Anon's BRUTAL Review of Starfield 

That's clearly not true. It was Bethesda expirience since Oblivion.

@@DrNiradino At least Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, and Skyrim were enjoyable.

@@Kagetora- For me, out of what you've mentioned, only NV was enjoyable, and mainly because it wasn't made by Bethesda. Main problem that they have, is that their writers follow the "Keep it simple, stupid" rule to writing. They intentionally make their stories dumb and shallow to appeal to "mainstream audience".

@@Kagetora- New Vegas is not a Bethesda game, it is a "what if Bethesda game but made by competent devs".

@@Kagetora-new Vegas wasn’t made by Bethesda and Skyrim was unplayable at launch especially on PlayStation so you only have 1 to compare fallout 4 on top of this Bethesda games are like wine they get better with age.

I don't get this. Every location of interest in every Bethesda game was segmented by loading screens. Every house/cave/town/city/dungeon etc. This game is no different but people are losing their minds over it. You can go from a planet's surface to a specific location on another planet in another system in a single loading screen if you want to.

@@emarskineel "Every location of interest in every Bethesda game was segmented by loading screens." They were all connected by an outer world map you could explore in control of your character. Starfield has no such thing, the tiles the game lets you explore are a minuscule part of the entire game, they are also mostly empty.

@@emarskineel Because No Man's Sky demonstrated that you COULD do seamless spaceflight. Elite Dangerous did it too. If Bethesda released Skyrim today, the game would get smashed with negative reviews because the standard has shifted from needing loading screens at every door to needing them basically never. Hell, Subnautica (another indie game), managed a densely packed open world RPG experience with basically zero hard loading screens. Using a teleporter is a loading screen, but they don't show up until the end of the game.

@@emarskineel Because you didn't have to fast travel. In Skyrim you couldn't fast travel to the next city, instead you had to walk there and while walking there you could run into interesting things. You would see ruins on the side of the road that led to new quests and interesting experiences. NPCs would walk up to you and say interesting things. If you found a Dragon Wall it could be guarded by some kind of interesting monster, or bandit, or dragon, or undead. It made you feel like you were really there and unexpected things could happen to you. In Starfield, you fast travel to a planet from a menu, nothing unexpected happens. Maybe you fight a few pirates. Then you fast travel to near your destination. Planet is procedurally generated so there's nothing interesting to find there outside of the one place you intended to go. If you go to a temple, there is no one guarding it at all. There is no exploration, no discovery, no sense of wonder.

@@emarskineel The issue is that it's not 2001 anymore. What was acceptable decades ago isn't always acceptable today. Other games manage this and people have experienced how much better the game is if there isn't a static image of a sweet roll every 15 to 30 seconds of gameplay, so they're no longer willing to shrug it off. This is like asking why people are mad if a car in 1980 can't drive backwards. The first Ford didn't go backwards and people were fine with it!

Yes. The teenagers have better ideas, and implement them better, AND fix their bugs, AND extend the engine....... wtf are bethesdas employees actually doing? Sitting around having diversity meetings probably.

the devs that made the engine 10-20 years ago.... that probably dont work there anymore...

That’s how it’s always been since the 360 era.

@@masterinsatiable6656let these dweebs continue to feel good about their logic a bit longer

Bethesda moment

It actually wouldn't be a bad thing if its implementation was good. Imagine finding some amazing location and wanting to share it with your friend. Or perhaps beholding a YTer finding one and being able to reach it yourself. Static world would make all these findings shareable. And if you have over a 1000 of unique planets it's not a problem at all. But since the planets are pretty much vapid and POIs are boring the approach taken does not matter at all.

and among that already generated 1000s of planets, only stuff on 100 planets is truly handcrafted and others are straight up barren or have like 2 or 3 poi

​@@datbunneh3671oh that exists. Its no mans sky

@@kevinaosei Funny thing, NMS was even more empty than Starfield at release. But one is developed by an indie studio, and another by big ass company.

-enemies are damage sponges FALSE. There are headshots.

Some enemies are undeniably bullet sponges. Depending on difficulty they aren't so bad. But you get better loot on very hard and grinding for loot is one of the only things keeping some people hooked. So for most people bullet sponge enemies is a problem, and trying to dismiss it by saying 'headshots' isn't a good argument at all. You might as well say ' bro grind out all relevant crit skills and weapon skills, then craft top tier mods on a strong weapon with good perks on it and shoot enemies in the head and then you won't have a problem with bullet sponge enemies.' None of that changes the fact that some enemies are bullet sponges.

@@dmoonmaster1653 Headshots require a gamer's skills, good weapons, and a good gaming mouse.

@@valenrn8657 I can see that you are in possession of a quality phone and or keyboard which allows you to skilfully post comments on RU-vid videos. Evidently the mark of a gentleman with true social skills and peerless mental faculties.

@@dmoonmaster1653 I bet he has a really good gaming chair too. Fallout 4 suffered this same problem. When you reach lvl 30ish and maxed out your damage buffs yet enemies health pools still climb exponentially. It's just garbage design, but this is also exactly what I expected from modern day Bethesda.

New? It's been that way since Oblivion.

Yeah but most mods cost performance and the game is already running poorly on good PC's.

​@@icyknightmare4592oblivion actually has a crap ton in its vanilla compared to the others... by others, I mean the games that came after

I feel like that’s the motto with a lot of game companies or at least the ones with open community access.

Exactly one of the best and honest comments here.

Its one of the bethesda games allright

Mass effect legendary edition will never be beaten for a space experience.

It's SUPPOSED to be buggy and broken, that's HALF THE FUN

Indeed

@@Truthseeker-iz3djall I want to do is replay mass effect again now, and I think I will. This game is just alright, absolutely zero innovation.

it's honestly unbelievable that they don't have them

After playing cyberpunk 2077 and BG3. The Facial expressions in Starfield look terrible!

Yeah it's atrocious. It's because they absolutely refuse to use a new game engine. You can't make realistic facial expressions on an engine that was made in 2005. Todd says "our team knows how to use creation engine" then maybe they should get a new team. Bethesda has good ideas, but they refuse to update their own internal way of developing games.

Yet what he said is a lie.

@@higglybiggly1174 its funny bc they dont even know how to use creation engine. they incorrectly coded the way the game loads so sometimes you just get shit performance and choppiness, meanwhile the community found and fixed the problem the day the game fully released because we ACTUALLY know how to use creation engine.

this is why people complain that they never create a new engine.

i'd say that's a lock. can't think of anything else with remotely close to the same reception. in a different year, maybe ff16 or ac6. but not this year

@@cellamuert There's also TOTK

@@athormaximoff4634 I was going to say that.

it still has to fight armored core 6 and zelda plus whatever dark horse contender that may appear these next few months, you never know.

@bottomlefto I still have high hopes for BG3 since the game delivered on so many levels. Not everyone can play a Mech game, and tears of the kingdom get boring after the same building, but BG3 gave people endless things to explore, and replayability was much higher.

Yes, this is something I noticed I think when an early mission sends you to Mars. I'm jumping 30 feet in the air because of weak gravity / no atmosphere, but my character still walks and runs like ir's Earth gravity. This might have been very difficult to program and animate, but it definitely takes away immersion. Physics in this game is very much Borderlands-esque.

@@thevoxdeus you turn off your grav boots when you jump!

@@jamesbyrd3740 oh, grav boots. Got it!

@@thevoxdeus Borderlands Pre-sequel managed to figure it out

I think it was so that ground travel which is already a chore because landing at an objective dumps you like 500km away isn't an even worst chore. I just completed the rangers faction final mission and my ship landed almost 1500km from the enemy base that HAS A FREAKING LANDING PAD!

​@@ni9274Someone used the internal neuroamp on him.

@@ni9274 Correct. Playing this game is a harsh enough punishment for just about everyone.

The murderous space pirates respect pronouns. That’s not harsh.

it's also all the same. everything looks the same

This game is as edgy as Microsoft's HR department.

Emil is the writer I presume? What a talentless goober that guy is.

And the constant twitter-esque dialogue options.

All the passive aggressive snark. Written by 20-something without any clue, imagination, or life experience

Bethesda have never have the ability to "write" anything. I don't know how Starfield starts out, but in every other game you are eitehr in prison, about to go to prison, going to be executed at prison and then "something" happens where only you survive and you are now chosen to do something that once you are done doing that thing...nothing happens and no one cares. They follow the 1990s Doom trope of the "lone survivor" storyline, which was extremely common for FPS games. Bethesda and its "writers" are still in 1994.

@@vjmtz Starfield is even a step back from that.

its crazy honestly that the one reviewer (IGN USA) who actually reviewed it the most fair gets the most backlash. And then people are wondering why reviewers are to scared to review games with low scores.

@@jeltevl8868 a real "they hated him because he spoke the truth" moment

That's exactly what restaurant critics do.

You can't blame game journalists they probably have the worst job in the entertainment industry if they praise every game they will be considered shills and if they dare and be honest about a game they will probably stop receiving review copies from publishers and will get harrased online by brain dead fanboys like that one ign reviewer that gave uncharted 4 "only" a 9/10 and the same thing is happening now with the ign employee who reviewed starfield.

@@Dr.Yakub22 good argument for why games journalism shouldn't exist

It is true that the community actually dreads updates to Bethesda games. They will fix 5 bugs, create 50 more and at the same time break ALL mods.

I was thinking that the entire time playing. "Oh they just left that for modders to fix..."

I'd say Bethesda is the Gaming Corporation of Sloth, but Valve has that title on lock.

@@SM-oc4rc Yes it is true, since most updates didn't actually improve any aspect of an already ancient game, most mods depend on the version of the game so when they update it (such as the anniversary update)it changed the version of the game and in turn it really messed up alot of mods.

@@SM-oc4rc Iz true, some of the best content for Skyrim was from mods, but the moment SkyUI failed to work for just a bit, Skyrim became shit for just a bit.

Rewrite it in (safe) Rust.

Upgrade to 128 GB and the builder works ok. But then you try to place wires in the outpost builder and rage quit... Seriously, you have a mouse and want to target and place with the keyboard?? WTF were you thinking Bethesda??

The Creation engine is awful. No matter how good the modder is, it's still a Creation-engine game.

@@bjornskivids That's not his point. His point is as bad (old) creation engine is, there is undeniable proof that it can be used in more creative and fun ways than is currently being done by Bethesda.

The Creation engine itself is fine. Just not for an expansive RPG in 2023. It's cell-based loading requiring constant loading screens because they have someone who puts 30 forks in a room is the killer.

@@bjornskivids Every engine is slowly built upon over time, and made to do all the fancy new things. The Creation Engine code base is perfectly capable of being brought up to modern standards and doing all this sh!t that everything else does.. And we know this because modders do it their bedrooms all the time. But it remains primitive because Bethesdas devs are incompetent, or lazy, or both. (read: diversity hires). It is not the engine itself that is the problem.

Bro, it's free labor. Why bother hiring people that you have to pay and make pensions for and all of that other corporate atuff when you can just have them do it for free? It's scuzzy, but it makes sense.

Damn, a video game enthusiast who isn't a consoomer who pre-orders firsts and asks questions later.

@@Odyssey636 After pre-ordering Cyberpunk I learned my lesson. Also the more lucrative a pre-order is, the more reason to stay away from it. Was very close to purchase D4, especially after enjoying the Beta testing. But decided to wait until Season 1. Then I decided to wait longer. A lot longer...

Because you listened to someone point out minor bitching opinions and lies? Just like the lie about no facial animations.

@@kyero8724 What? In Starfield you mean? Fuck no, I didn't buy that since it was made by Bethesda and they always release buggy half-finished products and then later rely upon the modding community to fix it up. Especially when using a 10-year old, half assed outdated engine like Creation Enfine. They didn't disappoint this time either. That's why I didn't buy it.

@@kyero8724 Lies? Todd would know about lies. Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

You definitely couldn’t say the game is impressive, I’d personally say (rating it based solely on the ‘technical’ stuff mostly mentioned in this vid), i’d say its decent at most. But for certain people like me, who loves ANY space game, i feel like you just kinda ignore all the shortcomings of it and enjoy it for what it is. Idk, i’ve played NMS, star citizen and elite dangerous, and starfield within 72hr of playing is my favourite game of all time. but thats just me.

@@hmishfiddy Nothing wrong in enjoying a game.

Or weren't getting into. It had red flags planted all over it. Gameplay preview that stole some of its "hype moments" from FO4 gameplay previews was the last of such flags I needed to see to be assured that the game will suck in the usual Bugthesda way.

​@sircharlz4512 See, I like this comment because you said things that were obvious to everybody and instead of being like. That's why I f****** hate it. You were honest and said and I like lot of people see all this stuff. This lack of hyper innovation and say that's a bad thing, but it's not. It's a good story, it made me feel emotions. It did its job. I'm 40 hours in and I'm nowhere near the end. I've already had some weird s*** happen and some more. S***, I am super excited to get in too. What more do I need out of a video game? At the end of the day, I play games to escape reality and. When you sit down and play Starfield. for an hour, suddenly, 3 to 6 hours have gone by. And I don't know a single other game that has done Rap for me. In the past year, the only other game that has done that for other people. Not me is balder's gate 3

The game is very impressive. Without loading screens it’s easily goty

It has an 84 on Metacritic even after being review bombed by the pony brigade 😂

@@VulturHS 1 account claims to have used 1000 bomb accounts. And there are like 1000 0 score reviews just going through different names of Pokemon.

Not a single lie was todd

"10 guns in the entire game" - there are 12 different pistols alone. -> You cringe losers trying to validate your lonely lives by jumping on the hate train with equally pathetic people when you haven't played the game is CRAZY

Im skeptical about the game engine one cause literally no one has a clue how they are typically maintained usually

@@KarmaMate It uses Creation Engine 2, which has been completely reworked for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6. Yet these pathetic weirdos think it's the same engine from 2006. Just braindead losers, saying whatever helps them cope.

​@@KarmaMatewhat to be sceptical about. Its no secret all bethesda games are on nearly 20 year old gamebryo engine that was designed for mmo's and they already pushed it to the limit with fallout 4, this engine just wont generate any better visuals because it can't handle them. Bethesda knows its the case thats why all their trailers are prerendered.

But remember how people criticized BG3 for having a long development time so ofc it would be a good game

@@Rofel_Wodringlong development time doesn’t mean 100% guarantee of good games anymore, cyberpunk 2077 and this are good examples.

*braindead

the funny thing is that ladders actually are somewhat hard to really nail them. in general this game made some impressive moves and goes to details like high peaks having stronger winds blowing out of the speakers... and then you cant use doors while the fucking scanner is open. or open your inventory. or open specific types of loot containers like weapon chests. good luck opening the "map" or tossing a grenade in that quick button gamble. procedural content is stale and has indeed the same layout, a concept that Diablo outdid...

@@le4389 it's called reviewing the game. And in hindsight, people who have played that long give more accurate reviews since they're past the honeymoon phase.

Comparing that to this is stupid. Rethink your logic here.

@@thedurtylemur2282Why?

He is comparing the ability of a company to fast load chunks of the world against another company doing the same. While one is able to do it on far lesser hardware. If you don't understand why this is a fair comparrison, I can only assume you think doing this in starfield would require loading all of the universe into memory. Which is dumb. Beyond dumb. Zelda loads more in a quarter mile radius than starfield has in its entire surface of empty rock. Maybe all the uneeded notepads and pens were too much for their engine

Because if you do compare you would find Bethesda to be a shite studio that isn't capable of incorporating a modern feature like that into the game! Thats why!@@melanp4698

I can tell you I got over the load screens and actually prefer them now. I'm tired of my playtime being artificially inflated because I went to grab a drink while waiting for my ship to arrive at a planet. Or farming the same material for hours. That's not a game. That's a job.

I haven't played Starfield, but I remember in Fallout 4 your character is slightly oversized relative to the environment, so I wouldn't doubt something similar is going on. If you were able to enter some of the indoor locations seamlessly, it would become immediately apparent how off the scaling is.

I mean we're talking about a studio that made Fallout 76, a game where you ran faster than other players if you had more FPS.

imagine that. fallout 4. a quest on blimp. you fast travel to the blimp - loading screen. you enter inside a blimp - loading screen. enter another area inside the blimp - loading screen. take your quest. go outside the area - loading screen. go outside the blimp itself - loading screen. fast travel to your quest location - loading screen. it's inside a building - loading screen, you need to go to the basement inside the building - loading screen. do the quest. get outside the basement - loading screen. get outside the building - loading screen. fast travel to the blimp - loading screen. enter blimp - loading screen. enter the area inside the blimp - loading screen. report to the quest giver. That's a real experience of bethesda games. count how many loading screens that was. also don't forget that load times are tide to frame rate, but if you uncap it to load faster it breaks the physics and ai of some NPCs unless you slap a mod that fixes it. and even after that load times will be around 20-40 seconds if your PC is good. on mid to low end devices it can take anywhere up to 2 minutes. hell the pop-ins are also a concern that can break the game. I had a character in full legendary gear that increases your movement speed. I sprinted along the river towards the Diamond City and suddenly find myself stuck in some stairs. I moved so fast that the cells were not loading terrain fast enough so literally was walking through walls before they were loading. the engine is so trash that they have the same bugs since fucking TES4: Oblivion. Expecting something good from Bethesda is stupid.

Name a single game that you can do that in. Rdr was one of the best games ever made and you can't do that. Unrealistic ass expectations.

To be fair most games need loading to enter houses and stuff, the devs simply hide loading screens with long entrances or only let you go in certain interiors while a quest/condition is active

No they are smoking an expensive sigar from todd

>feels disappointing >10/10 You are worse than IGN.

Have you seen joovs review? Dude straight up lied. He praised the space combat and said it controls great. His fanbase ate it up too. I think he said the exploration is great as well (it is not) he seriously couldn't come up with anything disappointing? The enemies are lame generic space raiders or gunners from fallout 4.

@@beegyoshi1685 yes there are invisible walls on Skyrim what happens when you reach the edge of any side of the map lol and to substitute the horse you have a space ship and jet pack

@@rishyrish Yes, but those walls marked the end of the whole open world. There were no walls inside that world. You could travel from one side to the other seamlessly. You can't travel seamlessly between the split worlds in Starfield. They aren't one huge handcrafted open world. They are "tiles", split worlds that are not connected to each other and that can't be traversed seamlessly. Most of them are also pretty empty. I explored one such "tile" on one of the procedurally generated planets, and there were only 2 POI on it. 2. And the whole area was probably almost as big as Skyrims whole map. It was a barren rocky wasteland with just 2 POI on such a huge map. Exploration clearly wasn't the focus in this game. Those planets just exist for resource grinding. That's not why I play BGS games. Their games always were famous for exploration. Roam around the open world and explore one POI after the other. Totally forget about your current quest objective, because you just came across a cave. Or a camp. Or a ruin. And you want to explore it. And the one after it. And at some point hours have passed and you suddenly remember there was a quest you had to do. Thats not happening in Starfield.

Modern Blizzard couldn't make Starfield

It's Bethesda cumbrain fanboys who are drooling for nude mods areadly. I know, 18 years ago I was one of them too, but I grew up and got laid in between. They didn't.

he probably cookin as we speak

I don't think so, starfield seems to be their most bug free game and it seems to be enjoyed by a big portion of gamers, unlike 76. So it's not really notable, just very recent so everyone is talking about it.

I honestly think they are stuck at this point. Either they need to rewrite it entirely and not just update parts. Or take something like Unreal and lose the mod-scene...

@@_Ekaros Well that's sort of the point though right? It's been enough time for them to build another Engine and try to future proof it to some degree. Technology of game engines has come SOO far in the last 15 years it's mind blowing! Continuously trying to patch a Engine from 2008 to bring it up to 2023 standards is kind of insane! I agree they cannot afford to lose the modding community, the modding community does a TON of leg work in fixing issues and patching their games, not to mention the longevity mods add to a game. Maybe they're working on a new Engine, but to me the fact that Starfield released as is suggests they determined that Creation Engine is sufficient for their modern games into the foreseeable future.

Yes, unbiased because he agrees with you. Asmon is a massive shill remember how much he defended Diablo? He is throwing this tantrum because he forgot to save in a bethesda game and wants to capitalize on the hate train same as always.

@@Odyssey636 Nah I like the game 40 hours in so far, I will be right just like always. Just like he will never play baldurs gate 3 again despite talking it up. Asmon just follows whatever will get him views same as always.

Negative = unbiased to most of you folk

Keep huffing that copium that starfield is amazing

They should have been real and said to themselves lets milk our antiquated ways again with TES6 and have Starfield with our real new engine that allows what all other real space games have. People would have like that better probably, despite it behind a reskinned Skyrim probably.

I smell the sarcasm 10 miles against the wind. I feel you…

They are both mediocre woke games. Your standards are simply too low.

@@OilFreeFeathers did the pronouns trigger you? I’m sorry snowflake

i didnt play starfield but i can see its mediocre especially without mods. - but BG3? sorry but i really have to disagree? only thing is in 2023 the hole mainstream plays BG3, mediocre ppl included...but the gameitself it really miles above this@@OilFreeFeathers

The stockholm syndrome of gamers today is crazy for sure. Read some of the reviews too. "Game is buggy. All I can do is explore dead surfaces. Also I recommend this game, 10/10 this year. Good bethesda game." Its bizzare and weird.

I did, I expected greatness. Especially when games like Elite Dangerous exist, which does space simulation perfectly

@StrobeFireStudios elite dangerous definitely doesn't do it perfectly and actually catches a lot of criticism from its fans. I absolutely expected a Bethesda game. I don't see how nobody else seemed to expect that lol. Especially when u hear how long this game has been in development, like you should've definitely known it won't be taking full advantage of modern technology and systems like seemless orbital transitions and things like that

Bethesda games suck; nice ideas and concepts, but executed very poorly with trash gameplay@@sonic-bb

They are one of the most consistent companies on this planet.

True, after fallout 4 and 76 i don't know why anyone expected anything better from Bethesda.

4chan is a mixed bag of truth, lies, and degeneracy.

4chan a place of honesty? It is a place that is relentlessly dishonest about most things, as would be expected from a forum primarily known for trolling people. It's not more 'honest' just because it is unhinged and negative.

Some anon make some good reviews and are very helpful among all the troll posting.

I’ve… actually never seen AOC AI porn on there yet…

What year you think this is? 2015? 4chan is full of feds bro (i mean kinda, 2 dudes got arrested for saying "i would like to kill *some bullshit politician of florida* in minecraft"), the farms is the only free place on the internet now and is being raped by pedo troons lol.

Which one?

@@flyhightyty i believe people refer to the 3 originals in the legendary edition. Andromeda is abomination, its for mass effect whats 76 is to the fallout series.

@@flyhightytyThe original. The second and third games were more story focused. The first was story and exploration.

guess u missed star citizent then. Starfiekld is like ali expres version of that :D

Yes I agree. Ranjid told me yesterday that he made 100000$ a day through this amazing project. Thank you India for your revolution. I have a Ghandi statue in my house to honor you, dhanyavaad. I also eat Indian rice everyday to make Ghandi happy, now I get rewarded by my Indian friends thank you dhanyavaad.

Dude really astroturfed 1000 upvotes for this

i dont know if I can do it again if they dont drop a performance patch

@@jimmygoods put this into perspective, BG3 costs like 50-60 bucks

​@@puddingsimon2626so, buy Baldurs Gate 3 is what you saying?

Well some things on the list are 50% correct. For example there are areas where you seamlessly go into houses and out, but other areas where even the smallest zone needs a loading transition for NO REASON. It can be confusing at times, you'll notice these things as you play for extended periods of time. But if you put the game down fast, you will not see the mixed bag experience, it does get better at least.

@@puddingsimon2626That makes Starfield worth nothing more than $10

It's definitely a plus. I don't know why this was mentioned in this string of negatives. Most games are so obfuscated it's very difficult to make mods for them but that is one thing Bethesda should be praised for. Opening their game to modders. And holy shit their games need it.

​@@TheInfidel_SlavaUAthank you. It's easy because people have been tinkering with the same code for the last 2 decades

@@TheInfidel_SlavaUA Spoken like someone who has no idea about writing software or proper practice. I'm a senior software engineer with 20 years in the profession and can confidently tell you that you're talking rubbish. Actual professionals avoid writing complex code, and parts of the dev pipeline actually involve reducing product complexity based on certain metrics to increase readability and reusability. Someone who tries to write complex code for the sake of writing complex code or see writing less code at the cost of understandability IS an amateur and they don't usually get their changes through PR, or stay on the team for very long for that matter, because people who have the mindset that good code is complex code are novices that have no place in a software house.

@@kiteofdark I think it was added by someone with a lot of experience playing video games but also doesn't necessarily know how they are made.

there's two sides of the isle here, guys. people who prefer a game to be easy to work with, code that easy to understand. that always comes at the cost of making the computer spend more processing power translating human-centric code into shit it understands, reducing game performance. the other side of the coin is games like Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2, written on a codebase that's requires basically no "translation" for the computer and means whatever you program on it can run on the starchiest potato PCs out there, at the cost of requiring eldritch knowledge to actually make anything with.

I mean, they traded flexibility in Oblivion (but fked up leveling system), for handholding in Skyrim.

I saw some Starfield fans on Twitter shitting on a lighting mod because it deepened the grey blacks. They were saying it destroys the art direction lol. Like who the fuck didn't install lighting mods for Skyrim and Fallout?

Also the outer worlds : 30 hours of content throughout the entire game. Starfield : 30 hours of main missions alone, nevermind the side missions and side content.

The elevator IS the loading screen, in this case. Which is great.

@@acca9169 Calling it content is generous.

It's been 6 years.

I mean it worked out for them

If anything it harmed Starefield. Now ppl going for the refund. I see why they didn't want to leak it.

All that worry for nothing.

I did refund, that was like a super alpha game test of gameplay, 7 year dev has got to be a mega lie, more like half a year.@@meddlingmage23

Lots of people will still buy Starfield and the Bethesda fanboys will defend it till death. It might have been a good call to avoid releasing it at the same time anyway. Starfield did get a lot of attention despite being shit. A few days ago any comment that was negative toward starfield seemed to get trashed by everyone. Now people are starting to realize the game is actually shit despite the fanboys doing their best to defend it.

"10 guns in the entire game" - there are 12 different pistols alone. And I could in detail destroy almost all the rest of his bullshit claims. -> You cringe losers trying to validate your lonely lives by jumping on the hate train with equally pathetic people when you haven't played the game is CRAZY

I prefer to call it "Starfail". Has a nice ring to it.
