifcal enemy and loot container placements. The only variation is what type of hostile spawns inside. Maybe it’s spacers? Maybe it’s Va’ruun?

Then the DLC came out and it started strong. But then you see the Va’ruun settlement and everyone is dressed in black and everyone basically looks the same. No character really stood out to me. All the dialog was bland, and you just wanted to skip everything.

The only thing I really enjoyed about Starfield was the ship building. I enjoyed building a Class-C Star Ship that was basically a giant RV with guns and turrets. I”m mad about the game because this game could have been great, if they dialed back the explorable universe and ditched the RND exploration.

I hated the skill style, found out the hard way it takes so long to level later you get soft locked out of large features if done wrong, like focusing on combat skills first, so getting ship or crafting skills take so long, you really never get them

Is anyone actually surprised? The doom of this game was clear since launch to anyone who’s not a fanboy wearing rose tinted glasses.

Look withe eyes of monetization:

Why does Fallout 76 has continued support? Constant revenue.
Why ESO has continued support? Constant revenue.

What both of those games have in common? They are developed by BGS alone and they have to put in effort to get revenue out of it since they are online only.

Now what if, they just had made a tool that allows the Modding Community to fix their game and also passive generating revenue for BGS without any effort? I wonder if they would do that… Surely they wouldn’t damage their reputation for money? right? Coff.. Coff.. Horse Armor…

I talk about Starfield so often with my friends and online video game community, it feels crazy that videos like this exist. I don’t play Cyberpunk or seek out Cyberpunk content, but I know it’s a game that is doing just fine.

And it was probably skipped because why would Xbox talk about launching on PlayStation during their showcase?

No, actually it was done at launch. All that praise of its success is a lie to make themselves look better.
Who are you bunch of morons that have been trying to play it up till now?

*If you think this game was not already a laughing stock, then you have been hallucinating.* It is

We really should know better by this point than to gove Bethesda anymore of our money.

After Fallout ’76 and Starfield, every time Todd Howard speaks I immediately turn off and walk away. Man’s anti-marketing, haven’t noticed if he’s spoken about Elder Scrolls 6 yet but I imagine he will do and he’ll say something stupid again and I won’t be buying that either regardless. I don’t trust Bethesda anymore, and likely never will given their current track record.

Anytime a game promotes “Players” instead of funds you can tell it won’t get much more fanfare.

Starfield was failed by executive decisions early on. In it’s design and story which was absurd. Fire the executives responsible.

are you really that surprised they forgot starfield? i mean, i sure did, many other people did. starfield is one of those games that’s one and done. i never even looked at the modding scene, there just wasn’t any desire to give it a second play. it was as empty and forgettable as the outer worlds. it went on my “meh” list. as in it wasn’t bad per se, it was just empty and forgettable. simply not worth the time and money. did you really need some random at forbes to tell you this?
