I got the $1 gamepass trial to play this. Bored me to tears and cancelled membership in 3 days
I like the game and am still enjoying it. Going back and forth between Starfield and No Man’s Sky right now. Both games complement each other well as each one does things differently.
No mods, enough said, fire the ‘it just works’ idiot
I bought an xbox for this game.
I finished it but only because game pass.
I loved story around leeches and guant spider things but aside from that rest was pretty poor.
Needed Freelancer style space combat & trading.
Colony building that actually does something.
Weapon balancing sucked
Shell of a game
I was grinder for a ship class C then found out I need a perk to access it, that killed my immersion.
Stinky turdfield goty for the most boring game of the century
I like Starfield, but it needs joystick support to enable the space combat which is clearly a main feature, in the starship you designed and built, also a main feature. Starfield also needs aliens to interact with even if they remain remote and external to the main story world. Just have them there for the players who wish their Starfield Sandbox experience to feature alien interactions. Those are two game/story expanding things that would be obvious to any science fiction author/gamer. That would add the missing depth that many mention here.
I tried Starfield. Then I bought No Man’s’ Sky.
🤣🤣🤣
I did have fun with Starfield, but you start to notice a pattern in the stories and missions, they just CONSTANTLY fall flat. Like the planet that has all the mech ruins. The game tells you that mechs are basically outlawed, but then you find this old mech factory with a “pest problem” and in my head im like Hell yeah, im about to help these guys build an illegal mech to save their lives!! Nope… just go shoot the Terrormorphs (or whatever they are) and yay, mission done. Just SO many missed opportunities. You find your first temple and you’re like WOAH! Then it poops you out and you’re like….oh….that was it i guess? And then you learn ALL the temples are the same. Ugh. This game could have been amazing. 🙁
go wokefield, go brokefield
I really enjoyed it on the first pkaythrough .
No different than star citizen
-No man’s sky at home
-No man’s sky from TEMU
They claim it isn’t a DEI game, yet how do they wish to explain the companion Barrett forcing his way on you if you play a male character? i mean even if you don’t even try to romance him he still comes after your rear end. This while any female character is pretty much barred from even being an option and only really getting the option for Sarah Morgan, who is pretty much a possessive cringefest on her own not knowing whether she wants to play your mommy, your lover or a psycho.
On top of that you see hardly any white male NPC’s and when you do they are either into men very clearly or they are enemies or very old. Yet oddly enough you find a lot of latino and black male NPC’s who are made into mary sue’s or perfectly good characters. And also if it comes to women, you will find also a lot more black and latino for some reason adding another nail in their claims that it’s not a DEI game.
I lost all interest in this game for the reasons of DEI crap, loads of bugs, empty worlds, constantly the repeated copy/paste buildings, etc etc.
I love Starfield and despise Shattered Space. Biggest problem with game is “empty space” but that will be solved over time. I just picked up two different faction quests in the Creation Store which added plenty of new locations and opponents.
Players: “This game sucks!”
Bethesda: “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Legacy doesn’t even play video games anymore (just look at the last 10-10 videos of his, all hw does is whine) so this video is pretty funny
after watching this video i thought, you know let me download the free dlc “creations” they’ve produced and give them a try. the most substantial one i played is basically a small dungeon with a different color pallete, a bunch of doom references, and some insanely bullet spongy enemies. i finished it in under 1 hour and felt basically no enjoyment from the gameplay. if this is all they have to show after 2 years, they’ve proven they’ve learned nothing at all
I’ve always maintained that I think starfield should have been the project they focused on after Skyrim instead of fallout 4 and 4 should have been released in the time frame of 76
The nightclub scene alone makes me hate this stupid fucking game
No Man’s Guy?
I remember when this game was being teased and ppl were so excited about it and the graphics
best thing bethesda can do is fire all the top brass and lead designers and start again from scratch, employ talented designers not bank clarks.
Except for the pirate faction missions, this was extremely repetitive and boring. Shattered Space was sooooo bland.
We wait for Elder Scrolls while we get this, lol
I suspect that most of the 2000+ current players on Steam are actually playing the Star Wars Genesis mod collection and not Starfield. ^^
And at the same time, it lives rent free in your head.
I wish I hadn’t bought this game when it came out…..such a waste of money.
Bethesda hasn’t made a truly great game since Oblivion. Skyrim is good with mods but Vanilla Skyrim is beyond boring and has had writing and same with Fallout 4. Now Far Harbor was a great DLC but that’s about it
That’s because they are long past their prime 21:46
Todd’s a very good salesman. Too bad he lies a lot. You know, allegedly.
Bethesda writing will NOT improve until Emil is fired. and until Emil is gone I am NOT buying another product
It was a joke on launch , now it’s a dirty joke
I just replayed Starfield and it is a pretty good game just not quite as good as Ive come to expect from Bethesda. I give it a 7/10 or an 8/10 with the right mods. That being said, I feel that the lengthy development time would make a sequel unwise. I’d prefer to get Fallout 5 over Starfield 2 if I have to wait 4+ years per game.
It is a beautiful game, but that’s about it.
I played it on Gamepass. Outside of a a couple of faction quests there’s nothing memorable. Nothing exciting like intelligent alien life. Most characters are boring at best, unlikable at worst. The NG+ aspect was the last straw for me. I spent a lot of hours making an awesome, personalized ship. I have no desire to lose that, lose homes, outposts, etc, just to start over and repeat the same boring content.
whats more a joke is you farming this topic for views
Wtf is Starfield?
Fallout 4 was when I realised Bethesda make low effort, reptitive, slop. FO4 had mostly forgetable characters, a lot of copy/paste questing, terrible (and buggy) performance and the story somehow made the disappointing and none impactful civil war plot in Skyrim look like God of War 2018 levels of cinematic and engaging storytelling!
What, Congoloids in space didn’t sell? Much surprise
I didn’t love it but it kept me interested for awhile. Until I had a space fight or something with my ship. I kept getting owned and I couldn’t figure out the ship building aspect nor the combat. The game never really set it up. It left me dead in my tracks. I was like what do I do? Surely, the game would help. Everything else was a sinch, but they forgot to teach you how to do that shit.
It’s generally not a genre most players want but comparing it to other titles is unfair
Channel not doing well needed some click bait. I’m pretty sure there is more than 1 percent playing the game. Here’s a novel idea. Try playing the game you actually discuss
I beat the game and the whole time i could not tell you what the point was
I bought this game when it came out and thought it was Ok, at first and then I realized there was nothing to do and the story was stupid and it wanted you to do the story over and over again with minor differences.
It was a joke the day it came out
I bought XBox X for Trashfield and man how it was such a disappointment, now my XBox just collect dust in the corner. Even when COE33 and WuChang comes out on day one pass, I just bought them on PS5 just because Im too lazy to turn my XBox on.
I remember Az’s pronoun rant more than I remember what’s in the game
Tried Starfield on Gamepass. It sucked so bad. I, personally, think No Mans Sky is wayyyy better
Stared it on the 6th after the latest update and I’m absolutely loving it. The world is absolutely enormous (has that Daggerfall immensity feel, although no game…ever…could compete with the sheer scale of that game) and the procedural generation isn’t bad at all. I genuinely enjoy going to POI’s, surveying, looting and doing the plethora of side quests. The ship building, battles, upgrades etc are all fantastic. Love that you can board/steal ships and then customise them. I don’t see why this game gets so much hate. It’s essentially Fallout in space. Yes there’s procedural generation and gameplay loops but ALL Bethesda games have had that historically.
it’s not a real game…. It’s a fake game.
I was just hoping for Skyrim with Fallout 4 combat. I know Bethesda writing is ass nowadays, but they did super well with gameplay and game feel … Until starfield.
LegacyKillaHD, can you make a positive video this year
Paying for mods and what amounts to cheat codes. GF’d.
Remember the days where Bethesda’s orbiting “notice me sempai” fans said this was the best game ever, that would be played for years to come as it was just that good? I just checked steam charts and only 1.118% of the initial player base remains. This is not a good look for a “Triple-A” game studio.
AAA studios are comfortable releasing early access games as a “complete” game now I guess.
Also how big of an asshole do you have to be to constantly refuse to give your fans what they want.
Literally couldn’t play it. Not that I struggled it was just so boring. It could have been so good but it wasn’t.
Anyone still looking forward to elder scrolls 6 is delusional.
ambitious but rubbish
i actually would have given starfield a chance if it didnt play like complete poop. my computer is old as hell, but it still runs most games on medium settings 1440p. i have a 2080ti but starfield just runs terribly. especially on world surface maps even though they’re usually bare. i had to quit getting 20fps. such terrible optimization for a game that doesnt even look that good.
I just started playing and yes it’s boring. I’m trying to give Bethesda the benefit of the doubt. But I don’t understand. Fallout and Skyrim were wonderful. Starfield is lackluster and slow. I’m gonna give it a couple more hours I guess. And why did you make him ( Starborn) wtf lazy. We did this before
The only reason why Starfield is device according to the ratings is because Xbots are ratings the game 10/10 😂. But in reality it’s hot garbage.
Even fallout 4 was nothing “.ground breaking “. They need to bring something new and amazing with ES6 ! Not just a beautiful open sandbox world with clunky combat/ character animations again
I dont get how they could make a scifi rpg thats more boring than the original mass effect like why play this
Bethetic is still going to update it they say
If Todd Howard had final say, Todd Howard has final blame
Where’s the people defending this garbage? I know they’re out there.
Starfield is not a failure. It lives rent free in your idiots heads
Fetch quests, parts puck up, and grocery runs does not an adventure make.
Got to the first planet and just couldn’t continue lol the game is terrible, with blocky movement same old design and boring quests 😂😂
It almost feels like Bethesda were lazy in their development of Starfield
Talentless that’s all you can say not just BETHESDA , it’s UBISOFT BIOWARE more concerned about pronouns and weird woke shit than making a good game 🖕
they need to shelve this crap and give us the games we want just move the fuck on
I played this game when it first came out. Got almost to the end and quit never to return. It wasn’t even worth finishing. Shame on Bethesda. This game was hyped so big and it was a giant letdown. After what Bethesda has been putting out lately with games like Redfall and Starfield I am worried for Elder Scrolls VI. Bethesda hired monetization experts from EA and F76 just feels like a giant money grab now. I think it might be time for Todd Howard to take a bow and let someone else run things.
Starfield is a boring game. But it’s a good-looking game with a ton of content. Really, it’s a ‘head canon’ game – a make-your-own-fun game. A vast, sprawling sandbox. Mods help this immensely. But it’s no mega blockbuster. It’s a game that will find its fans.
I have never fallen asleep on a game as much as I did Starfield. That’s when I knew it was time to uninstall.
Yea i moved on to no mans sky…its so good now
Remember this is a game that Todd Howard wanted to make for many years, his so-called “magnum opus.”
Unless Todd and Emil step down, I highly suggest abandoning Bethesda and TES6.
NO. It is the gamers who are wrong. -Bethesda, 2023
The only reason to buy this game is for that watch
Starfield was interesting for one playthrough but had no replay-ability. The multiple load screens to do anything mechanic really hurt the game too.
Probably an unpopular opinion, i actually really enjoyed the game. The story wasn’t that bad from memory. It’s far from perfect sure but im also only talking about main game.
This game was/is so disappointing
Skyrim 12,000 players. This number doesn’t include all the copies launched with SKSE.
It was a joke from the start
That vehicle to get around is a terrible idea. Why not make a jetpack that you could use to fly around the planet without having to pound the crap out of your controller to stay air borne. That lame jetpack was almost as annoying as just walking around.
Love this game. Got a couple thousand into it. Really sick of all the clickbait whiners.
I’m happy that i bought Bg3 instead this souless game.
If The Elder Scrolls 6 didn’t learn from Starfield’s mistake , we’re doomed
The game needed actual Alien factions that we could have fought. But maybe Bethesda didn’t want to insult the Aliens that have been visiting Earth in real life.
In space it would have been nice if we could have had missions flying through and destroying enemy structures, like a Dyson Spere. Or cataloging giant black holes. Get caught in its gravitational pull, and use your pilot skill to escape.
Such a small ish side issue I had with the game that always frustrated me is the fact i spent HOURS in ship creator every time I leveled up my pilot class and or racked up enough money to make big changes because of how much I loved the idea and ability to make my own ships.
However the fact you cannot manually dictate the layout of your ship’s interior or at least review it without leaving ship builder in the base game absolutely frustrates the hell out of me.
I had to download a mod that allows me to manually place doors where I want them and where I don’t there won’t be a door. Why? Because I think ladders in a MASSIVE C-class ship makes absolutely no fuckn sense, on top of that the layout seems to be randomised and its never logical, if you make a square ship with hab paths going around the entire outside well those habs will only be 90% connected so you’ll have to run along one side then back to navigate the ship. If the ship is small and only 3 levels max, ladders make sense to save space and keep the ship small. But when you have a MUCH larger ship with tonnes of habs having a ladder slapped right in front of the bridge entrance pisses me off beyond reason, especially given there are massive ships all over the game many you can even enter and theres no ladders in em, stairs and lifts abound. So I also downloaded a mod that gives me elevators and staircases. Unfortunately they are unreliable af resulting in manually placed doors to not load in, sad times. Ive only managed to create one large ship where the interior is how I want it. But another issue is, is that those manually placed doors all count as a single building unit halving your potential building size which also sucks.
The game just was not fleshed out enough, many really great ideas were not given enough attention and detail and the ship builder is one of them.
Also. How tf does weapon leveling work? How can i pick up an Eon at level 20, grind to max its attachments and dmg only to find a cruddy eon on a random desk at level 30 that does 50+ more dmg and doesn’t have any attachments? So i could make it hit even harder.
I heard at one point that the guns have leveling or rarity stats but how tf do you guage that in game because when i first played i grabbed the LEGENDARY mantis suit pretty early only to continously find suits with better stats afterwards, tf.
Not even the modders can save that one
Bethesda lost its touch. They definitely ain’t the same as they were and after 76 and starfield I highly doubt they have the capability to deliver projects like they use to from fallout 4 and before. It’s take them forever to do the bare minimum and even the bare minimum is still ass. Honestly. I’d put them in the same boat as Ubisoft. A once great developer with one helluva fall off
To think that The Elder Scrolls 6 was delayed so this could be made 😢
Waste of time and resources
I’m done with Bethesda!
Will never play a game of them again! Next games will be a cash trap
I am so disappointed with this game, I had such high hopes and get massively let down.
Starfield is like the OG no mans sky
Truth is, it was a joke from the start. 👩🚀🔫🧑🚀
Honestly my only issue with Starfield is the writing. Game mechanics aren’t bad overall and I could forgive the limitations if they had actually given us good narration. But I feel like the writing gets worse with each new game they release. Starfield being the worst, even the lore is fairly barebones and all the cool stuff that is there isn’t reflected in the game, like the Free Star’s mechs. Also the fact that Earth’s atmosphere got stripped by early grav drives somehow leveled the planet’s surface to dust outside of a handful of landmarks? Where are all the ruins? This doesn’t even get into the main story which I have other issues with and even the companions are fairly interesting at the start but fall off a cliff after hanging out with them for an hour. The only quest lines that really grabbed my attention were the small side quests out in the unknown like the clone historical figures or the generational ship that appears at a mega-resort colony. But there are just too few of them…
I would gladly play OneMansLie because they actually turned it into a great game. Starfield will never make the same comeback story.
Short on content i see
shitfield is so dumb
Everybody does open world RPG better than Bethesda! What do you got for us now Todd? Oh that’s right more Dragonborn shouts in space content, gee thanks Todd. Oh what’s that Todd? You say your hungry? Go get your own damm crackers kid Im not your dad.
They have a completely new and interesting setting, but there is no more world building than in their established series.
No in-game encyclopedia, no flavor texts, even quests and questions just barely give you surface level information
Nevermind having magic powers as the main quest, in a grounded low tech space setting. It’s like elder scrolls six making you build a car and collect guns.
99% of people already forgot this game ever existed 😂
One thing BGS had going for them is the modding scene. But then they got greedy and tried to monetize it. Releasing new updates almost monthly which breaks the mods off Nexus. Then they try to make you pay for the mods on Creations with the promise of Achievements being enabled. Now even the hardcore modders have ditched the game. Evrything that could have gone wrong went wrong. If they don’t get their shit together then ES6 is going to be another disaster.
I keep trying to watch videos about Starfield. I’ve yet to finish them… I just can’t force myself to care.
I played this game for two hours only, for free on gamepass, and I still feel ripped off! I could’ve spent those two hours on an actual FUN RPG…..You give me those two hours back TODD!
Women destroy everything.
Edit: *Liberal Women destroy everything.
Starfield was a sad slop already when it came out. Uninspired, boring, bland nothing.
i can’t wait to pay them more money for game mechanics that should’ve been in the game in the first place
Thanks for reminding me of the 87 hours I wasted to reach an ending even less fulfilling than the ending of a Souls game….
im starting the wave to make Starfield the new GTA RP thru mods
I think they forgot to ask (is this any fun?)
Starfield has ALWAYS been a joke, not just in 2025. I cannot believe I ever defended this game!
Starfield was a joke on release day. It’s just even more of a joke now. Not even mods can save it.
I was truly excited to play this game, than played it and retired from gaming for a week
The only joke is the people with this dogshit take. Game is awesome. Don’t like it don’t play it.
Look…..i was enjoying the game…..but 10 hours in it decided to delete my recent save and send me 4 hours back. I cant take that risk again. So i moved on
Nice vid, though I would argue Bethesda’s downfall started long before Starfield. Their achievement as a video game company was mastering the open-world RPG before anyone else, then they really never produced anything consequential, and in hindsight their most popular releases such as Skyrim are incredibly subpar even compared to much older titles.
Without any new spark of genius they were doomed to fall, everyone does open-world RPGs now, and many studios do it far better than betheslop
I bought this game because of a star wars modpack lol (It’s called Star Wars Genesis)
It’s just so…..bad.
The game is 2 years old move on. LegacyKIlla the only legacy your killing is your own talking about situations this old.
Starfield is doomed because it’s main quest, the foundation of the entire game, is a hollow fetch-quest game plot on a loop. You can’t build off of that, there is no substance. Any one of the side quests could be expanded to be a better main story.
And this was supposed to show off how creative and innovative Bethesda could be at developing a new game.
Just get this game for the Genesis overhaul, makes it actually tolerable.
Just give us ES6 and FO5 bro
Everything about this game was lazy and made absolutely no sense given the supposed technologies involved. The fact that I couldn’t scan a planetary environment from space like in Star Trek or Mass Effect 2 is just stupid.
The environmental suits not being able to withstand solar radiation was stupid, we have had the Tech since the 60’s.
Anyway this list could go on for miles.
This had a lot of potential but it turned out to be all propaganda just like Fallout 76 was blown out of proportion before it’s release. Seems to e Bethesda’s market strategy now days.
Oh and when will they finally get better character models, these NPC look like cartoons.
Did anyone else just want to shoot Sarah in the face every time she opened her mouth with that smug condescending tone?
The cowboy in space thing was boring and stupid, Texas Rangers in space? really sick of the lack of creative thought behind games.
Common sense stuff like if I can fly to another planet maybe I should be able to fly in the atmosphere of another planet as well, Armored vehicles to drive around in.
Boring worlds full of boring stuff with encounters in the same dungeons over and over again that make no sense for being there.
🤢🤮 = the Starfield experience.
This is 100% a demo at best. Bethesda calling this a game is false advertisement
How many hours playing the game is your critique based on?
Starfield is what happens when a game company decides to make a boring game at all costs.
The single only good thing bethesda still does is allow better projects like “Beyond Skyrim” and “Skyblivion” to exist. All bethesda proper have done for years is:
Fallout 76 (live service slop)
Ruin Skyrim and add buggy paid mods to it
Ruin Fallout 4 and add buggy paid mods to it
Starfield (and then try to shove a bunch of buggy paid mods down people’s throats)
And for all this what has been the price to pay? Every time Bethesda decides they want to ruin a legacy game a little more the entire modding community has to scramble to fix the mess. May I remind you they singlehandedly delayed Fallout: London, and for what? New bugs and paid mods.
Bethesda may be relatively harmless for now and far from being as evil as Nintendo or others, but they have become an awful company.
Oh yes, the game that has “No DEI stuff on it” that spit me DEI stuff on me the moment i put a feet on Mars to get into that bar at the beggining of the game.
I dont think ES6 is going to be much better than this
Every game Betehsda makes just gets worse than the last
One of the biggest regrets of gaming purchase was this. Bethesda is a joke.
Game was fatally boring.
Returned the game the next day. Thankfully it’s a Bethesda game so it didn’t take long to find a game bug to pin as an excuse.
Anyone who thought Bethesda would make a good game is a bot. They haven’t made a good game. They make mid games at best.
I remember the day this came out, I overheard someone say they were going home to play Starfield and I felt a bit jealous as I don’t own any of the new Xboxes and my PC is old. Fast forward a few months and I got Xbox Live Ultimate or whatever it’s called for about £1 and played it via their cloud service on my PC, and I quickly went from feeling a little jealous to pitying the guy who bought it a few months ago.
What an awful game and I say that as someone who loves space games, movies and TV shows. Also Microsoft’s cloud service was equally bad, if that’s the future of gaming then I’m out.
Most critiques I’ve heard about Starfield apply equally well or better to Skyrim. It’s just kids eventually learning about the enshtification of Bethesada, as their first exposure to such a thing. (It’s actually just arcadification)
I can’t believe I bought into the hype & purchased it, absolutely piss boring game
Im playing this every day, it the most enjoyable game this gen for me. I put starfield on the same level as skyrim.
The fact that the most popular mods for this game is literally turning it into a Star Wars sim shows that the lore for starfield is bland and uninspired.
I had fun with the game right up until i noticed all the cut n paste, thats the point it all turned into a cash grab fuelled by lies.
and even today the cut n paste is till there.
fallout 76 and now this ?, bethesda is done unless they rethink lies over reality.
ES6 ? no way hose.
and i have many thousands of hours on skyrim and fallouts.
fun fact, don’t believe everything Todd Howard says,…..
I don’t see a monumental comeback like Cyberpunk with this. Cyberpunk had so much substance behind all the bugs at launch with great gameplay and immersive storytelling. Starfield is bland in gameplay and narrative, which pretty much makes it a complete failure. I don’t have high hopes for Elder Scrolls 6.
I bet they try a “No Man’s Sky” turnaround.
I think what starfield showed us was that modern Bethesda isn’t a creative company held back by the limitations of pre-existing IP’s, but a creatively bankrupted company kept afloat by the standards expected from those pre-existing IP’s. When given the freedom to create their own lore they flubbed it in all aspects 🤷
I literally got this game for free as a download when I purchased a new AMD graphics card and still never even bothered to try it out. That’s how boring and just an uninteresting its always looked
Pfft! Weaksauce attempt at getting clicks and ad revenue from a channel feeling the crunch of the current adpocalypse. 😂
I looked forward to this game for over a year and played it for less than an hour…
Yeah ES6 has zero percent chance of being good at this point. Bethesda should honestly just cancel it and instead make another massive expansion for Skyrim that’ll continue the story line of the Dragonborn. I think that would be the better choice.
Its like they looked at Elite Dangerous and said “Take all the emersion out and make it even more boring with less to do.” GREAT WORK Berthesda
But but but Act Ma’am told me it’s a fantastic game!! Lol
How did they think the way you get space powers from temples in that game is ok, thats the most egregious thing about it to me. Its literally the same thing every time, makes getting shouts in skyrim seem like a 10/10 experience by comparison. How did anyone look at their temple grind to get and upgrade those powers before release and think it was passable.
I couldn’t play this game until a couple of months ago. I heard the reviews and stuff, but I still wanted to try it.
Dropped it in about 4 hours. Every dull and bad thing the game does aside, the amount of loading screens is insane. Open world games from the ps2 era weren’t this bad with that.
biggest strength of skyrim and fallout 4: unique exploration
biggest weakness of starfield: unique exploration
one big map with unique stuff was always the biggest strength of bethesda.
I had fun the first 60 hours of the game. I know not a popular take on this game.
Starfield is to games what AI slop is to art. I’m extremely concerned about the quality of TES 6 now.
I only play it because it’s the only game I can get firefly vibes. I could really use some recommendations.
I spent hours setting up starwars Genesis for starfield got on for 10 mins and realized it’s still starfield and intensely boring and hollow game with nothing to do and nowhere to go with nothing to see or experience
Sharted space didn’t turn me against this game, the awful boring game turned me against this game.
Starfield isn’t going to get the No Mans Sky treatment sadly. It had potential but it’s obvious when they developed the game they didn’t know what kind of a game they wanted to build so they made a space game that was ashamed it was a space game. Starfield would have been better if they built it as a space survival game. They could have easily explained how sparsely populated the game was by explaining that the Earth disaster wiped out most of the human population and that only a small number of colonists where able to escape.
I had fun, I enjoyed the story too. But that’s me coming from playing Nintendo switch for nearly a decade exclusively. I wonder how many frills you guys need to have fun to call this boring
Even no man’s sky on initial release was better then Starfield is now.
Had it downloaded from game pass. Sat on my machine for months and I just could never work up the enthusiasm to even boot it once. I’ve since uninstalled.
I was really excited for it but was hugely disappointed when I finally got to play. I wanted Skyrim meets no man’s sky and instead we got a boring, space game with no actual space flight wrapped up in a glorified fast travel and inventory management simulator. I could have overlooked a lot of the issues, if they just had actual space exploration like elite or no man’s sky.
Clearly, they just need to make it Starfield 76, line it up with mtx and Battle Pass….. 😂😅
Only played this game to build a ship everything else was trash and boring
This is the pretty much normal for single player games outside of Bethesda studios games people play single player games beat them then never touch them again starfield will pick back up just like bgs games as the dlc and modding continues
Seems like really low effort. Didn’t play this but have played Fallout76 and it was surprising just how half assed everything was. They did just enough to have a game for their Atom shop and season pass
Bethesda Gameplay loop is boring and outdated. Go here talk to this guy and now go back and talk to that guy…. Walking/Talking simulator.
I think Starfield was Bethesda’s beta test for their updated engine. They didn’t really have a game, but they wanted to get everything settled and figured out before they tackled the next fallout or elder scroll.. but also see if they can make some money from it
I’ve been playing with mods and honestly am having a great time. But mainly because of MODS. Watchtower is a free mod that completely changes the game and make it actually fun to play. Massive ship battles, having the ability to have all your ships in a fleet fighting by your side, calling in air strikes from your ships… I couldn’t recommend it more.
Starfailed
I was so excited for this. Took a day off to play…. Played 2 hours and turned it off. Uninstalled. Never tried it again.
I wish they would stop pumping money into a dead horse. I’ll never play starfield at this point. It’s always looked so damned boring.
I milked this game to its core since I was one of the fools who paid to much for it. The game probably couldve been great, if they gutted 90 percent of it and started over. Bethesda wanted modders to basically make the game work for them while making a really poor base game. Im never buying another Bethesda game again because of Starfield. Fallout 76 also started bad and that’s where my faith got shaken but now starfield really put the nail in the coffin. Even if elder scrolls 6 somehow hits it out of the park I’m not giving them another penny
I’m surprised people aren’t talking about the fact there’s no Aliens in it. I’m playing it now and I’m like level 12 and all I have seen is humans😂.They shoulda looked at Mass Affect maybe
I never figured out how to keep my mining operations working. Very disappointing.
What is baffling to me that this description fits No Man’s Sky perfectly as well, yet NMS, despite having much worse graphics and overall production values, for some reason commands much higher respect among gamers. I sunk many hours into NMS for the sole reason that I wanted to like this game, but it just sucks.
I loved Starfield, had a lot of fun, and think it’s a good game.
However, even though I thoroughly enjoyed it, I just did not feel the desire for replay ability that I did for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. From Daggerfall all the way to Fallout 4, I can play those over and over again.
But Starfield was a one time deal for me, even though I love the game and had a lot of fun with it.
Elder scrolls 6 will be Starfield with swords
Bethesda charging for Shatter Space (as well as charging for mods) was what finally drove me away from not only Starfield but Bethesda as well. I’m also tired of Bethesda’s never ending lies.
i wanted to love this game but just the fact that i couldn’t take off or land by myself and even travel in space without a loading screen made me hate it
Wait. Did you say there is lore in Elder Scrolls and Fallout series? Thats news to me. Bethesda is a fraud and their fans are idiots.
Todds vanity project was a mistake, and worst of all it delayed more Fallout and Elder Scrolls
The only way Bethesda could turn Starfield around now is to do what Hello Games did with No Man’s Sky and offer free DLCs, but Bethesda has already shown they are unwilling to do that by charging a price with the release of their first DLC. On top of that they have shown how greedy they are by charging for mods.
To this day Hello Games has released all of their DLCs as ‘Major Updates’ for No Man’s Sky making all of them free and instantly available when you install the game. That is ~27 Major Updates (DLCs) over the past 10 years. Bethesda can shove it.
OUTER WORLDS.
This game is the biggest grift ever brought to fruition
I own the dlc got to the initial ship and just couldn’t be assed.
I finally started playing fallout 76 for the first time after play testing it and hating it. There is so much now, the side quests and main story finally made me feel like it was a fallout game. The updates actually make a difference. If you can look past the subscription and the ridiculous prices for the atomic shop, its worth giving it a shot, especially now that the best version of the game is on sale.
Play star citizen instead of starfield.
TES6 is doomed
Starfield would have been better if it was limited to a single solar system and had playable alien species. They should have basically done Elder Scrolls in space.
It was a joke 2024 too
Starfailed. I kid, I kid. I still hope it gets a glow up but given a realm is rarely reborn seems unlikely.
As soon as I arrived on the hub world I dropped it Ngl. The bleached white and washed out colours was too much and I just decided it wasn’t worth it.
I enjoy fallout series and 4 more as it’s more visually interesting than starfield (and it did start my love of leather trench coats and gas masks) this game while I love space didn’t feel wonderous or interesting, just sanitary.
Just let the game die, already…my god, Bethesda is such a failure.
This is why TES6 is doomed, man.
It’s trash.
Joke is – they rely on modders, but they don’t understand WHY people mod.
There are two leading reasons players pick up development tools. One is “Wow, this game is FANTASTIC, but this one aspect is not, and it’s pi$$ing me the heck off, so lets fix it!”. The other is “Wow, this game is FANTASTIC, I don’t wish to leave this world ever! Lets find more reasons not to!”.
In both cases – you need your game to already be fantastic. It MAY be flawed, yes, in fact it is better for the game to be a little bit janked for players to create memes about floating mammoths and giants launching them into stratosphere. But there must be reasons for them to want to stay.
It’s kinda like running a cafe – if your coffee is amazing, your customers will be willing to overlook some jank, like cheap chairs or some crumbs left on the table because your staff was slammed during rush hour. But if your coffee is burned crap – why would anyone be willing to be there, let alone overlooking your jank?
Who cares what devs feel about theirshit? What matters is players feelings becasue we pay for it.
I have always hoped starfield was going to be like minecraft in terms of development. Continuous updates that add more and more procedurally generate content. With the increase in huge crafting and automation games such as satisfactory starfield could have been the ultimate crafting experience.
I have friends that play this game and they are all over hyping this game it is insane. I played it for free and it is soooo boring. I still play the Fallout games and the TES games.
Emil’s writing sucks.
My problem with it was that the story sucked ass. Needs aliens. Less grind. More substance. Better characters.
I abandoned it 10h in.. thank GOD for game-pass
It was the same thing with Fallout76 oh it is the players expectation that is wrong not the game/ The nyears later when the ystarted to get it playable they wanted bonus points for getting to the stage it should have been at launch. That makes 2 games in a row. No i don’t count remasters those are already made and good.
Wonder how many botfarms Microsoft bought to boost this game.
Maybe it’s time for Todd Howard and Emile Pagliarulo to retire
Bethesda learning from the modding community? Don’t you mean stealing?
Todd has got to own Zenimax because how is the guy who openly says he doesn’t believe he remakes/remasters able to say we should port Skyrim to the “insert here” and people still approve it.
Didn’t like the game at release. Dig it now. I know, not a popular opinion in this thread.
Way too many Loading screens
They’ve probably been working on the PS5 port. The best thing they can do to save this as a franchise is to inject a new life blood into it with major QOL & player feedback patch as well as a new pool of players on PlayStation.
Sadly, however, Bugthesda is literally the laziest major studio in all of gaming in terms of fixing their games. Fuck if, that’s what modders are for…
Ngl I forgot this game existed.
Starfield had so much potential. 12-15 good solid planets with the ability to actually travel between them, vast cities in multiple areas on the planet and more. 100-150 dungeons (procedural generation with good randomization logic that ensures you don’t see the same asset combination for a while). And lastly, a story that isn’t Skyrim regurgitated would have saved the game. Loading screens or not.
They even could have added planets with paid DLC and still monetized. Make us happy and we will give you money gladly. Idk why game companies keep thinking we will pay without quality.
Starfield was not what Bethesda promised us and told us it was going to be. It was a huge let down. I quit i after a couple of weeks. And I have never looked back. I wont preorder anything from Bethesda anymore. I will wait till a game drops and then give it a couple of months for the true reviews.
Starfield has always been a joke. This channel seems to be on its way there too
This game was the biggest waste of my time….. extremely frustrating, boring and broken.
I was around when Arena came out. Neved cared much for any Beth title. I played Arena for an hour or two and went back to Ultima VII
it was always a joke, why should it have changed ?
Yeah starfield was probably the biggest let down ever. Could of been so great too
Did everyone remember how that infamous journalist got roasted by everyone for giving a 7/10 to starfield at the release ??
Look where we are now.
Starfield is actually the single greatest game of all time! 😂
My thought is that this game was made by the same types who made vileguard. From the ground up with disgusting political ideologies in mind at the very forefront. With this a good game could not be made as the people making it aren’t gamers. They’re propagandist. The game is at its foundation bad because of this. The only way to turn the game into something good would be to scrap everything that is there and start over. Modders could theoretically do this, but it would take years of unpaid work. No one has the time to turn this trash into something, and bethesda are locked in both in that they have already released the “game” and that they can’t act counter to microsofts evil “values” even if they wanted to. So they both will not, cannot.
damn were still hating on starfield?? HELL YEA
Bethesda fans wanted this to be No Man’s Sky so bad and it failed even that
It’s crazy when you stop to think that Starfield is actually supposed to be a game in ‘active development’, like… how? where? If you told me they’ve officially announced they stopped developing it I would believe that more easily than I would believe it is still being worked on.
No please we don’t want it here for ps5! We good…..
i started playing and i’m thinking of scanning every planet and moon just out of pure boredom before doing the story and first loop.
I tried very recently with a new modlist by checker90, and even a little one of my own. New mods, etc. I really really tried to forget my prior attempts at a playthrough (and I did go through a few NG, so I know the grind). I gave up. I give up. I have no reason to ever return.
Companions are utterly boring. Planets don’t actually look that good. Tried Shattered Space, and it was obviously built for people like a hundred enemies all in a small enclosed space. House V was BORING. Super secret society is just a bunch of whiners. Like me on Starfield. lol
“even if you get Starfield for free, get a refund” brutal
you want a space game, play rogue trader even if it’s not that of a space game but you feel like the freakin empror of the universe.
So Bugthesda is once again going to steal modders’ ideas, and implement them in their game (which they always do badly, since they don’t want to risk using the modders code as is, so they make their own much worse code). How does this help anyone? This game is a joke. It’s literally being given away and no one wants it!
how the mighty has fallen. from fallout and elder scrolls to koala shit.
Original I thought the same thing, still kinda do actually but I do have a thought
Starfield may not be like Skyrim in space that was marketed, but maybe Starfield plays more like elder scrolls arena… in space
Idk that was the thought that popped into my brain while watching this vid 🤔
The game looks good, but the substance is dry and vapid. The pooch was not screwed, it was fcked.
They made a game not even modders can save
No man’s sky much better
Is there people actually waiting around hoping starfield gets a dlc or update that miraculously makes it a good game? This game doesnt deserve your time and bethesda doesn’t deserve another dime from you for this absolute dumpster fire of a game.
Always has been . . .
The redditors defending this pile of shit
Wasnt it always a joke
yep i played for like four hours then redownloaded elite dangerous
the fact that kinggath made another overhaul like mod, it’s as everyone said, this was to be a new platform to monetize mods and whatever they could, plus having a prompt engineer as Emil on the story part ain’t too smart tbh
Ps5 compatible
Y or n
Watching another one of these bloated essay videos is like coming across a POI in the game. It’s the same copied and pasted slop that is painfully predictable and unorginal. Congrats on mirroring the exact thing you hate. Better slop next time 😂
2025? Starfield was a failed concept from the beginning. I’m convinced it was a (bad) tech demo of extending their aging game engine that got blown up by their C-Suite.
I played starfield on gamepass when it released; i still felt ripped off.
Actually, as an older console player, I really enjoy it. My question is, why bother with this video? The more you cut down the industry in general, the less work they will put into games. This affects the entire industry in general. I don’t like minecraft, but that’s my opinion. Why would I cut down the company in an attempt to embarrass them. You use data that does not include the largest user base… Gave you the like, but no Sub. At 62 yo , and an original C64 Elite Pilot, my advice? Praise what you like, ignore what you don’t.
Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda was the worst possible thing. Starfield was made “good enough” to go into the all you can eat buffet of Gamepass, but it’s nothing you’d actually pay for on its own.
Still making videos complaining/whining about the same thing over and over is a joke.
I bought everspace 2 like a month ago. I’m absolutely addicted to it. And that’s after playing destiny and no mans sky for a long time. I’d recommend playing no mans sky or ever space 2 before starfield. Starfield is ass.
Mass Effect got criticized to no end because it was a good franchise with solid gameplay that had an unsatisfying ending. With Starfield, I don’t think many people care about the game to begin with, so noone cares about the ending.
I know my view is unpopular, but I am one of the people who enjoys Starfield, though I must add that I haven’t played or bought Shattered Space.
Whilst the main quest line is problematic the UC, Crimson Fleet and Ryujin quest lines are actually decent, and even the Freestar Rangers shows promise. All need fleshing out more but for a new franchise they were solid imho.
Gameplay wise my biggest enjoyment comes from base building and starship building, 2 things starfield did fairly well, though I do wish a more colonisation method was applied to outposts.
Combat wise there’s not really much improvement necessary, though making drops level consistent rather than an inflated pool would be a huge improvement.
It’s not perfect, but I’m still finding environmental storytelling after over a year of gameplay. I welcome improvement but as a game I genuinely find enjoyment
Main problems with saarfield for me was the condescending black&brown characters straight out of HR, giving 90% of the quests, + the fact that you can tell it was made by bitter women & Indians. People scapegoating Emil & Todd but look at the rest of the dev team and credits lol.
Peak Bethesda was probably Morrowind…
The last of their good run was probably Skyrim with Fallout 4 putting in a decent rear guard action.
Like with Veilguard and ac shadows i kinda wish you could find all those people gaslighting everyone else just after release and make them acknowledge the game wasnt as good as advertised
I agree with most of the criticisms but I think people are disingenuous when they don’t acknowledge there is SOMETHING there. I still love hopping in my ship and visiting a new planet. What disappoints me is how easily they could build off what good stuff there is to make the game -not great- but so much more.
Trashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I think it’d be hilarious if Bethesda was just another studio that Microsoft casually shut down…
Never try to please the woke crowd that probably never buys your gam.
Bethesda and zenimax decided to be a parasite corporation instead of a proper developer. They destroyed a vibrant mod community out of pure greed and will only do worse from here.
the second there was even a debate about pronouns, you knew this game was gonna be the most poorly created, story lacking, dei slop fest…. the most untalented people on planet earth made this game, of course it’s gonna be shit
One more problem with Starfield is that it requires a fucking quantum computer to run properly while also looking like L4D2 with a HD mod slapped on top in some places. Most of the people playing Skyrim and Fallout 4 still play those games because they can still mod them to look modern while running on their old 1080s and 2070s. Starfield made it clear to everyone that they do not give any more craps about optimization and will sacrifice several generations of hardware that came out even AS the game was being developed just to have 4K texture rocks and pebbles that nobody will ever notice.
At least i enjoy Starfield more than No Man’s Sky.
Finally happy to be part of the 1%. Love this game.
Game studios are too much like political campaigns , a lot of promises to get your money and that’s about all.
I wish i could throw this much money into the pale
bethesda? more like bethetic
Starfield is only Fallout 4 in space with some new features and improvements. I played 1000 hours at Fallout and after about 15 hours at Starfield… I thought it’s enough and I forgot this game.
If yiu have any faith in bethesda youre on drugs. Theyre trash at this point. And their lead writers are mentally and creatively bankrupt
Played it once and then uninstalled…
After having played Starfield for around 100hours when it came out i can say the following:
The game is bland, there is nothing for you. The story has potential, but it is fumbled again and again. There is some Background to the factions that made me interested in the World but there is nothing. The quests are a practical joke, the base building is even more glitchy then Fallout 4 and i havent played shattered Space and i dont intend to. If you havent bought the game, dont. I am officialy done with this company and i dont hold my breath for TES6.
Skyrim released in 2011 and has almost 3x the players, that’s insane
The only thing this game did is it signaled the end of BGS
I pushed myself to 100 hours, I stopped having fun in any measurable way around hour 30 then spent the next 70 trying to convince myself I didn’t just functionally 100% a Bethesda game on accident (see all AI generated errend “quest” mission types, visit every biome, do every side quest that was writen by a human) with NG+s and different characters.
Which is how I found out Starfield wouldn’t actually be allowed on Nexus mods because as a female character you can literally turn an explicitly gay man straight with the “romance” system.
I wanted Stanfield to be amazing , disappointed it failed
wannabe Star Citizen
The worst “AAA” game I have played. BAR-NONE.
Starfield is what made me delete my whole wishlist. The hype train crashed the station, I’m not getting back on
like all other legacy studios, I dont think the people who made Skyrim are the same people making games at bethesda now. I have basically no hope for ES6
Starfield is depressing because it could have so easily been amazing… they obviously didn’t care. Its obviously a half-assed game from a has-been studio.
Can’t believe there’s people out there who genuinely like or even love this game.
I honestly forgot that game existed.
“Optimization? Just buy a new PC!”
-Todd the 16x guy
The main reason why Starfield isnt working for me is due to the fact they took out the exploration of the game (ironically its supposed to be exploratory) tgat Elder Scrolls and Fallout had and went cheap with the game creating fields of nothing and like 4-6 of tge same thing. Like i literally found a cave meant for a lush workd due to roots on our moon.
The engine has great potential and you could do a lot with it. The story is very bad and soulless even though the idea of going into a new universe could be good with a good lore and more effects when going through that portal. In my mind it was a good idea, but a very bad excecution. Also the industrial stuff and the mining should have more effects on the “normal” gameplay and yet it was so buggy, that you could not connect planets correctly. Then either skip some functionallity and work harder on the lore.
We should demand more games use the ‘early access’ subtitle if they are going to take 10 years to finish a game that was already released.
Playing it for the first time ever these last few months and I’m really enjoying it. Some of the criticism is valid (I would like No Man’s Sky-like space travel and landing, survival mode and less menu management, etc), but a lot isn’t tbh 🤷♂
I own shattered space and I still haven’t touched it
I’m convinced that 70% of people that hate on this game have never actually played it.
It’s really got a lot going for it
It launched poorly aged.
it released poorly…
expecting anything to change is insane…
I had fun playing it in the begining, but it gets too monotonous after awhile. It’s not really a universe you can just live in.
Genuinely curious, when was the last time a developer with over 100 employees put out anything worthwhile? These bloated corporations need to be dismantled to allow for creative freedom again. Stop designing games around monetization strategies.
Star citizen better
Fallout 4 started it and Starfield sealed it for me. I couldn’t finish fallout 4 and could only get a couple hours into Starfield. I no longer have any hope for Elder Sctolls 6. It is a definite wait to see, downgraded from a wait to buy and miles from preorder. Just like BioWare, Bethesda will have to prove themselves all over again in order for me to even consider engaging in their future products. They no longer get any good faith from me.
Sadly your thumbnail is clearly false, I saw 6k players on steam, thats 3 times the players than normal. I was quite surprised when I saw this tbh. But you are just gaslighting everyone at this point. Maybe let’s see you finally give Rockstar some actual criticism, because they actually need it. Bethesda has already been beaten to death already.
Your channel is a joke. 90k views and only 5k likes. Yikes…
Even the style they went for “Nasa Punk” was an excuse the be lazy and nonsensical. Besides that barely being an established aesthetic tradition, there is absolutely nothing “punk” about the game.
But their terrible world building started with Fallout 4, and many gave them a pass for it. But, I’m sorry, Skeletons still being in buildings that people live in 200 years after the bombs dropped is corny.
Starfield has always been a joke. The only thing that’s changed is the source of the latest short-term hyperbole. Bethesda is working hard behind the scenes, to increase profits. They obviously don’t care about anything else.
I don’t even care about TES6 anymore. I’m confident it will also be a joke, if it ever reaches release.
I enjoyed ship building more than the game. Haven’t played in almost 2 years
See i was one of the people complaining i would rather have es 6 than a new ip. But i honestly thought but lets be real skyrim in space should be dope af. Well its wasnt dope af
your channel is a joke🤣
I downloaded it once through gamepass didn’t have time to wait for it to get good. Deleted based on its size as I only have an S on Xbox side. When it’s release’s on PS5 we’ll have the full gold version. Not the beta.
Mods won’t save it, and future official updates just progressively keep pushing modders from wanting to continue support as every update breaks any mods that rely on scripts which is most mods…
Game had so much potential. They have these cool factions Crimson Fleet (Space Pirate)
Tracker Alliance (Space Bounty Hunter)
Freestar Ranger (Space Cop) and they all just leave way to much to be desired, all of them could’ve been fun
It’s crazy that kingdom come 2 is more fun to me than starfield. A medieval realistic game has more content than a sci-fi space exploration game. In fact I’m having more fun than I ever did with skyrim
If they could add actual space travel somehow I believe this game could perform better in terms of sales and win back some of Bethesda’s good reputation.
The buggy gets you everywhere faster. You save at least 3% travel time. That is more than 5 seconds at least.
After a few hours of gameplay, you will have saved at least 4.5 minutes of travel time. Which means you have more time to wipe your behind.
So, I liked the concepts they were playing with. As well as the art direction. But they just couldn’t turn these things into a functional reality that satisfied.
Take the Londinian mission. This could’ve been one of the most action packed, tense, and thrilling missions. They had soo much they could’ve done. But the mission was a shadow of the experience it should’ve been. IMO
if they ever insert elite dangerous style space travel, that would get me to buy it.
F*ck this game man, F*ck this game. It was a failure, stop the coping, no amount of updates are going to make it good.
It’s been a joke since launch, and I did give it a genuine try, I wanted it to be amazing. I went through a complete playthrough doing any quest I could find on the first day.
After the first day most of that was groaning at loading screens and hate playing it to at least get through the main quest.
The only part I actually enjoyed was the ship building, the problem is that there is almost no reason to bother with it since there’s no real space exploration, just more loading screens.
Needless to say I was extremely disappointed and after I did finish the playthrough it was more a “Are you kidding me!? THAT is how they think they’ll get people to replay!?”
Launched NG+ and then went … nevermind and uninstalled. I check nexus every now and then to see if there is some amazing total overhaul mod to fix things since Bethesda feels like a lost cause anymore.
How is it that past fo76 some people still didn’t get the message that Bethesda is a bad joke 🙂
Pretty much what killed Betheada for me. They can’t do open world anymore. The writing was on the wall with Fallout 76.
58% positive is still way too high if you ask me.
It’s too little butter scraped over too much bread. The game should have been contained to maybe 3 star systems and maybe 15 to 20 planets/moons. It needed an alien race or two (not just creatures) to create factions/tension.
And once again fallout 4 wins again in 2025
What a waste of time. We could have had e6 already.
Skyrim isn’t good if you revisit it either. Or any of the Bethesda fallouts…
They are great time wasters though
Bethesda could have done a no man’s sky but what they are doing is pathetic
I still hope this game gets a Cyberpunk/No Man’s Sky turnaround. You would think a game by such a renowned studio would be forced by Microsoft to do this, and the ‘cruise mode’ hints look like the only promising sign that this is actually what’s happening (hence the radio silence). But I still doubt it. I don’t intend to jump back into the game again unless it achieves this.
Lost everything due to a mods glitch. I am still playing and find the game tolerable when enhanced with mods. Just beware that too many can be bad for your saves.
Its no Space Marine 2, yet its not worse than any other space rpg. Have you tried EVE? There is a hell hole.
Id buy it on my rog if the sale was decent, not worth any more then $20 to me. Played it with gamepass but i think i broke it with mods so i stopped
Played the hell out of this game on launch… Probably put over 100 hrs in the first 2 weeks and then the fun was over… The hype for me was there
Finished the game once, never picked it up again.
Bethesda is made up of people who are way less creative and way more corporatized than in the past. Such people could only make a good game by accident.
I paid a pretty cheap price for the deluxe edition for starfield and I do have my fun, just recently I downloaded a pretty big mod load order, I stopped playing for like 4 days and when I tried to run it it said the script extender wasn’t up to date. I had fun for about 10 hours before they dropped an update making my modded playthrough unplayable until its updated. I honestly though the game was abandoned it caught me so off guard
Honestly, they should have already released like 2 Elder Scrolls games by now. No need for a bigger world than Skyrim. Just take that size again, fill it with interesting stuff to do and quests, and fans would have been relatively happy. Instead we got super giant open world which has nothing to do, more guns and shooting again, and almost no quests relative to the size of the world, and weak story.
If I lived in starfield and knew it was going to be that bland and boring I would have stayed on Earth when they evacuated.
All the unnecessary different ammo types too ffs
Making it overly complicated doesn’t make it “deep”
If I were Microsoft, I’d fire Todd and Emile both for incompetence.
This game is fun
*still a joke*
Fixed that title for ya 😂
I got starfield for free twice (bought a computer) and didnt even wanna play it. XD
Starfield in 2025 is a joke, but Star Wars Genesis total conversion is Gandalf the White descending upon Helm’s Deep.
I liked it for the most part, its a great foundation for something much greater but they haven’t added much, also some choices they have made leave me a bit … meh, the best things to me are probably the side faction mission’s, ship building was cool, but they come up with a DLC and no Varruun ship or parts? for the player to buy or get? also, i thought starfield was supposed to be “Nasa Punk” but then you go with the Varruun dlc about phantoms? Cmon now
The worst thing about Starfield is that they ALREADY knew it wouldn’t work, because they learned this exact lesson with Daggerfall. Then they improved their series massively with Morrowind.
But those lessons have been completely forgotten.
King snake oil salesman (Todd Howard🥳🥳) put out another STINKER
I was deployed to the middle east, working 12+ hour shifts, 6 days a week. On my day off I put 2.5 hours into the game, then I moved on due to boredom.
the lisp really makes this hard for me to watch and enjoy, even if the content is solid…
ESVI is being prioritized over Starfield and that’s the right thing to do. It’s a guaranteed success and they can fix Starfield later. People talked massive trash about No Man’s Sky now they’re using it as the comparison to Starfield. A little disingenuous imo
Worst part is, even mods aren’t picking their game up. I tried to look over mods to actually try a Starfield run since the base game is unfinished and unfun, but there are no mods to make it better. It’s just a mess, and I don’t expect much from the next elders scrolls. As far as Bethesda goes, they lost me as a customer with how they managed the Starfield part.
Ah, yes, the supposed Star Citizen killer 😂
I was really excited for it. I played it the moment it came out. I lost interest after about 20 hours and haven’t played it since.
1:46 It’s less that there’s nothing interesting about the world, moreso that everything interesting has already happened. Humanity has undergone a mass extinction event in which earth has become uninhabitable, the settled systems endured three separate interplanetary wars so destructive they’d rendered multiple worlds as death zones — all of this over a century before the game takes place. Art imitates life in Starfield: much like the real world, you play as someone living in a bland, mildly dystopian future. Where you get to clean up the events of a much more interesting past which you weren’t invited too.
they could’ve just developed TES6 but noooooooo, they made this piece of s@@@
10,000 planets 1 City and 1 Cabin.
i wish people would stop with CP77 shittalk, like it was somehow “reborn” from a shit game… it was one of the best games right after release. just a few bugs and horrible driving physics, that was all, theres no game without bugs these days. the ONLY big problems were with ps4 versions, because of its DATED AF hardware, and childish, loudly yelling userbase…
Their shitty engine can’t do these games
I wonder if this game would get nearly as much hate if it was a ps exclusive. Cyberpunk was a buggy mess until its updates, which took over a year to come. If it weren’t for its esthetic, it would’ve been written off before those updates even happened.
I played it at launch, 30fps, buggy mess, gamepass day 1. And I loved it , even 100% it😅 I’ve played pretty much every other BGS game, so I went in knowing the creation engine is outdated. I’ll admit the story was some of their worst written, that on top of ai generated planets definitely zapped a lot of fun out of it. The ship building, base building and sense of exploration saved it for me aswell as the music man the music’s great
starfield on release was a joke what are we talking about here?
I appreciate the way you highlight text while reading it
I can’t stand all these video game disappointments anymore
I’m just disappointed that they completely fucked this game up. Could have been a nice title but not with this archaic game engine. They are stuck in the past, that’s the problem.
I’m just now playing through it but I by no means think it’s a waste and no exploration.
Cheers
I just deleted the game ,i was an avid player enjoyed it for awhile but then it got so boring ,tge same maos turned up time after time, I got to level 317 the boom the game kept crashing ,no patches or online help , i got so annoyed that any sort of help never came other than start thr game over again then it kept crashing even .
The irritating fact that changing you chatater you had to have pronouns and it would let you continue without them.Thankfully I have moved on to other Space games with stories ,great characters that dont argue with you if you accidently kill someone or stupid little kids on the soacship telling the same endless joke over and over and if you went back to the main base planet uou get fined and put in jail , after playing for so long you end up frustrated, bored and totally fed up .Best decision to delete the game ,go back to Halo or wait for Star citizen 42 to come out .
Space game with no space travel? ok, like a racing game without driving. Why bother?
There’s no excuse for Bethesda putting no effort into their main quests. Emil doesn’t try because he’s convinced player’s don’t care, but never considers that players don’t care about the main quest because it’s bad. Modern Bethesda is in the rut that is in because Emil doesn’t care or even try, and Todd seems like he’s checked out, or completely forgot what a good game looks like.
Yes, this game could be great. Bethesda could improve it, and the modern community can definitely do some good work. But first they have to want to do that. Good work and the game just isn’t worth it in its current state. Very disappointing. I was so very excited.I just went back to no man’s sky.
I was incredibly excited about this game when I first learned about it. A space-based game from a company that has proven its ability to create awesome open world games? Hell yes.
And then it came out and I realized that it’s actually hell no. I played it for a few hours, mostly ran around in that space station or wherever that you first get to as part of the initial story. That’s about it. My brother played it quite a bit more than I did, but he eventually stopped as well.
One of the worst things they did was close you off from interacting in other towns and the citizens of those towns as soon as you chose which major faction you belonged to. It was systematically implemented to betray any faction or the pirates. You couldn’t just do it. No freedom. No content just empty space. Calling it trash is an insult to trash. This game is the reason I don’t enjoy playing video games anymore. Not looking forward to elder scrolls 6. Each elder scrolls get progressively worse. This company is done. It was slightly fun while it lasted.
Bethesda RPGs will continue to be garbage as long as Pagliarulo has any involvement in story writing.
I’m more excited for you and Luke Stephen’s reporting on Starfield than Starfield itself. I was optimistic on initial launch, got my copy for free, but the long stretches between updates killed my enthusiam and finally after i think 100 hrs I suddenly stopped caring about the game and moved on.
Its boring relative mess with no purpose behind most of its “end game” systems, in fact I was so pissed when I got to hour 150 to realize that the game dev was implying doing the same lame puzzle 1,000 times to unlock abilities I never needed to beat the game was the end game, base building means nothing because there is nothing I can not simply buy by playing the base game one time through, and the five seconds of “new story” at their home base is a joke.
Meanwhile, practically nothing changes from playthrough to playthrough. Bases repeat themselves.
It is one of the shallowest RPGs I’ve ever played.
Bethesda is the worst gaming company. On pair with shittendo
That thing was awful, why play Starfield when we have No Man’s Sky.
I tried to play the dlc and was bored out of my mind and just quit.
I truly enjoy the game and also play Elite Dangerous and X4. I believe the main issue was the overhyped expectations surrounding its release. With stronger writing, it could have been even better. Despite that, I’m still playing and finding joy in it. I actually prefer it over Skyrim, and the remastered version of Oblivion only managed to hold my attention for about two weeks.
srarfield runs on an engine that should have been remade like 10 years ago. This game terrible in every. single. part.
21:25 “bold ambition”? Nah.
The overpriced paid mods derail any potential of this game to succeed like Skyrim.
Bethesda was definitely hoping modders would fix their game for them.
This game looked steril and unfun from the getgo, i never understood, why people even thought this will be a good game, even before the release. I played it a few hours at a friend and it was okay, but there are a ton of other games that do it alot better. Even in the same context of an epic space-explorer-rpg, No Mans Sky destroys Starfield, the only thing that game isnt better as Starfield is the shooting, but if u want that, play Cyberpunk 2077. Starfield trys to do everything and it does everytrhing, but only just good enough to not be called trash… its as mid as it can get
“not reccomended” at 102 hours 😂
Game aged poorly on release day in 2023
I stopped doing quests and started focusing on building my outpost. I leveled up like 50 levels faster just by crafting than exploring and killing enemies. It feels like this game is more a construction/management simulator game than an action/adventure rpg.
To everyone who told me i was just being a negative hater, behold your unpolished turd in all its “glory”.
Star-what ?
I bought an Xbox series X to play this game and it got boring very quickly. The updates are interesting but not enough to keep me playing. I’m a level 55 and I feel like I can kill any enemy with just a few shots of my weakest weapon.
The one thing I want in this game so bad is aliens, not the starborn crap. I think their should be a major alien invasion where the fractions have to work together or be destroyed
The outer worlds walked, so starfield could limp.
Bro i was so close to buying that clock and special edition, so glad never did
Never will play it… and never buy a game from them
I hated the main story. Why would I want to ctrl-alt-delete my base, ship, etc to start over again?? It’s lame.
Funny how they thought comparing our astronauts that landed on the moon had nothing on the moon to explore is the reason the game had planets with nothing on them. Dont have planets that are empty. You want players to explore planets with life on them or ruins for you to explore, not a empty planet/moon.
One of the best adventure games ever
Starfield is a prime example of everything wrong with “modern” gaming and why catering to the “modern audience” that doesn’t exist is a big mistake a f failure, business is not complicated – you give your customers what they want – that’s it. If you don’t listen to them and on’t give them what they want they will leave, they will turn against you and you as a company will lose cred.
Bad TODD
Can someone explain why BGS cant just fucking fire Howard and get someone else in that actually gives people what they want…? Like how does this dude still have a career there to begin with after Fallout 76…?? What is he, married to the founder or something?
5:00, can the game failed because it was sh*t, not because it was too different from their previous work. No man’s sky was a much better with a similar concept
I played it for a few hours, but it did not hook me so I abandoned it.
i play this game a lot actually…….with the star wars genesis mod pack XD
Just like all bethesda games starfield looks better with mods
Never even played it. Just didn’t look appealing
Easy sweet baby inc touched it
The crazy thing is that it would be easy to make this game 50% better for very little cost: add a couple dozen more each of crashed ship, cave, settler, mine, labs, etc. maps for the random map generator. Add in a monthly map, creature, and NPC/stand alone quest drop. Have it even Player generated, make it a monthly contest: use a creation engine and let Players create content for the engine if you don’t want to pay your internal team…
16 times the refunds
Saw a friend boot thos game up and then stopped 10 mins later on steam. So happy I saved a lot of time skipping this game
Sad it went the way it did. Only thing fun for me is building ships and outpost whenever I return to it in small doses.
Well, it is a single player game that is a couple of years old so what do you expect? One of my top five favorite games of all time. The haters never cease to amaze me with their asinine takes.
Im not going to disagree that this game was lazily designed. For example. The ship that had been traveling for hundreds and thousands of years that left earth before FTL was invented, looked exactly the same as all other interiors with the same kind of technology.
However, yes it’s true that most NPCs are forgettable, but so are the NPCs of skyrim. Other than deadric gods, I cant think of any NPCs I remember. Same with oblivion. I just replayed the remastered version and other than the king, I cant think of any other memorable NPC. Same with morrowind (best elder scrolls in my opinion).
And let us not forget that this game is the only OG IP of current day Bethesda.
The people that laid the foundation for The Elder Scrolls are long gone.
And Fallout is a bought IP, just corporate piracy.
Games of this level is the future of Bethesda products.
No matter how much you love Skyrim, it is a fact that it’s the lesser ES game… dumbed down because Todd thinks the players cant use their brains to figure shit out.
And Fallout 4 is the weakest single player Fallout.
The writing is on the wall.
Dropped it in the prologue when I had a vision ripped from Mass Effect, the dialogue choices were incredibly railroaded and a guy gave a random miner his own ship for the flimsiest reason. Aside from the cliche story, the experience was just janky and unpolished. Compared to something like Cyberpunk’s Lifepath Choices and the Konpeki Tower Heist, it’s like amateur hour.
It’s a bad game to its very skeleton. If Bethsoft wants to make this franchise work it needs a total overhaul, probably starting with the game engine that is no longer AAA quality.
Keep it simple – emil
Starfield could have been so successful if it was literally elder scrolls in space. “Captain, we are picking up a distress signal from a bosmer vessel.” Would have gone so hard.
Thanks for the summary. I was thinking of giving it another chance but I can’t find anything remotely positive has changed and that is sad.
“PPl wanted something like Fallout or Skyrim”
No todd, starfiled is exactly like fallout in 2015. IF starfield came out 10 years ago it would have been fine, but you didnt evolve at all in 10 years. This slopp doesnt cut it anymore. Not even modders want to touch it which is the death for all Bethesda games.
When the game had just released i had it pre-ordered completed the game then spent about 9days to get to highest level of starborn, Haven’t played it since…🤦♂️😅
I purchased several player quests and downloaded a lot of free content from the Creation Market. So far, I’m happy with the addons. I believe the game has a lot of potential, but due to its size, it will take years to fully develop. There are too many resources available in New Atlantis, and the planets need to have more diverse biomes. Rare resources should actually be rare and have tiered mining grades. There should be a compelling reason to explore and research the planets, plants, and creatures. It would also be exciting if, when hijacking Class C ships, there was a timed self-destruct mechanism that you had to disarm in order to claim the ship. While there is a lot of potential, the game feels quite repetitive outside of certain quest chains. I’ve played for over 900 hours, so personally, I don’t feel it was a waste of money.
Do I think about Starfield anymore? No. However, I’m not quite as pessimistic as you are.
See, Fallout 76 launched in a god awful state… barely playable, everyone was somewhere between disappointed our outright despised it. Controversy after controversy… everyone, including yourself, said that game was dead on arrival. Bethesda’s BIGGEST mistake! Yet, FO76 still lives today. It took YEARS for them to “fix” it… but it’s currently healthy enough to keep chugging along. It’ll never be the all-star they wanted it to be, sure… but it’s finally “good enough” to keep a steady playerbase. It keeps the lights on and helps fund development.
Sea of Thieves is much the same story… released blatantly unfinished. Pretty to look at but shallow, over-simplified, gameplay made everyone say the game sucked and Rare was all washed up. Yet Sea of Thieves is still going… after almost a decade it’s still one of Microsoft’s better performing titles!
As you’ve mentioned, No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 also had rough launches, but eventually… they turned things around and today those games have pretty positive opinions around them. It took years to do so… the “audience” was supposedly not there anymore, it was too late. Yet, here we are.
Starfield may never be the slam-dunk, genre defining, must-play, masterpiece(!) that we all hoped for. However, even if it never reaches the dizzying highs of Skyrim or Fallout, the game can still be made better, it can still bring players enjoyment. Modders have already proved that beyond a doubt. So, abandoning it and writing it off as a lost cause only to have to wait for another 6-8 years for literally ANYTHING else… just doesn’t seem like a good answer.
Let them cook, if it comes out rancid, at least they’re consistent.
You always seem like you really just can’t wait to play some more Starfield LoL!! Feels like this is your go to topic… Nothing to talk about, “Well guys, remember that Star Field sucked?!”.
Haha dude SF launched on GP n did well enough. People that were expecting, “The game of the generation” were always delusional.
Star Field wasn’t my game of the year by any means, but the game was fun enough to play through some of the different faction missions. The game must have been good enough for you to make like 10 videos on it.
Yeah same. A game dev worst nightmare
Trash like this is why you never pre-order.
Skyrim and Fallout worked because modders kept it going. No modder could be bothered to try and fix this game
If they replaced everyone with colored hair, noserings and pronouns with middle aged white men well, even with severely aged engine they would win big, period, one can disagree but you would be wrong. Regards
The worst game i have ever looked forward to
Remember when this game was announced and one devs said how he likes how he can jump high and throw bombs at enemies?
That’s the scope of intelligence that it took to make this abominable cash grab.
This game was kinda heartbreaking. I fully expected to fall in love with this game. Kept playing waiting for the hook, but realized after about 40 hours, it just wasn’t gonna happen, and I checked out.
Bethesda pulled a Nintendo on this one. Made a game that had decent possibilities, put in a total half assed effort, didn’t listen to player gripes, then made it worse with updates. Based on Nintendo’s previous actions, I’m guessing Bethesda will just let it rot at this point. The only thing they didn’t do is brick people’s consoles or PC’s for trying to mod the game.
With Starfield, Bethesda abandoned everything that made their games great: rich and deep lore, well developed characters that fit naturally in the world they inhabited and a curated and carefully considered world that begged and rewarded its exploration. Whoever moved them away from that should be removed immediately–they are cancer, and I guarantee they lost Bethesda millions. (Not to mention the trust of their fan-base. People like me who, otherwise, love their games)
I still come across people who unironically call this game fantastic and a masterpiece, and share Todd’s opinion that everybody else just simply “didn’t like it as much”. They point to the playercount number BGS put out as proof it was a roaring success and don’t want to acknowledge the state of the game, both on its own and compared to past games.
I see a future where BGS games become more and more niche. Not because they do something really specific, but because fewer and fewer people want to play them.
“This was a mistake, let’s just ditch Starfield and not come back”
I’m sure Bethesda thinks the same way and won’t do something unbelievably stupid like release a Starfield MMO.
Even the people that swore it’s good aren’t playing it anymore
The game is to repetitive, from identical locations spread around random locations to grinding the power ups via the floating temples.
Round and round in circles and more of the same.
Bigger is not always better.
Another troll who thinks starfield is so lame and irrelevant he keeps making videos about it. People who hate starfield spend just as much time making shitpost videos as people who like the game are playing it. Its like watching The View
The most interesting part of the game took place before the game takes place.
I played for three hours and quit the moment I reached the big city. I’m glad I got the game for free, at least.
I’m glad some people have enjoyed it, however, I feel that many willed themselves to enjoy it as not to break the tradition of betraying their Bethesda fandom.
Bethesda has a Bethesda problem. It just seems to be festering and festering. Either the company dies or someone replaces Todd and rebuilds the culture within.
7:00 do you have an intellectual disability? Concurrent players is not player count. Furthermore, the vast majority of players for starfield are outside of the steam ecosystem. I think anyone with a fully functional brain would be able to understand that.
I literally re downloaded to play the astrogate mod. THE ONLY THING that would draw me back. Only to find it isn’t on Xbox creation club. Dogshit game. I need Todd Howard job’ security
Idgaf I still enjoy starfield sucks that so many people forgot how to have fun. I’m playing it right now at 2000 hours so cry honestly no body cares if you don’t like the game
I plan to play it, just to platinum it… but defo going to be modding it (Not with their sh*t modding, with free modding)
The planets and galaxies need a directory or index. Also there should be a mechanic to allow Grand theft auto or space pirate mode. It needs to be more like Cyberpunk, or Grand Theft Auto, and less like Elder Scrolls. The bounty system needs to be re-worked as well. And finally the ship builder needs to be more user friendly for game console users; zooming in and out, moving up or down on the camera is terrible, I can’t build a ship because it’s nearly impossible. Banjo Kazzoie nuts and bolts had a decent builder mode compared to this.
The loading screens and bugs is what a lot of people complain about but the story itself is why I stopped playing. Seriously, what is the point of doing all that activity in a universe you will end up leaving for a new universe with the same planets and people, except no one remembers you and everything you did, you actually didn’t do in the wiped clean universe
To be honest, I think they’re going to redo the game and put it out at the end of this year by Christmas. I could be wrong, but I think they need to set up a better relationship going into elder scrolls six
Starfield was a money grab. That’s it. It’s not a serious game by any stretch of the imagination. It would have done better as a cell game or a Netflix game. They wanted to make some money at the expense of their fans. Bethesda does not care about this game at all. They juke the few players who are left to keep milking them with paid mods. It is no where near as ambitious as it was supposed to be. They constantly are threatening to improve the game. We will never see that.
Even to my friends, I basically told them Starfield was classic Bethesda. It was a buggy mess. Moderately fun, and an ok story. It definitely wasn’t anything groundbreaking, and not worth paying full price. I made these comments long before Shattered Space, which I still have not purchased.
I’d buy it if they made it way better. they need to look at star citizen a bit if they want it that to be that successful. right now i might buy it for $20 maybe. if they want to make a space game let us fly and travel (not fast travel) to other planets and explore.
And yet we will have Starfield 2 before any new Fallout game 😢. Bethesda has fallen very sad
58% is still a C and people crapped on outcast but I’m.having a great time with it any game can be fun when you don’t overpay lol
It was ok, I was expecting more, I will probably buy the seaborne dlc. I want Bethesda to remaster the fallout 3
You’ve become so overwhelming negative. Maybe need a different hobby?
Bethesda should axe all their IPs except for starfield, and i hope the big news they promised in 2025 is a starfield 2 announcement
Starfield is why my hopes for a decent ES6 are non existent. Bethesda are done.
Just another day for the most overrated slop slinger.
Looks like feedback from people who never played the game, take that first message for example saying they don’t know a single NPCs name or part of the story.
Clearly they didn’t pay attention or didn’t play the game, the name of the first NPCs you work with are Sarah and Connor doing a salvage job for another NPC named Barrett. That’s like right at the start of the game so obviously he didn’t play it or he’d know those names right from the start.
It’s not a fantastic game that’s super exciting with an emotional Rollercoaster story but if you claim not to know the name of a single NPC then your opinion is irrelevant because clearly you didn’t play the game or have dogcrap for a memory. Even if you can’t spell their names accurately you would still know their names.
I’ll be completely honest with you guys, my first intro to Bethesda was Fallout 3. I fell absolutely in love with it. Then New Vegas, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 4, 76 even. Thousands of hours combined but then came Starfield. Complete garbage, couldn’t play for at least 30 minutes.
Not even a glorified sandbox. They thought the Mod community would save their asses. The mechanics were a step back. Looting bodies and there outfit still on them etc. This was a lemon and they punted it hoping to make someone money back off their incompetence. Hey everyone its Skyrim IN SPACE.. not really though. Would rather play the first iteration of No Man Sky compared to this horse apple! At least that developer redeemed himself and it is a fantastic game today! Fug U Todd HOWARD… Grabbing some night shade a copy of sweet mothers kiss and a human heart… “Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.” We know who the target is!
I only played it for a dozen or so hours. Not far into the main story. I noticed right away some things that killed it:
1. First impression of trying to find any fucking store in the city and the awful city maps. Instant annoyance.
2. I very quickly picked up on the Dragan born in space chosen one plot line. Deemed it boring.
3. Do you like loading screens? To bad. This broke that seamless immersion needed to get really sucked in.
4. Go explore any and all the vast amounts of planets only to see the same layout buildings and dungeons with pointless loot. While trekking across procedurally generated slop. Exploring in skyrim was fun and EVERYONE who ever played it knows how you could be doing a quest A and find a cave and get distracted doing that instead for an hour or more sometimes. You don’t get that in Starfield.
5. RPG games used to have very robust conversation trees where you left a conversation feeling like you got your own version based on your Q/A. Go do that pirate vs military plot line and TRY to be the worst human you can. You still get pigeon holed into a certain good outcome or you could wind up getting game braking reputation issues
Soo many issues. Add all that up and knowing they used a very old very updated game engine doesn’t help. If all those points above had been better I could have overlooked that tired game engine they were using but it was just icing on the cake of “NOPE”
You know it is a single player game??? What a stupid video😂😂😂
We could have had a unique game if each universe was different after we beat the game and it built up to something super epic. instead the only change in the multiverse is the stupid adventure club, just another dropped ball by the Bethesda writers.
“It’s BORING” said Az almost.. 2 years ago, and was crucified by the internet for being a fat, neckbeard looser yelling at Bethesda’s brand new, super awesome video game. Think he’s still waiting for a collective apology, even though pretty much everyone come around on the issue by now.
Lack of content i see
As someone who owns a ton of BGS games, Starfield just looked dull when it released. It looked like a different version of the same mechanics from Fallout, but in space, with more loading screens, and a higher price tag.
Less cities than skyrim, infinitely bigger
I’m still playing Skyrim after 15 years. I put down Starfield after my first play through. Too burned out for ng +
The biggest mistake Bethesda made was choosing to teach the player about the history of the coolest possible conflict in that universe instead of having that interplanetary war be the focal point of the first game in the Starfield series. Being able to choose sides in that massive and sprawling conflict would’ve made the game feel purposeful and rich, but no…
A game not even a full fledged Star Wars reskin mod could save. Sad to see.
The biggest difference between Starfield and Cyberpunk is, the story of Cyberpunk was actually decent on launch. The world was cool, and over 75% of it wasn’t procedurally generated. So if you didn’t encounter any game breaking bugs it was solid. (I’m pretty sure the only one I ran into on my 1st launch play through was T posing when I’d get on a bike.) It definitely got better with each patch, but story didn’t change. You’d have to completely redo Starfield. Even if you had every planet handcrafted, it wouldn’t change the fact that the guys at Bethesda couldn’t write themselves out of a paper bag. Shatter Space proved that.
I…keep downloading the game thinking “I’ll give Space Skyrim a shot” and then uninstall it after one hour…this hour consisted mostly of “loading screens”
Bethesda actively wanting to update their games for years is what is killing the modding experience. Nobody wants to turn a side project into a full-time job.
If they set their next dlc in a huge galactic war and didn’t make us walk through a slideshow presentation of all the cool stuff that happened 20 years ago, maybe that would be cool,? I love the idea of better space travel, that would make me able to play non stop, I love space , only reason I’m still playing this game, it’s the only option I have for something like this “I’m on Xbox”
Yeah this game would need a massive overhaul of it foundation. The core of the game is just bad. They would need a full on cyberpunk 2077 level of rebuilding the game.
Bought the game, downloaded and installed it. Played the tutorial, went to the nearest pirate base….and quit and got a refund.
I’m done with Bethesda games. Didn’t even get the Oblivion remaster.
I personally liked the Shipbuilding aspect of this game and general idea Starfield that being said It was a let down.
I have a question for Bethesda …do you guys even play your own games?
This will be Todd Howard’s legacy… how unfortunate.
The biggest cultural impact of starfield was Az/Heelvsbabyface ranting about the game.
I bought this game. Long story short it is almost a scam.
Probably not handcrafted, but AI generated.
Go ahead and bring it to PS5. I won’t be buying it or playing it even if it gets put into PS+. Ya done fucked up Bethesda.
Starfield is a scam
I love how so many people in game don’t believe in aliens but then their settlements are 5 feet away from giant alien structures. Or how the main base on mars has a plaque that makes fun of the face mars in it ad yet 50 feet away form that base I found ancient alien bones. How that no animals from earth made it to the other worlds, we know these universe has cloning tech and can clone humans but nobody brought DND samples from animals? Really?
Tell you what. I wont be buying there next title even if it ends up a banger. Ill either pirate it or wait for a hefty sale. Wasted $80+ on this garbage that they refuse to fix, and it our fault we can’t figure out where all the work went into this steaming shit, with it 5 locational flips.
Todd Howard reminds me of that OUYA lady who tried selling an Android box as a “console”. All smoke and mirrors.
I gave it a fair chance and even made a few mods early on and then started working on some cool mod ideas and ended up quitting it all because the game is just so terrible in every way and it wasnt worth my time
There can be a few reasons why Starfield was just less mediocre. Emil Pagliarulo is definitely one of the main reasons.
How much does somebody want to bet that you’ll be radiation-born in the next fallout and blast enemies with radiation-magic? Because that will be exactly as creative as the starborn and their magic were in the starfield story, lol. Regardless, we know you will be searching for a family member because only obsidion could write a fallout story with a unique storyline.
I enjoyed a good bit of SF but only because I had to add 120 mods to make it fun for me. You can’t fix a fundamentally boring game
I don’t think bethesda today has the talent to make a game half as good as they used to make. Oh well, they made a few great ones that I really enjoyed, and I appreciate them for that. They had a good run but peaked early. Bethesda has become creatively bankrupt. They will pump out maybe one more fallout and try for a final elder scrolls, but those games will only be as “good” as starfield, and I won’t be buying them.
I really enjoyed the game to be honest, even with all of the very prevalent flaws, but after beating the story and entering NG+, I set it down for a bit and just never ended up coming back. I might someday just for the Star Wars mods but it just didn’t hold me even if I enjoyed my time with it.
This is the game i never passed the tutorial with… nuff said.
Todd Howard is like Stockton Rush of gaming industry. The only difference is that he and his customers survived the disaster(s) he’s responsible for.
How can you make a space game with all these generated planets but only have 4 cities and absolutely no alien races? I wouldn’t say it’s completely terrible but its a far distance from the bethesda we knew.
Your lower lip and thin facial hair make me, though guiltily, indescribably uncomfortable
I actually came back to star field only to build ships with mods. Honestly it would feel better with a newer engine and enemies that stopped scaling with you after a certain point, no need for enemies to be bullet sponges when I am using the best weapons available to me at a high af level, fall out 4 had this same issue.
It’s pretty clear Starfield is just a slop game meant to shovel paid mods to whatever idiots are still around playing this boring-ass game.
Just started fallout 3 again and having a blast.
It’s sad that bethesda is so bad now.
Bethesda fan boy here, i has a sad 🙁
The only thing this shoddy product is going to be used for, is a massive total conversion mod that is in the same scope as enderal, or fallout london. I only brought fo4 and skyrim to play such mods. both base games are trash.
I’m done with Starfield and I wish they would move on. I couldn’t care less about a new dlc. Starfield is the first Bethesda game that I couldn’t finish.
One of my biggest issues with starfield (looking past the major red flags like boring planets, millions of loading screens, boring npc’s, etc) was its world building. They wanted it to be too “real”. Real isn’t always “fun”. Shoulda leaned more into what made mass effect a great game instead of trying to use realism.
And lastly, they need to get rid of Emil paggy. That guy has done more hard to Bethesda than anyone else there.
No mans sky- Fixed and Amazing, CyberPunk- fixed and ever more amazing!, Starfield, did you even try?… With how amazing Elden ring has been, who needs to play Starfield, Game is unfinished and hardly a game, but they would rather have is pay for the rest of the game in a form of DLC, instead of it being part of the base game. Best part of starfield was…
I’m probably never buying another Bethesda product
i finished the game twice by 2024 wtf would i stick around for. this aint an mmo
Looking right now…….Steam DB numbers…….(Middle of the night)
Fallout 4 — 12.464
Skyrim — 15,321
Starfield — 3,116
What do you remember about Starfield? The rant.
Space fishing…….hear me out
nobody at Bethesda actually knows how to make videogames, all those people are gone, it’s just buzzwords and empty promises with them now. 0 hype for the next elderscrolls, I don’t think they have it in them.
When they say that they “listen to your feedback”, they actually mean they “listen to your POSITIVE feedback”.
Back to back video from different people talking about the state of starfield in 2025. Both with wildly different titles on their videos. One good, one bad. BOTH accounts egregiously clickbait, ragebait, and engagement bait farm for clicks. The state of youtube and it’s content creators is absolutely absurd. Garbage content.
It is free on game pass and I never even installed it. I have zero interest in modern Bethesda story telling or playing with that legacy engine. Just imagine playing that trash after cyberpunk, LOL Bethesda put pronounce selection in the character creation this just shows even they got infiltrated by money wasting activists.
Could have been great, but instead it was… Meh.
Especially the New world plus..
it has a story, claiming it has not story just proves most players never made it out of the beginning.
I mean.. I’ve put in 100s of hours between Fallout 4 and Skyrim and technically I’ve quit on them every time. Never once finished their main story haha
Glad I never bought it (thanks game pass). The game was cool for a first play through, especially if you took your time doing side/mini quest before main. After that, going through unity multiple times just for a hunter starborn skin and the same layouts. Stopped playing, Tried a few of the DLCs, but nothing too hyped about. Game had so much potential, but everything felt hollow after playing. (Skyrim), I could play over and over, which I have and still do.
Starfield is a perfect reflection of the gaming industry low quality visuals runs bad no content and what’s there is very boring plus of course lots of Censorship and injected Degeneracy Garbage at this point we really need a full gaming crash otherwise nothing will change
0 dollars spent on starfield. This will not change.
One of the most irrelevant pieces of media in recent memory
Sorry boss I don’t need a 25 mins essay to no it’s a joke
Let’s not forget…. Because of this shitshow of a game tes 6 was pushed back even further.
Bethesda has to really stop with the woke devs and just hire modders to create their games moving forward.
Meanwhile a different studio remastered Oblivion and it sold like hotcakes lmao maybe Todd Howard should retire.
bethesda has always sucked
Yeah I gave it around 200 hours when it came out, once I finished the main story and the few side mission ‘stories’ that I hoped would give a decent payoff (they didn’t). I just couldn’t be bothered anymore. Exploration lost its ‘charm’ quickly.
Get a life hater
Yeah, my review was “You can go anywhere, do anything… But why would you want to?”
Look, I get it. Startfield was Todd’s childhood dream game. He flexed his authority and chose to make this, because he felt he might not live to see it made if he didn’t do it now. He gets a pass this time but if The Elder Scrolls 6 is just as bad, Bethesda won’t survive.
As someone who wasn’t even hyped for the game and thought it was a bad move for Bethesda from the start, I was still disappointed. But I get it.
I tried so hard to like starfield, but i can’t. It’s so lifeless, boring and uttly bland. It is so safe that there’s nothing left to work with. It’s completely sterilized not to offend a single person yet pandering to a very small minority. It is just pure corporate slop, and i have given up on ES6 being any different.
First thing I did when playing starfield was go to the moon and find the first space landing and.. I have not played it since release week.
I have almost 800 hours in Fallout4 and maybe 150 hours on console and can honestly say without remorse that I never once finished Fallout 4, Far Harbour or Nukaworld.
I was given Deathloop for $6 and never installed it and was given 76 by a friend who wanted to play and we have not went back to that after 20 hours of goofing around, we then played ESO and we also got bored of that after 96 hours in.
Some may argue that mods make it all better but that cope should not set a standard or be used an excuse for why Bethesda has never came close to scratching that itch since Skyrim and Fallout NV and gave not one but two empty sandboxes and a cash shop to spend more money on to fill that void.
“Here is your $80 sandbox, it might only have one bucket of sand but for $30 you can buy this additional quarter of a bucket of sand and while you are at it, you should buy your own sand and buy someone else’s toys to play to enjoy it”
I am worried ES6 will also be just as bland and boring and over monetized. They might even sell Skyrim Grandma as a DLC Ultra Ultra Deluxe edition feature.
games been a joke since release. not just 2025 bud. though to be fair im pretty sure half of my time spent in game was in ship builder. even skyrim was never a great game. the modders made skyrim great and fun, not bethesda
Been back to mess around in skyrim twice since this game came out, haven’t touched this since the first time i finished it.
There’s plenty of other people saying but I feel like a ton of previously celebrated dev companies, got complacent from their mod communities. Then saw how far mods could extend sales and decided “we only need to make the foundation.” “If we create a very open world with a tone, they’ll fill it in for us.” Or saw how the smallest indies were supported and are now working backwards because the ROI looks so good.
Game was super underwhelming. Fell asleep every single time I’ve played
the only decent story line that I remember from star field was the UEA? one where you investigate heat worms.
I could not disagree more with this take. The game is good. Is it perfect? No. But BGS did some innovative stuff with this game. A narrative driven new game plus for one. Let them cook.
So Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty all released around the same time. I only had enough at the time to purchase two of them. Starfield was the most expensive, being $10 motors than BG3.
I always enjoyed Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Were they that good? No but I could spend countless hours in those worlds. Whereas BG3 was a type of game I was never really into: turn based squad strategy.
I decided to buy Phantom Liberty and BG3. I always figured I could buy Starfield later. I absolutely fell in love with both of those. However, anytime I heard anything about Starfield, I felt less and less motivated to purchase it.
I don’t regret my decision.
They should have a just put this on ice and invested time in EO6 and a New Vegas remaster/sequal
Ive bought the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt on xbox one, Xbox Series X, PS5, Switch (both physical and digital) Ill gladly reward developers for outstanding work.
Bethesda needs to get rerolled starting with Todd
So glad I didn’t fall for it
I’m glad I’m not a huge Bethesda fan. I’ve played untold hours of Skyrim. Who hasn’t? But I didn’t play Morrowind or Oblivion. I played Fallout 1 when I was in highschool. But there were about 10.years in which I really didn’t play video games all that much. But I know a lot of good people who played all of the classic Bethesda games. It’s like having watched what happened to my friends who are LOTR fans when The Rings of Power thing happened. My big letdown was Star Trek. Everything is becoming mainstream, and everything is transubstantiating into feces.
Bethesda seemingly expected that content expansion mods on the scale of Tamriel Rebuilt would appear within a month to keep players around, because they sure as hell didn’t create any themselves.
Look. I bought the game, played it for maybe 100 hours while I was deployed, and put it down when I got home. I got my money’s worth out of it.
But the experience was not up to the standard that the Bethesda of old set with games like Fallout, Skyrim, and Oblivion. To Legacy’s point, Starfield was boring. The characters were forgettable, there was very little roleplay opportunity – everyone just got mad at you if you did something mean, and the “evil” faction made half the dungeons in the game a literal walk in the park – and despite the multi-verse idea, not much replay-ability.
As a huge fan of Starfield, I know I speak for a lot of us when I say we are just enjoying other games right now and will be back as soon as something new is here.
Im sorry but if they were proud of that garbage then they need to be fired lol
Starfield is kind of like Mindseye in my opinion. I think it was developed as a platform to monetize the modders ideas. I dont think bethesda were the “creatives” when it came to the game. They wanted modders to do all of the work while they sat back and took a percentage. Modern Bethesda cant compete with itself from 14 years ago and thats telling enough for me
Who ever designed the mini game to unlock the space magic should be fired and never allowed to work on another game. I fucking hate it with a burning passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn’t matter what BGS does to fix the Game Mechanics, unless they actually come out of the bunker and realise that the US F’ing A population is less than 4% of the Worlds Population, meaning it is also less than 10% of the culture, and actually provide other cultures rather than the three American cultures and one Indian one, I will never touch the game again. If they provided an explanation that indicated that the rest of the worlds cultures moved elsewhere in the universe, it might be vaguely satisfactory but seeing how empty the local area is I find it hard to believe they can provide an appropriate rationale. IMO the game as it is pretty much showed that the US murdered the rest of the world by not supplying Grav Drive plans or the plans themselves to the rest of the world.
this was the biggest piece of dog shit I’ve ever played its so stupid how this took ES6’s place I could be playing Fallout 5 right now is it wasn’t for this shit game
You know, I hate the fact that I’m commenting on your video and it’s going to help a stupid ass video and stupid ass video title get more relevance but for the record and to be clear, Starfield was a joke before it even released. It was always a joke in 2024, 2025 in fact, as long as we’ve known about Starfield, it’s been a joke.
Starfield was a huge disappointment when it released, and it still is. I expected it to be better than Star Citizen.
Eh you have to stop thinking it’s Skyrim or Fallout. Jesus intititled people suck.
Damn it’s almost like their writing team is terrible. I had zero hype for this when it was announced and the idea that people paid $100 for early access is laughable
I played for a few months after launch and haven’t touched it since
Man “No Man’s Sky” looks good today…
FIRE EMIL AND LIMIT TODD
I bought an XBOX just to play Starfield. I have not regretted it for a moment. I think the problem is that today’s gamers have the attention span of a 6 year old… or maybe it’s just an Xbox gamer thing. It’s a Bethesda game and plays like the kind of Bethesda games us Playstation OGs know and love.
and it still runs like trash
I cannot believe that we live in times where I can actually say this, but… *Bethesda made a knock-off No Man’s Sky… and it rivals that game’s first release.*
Crazy how Microsoft didn’t cancel anything dealing with this game. Yet they cancel games 10 yrs in development and on the verge or being released…. something that could Potentially make them money Nope fire the studio and scrap the game and all the work done. Yet they keep DLC Expansion for a dead game going. WTF Microsoft do you hate making money? I do not get it.
iT jUsT wOrKs
Awesome game. Haters get paid to hate.
how does a game require a ssd but still loads like its running off a old 2007 hard drive makes no sense
The story is what ruined this game for me. Multi-verses mean nothing matters in a game that should be about choices and the impact of your choices on the game world.
I tried to play it again with lots of nexus mods and after a couple of hours in I find this game to be as you said “Boring & bland”. Game is dead in the water like, totally immersed and drowned.
They need to cut this turd loose. It was a dogshit game. Todd Howard needs to get smacked and told hes an idiot that is ruining these games. The devs need to GENUINLY listen to feedback from non bethesda cuck fanboys and content creators
Its a bad game they need to let it die 😂
I’m a simple man – I see a video hating on Starfield and I click the like button
Game was a waste of time playing and creating
It was a joke at release, brah.
I think because a season pass was sold they have to provide the specified number of DLC’s. so this is likely just going to be a “we’re legally obligated to provide this DLC” then they’ll abandon the game. Hopefully they will abandon it as the game is bad and it isn’t worth any further investment.
You know goddamn well microsoft aint gon release the next Starfield DLC for free.
Would actually probably save them if they pulled a No Mans Land, though.
I was waiting for Starfield for years, I only put seventy hours into this game because I came back with hope after each big patch only to be disappointed every time. I am still baffled they claim they didn’t know what a dead crash heap this truly is. Starfield had so many examples to work from and still just failed.
Starfield is the rice cake of food 💯
The game only Todd Howard wanted
Space engineers is a much more entertaining game in that genre. Space engineers 2 Early Access is already out, I believe. I Can only Imagine that the full release of that game will destroy and MOG whatever Starfield was supposed to be.
Hot take: Cyberpunk should have been a Bethesda game.
Built to run 10,000 sandwiches but not space travel and fully made planets.
This game is still fun. The mods are great. And plenty of people still play this game.
Game was always a joke
I didn’t even know this thing has a dlc, I pretty much forgot about it after launch
We only have 4 months left in the year so if there’s a big update coming they better hurry up.
I immediately confused this game with star citizen lol
I tried Starfield on game pass, i couldn’t play for more than a few hours, same goes with “The outer worlds” the only 2 games i found to be extremely boring, even if i played outer worlds for longer
0 replayability, one playthrough was more than anyone could need
The game still sucks so bad 😂 Had to download the Star Wars mods and even that can barely save the game but it does make a significant difference. It’s a shame Disney hates actual Star Wars fans they should be making RPG’s as good as those modders
Biggest problem with the Rev-8 vehicle was all the rocks on the ground. Felt like you couldn’t drive 2 seconds without hitting a rock & bouncing around
I didn’t even know they had an expansion lol I thought they just abandoned it
When BGS says they’re “excited” about something they’re developing, I’m anticipating that they’ve found a new way to spruce up paid mods. They’re developing for shareholders now, not players.
Not ever game can be no man sky.
Just go play no man sky!
Gamer bros just can’t appreciate a good open world game
Don’t forget the goody two shoe kill joy “companions.” Only Andreja was bearable.
What happened to helldivers 2 is what Bethesda was expecting to happen to starfield, without the effort arrowhead had put into HD2
It was a joke when if came out. Why are people surprised?
I would love to see a new developer give the elder scrolls a shot at this point. Someone like larian studios who can take the elder scrolls universe to an entire new level
the only starfield stuff I’m looking forward to, is the overhaul mod that the guys who worked on Frost for fallout 4 is doing for starfield, and maybe that star wars overhaul list that a certain youtuber is doing.
sigh another common hater
It’s hard to imagine the devs played this before launch and said “This is going to be a classic!” It’s like they didn’t see the game.. just how awesome it would be once modder got involved and filled in the ginormous hole they left in the game…
I really enjoy the game with mods. To each is own.
Spent more time in the menu fast traveling then playing. The only good part about the game was the ship building and there wasn’t much you could do with the ships
Oh the cynically insane! 😂 Can’t let a good thing be, huh? Spend too much time looking for all the flaws and faults to actually enjoy the content without rushing through and missing the other 80% of the game. There are funny parts in the game, but it’s not what you call “A Joke”… It’s unfortunate you had a bad experience… But if you look beneath the surface and take your time exploring and getting to know every aspect.. it’s actually fun. Missions like Operation Starseed and Ryujin and the Crimson Fleet missions were very fun and entertaining. There’s so much hidden stuff most players miss out on, so I totally understand why you would think what you do about it.. as for me, I’m gonna go watch some more Starfield, grab a bag of chips and some water and enjoy. 🎉
Fun fact, Starfield runs on theoretically same engine as literally every previous Bethesda game since god damn Morrowind from 2002.
Their Creation Engine(which itself is based on 1997 Gamebryo xD) just gets heavily modified and updated between the games they make to accommodate new features and improve the performance of various systems, but the foundations remain the same and that’s why Bethesda games always feel the same in terms of gameplay and programming.
Technically in case of Starfield they used Creation Engine 2 but it’s yet again just another upgrade to the original and not a complete rework xD
I enjoyed the bones of the game, but the story and questing is absolutely useless. The game’s plot should have been about how you had to literally fix and repair space and time itself. The game admits that the earth was destroyed because of the grav drive system. So I would have made the game about you traveling around the universe repairing the fabric of reality and preventing the universe from collapsing unto itself. And if you ignore it too often, the camera frame shakes and grows white cracks across the screen and it pulls in the cells and causes the game to crash and you ruined the entire universe 😂. That also causes rips in the universe and as you travel to other galaxies, there are massive Yog Sogoth bosses in outer space that requires your ship combat system to be capable, navigate around the monster and blast them to chunks with your missiles and lasers. If Bethesda has any brains, they would fire Emil, and hire me instead.
My feel of Bethesda is arrogance. They’ve succeeded over and over for decades now despite the gradual decline in quality to the point they probably think they can do no wrong.
To think the only reason I could care about Starfield is because of the star wars mod being work on that game
If there’s a game that deserves all the negativity coming to it, it’s Starfield.
Microsoft ruins everything they touch
They succeeded in creating a very safe, inoffensive game. So yeh, boring.
I genuinely enjoyed the heck out of Starfield on release, played 200+ hours, explored every solar system, & completed 99% of the missions.
Then I set it down and haven’t played it in a year because there is no replay value.
Need more unique POI, fix the menus & loading screens, NPC’s in cities need more random dialogue to make them feel real & alive, etc.
They won’t be able to fix some of the core problems. But fixing menus, load screens, & adding more unique POI & quality of life fixes could make a significant difference to the long term success of the game.
Who else absolutely lost faith on TES6 after starfield release
I genuinely want to play it but it runs really bad on my pc and i dont know how to fix it 😢😢😢
I’m sure this has been pointed out already, but the original lore of both Elder Scrolls and Fallout were not created by Bethesda. (Which is why they have decent base-lore to build off of.) Bethesda/Emil are not capable of creating the groundwork for an interesting or cohesive world. Starfield was their first actually original I.P. that they made themselves. And it just shows that they don’t have the talent to make these games good anymore.
I’ve enjoyed far more immersive galactic stories and exploration in Stellaris, a grand strategy game.
Early Bethesda games = The Mona Lisa (Hand crafted works of art)
Modern Bethesda games = Generic AI art with 6 fingers, 7 toes, square eyeballs looking in 2 directions, and a 3rd leg. (Lazy slop)
That’s the “difference” that fans and players don’t like. And Emil’s ‘KISS’ philosophy isn’t helping either.
it was the best game to fall asleep to, the intergalactic ambience and loading screens gave me good naps 😌
I have zero faith in TES VI.
The worst part about shattered space is that it’s a requirement for the Star Wars Genesis Wabbajack modlist
Bethesda had a terrible vision for this game, and then they even compromised on that. It’s also on Xbox for putting the game in a “make or break” position for the console. It was never gonna be that type of game. If you’re gonna create a boring, sterile version of space, you really need great characters and gameplay.
meanwhile you have dune awakening losing players too for a different reasons, but it’s salvagable. that’s a better space game and you don’t even get a ship.
I’m waiting for Genesis, a Star Wars overhaul mod, to play the game. I tried vanilla. It just wasn’t that great.
Yes Todd it was different — It was BORING !!!
Which is unforgivable.
NukaWorld ? 🤮
Bethesda is a zombie company
The bones of CP2077 (the narrative, world, etc) was rock-solid, so it was salvageable. The bones of Starfield of made of tissue paper and delusion, so it is unsalvageable.
Specifically, the world is boring, the lore is nonexistent, and above all it’s shackled to a broken, antiquated engine. You can’t shine a turd no matter how hard you scrub.
Starfield was a scam
Everyone said no man’s sky was awful at first and even refunds were made but now look at it. Give starfield a chance. I’ve played over 1000 hours without mods. So I understand how monotonous it is. But it is a work that will be added on. I believe the potential is there for a truly amazing game. So bash it if you want but if they work on it you will be enjoying it in a few years.
Howard should have been run out of the games industry a decade ago. His ideas are outdated and lame. The engine they use absolute ass. The writers have no talent. Bethesda make terrible games.
ES6 is going to be absolute trash.
Big money Big ego’s = 0 fcks
i actually enjoyed this game and now with star wars genesis mod i enjoy the game even more
If you’re going to pay more money to bugthesda after shattered space… I’m sorry but you are the proud owner of a shattered brain.
yawn negativity
Lol, the reason Starfield was so “divisive” was because it was too much like what Bethesda has given us since Skyrim.
They asked for my pronouns and I never gave it a chance after that
it’s literally tod howard’s fault and that’s why bethesda as a whole won’t say starfield was a disaster cuz he’s the big daddy
stop comparing in to 2077, 2077 was a buggy mess, they lied about it being an RPG, but even on release it was a pretty good FPS with a good story, so all they needed to do is to fix bugs, but it mostly worked on the base level. Not even close to the same situation. Starfailed is closer to NMS so it needs to be rebuild from thee ground in pretty much every aspect and obviously it will never happen.
The very first patch they did was to the money/chest/map glitch…but did you give the vendors more currency? No, you have to sell for 80% less and sleep on Mars half your dam game play, plus registering ships for 80% of the sale….while ships and parts cost tens of thousands, never seen a developer crap on their own game more
So they’re still not listening to the players. They can just let it die. There’s no point spending more money on it.
I literally spent $5 on this game when it came out, and only played it for a month at most…
*I haven’t touched it since!*
I fell into the hype and wasted $70 dollars on this game. Paid extra to play it early too and I could not get past how ridiculous space combat was. Turned me off completely with the point allocation system.
If I had to choose between Starfield and ME Andromeda, I would choose Andromeda anytime.
I played starfield for about 18 hours on release and never touched it again lol. I thought it was abandoned by now
The engine and the graphics look good. There just isn’t a lot of engaging content. So disappointing. It should have been Skyrim in Space. Instead we get a tech demo.
Playstation players are lucky they didn’t have to deal with this pile of dog shit
Meh. Shouldn’t have been console exclusive. I don’t have a Xbox so I started off not giving a shit about it to the point I legitimately forgot about it.
Learning from the modding community? Or waiting for the modders to solve problems in a way players like, steal it and apply it in a revenue making model?
Is the most disappointing game of all time
I went back into the game but heavily modded it. To make it a lot better.
Starfield is like a mile long road with 5 minute long red lights every 100 feet and at the end of that road is a desecrated porta-potty
As someone who put 100+ hours into this game.. I’ve played worse games. Many have already pointed out all the problems with this game, so I won’t elaborate on them. However, I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the time I had with this as I had fun RPing a bounty hunter warping from star system to star system hunting down the ones who put a bounty on my head. Once I did everything I wanted to do in the game , I had no reason to come back to the game. I don’t care about the main story. The expansion was genuine trash, and Bethesda is going to need to massively overhaul this game if I’m ever to come back to it. The moment I realized that I only had fun because I made shit up and ignored everything the game wanted me to do and just made up my own story for my character is when I lost all reason to play this game.
Skyrim it is not lol
I got an Xbox just play this game , preordered premium, feel dumb , should’ve just got a ps5
Starfield was the slop that killed bethesda for me. I don’t think I will ever buy another todd howard game.
for 5 mins i throt that ad with the cheack was a boob ad
The fact that they’re *STILL* using the Gamebryo engine is so insanely baffling to me. It’s laughable and until they move on from it, nothing they develop will be any good. Todd Howard has been holding the entire company back since he took over and he and Emil need to go. Unless Zenimax steps in and makes a change, they will continue to just sit in their boring holding pattern, with giant ear plugs in their ears so they never have to hear criticism, until they die of old age.
Bethesda is completely delusional and TES6 will be a disaster.
That’s why the Wayward Realms will be the next “elder scrolls” game not Es6
If anyone wants their money’s worth with Starfield, try the Star Wars Genesis modpack.
Well your one of the blanks, to get a like so you can have that revenue from this post, so I did not click to say yes bud, which probably you like that bud drink, do here my view, y are a wally a Muppet, me level 386, 74 days with 129 mods, I bet if you had Fallout 4 you would blast that game, starfield is my number one game, am 64 years old. Had all the stuff that F4 but it’s in space. YouTube needs a button to dislike your post…
Don’t hold your breath (or pre order) for a good Elder Scrolls 6. Anyway, your Vagus nerve will stop you from passing out.
It’s “tell don’t show” the game
Been gaming on Playstation since the 90’s. There was a time when I was seriously considering buying an Xbox just so I could play Starfield. Had this game gotten good reviews, I likely would have. Bethesda games have always had weird characters and a jenky story, but the world and gameplay loop was fun so it was still enjoyable. FO4 is a such a stupid game, but I still really like it. WHAT were they thinking?
As of speaking they have not fired the writers, right?
dude everybody else already forgot this game exists
This was the reason I bought a Series X, and is now the reason I do my research before making purchases.
To me this game was just a sandbox built for the engine 😂 to see how far they can milk out of it. I really hope the coding team is full time on ES6 and writer team is out the door (sorry but they need to go)
It’s a single player game.
Total B.S. Over 14K are still playing Starfield to this day. The base game is good, the experience is much better with mods. Most of the issues that people had with the game were addressed via mods, but they refuse to acknowledge that. All the hate comes from ignorance and stupidity.
OK look. Starfield is in space, and yet, there are no aliens. WTF Even old games like Mass Effect have aliens in space.
also of course it’ll be a paid DLC cus QoL to a problem they created has to have a price. Starborn DLC won’t be as good as the Dragonborn DLC
I was going to buy starfield just to play the Star Wars mod, but you have to be a coding computer guru to install it, so I’ll skip it all together, game and mod
Well, shit. I never bought it, its free on game pass. The mods make it passable, more bases, more enemies, more weapons, the mods make it better.
Only reason why im playing this is because NMS does not have mods and shipbuliding is simple in Starfield.
I came back after 2 years and with couple mods I love it. Especially with mod called Astrogate that lets you travell freely across systems so you are not limited to fast travel. Now ships feel like much more then just fast travel mules and building them gives me even more joy.
This game has no soul and they missed a great opportunity at the beginning for the drilling girl to say, “Hey you, you’re finally awake.”
It’s a single player game. Seriously why would anyone play it unless there is a DLC. I played it, enjoyed it and finished it then left like pretty much every other player who didn’t find it terrible game. I’m in the 59% I guess.
If youre looking forward to ES6, stop, starfield is what bethesda is capable of
Thats the best what diversity in game developement can give us 😅
South park should parody Bethesda
*Starfield is at best mid af, and I’m being generous!!*
*Shattered space is a joke of a Dlc.*
*They said they’ll not need much in way of update patches, then announced they’ll be doing updates every 6weeks for 18 months!!*
*There’s nothing exciting or worthwhile, and happy to have dodged that bullet!!*
*No confidence or trust in the lying Bugthesda, and not bothering with any future games.*
So a single player game does what a single player game does ?
Y’all boring as hell and THE EXACT DIMWITS STILL GIVING MONEY TO THESE COMPANIES WHILE THEY LAUGH AT YOU, YOU ARENT THE AUDIENCE ANYMORE, ITS WHY THEY MARKET TO THE NORMIE, BECAUSE THE NORMIE IS A MORON, BUT IF YA JUST KEEP GIVING COMPANIES MONEY YOU MIGHT AS WELL CONSIDER YOURSELF ONE TOO, WAKE UP YOU CONSUMER LAP DOGS, AND QUIT BUYIN SHIT YOU DONT ECEN WANT OUT OF FOMO LIKE SOME 12 YEAR OLD
I hyped this game up to anyone that would listen before it came out. Hopped in and did what I do in every Bethesda game, picked a direction and walked. For 45 minutes I saw absolutely nothing, no POI’s, no NPC’s, just empty. I refunded. I hope ES 6 is in UE5, I hope in implements AI for their NPC’s world recognition and interactions with other NPC’s. I’m honestly starting to feel like Skyrim was an accident that Bethesda is incapable of recreating in any form.
Bethesda has had TIME to improve and add more to Starfield… pretty much confirmed to be abandoned! Imagine the effort put into ES6 😂
I’m glad it didnt release on the PS5, saved me the money and the download. So much for making it an Xbox/Microsoft “exclusive” on launch. I’m not buying it for the PS5 when it comes out eventually. Haha.
I have modded almost every bethesda game, but SF is something too strong… it mainly needs a total rework and remake of the entire game, starting on scripting, architecture and enemy overhaul.
The sole idea of putting a finger onto modding this game makes me think “I’d rather make a new game”
Honestly they should just abandon it, take ownership of the mistakes done and focus con TES6. But if they do that, they will be admiting the DEI killed their game and that’s a hard punch to their ego… recognize that hiring not on talent but based in “who this person likes to go bed with” was a horrible idea that sent the company directly to hell.
I feel asleep during game play when I still played it. I lasted 2 days and never played it again.
When you throw up the numbers of players active on popular rpgs I was pleased to see cyberpunk had the best numbers it actually surprised me I enjoyed the game when it first dropped but understood the negativity it got but man that phantom liberty expansion was perfect the way they revamped the perk and skill progression plus the story it was well worth and my favorite rpg… I just hate there isn’t gonna be more content and we are years away from cyberpunk 2
Prefer No Man’s Sky over this game, they did more Les’s the same thing but I least it was it was fun how they did it.
Every single time I hear about Starfield, I can’t help but compare it to No Man’s Sky. Both games met harsh critiscim at launch and both videogame companies promised to improve their games over time. One of them did good on their promise, the other still hasn’t and it’s very unlikely they ever will. That’s what you get when your company is run by a control freak who listens to himself and only to himself.
These developers are all dead, the talent has left and now they hire based on DEI.
I don’t enjoy the game but do enjoy comparing it to bg3 😂
I played like 2 hours of starfield the mechanics were way too confusing n i couldn’t get into its very forgettable
Don’t tell the starfield subreddit. The people over there are very angry at any negativity towards the game.
The moment I step out from tutorial cave, I immediately refund the game.
I’m sorry but they still have clunky gameplay and movement after so many many years since Fallout 4 is just crazy and unnacceptable to me.
If the writing wasn’t done by the Human Resources department then I would have probably put a few hundred hours into this game instead of 25.
It’s insane how there’s still people thinking this game will one day be something, just like the next elder scrolls and fallout games. People are completely delusional these days.
Starfield Eclipse actually made a solid counter point to player count using downloads on the creation store of DLC. It seems that there may be way more players on console than steam, possibly 30-40k.
Did they expect me to actually keep the gamepass subscription?
starborn??? do you have to collect space shouts in the game?????
they should have set teh game at the start of that war not after that war in the lore… so you play out the war pick a faction though the war kinda like skyrim
Let’s all remember this is Todd Howard’s dream game , years spent on this , I don’t think ‘ directors folly’ would be my words in this case.
Piitched too highhigh , targeted at the wrong hardware at launch let face it they could have treated decent playable game tenenneh….avedone m dwma zsmy lr cy erlu , 😢
This game felt like a no mans sky , ripoff. Minus the fun. They should’ve done just 1 massive planet or focused in our solar system. No need to load screen to travel.
The Bethesda that gave us Oblivion, FO3, and Skyrim is long gone. Todd and Co. Really only care about “recurring monetization” in Fallout 76 and paid mods these days, that’spretty obvious. I have zero faith in ES6 at this point.
was not interested enough in drive this buggy…… And i know nearly every stone in fallout 3 and 4 :p
I only play for the mods and the ship building. Base building isn’t even interesting because your playthrough is meant to be wiped and start again.
space combat was fun, but overall it was just boring.
A sci-fi game with superpowers for the main quest and a DLC with ghosts about a religious faction. 😮😢
Even if they fix the _gameplay_ part of Starfield, what are the players going to do? Travel with the obnoxious companions? Look at the same ugly as sin NPCs? Walk on the lifeless cities and planets? Explore the same 20 dungeons over and over? Play the godforsaken story again? Starfield is dead and should stay dead.
As someone who had high hopes for the game and pre-ordered the collector’s edition…yeah, learned my lesson.
Hands down the worst story i ever played!
This is one game mods wont save and if they would have given things the player wanted like no load screens and real stories maybe NPCs that didnt look like the came from Mass Effect Andromeda. I got my money back the minute I saw the space flight and battles and that the space flight was nothing but cut screens. If they would have used loading screens for space travel like in Everspace it would have been a lot more immersive than a black screen.
I stopped playing when it asked for my pronouns 😂😂
Message to Bethesda if tes6 is as bad as starfield CANCEL IT don’t do that to the rep of Skyrim
the problem was the laziness.
the dugeons as you said were just the same thing over am overm it sad that aftwr 3 hours i knew 4 dugeons like the back of my hand
I booted it up recently for the first time in like 6 months to see how it was. I had put 260 hours into it prior. I spent 20 mins finding my base on the map, 30 minutes struggling in the horrible UI to sort and shit. After that the game was so bland and I was like wow this is bad, and then the game crashed right after. Uninstalled. Horrible game. Bethesda has had so long to fix this game and improve it, they’ve done fuck all.
Watch tower??
This guy sucks as a reviewer he got so many things wrong it’s not even funny
If I were to play this game the first mod I would install is the “disable loading screens”, and the second mod would be “disable the 200 progression loading screens in ancient temples”. The third mod I would install is “disable the copy paste of all quest locations”, the fourth mod I would install is “randomise all NPC’s in Quest structures”.
Hell, No man’s sky is always pushing expansions and updates for free and the game has become a great game to play. Expeditions, new ships, can build a ship, scrap ships for parts, explore on your own or follow the story. And its an Indie Dev crew. Still better than starfield. It’s like Todd seen it, said “I can make it better” then messed it up
4:14 his name is Pissil Pugdaddy and he can’t say anything intelligent because he has never been intelligent.
Watched a couple streams and this was a hard pass. Garbage game
bethesda suck😂
I still have no idea how you can fumble a sci-fi RPG so bad, specialy after the mainstream success of Guardian of the Galaxy… Why Starfield is the oppsosite? Why everything is boring, bland, soulesss, uninteresting, from the design, to the stories, to the characters??
I mean at some point you have to question who decided this, who though it would be a good idea to make an entertaining product lame af?
This game gave me litteral depression. No lie, I had low energy, no motivation, stopped cooking and started pulling away from my wife. I was playing thinking that once I unlocked some new features, it would be as fun as Skyrim or Oblivion, but it never came. I stopped playing, and I got my life back.
Do not play!
No matter what Bethesda adds to Starfield, until the AI is fixed It will always be uninteresting in my eyes, maybe I’m just too used to the Fallout 4 and Skyrim AI, the AI in Starfield just seems clunky and non realistic, It seems as though I’m the only one that feels this way as it’s very rarely brought up amongst the other boring things in the game.
I don’t care about Starfield so much I even find it hard to watch your entire 23 minute video about it.
Cyberpunk was a better game even at launch than Starfield is now, and Phantom Liberty (along with numerous updates) has brought it closer to what was advertised pre-launch. That being said, it’s still a disappointment in everything except gameplay because you simply can not redo fundamental components like core gameplay systems and the MAIN PLOT. As self-declared RPGs, that’s where both games fail the most, and not even a mostly talented developer like CDPR could do the impossible, so what chance does Todd and his cult of self-indulgence and fart smelling have?
Starfield was a joke on release. Move on.
Despite all the understandable disdain, I actually love the game, even where it lacks. The shipbuilder system scratches an itch I’ve had since 2013 with games like Minecraft and Spore. Genuinely, it’s not perfect by any means but me and my gf love playing it while the other watches.
Hope Bethesda learns from it’s mistakes and puts further attention to it’s weaknesses, with that said, I appreciate videos like this as it’s more fuel for the passion of good gamemaking.
Peace and love, y’all🙏🏻
Starfield is the first Bethesda game I havent played in 20 years. I have been a huge Fallout and Elder Scrolls fan and have nothing but dissapointment in their direction.
If ES6 ends up like starfield Im done with Bethesda
Bethesda should learn from their live action Fallout show. If you can’t deliver deep writing, at least make it fun
If Starfield came out in 2015 it would be fine, it’s barely a 4/10 for a 2025 game. Standards are much higher these days
Games good with mods lmao Skyrim didn’t have all the great mods on the first day of release
Ah yes, release a bad game to a console with no games. That’d go well for sure
This is what happens when a publisher just wants to make money xD.
A good game needs dedication, love and a sense of wanting to have a solid story.
Just slapping shit together, pre-releasing, to then spend 3 years on getting to the Beta stage (Looking at you No Man Sky)
Gaming has been cooked ever since we started paying for PARTS of a game (cosmetics, dlc, extra areas)
Stop accepting barely functional games with bugs down to the fucking core systems!
So sad a game like this with so much potential, was ruined by Bethesda’s refusal to ditch this outdated engine in favor of a more modern one.
Enjoyed the ship builder part, spent more time doing that than playing the game.
I can’t bring myself to find the storage space to check it out again. It just feels…beige and boring.
Yep, I predicted more people will be playing City of Heroes after 20 years than Starfield in 1 year.
The problem is that the community is the actual free dev team and the Bethesda dev team “learn from the community” while getting paid. Why is this literally the ONLY company that can live off of this ass-backwards, upside down, Jack-ass logic!?
Oblivion was a simplify Morrowind
Skyrim was a simplify oblivion
Starfield is a oversimplified and shallow Skyrim
I wouldn’t mind if Bethesda keeps upgrading this game for years because the longer it goes on, the bwtter it will get. Better than Star Citizen’s development model
Its a photo mode game. Thats most modern games. Take a photo for social media with a huge empty ocean of non-content that is an inch deep.
The Dark Brotherhood Quest of Oblivion or the Thieves Guild quest of Skyrim was the best we got outside of Morrowind.
I bet they are going to remaster Morrowind at some point with voice acting but they will remove the edge that game had.
Shame really because the game did stun me a few times, i remember being on a baron planet somewhere and up above were two huge planets just dominating the sky. But then yeah, it just felt bland to play 90% of the time.
Imagine if they took their time and delivered a high quality game! I mean look at Skyrim, still being modded and played 14 years later, has a huge fan base. Speaking for everyone here who enjoys space exploration, we were wishing for something absolutely spectacular, but they didn’t deliver.
Please don’t come back in a few years and make a video titled: “I Was Wrong.”
The game is amazing, and slowly but surely, everyone will see it.
21:00 that ability to deflect bullets with sword is much more exciting for me the whole starfield footage taken together
Loading screen simulator. Drop that engine of yours Bethesda or you’re in for more flak in the future.
I played the game again in 2025 but the loading screen when moving to other areas, made me didn’t want to continue playing.
With the decreasing quality of Bethesda games following fallout 4, I have no hopes for elder scrolls 6 and will likely skip it until it proves itself
My favorite thing about Starfield is that the abstract on the Steam store page says nothing about the game and instead points to previous games of the developer.
I liked 60% of starfield but too much was promised and missing. Bethesda is a joke of a company
I just started playing the Witcher 3 for the first time. Holy moly it 100 times better than Starfield and I came out so many years ago.
The fact that Besthesda were pouring all their energy into this game as their first new IP in 25 years plus the fact that they can’t seem to recognise that it’s boring has me extremely worried for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. Is the company now like Bioware where all the original creators have left?
If you don’t like it do t ay it. There’s lots of other games out there to play.
The most unbelievable part of Starfield is that …. Tod Howard wanted to make this game for more than 25 years …. And this is/was the best he came up with.. after all that time…. But in the end it shows working with someone else is IP (fallout, elder scrolls) is way easier .. the world building,lore, game loop are already there.. but for Starfield Tod needed to come up with it on his own (BGS) and failed….
What comes out when something runs through a seagull?
Todd Howard is just a modern Peter Molyneux, at least Peter was always seeking advancement he just could never reach it but Todd is a straight up liar.
Shame they make half a game and then leave it to *fans/modders* to fix them and add the content they need. but starfield was just tooooo barebones and boring so they are not bothering.
gave it a go with 50hrs at launch then back when the update hit for 1 minute before I uninstalled was so clunky after playing cyberpunk again.
I’ve played all the Fallout games (except ’76, ignored that) and The Scrolls games multiple times each. Starfield, well, I played it for a week or so when it first came out. Finished it (once) and deleted it. I bought the bundle with the dlc included but I never even knew one had dropped! I doubt I’ll ever play it again.
If you avoid the whole starborn and super powers nonsense its not a bad sci fi, but the POI pool needed to be way bigger as the repeat is beyond frequent. There needed to be more to do in space, which thankfully modders have helped address. The ship design system is fantastic and character creation is nice but more options would be good in terms of traits and careers. I’ve certainly played worse but it does kind of feel abandoned by Bethesda as other than an occasional fix patch there doesn’t seem to be much movement there despite what they say and we are in August of this year already.
There are more people playing fallout 4 and New Vegas than Starfield… Heck even more people are playing Skyrim than this garbage of a game.
Hot take, but I honestly had more fun playing No Man’s Sky on launch day in 2016 than I did in Starfield… Even with its updates
They should also address the bug where there are loading screens. The correct amount of loading screens should be around zero. Also rework the whole universe to have believable sized civilization, cities, settlements, POIs and economy.
I’ve be playing for over 2000 hours, gamers are just spoilt these days.
Bethesda really has to get over Skyrim. Yes it’s their magnum opus but they can’t keep trying to turn every game they make into another Skyrim. Move on Bethesda, that was over a decade ago, and update your engine
Those who said Bethesda will turn this around like Cyberpunk. lol. Cyberpunk was monumental crash but not because foundation was bad, it was technicality. They stuck with it to sharpen the technical aspects, coz good foundation was being overshadowed by bugs. Starfield didn’t have a foundation in the first place, the bugs and loading screens were just icing on the cake
The reason Starfield never gonna overcome it’s failures is because of the company that made it, Bethesda… Cyberpunk 2077 was made by CD Projekt RED, which is a company that actually cares about what gamers want
I stopped playing after I went to a barren planet, found an old rig, and summarily got attacked unprovoked by weird aliens – so I killed them all and went back to my ship.
The Constellation lady yelled at me, told me that I’m an evil person, and she cannot be involved with me in any way.
They modeled emotional women correctly, but wow is it boring.
It’s simple. CREATIVELY BANKRUPT
16:03 release barebones and empty gaming with severe lack of features, sit on their laurels for 2 years, wait for modders to add new features, steal those features outright through TnC or pay pennies to shut them up, add those features in overpriced expansions: the Bethesda business model
Less players than Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Skyrim.
Completely soulless game, nobody cares. Sad.
if you think the next expansion will be free, you must be on drugs. the guys at bgs dont give two shits about naysayers, they only care what their core thinks
Bethesda have the Secret Sauce! Just make a modern game with all the best features of Elder Scrolls and Fallout, The story doesn’t even need to be super great as long as the gameplay is fun. Why is every Developer Tone Deaf? Take what works and Make it better. Don’t Strip out features, Expand upon them.
There is no chance I get hyped agan about any game they make until I see reviews of said game. Their last two games were massive disappointment s
Shattered Space and the Creations Club content needs to be free.
I’m sorry, but most of what quality of life updates and tweaks that are being added, is paid content. Like the Trackers Alliance, it’s a creation club exclusive. Shattered Space, paid DLC that nobody bought. Next DLC will likely be paid too, and it’s just not worth my time to come back to the game if the vanilla experience is the exact same thing because Bethesda refuses to make right by the community and add in more stuff.
I had more fun doing Jury Duty than playing this game and that’s not even a lie. Also why is Shattered space half the price of the base game? That DLC is not even worth $5, let alone $30.
They need to “no man sky” or “cyberpunk” this thing otherwise nice Lil tax right off as a mass loss to them I guess 🤷♂️
21:05 If Bethesda wants to keep building on Starfield and providing QOL improvements for more loyal customers, the ONLY way they’ll succeed is if most of it is free like with No Man’s Sky. But no way does Bethesda/microsoft/zenimax do free, so it will fail. It’s not gonna succeed any way, cos the entire Starfield team and ethos has to change; and that’s not gonna happen. Starfield is over… it may be a slow over, as usual, but it’s over. See the signs… Stop hanging on.
I didn’t hate it, but I certainly didn’t love it.
Bugthesda thrive on producing a half baked unfinished games charge the highest price they can get away with, then sit back and rely on modders to finish them. Lazy and despicable tbh! If any studio deserves to be shut down it Bethesda.
If western developers want to make Asian style gacha/live service games they need to learn to write compelling characters and stories.
The reason Shattered Space addressed basically none of the issues and concerns from the players was because it was content that was removed from the base game to sell back at a later date.
Loading screens, no city maps, and the fact you had to walk everywhere is why I stopped. Maybe played for like 5 hours when it released. Never came back to it.
1) Took a quest on Mars that requires me to go to Neon city;
2) While going outside I stumbled upon a man that I rescued several hours ago. He offered to join my crew.
3) Decided to upgrade my basic starship to increase the crew number. Spent almost an hour.
4) While flying to Neon decided to land a random planet for the first time.
5) On the planet I saw a starship landing a few kilometers away from me. Decided to check it out.
6) It was a pirate’s ship. Decided to steal it.
7) Arrived at the system I needed on the stolen pirates ship. Than I was scanned by a local cops and it happened that there was a smuggling on this ship.
8) I got to Neon city as a criminal.
And that’s how I tried to start making a single side quest.
It’s a Great game!❤
If you know a better adventure game in Space setting let me know, but for me as a story driven game in Space this is the best one nowadays. Even better than that mass effect 2 and 3
Wrong, just kill Starfield and focus on TES 6… or dig a hole instead, anything but waste any more time on this “game”. I got it for free and couldn’t play it for more than an hour or two cause it was excruciatingly boring.
The problem here is there is NO DREAM. Skyrim, FO4 was a dream the creators really wanted to make. They IMAGINED a world in another time and place. With Starfield, there’s literally NO imagination. It’s made by people who can’t think beyond their only little `toxic positivity` world. There is no art, no actual artists with a dream. It’s as clear as day and why it’s DOA on arrival. Todd had no dream and his team had none. Now they just stubbornly refuse to admit they failed due to pride- which leads to a fall. In fact I think Bethesda needs an entire new team with a dream- and without the `woke`.
Starfield Sex Update when? Automatically applies Sex Update and heavy Update to Team Fortress 2
It was a joke when it launched 😂
Played Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, F3, F3NV, F4. Tried Daggerfall and TeS Online. Starfield? I watched 5 minutes of this video and I’m out. This trash is not worth any attention, except maybe to ascertain rising level of greed and dipping level of craftsmanship at Bethesda.
I would completely forget about this game were it not for YouTube critics reminding at least 5 times a week that it exists.
I still play it for one reason, mods. The community is amazing with what they’ve done, ive customisedit to what i want. But over all, i understand the hate, but then i prefer a slower game, and im concerned with the next BGS games. Im not going to defend starfield and Bethesda when the modders are doing a better job.
😂 and people laughed at me pre-release when i said starfield would be a boring bugfest, bugthesda are not very talented at creating multi player games, They still have over inflated egos over skyrim, their servers are antique & unatable. 76 is still a very buggy game with no attempt to fix crash issues or other annoying bugs unless it is an atom shop bug or an exploit that benefits players. Those get fixed real fast. They have become a laughing stock of incompetence.
I forgot I spent $80 on this game.
Didn’t even get the DLC.
Really not looking forward to what MicroTodd sharts out for ES6 or FO5
Given how bethesda’s been behaving for a while, I don’t have basically any hopes for TES6…
2024 Election placed into a videogame…why?? They lost the election. Now they appear in a videogame, accusing you of Wrong Think.
My sister, the year starfield, came out bought me a poster for the game it’s still sitting in the corner, not opened, just a reminder of the one play through I had I don’t remember it being bad but I can’t bring myself to play it again unlike the mass effect trilogy
I got so bored with the tutorial and quit
BGS making something original and failing is hilarious, every one forgot the two big ips are stolen ideas from greater people 😂😂
Every time I feel like giving it another go, I remember how catastrophically boring it was for the 15 hours before I met a gamebreaking bug and uninstalled it. It wasn’t even worth paying nothing for. Bethesda games never are. That game studio fucking sucks and always has.
I still love it.
I Payed the full Price for it😭😭😭🤣
Huh. I just started picking this up again. On kreet trying to 100% survey the planet before getting to jamerson (where constellation lodge is). Made an industrialist and named her Hanako ( tried Hanako Arasaka but was to to rename, but I’ve sinced learned that that might have been because I used a combo of controller and keyboard so I’ll try a rename when i can). I got the game on special and I can’t remember why I stopped playing the first time (i think something involving owlcat released around then that I got sucked into). I’ve added a few mod to populate the emptiness and that makes it a bit more engaging. No idea how well SS plays yet😅
Yet somehow If it were to drop on PlayStation it’ll be top seller like all the other Xbox games put on there were … really can’t take YouTubers seriously
The worst I’ve played from them in years. Enjoying oblivion remastered hahaha
There are just 3 missions that i actually like
one is with the priates and the other is actually during the main quest the final one is ryujin
all three of them i call “Stealth is optional” or just simply “american School Simulator”
in the pirate one you are on this luxury cruiser and their having a party on it with these rich people
the main story one is where you go into the company of the rival of the rich guy
and the ryujin one is where you intern at the enemy faction
in all three of these i lost my patience with the game and just started fireing on the civillians
and it worked
and i loved it!
Crap I can’t even remember any of the chars lmao
I really like it. It is the most realistic universe in gaming since Freelancer probably. The number of people crying about how planets are empty is shocking. How can be anybody this stupid? 😀 And the game itself is no different than their other games. Same kind of missions, same activities, same fetch, same types of characters, building, crafting etc. But i played Bethesda games late so i am not influenced by the nostalgia so i can see it but many obviously cant. Fallout 4 also lost almost all the players. This happens to old SP games.
Skyrim got boring after 20 hours, didn’t finish and never got to DLCs. Same with FO4, and I hated Borrowing Factoid interaction. Bethesda game are trash since the beginning, too many were blind to see it
The ONLY reason anyone even remembers this hole games existance is becuse a bunch of youtubers (both big and small) are revisiting,thats it,i forgot Starfield was even a thing until Guardian HQ made a video on it.
Starfield has always been a joke.
The worse part ?
Sci Fi can absolutely work for a Bethesda game but it needs to be done well, Starfield just isn’t good, the focus on ‘muh realism’ (no sentient alien races, no wacky stuff and only recognizable tech aka ‘nAsapUnK’ ) completely ruins it.
They made a boring AF Sci Fi subgerne, and then made an even more boring game about it.
And this doesn’t even take in to account Emils terrible writing. The guy doesn’t want to write RPG’s he wants to write movies or novels, as long as he’s at the lead Beth is screwed.
I’d like to give the game a try but its not worth £36 (On 40% off sale!) let alone £60. If it was £10-15 I’d be more open to it. If they are charging AAA prices it needs to be AAA quality.
Just my two cents. Starfield is boring. Bethesda isn’t what it used to be. Management arrogance is the problem. Now I’m back to replay Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3. Just finished another Fallout 4 playthrough. I’m not into multiplayer, or I’d be drooling over Battlefield 6. It looks like they fixed it. But I am more than a little concerned about the future of Elder Scrolls and Fallout.
The main idea behind Starfield is good. But the end result is really bad. It is repetitive and empty
You have the advertised 1.000 planets but in the end a single planet could have contained it all. The space travel element is what lengthen the game enormously, and if you aren’t into spaceships and technical stuff it is also becoming really boring.
Imagine Bethesda implemented a lot more manual created content to this world? I mean, everyone was extremely exited, right? We all thought this was huge universe with loads of exploration available.
In general my impression is an unfinished game, a scraped game released in a hurry. The characters a weak, adventures and quests mechanical and thin. Especially the quests felt as if they were content implemented in a rush with no real charm.
I did play 500 hours. But suddenly I realized there wasn’t anything in this game for me. I just sat there wondering why I played?
50 hours is max. hours you can spend on this game before you get bored.
Sack Todd, scrap paid mods and BEG the OG mod authors to come and fix this steaming pile of sh@t…..or just let it die and get on with Fallout 5 using a new staff..
Starfield is forgetable, same with most AAA games and these $300M budget Superhero films of recent. They are bland corporate mass produced slop that is made by marketing people not real creatives.
I like starfield. I played it free. Haven’t played it since but for a free game, it wasn’t too bad. The hype for the game was definitely misleading.
The majority of my time I spent in Starfield was decorating my house, selling raider junk, and customizing my ships.
The actual campaign was a slog.
Starfield: I sleep 😴🛏️💤
Oblivion Remastered: The Graaaaand Champion! 🏆 💪
Still cant believe the entire main quest was 90% fetch quest with an uninspired story trying desperately to hook us into curiosity about some space rocks and the multiverse
Starfield was a colossal disappointment for me honestly. I actually pre-ordered the special edition because for some stupid reason I had faith that Bethesda would deliver a premium experience. I was wrong. This company seems to be set in their ways, not willing to move forward with the times or innovate in any meaningful way like they’ve done in the past. Now they just seem to be resting on the laurels of past glory. I highly doubt Starfield can come back from this. My advice to them would be to move on and actually learn the right lessons from this failure. And for the love of God ditch that damn engine already!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I got the game, I played it, finished a lot in it, then put it down. Didn’t pick it up again until the DLC, which while it was an improvement still suffered from the same issues the main game did and as said within the first 5 minutes of this video.
I don’t hate Starfield, but it is no where near as immersive as playing Fallout or TES games. It is frighteningly repetitive, and even when you think you’ve found something interesting or secret like, it just ends up being something tied to a side quest later on. It is even hard to enjoy the mod scene of the game as it is going through so many patches right now that generally you’ll end up breaking mods left and right with some of them never getting updated simply cause the mod scene didn’t pick up like Fallout or TES games did.
Starfield was Todd’s vanity project to prove he could make a setting as creative as Fallout or Elder Scrolls he’d spent his whole professional career working on and truth is, Todd’s just not that creative a guy, a solid technical lead, sure, bit trigger happy on cutting features and depth, but solid enough, but he’s not creative in the way and his personal gameplay prefernces didn’t gel great with peoples expectation… I remember an interview he said he likes fast travelling, so when he built his own game he centres the experince around that. Its Todd’s game for him
This husk of a game doesnt even compare to Phantom Liberty alone.
That DLC has gotten everything right, the story, acting+voice acting, the soundtrack and the absolutely amazing drama.
I dont care about graphics as much either, Starfield looked fine… i used to play Cyberpunk for like 4 years on my old 1070 with a 4c/4t weak Intel CPU….
I dropped after reaching the first city. I gave it too many chances but all I got was constant nausea due to how the camera works. I noticed they had done this thing in Fallout 4 where there’s a severe lack of camera movement options, and it’s even worse in Starfield.
I played for an hour and then some then asked for a refund!
Bethesda seems to be a one-trick-pony. Or two tricks: Fallout and Elder Scrolls. And that’s it.
Yeah, the one who made that review is pissed😂😂.
I’m still in the esrlier stages and it was good not great, BG3 took my attention so I haven’t returned to ot since then. The news about the game has not been encouraging.
I flew past starfailed in my mercury star runner
I felt ripped off and I played it on Game Pass. A waste of the download time. Utter trash.
Did you know that nonkillable npcs don’t have ragdolls? In Constelation if you shoot someone in the head, the headshot will ALWAYS push his head back. Even if you are shooting from behind or from left/right side, his head will always throw back like you’re shooting in front of him. That’s not how we do games in 2020s. What a lame joke.
Sci-fi is a fine setting, but the terrible gameplay loop coupled with the horrible writing just destroyed Starfield.
Can you fly your ship to a planet, nope.
How about 3 loading screens instead.
4 if you want to exit your “ship”.
Apparently, they gonna relaes it on ps5 in 2026 with a new update. After its x box release and all the videos that followed. I won’t even buy a second – or 3rd hand version. I wouldn’t even buy it if it were 1penny
Just 2025? Starfield was a joke from the very start.
The capital of the Texas-Spacefaction is a joke. After so many years it should be a brimming metropolis, not a backwater Western-town. And a Cyberpunkcity. Called. “Neon” – Just peak worldbuilding.
Years ago. I built a PC strictly for Oblivion. I spent a fair amount of money for it. I played it for awhile. Saw that it was a nerfed Morrowind. I played it for two hours, stopped. I played Fallout 3. Played it for about 10 hours waiting for it to be decent. Stopped. Bought Skyrim, with my son at a midnight release, and just got the Steam achievements. Haven’t touched in in over 13 years. I beat Fallout 4 considering I bought it. Haven’t played it since. None of the DLC. I just noticed about 5 years ago. I have never liked a Bethesda game. Outside of one.
They were *really* banking on modders to unfuck another title lmao
Bethesda, for the love of god, just cut your losses and put every single one of the core team to work on TES6. I get that Starfield is a prestige project where you could show off your creative and visionary brilliance, Tod. But, I’m sorry. Greater minds than yours made Bethesda what it is today. Skyrim might have been the peak as far as success goes. But, that road toward success was paved long ago by true greats in the industry that has now all but been forgotten.
To be fair, No Man’s Sky, Final Fantasy 14, and Cyberpunk 2077 all had disastrous launches that after major changes became what they are today.
Starfield *could* pull it off, but it’d require ALOT of effort and rethought.
Who? Not sure i want to waste 23min on trasg has NEVER been game.
Bethesda writing is the worst. Anime levels of exposition, and the most predictable and cringeworthy gotchas that make you feel like you’re playing the world’s dumbest character. Plots that make Saturday morning cartoons seem like Lovecraftian intrigues. And a complete misreading of an inherited IP, Fallout, and turning something somber, morose, bleak, black humor with a drop of campiness and turning it into a jovial romp filled with happy music while you blast away with laser beams from alien ships.
And yet, the world builders, when given freedom to, can do the most amazing visual story telling I’ve seen. I remember FO3 mostly for the random radio signal makeshift bomb shelters you could find. The churches of downtown Boston and Southie.
I love and hate Bethesda.
Sarah Morgan…. The WAR CRIMINAL that Bethesda wants you to give excuses to and smooth over because they don’t want a Woman being made to feel bad…. after committing litteral war crimes …. I do believe that “The Wokeness” killed this game’s narrative. It forced them to make a perfect world fit for everybody. But that made it so that had absolutely no space to accuse anyone of anything. Unless ofc they are white males. And I hate that this game makes me feel like this is the case every time I play it…..
Why explore the random? Seems so pointless
First game I regret pre-ordering, based on trust on Bethesda track record. No more pre-orders.
Had you done just a little bit of research in stead of staring at steam numbers, or asking chat gpt what to rant about today. You would have seen that within the Xbox ecosystem the game sees between 40k and 80k daily users. You only have to look at creations usage numbers and you had known. That leaves out to guess the amount of vanilla players. Once you made decent videos. The amount of slop you and a lot of others make for “content” and clicks these days is going to play a uno reverse on you one day.. Just like it dd with legacy media. There is hardly any difference anymore.
What I don’t get is how you go from Morrowind to this?
It’s not “learning” from modders. The word is “stealing” ideas
I think Starfield needs a huge comeback, more then ever. Because if this kind of game it is now, is what we have to look forward to with Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6… things are not gonna go well. If they want to support the game for years to come, it’s gonna need like a Cyberpunk level of redemption. But I’ll believe it when I see it.
I have nothing to expect from Bethesda.
Thats why I just stoped updates to play starwars overhaul mod shortly before.
Starfield? Huh… I thought I played Spaceshipbuilder Simulator for over 300 hours. Dropped it after that, because everytime you finished fiddling around with a Shipdesign it was all Loading screen over loading screen over loading screen…
Seriously thouggh… There is nothing to remember from this game to begin with. Bleack writing, bleak worlds, no exploration.
Except the timelineswitchmission. Clearly an intern smuggling his fresh ideas into the game, can’t explain this any other way…
The sad truth is that I got Starfield for free, with the purchase of a GPU for a PC that I was building at the time, and a thought I had, while playing, was “I wish I could refund this… Oh, wait, I got it for free…”
They can say what they will, but the reason why they created this new IP must be that they were doing an experiment to see what they can and cannot get away with.
Without **truly** jeopardizing either of their two big franchises, they piggyback off of old- and drum up new hype for an entirely new IP. To make it act as sort of equal to their other two franchises.
If not for Starfield, this is probably exactly what you could’ve expected from TES 6. Probably still is.
over 400 h . i like starfield
the only thing I remember about SF are the videos about the banned mods, the mods that make the female characters attractive. And that there is a quest where you get coffee for a female leader. And that 98% of all leaders in this game are female and they all have fetch quests for you.
No its great 😊
Do not pre-order TES VI folks
First game I Refunded on Steam.
Just waiting on The Wayward Realms. I know what to expect from Bethesda now, and they expect their modding community to pull way too much weight for a team that has no passion, no vision, no talent, no art. Starfield has no right to exist, and neither does Bethesda.
Oh, right. This game exist. I made a smart choice in not buying it.
I have well over 500hours in this game, there is plenty to do and explore. People should just actually play the game and at least finish the main story before calling the game boring or bland. Sure the game could be better but it does not deserve the negative feedback especially by people who only played 5 minuets and then drop a negative review.
Fixing loading and bugs will not make this a good game. If Starfield launched with no bugs or loading screens it still would have sucked. The story, and overarching lore needs a complete rework, and let’s be real, even if Bethesda wasn’t too lazy to put in the work to fix the game, they simply don’t have the talent.
I’m calling it, they’re releasing one more DLC then they’ll drop a “special edition” packed with Creation Club content to fix what they were too lazy, unimaginative, and stubborn (Todd & Emil) to add.
If you actually bought this game then you deserved to be scammed. It’s made by the same company who made fallout 76 you really think they’re gonna make a real game when they know people like you guys keep buying.
They need to add a better story, make maps interesting and make the perks better because even progression is dull and boring. Not being able to hack or stealth attack without perks is stupid, they should be basic skills that have progression trees of their own like other Bethesda games.
Geez, dude… Still talking about this game? Just let it die already.
Agree with your points. Game is just plain boring
Last played almost two years ago
I knew Bethesda was cooked after Skyrim, Fallout 4 was a joke of a game and that shall be their future repeated.
So, there is no story in a game that is about following structured missions to find artifacts and discover who the Starborn are and why they are in the galaxy? That 20-hour story doesn’t exist. Interesting, last I checked that was very much in the game. Building a star ship for no reason? So, needing a ship to jump to different systems in order to complete missions, which is impossible to do without a ship, that isn’t a reason to build a ship? Interesting, last I checked a ship was mandatory for playing the playing. Building one is not, but having a ship is. There is no purpose to scanning. So, tagging resources to build a base is not a reason to scan?? Interesting, last I checked, that was exactly the reason why the scanning was there. Sounds to me, like SOMEONE never even played Starfield, thus the opinion is objectively and factually VOID.
Skyrim/Fallout fanboys are the worst.
A friendly reminder people are still hyped for TESVI…..
Shattered Space was OBVIOUSLY launch content that was held back so they could sell it to us later.
Ship building was mostly OK.
Simply creating more POIs would immensly help the game!
I hate that i love the game because everyone hates it so much and then hates me for liking jt 😅
Remember prerelease when people were acting like this was gonna be some genre defining experience? Lmfao
The most disappointing thing about Starfield is NO ALIEN RACES… all those stars and planets and no sentient alien life like… just smfh… ALL humans all the time…
TLDW: Starfailed was a joke before it came out, upon release in 2023, last year with the expansion, this year, and all the years to come! That is all…
The best indicator that the game is dead is that neither Bethesda fanboy creators nor modders care about it anymore. Bethesda has some of the most loyal players and modders and they managed to turn them against themselves. Meanwhile all those people still to this day enjoy their older titles. The last half decent game they put out was FO67 and even that was a real mess at the start and they handled the problems with that game insanely bad. So one could argue their last good game was FO4. Maybe they should just throw in the towel and I see a chance for Microsoft to axe the studio if ES6 won’t turn out well. Let’s just hope it won’t run on the creation engine too considering it’s realistically way to old to be still in use
I got Starfield for free with a graphics card. I never bothered to redeem the code.
wel the game is almost 2 years old,how manny other single player games stil have allot of players reaching the 2 year mark?
usualy there is only an uptik when a dlc releases.
and also there are allot of other fun games to play that doesnt mean starfield isnt fun.
“unknown fauna you can scan for no reason” lol thats exacly what a scanner is for…..with that lv of IQ why should i listen to you,am am just making abit of fun yet at the same time i do have a point.
there is no main story? uuum ya there is the game cant help it that you dont understand it,there searching for artifacts and when brought together they can jump into the multiverse and at the center of it you meet god that has youre face meaning god is part of you and you part of god,but shure there is no story…..
i stil play the game to this day,atm am abit bussy with other games but i return ones in a whole and the mods also add allot.
todd hasnt owned up to annything,owned upto what? he created a pretty good game,yes it has less aspects but overall its pretty good and ya the first expansion was abit meh but through the creation club they do have some good extra content.
why do you want todd to own up because you dont like something,thats more a you probem,and steam charts only is not an accurate representation because the game is played on more platforms.
you got mods for allot extra fun weapons extra companions even romancable companins that you normaly cant romance.
Back i played Starfield , i was using the play anywhere feature. I HAD a file being played across both my Series X and my laptop. At some point my CLOUD save corrupted. I haven’t played the game since. The Starborn had made his move and some of the cast were killed off.
Having the gall to release a paid DLC when the base game is still shit shows how little they care to fix it. The only way this could have ended well is if they went the No Man’s Sky route by releasing big free updates slowly fixing the game. It’s not like they lack the funds
People wanted TES VI. No one cared about this.
Xbox needs to step in and fire Todd howard
Cyberpunk 2077 without the redemption arc
What’s also nuts, is there is at bare minimum: 30000+ modded fallout 4 players playing daily on the previous gen release, by preference too. Speaks loud and clear but Todd wont listen…
I mean there’s a lot of good games to play now, no one’s gunna waste their time on something like starfield
It’s sad, this represents 10+ years work, their great hope. The Bethesda that people loved is long gone. Those that remain (like Todd & Emil are part of the problem). I cant see how MS can turn it around tbh ‘the brand’ is all they have to start with.
Many of the projects they shut down and people they fired were unionized or trying to unionize. They’re just anti-worker, because they’re making record profits.
Games are for gays
To this day, Starfield is the only game I’ve fallen asleep to midday due to boredom
I think they focused on realism with starfield instead of fantasy. Instead of giving us aliens, 4 planets, and big bug boss to fight, we got USA in different states, just on another planet and just copy and paste planets that are empty. Why even do this?
It was a joke when it launched, why now would be any different?
This game is bad. No fun at all. 17 Characters (This game is bad). Noting more or less. Stop the discussion. Let the horse die.
And they still ask for 70 USD/Euro for the base game (and 30 for the shitty expansion). Ridiculous! Todd “The Liar” Howard is killing Bethesda with his shitty games.
90% of Skyrim these days is just modders creating AI waifus. It’s kind of funny lol
Starfield was a great concept, the biggest issue I had was the way Bethesda sterilized the combat. No gore, I could just play for hours just going from planet to planet Massacring creatures, but nooooooooo no fallout gore barely any blood, no dismemberment. BORING
This came out at the exact same time as BG3, what an embarrassment for Bethesda. Getting totally spanked by a tiny aa studio.
Anyone who preorders Elder Scrolls 6 after this trash fire is an idiot
Fraud Howard
Literally the only Bethesda Game Studios game I’ve ever uninstalled. It stings extra bad because I was one of the people following the game since someone discovered the trademark…
Heh, at least I’m part of the 1% somewhere. 😛
Mid + Cringe = Failure.
I have Starfield on my Steam wishlist. I’m waiting for it to hit under €9. For me, I won’t be playing it for the vanilla experience. I just want to try the mods and full-replacement overhauls that turn it into a different game.
I was hoping for modders to save this game, to use those empty planets and fill up this game with amazing locations and stories. Maybe that’s what they were hoping also.
I still play Skyrim because I am an item guy. Love finding the mace of windu in the tomb of the high council because it was specifically placed there and it had cool flavor text and lore for it. Don’t get me wrong, I love finding star field gear, but finding the RNG ridden loot can only be so fun for so long…. and having to go through so many loading screens really bogs it down even more
Bethesda is incompetent in creating fun games.
Also they outsourced their dlcs to modders.
I do not expect them to make anything I am interested in. I do not believe they will make a great elder scrolls but a big disappointment.
I still haven’t even played Shattered Space and don’t plan on it anytime soon. I’ll return to the game eventually. When there’s no more DLCs coming and if the modding community sticks with it (not holding my breath).
All I want is TES6.
So graphics over gameplay again ?? or is graphics the gameplay they sold , so its unsalveble ,instand space travel are called teleporting and by then they can have portals for this and skip the ships
Its been years and i still wish i could get a refund.
I am BGS target audience. Elder Scrolls is my favorite franchise with fallout being in the top 5. I spent 100 game hours in Starfield. Became utterly bored with the load screen, inventory management simulator with a bossy girl boss at every turn. Uninstalled it, installed and modded Skyrim to play the type of game I want and enjoy.
Starfield’s base game is just not a fun game. No DLC or updates can change that.
Cyberpunk 2047, Witcher 3, RDR2 and Skyrim were great games at its base that kept them playing to this day.
Skyrim has an enjoyable and beloved vanilla game, before mods and DLC. Starfield is not Skyrim.
So, it took a lot, a LOT of work, and I probably can’t recommend it to anyone outside of a specific mod list, but I’m at a very good place with starfield. I’m hoping that the next update elevates it a bit, and I’ll be happy. I always laugh at Todd’s comment, “finding the fun in starfield.” LOL it’s there I think but it takes too much effort
I still remember hearing it’s announcement and literally groaning because “WHY? I want Elder Scrolls not another stupid space game” and that feeling hasn’t changed. Literally every video I’ve seen looks middle of the road at best and “Why’d they do that!?” at worst, even modders couldn’t be bothered. How bad do you have to screw up that even modders go “Yeah naw this is too scuffed I’m going back to fallout/skyrim”.
edit: I forgot they want $70 normally and $99 for the “Premium” version, even on sale at $41 and $59 it’s overpriced… maybe half that and I’d try it but even then I might feel ripped off. I don’t think I’ll ever buy this game and I hope Bethesda learns some hard lessons from it or ES6 is doomed and if that fails they might as well just shut down the company.
To me this should had some kind of voxel technology, i want to destroy rocks, trees, i want to fly my ship manually to the city, i want dialogues with AI. I am pretty tired of hearing the same dialogues, its like a dead game, i just need one rpg like that. I would like to personalize my ship until the last detail, im not talking only about modules.
Man, in the kind of guy who likes Space Engineers and you could clearly look these kind of games for what an space game should be, it needs to be big yes, but i need variety and a sandbox, i want to feel the game itself, be immersed and, i dont know, it could had an history with cutscenes like GTA ones, fine, but i want to feel immersed, not old school empty rpg where there is no role or immersion, you have a universe but you cannot change anything, its horrible.
Imagine, i dont know, something genie 3 or better simulating a universe wich a rich story, but, you see, to me, the problem is the Nasa Punk stetic, why todays spaship stetic? Its like seeing something that is not special, if you are going to create a futuristic lore make something different and unique, i remember that games with mechs that looks like 40k where you have cain as a god, i dont remember, cyberpunk too, the phantasy star games, gimme something futuristic, even star wars look cool in terms of ships, troops, but this game starfield is like a modern approach of ships and technology and men, the bigger city its a shame, i want a crowded capital or multiple cities like qanga. I dont like to see the limits of the engine because its fucking boring having to fight the same 20 guys, if im lucky, why i have weapons if im gonna face 20 guys??! Just give me an army to face.
I can agree with most of this but i still play this game even to this day its not that bad and you can have fun with the game if you try.
I always love to watch starfield is bad content. Not because I hate starfield. I love starfield. It brings me so much entertainment. No I love watching these videos because its so amazingly bad and poorly constructed that Everybody can make a video about how bad it is. And have at least some original content in there and have good points that aren’t just slop.
It’s such a fascinating case study that I can’t get enough of people talking about it and all the tings I never noticed. I never bought the game. But I did play it a bit. Just to try it out. It was so amazingly bad and poorly thought out at every staep of the way. It’s amazing how they took things they already did in fallout 4. And then made a lot of the systems again. But as if it was the first time and they had no idea what they were doing. This is what happens when you don’t communicate, don’t have design docs, and dont retain employees. You have a couple heads who know what a bethesda game “is” trying to telephone it to an overbloated, mostly new ish team who doesn’t understand how to work with the technical debt nightmare fuel that is bethesda’s gamebryo engine through its evolution. It’s just good content all around for me. I love starfield. It’s amazing. It’s the best game for content creators to practice writing critiques on. Because its so easy to find things that are just so obviously terrible. It lets them really express their style. Thank you so much bethesda. at this point I only genuinely hope TES VI is like that. And this is from a guy who started playing elder scrolls games in 2008. I have no hope of anything that I would be interested in playing. But hey. If you make something I can watch people try to describe in shock and fascination. I’m all for it.
Oh thats more “Starfield bad” slop on my timeline
Honestly, at this point, there is one way they can get this game back into at least popular enough to make things for it to profit. They just have to release the game completely and totally 100% free for anyone to download no questions asked, Give everyone the equivalent amount of the games value in creation credits, Every currently free creation stays free, And unless they’re gonna add more free creations, they don’t touch the game for a while.
Doing this means more people will come to the game because now it’s free. There’ll be a lot more lenient on it because it’s free The people who liked it, enough to play it but not enough to pay for it are willing to continue to come back and make mods and do stuff and videos for it.
The people who didn’t like it have credit that they can spend for any of the other games with the creation club. Those that do like it can spend points in the creation club four star field which will allow them to play for longer without running out of stuff to do. And because of all the free ones, they’re getting a bunch of stuff right there off the bat. They can try out.
And because they’re leaving the game alone and not updating it, they’re janky code that’s about as well put together as a patchwork noodle Isn’t requiring motors to overhaul their mods every two weeks, allowing them to get a nice baked-in form of their code, a fan base, and Popularity for the game.
I genuinely think that is the only way they are going to revitalize this game. That and an option to skip the minigame in the temples. That’s just not needed after the first time.
There was nothing there from the beginning and don´t even make me talk about the performance.
every day my hope for FO5 not being garbage grows smaller.
I’ve said for years, what is Tesla going to do once BMW or Ford or Volkswagen decide to lean into electric cars? They’ve got 100 years experience on all the things that matter – steering, suspension, have you ever sat in a Volvo?
Bethesda decides they’re making a space game? Against series like X and Elite? Sit down Todd.
Starfield is trash. But I think why people (myself included) hate it even more is because the time wasted on this shite could have been used on ES6 or FO5. Not that those games would have been better, but we all wanted to find out.
The only reason i remember starfield is because my ship is awesome and its called “the big ape”. Otherwise i havent touched it since launch.
I turned it off when I kept going to worlds with supposedly no human life on them and and seeing humans laboratories on them and humans settlements, and also landing on Venus ( yea complete BS ) and seeing a barbecue grill outside and also seeing a shop selling souvenirs. Plus neon was a complete joke 😂 just throw whole game away man
I want to like it, but it’s just the same thing over and over and over and over again…
Just think about the fact that they postponed FO5 ten years for this slop.
This was supposed to be fallout 5 😂
Another thing about the land vehicles, with procedural generated planets, your just in one small self-contained zone and the speed of the vehicles show how small those zones actually are, when you get to a location in a minute.
I hope that Bethesda drops the Starfield possible franchise completely. On the face of sacrificing what they know, they spent too long on a game and formula that they weren’t prepared for.
Starfield is severely lacking in replayability and it could be argued it even lacks Playability
If a game not even worth pirating, that game is fckd.
Wow, I was so glad I played this on Gamepass in the beginning. It got so boring, so quick 😂
“Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt”. Well, our entertainment is leaving us, and our food is just chemicals.
Bethesda, Bethesda never changes, lol. I remember before this came out saying people should not get hyped and wait for it to release, in response I got torn apart by the sad little Bugthesda fanboys, well who laughing now suckers. Sad thing is when ES6 gets near release the same thing will happen again, morons will listen to that lying fool Todd Howard, start foaming at the mouth, pre-order and then will be disappointed with yet more broken, buggy trash. At least it will be good for a laugh seeing these fools get conned again and cope so hard.
0:00 to 0:51 Exactly my thoughts! For me the illusion started breaking the moment Sarah told me that she and some of her friends were in a rock band during high school. Me being more immersed in the game than the people who made it I said: you mean that 300+ years old music genre from dead earth?
I still feel that Blood Moon was worse.
It’s frustrating, there’s a solid idea behind Starfield. Realish space travel, space pirates, finding alien artifacts, etc. But the execution is so lacking, almost amateur. I barely remember that space ranger quest where you have to sneak past traps. That was interesting, but I don’t recall the character’s name. Planet with drug fish and people dancing in funny bodysuit. There are nuggets there, few and far. Some might say it needed time to cook, bit it feels like there was egg shells and clumps of flour still in the mixture.
Give us VR edition, Id buy it. Ofc , id need a game changing mod overhaul……..
99% of players have completely missed one of the coolest parts about this game because they see a barren landscape and think there’s nothing to see. Their loss
Yes there’s mixed reviews on starfield, but you’re completely wrong that 99% of players quit playing. The two biggest player bases are on Xbox and players on PC that aren’t on steam, Bethesda has almost fixed all bug’s and mods are helping to keep the game alive. Your research needs more research bro!
Forgot this game exists 🤣🤣
**Star Wars Genesis enters the chat**
O no someone mad I don’t like that game but I will keep talking about waaaaaaa
Fallout 4 was a sign. Bethesda has been on a downward spiral for 9 years
Starfield is proof that Bethesda can’t make new or original stories. Fallout and Elder Scrolls have decades of good ideas made by other people they can slowly water down or rely on monetizing mods so they don’t have to work for their profits, but there’s nothing in Starfield to reduce. Its a void of fun that Bethesda abandons for years at a time to only get ONE REAL EXPANSION. Imagine if Skyrim only got one content injection and it was just Hearthfire for $50. No hint at Dawnguard or anything else. Just here’s a single house you can buy and its your fault for not purchasing it enough for us to bother with anything else. The Dragons Still fly Backwards, you have to load 10 minutes exit a building and the Civil War happened 40 years before you were imprisoned so there’s no Stormcloak/Imperial conflict to spice the narrative.
Now collect the same shout 1000 times between 10 playthroughs because the game’s a skinnerbox than a RPG.
Do not think about, until someone talks about it, and then it makes me mad.
Played this on gamepass on release, spent 100+ hrs on it to gauge if its really as bad as people say it was.. it is and worse.
I did enjoy the shipbuilding but outside that- exploring, combat, story quests, everything felt so shallow and oddly ai-generated in terms of dialogue.
outer worlds is awsome
I still play this game until today, it took me over 10 hours per day playing this game. To me the game is better than death stranding.
LEARNING FROM THE MODDING COMMUNITY?!?!!? R U serious? U mean STEALING!! Wait watch Copy Paste! thats all they can do cus they have 0 imagination! Shoulda stuck with ES & Fallout & left space to No Man’s Sky! but nnnNNOOOOOO. had to own it all didn’t ya todd.?
I thinks its just a marketing scheme. Make people think good content is comming in hopes they don’t abandon so their overlords don’t get upset. Simple as that
The outer space game where u get deeper in space and just find more humans 😢
Regret buying never play it anymore
And there are dumbazz who excited for next elder scrolls when they should wondering will it be even more dogsht than starfield 😂
6:37 wow more people playing BF4 13 years later than are playing starfield
If Starfield has taught me anything it is that I am going to wait until newer Bethesda games are feature and DLC complete before I even consider buying another one of their games. Much of the content is bland, the worlds bland, quests bland and just isnt fun for long periods of time. I do play it and I like the idea of the game, just not the execution of the game.
What drew me to the Xbox one x was Dust 2, and that Dragon game about 10 years ago, and guess what. They were both canceled. After that I probably played about 6 games throughout the lifespan of that console.
Starfield player count looks like a meme coin rugpull
*was always*
The main thing that kept me away from Starfield was the fact that they took the “realistic” approach to space too seriously. Look, I get that irl, if you were to go to space and land on a planet, there’s like, nothing on it besides dirt and rock, like there won’t be any towns, cities, dungeons, forts, or strongholds to explore like in an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the fun of it. I would have prefer if these planets had more life and civilization in them, similar to Mass Effect. During Todd’s presentation when he said there’s over 1000 planets you can go to, it’s like on one hand, very cool, but really, if there’s not that much to do on these planets when you travel, what’s the point? That, and the fact that the space travel in your ship is pretty underwhelming. That’s why I’ll still play Oblivion to this day, because throughout the open world, there’s always something to find and explore and interact with, even if it’s not this giant space game, and Starfield sacrificing that kind of made the entire experience very hollow…
I still play the game because I enjoy.
Oh how the mediorce have fallen.
Yeah the game is mega garbage
They can add as many dlcs they want, the story/gameplay and characters still suck
The only reason I remembered this game existed is because I got it mixed up with stellaris one time
NOTHING interesting? I mean. What?
Cyberpnuk is such a great showcase of how to fix a huge fuck up. Honestly not only Bethesda should take notes.
its ok! now u can play MaHAfia 4! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! what a joke gaming is now. SO pathetic! what happened?
I enjoyed the game, played it through 3 times. I am planning on picking it up again, soon. I will grant it had/has a few annoying quirks, and some of the complaints about it are valid, such as limited POI’s. But overall the game was very good, imho.
Aggressively mediocre, one of the games of all time
Buffesda is so dead to me. Icing on the cake for me is that they want to get their grubby hands on things they contributed nothing to and make money off of them. 300 credits for a mod that somebody else created…. pffff. Don’t they get what this looks like to the outside?! That and the fact they went MMO with the last fallout title…. So many bad decisions.
I had FO4 on my wishlist for quite long time but never bought it even for 5 bucks just to not give those slimy greasegrubbers any money. Finally removed it from the list. Bye Bethesda, you were something good at some point.
More ship storage so I can go out capture more ships to sell with empty ship storage inventory while out n about.
Cruise mode thingy yes please or being able to capture those dreadnought and actually use them!?! again yes please. Orbital strikes mobile base storage and have your main battle ship docked. More crew to hire more reason to mine sell n trade to pay for the crew n stuff missions yes please
This is going to continue to happen with Bethesda games until the media and content creators at large stop giving Todd Howard a criticism-and-pushback-free platform to lie his ass off with every new release. Dude lies to ya’ll with NO FEAR. On top of that, consumers gotta stop getting hyped when it’s been repeatedly proven that you will be lied to and taken for granted.
Todd has no idea what he’s doing lol, Fallout 76, Starfield! I don’t think he’s actually played them. He’s just there to appear and pick his paycheck up and walk straight back out. “I endorse this!” leaves.
Starfield is a fake game.
By Guardian HQ
It has too many loading screens for me to care for it anymore. Yes I did playthrough the Main Story, it was meh.
I pre-ordered it and paid full price 😢
A little harsh no?
I played it for a while when it came out and honestly he had potential to be amazing but its was boring as all hell 😮
they just can’t make games any more. I am honestly not even interested in their future games.
And somehow this game vot less hate than cyberpunk 2077 for some reason (i’d rather play release cyberpunk on a ps4 than this joke of a game on next year’s nasa computer).
I expected this Game to be Fallout 4 in space. I got exactly what I expected. I really like it. I kinda get why people didnt like it but I will always see it as they are overreacting A LOT.
Starfield is Mindseye with worse graphics..
The gunplay and shipbuilding is good and the atmosphere (no pun intended) on some of the planets is quite zen, but everything else about the game is poor and the characters are just awful.
It’s a joke in front of Oblivion and remake.
no1curr
The actual stupidity is that their management misread their fanbase again and worse they pissed them off and insulted their intelligence by pretending Starfield was ground breaking and new but it was just a polished fallout with a new skin and so much obvious repetition you don’t want to go back because you know you’re not going to find anything new very lazy storytelling and programming I guess they saved a few bucks on a flop.
dom lever i lollo land
I hate the fact that I was out of the refund time period. It took me a week to wake up and realize this game is boring trash.
Todds magnum opus
I really like Starfield, and just have been playing other stuff but definately at some point will come back, redo my whole load order, and dump like 100 more hours into it before I move onto something else for a bit. Right now my current obsession is Cyberpunk, but I haven’t “quit” the game I just take breaks and come back to it at a later date. 😅
I played multiple indie games that have a better gameplay loop than Starfield. Bethesda needs to hire the people that are making these games instead of their DEI stable of idiots.
Starfield was the most bland RPG I’ve ever played. It objectively isn’t a bad game in terms of mechanics, gameplay, ideas, looks etc. but all of it more or less depends on your own imagination and what you kind of decide the world to be.The lore is bland and is abstractly “space” and there are no consequences for any main quests.
Sodom slop
Idk man I enjoy the game
Star field 2025: stability update
Cyberpunk 5 years post launch: heres 4 new vehicles, 2 new quests, more features in photo mode and 3D immersive audio…for free
Oh yeah Starfield, I loved the ship builder (played it on game pass for free for a month)..
Hey Hello games make a ship builder like this game, custom freighters would be awesome and more capital ship battles would be cool.
Boring game, nothing to explore, or do or see. They thought they could release a poopoo game with nothing in it and have modders fix it. But modders weren’t interested in polishing a turd.
Snorefield
Starflop
Could’ve led up to a new galactic war, feel like everything is leading up to something major but It never happens. Could’ve been a great space new vegas if they had more ambitions.
This game reeks. Just take it behind the barn and end it. Move on.
I’m still convinced that Starfield’s monumental failure led to Xbox/Microsoft releasing games on the PlayStation. If it had been a good enough game to sell consoles, I believe they would have held on to exclusivity of their games longer than they did.
i mean depending on what they add to the star born… like abilitys, and some f**king way to actually level your mana pool… (maybe make it lean more into a skyrim leveling system) that would be really cool… and maybe give us a dungeon to do to unlock new abilitys rather then the f**king super man 64 go into loops gameplay… ALSO F**KING CAMPAION PERKS, AND GORE!!???!! FFS BATHESDA!!!!
Star Wars Genesis looks great, i’m in
Maybe they should abandon it until waayyy after they release the best possible ES 6. All focus should be on the next ES. All hands on ES, even the freaking janitor!
So they are working hard and can’t wait for the content that’s coming in 2025 but it’s August already and nothing has been announced? My money is on nothing is going to be released this year. Garbage game and garbage company…
I don’t Care I like Starfield. But then again I only have 1300 hours .
i’m mad that i bought this
This is because triple A companies embraced bs DEI policies, got rid of their original creative geniuses, and hired losers with no creativity.
I can live with all the bethesda jank with the engine and all that, loading screens, whatever. But the story is so bland and the characters suck. Like, when they send you to crimson fleet, that story had huge possibilities. Imagine if smuggling was worthwhile, building ships to shield your ill-gotten gains actually meant something and you could make crazy money moving illegal goods. What if as you turn in evidence they get more and more suspicious of newcomers as SysDef takes down important pirates. Make it mean something, what the hell.
I loathe Bethesda’s insistence on using and reusing the Chosen One trope.
This is why I view the upcoming TESVI with dread. If this is what BGS is delivering with a new IP, free from the complexities of a franchise with so much established lore (and all the fan expectations that come with it), I can’t picture Bethesda NOT screwing up TESVI. And because I have so much nostalgia for that series, the disappointment is going to be epic.
It’s going to be like the video game equivalent of The last Jedi. Probably….I hope I’m wrong, but nothing Iveseen or heard indicates otherwise.
I only play starfeild with the star wars genesis modlist active 😂😂 literally the only reason to play the game
Starfield hmm let me think for a bit here. Yes I played it and totally forgot about it until I watched this video. Have not followed any of the development of the game at all and did not even know it was still worked on. Will I give it another chance. Big nope, zero chance that is happening.
What’s crazy is how Stafield feels like it came before Skyrim (the original release, not whatever re-re-re-release they do after this comment)
We’re to blame for the expectations they promoted? lol Skyrim in space? They had more “big” cities in Skyrim, just one area of a continent on 1 planet. If this is the future of humanity I want no part of it. This was the worst game I’ve played in years and the initial review of the game that you read is 100% accurate. It’s a stupid open “galaxy” game with nothing in it. To say it’s 1″ deep and a mile wide is hyperbole, more like a millimeter deep and 10 miles wide.
I trued to restart i again a few weeks back and about 3hrs in I just gave up. Boring is it exactly everything about it is just meh
Starfield was always a joke 🤷♂️ there are a total of 10 people that saw it as good and i know one of em. Thats only because he’s too nice.
The best thing about steam reviews isn’t that it helps you to avoid bad games instead you get to see gold like this
Honestly, its not as bad as the reviews let on. Especially when using mods to cut down on the games god awful character grind because the perk system is atrocious. The games main story is absolute dogwater but the faction questlines for the uc, fc, ryujin, and crimson fleet (especially the crimson fleet/uc under cover quest) all are prety fun. Im actually coming back to it on xbox again with some mods and creations. I havent nought shattered space and even though it looks gorgeous, i know i wont get it unless it goes on deep sale.
The best way to play this game imo is not as an rpg, but as a space sim. Make ur own adventure type of deal. I have a mod on that increases the encounter chances for space events so it doesnt feel so empty and its free. Another creation adds bigger and more in depth randomized locations to explore, but sadly those 2 creations are 500 creation points each so i havent gotten them yet. With the free trackers alliance update from a while back u can be a bounty hunter like the old ps2 star wars bounty hunter game with jango fett. The ship crafting is pretty good too, especially if u put on the free mod that increases the size limit so u can build some truly epic starships that double as ur home. My favorite part of this games gameplay is boarding other ships after taking out their engines, its so incredibly satisfying.
Theres tons of little random quests and stuff too like one i found where there was a colony inhabited by clones of history’s most notable and influential characters like Cleopatra, JFK, and Amelia Earhart and ive only found that quest once.
Starfield is underwhelming at first and its main story is absolutely trash, but the game is actually pretty fun with some interesting things to it.
we already had no mans sky. not a single bethesda fan wanted this game. they wasted 8 years of development time for a game no one asked for, and now we have to wait even longer for the next elder scrolls and fallout. fuck starfield
Todd: “It was too different than you’ve seen from us in the past”
No Todd. It was too similar.
You even had Dragonborn and Dragon shouts in it.
Honestly, as a lover of Outer Space, I appreciated some of the aspects of this game. Being able to build my ship ( I created a custom behemoth that flew beautifully and packed a punch and had plenty of room inside ), and fly around to different planets, moons, and even asteroids was awesome. I loved the vibe when you were in outer space. However when you land on planets ( You can also land on any part of the planet which is cool but..) you quickly realize how empty each planet is. Even the planet New Atlantis is on ( This is supposed to be like a modern Earth) feels so damn empty. There’s only one major city and the rest of the planet is barren?? How does this make sense for humanity’s home base??? Where are all the shops, interactive NPCs, random events, strip clubs, gun shops (There’s only one gun shop on the planet, really??? Only one gun shop for humans’ home base???), only one bar which is small and pathetic, and not much else to see or do..
I have so many compliments but unfortunately many more complaints for the game, I wanted to love this game wholeheartedly but they make it really really hard to do it
Never beat the game, deleted game off hardrive, never gave it another thought. This is my review of Starfield.
They got beat to the punch by No Mans Sky. Pretty much all the stuff that could’ve been mildly interesting about SF had already been done (and better) by NMS by the time it released.
I’m so uninterested in Starfield this video came up in my feed half a dozen times before I watched it.
This is funny. Yesterday. Yesterday I re-downloaded on XSX for another try. I thought maybe with all the updates it may be enjoyable now. This POS cannot hold 60 fps to save its fkn life!!! It runs like dogshit on the console it WAS FKN MADE FOR!!! Bethesda sucks. I have absolutely NO hope for ES VI. Todd Howard is a goof! Game sucks
Why bring it up. Just let it die in peace.
I just can’t bring myself to give this game another chance after how bad my experience was when the game came out. Tried again about 7 months ago and the experience was just boring. Not the bethesda experience anyone asked for, besides todd
For those still holding out hope for this game, it is still quite fun if you play it with two modlists: Constellation by v2 and Starvival. Those two modlists truly bring the game to life by adding quality of life features which should have been shipped with the base game but weren’t.
I really wanted to love this game …and enjoyed it for a bit …but the game-breaking bugs really ruined it for me. This game could have been so much better …but it sucks due to pure laziness. They could have fixed it, but they didn’t. I will never again buy a new Bethesda game – I’ll wait a couple years and grab them on a sale, maybe. What a terrible company – I mean really.
Is there really a group called “House of the Serpent”? That’s hilarious!
BGS is always this bad, Starfield just doesn’t have nostalgia to distract people.
This is what you get when you hiring political activists instead of actual game developers
I’m actually enjoying it. Tons of quests and lots to learn. Skyrim was a disaster buggy mess when it launched. But to each there own.
I think you’re giving too much credit to professor with its capability of doing absolutely anything with programming they are known for getting the worst of the worst so they don’t show up their bosses
I’m enjoy starfield myself. I hope they give it the cyberpunk treatment
Elder Scrolls Online is also suffering an exodus right now after their pathetic attempt at subclassing, and following nerf patch. Over 70% of players from my guild has left for good. So have I. It has become a grind/nerf cycle with no engaging new content.
It’s such a disappointment. The art style looks cool (subjective), the music was pretty solid (again, subjective), and they have new game plus BUILT IN to the actual lore of the game, but did absolutely nothing in regards to letting the player fail, flail, and just impact the world in general.
I truly wish the game was better, and I’m pretty disappointed, I do think I got my money’s worth, but the second I hit new game plus it just felt like a massive gut punch realizing that there was next to no impact on the world from a player perspective.
Better play Elite Dangerous
played it once and beat it. broke the game about 10 hours in after getting the mantis ship and going to a planet with level 98 beetles and just farmed levels. never wanted to pick it back up again and quite frankly was bored as hell halfway through it. almost didn’t even play it when it required me to pick pronouns in character creation. fuck pronouns and that mentally ill shit.
Lol the code has “arrfived out of Cruise mode” at 14:40.
When Elder Scrolls 6 drops I’m going to wait a good few months and see if it’s even worth it.
So i dont understand why would they still release something new for the game in 2026 if there s so much hate for the game. Doesn’t make sense tho! 🤔 Then add N stuff that should have been in gane from the jump. Wa ever Gta6 is upon us very soon tho!
If Starfield comes to PS5 next year I’m not buying it
Those who left the game are stupid. It’s excellent, the community is providing us with superb mods, and the year 2026 is looking excellent with the big update approaching!
Typical Bethesda. Relying on modders to fix their game. I’ve stopped buying anything from them since FO4.
Honestly, they had the opportunity to make Starfield into the FAR distant fallout. Might be a hot take though
I’ll buy it for a dollar.
Their most dedicated streamers don’t even touch this game it’s so bad, they all stick to Skyrim and fallout.
And no alien races to play or meet <--literally the #1 reason for playing a space-faring rpg.
I am terrified for ES6…
21:28 Bethesda want to “monetize” Starfield for years to come, just not with content they actually have to bother making themselves…Shameful really.
Until we get rid of email and Todd and any activists that have also gone into it we’re not going to get decent games honestly we need to get the people that email and Todd pushed out back
This game could be a lot better if they turned it around. They have to work on it.
If you dont like it don’t F*cking play it Jeezzz no need to wax Lyrical over it we all f*cking know it dumping on this is getting old …Bethesda is shit yeah innit move on yawn
Ive never quit a Bethesda game so fast before.
Nowadays, each time you hear that a game will be “Xbox’s next big thing”, you can be sure as hell it will suck hard.
At this point even TES VI is concerning me too. I have massive doubts.
I was looking at Starfield mods on Nexus last night and there are hardly any when compared to Skyrim and Fallout 4. I mean, hardly any innovation at all in almost 2 years. Either all the modders bought into that Creations garbage and no longer put any mods on any other site, or modders just don’t care and have moved on from this game. This game has some of the MOST ugly character models that I have ever seen in a Bethesda game and that is usually where modders start first and shine, yet aside from a few body mods (no where near as good as CBBE and Bodyslide), there are very few beautification mods of any quality. Maybe faces CAN’T be beautified, which is crazy when you see some of the mods that Skyrim and Fallout 4 has that makes characters and NPCs look better.
And that is JUST the character/NPCs…there are also very few new quest mods, lackluster armor and weapons, and some ships that look ok. If there was ever a Bethesda game that need mods, Starfield is it, and they are either locked behind a paywall or subpar free ones. It really was a swing and a miss by Bethesda.
Enjoyed parts of starfield, The space station in SS was pretty good ,
I actually like Starfield.
I literally only log in if people request I do a housing video. It’s not something I’d ever play again – Bethesda dropped the ball with this one big time IMO.
This game was the last game I’ll ever (have) pre-order. I learned a valuable lesson.
Emil is a “lead writer” who literally doesn’t like writing stories because some players might not engage with them. This attitude was extended to world building with procedural generation.
As long as he is part of Bethesda team, expect more watered down trash.
I feel Starfield should’ve been smaller in scale.
Only thing that could bring me back to starfeild is a complete revamp update it would have to be bigger then the cyberpunk 2.0 update also there are 10 dollar paid mods better then the dlc
I don’t understand all the hate for Starfield. I really enjoyed the game. I won’t play it again, but I still enjoyed it.
And I mean that sincerely.
It hilarious how No Man Sky has everything from land vehicles, submarine vehicles, above water vehicles, flying, seamless travel and more. And starfield is JUST attempting to do one of these things. Lol. Hello Games doesn’t even have the same amount of money as Bethesda and they still have a better game. Most importantly Hello Games learned from there mistakes. Bethesda refuses.
i can say after playing 2 of my favorite games no mans sky and star citizen all other space games are just irrelevant
Bethesda is the Pirate Software of the gaming industry. Can never admit any fault/error, and they just double down on everything.
Starfield will have the same epitaph on its gravestone as me. Wasted Potential.
It was joke on relese.
Starfield was supposed to be like Fallout 76( when it 1st came out) , but no one liked it, so they had to change everything. They secretly created Starfield, an empty sandbox game, when they are known for having games filled with small stories that interconnect.
I mean, people were joking pre-release about “Elder Scrolls in Space”. If Bethesda had made that either far-into-the-future or far-into-the-past space game based on an expanded Elder Scrolls lore (or alternative universe because the last Dragon Break went hawire) and just gone wild with it, people would have eaten it up.
Starfield gave you 20k views in 5 hours while your last video gave you 70k in 9 days bruh
I thought it had potential. I think it’s a gorgeous game to look at. I love the detail in the areas and the art design.
I hink Todd Howard has lost touch with what RPG fans want, and if Bethesda wants to have any hope of making games beyond Elder Scrolls 6 then Todd gotta go.
The only names I remember are mom and dad
This game is nonsensical the lore and this universe doesn’t work at all. The gameplay is boring there is absolutely no reason to have 1000+ planets since they all have the same repeated Points of Interests over and over. Uninteresting sterile storyline that doesn’t have any high points its a complete and total mess i think its worse than Fallout 76 at this point.
Like many people, i was originally very hyped for this game. But as more and more gameplay was revealed pre-launch, that hype and hope quickly dissipated. I could see this wasn’t going to be the Bethesda experience we all wanted and were used to. I’m very glad i decided many years ago not to buy a game until 6 months after release, it’s saved me £60 here.
Emile is one of Bethesdas MANY problems.
That would shock me if starfield was a real game. But its not. “Because starfields a fake game”
Don’t forget all the lies Todd Howard told over Fallout ’76….. yeah remember those whoppers???
What a waste of studios time we could have had another fallout game instead of this
What blows my mind is there are people who bought this game after reading the reviews…..
IMPLOSION
I really wanted to love starfield. But it was a game designed to cater to “everyone” which stripped it of any identity it was going for. also, bulk inventory management is a NIGHTMARE in a game where you want to pick up everything.
What they could’ve done was make it like death standing with the online structures and stuff
7:48 They have “a lot” of exciting things to share this year? The year is already like 70% over with nothing to show. I suspect the best they will have is a PS5 release in Nov. or Dec. And maybe that update with a nicer loading screen when you fly into a new system. How much you wanna bet some of that “a lot” is just an announcement for content next year?
Agreed worse than 76 didn’t think it was possible.Hope ES6 isn’t worse than Starfield.
Everything just works!
Given away free for a time with certain AMD graphics cards. Luckily I missed out by a few months.
Would just like to point out to everyone…. Fallout 76…. Still going… Better than ever….
And thats their “””B team””” Can we upgrade them to A team now?
I honestly think they will just give up on this game. There is no way they can redeem themselves with updates no matter what they do. They would have to make the loading screens disappear and add lots of new POI’s, but highly doubt this will happen.
Haters gana hate. Starfield is the best game ever 😂
but didnt they have hyper realistic potato physics?!
Where are all the Fallout Simps who DECLARED this a success…..
by far the most overhated game Bethesda has ever made
are there valid criticisms?
absolutely
but at this point, not only is the horse of “BGS/Starfield bad” as dead and buried as “D4 bad,” it’s also just as overused and false
move on already. try calling out studios and groups that are actually being problems instead of digging up this dead horse for free engagement grifting
truthfully, some mods / creations do make Starfield a lot better.., but it still missing more biomes / structures, companions, etc.
Wow it’s kinda like when you give us a huge pile of shit and gaslight us into thinking it’s better than it is…. It’s almost like that game will die
i played about 30 hours this year and really enjoyed it. the handcrafted content is pretty great even though the game is just way too big
Strange that people can’t stop talking about that horrible, horrible game huh
NO SPACE TRAVEL…….LET THAT SINK IN!!!! space game with no space.
The fact that this arrogant and entitled schmuck is still crying about Sf just proves that it’s far from dead. Also, funny how this guy made this video around the same time that news broke of gamers getting excited about the leaked Sf data mine. It’s almost as if this guy and all his precious 🍆 riders can’t handle Sf getting attention again 🤷♂️
One thing I still cannot believe about Starfield is that there are no intelligent races, just humans and alien like monsters. I guess its my fault since I didnt watch the trailers as I didnt want to ruin the game for me but I just assumed wed have multiple alien races just like we have other choices in the Elder scrolls games. Why even go to space if theres even less variety than in Fallout,at least in fallout theres the talking ghouls and super mutants. Its just crazy to me and its not even just a playable character thing there just isnt intelligent alien life? Id think wed get variety like in mass effect but actually be able to play some of the other races
gee….fallout and skyrim are great even with the bugs , but…they should stick with what they know….listen to your fans todd…geez
Starfields devs & Todd lost passion on the project halfway through.., and Xbox cut the vision for the Series S RAM, cut content for the DLC & creations, forced DEI mandates made it bland & “ugly”, etc. etc.
….
Starfields next DLC needs their passion back, + content + companions!!
…
think Todd never really played Starfield.., devs only showed him some bits.., if Todd actually played it, he would have changed a lot (but his passion went to the Fallout TV show & Indiana Jones, after Starfields vision got cut and Xbox lied to him on multiplat etc)
There is not going to be an update that solves the issues with Starfield. You will have to rewrite the whole game, which isn’t going to happen.
– You play as an explorer in the settled system. In the SETTLED systems. Not the frontiers or the unknown regions, but the settled systems.
– You belong in a faction, that never explore anything. And the only things they find is stuff someone else already found.
– The game is a multi dimension story, when it is in fact just a time loop and not multidimensional.
– You have monsters called Terrormorph. Something they named before they knew they had the ability to MORPH as that is the twist to them.
– You have multiple options, but the obvious options are sometimes not even an option you can pick.
– In Starfield you travel 30.000 light years in order to pick up someones beer.
The situation Starfield has is very much different from the situation Cyberpunk had. Cyberpunk had technical and gameplay issues. Cyberpunk was always a good game when you ignored the poor launch state. People just needed to understand the setting and the story. Starfield has a very poor soul. You can patch the gameplay and mechanics. But you can’t fix the main quest.
Railjack system from warframe that is ofyen see as bad becuse it have so few things going on
Is alos system 8nfinity better than entire starfield xd
I just replay it right now, ignoring all crappy quests and awfull dialogues. All i’m interested in is the crafting part, gathering ressources for no reason but just have them, building huge ships just for the fun because they are useless.
So yes, for me it’s just a sandbox to satisfy my hoarder needs, it helps me to relax, not thinking, playing a game empty of everything.
And you better not think if you play it, as the review shown at the beginning resume exactly what it is. All those good looking systems that are useless or not used or used wrongly.
I think that Bethesda has good talents but also a large bunch of mediocre devs and unfortunately bad direction. It looks like half the game is unfinished or made by people who don’t understand what a space game is and the science behind it.
Talking about science the NASA punk is more like if an uneducated punk had just read a short resume about what space, spaceships, weapons, spacesuits, planets are, without even understanding it.
stupid paid mods also hurt it as well
Bethesda couldn’t develop their way out of a paper bag
The only remotely decent way to play this game is with the Star Wars Genesis total overhaul… And even then, it’s pretty short-lived once the novelty wears off. This is legitimately the best that modern Bethesda can do.
I think I gave this game a positive review early on but I included a major caveat that it’s the most unimpressive game they’ve ever made, and most players (self included) will go back to other things as soon as they’ve finished a playthrough.
Think I’m about 95% done from trying to 100% shattered space (started playing it 3 days ago which i know is really late) and the main plot could’ve been better if choice actually meant anything. Voice acting was good and weapons added were fun. How short the plot was is very saddening. I also expected varuunkai to be more jungly as the tree overgrew the embassy on jemison but maybe they choose barren for less of a workload?
Starfield still struggles with terrible loot drops and no higher level scaling gear. Im flabbergasted they still haven’t fixed that at the very least.
First Bethesda game I didn’t finish. If that’s Todd’s passion project I hate to think about how mediocre future games will be
I quit it when my ship deleted itself. I realized that the game was a formulaic, unrewarding chore.
Compare that DLC to the Lies of P DLC made by a studio I had never even heard of before that game,Overture was so fucking good meanwhile Bethesdas just seemed halfassed if that from everything ive heard about it. At this point now its basically the longer the studio has been around the worse the games are, thats not completely true but its getting there. Most companies I loved a decade ago I wont even support anymore,a decade ago bethesda was my favorite and all I cared about was getting Elder scrolls 6 and unless it comes out and is the best game theyve ever made I doubt ill even buy it at this point and I dont think I need to list all the others that went down the drain
I have 100% this game and its single player so not sure what player count actuslly means lol
It’s slowly becoming a really cool Star Wars game tho
Will nintendo sue for being in a vehicle like mario cart or being in space?😂😂😂
The devs were told to make a sci-fi fallout/elder scrolls and do so as cheaply as possible, we got dollar store no mans sky with no races but vanilla.
i could get over them making a terrible game but the way they try to pretend that their fans were eating it up is just insulting
“well all make it sooner or later…tell’em to make it count”
Slow news day, killa?
Todd and Emil are scammers and hacks. I wouldn’t expect anything good from them. Neither should you.
Loading…
Honestly bathesda/microsoft made big promises of it being their no man’s sky but in the end they did not at all put in all the work even though they bought tech from hello game wich you never could see at all making it feel like it was money wasted if it was used at all in the first place…
And the claims they are listening to players is a straight up lie, if they would then the game would be miles better than it is and likely more like no man’s sky…
Honestly unless they would show big updates being released for multiple months back to back then i would start looking again, but tod won’t he is to busy with other stuff…
Oh man I dont know why but I just never can get enough of shitting on Starfield lol I did plan on buying it at launch but hearing about exploration made me hesitate and Armored core 6 came out the same day and I went with that thankfully. I heard recently the loot on enemies is randomized instead of everything you see on the npc,if that is true that takes away one of the coolest aspects of these games
Starfield isn’t a game it’s a loading screen simulator in which they wanted to get people to pay for mods, Starfield itself isn’t even something new from Bethesda it’s an asset flipped cash grab because the executives can see the writing on the wall, all their good writers have left and the people responsible for putting together previous games are gone as well, what we are left with is the skeletal frame of something we once loved, and worst of all its walking around talking to anyone who will listen telling them they are still relevant and making good games and that we as consumers should purchase Skyrim again for the eighth time.
Even the oblivion remake was disappointing without mod support. At least we will be able to mod skyblivion.
It was a joke when it came out too. Bethesda should have just made TES6 like everyone wanted.
I tried to give Starfield another chance a few days ago. Ug… I tried. I was making myself play it. It was so boring and souldeadening… I had to go back to one of my steady stand-bys Sengoku Dynasty and eat riceballs while overlooking a glittering ocean somewhere in Medieval Japan. I didn’t even mind when that wild boar came out of nowhere and ambushed me. He was far more interesting of a character than anything in Starfield!
This game is as very mid. One of the most mid games I’ve ever played. I beat the game however I barely remember any of it. There is nothing that would ever make me want to go back to this game. I do not recommend it to anybody.
Neither some content addition nor updates of a regular kind would help – the game needs a whole restructure in and of itself from the base up.
STARFIELD was a mistake. It should have been ES6, but Todd wanted this bs IP. Just a huge disappointment.
1000 planets. 4 cities total.
I did very much enjoy my playthrough of the game. I had fun with my first time through it.
But the game has zero replay value.
Every single quest outcome is the same, regardless of your “choices” in dialogue, and the one thing that supposedly has an impact only changes which follower perk you lose access to.
The game also has zero reason for you to play past the main story and the.. 4 or so big questlines.
You’ll have already run into pretty much all the dungeon and outpost variations during your time playing through the main scenario so exploration has nothing new to offer, outpost building is.. completely useless, except for farming resources and money, which you can use to build bigger and better ships and outposts. For some reason.
And the New Game + system is beyond fucked. You don’t get to keep ANYTHING you’ve gathered. None of your weapons, none of your ships, none of your resources. This is terrible for many reasons, but the main one is that you keep your levels and skills. And enemies’ levels will scale with yours. So you go into the next loop with nothing, and will immediately face endgame level enemies. So you spent 20 minutes savescumming your way through a forced fistfight with the tutorial enemies on every loop.
It fucking sucks.
Again, first playthrough of the main quests was enjoyable. But playing more beyond that is boring and immensely frustrating. I’d say I got my money’s worth, but I’ll never play this again.
omg shut up about starfield and just give it a chance to grow. They already added fleets and other things and more characters and a big dlc are on the way this year.
i’m starting to wonder what’s going to happen first, Microsoft closing their game division (A.K.A shutting Xbox down) or ES6…
If you thought Starfailed was gonna “turn it around” you are crazy. Yes, Cyberpunk launched messy, but it had a healthy core and a lot of potential to pull from. Starfailed ? If it came out along side with Skyrim back in the day, it would still look old and bland.
Game is a college math level too hard game.
I’m sorry, this game represents everything wrong with Bethesda
De best part is he expected people like explore real empty planet.
it’s actually sad because i really like the art style, theme and lore of starfield and i feel like they have a real gem here, but man did they mishandle it and now im afraid it will die instead of being fixed.
there IS lore there and i like it quite a bit as someone who 100% completed the game, they just did a very poor job with representing it, the wasted potential is what hurts the most.
Bought it as cheap as I could, finished it twice ( just to see the new game plus ), uninstalled, haven’t touched it, will not get dlc.
Bethesda made its money. They’re gonna port it to PS5 with maybe another 2 hour $30 dlc and then never touch it again
I keep forgetting the game exists tbh, only reminders i get are youtubers farming its corpse.
The Starborn main quest was a stupid route to go. I mean ffs, you’re in space!!! And Bethesda still managed to fuck it up. There’s an AVN/porn game – Tales of the Unending Void – with a better story (and it’s not even that amazing) that is better than Bethesda shit main quest! I kid you not!
I got the game for free with my graphics card purchase but the thing is I bought the graphics card for Bg3 and to this day I still only have 2 hours into starfield
Got the game free with a video card. I got annoyed and stopped playing because they kept trying to railroad me into dating Sara because I was a good guy. I fucking hated Sara for some reason and I don’t remember why lol.
I mad I bought this shi back then. I was so hyped for this & i only played it for the first week it came out & didn’t come back.
I don’t know why y’all hate on this game.
I love it, I play it every night before bed.
Digital melatonin…
got a challenge for you, name one important npc from each of these games, like a companion or cool questgiver:
fallout 1
fallout 2
fallout 3
fallout nv
fallout 4
morrowind
oblivion
skyrim
starfield
I bought this game for my nephew when it was sold for 79.99 euro on steam! He played it about 5 days max and gave up!
I got a 2 word reason why SNOREfiled failed – SANDWICH PIRATES
Sadly, Bethesda never really learned much from the modders, i wish they would finally learn form the “Unofficial Bugfix” modders.
Because Starfield had plenty bugs that were already in much older games. Bugs that were corrected by the community again and again in each game.
Honestly, Starfield is a HUGE disappointment, becaues it HAS potential. I absolutely LOVE the ship builder function, it´s fantastic.
The games that Bethesda has released have been progressively worse since FO3. IMO
that game single handedly destroyed my opinion of BGS
I still go by my original review. It’s not good, it’s not bad, it’s a game. It’s every Bethesda game in space. It has potential, but never reaches it.
Company is just like Bioware, used to be great but everyone is gone and now its just a husk of its former self. Its like going to see AcDc in concert only to realize the whole band quit and now its just a bunch of guys who play polka music…
I’ll play when it’s eventually on PSPlus, lmao. RIP Xbox…sorry.
The game has zero cohesive story, endlessly going through unity to collect artifacts for what?
Starfield is the idea of a game I WANT to like but im punished for giving it a chance.
ส่วนตัวแล้ว ผมเข้าใจว่ามีทุนจากดีอีไอไปไม่ถึงมังนะ เหมือนภาษีจากรัฐบาลที่กระจายไปยังหน่วยงานต่างๆแล้วกินหัวคิวกันไปแบบคอรัปชั่นน่ะ ในขณะที่ทุนนั้นพร่องลงไปแต่ฝั่งคนทำงานต้องรับผิดชอบในท้ายสุดแบบถูกเอาเปรียบล่ะนะ เลยค่อนข้างมั่นใจว่าทุนดีอีไอน่าจะไปเข้าฝั่งไมโครซอฟที่เป็นหัวคิว แล้วไปไม่ถึงเบชเช่ฯน่ะ , ส่วนนักเขียนสายเฟมินิสที่ดีอีไอส่งเข้าไปแทรกแซงที่ช่วยโฆษณาให้คงได้เงินเยอะหน่อย เพื่อทำตัวเป็นสื่อในการกลบเกลื่อนปัญหาและเบี่ยงเบนความสนใจน่ะ , แต่ดีอีไอยังไงก็ไม่ต่างจากดีอาร์เอ็มที่คอรัปชั่นกันล่ะนะ เลยน่าจะเป็นเรื่องเงินเรื่องธุรกิจที่คอรัปชั่นส่วนใหญ่แล้วเอาปัญหากับความผิดไปโยนให้คนทำงานคนสร้างชิ้นงานรับผิดชอบ เพื่อกลบเกลื่อนปิดบังการคอรัปชั่นล่ะนะ ปัญหาเคสนี้คนทำงานรู้ตัวกันน้อยน่ะ เพราะนอกจากจะต้องลำบากทำงานยุ่งกับงานไม่พอ ยังถูกใส่ร้ายจากพวกคอรัปชั่น เพื่อปิดบังการก่อเหตุของพวกคอรัปชั่น เลยจะมีแต่พวกที่ทำตัวเป็นปัญหากับพวกคอรัปชั่นส่วนใหญ่ที่จะจับทางได้ล่ะนะ .
I get that a Beth game comes out and people kinda expect to play it for years because …that’s what we do with their titles but at the same time it is a single player game… Like pull up the numbers for Days Gone, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, or Divinity Original Sin 2 and you’ll see people played the game, had their fun, and moved on xD These aren’t WoW, FF, ESO, or GW 1/2 xD In order for these games to hold an audience long term the modding tools HAVE to be there, and Beth is being little bitches with those tools this time… So regardless of if people enjoy the vanilla Starfield experience, like I do, or not, like most people, I wouldn’t expect more than a few hundred players tops at this point.
I’m high key worried that Elder Scrolls VI is gonna suck some big ol’ ass.
I think that Todd Howard’s true colors came out with this game – it’s apparently his vision, and with that, his vision is more imaginative than actually tangible. Starfield is a landscape of nothing, expecting modders and gamers to fill in the lack of imagination by the devs and Todd
bruh skyrim has 4x the amount of players
Here’s a thing… if this was literally Tods dream game like he said it was… how bad will ES6 and Fallout 5 be?
After beating cyberpunk for a 3rd time I was thinkIng about jumping back into starfield. I guess not XD
Oh god, the face reveal for me was too much for me. My mental image completely shattered.
Saying the next DLC is gonna be like Nuka World should be a big warning for the 5 or so starfield fans. Nuka World is one of the most disappointing, bare bones dlc ever released. People say they wished there was a “good” questline, as if the evil questline is any less a shooting gallery than going for open season. It could have been so much more than it was. I hate Nuka World, both for what it is, and for what it had the potential to be.
Bought this day one based on my love for Bethesda games, never been so dissapointed. Was expecting an amazing Prey/Fallout mashup with typical Bethesda world building and campaigns, but it was super bland.
Ah yes, Baulder’s College Fanfiction Project 3. A wasted $80…
I played Snorefield for 15 hours at launch on game pass and gave up I was so bored. Bethesda is creatively bankrupt. Every game is the same, just a different coat of peeling paint.
Seriously Todd should just retire. Let someone enthusiastic and new lead Besthesda
The only way i will go back to starfield is IF Bethesda can pull off what CDPR did with cyberpunk, No Mans sky. Until then it will stay off my computer lol
Keep in mind those “free” content updates are not compatible with achievements. those are behind a paywall. I am firmly in the believe that Bethesda half assed the development of this game and paywall the rest of the legit content to get more money out of the consumer. if ES6 is like this I’m done with Bethesda forever.
Microsoft dropped the ball by not immediately putting Zenimax on a leash upon purchase.
Why don’t any of you guys talk about Bethesda locking achievements behind a paywall if you choose to use mods?
What’s depressing is that Starfield isn’t a bad game, it just doesn’t have anything in it. It has one of the most stable versions of the Creation Engine I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious Bethesda was proud of this project but the same problem still applies. “Wide as an ocean but has the depth of a puddle,” is the overall issue of what this game really has. It’s like having a robotic monkey on your back all the time. What’s even more depressing is there is STILL POTENTIAL HERE! If anything I think the only thing Bethesda has to do is rewrite the games narrative to actually make it in their top bracket.😖😢
I think it’s wild that of all the projects and studios that got canned, Bethesda and especially Starfield got a pass. Not even a mean look in relative terms to the absolute purge of staff by Xbox over the past 2 years. I thought they were trying to push Starfield on PS5 this year, thus the radio silence, but that’s not really a thing till next year?? That’s embarrassing. Bethesda is just an absolute money pit and I’m not sure why (or even how) Phil Spencer is sparing Todd and crew from the axe, because at this point anybody else could make ESVI and it couldn’t be any worse.
I put in 120 hours when it launched. Haven’t played since and haven’t even touched the expansion yet, kind of forgot it existed. And I’m a huge space genre fan of everything. The only reason I’m thinking of playing it again is for the expansion achievements to get back my 100%
And people still give an audience to the shills calling this game a 10/10 before it came out. “Xbox tax” you mean a bad game
Starflield is just soo… generic. Its got no personality or identity.
Im still not interested in playing this game
At this point the game needs a major overhaul and i am not sure Bethesda is up to the task for it. There needs to be the implementation of actual evil and bad characters because the game pretty much FORCES you to be a good guy. Joining the Space pirates needs to be reworked and expanded on vastly. I would also think they need to rework the main story as its the most boring of all questlines in the game. The UC Vanguard story is by far the best and most interesting story along with the Ryujin corporate espionage
It would be such a good game if it was good
I’m playing it right now. 😂
I definitely can see why some people do not like this game but there are some pockets of the game that I do enjoy and I can see what they were trying to go for.
The loading screens, lack of actual space travel, and emptiness brought it down.
They need a Cyberpunk rebirth. Fix space travel, tone down the loading screens or mask them, also they should have gone all the way with each multiverse and gave them different variations of factions and quests.
Lol the game no one remembers exists!
Nah i’m going back to no man sky at this point
I wouldn’t hold your breath for Elder Scrotes 6, from what I hear there’s a lot of the same poor management decisions. Just be happy with what we’ve already gotten.
I just started playing this again. Around 320 hours logged. I don’t know why, but I love it to death. BUT…I did stop to play Expedition 33, Final Fantasy XVI, and High on Life. Nevertheless, back at Starfield again.
As someone who loves Table top games like Travelers or shows like Firefly, i really wanted Starfield to be amazing but I can’t even play it on the lowest settings with out it crashing constantly. I thought it was a PC issue on my end but I play Escape from Tarkov, Cyberpunk and Fallout 4: Frost mods with no issues so I chalked it up to bad game code on Bethesdas part lol
Starfield in 2023 was a joke
No man’s sky that came out years before starfield has double player count
How are there still people talking about Starfield. 😀 Bethesda is dead just accept it.
I guess I’m that 1% that still plays the game lol
it’s an okay game. But again the romance could use a tiny more spicy going on. Not too mention the same enemies over and over. The worse Bethesda did was horse armor you had to pay for. That was the start.
I really couldn’t care less about Bethesda anymore, their regular laziness already reached it’s limit. And to top it all if they let a Karen dev team make Starfield, which applies nearly all of the Xbox studios; and pretty much every legacy studio out there. One look at these devs teams and their cv’s and you know they simply aren’t capable of making something good. And 99% of times also don’t want to cause they despise the games, characters and above all; gamers. Most legacy studios have been long gone, and existed in name only.
Starfield in 2023 was a joke
I still have zero interest in it. They tried to make something new and all they did was Skyrim in space. Laughable.
The biggest price to be paid from this game is that the time used on the dev cycle, man power and post launch support (what little there was) could have been split between Fallout 5 and ES6. Xbox fumbled so hard after the Bethesda acquisition. I would’ve put belt to ass on Bethesda to get a main line title launched and nuked Fallout 76/Starfield ASAP. Maybe one of the craziest wastes of a studio I’ve ever seen.
It’s bad when the build up and promise for the game was better than the game itself….they whiffed bad in alot of ways on this game
If a game has no players, does it still just work?
It’s surprising how forgettable Starfield was. Probably due to the core loop of 7 leading screens followed by 2-3 minutes of gameplay followed by 7 loading screens, and that the 2-3 minutes of content was mostly the same frozen lab over and over. (Seriously, why did that frozen lab pop up so often?)
I thought Shattered Space was better – it least it had an interesting area to explorer, but the quest was… Kinda nonsensical. The whole point of House Va’ruun (has to look up the name) vs the extremists was that Va’ruun no longer thought they had to wipe out everyone that didn’t believe as they did, which is why the extremists _left_ in the first place. Then we find out the person who made piece in the first place actually _does_ want war and was secretly creating super-soldiers ? Why stop the original war? UC propaganda aside, given the concessions _all_ sides made, it was still anybody’s victory when piece was made. Anyways, main quest aside, it was a handcrafted city with handcrafted environs and genuinely fun to explore. Just a shame I didn’t care about any of the characters or outcomes because the base game had done such a poor job of giving any of the factions enough identity to be interesting. As for the poor sales, it’s pretty hard to sell an addon to a game nobody cares about and everyone forgot.
Nah, even though Fallout and Elder Scrolls are established franchises, you can literally pick up any single game and it will be memorable… in comparison, Starfield isn’t😂
Starborn expansion will let you play the game 20x over.
Bethesda will be working on the Starfield live service game after TES6.
I hoped so bad for starfield to be great but it just wasn’t…makes me sad along with bethesda seems to not be listening to feedback like the players are all wrong but if es6 comes out like that bethesda will be lets say cutting head count
Good riddance to boring rubbish.
Bruv all hate Aside i genuinely enjoy the game as a Normal To Mid- High Game, its definitely one of my favorites due to the mechanics & just how things work. There’s so much detail that ive noticed such how objects Move when you interact Such as closing you space cockpit door and other doors & there’s so much More! Now this is coming from someone who has never touch Bethesda Games before but only Skyrim & Oblivion. But this is Genuinely a Great Game in my Opinion, Now here are the cons of it…. How Space Works Just absolutely Sucks because there’s so much Loading Screens Rather Than Seemless Space Travel from Planet to Planet, & the fact that its a Space Simulator with no atmospheric Flight Just Genuinely sucks & such a Bummer. Another is the dialog at times, But Other than that Beuv its a great Game.
I’m playing this game right now, I don’t get the hate. Im a lv 30 scoundrel and still have hella shit to do.
It took Todd Howard 20+ years to write the plot of Starfield, it’s literally the best he could come up with.
5/10 game. A Massive letdown.
Haven’t even bought the game yet, despite being a big BGS games fan.
I have zero interest exploring procedurally generated content, because after you’ve visited couple few locations, you’ve visited them all.
Starfield might get an audience if it was fixed, but there is no fixing Starfield because it would have to be “remade” and the story completely redone almost from scratch and lots more content (dungeons, a lot) added, the list piles on an on, Bethesda is not that kind of company, and Todd is not that kind of man, and Microsoft won’t even want to hear about it. Starfield will get another shitty DLC and a PS5 version and that’s it, to the bin it goes.
I liked Starfield 🤷. It wasn’t the best game ever made, but I got 100 hours out of it and had fun going through the main storylines the first time. The problem is the Creation Engine. It looks pretty in Starfield, but the character animations and slow load times make the game seem ancient.
theyre so tone deaf… to save Starfield they had to pull of a NMS-like Revamp and not DLC´s
This isn’t learning from the modding community, this is letting the modding community finish your game
I personally enjoy Starfield, & have been playing it a lot recently. But, I also don’t engage with most of the procedurally generated content, because it’s trash mostly, space stuff aside. Creations like Watchtower & Everbright also help a lot.
I also find the game to be an immersive space sim, more than anything else I’ve ever played. Can the game be better — 💯%. But, it’s not bad. I feel that folks dunk on it for clicks.
PS: haven’t played shattered space yet, nor have I finished the game & experienced the end game.
PSS: Vendors need unlimited credits, that does drive me crazy….
“It’s more than dead jim, it’s brain is gone !” is the first coming to my mind whenever i see starfield.
Bethesda is far overdue for bankrupcy at this point.
Every year the number of games you can choose to play increases why would any waste their time on something so soulless
I’m playing it right now actually
For the most part I enjoyed the game. If I can get 1 hour for every dollar I paid for it I got my moneys worth out of it. I have given money though other means to mod creators to support them. But I will never pay for ANYTHING off their Creation store no matter how good the mods are.
Bethesda is crap. They hired crap devs and now make crap products, but hey–they’re politically active, so that counts! Right? No?
It always was a joke.
Bethesda made it after all.
Starfield is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. I have no desire to ever replay it. I had to force myself to finish it, and then I found out the game wants you to replay it 10x over. Oh hell no.
Meanwhile, games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate III I want to play 10x over.
beth games have plenty of jank and can be a bit off putting at times, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut….. its still built up in the same way as skyrim and fallout 4 which means it does have potential to be fixed right up whether thats fan made mods for the myriad of things that gets done, everything from new locations to jiggly boob physics, provided beth support it and/or do it themselves.
you can hate fallout 4s plot and various other things, but once youve played it through a couple of times and get bored, you can make close to your own gameplay/aesthetic/career/world detail and get a bit more life into it.
granted some things wont change but my current F4 playthough has replaced map clicky fast travel with working flyable vertibirds… oh and then there is my personal bodyguard of a half dozen cloned amazons armed with MG42s with the uniforms to go with em…
I killed Starfield for myself because the first thing I wanted to do as soon as I was allowed was fly to the Sol System and be a nerd, I wanted to land on Pluto, or land on Venus, or Ganymede and run around a bit. Probably around the time I was landing on Dione or Persephone, I started realizing, these are all the same! 😂 There’s no more reason to land on Venus than there is Pluto, its just there. 😂 Plus load screen, load screen, load screen for every action 😢 lol
Bethesda caught lightning in a bottle, and then just decided to stay stale for the last 15 years. Starfield is soooooo boring and unimpactful that it should only be used to put people to sleep
Borefield 🙄
i got this game for free with my gpu, i still wanted a refund.
Bethesda died as legit game company soon as Microsoft bought them.
I prefer No Man’s Sky.
Starfield is the only space game to not feel like a space game because you don’t pilot your ship anywhere. “Where explorers” No your a bland character in a box with old gen graphics.😅
Man I remember being excited about this game but once it dropped it was obvious how low value it is. At this point I don’t think I’d even play it if it was free… now maybe if they want to PAY me to play it, I might consider it.
Ive been playing star wars Genesis it’s a better game than Starfield. And it’s a mod for crying out loud.
Dude, just play No Man’s Sky.
One planet has more life than all the planets from Starfield combined.
There is only one way to fix Bethesda. New leadership. I do not see another route to success moving forwards. They fell off with the present leadership, so how else can they find their way back?
“Cant remember a single npc…. …new vegas, fallout 4 still around
Mags Black, cutest NPC villian ever.
One character in a DLC for fallout 4 is magnitudes more memorable than the entirety of Starfield
They lost me at the ‘paid content’ stuff.
DLC packs are one thing, making a bundle of cool alternative skins or ship models, maybe some new maps or content that’s worth some spare change. Shoveling out money for every-individual-extra until you’re nickled and dimed to oblivion, or splitting up those DLC packs like Diablo 4 did to increase their ‘microtransaction opportunities’.. hard. fucking. pass.
I think a free-to-play revamp is the only thing that would even get me to consider reinstalling this trash-pile of a game. I really cannot come up with any notion of what could realistically be added in an expansion that would make me want to come back to that world… much less be worth the cost of admission. Hope ES6 is better put together but for me Starfield accomplished the same thing that Cyberpunk-2077 did… reintroduced a healthy amount of skepticism about the developer, and reminded me not to jump in until I’ve seen the reviews from people i believe!
If the game had solid sim elements like Elite Dangerous, it would’ve had long legs to keep it going for the sandbox, but space travel is literally jumping from bowl to bowl. There’s not even such a thing as a real orbit since everything is collected in a single space. At first it feels OK when it’s new, but after the next takeoff and you’re pointing AT the planet, the flaws become too numerous.
Im still so pissed about this game. This is the game he always wanted to make huh, his big dream that promised highly. Gross
I think starfield was made with ai
I found Starfield fun 70/100 experience the 1st playthrough. I did play it a second time for ship and base building. But I’d never pay for DLC. This game is not worth the price I paid. I’m not going to spend more. Personally I think Bethesda has become lazy and now they have a ‘don’t care’ attitude now that XBOX owns them. If the studio gets cancelled, the upper management goes home rich. I doubt we’ll ever see a new Elder Scroll game. TBH, I really don’t care seeing as we will see a new Witcher game. Bethesda like Bioware are old, studios with nothing to offer.
It was always a joke, there’s just too many Bethesda fanboys.
I respect everyones opinion. Personally I enjoy it. I hope they keep at it and work on it. It definitely got better after a few updates.
It was a joke when it came out…
Elder scrolls 6 is going to be woke slop.
Starfield deserves to get the Anthem treatment at this point. It’s a soulless cashgrab.
Starfield was a joke on day 1. Space dragon shouts? Basically going nowhere in the vastness of space.
Hell, It doesn’t just work. Bethesda is dying. Hell, the only reason skyrim is still played is because of the mods. Without them, it would’ve died decades ago.
Thought it was always a joke
If you think this is bad, wait until you see TES6. Guarantee the delays are ALL related to Starfield reactions.
I didn’t though game was that bad when i decided to try it trough family sharing and than decided to 100% clear it because i wanted to find anything good about it(i managed but honestly it were tiny specks in the endless void) and i needed some space adventure i didn’t try yet. it turned out worse than it generally presented >_< Although i don't understand why no one point at oblivious lack of memorable theme song or composition in this game, in entire game there is 5(i believe, if there is more i didn't notice) very generic soundtracks. Or that most of those infuriating loading screens doesn't make any sense. For example when we land on planet and walk around ship, we can see what happen outside(animals that walk around and it we go outside they will be there) though windows or cockpit, but there is significant loading time to get out when we should be able to simply open hatch...
Mechanics? I said this two years ago but it is worth repeating: what do I need new mechanics for when the content is so sparse? Cruise mode so I can go see the same biomes and POIs I’ve been seeing for over 100 hours? Just let the game go and let it be what it is. They are wasting precious resources on dead stock.
Where do they get reviews that are positive from??? No way that many people thought it was so good that they would leave reviews
NGL, glad I did not buy or play a single second of this game.
I can barely get myself to play Fo4 or Skyrim after this game really made the faults in their gameplay loop so unavoidably apparent. It was so bad it nuked their entire catalog for me.
It was a joke last year too.
If they had nailed space exploration and made base-building actually work/relevant I think we’d be having a different conversation.
Most 5/10 game ever
Emil is a hack.. n it happened right in front of Todd. Epic fail..
Starfield is crap, Todd. Own it. Your die hard fans are nostalgic for your old games and hopeful for the next Elder Scrolls. They’re doing you more harm than good by being nice about it. Stop wasting so much time and money on it.
If Bethesda had reduced the systems to 4-5, with 6-10 immersive planets, and put Emil on vacation and hire a totally new writing team. Then maybe Starfield would have been OK….maybe
Oh boy starfield! I can never decide if I want to hold W and walk for several minutes straight, have boring conversations with ugly NPCs, or stare at a loading screen. What a great game!
It was so boring that not only didn’t I bother buying it on sale, I didn’t even bother to pirate it just to try it…
I could not get past the tutorial and I was well over 3hours in the game. The game starts to damn bad!
The coolest part about this game is the ship building. Wish NMS off that with their ships.
Lil Tay ahh thumbnail
I bought the game and played it a lot (probably around 150 hours) but once i stopped i forgot it existed almost immediately
once i beat it and started the NG+ it got a lot worse
Bethesda should sell their IP and give someone else a shot at it.
If they actually do an expansion and MS doesn’t fire the entire staff of bethesduh, they should give it away to the 5 people who bought shattered space as an apology. As it stands, until MS actually realizes that the purchase of bethesda was a mistake and maybe cleans house… the company will continue to churn out garbage for years to come.
My wife has a thousand hours of game time in fallout 4 after two years, less than a hundred in starfield. 🤷♂️
Like 180 in oblivion I think, it’s what she’s playing now.
Even for normies Starfield offers nothing of value.
Starfield is a genre Todd Howard wanted and monetised for Microsoft. It is not a game their customers wanted.
They thought they’d create a modder Paradise, but the mod devs never came. The base game was so bad nobody wanted to touch it
Star – what again?
I.wanted to love this game and play it over and over just like oblivion fallout 3 and skyrim. And then i played it, it wasnt terrible, but it definitely isn’t worth playing more than once.😐
It was kinda baffling they were able to make such a boring game. Little loading screen simulator where all your choices have literally zero impact.
I was considering it but FO4 felt like a kick to the jewels. Combine that with the cost of living and you quickly conclude it ain’t worth it. Maybe when the total package is less than a coffee I’ll humor picking it up but not before.
I wonder how much dei hiring impacted Starfield … I won’t be pre ordering anything from Bethesda ever again.
Love how the triple-A studios have gone from “Let’s show vids and talk about what to expect” to build excitement to “Don’t say anything too much” to deceive and entrap consumers.
I just picked up this game last month. And I enjoy it. Not every game needs to have a “cultural impact” to make it a good game. The game is what it is. It’s about exploration and building your mark in the universe. If you missed that, that is on you.
I still play, but its only to build ships with modded parts cuz its cool to build wild shit and then go into it and walk around. other than that I have done 0 quest
If this boring shitty game is what they hoped to make with no soul i fear for es6
This is the consequences of being owned by Microsoft now your games have to become even more sanitize and water down so it appeals to a wider audience when you make a game for everyone you’re making a game for no one
One month after release Todd was thanking the millions of players in Starfield. Literally at the same time players had dropped to 5 k. He must have known that. Its gaslighting at max. Bethesda turned out this way because the key figures at Bethesda are incapable of criticizing each other.
Well personally I can’t wait to get on this game
Mhm… Starfield has always given me the vibes of being Bethesda’s crowning achievement in complacency. Something that would be produced with the mindset of “data indicates that our formula always produces instant successes followed by years of user engagement and longevity, so we can’t possibly fail”.
They just missed one important caveat to that gambit. Engagement and longevity are both born from the players’ initiative; it’s not something that can be mandated by the devs. Even modders don’t buy and sink their time and attention into a game just because it happens to be moddable. Even if we were to see it as “modding platform”, there still has to be *something* that arouses imagination. Something that shows traces of potential that mods can bring out. Something that makes for a solid foundation to build on…
TES and Fallout games have always been rough around the edges and had an uneven distribution of quality, but at least there was something to get our foot in the door. A setting that evoked curiosity and wonder, a world we could get lost in for days, even just the visual language of their previous game was strong enough to capture interest, despite the janky assets.
But Starfield just feels so… sterile in every way. The plot actively discourages you from getting attached to any characters, places and stories in it. The world is emptier and more generic than ever. And even the visual identity of the game is so… indistinct? How does one even manage to create a sci-fi setting that looks less imaginative than the view out of my window?
Lot’s of valid criticism but the ship building/customization and fighting and pirating and privateering was actually very fun that was the only parts of the game’s I can say was done very well.
If they also had gore like in fallout it would have made the combat way more fun and amusing especially in zero or low gravity where limbs, blood and viscera and such would be floating all around and also would make the combat feel a lot more satisfying.
Look, starfield, we need to talk. I’ve given you second chance after second chance and this just isn’t working out. Please stop promising me you’ll do better. Its over. Just let it go. This is getting weird.
And yet here you are making videos on it. Go play some games on your platform of choice,or report on some games you want to play, this negativity is annoying and way more uninteresting than you say starfield is.
I gave up on Bethesda after the disappointment of Fallout 4. They’ve only got worse since then. Nothing will improve as long as Todd is running the show.
Everything about it sucks, the weapons are so terrible and uninteresting they match the writing perfectly
I got tired of dudes hitting on me in that game.
Content creators, ha ha ha. Still find a way to make money from it. You are no better than the shit you slag off.
I liked my first play through but literally that’s it I couldn’t even get into the new game plus or new play through as hard as I tried and it sucks cause I love Bethesda games
I remember a interview with Todd Howard how he loves to drop a game without people waiting which i think is why Oblivion was shadow dropped and Fallout 4 was a month before announced . Will see how ES6 is because loading screens don’t matter with that game but i think they have lost their magic over a decade ago
I downloaded it day one on game pass, played it for about 5hrs and never touched it again.
Smaller, better games, not bigger, blander ones. Been saying it for years. Devs and audiences got obsessed with how big games were, started comparing map sizes. I remember being told directly (admittedly by a Nintendo fanboy, the worst of the worst) that Horizon was inferior to BOTW because BOTW was bigger. What?
Now every AAA game is a gigantic 200-hour sandbox, but keeping the quality up is very hard to do, if not impossible. Make games smaller again, the quality per minute played will improve.
Skyrim – made me question
Fo4 – was confusing and just a miss
Fo76 – got me to actually complain
Starfailed- broke me.
Honestly at this point, i dont care what beth does or makes. They are on the dead list for me.
What I make of Starfield in 2025? Less than in 2023, where I at least installed it, played it for 10 hours, uninstalled it and never touched it again. Bought BG3 around the same time in which I’m just starting my 6th playthrough. I feel nothing about Bethesda anymore, no excitement for ES 6, no excitement anymore for anything Fallout unless they change their writing from the ground up or let someone else do it, but they are so unwilling to learn anything or take any criticism serious, they commited creative sususei. I just can’t decide which one was the worst failure to me, Starfield or Veilguard, both completely destroyed an IP and studio.
*Astronaut pointing gun at LegacyKillaHD as he looks at Earth”
Always has been.
Its the intentional burning of art.
“the new Skyrim” 😂😂😂😂
The game would need a complete rework for it to be remotely interesting. It is broken at its core. May as well just make a different game instead of pouring more resources into a dumpster fire.
I thought the way you said “thirty fucking dollars” was funny asf
This travesty made me apreciate No Man Sky even more.
If bethesda continues to fail with making their new games with skyrim levels of popularity, theyll continue to keep using skyrim and fallout 4 as their main success titles whenever they release a new game.
The only reason I would even consider re-installing this game, is for the Star Wars Genesis mod. That’s it.
I got star field early for some extra money on top of the game pass access. I’m played thru most of the story. Haven’t touched it since early -24. You don’t get my attention for 23 minutes about this game.. its Empty and boring. Why have hundres of plantes if 97% of the areaa are empty and the 3% that contains something are just repetitions on what you have already seen😑
Wow now we canTRAVEL to further planets that are empty, faster! Thx Bethesda!
Ah those diversity hires sure showed how great at making games they are huh? I almost forgot this game existed 😂.
Beth slapped together a game using procedural generated lands as a test for their mmo starfield (which was canceled and nobody wanted).
Beth failed to keep SF updated. Lack of Beth news on SF shows they never cared about. Beth was also having problems getting workers to come back to work from working from home due to covid to make sure they are working 8 hours.
I think they are waiting for the PS5 drop. Have a bunch new stuff the day it’s on PlayStation. Kinda like a relaunch. It could work. If the game is improved. Like No Man Sky rebuilt. But if it’s the same Ho Hum boring game. Bethesda is cooked. Cause if they thought they had scrutiny with this game. All eyes will be on Elder Scrolls 6. And they cannot afford to mess that game up.
Starfield is a reskin of Fallout 4 with some extras thrown in. I did not see any great new attempts to improve the character models or the action that might matter. The skill upgrade system is bad. Too much large empty space with nothing. I don’t even think the mod community was that excited.
And honestly, the game crashed so much on me all the time. If I ever have the time, I might revisit it, but probably not. I’m not interested in paid “Creations,” this has turned me off Skyrim and Fallout 4 as well. Every update is something bad.
They need to focus on doing a great Elder Scrolls 6, since Skyrim was 14 years ago. A great game with no pronoun / gender nonsense. A great fantasy game. I mean, come on.
Starfield in 2024 was also a joke though
The way they communicate makes it sounds like they have 20 people on staff
how was the land vehicle so badly implemented? they could’ve made it a ship module, but instead it just appears there magically.
even ubisoft outlaws had less loading screens 😂
He didn’t like it
This game is a Reddit know it all fedora wearing r/niceguy google chrome user’s idea of what a “realistic” space sim should be, but made on a 30 year old engine held together by happy thoughts and good intentions.
Starfield will become a game no one remembers in a decade until you say (Remember that failed space game Bethesda tried to make)
It was a joke when they LAUNCHED it and people got to SEE it. Now? It’s a….What’s that?
Starfield is just the culmination of Bethesda’s long march towards mediocrity. You can see a clear decline in their games after Morrowind. At the same time they wanted to make their games as accessible as possible so they began to strip out any depth they had. Their new games are actually competent in isolation, if any other dev released them we would be impressed, the problem is that it doesn’t exist on its own. Skyrim was the last game they made with any real soul.
I like to download creation mods for it and then never play it. Pretty much the same with fallout 4 and Skyrim and oblivion.
8:00 but its now August and still nothing.
The story on its own isn’t bad per se, it’s just that the overall game-play loop is horrible. That’s where Starfield suffers: game-play. However the game is a lot better as soon as you treat it as a colony/settlement building game rather than a “Space Exploration” game.
Starfield was actually a good marketing ploy for Game Pass. At least with GP you didn’t have to pay for the game so being disappointed didn’t come with an emptier wallet.
The story amd writing and characters were brutal DEI slop
Why you even bother talking about that shit game?
Team was proud of the expansion… Probably more proud that it actually functioned with little bugs, lame duck story of an entire civilization of 11 peoples.
This game is actually a scam, they built a weak skeleton of a game then had the mods fix it all the while charging money from us.
Stop, you’ll hurt Emil’s fee-fees again.
I own Starfield and enjoyed playing it. I was playing a second modded playthrough, but then Bethesda dropped the Shattered Space DLC and the update broke all my mods. I haven’t gone back since.
Sweet Jesus, I paid 95$ 🍁 for this 💩.
one angry empty hate of the game
and not a single argument
Hahahahaha 90% yeah for sure 😂
C’mon, soon the game will come to your PS5, so it can begin your “path of redemption” 😂
I was hyped af for starfield, not because of their promises, but because it was skyrim but in space, but somehow they screwed that up so much that even the modders gave up on it…
The biggest concern is that Bethesda is becoming lazy and using modders to update the game for them as they take a cut for the paid mods
The whole fallout and elder scrolls are established franchises doesn’t work, 99% of that audience hasn’t gone farther back than fallout 3 or oblivion.
This is why I rather play No Man’s Sky or Space Engineers, those games a build with the sandbox survival in mind over rpg mechanics, (and NMS also has slightly better rpg system too)
I will never understand how the same people who are so critical of Bethesda’s writing enjoyed the Fallout show, when the Fallout show is literally Bethesda’s writing at its finest, with several retcons even
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, If Starfield was a surprise expansion to Fallout 4 it would’ve blown Everyone out of the Water. Every minute of Gameplay feels like the you’re playing an unfinished Demo. Finally taking Fallout to space would’ve made the Fans happy and allowed them to virtually print money. But instead they made this boring crap so they could compete with the Outer Worlds.
Isnt Starfield game that honored some dude that did not make it past release? How f… your model has to be to waste such landmark?
This was the game that made me almost abandon playing any Bethesda games as a whole. My disgust was maxed out. I got the Ultimate Edition (Yes, this was stupid) and was sold an Ultimate dump. And they had nerve to tell people they’re not having fun because they’re not doing it right on Steam reviews. 🤦🏽🤦🏽
Edit: 30 hours in as i was coping that this was a good game, Barrett completely disappeared. That was the moment i realized i got swindled.
I have no intention to spend any more money on Starfield, nor do I have any desire to even reinstall the game.
Starfield is in obvious attempt to build a single player game platform meant to provide continuous revenue to Bethesda. It was never meant to be a game for players.
All they had to do was make Elder Scolls in space.
It was literally fallout in space
It was not shattered space that drove players away. It was how boring the main game was. I think most initial players never even checked the expansion.
It was way too big for what it contained. Like was like the Privater games in terms of scale and about the same level of content.
Perhaps if they hadn’t stripped out every good and fun system from the engine, the gameplay would be functional, perhaps if they actually wrote a story instead of following Emil’s stumped “KISS ” rule, the game would have been liked.
A bad game with a good story can survive, a boaring game with no story I’d DOA
Hey todd here’s an idea. Fire half your dead weight and hire competent devs and writers.
Fail-Field is such a disappointment !
I played4 hours of starfield on release day. Uninstalled the next day and never thought to download again
I have a feeling a major part of why starfield feels so plain an empty/boring is because they did thst by design to increase people’s desire to buy mods turning starfield into concurrent revenue, the game is clearly built to be slate perfect for molding loads of empty planets for new poi’s and mission multiple factions ship building apartments ect… loads of areas of fame design ripe for modding, 😅
I still say STARFIELD WAS A GREAT BASE T BUILD ON….. the problem was it IS just a bare bones base and Bethesda in their ever increasing arrogance ignored Mod Support for too long leading to the disinterest of the modding community which Bethesda will never admit is a big component of what makes their games special.
TOAD Howard is WASHED UP!!! HE MUST BE REMOVED!!! Creatively BANKRUPT!!!
Theres not one thing about this game that doesn’t enrage me
Starfield felt like a game specificaly built for modders take over and continue to build the rest of the game while saying moders arent that neccisary to our games by not releasing the proper tools until the game basicaly died and any hype to mod it has already evaporated.
The main and side quest stories were not horrible and enough of them we actualy kinda fun. But navigating to them, finding them, and finding more fun stuff in those areas were basicaly a load screan chore list.
The gun play wasnt really bad but the ai and bullet spungieness on higher difficulties were more harmfull while the difficulty levels were as usefull as a snale trying to work as a bartender making a simple cocktail.
And exploring every location in the game was as borring and futile as lurking on redit post you disagree.
ho wow who would have known …pff of course triple A are fucked thanks to share holders money f.. everything
only profits are left
the best Bethesda game recently have been oblivion remastered…AND THE REMASTERED WASENT EVEN DONE BY THEM
You forgot re$#%^ed inventory system, that made you skip looting anything after a while to just ease up on the annoyance, eventually leading to skipping on exploring PoIs at all, cause if you don’t pick the s41t up, then why bother.
And you also forgot that after experiencing what’s listed above and focusing on quests, you discover those quests are the writing equivalent of unspiced oatmeal – bland, tasteless and unexciting.
I gave up after reaching the cowboy’s questline and ending the entire 3 generation family drama with one persuassion check right after arriving…
it took me a fat minute to remember what was “Starfield”, i kept mistaking it for Star Citizen
Old schooler here Todd. Loved morrowind on release. I skipped starfield Todd. Idc at all for sub par shit. Bought doom its ok..I’m not going to autobuy shit ever again Todd. Including es6 todd
I guess I’m one of the few who actually liked the game. I got really into the story and have been playing on and off because of having babies lol
I enjoyed the game but once you finish every quest there isn’t anything to do. I’m not paying for fan content.
I just never understood why they did Starfield in the first place. You got Fallout and Elder Scrolls, two of the most fan favorite IPs. Starfield just seemed so pointless
I genuinely think most of the game was made with ai.
Bethesda will shutdown servers…
The biggest problem with stsrfield is the lack of and enjoyment of adventure there was no sense of adventure at all, what makes fallout and Skyrim great was that enjoyment of adventure and exploring and interesting quest ect, Skyrim is your basic fantasy adventure ,fallout is your post apocalyptic adventure in an interesting and unique world, starfield was supposed to be a space adventure bit the worst part of the game is literally adventuring 😅,
The idea was neat and had a lot of potential. The execution made Fyre Fest look successful by comparison.
Todd destroyed Bethesda with the lazy asset flip that was Fallout 76. He should have been retired after that mess, along with Emil Peligoni. Both of them are resting on their laurels. They’re trading on past successes. They think that they can poop out anything and it will fly, but that’s not the way it works. The lack of passion and creativity in Starfield is stunning.
If Bugthesda learns anything from this whole fiasco, its to keep Todd far FAR away from Elder Scrolls 6. They cant afford another flop.
When a game is bad nobody talks about it.
When a game is great, haters won’t stop making vids and commenting on how “bad” they say it is… Even years later. Lol
I told people this game looked like last gen and was not fun when it came out. I was lambasted and told I was a hater. 🤦♂️
Where are the sci-fi FPS RPG alternatives?
Qanga is still very early access.
There are NO OTHER options.
Bethesda are a middling DEI infested corporation devoid of real creativity.
This is such a frustrating situation.
2025 super modded shitfield is ok… base game is junk
“…Years of free content”
YOOOoooooo!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! You must be out of your F’n mind if Bethesda would EVER, for ANY REASON, but out years of free content
edit: ROFL
Shattered Space is (imop) purposely cut content from the main game, made into paid dlc.
What sucks is it’s a game I know I would want to play because it’s a game if made by other studios I would enjoy. I see it as a cozy game I guess. You can do the story but roleplayin in the world is where the “fun” seems to be at.
I want Emil gone, his writing hurt this game in so many ways. The games creation was also in a way for paid mods. There’s a paid mod so good and rich in content that it’s considered the dlc instead of shattered space and that’s telling something.
For me the magic of the game ends after the character creator which sucks because if the story and the writing was good, a lot would be forgiven.
Starfield is the reminder of No Man’s Sky’s first days. But I don’t think Bethesda is gonna go the same way Hello Games did when they fixed it, they’re too lazy for that.
I still play no man sky and Elite Dangerous I have not touched StarField since it’s 3rd month
Funnily enough, I just got back into this game now that they’ve somewhat optimized the game, I barely got 15 fps when the game launched (I can run CP 2077 on maxed settings at 60FPS). I’ve had to download 60+ mods that honestly should be in vanilla Starfield but I’m actually enjoying the game somewhat now. The writing is still absolute dog water but there is no escaping that I suppose.
The only reason I play this game is because of Star Wars Genesis.
The only enjoyment I get from Starfield is videos like this
There isn’t a game out there I want to see get saved more than Starfield. It really is a tragedy. It could have been so great but bethesda chose NOT to go on a crusade to save Todd Howard’s baby in the same way that Cyberpunk 2077 got saved and became one of the best games of the decade. They NEED to save this game to save their company and reputation. Deadass.
Starfield does not deserve the hate it gets. Its fine for what it is.
LKHD is one of a few youtubers that still puts quality content that is always a joy to watch. I probably would’ve stopped using Youtube altogether if not for this guy. Appreciate you, man! Greetings from Finland.
ngl i forgot starfield ever existed and now im pissed off again i wasted $100 on it lol
Not necessarily a bad game but the excessive loading screens ruin the entire experience. It’s the one thing that just make the game absolutely unplayable for me
Cyberpunk was buggy at launch, but at least there was a good core gameplay loop and an interesting story. Starfield has literally no redeeming qualities
Bethesda devs are long gone it’s just Microsoft employees now just punching in for the check don’t expect anything from Xbox Bethesda
Played it through the intro, it bored me sensless. Never went back to it.
At this point they really should just cut their losses and stop wasting time keeping hope for this sad pathetic game.
I havethe base game installed and heavily modded. But havent played it since…. somewhere last year?
It cost me a lot of money this game. I literally bought a series X the Starfield controller and skin and bought the dlc. Sunk over 100hrs into it. Didn’t play the dlc and no longer have a series X it was definitely the poorest Bethesda game. I had some fun but it was minimal. I worry for the future from them.
Bethesda did not have the moral decency to fix their game, not that it was fixable, but they did not even attempt, just abandoned.
I only want to see how bad the next DLC is going to be, so we can facepalm at them again.
Why are we talking about player dropoffs of single player games
I just want to delete it from my Steam library, because I cannot refund. And I do not think I would ever care if I would do that.
they need to stop with the creation crap content and expand the size of “cities”. even if it results in separate world spaces and cells, like fallout 3’s city. They also need to craft more random locations that are found dotted around landing zones on planets because there are way too little unique locations; they’re very repetitive.
If you are deceived once, the fault lies with the deceiver.
The second time, the fault lies with you.
The reasonable thing would be for them not to have any customers.
Starfield should have been marketed as a platform for mod building set in space. And even that would be bad because the game was made with outdated tools. Someone on the net said Bethesda is really good with making small, extremely dense maps, but not that good in making a big, huge open world, dense map. Bethesda’s tooling was not up to the task at all.
About once a month someone, somewhere starts a conversation about Starfield that almost always ends the same. Todd’s big project that he had dreamed of, delivered in the most forgettable package possible. Between the pre-generated maps, the bland NPCs, the set piece cities, the back to back loading screens, and the utter lack of actual content it is hard to quantify what is the worst thing about the game. The writing quality for quests was inconsistent at best. I don’t know what Bethesda could even do to salvage it at this point, sure making it so you feel like you actually fly your ship over having fast-travel bonanza might make people who enjoy their ships a more fulfilling experience, it’s still only one fix to many systems that need a second opinion.
If Starfield is that bad, then why do you keep talking about the game? I wouldn’t be surprised if you did the same thing with Cyberpunk.
Where can I find your games or mods? If not for the modding community, there wouldn’t be a Bethesda.
Don’t like the game? Don’t play it. I’m glad Cyberpunk survived.
The fact that there are still YouTubers hating on Starfield (2 years later) and so many people eagerly rushing to hate on the comments tells me just how much successful the game has been. If people doesn’t hate you, you must be doing something wrong
Shattered space was so good that I did three quests on the planet then went “screw these idiots” and left them to it. I think exited the game went “screw this game” and uninstalled it.
I was ‘in’ until I played the paid dlc — right after that I stopped playing…
It was a good test for the “new” engine, though. If anything, Starfield served THAT purpose.
I, for one, am certainly glad, they decided to test the engine on something, other than the next installment, of their beloved franchise… The Elder Scrolls VI.
TES VI, when it was first officially announced, became my most anticipated Bethesda game. As such, I was definitely not wanting it to be a… test subject.
Why do they keep slapping more paint on a turd? Waste of resources.
Remember how this was Bethesda ushering us into the next gen of gaming? I mean this was to be next level and then it came out and so many ppl defended it that it was just a product of high expectations.
Also can we point out that every time we see Todd Howard he’s wearing the same outfit… Is that why his game engines never change cuz he can’t afford to? At least the kid that came to school with the same outfit on had the excuse that he was poor.
this is terrible 😢
Funny how the hate towards Stargarbage lived longer than the actual shitty game lol.
I hate how insanely sterile the game feels and how none of the gameplay systems felt fleshed out in any single way. I somehow wasted 140 hours on the game, but that’s probably cus I may have fallen asleep a few times with the game on cus it’s so dang boring. I remember almost nothing about it.
I remember when i was skeptic before release and people called me a hater, those people long moved on from Starfield and forgot it ever existed…
I hope TES VI is amazing, but at this point it’s foolish to hope so.
I can do more in Dune Awakening, and thats a multiplayer game.
Starfield is a missed opportunity. They crammed a thousand empty “planets” into the world as a PR stunt and then filled it with copy/paste NPCs and forgettable missions. There was one, maybe two engaging quest lines in the whole game and the “end” was a flop (more of the same???). Very few unique, desirable items in the game that you had to go out and find and no DLC related to some of the game loops I found interesting (ship building and base building).
They bit off more than they could chew and it turned a really cool game into a massive disappointment. If they had released a good game and then 10-30 planets at a time (30-50/yr) as free DLC with STUFF TO DO on each one that could have been epic. Hell, they could have released a few free DLC (more content) and concurrent paid DLC (premium content) at the same time I would have been fine with that.
The worst part was them gaslighting their fans and saying WE didn’t understand the game. They lost me with that nonsense. FAFO
Oh boy, can’t wait for Bethesda and Todd Howard to start blaming seamless travel for whatever reason they think it makes the game worse
I tried to play this piece of garbage. 30h. Now, to make up for my lost time, I like and comment on every video where someone says how garbage this game is, no matter how obvious and redundant it may be.
Wild how this game is rated M. The whole game is a loading sim.
It will do better on the ps5
What’s starfield?
Wanna Go To Space *Loading Screen*. Get out of your Ship *Loading Screen*, Planetary Travel *Loading Screen*.
All I see here is standard “Bethesda Charm”
I still play it – and have since launch. Not sure why people who play Skyrim on consoles look down on Starfield. It’s a solid 8/10 IMO (the Shattered Space DLC was a trainwreck). TBH, I have little doubt that a lot of those negative reviews are from people who have an ulterior objective.
I actually downloaded it again last night , started it up, the quickly uninstalled
I’m just hoping the expanse game is good
Before the reception, this was Todd Howard’s magnum opus, which he has since dropped that claim. Anyone somehow still playing is a mark
Let me guess: you’re low on funds. This YT’er can’t live without hating Starfield every certain time… Pitiful.
Im a PlayStation guy, with all the presentations and promises before launch i was planning on buying a current Xbox just to play this, im so glad I waited
At least Bethesda fanboy/girls are giving Todd all their money for him to keep buying $400+ leather jackets and $12k Rolexes. As a reviewer said, ” If they keep licking your a$$ all the time, your a$$ ain’t gonna be getting better.”
I was one of those idiots that bought a series Xbox console just for this game. After playing the game for a couple of hours, I stopped playing, sold the Xbox, and slapped myself. Lesson learned.
No, they haven’t. All you’re doing is fear mongering.
Emil is the problem The whole game would need to be rewritten to be anything more than it is.
I played it recently got bored and then played Cyberpunk again and that reminded me what a real rpg is supposed to be like. No boring fetch quests and side quests that are actually varied. Even the updates give you free new quests to play, unlike that creation club trash.
I forgot about this game. 😂
problem with besthesda is… that are not releasing their games 2002
Bethesda are a laughing stock.
The MOST forgettable thing about BGS is Satrfiled…. See I do not even remember how to spell it! What was we talking about again???
Ok unpopular opinion: i am actually having fun with the game at the moment. I know its shite but i have a bucket full of fun on it at the moment.
Starfield was a joke in 2023 and 2024, too.
Im glad everyone now knows Todd is a brazen af liar. Thats all you need to know about Bethesda. Post skyrim SSE being updated so that mods break and you subscribe to their shitty mod platform and ofcourse fallout76, I will never ever buy another bethesda product and no one ever should.
I highly recommend “No Man’s Sky ” instead.
Elden Ring is selling 30+ million with SotE selling 10+ Starfailed is doomed
You can’t send a puppy clean up it’s own mess. BGS can’t fix Starfield, or there reputation.
I dropped the game 1-2 hours in when a quest had me fast travel to a random bar somewhere just to talk to someone. Then had me fast travel across the universe just to talk to someone else on their behalf. You telling me casual intergalactic travel is possible but not space phones?
the only people that like starfield are people that drink paint
It’s a shame too, the ship building mechanic was fire but the story and core gameplay was very lack luster
A space game with no space. Good summery
To be honest. Yea, this game sucks. It was in all likelihood suppose to be a modders paradise. If you think about it, one universe? Or whatever for a set amount of planets in a map. Could have been modded to be anything. However the game was so terrible that modders don’t have incentive or joy for it.
guess i’m 1%
Starfield was doomed as soon as the modders gave up.
The only thing that excites me about this game is the modders turning it into the ultimate star wars game.
Outstanding – the time between nothing has been reduced.
No lie… sony ponies forgot this exclusive xbox game that was originally going to be a sony playstation exclusive, but now they can forget that trauma by learning that gta online and gta 6 will need ID requirements. 🤥
😂🤣😂
…
Starwhat?
I was in my early 20s when Skyrim came out, at this rate I could be in my 40s by the time ES6 releases, and based on Bethesda’s decline there’s a fair chance it will suck 🤦♂️
Well, my reaction to this video, like many most likely, was ‘Oh yeah, starfield’
Why are you even still making content on this irrelevant game?
Supposed to be Todd’s baby lol
didn’t people say it was going to kill star citizen?
Was so excited for it, yet never even tried it…
When the Creation “Club” is removed I might maybe want to play the game again.
But with what VISA, Mastercard and others are doing to the games industry then I have a very bad feeling.
They will need to release a lot more content, both free and paid DLC before I would consider installing the game again.
And the game would have to be released on GOG.
One sec, I need to go take a Bethesda.
People still coping saying this was a mistake. No, this is the “best” the actual bethesda could make.
Dead games
Geez, the opening is pretty damning. Also, it’s very true.
The creation club is such a scam. it’s essentially offering you mod fixes for a problem Bethlesda created.
Bethesda has lost a lot of credibility, but unlike Bioware and Obsidian I somehow still have hope for them.
If it wasnt for a week price change I woudn’t be able to ask for a refund on Starscam.
Thanks to that I manage to return that boring ass game.
I am never buying any future Bethesda games, they will need to clean full house just to give them one last chance.
THE GAME GETS GOOD AFTER 25 HOURS, SWEAR ON MY MOM
i think the best thing thats ever gonna happen for starfield is the completion of the Star Wars genesis mod
ive been following that project for a while now and its def gonna be the only reason for me to ever touch that game again once its completed lol
remember the saying in entertainment. it can be good or bad, but never boring.
All they need is an Anime adaptation…
Dont forget the airless moon that for some reason have sleeping bags in it lol who sleeping there ?
I tried playing a few days ago and the bugs have gotten worse somehow
impossible im told everything is fine and that game is solid and somehow it will be a best selling in the ps5 lol
Indy games like No Man’s Sky have better features than Starfield.
They wanted Skyrim, but they didn’t make Skyrim. They should have done what they did with Skyrim and just give us one part of a bigger world.
One system with explorable planets and a TONNE of stuff to discover and explore would have been much better than a whole galaxy that you can’t explore and is empty
The usual geniuses at Bethesda thought the modders will fill the empty world and fix the issues.
They tried to pull this with “Fallout 76” as well.
They are not to be trusted or taken seriously anymore.
It was always a joke, some of us saw it for what it was before buying it.
all the endless fun I was immediately bored after the first playthrough lmao.
I’ve spent the most time in the ship builder and flying around and also building outposts and chaining them for resource and crafting. I didn’t even consider buying the expansion after I heard that it’s basically cut content from the base game and not worth it either way. I have forgotten almost everything EXCEPT the tedious act of upgrading the powers and NG+ing
EDIT: No matter what they are doing with Starfield moving forward, I won’t be spending any more money on that.
It’s called game rotation you knucklehead and like anything else niche it will have people playing it for a long time. I just played through ME legendary 1-3 and started an Andromeda game and started a Starfield game when the beta dropped. Also playing Wow classic MOP and Cyberpunk 2077. I think you creators have failed on this one for not recognizing how strong a theme can be to some. I would play Starfield before Claire Obscure any day of the week!
Average of 4k players still, that’s not dead. Videos like this don’t help. Just mod the fucking game and stop whining
played through twice, didnt bother with the dlc. deleted from console
Both KCD’s and cyberpunk have shown me how bad bethesda games really are.
im not shocked at all. this game was trash. Bethesda experimented with procedurally generated planets and failed miserably. Just play no mans sky
I think the underlying problem with the video game industry is that its blatantly corporatized nature just makes the idea of auteur developers meaningless marketing fluff. Todd who? You mean some inept corporate executive that wasted the work of hundreds of employees because he wanted a bigger bonus than last year? We don’t own games so why buy them? Video games are a waste of time and money so why does anyone play them? Corporations that only care about money demanding we waste our money on literally nothing. Seeing what the industry has turned into today makes me wish I never supported it to begin with.
Whatever, it was exactly what I expected (fallout in space) with some extra mini-games/vehicles. It’s no more empty than all the fallouts or elderscrolls. It’s basically the same thing, but has ship fights. Win.
Honestly thought this was already a dead game, no one I know plays or even talks about it.
How dare you!
Bethesda is the perfect example of a company that if you keep giving passes, they’re just gonna get progressively worse and it was a perfect example of how they made fallout 76 and they failed the player based so completely at launch with that game and they didn’t learn any lesson from it.
Bethesda is the epitome of release it now will fix it later and they might not even come back later to do it
To be fair, it was already a joke in 2023 and 2024.
Them stating that they enjoy this joke of a game tells you that you should no longer trust them to make a quality game.
If a chef stated they enjoyed the taste of a skunk scraped off a highway, I would no longer trust that person to cook food that old be considered edible. The same applies here.
It’s good enough for a playthrough, but has no real replay value. the new game plus mechanic gets boring real fast.
Why do we need to cover this game in 2025 to begin with? It was a subpar game that everyone forgot about.
I’m so afraid for The Elder Scrolls VI right now…
Emil is the prime example of a nepo baby… Did he work at Blizzard for 7 years too?!
For Bethesda theres no winning in this situation. If they dont try to flesh out the game and add content, then Starfield is officially dead, and their attempt at creating a new IP is a complete flop. If they do keep adding content for what everybody deems a dead game already, then people are gonna be mad at Bethesda for not shifting their focus onto other more successful things like the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout. Those games are getting delayed even longer to keep a game nobody wants alive.
Seeing every achievement I got on Steam in the Shattered Space DLC be a “rare Steam achievement” made me sad lol even the one you get for completing the intro to the DLC is like “7% of players have this achievement” it’s seriously bad
This game could’ve been so damn good if anyone except bethesda made it and honestly I’m expecting the exact same situation from them with TES6 because they cant write a good story to save their life now and the old as hell engine holds them back so much but they refuse to change they just keep polishing the same turd over and over again hoping it will get better but a turd will still be a turd no matter how much you polish it
Even mods cant save this one
Bugthesda, Bugthesda Never Changes (as long as Todd is in charge).
“DLC will make this better” oh boy, pay more money so it’ll hopefully fix what they messed up in the first place. It’s like paying the restaurant to precook my already ruined steak
I forgot about Starfield until I saw this video. Now I remember it’s a loading screen simulator.
I forgot Starfield was a thing. After it came out I played it on my friends computer and hated it, there was no innovation from previous titles more of a regression. Daggerfall was good game relative to the time, but Starfield felt like Daggerfall with all the fast-traveling you HAVE to do. Considering the nothing between anything. Then all the bugs and crashes and if I remember correctly some of the bugs and crashes are ones that could be found in previous titles. Then there was the crappy map! I have lost all interest in Bethesda future title, including Elder Scrolls 6, because the best title they have launched in a decade is the Oblivion Remastered.
Starfield is a fake game. A handful of sci-fi tropes crushed together without any rhyme or reason, held together by a wish and prayer, with no point to exist.
Uninstalled a long time ago. No soul, atmosphere or passion. Just extremely boring.
Other than ship building, which is really just virtual lego spaceships, there’s pretty much nothing to do that isn’t a boring fetch/kill quest. Also, fuck them for trying to put stuff that would make the game better in a store.
**points gun in a constellation spacesuit** “Always has been”
It was the first Bethesda game I never finished at least once. I just got so bored of it about halfway through I uninstalled it. Even Outer Worlds beat this as a better space game.
I watched a friend play fallout 2 on their PC in college. I played fallout 3 and New Vegas. They were all amazing. Fallout 4 was a disappointment. And so I refused to buy fallout 76 or starfield. I love voting with my wallet. Fuck Bethesda.
I dropped it like a sack of bricks for a while and finally came back with Shattered Space. I really had to just dump all expectations out of my head like a lobotomy in order to find some enjoyment in the game, but I will admit that I had fun playing Shattered Space. The expansion’s story and handcrafted environment was more engaging than the entire main story of the base game; If all the content was like Shattered Space, I feel like the game would have been received a little better from the get-go.
I’m not making excuses for Bethesda, I was extremely disappointed in the game and to an extent I still am, but I also refuse to be an immovable cremudgian about it. I’ve played worse experiences than Starfield. There are things I enjoy doing in it when I play it, like boarding hostile ships and taking down the crew.
Sci-fi and space exploration are fantastic genres for gaming, Bethesda is it’s own worst enemy and starfailed is the result.
It was a joke the day it launched.
Bethesda itself has been a bad joke since F76. Not even a joke as good as a dad joke, or a pun.
I bought an Xbox specifically for this and Halo Infinite back in 2021. At this point I’m just gonna use it as an upgraded 360.
I occasionally see it in my Reddit feed, people showing off nice screenshots, new ship builds and hoping that the game wasn’t totally abandoned.
For me the lore in the RPG games is important and the lore in Starfield simply is basically non existent. Also lack of content.
didn’t shill game “journalists” try to gaslight us into thinking the game was a 7 or 8/10?
I still have an unopened collectors edition, the one with the watch…. wonder if i can get a refund.
Starfield has nothing to offer. Also, be wary of mods that are on the Creation Club. They are not guaranteed to work or even patched (see Noir Penthouse, Fallout 4.) Also, why even bother if the story is that… dumb. Come on. You become stillborn, not space born. Let’s go driving around to see less detail than Far Cry 3? No thanks. Microsoft Gaming didn’t begin its downfall with the $7B (what a scam) of Deadtheseda, but it certainly helped show the complete incompetency and virtue-signaling hubris of the executives in Redmond. They don’t see gamers as people. They see them as small ATMs to withdraw a monthly amount and a few dollars here and there in exchange for TEMPORARY, digital garbage.
I am so, so, so very glad that Todd’s magnum opus was a complete and utter flop. If only his massively inflated ego would let him see why that is.
I have tried to like this game. Bought it on sale.
AI forgets you exist if you duck behind some paper wall.
AI also can’t shoot.
Ship building is cool but the ship building mechanics themselves suck.
Space Combat sucks its boring.
World has NO life.
The only thing that interested me was the starship building…although it would have been nice if we could build the larger ships. Still, even the ship building got old after a month.
After Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and this game, I’m very convinced Skyrim’s massive success was a fluke.
*Bethesda* : the modders will fix it!
*Modders* : this thing is so broken it’s not even worth the time to list them. Forget it!
Tbh I was hoping bethesda was going to do the trinity of genre worlds: fantasy world (goblins, elves, magic etc..), post-apocalypse (mutants, zombies, cobbled together vehicles, weapons and clothes) and sci-fi (spaceships, planets, aliens and laser weapons). Imagine all the aliens bethesda could create, just like the elder scrolls has in creatures.
The moment I heard there was no aliens I was upset but it might still be good. Who knows? Maybe the story and gameplay would be good? They went for realism (apparently), which tbh fantasy is far better. Who wants to sit and watch a spaceship in real time fly from galaxy to galaxy? It’s boring, so most games let you timeskip. That and the game itself had some fantasy in place for its story which still eneded up boring.
Just saying, the best part of star wars wasn’t the politics, the running about or the slow ship movements. It was the lightsabers, the fights, the ship battles and the one thing we all agree is the best: the aliens. Especially the cantina scene, that is easily the top 5 best parts of star wars.
AAA shovelware
I remember saying this shit would fail, i got cooked in the comments lmao. Now, im looking at you EA /DICE / Battlefield 6 😈.
Yet again the developer (TODD) blames the players. “We didn’t make a crap game, you just have unrealistic standards!”. Todd’s legacy is going to be the slow murder of BGS.
Tried getting a refund but did not work. Worse game I got lmao
From the start to 0:50 also remember THIS WAS TODD’S MAGNUM OPUS…….wow…what happened? So worried ES6 will be the end of ES…i mean everything ends right? but Damn……
So much for Bethesda’s big 3: Fallout, Elder Scrolls and Starfield. Still boggles my mind they released a scifi IP, and there’s not even playable aliens.
a lot of xbox fans said starfield will be game will be generation lololol
like 10 creators i watch put out a starfield video in the last 30m. what in the simulation?
It is okay to like the game though. As flawed as it is, I feel like some people hate on it to such a degree that it’s a badnwagon.
I had a little fun at first, but the more you play the worse it feels. It’s the first Bethesda game I own that I uninstalled (Skipped Fallout 76) I do think it had potential, but they clearly don’t know how to make their own formula for games anymore.
I needed a club like afterlife in mass effect. I got bug eyed overweight NPC’s and neon dad bods dancing in tellatubbie outfits. Todd Coward 😂
People say it was a letdown, but how did anyone even had hype for it? That the story will suck was a given since their last games also had lackluster stories, dumbing down mechanics was also expected this is Something they do for a while now. And after they announced the amount of planets i dont get how anyone thought that it will be Something other then a empty rng hell hole.
I forgot it was installed… Not for long
While ie joyed this video, there weren’t enough loading screens to break up the content
‘Death Stranding’ built this in a cave! With a box of scraps!
I tried to like Starfield when it launched, but its impossible. Everything was just so souless.. even more so after playing Cyberpunk and No Man Sky. Starfield try to borrow from both and fail MISERABLY.
The moment that made me just stop and quit the game for good back then was finding settlers walking around airless barren planets like its earth like(like you mentioned at the start). Did they even care at all about at least generating open settlements on HABITABLE worlds with an atmosphere?? Jesus.. the amount of stupid thinds that break immersion in this game is astonishing but that just made me go “no, im done.”
It’s not cool to hate on Starfield anymore. Stop rehashing the same rant and let the game fade into obscurity.
You mean a scam like everyone said it was.
“Skyrim was an outstading success! What’s next, Todd?”
“How about we sell a game at premium price but we take the game part out of it?”
This was not a videogame release, this was BGS attempt on making a platform to monetize mods from the community, generating passive income.
The “game” portion was secondary, which is why nobody wants to engage with it, we have recycled portions of both Skyrim and Fallout 4, Starborn powers is just Dragonborn shouts. And the DLC was such a joke that you can’t even see it on the Steam Player count graph, it’s just a flatline.
that moment when micro transactions is the only new content
Xtards really were bragging that this would be game of the generation 😂😭
Joining factions was pointless to me. I hoped to be a leader but disappointed.
I’m still hoping we get an Enderal level mod for this game. Its the perfect playing ground for it (and it desperately needs it). I know there’s a modder currently doing a phenomenal job creating a Star Wars overhaul mod, but I want to see if someone can do something original, ala Enderal. Unlikely, but I’m hoping.
Another hate video about Starfield on YouTube. Must be a slow news day.
So ashamed of how many hours I wasted looking for good content.
I was shitting on this game to my gf the other day and legit couldn’t remember what it was called LOLL uninspiring and boring
Was The “2025” In The Title Really Necessary?
I had my doubts about this game so held off on buying it and damn that was the best decision I ever made, second only to my marriage
And with no interesting alien races, story, etc, etc
I’ll replay mass effect trilogy a thousand times before punishing myself one minute playing starfield, thank you.
Great video, your videos and deep dives are always amazing, thank you for the great work!
I really do wind up installing this from my library when I hear new mods etc only to shelve it. Nothing good about this game
It’s sterile, bland, boring…safe.
The lore is filled with all sorts of cool stuff but we dont get to see them or there is like 1-2 bits related to them (example, big war that ended a short while before the start of the game)
I reinstalled it to see if it had gotten any better but it wouldn’t even launch.
I watched an awesome video from
Manley reviews totally criticizing the story of cyberpunk and it made so much sense,when you watch it you will think how do so many people fall for the way cd project red does weak storytelling,until you watch its hard to tell you how bad the story is.
It’s kinda cringe that you guys keep expecting a story from Todd. This game is built for dual monitor setups. On one monitor you run the game, running to quest markers mindlessly, and on the other monitor you watch youtube speedruns of other games, or tv shows you watched previously. That’s how I managed to put in 10 hours to the game before I quit. Which is my fault because first season of House MD is also cringe. I would have finished the game if I chose Mad Men. And that’s not Todd’s fault.
No lie, I totally forgot I played this game
ofc they quit. its not a live service game. Duh
I’ll go back once that starwars mod is finished
It has barely 4k concurrent players
Witcher 3 has 17k
BG3 has 45k
Bruh
git up uh get get down Star-fie-Uld is a joke in your town
Starfield was a joke at launch
This game has so much potential. I believe it could still be fixed and made into the game we expected. But there is no will on behalf of the Devs or Bethesda.
It is as if they don’t care and just forcing a product they like rather than what consumers want. This is how a company goes bankrupt.
the older you get the worse that feeling gets, the feeling of playing a game you paid for and realizing its a pile of shit.
been awhile since i made that mistake and starfield was one of them. i didn’t expect great but i at least expected “ok” i got “i forgot about this right away”
Todd Howard needs to retire, try something different. Thanks for your contributions. However, His design philosophy is from 2 decades ago
Somebody need to fire Todd Howard.
you know i still have bot finished the main story line in the first universe
i should finish ^^
Ik it was bad when the lewd side of modding just doesnt exist
Star Wars Genesis mod list is the only reason why I still play it.
I have concern for anyone who would give a positive review for this game.
awful
Wow you people are STILL hating on Starfield? Must suck to not have any ideas for videos.
And NO fixes in 10 months for the game crashing whenever Any type of save is initiated.
I received a response from them And they had it posted on their site in OCTOBER of last year that this was a KNOWN issue. Here we are. Still screwin’ the pooch and mucking about with creation club additions. Which of you bought any, and have this save game issue crop up, your money and time are GONE
I finally learned my lesson about preordering because of this game.
I knew this was going to be garbage the moment they announced how many planets we’ll be able to visit. Anyone surprised at this game should get their IQ tested. They won’t like the result.
And yet here i am, having dropped at least 40 hours in the past week or two, into a new playthrough having a blast. I feel like im the only one that loves this flawed gem.
I guess that Bethesda expected that players will fix and create content themselves as they did with other games.
Only thing making me play starfield is star wars genesis. Its a shame cause i really wanted to love the game
Could have been a Great Game if it was the Bethesda Devs of the Old Days, they Loved Videos Games. It really appears that many modern devs don’t love video games now days or even play them. Very few of the Modern Developers or Game Story Writers have the experience needed for a game of this scope, others just don’t have the skills for the positions they hold.
Clicked on the video just to leave this comment, it was a joke when it came out. Why would you expect it to get into a better place
No lie, I actually forgot this game existed
Which is exactly why I keep sticking with “No Man’s Sky”. I mean that game is out of this world! (no pun intended)
I recently gave the game another chance and it feels sterile, no world building, dull characters, shallow story, and the exploration is plain boring.
Why are you even talking about it, nothing substantial has happened with this game in like eight months
Flogo- Slider Celebration
Starfield was a big let down.
