Bethesda really made Starfield™
In this video we discuss the whole of #Starfield, bar Shattered Space (coming soon). It’s sad to see Bethesda fall from their once grace. The Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition really was a hit in the stomach for all fans of their games too… What has this company become? The Elder Scrolls VI is in grave danger…

I still can’t get over the fact that you literally did a 10 hour everything wrong/cinemasins style video about Starfield.
3:00:00 I give up, this video is so dumb.
2:02:00 another guy using cyberpunk to criticize everything that isn’t cyberpunk. gosh… this video is bad, man…
almost 2 hours in, is this 10 hours of nitpicking little insignificant details? Because that’s how it feels like so far, goddamm.
I’ve watched other reviewers and they usually throw out the line “I could go on but then this video would be 10 hours long” and I always thought they were exaggerating. Not this mad lad tho.
Starfield = Westworld
I’ve got North of 200 hours on this game. I don’t really know why, but I love it. It has become one of my favorite games. There is just so much to do and so many different experiences to have. I don’t like Bethesda games; they have too much dialogue. I plaay Fallout 3 and NV as if they were a postal game, and I can’t stand Morrowind. I’m no fan of Bethesda games, but Starfield is just something different. I haven’t had this much fun with a game in years – since I was a child. There are problems with the story and continuity but I don’t care. I don’t care about lore or stories. I would literally die on the cross for this game.
bethesda was never great to be begin with
Day 3 of watching this video. I’m only 4 and a half hours in. This video is keeping me awake at my job in the last hours of the day. Thank you good sir.
Starfield feeding content creators
I’m up to the part about games that have “soul” and I HAD to subscribe. (also in hopes that we’ll eventually get a 10 hour video on Stalker 2 😂)
Which to me is a game that has souls for days.
if you haven’t played it yet I highly recommend it.
LOVE your video and perspective so far! Definitely taking my time with this one 🍿
Fuck me this is long, that’s what she said
2:26:57 my waifu
I played Starfield earlier this year. I tried to give it a fair shake, I really did. I put at least 200 hours into it across three playthroughs. But at some point it all boiled over: I sat in the spaceship I couldn’t even bother to name, crewed with five bozos who’s names I forgot and the robot I stole from Constellation, and I just couldn’t bring myself to jump again.
“Oh another Starfield Bad video? Ugh. Oh wait its 10 hours? I’d better watch it then”
I listened to this at work and it was better than Starfield, saved me 200 hours of my life too!
this better not be BS. As a Starfield Enjoyer I want good arguments and perspectives, nothing like that fever dream called “Starfield is a fake game” ugh… we’ll see.
morrowind was peak. almost 25 years later bethesda is no more. i gave up hope after fo4. they made a TON of money on skyrim. they could have hired talent. the interest is simply not there. being sold to MS will not improve anything. it will take a miracle for them to release TES6 that is not complete garbage.
Ultralong and ultrawide
Woo yeah 10 hour long video on why bethesda game is big slop! Creetosis cinema time
10 hours is fucking ridiculous. This shit needs to stop.
I have been waiting for someone to take a long crack at this game. Thanks homie
Locke was right
I love how we have critiques of starfield that are longer than most ppl’s playtime of this game
fell asleep to this twice already (compliment) i love this journey of a video., more of an adventure than starfield for sure. i feel as though viewing this video has more unique playthroughs as well. some people are watching it. some are listening. some are working. some are resting. im faded as fuck rn.
Adderall, btw
Regarding the Fallout 4 hair…it may be from that game, but without the physics that the community added.
I’ve watched so much starfield critique, that If i watch this one in its entirety I’ll almost meet my starfield playtime. And I’ve played it for 80 hours.
And here I thought that PatricianTV’s 8-hour video was the longest one I would watch about Starfield, and that Lily Simpson’s 10-hour Harry Potter video was the longest one I would ever watch about a piece of media
Stealth is broken in starfield, so I had the same exact issue in the Ryujin quest. completely bs it’s not fixed.
Nah I’m good lol
This was a great cosplay of Joseph Anderson well done! Lol in all seriousness wonderful job on the video you def gained a fan here
Bethesda will never change or improve until Todd and Emil are gone, unfortunately. As Todd’s obsession with simplification and streamlining has gathered more and more momentum, and as Emil has gotten promoted higher and higher on the creative control ladder, their games have just gotten worse and worse. More soulless and empty, more nonsensical and stupid, less and less innovative, it’s been a very clear, gradual downward curve. They’re promoting all the wrong people, their culture keeps getting worse, turnaround continues to be crazy in comparison to other companies, they seem determined to remove all imagination and creativity from the company. It’s like they want the whole company to mirror the evil, emotionless former lawyer that used to be their man behind the curtain; you’d think things would have improved after he finally died, but no such luck.
Post-Morrowind Bethesda has always been a company that succeeded despite itself. Despite every effort that Todd took to dumb the games down to oblivion (ha, get it?) and despite all the company’s rampant anti-consumer, anti-player behavior, and despite all the other studios and games that they screwed over or bought and destroyed, they’ve still managed to come out on top and stay in the good graces of the players. Karma has finally caught up to them, though. Their chickens have come home to roost and they’re reaping what they’ve sown. And they absolutely, positively deserve it.
Fun fact, it was possible to die in the tutorial by walking into the beams fired by the other miners but they actually patched that.
Another 10 hours of “Starfield mid!”? that’s going straight in my basket. 👍
Another 10 Hour long video about a Bethesda game?
That’s what I call a fine addition to my collection!
will never understand how a 7 minute video is too long for me to learn something important but 10 hours on a game I never played makes my brain light up.
The shipbuilding is pretty solid. Too bad it’s ruined by the fact that newgame+ takes all your stuff away, to include your ship. It’d be nice to at least have a blueprint for it/them so you don’t loose hours of invested time.
So many of the design choices feel like they did it cause they could, not to make a cohesive whole.
On the topic of the crimson fleet chick sitting awkwardly. Contrast that with the first time you see Astrid from the dark brotherhood in Skyrim. You know what I’m talking about.
Starborn don’t shit ™
Well. looks like i have something to watch for tomorrow
I wish there were more wizards in this game
It’s crazy to see people finally waking up and seeing that Bethesda is pretty shit. Like, bro, I’m shocked no one saw that with their fallout 3 disaster.
Is it weird that I am more excited to watch 10 hour video of a game I did not enjoy playing? I completed the main quests, and then was eager to get the hell away from it.
Yay another long ass video I can put in the background while I try to sleep
early on in the game when it sends you to the sol system i went to check out THE moon, our moon, Luna.
i landed and saw a mining facility in the distance, i killed the spacers outside and made my way inside.
the facility led underground and i was SHOCKED, the soil walls and the ceiling had ROOTS growing in them, roots on the moon!
i was actually naive enough to think i had finally found some of bethesdas legendary environmental storytelling. i read every note in the facility trying to figure out where the roots came from but to my disappointment no explanation was found.
it wasnt until i ran into the exact same mining facility with the exact same soil walls on the very next planet i landed on that i realised it was just a hastily copy+pasted POI that is one of 12 POIs that are on EVERY planet in the game regardless of if they fit into their environment.
the problem with starfield isnt that there are too many planets, the problem is that theres only a single planet with 1 thousand different loading screen separated skyboxes.
10 hours? We’re in for a treat
Ive never played starfield but ive watched hours and hours of content about it on the internet. Idk why but it seems to entertain me. Ive heard some say it was ok but the majority say it was very lackluster. Looks bland to me.
Sure, I’ve got 5 minutes to check this video out.
Starfield long form essays are my new Lore To Sleep To 🧐
32:10 What game is this?
Makes me think of Control, but obviously thats not Jesse
Wizard? I’ve been listening to Sparfield critiques for like 1.5 years after game’s release coz it’s that boring (not to dis content creators, the game in question is a resident sleeper). Glad i can happily fall asleep once again lol
Wizard.. or something
Amazing video bro, Starfield is maddenly disappointing
Hey, that’s funny. My brother lives in Oslo
2:14:34 omniverse
10 hours was a long time to edge myself but I made it to the end
Subbed, liked. Well done.
Starfield is what happens when you develop a game out of focus tests and for investors. An artist’s job is to give you something you don’t know you want, and the Starfield devs were never given a chance to do so. Through forcing their game to be an experience for anybody, they only curated an experience that nobody wanted. And this is not an argument about “woke bad” or “black ppl in my game reeeee” it’s simply an acknowledgement that the defining characteristics of an artistic work is its explicit distinction from other works. It’s why AI art is not only trash, but recognizably so. It never invokes the freshness of creativity and novelty; it’s always something we’ve seen before.
This video really made me remember why i thought TES6 will be a success. Quality of the game will not matter, if even starfield gets this reception from the fans.
Sleep slop is how I’m gonna categorize these long form videos personally
Ok. so 10 hours of critiquing, overanalyzing, and nitpicking a video game, But did not see ‘The HUNTER’ in the view starport in New Atlantis and at the bar in Akila City at the beginning of the game. If I play games like you, I will never play games at all. Note: I can’t wait to play your game.
58:09 I love that when he gives you the watch he says “and it even tells the time” when it acctually doesn’t lmao. After all the things you said the watch does, telling the time wasn’t one of them
Dude you legit just sound like a Bethesda fan boy that hates when others criticize them. No bro they deserve every bit of the shit they get, payed mods is one of the biggest, I remember back in Skyrim when Todd said they’d never makes mods payable yet here we are with fallout 76 not too mention completely changing the lore and in my opinion you have no right to say people are band wagon haters in a game where you legit could go 30 min walking going absolutely nothing because there is nothing to do it that game
The sad thing about cyberpunk is that the mealstrom flatbot quest is the only quest in the whole game that is like that.
I just watched you do nchardak in slyrim, a 10 year old video and your still going, making videos.
Thats so great and you are a general sam fan.
wow this little prick, wasting 11 hrs of his worthless life on a game he dont like, or maybe he do like it, cause no way you’ll catch me spending even an hr on a game i dont like
You love Starfield? How to destroy a youtube career 101.
You didn’t owe this game this much of your time
lol 10 hours to make a critical analysis about how a shit smells!
When they announced the game, I thought, “how can that engine, who HATES objects, generate an entire galaxy?” Then towards the launch, they showed the series of loading screens…. I mean “space navigation”- and it all clicked.
No girlfriend I assume lol
Bethesda derangement is real, this video proves it.
Is this a real video? I refuse to believe this is real lol.
Really good vid. Thank you, sir.
Wake up babe, someone is beating the horse’s ghost again!
Commenting for the algorithm!!!!!!
I bought an Xbox series X for Starfield 😅
Bethesda Game Studios, which has 400+ developers, still needed to outsource to 23 additional studios to come up with the trash known as Starlop. That’s everything you need to know to say Bthesda is dead and TES 6 will be trash if it ever sees release. Especially since they’re using the trash Gamebryo Frankenstein engine yet again.
i swear, i will watch this whole video in one sitting
3 minutes in & I can tell this is gonna be a good essay, hopped to the comments for the algorithm. Goodluck family.
The best part of Starfield is the difficulty modifiers they patched in. Setting each one to their hardest makes the game more than just a snooze fest, but it is still a game set in space so it is terribly boring at each fundamental level. But the difficulty sliders give me great hope for TES VI.
Ooo, NeverKnowsBest without the “ex-girlfriend = Skyrim” allegories?
Don’t mind if I do! 😀
10 hours yapping about a game? you need to chill, my guy. lol.
Starfield is the only game to get multiple 5+ hour analysis videos 😭
TEN HOURS
lol another video essay on a video game, skip
Imma be so real, you wasted a lot of time making a video about something everyone communally decided wasn’t worth the time or care when it was actually relevant. This game, this studio, this video. Is hopelessly irrelevant.
10 HOURS LONG
JESUS
I had hoped that Bethesda learned their lesson from 76. I actually started Starfield with hope…..till I began exploring. The exact same 15 points of interest across the entire universe was just insanely pathetic. I had bought the premium package so the DLCs were free to me. But I didn’t even bother redownloading it to play shattered space when it came out because even though I’d already paid for it, I knew it wouldn’t be worth my time. I am done with Bethesda. Every single thing they do is worse than the last. Greedier, lazier, more boring and repetitive. Their writing makes plain tofu seem spicy in comparison. I’m grateful for the good games they made in their youth that I loved, but they aren’t that company anymore. Listening to videos on YouTube about how horrible Starfield is while I play No Man’s Sky gives far more joy than Starfield ever could.
Ten hours? TEN hours? Oh, alright then…
Hey, thank you for all this hard, good work. Greetings from sunny Corfu, Hellas.
a new long-hour Bethesda critique touches the beacon
The intro of starfield could have been better:
For example it could have started with the player applying for the job at some office, filling out the form or answering questions.
Would also be good for putting in some referencing voicelines for different backgrounds.
Then shipping the player over to the mine and let him work. Tadaa.
The whole “Oh you hit your head, can you please tell us everything about you again, so we know everything is alright?” Just felt off to me.
What I also dont get:
The game is made with replayability in mind. Storywise.
So why dont we have harsh consequences for decisions?
For example a certain decision whioch would make parts of a specific ship manufacturer hard to get or extremely pricey?
There are lots of missed opportunities.
And if teh player wants to try again, he just had to finish the story again and try something else.
But Badthesda was like “oh no, we cant do that, because we dont want to offgend anybody and have to be safe. Lets wrap all dumb player sin bubblewrap, so their feelings dont get hurt!”
It was my last game from this studio and I have no more faith in them at all.
The game is pretty bad. There is not two ways about it.
I just realized that this is one of the few videos that run natively in edge to edge mode on my phone. Snazzy.
Bambi at least you keep the theme of low grade torture a consistent feature of your content.😅
This will take all day but I will listen to this dissertation, just hope you get the dolan’s for it.
The titular starfield refers to the ceiling feature of the Constellation home base main hall. The main hall of “The Lodge”. And guess what, if you look for pictures of masonic halls, you’ll mostly see the very same feature.
Real subtle, Todd.
i am certain that starfields development was halted halfway through, a combination of the lockdowns and the microsoft merger made bethesda basically stop working for *several years* . the dialogue reeks of auto-complete and all of the balancing and interweaving of the different systems like perks and economy was skipped. the game has a solid base (the first half of development) but all the things that are usually done in the second half of development are either half baked or flat out missing.
thats also why it took so long to release and why its taken so long for them to pickup any momentum after starfield. they were at a standstill, theyll never admit it, but im sure of it. the loose threads basically still have the designs of where they were supposed to go on them.
Good god.
I think startield could’ve been really good if it was focused on just our solar system and fleshing out each planet with cool alien stuff
10 hrs… jesus… I’d rather play Starfield.
10 hours, really? If anything in this video was important enough for you to want to impart to the viewers, you would’ve condensed it down to a reasonable length. The first 45 minutes probably said everything that needed to be said.
i also love to hate this game. I’m 940 hours in. No it never gets good. The more i play the more i hate it.
Bethesda made Starfield, but they forgot to make it good.
They saw the awesome potential of this game, but did not care about it.
They were content by producing a half-assed mediocre product, and leaving the potential on the side of the road. “F*ck Potential”, they said.
It is so frustrating, because I love the basic idea of the game very much.
But in the state it is, I tried twice, but could not even be bothered to finish the core story. I just stopped caring, each time I tried to play the game.
The repetitive enemy bases, on every planet, with the same enemies, and the same loot, and the same details, in the same spots, destroyed my gamer spirit. I just can’t do it.
There are things I love. The ship building is awesome. The gun play is really good and satisfying. The graphics are fine, although the character animations are at least 10 years out of date.
A single guy developed a game that is like Starfield, but way better, Space Bourne 2.. Still in early access on Steam,, but gameplay videos I have seen, it looks great.
oh a one hour vid….10 BOMBOCLAT HOURS??????
10 hours? Okay
Why does this video exist?
1. There’s almost certainly nothing said in this video that hasn’t been said before
2. Even if there was who is going to watch 10 hours of video for the off chance there is a single original idea when the topic lost relevancy over a year ago
If you’re just gonna parrot the internet hive mind you have to at least make sure to post while they’re still foaming at the mouth.
Their little peanut attention spans are on to something else now you missed the boat
I like the game, I also like these videos. I am hoping so hard they actually do something cool with this rumored “big update”. FO4 AE has me very skeptical though.
hbambiguy
Investing in this one early… I never seriously played Starfield because it felt a little soulless compared to their other titles. Excited to see what could make a person want to talk about it this long. See you in 10 hours!
what the fuck ok ill be back in 10 hour
a 10 hour rant about a video game I’ve never played, nor had any interest in playing? Sure why not
…….Finally.
Hello everyone! Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition… Amitire? God… Anyways. Hi again and stay tuned for another one for the DLC and the Terran Armada DLC coming up. Good grief and greed…
