Ik to not have hope or any sort of word to use but I’d like to see Starfield strive and do BETTER

the cruise/fast travel aspect was never the biggest space travel concern for me but rather the limited speace encounter/wonder aspect. There’s so much cool stuff in space but while probably better for the existence of life, BGS’ dogged adherence to “the reality,” of local space means that except for a couple quest planets, there nothing to see. No nebulae to fly through or black hole accretion disks to cruise by. I would’ve liked far fewer planets/systems with more depth, and throw some silly TOS-era trek oddities in there.

Did they take some notes from Elite Dangerous?

Search in map, would have been good

We were promised bug fixes every 6 weeks or so, but this hasn’t been the case

06:46- “Biting off more than they could chew – good ideas but they didn’t have the tech to do it” – Star Citizen, hold my beer…

What they found is hopefully just a small segment of whats to come and that’s why Bethesda is being quiet. The game still has potential no matter how much the haters will tell you the game is done for. I think they’re cooking up a good DLC and added some major requested features. All I hope now is that it becomes an even better game and that all the haters get shut out, if you don’t want it at it’s “worst” then you don’t deserve it at it’s best.

LoadscreenField is only good for content making where it’s shat on profusely.

CAll me when I can fly my ship to the planets and land them in VR.

Starfield needs to take a note from Hello Games with No Man’s Sky.

Is it better than star citizen?

Looking forward for the next story expansion but we will see.

Everyone has already addressed the issue is reused assets until they fix the poi problem it’s just shining shit with shinola

All i need them to do is add alien races. Like humanoid aliens. Thats my biggest gripe with this game

Todd wanted to make his own Starflight. It’s funny that Starflight still beats out Starfield for actual fun. Half of the fun of a space game is the inter connectedness, and they could have easily don’t what that mod does, play a stupid interstellar video as hidden loading screen. Same with landing. Make a video of the fire from entering an atmosphere as a hidden loading screen. Not doing so in my opinion is almost laziness. Also the game would simply feel better if there was a cost to things. In Starflight, in the beginning, you can barely go to the next solar system on the fuel you have, so resource management is a thing. If you run out of fuel you need to have a rescue mission which will put you in debt, haha. Anyway nothing can save Starfield from its dead eyed cast of npcs and uninteresting world. Who does space with no aliens at all. Even one race of mysterious aliens changes the entire dynamic. Anyway I’m done take a sh!t, rant over

Great! Now, I can finally NOT play this game. Oh, wait! I can already do that.

So much uneeded hate for this game. I am having the life of my life! When I first played I got hit by the same feeling as when I played Oblivion and Skyrim for the first time ever! I love it so much, I hope they keep supporting it and giving it even more content and making it better!

Too little too late

Why do people think they will fix this game? Modders will… Thats their strategic with every game they make.

I love how Bethesda is slowly learning that nobody likes radiant quests.

A mod that replaces the load screen with another load screen.. yay? Star Citizen got it way better.. though it’ll never come out

I thought this guy hated starfield but now I realize he loves it and secretly plays it.

I will never understand the hate for Starfield. People who hate it sunk over 100 hours into it. Brother you coulda stopped 70 hours ago. We would have believed you hated the game after 30 hours. 🤦‍♂️

I just don’t understand Starfield. Like it doesn’t make since. Imagine Skyrim but you have a horse but you can only “fast travel” to towns. And that’s it, dungeons are “localized areas” to spawn at. That’s Starfield. Then there’s No Mans Sky….

Cruise is actually what Todd Howard is going to go on after he took everyone’s money and ran

Elite dangerous figure this out 10 years ago.

This is why the mod Astrogate was removed Bethesda must’ve paid the mod author to implement it as a feature and not a mod.

Luke is putting more effort into Starfield videos than BGS is into making Starfield.

Can’t wait for more Starfield content so I can make fun of BGS and Starfield again 🔥

Starfield is the best game ever. People are just haters 😂

I think BGS absolutley HAS to learn how to create Large cities for their games. CDproject red, Rockstar all figured it out and set the precedence for the industry. BGS has to find a way to get ahead.

Not gonna lie this is primarily one of the main thing I’ve wanted out of starfield 😢 so to just hear talks of it gives me hope 🙏🏾

For me, the pillar of a Bethesda game is FREEDOM. And not being able to fly your ship freely, entering planets manually, choosing a place to land, etc., for me, breaks this freedom that every Bethesda game has always had. I just can’t fly my ship! It’s a loading screen. I feel like my ship is useless. That’s horrible!

My biggest disappointment with Starfield is not being able to travel between planets without fast travel, not being able to enter planets without fast travel and manually land and take off with my ship.

It’s a good game, but this is still very disappointing for me!

I have over 320 logged and I’m back at it again. I love this game to death for some reason.

You are like a middle age woman that only complains all the time.

Somehow, starfield returned..

Plastic empty souless game, good lord. Those NPCs and quests… good fucking lord!

That will be a loading screen covered with animation, won’t it?

I can’t wait for Starfield to finally compete with Elite Dangerous and NMS!

I’m not so hopeful. I think this isn’t going to be as comprehensive as people think it is. This is probably a bandaid solution at best. Or a tacked on cruise line mechanic.

The best part about BGS games are the world building and the hand-crafted POIs. Anndd Starfield didn’t do either of those things well…at all.

I really dont know what you all expected from Starfield at this point. I actually think for what it is and how Bethesda makes games, Starfield is good. It’s never going to be a GOTY quality but if you ask yourself honestly, neither is any other Bethesda game that’s ever released. Yes, even Skyrim. Skyrim is not a great game. It’s just a really good game with some entertaining replay value. Bethesda has always had game system issues but have mostly gotten away with it because their games are limited in scope. Starfield is much bigger than anything theyve released so of course it’s gonna have those same issues.

Why even bother anymore to little to late id say

Well maybe cruise you can cruise between systems without fast travel that would mean a lot less loading screens.. Also heart rummors they wresseling travel on planets other then the rev 6. more vehicles.

3:43 you really don’t need to bring up a menu to do what he did here. Hit left bumper and all the plants within the area are there for you to select and travel to. All this mod does is the seamless transition covering up the black loading screen. 😂

Tell me you didn’t play Starfield without telling me you didn’t play Starfield.

Nah, BGS just saw how many people like random driving in Night City, so they had a CREATIVE idea to add “autopilot” which will transport you between point A and… A.

Starfield reddit sub is so cringe it’s full of console dads who just post pics of their characters staring at sunsets with artsy fartsy monologues and usually reject any discussion on improvements

Massive news for 45+ dad gamers.

I know this is a ymmv thing but the loading screens only really bug me in cities. You don’t have to sit through 6 loading screens going from planet to planet. Worst case is you haven’t been there and there are 2, arrival in orbit and then down to the surface. Thats way easier and less boring than manually flying down to the surface.

I still have ships diapering in space combat. Never had this until they went to fix bugs good game bsg 😅😅😅

I’m sure the half a dozen people still playing this shit are thrilled.

Starfield definitely bit off more than it could chew. I stand by the fact that they could have easily made it so each major faction only had 1-2 space systems. The game becomes more manageable and condensed. IE in the “maximum” systems in this case:

Give UC and Freestar 2 systems each. Crimson fleet only Needs 1 considering how they act. House Va’ruun with 2, and you’re looking at 7 systems right there. 2-3 systems as kind of “neutral” territory that people want to expand to (now you can have tensions between all the factions here wanting to get a foothold), now we’re at 10. do another 3-4 for the “Deep space” shit that’s unexplored, and it’s 14 at max.

I know this doesn’t fix the MAJOR issues with the game, but it makes it so much more manageable from both a player and developer viewpoint.

3:18 that isn’t astrogate I put a video on my YouTube channel. This is super deceptive bro.

By the way, actual ship to ship combat in space would essentially be BVR on steroids, where you would use advanced sensors to detect an enemy from thousands or even millions of kilometers away and then launch an attack from that distance. But, let’s be real, that would be incredibly boring… Probably.

You can’t even explore the rings of a planet. You could do that in a game like Elite Dangerous, for example.

Bethesda: “No one will be crazy enough to spend 7 hours flying to a planet, we can just be lazy and put a texture there on a 1 dimensional mesh…”

Starfailed players: “…”

Fast travel already works like this, just without the load screen cover up. You can already select your destination from cockpit mode and fast travel directly.

The loading screen cover is cery valuable, though.

@Luke In starfield you can, in the base game. Look at planets, select them and fast travel there and you get the cutscene that you said was a mod. Jump in the game and try it, uses the same button as scanning. Does nobody know or is Luke just wrong?

hey luke just came to say that there’s wayyyyy more to that astrogate mod. and i’m not sure if that’s the original astrogate mod. The original one allowed you to physically (no load screen) fly form galaxy to galaxy seamless at high speeds. you would have to watch your KMs to know when to slow your ship down and what ever galaxy you chose or planet you chose would load in as you approach it. then you go through the whole click teh planet and land on it sequence.

One day I will play starfield……..when it’s on PS5………….for $10…………….

5:55 we can already get up from the pilot’s chair and do other stuff while the ship is flying. That’s how Alana was able to have her character sleep to pass travel time.

That’s literally how it already works if you have a fast SSD

Being able to plot a destination then get up from the captain’s seat and roam your ship, talk to crew, craft, do whatever – it’s immersive, if nothing else.

I would hope they add random encounters in space. They already have them for being in orbit around a planet. And it’s not hard to procedurally generate a fish bubble of… empty space.
That would also allow them to procedurally generate derelict space stations. Which, leading into my next point –

Two of the biggest crimes in Starfield, that we can’t pilot D class ships (cruisers/flagships), and that we can’t create our own space station. (The ability to put together a fleet of ships would also be nice).

Its honestly criminal that none of this was in the game at launch. Here’s to hoping they add it though. I don’t care how long it takes, I just want them to salvage the IP instead of abandoning it.

Unless the game gets a ground up overhaul of everything bar ship creation, which it won’t and can’t in the creation engine, the games fucked. It’s a dead slop sterilised paste of a game that died a week after release and has never recovered, never will.

Also that one chatter, Pluto is a planet

I HOPE AND PRAY that bgs gets axed so some other studios can get their IPs and not have to basically be kept afloat by decades of fans still dumb enough to buy their games full priced while wearing their rose tinted glasses. Bethesda died a long time ago, we shouldn’t be getting hyped when their putrid rotting corpse releases a foul dogshit game that’s below even mediocre, at best.

Space traveling is not a problem story is its bit boring and universe is bit empty theyr decysion with no alien races was bad if they maded it more mass efect style of universe it would be far more intresting

The 5 people still playing are excited

They will probably just take the mod concept, remove all the grav drive UI junk/animation and give it a custom animation.

It’s a good idea and a very underwhelming idea, which is why i think it’ll be the standout feature of the update.

absolute dumpster fire, TES & fallout fans need to riot if this awful game gets any more support in lew of their respective titles

Of they made travel more seamless and interesting, and added more variety to locations I’d totally play it again and again. Loved the game world so much.

“No, we have Star Citizen at home” Star citizen at home:

They need to move on from this game, let it die. No matter how many updates and changes they do, it will always be a boring game to play.

BGS fanboys scraping everything just to make Todd’s fake game come true.

No Mans Sky already PERFECTED THIS! A LITERAL DECADE AGO!

Yeah, they modded out the load screens like 2 weeks after launch.

Cool? The story and characters are still trash, the game will never be good unless they completely rewrite everything.

Very cool video about this very old retro game 🙂

My face is tired hearing news about Starfield!

Bethesda has the tech, not the talent

Toooooooo late, the game is done and dusted for me.

i finished work on a Friday, so I bit the bullet and I paid the extra to play Starfield early, basically like many people i was ransomed to play Starfield for that weekend, so i owned the new DLC’s already and i never bothered logging in to check if it was even any good, in the same year i played Starfield I played Skyrim again, for much longer than i played Starfield in totality,
now i quite liked the gunplay in Starfield (quite liked, not super impressed) I appreciated how loot worked to a degree, but the bad UI and the loading screens were just too much, let alone doing nearly fifty of those anti gravity temples……
theres too few good things in the game, vastly outweighed by the negatives to be worth the bother saving, its the wrong engine

Even if they do release a cruise mode, it will be like every other feature in the game, a pale copy of what is done better elsewhere. They will never come close or do something of enough quality to be on par with Elite Dangerous’ seamless cruise system, best thing out there.
(Can’t speak of No Man’s Sky if it has one, as I haven’t played it)

Yeah, that’ll fix it

I really want to love Starfield. I keep jumping in and out of it, genuinely trying to enjoy it. Normally, I either like a game or I don’t but with Starfield, it’s different. It feels like a ‘good’ game that could be great. The concept is solid, but it’s missing key features that would elevate it.

The ‘masterpiece’ it was marketed as feels a bit out of reach, especially considering how much was seemingly cut from the original vision like flying seamlessly into planets, being able to freely fly around planetary surfaces, or landing anywhere we choose. Games like Elite Dangerous have done this, so it’s clearly not impossible. Maybe the Creation Engine is the limitation here, but if that’s the case, why not use a different one?

I’m still holding out hope for future updates or expansions, because I want this game to reach its full potential.

Todd really just watched the launch of No Man’s Sky and said “Amateurs, let me show you how a professional lies.”

Love me some Alanah… it was cool when she stayed up all night to test out that theory.

You can already point at a planet and fast travel there in the base game without opening any menu, all the mod does is replace the loading screen with a video.

I’m starting to feel like Luke plays starfield on the low and secretly thinks it’s a solid game and gets excited with updates. Cause man, he is on top of starfield updates.

Luke, it’s time to let go brother. You’re a good guy, don’t let this trash game take up any more of your time. You’re above this game’s target audience of brain dead players with low standards of fun.

You still can’t land through an atmosphere. Gtfoh Todd. You idiot 😂

“Proper spacetravel” – coming from Bethesda, that could mean we get new paintings to hang on the walls inside our spaceship.

Hello Games built it in a cave! With a box of scraps!

10:51 think that the talk of realism should have ended in 2018 when we saw the first FTL jump in Starfield.

3:39 – this reminds me a lot of how Eve Online does gate jumps.

Bro keeps complaining about starfield😂

The fun vs realism is what I genuinely don’t think people saying we should have petrol station sims inside GTA6 are people who don’t know what fun is.

Don’t buy into the cope guys, Bethesda doesn’t have the chops necessary to pull of actual planet-to-planet travel with their “good enough” mentality. At best we get “cruise control” where you can get up while the ship flies and then it maybe gravjumps to the target planet after it hits a distance marker or something. Bethesda is only going to ever do the bare minimum to build hype so they can sell you another $30 “expansion” that has 5 hours of quests in it and means nothing to the story. They said Shattered Space was Far Harbor quality, it was not. Never forget.

Anyone who cry’s about starfield is a spoiled bch. That game only needs the ship to not have a loading screen you should be able to walk straight out the ship and straight into it and that’s it tbh.

Cruise mode is just a mode that disables your weapons and make you go your max “boost” speed all the time. It’s a thing you can toggle on and off with a cooldown. It will change nothing.

I am playing Starfield right now and genuinely think that it is overhated. If you love Bethesda games, trust me, you will , at least, like Starfield. Don’t be like me and don’t base your motivation on Luke’s opinion of the game or his fan base, I haven’t tried this game for 2 years only because of the reviews like this. Try it yourself.

You could travel from the cockpit everywhere, instead of using the map, already when the game came out. Only thing this mod does is giving an animation instead of very short loading screen.

They deleted it because they don’t want people to get the wrong impression. Bethesda is hopeless so long as Emil is in charge of game design.

it would be nice if they improved the fun of being in space, traveling around but…they also need to improve the rest of the game too.

too little too late…doesnt change the repetitive generic quests or locations and the extremely underwhelming lore, world, factions, boring weapons and skills etc.

Honestly thought they turned the Starfield servers off already 🤷‍♂️

Thats not what astrogate looks like. That was seemless space travel. Astrogate is far better.

The way space travel works is only half the problem. They can fix the travel aspect but there will still be nowhere worth traveling to in the entire Starfield universe. Just a bunch of goofy Spore like planets and creatures. After all that the story, the abilities and overall plot are all below industry standard. Such a failure.

“Wait, did I just go inside Pluto?!”

So long as you didn’t go inside…can I saaaaaay it???…Uranus!!!

2:21 Use black font for your chat. I can’t read it.

4:50

People don’t get that the game runs great, it’s just a bad game from a narrative and roleplaying perspective. And the cut corners.

Is it fun to have to run over potholes?! Try Death Stranding!!! Unless you built a road, everything is a pothole 💯🤷‍♀️🤣

Starsector is the space game starfield and star citizen wish they we’re

She’s dead, Jim

“We want it to strike a balance between realism and fun!”
Proceeds to make a game that’s neither realistic, nor fun.

I will tell you what was wrong with Starfield, it wasn’t enough like Fallout!!! There needed to be better melee with finishers taking out enemy spacesuits!! More space horror and gore!! More open wasteland planets to explore like Fallout 3 🤷‍♀️💚💯

The no man sky typa fast travel amazing !!!

I thought this game was great😢

Starfield should have been just 5 – 10 fully rendered explorable planets instead of 1000+ planets which are mostly replicas of each other and very limited sand box explorable regions.

Cool.
However, I can’t talk to the NPCs anymore anyhow, without my brain start hurting from the most boring conversations ever in any game. And unfortunately, additional space cruise travel doesn’t fix that. Neither fixes the empty planets btw.

Quality of life improvements, they updated the uninstaller. lol

Wow that’s awesome, now the planets themselves will be super fun to explore?

It’s crazy how similar this situation is to No Man’s Sky, at least with NMS, we had about a decade of patches and support. Starfield though… I don’t see that hapening as I just see Bethesda just moving on to their next project.

Oh so they’ve made it easier to travel to another planet! ……for what? To see the same stupid dungeons?😂

I go back and look up twitter accounts of some BGS fans I became aware of during the early Fallout 76 days (like SleepisforT, etc.) and even followed for a time, and the amount some people defend people defend BGS is staggering. I swear, if I didn’t know any better, I would think they were burner accounts for Todd and Emil.

I’ve seen people defend Starfield as a masterpiece and say that it “just didn’t go over well for some”. Sure, it has some rough spots, but if you go exploring planets and get bored, that’s on you. I’ve seen people only give praise to paid mods and not acknowledge the problems. I’ve seen people say Shattered Space was fantastic and that it was a tremendous experience. That there are just some people who didn’t care all that much for the game, but in the next breath say that all that hate from everywhere is unwarranted. I’ve seen people defend Emil and tell him not to get discouraged by all the negative feedback, that they’re just internet trolls causing problems, and that he’s doing a great job.

If you like Starfield/Shattered Space or even think to yourself that it’s the best BGS game ever in your personal opinion, you’ve got a right to it, as outside the general consensus it is. However, there are a decent chunk of BGS fans that legitimately think they are doing better than ever and do not want to entertain any negativity towards BGS. As long as these people keep feeding Bethesda this tripe and don’t want to see things as they are, hope should be abandoned that BGS will ever improve to a level that’s even considered competitive in the industry anymore.

On top of all technical limitations, the game was also stripped of all edge, fun, and character in an effort to not offend anyone.

They wanted us to find the code so there would be buzz

If Starfield had 0 loading screens and no bugs it still would have sucked.

If there still isn’t anything to do on 99% of planets, I’ll pass

The technical things are one side of the story.
The biggest issue is the composition of the elements.
Its done in the worst possible way.
Any cheap AI could put it randomly better

What annoys me the most is, you can’t fly the surface, you ship is just a NFT, yeah you can float around in front of a planet but that’s it, flying anywhere should take literally real time hours

It is not a space game, it’s a game in soace

I can’t believe that Cyberpunk 2077 got FSR4 before Starfield did

Cardboard Todd Howard is watching you

I really don’t understand why we need a cut scene for landing and liftoff

Love the disconnect between Luke and his audience in this case. These people are closer to feminists and karens in Twitter than reasonable people you can have a discussion with. They don’t want Starfield to be good, they don’t even care that it was bad, they just want an excuse to hate and spit out their vitriol.

There is a melee sprint power attack animation bug for the 1st person camera view, they haven’t solved a bug for such a basic gameplay feature… amazing.

This makes the game no better to me. You can’t have copy paste outpost and the same looking gear in every planet. Dang Howard xjow can you be something off with what games like?
I want to love starfield. I want fun games to play. Starfield has a fun level of 0, actually – 2 when you add a load screen for ever action you do.

It’s sad when your dream game is the definition of mid.

They need to concentrate on Fallout 4. The little game engine that could’nt. They’re slimy!!!!!

So slow travel to nowhere to do nothing?

Starfailed still starfailed.

Lol.
Maybe have cool armor not every space suit looks similar. I stopped playing within a hour because it was so dull. I have never seen 1 screenshot of a cool piece of armor. Skyrim you find shit immediately you want to put on. Why take that away? Everything I loved about Skyrim is removed in starfield. They went down a check list of things I loved about BGS games and took them all out.

Starfield is a very good game to be honest. Please make a difference between roughly two groups of gamers. The one who plays the games, and the ones who lived the game. The second group almost saw everything multiple times, and it’s very VERY hard to make them surprised. The first group, where I belong probably is less demanding. For example, I played games for entire life, about 30 years as I am 35, and Starfield is my first Bethesda game ever, as I heard for the first time the very name of the company when I bought the game. So…..

I could look past many of the flaws of starfield if the writing wasn’t so piss poor.

It sucks because I want to like the game, but man is it garbage

Big whoop. Wake me when they add actual main characters back into their games. Starborn might as well be a mute mannequin wearing eyes and wigs.

Could of been a failed attempt to implement cruise control and they decided to leave it out.

Never played it. Looked uninspired. And i love space games. If space travel gets improved and more immersive, i could see picking it up for 20$ or less sometime.

There’s a better mod that doesn’t just hide the loading screen and allows you to go super fast like no mans sky

The sad thing is the game was designed around more robust space travel, notably fuel consumption, but Todd had the devs rip it out. He no doubt considers things like that a distraction. I think he’s out of touch with what RPG fans want.

I think Todd gotta go. If Bethesda Game Sudio has any hope of making games beyond Elder Scrolls 6, then Todd Howard gotta go.

To be fair Michaeldoeslife did this first with flying into the planet

I always found weird how much effort they put into updating Fallout 76 and not Starfield, considering 76 flopped way harder

This is a cool feature…that should have been present on day one. Also, since giant mecha are a thing in Starfield, at least having power armor or at least powered exoskeletons (admittedly giant mecha are a bit overpowered for a player character to control) should have been a thing, especially since both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 mastered the implementation of powered suits already.

No mans sky clears unfortunately

The mod you showed isn’t astrogate… Astrogate is in fact way better and complex than this. you can cruise to planets or use autopilot features to have an experience pretty close to other space exploration game.

I dont spend my time obsessing over every little update about games I dont like. theres sooooo much to do that has nothing to do with the main quest line. Most of the side quests are lengthy and fun. Once you go past the low level planets and moons, there are much more fun planets and moons. Its so fun taking out 4 enemy ships then disabling the 5th enemy ship, boarding that ship, and killing the whole crew, then dip out with their ship. and go sell it or keep it. Setting up automatic mining facilities and manufacturing facilities to do space trucking. A bunch more things. these are just a couple examples. Yeah the flying isnt seamless. Its still cool how much you can modify your ships. I completely agree, the main storyline sucks. but I feel like it was only put there to have a reason to give you special powers, so you could use the special powers during all the other quest lines lol.

Luke Starfield Stephens

unironically tho, if the space travel was a separated menu within the ship that you look at in 3d space, I don’t think the loading screens would have been as annoying. What was annoying (for me at least) was having to open up the same everything menu, clicking on maps, then navigating that cuz it was also just immersion breaking.

A cause mode thar would let me get up and walk around my ship whilst traveling would be absolutely goated, imo. The purpose? Roleplay!

All I wanna say is that while NMS might have some good ideas and features, it’s absolutely boring af. A generic procedural snoozefest. Starfield could be a lot better, but the constant “NMS did this” is tiring, because NMS is a very very boring game that most people get turned off by. Lord knows I’ve tried to get into NMS, but honestly, I would rather play starfield by A LOT…

Now I can have a more immersive load screen between my empty planets. Yaaay 😂

Fixing the game, one loading screen at a time…

Adding a pinch of spice to flying in space…. just to land on the boring ass planets. LOL

It never ceases to amaze me the pass Bethesda gets for coming out with a half baked game…. talking about limitations of the engine to implement simple features…. and then a modder, working for free, says “But, yeah… you can. See?”. And then Bethesda coming out with an update like they worked hard to create the feature. How many mods were made by one guy and a computer that brought something to a Beth game that should have been in it to begin with? I have zero faith in TESVI, and that makes me so sad…. it’s not even a game I’m anxiously waiting for. But they can remaster Morrowind like they did Oblivion and I’d buy that in a heartbeat.

I don’t even know why I watch these videos. No offence to you, this game really sucks and has no chance of being good in the future lol

If BGS had suported Starfield in the way that No Man’s Sky was, then we would have such a cool space game to play. Unfortunately, BGS has no interest in fixing their game.

Hype, i want starfield to be better

There’s an amazing looking Star Wars RPG being made as a conversion mod for Starfield, definitely worth checking out

Paid Mods can suck it!

My guess is the cell that is space will just have more things and use all that empty space to “cruise mode” between space poi and space poi.

Cruse past Starfield.

Its pissing in the ocean at this point.

Starfield has awesome potential. Could easily be a No Man’s Sky redemption. They do need to update their writers as the 1990’s style storyline has to go. They need to be moving towards Cyberpunk style writing but not in that genre. They need it for Nasa style, Space Odessey 2001, The Martian and maybe some Aliens mix. They have the potential, and it can be easily added too. With Hollywood trying to use AI instead of writers I suggest hiring writers maybe one from the Expanse or other types of science fiction space high fi versus dystopian. This would really help them in general as a company.

As for No Man’s Sky I have moved to Starfield. But I supported No Man’s Sky seeing the potential. I think Starfield has more potential than No Man’s Sky long term.

none of these comes close to addressing any of the reasons nobody plays starfield anymore

Maybe they’re just adding Tom Cruise to the game.

Tech aside it has no believable lore. To make it “replayable” we are to believe benevolent beings created artifacts and temples so those that first touch an artifact are compelled to find the rest in one universe, then go to another and so on, constantly engaged in life ending battles and murdering innocent beings. That sounds more like a Satanic god rather a benevolent one.

F this game f bethesda. Not getting next ES after they made me eat this turd and not even tried to fix it.

All this will do is prove that loading times, and ship travel never was the problem with Star Field, and they were just easy things for people to point out and hate on.
If there was zero loading times in the game, it would still be bad, and boring. they can’t “find the fun”.

There are a few popular mods that do this (effectively hide the loading screen). It really helps with the immersion a ton. Kind of makes you wonder why bethesda didn’t do something like this.

this is bgs. Its absolutely not going to be something game changing. Its going to be like an auto pilot feature so you can do “other things” on the ship while it’s still moving towards your location. Its neat but a little underwhelming.

04:53 The planet ORBITS THE PLAYER, search about it, its so sad lol

Waste of time and resources, Sure travelling between planets would be cool for the novelty factor, until players get bored, find it takes to long and then fast travel anyway.
I can think of better things Bethesda could put these resources into.

If they can add a bunch more unique POI’s and clean up the menu fatigue that would go a LONG way to making it more fun. Also like the idea of replacing loading screens with just the warp animation for 10-15 seconds.

The writing is mid, which is hard to fix. And your decisions don’t have a felt impact, which is hard to fix.

So they could make some solid improvements with the 2nd expansion& update (which I hope they do) and then send it off on a high note before diving into ES6.

Its really hard to have faith in Bethesda these days. Covering the load screen with some bs is the least I expect to be implemented.

Starfield isn’t a real game. Its a fake game – Guardian HQ

Cannot believe people enjoy playing this uckin garbage

Anyone hoping they make an update for crew members?

You know how nice it would be if npc’s could actually wander around your ship or outposts correctly rather than getting stuck in a corner and repeat the same animations and dialogue until the heat death of the universe?

How about proper schedules so they can be assigned their own quarters, use mess halls or lounges in their spare time, visit cities and ships/spacestations when landed or docked, take over poi’s after they have been cleared out and produce resources, and of course job assignments, like getting a pilot to pilot your ship, or have a doctor heal you and your crew, or a gunner controlling your ship’s turrets, etc.

How about shock troops that are able to assist you by coming out of the landing bay after calling your pilot over?

Would be cool to have something that loads the next tile when you reach the border of the current one.

Like you arrive at the border, black screen, loading, and you spawn at the border of the next tile and your ship is somewhere in front of you. Like it hopped to get closer to you. Would make the foot exploration feel better

I just want a good single player space game that lets me do whatever.

let me be space emperor that the it that the story.

Yeah the writing is mostly very mid – but to be honest unless some faction questlines or deadra quests the writing was never top tier.
What would help with the repeating environments is to create them modular, that for example every environment is split in 3 parts and than they create 5 option for every part and also very important variable insides, meaning were NPCs are placed, key cards, maybe even loot container like saves. This would help a lot. Another problem are the crimson fleet, as long as you are part of them they don’t attack you and get mad if you attack them, what make it even more boring if they are in control of a facility – and because of the looter shooter grind BS mechanic – if you don’t fight them they don’t drop loot so less chances to find usable gear.

I still think the foundation for a good game is given, but I also think it would take a lot of afford to make Starfield a good game – cause it needs to readjust a lot of stuff and add more to find so that exploring makes more fun, with more events that could happen in between and much more little sidequests that are not generic.
And of course the option to learn gear perks and upgrade gear tier (bound to the Skill you can unlock) and after the first union, so you became one of the Starborn, a Skilltree for the abilities reaching from base ones like more energy, better energy generation, more reach, more duration, more damage to some that changing how abilities work like invisibility can toggeled on and off and if on and you sneak it will automatically been used and consumes energy per distance and speed or precognition will be automatically used in conversations or life detection works also on mechanical NPCs and it claims a part of your energy instead of having a duration.
A bigger quick menu is also needed there are so many weapons, throwables, consumables and abilities – it is just way to small, you need to open the normal inventory to often. A keyboard have enough keys and on controller they can change it that every of the 4 D-Pad directions open if hold a radiant menu with at least 8 slots you can mark one of the slot as the quick slot, means if you just tip the D-Pad direction you use the item on this slot. This will double the possible quick slots.

So I think if they really want they still could make it a successful game, but as I said, it will take time and afford and I don’t know if they are willing to invest it.

There are mods that increase ship speed by thousands, and you can actually fly from planet to planet. The whole planetary system does exist in Starfield as it is. The problem is that you can’t fly fast enough without a mod that adjust ship speed and random space encounters as they stand only happen with loading into an area. So, while the mods are kind of cool, there’s no point when all that “space” is empty, and no encounters are going to spawn. So, my assumption is they are just adding that functionality. Not really a big change IMHO since modders already did this minus the encounter spawn change. Another problem is that planets and moons, etc. have no collision, so that will need to be fixed I assume as well. So, wrong mod to choose as the comparison.

This is almost exactly how No Man’s Sky works….However, in NMS, you can cancel out of any interplanetary jump because there is actual space between planets. However, at the interstellar scale, you cannot. It’s a full cut scene of wormhole like travel. Starfield’s fish bowls are about the size of a small town. NMS fish bowls are the size of a solar system.

Tom Cruise follower confirmed

*seamless space travel
*seamless planetary landing
*seamless planet cell change
*manual docking as an option

I actually been playing this shit recently. Love it.

There’s a cruise mode in Astrogate. It basically just lets you go really fast in between planets, since the models all inhabit the same space. It uses the grav drive as a toggle.

The issue is that BGS has sat on their laurels for so long. They know, since skyrim, that we’re shit eaters and we’ll eat the shit they hand us. Now that Microsoft is involved, not only do they think they can just peddle shit to us and then not put any effort into it. But now Microsoft gives them validation to push shit out towards us because of new deadlines. BGS is a corpse of their former self and we all need to come to terms with that.

But why tho????

It’s so funny lol

I constantly want up point out how old Elite Dangerous and No Man’s Sky are.

Hours I’ve played starfield this year:0
Hours ive watched videos on starfield: 15

Could those function calls also be abandoned features that BGS gave up on, and we’ll never see in game? Either way, pathetic…

I wonder if Todd will swing for the fence & add alien races with the DLC too. 👀

Even if they are weird lovecraftian entities, instead of humanoid. Apparently Starfield was heavily inspired by the tabletop RPG ‘Traveller’ & in that RPG there are alien races – so maybe the plan was to introduce them later into the IP. 🤷‍♂️

I would love a no man’s sky type space travel

I would love seamless space travel! Really hope we can fly out of orbit between the stars! 🪐 (with new space POI’s, like black holes, twisting wormholes we can manually fly through, space horrors, ‘space walking’, giant asteroids we can land on, hidden new factions, etc).

It would be great if space goes fully black when we leave orbit too. I get the blueish colour is a stylistic choice but deep space would be more creepy when it’s fully black so having interplanetary travel is a good opportunity to add that between the stars.

Luke, wink twice if Todd has you locked up and is forcing you to make Starfield videos

I wish they would do something like they do in Elite Dangerous. That method is awesome. Fighting against getting pulled out of cruise is awesome.

You’ve never had to go into the menu to travel somewhere, as long as it is marked or in the same system.
The same for landing on a planet, unless the location you are trying to land at has multiple spawn locations, and so you have to choose in which spawn in that location in the menu.

Damn this game looks so bad lmao

In Morrowind when your characters runs, he does get tired. That is represented by the fatigue bar draining.
Thats why Morrowind is better than Starfield and Fallouts and every other Bethesda and Microsoft “Bethesda” game.

Luke out here spending more time on Starfield than Besthesda.

If this is true they’re going to have to add way more random space events to make this worth using otherwise it’s just making the game even more boring than it already is. There needs to be faction conflicts and all the star systems need to be marked UC/FC/Varuun/Spacer/Pirate/Unowned and have it so you can find more encounters with those factions in their owned systems. But that can’t work with the way the story is where the UC and FC have a lame truce. The setting itself kneecaps any opportunities for excitement. UC and FC are at peace, Va’Ruun disappeared to the DLC, joining the pirates doesn’t turn you into an outlaw to anyone other than the UC Navy.

This won’t just change Starfield— it’ll revolutionize the genre. It won’t just work— it’ll twerk

Sixteen times the hidden loading screens!

The rumoured feature is something similar to the Astrogate mod. I couldn’t get the mod to work correctly, but it’s a cool concept that honestly should’ve been there in the first place. You should be able to fast travel to other planets if you don’t want to use it. Mods also have shown that the grav drive transition could’ve been smoother and helps the illusion. The big problem I have is landing on a planet and travelling to other grids. I haven’t heard of any modder being able to pull this off, and it looks like the game engine isn’t able to handle it. I still can’t get into NMS, but I still jump into that game and fly my starter ship around the planet every now and then.

I honestly hope they make the 2nd dlc have an official ending option, for us who enjoyed starfield and would love to send it off one last time in a good fashion that felt earned . An ending that cancels out the unity somehow . One and done .

Loved starfield, but I’m not blind to the fact they appear to be pulling away slowly

5:10 You are wrong. Its of course not a picture, its the actual planet. And the Engine IS able to handle it. Astrogate wouldnt work otherwise. You CLEARLY have no clue what you are talking about! 😀

And? The game is dead.

you’re showing only one of the mods btw, early in starfields release.
someone made a mod that actually travels to said target, not just some loading screen.

it’ll just be another loading screen

They’re gonna have Tom Cruise in the game😂

The only thing i even remember about that game is how horrible romance was like that old lady that keeps nagging you over every little thing like shes your mom and your a naughty boy, then at some point she just randomly starts confessing her love for you and stuff it was soooooooooo weird, like wtf where they thinking its like the whole game was made by aliens that dont even understand human experience

Bro give it up the game is and always has been crap. 😂

Dead trash game, who cares…

Todd Howard is secretly holding Luke and Mr Matty hostage to force them to talk about his absolute failure of a game.
Brother just give up the game is dead and dead until time itself doesn’t exist.

Gamescon will be their last chance from me.

space travel improvements nice. now i wonder about content improvements

BGS is just shoveling more money into that black hole, are they?

They can update QoL as much as they want, it doesn’t matter if the story and characters are still as shallow as a kiddie pool.

4:29 Alana(i i wrote GOD OF WAR) Piers hahaha

Next to fix is the writing

Love Luke’s passion for his favorite video game

Todd give it up big dawg….the game was a dud..move on to the next project bro

It’s for making your own Space station so you can walk around inside

As someone who games a lot, but only on a PS5, I think Starfield will have to be at least 35% off for me to buy it.

Luke’s videos on Starfield are more relevant than the actual game itself 😂😂😂

3:30 there’s already a better mod called Astrogate

A new system for space travel won’t fix the underlying problems with starfield.

It’s worlds are still empty and lifeless. Loading screens will still break what little immersion there is. Quest design is point A to point B back to point A again. Every map is just procedural generated except for the points of interest. There’s nothing to explore outside of those points of interest because all they did was take a proc gen map and “hand craft” a city in the smack dab middle of it.

Making fancy loading screens isn’t going to fix anything

I’d be more likely to bet that it’s old code. That they started flirting with the idea of a cruise mode years and just left the code in.

I sure hope they save this game.
I want to play the bleep out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thousands of lines of code? Try tens of not hundreds of thousands.

Slightly improved space travel won’t fix the boring story, gameplay and on world exploration. This game needs 5 more years of solid development to be somewhat “fixed”.

So BGS needed a modder to show them how loading screens could be hidden and space travel could be implemented in their space exploration game nearly 2 years after the game came out?

This should have been included in the game from the very start.

Which one was Starfield again?

The game is dead

Luke is keeping Starfield alive singlehandedly.

Wow, bots got here before me.

Holy bots in the comments LMFAO….I wanted to make a Starfield comment but the bots distracted me

Ah, Matty did mention this possible interplanetary thing.

Damn bots

Once again I arrive with the bots
