Is Starfield Actually Good? - 300+ Hours Review (No Spoilers) 

Hi mate, really enjoyed your review 👍 you earned a sub 🫡

How much were you paid off to praise this game?

The games complete trash. How much did Flop Howard pay you ? You make me embarrassed to be an Australian

Play The Outer Worlds!!!!

Your passion and excitement are exciting man! I love this! We have decades of gameplay here!

I agree most of the other game reviews are about how quick they can finish it etcetera but no one actually talks about how enjoyable it is

​@@daggermouth4695right! I've seen so many people complaining that every square inch isn't filled with random bullshit 🤦 people should really only pay attention to reviews from people with similar views on games

He lied, Game is SHIT

These are the worst channels for reviews honestly because they are much more susceptible to the honeymoon period bias. In reality this game is mid so far. 7/10, lots of clunky creation engine jank in here too. I'll be here saying it's a decent bit of fun while the tide goes from "omg best game ever" to "wow this game is trash" as is the usual trend on these types of big releases

​@LevattWolfheart 7 out of 10 isn't mid lol. 5 out of 10 is mid. That's what mid means

Yeah you get a second pc to record from with a capture card lol.

You mean thank God the Todd Howard it's good😂

Eh, idk, I like fudgemuppet but they're a tad fanboyish, I'd watch more reviews than just this one

Thank Todd.

@@ChiefCrewin They were VERY skeptical of the game. In fact, lukewarm about Starfield. So I'm very surprised they liked it this much. That says a lot lol

it looks like cyberpunk if it was finished

Exactly. As an Oblivion die hard fan I was anxious about this game as Bethesda had a few rough years. Hoping this can be my modern oblivion experience

Same!

in the words of Bob le'Sponge... "I NEEED IT!!!"+

It's nothing like oblivion at all but it is a solid game so far. Nothing really amazing but very stable so far.

Oblivion? Pfft, morrowind ❤

I can't wait for the character build vids

Also made this review biased.

@@Peryite_the_Platypus "unbiased reviews" are for scientific papers and medical journals. Artistic media reviews are pretty much always subjective.

​@@Peryite_the_PlatypusEeeeh, as long as it's not fanboy bias and just an opinion from a specific perspective that can actually be backed up, there's nothing wrong with it

Idk I kind of doubt he is going to care about Starfield lore. It's probably not very deep or unique

Same. I think for me it’s that they were so skeptical leading in to the game. So them saying they like it is a great sign

Someone is lying ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qYYiUZ9t7gE.html

@@Emerging95 good sign that they get payd by bethesda?

@@HavanaBobChannel nope think I Think they enjoyed game. The big contributing factor to that enjoyment seems to be the RPG mechanics. Most complaints I’ve seen online are people upset about loading screens, fast travel, menus, and bugs. Most praise is about the story, factions, and rpg mechanics. Many people seem to use their ship Purely as a fast travel point like KOTOR or outer worlds. And many people didn’t know you can explore space without going into a menu most times. As a result people feel like ships are not well done as they were expecting a more NMS or Elite style space exploration. Which is a fair criticism, I do think seamless exploration is the standard for space games right now, and I would have liked it here. Though I don’t think Starfields space exploration is bad. You can still mine for resources, fight enemies, find points of interest, and you can travel to/land on planets without very much menu time. It’s just a loading screen and a cinematic rather than an animation you can cancel if you want. Some people really don’t like this game and that’s ok, some people think it’s ok, and some love it and that ok to. People saying they like a game doesn’t mean they were paid to say that and I see no reason to believe that’s the only reason it’s gotten good reviews. Some people really do like the game.

@@Emerging95 idk man.. seems like they too positive about this game. I may be wrong ofc.

Good seeing you here.

To be fair on the 76 thing, that was the B team, but yeah it's great they went back to a silent protag with more options like the older games.

@@kingcaesar3693 and fo4 was mainly hurt by two MAJOR issues thats frankly amazing they made it all the way to launch since they hurt both dev time and limits and the user experiance

@@blessedbow720 cope

Dont forget this is a content creator who risks missing out on a lot of money if the game is bad, and giving it a bad review might make their overlord bethesda angry. I am normally not this sceptical, but after the praising of Diablo 4 and how unbelievably bad and empty that game turned out to be, I dont really trust shills anymore.

​@Adama.1 I'll admit that that's fair but Blizzard/Activision has been scumfucking for YEEEEARS. Bethesda for all their flaws makes narrative driven experiences with lots of depth and in my opinion has only had one actual miss (maybe two) after a few decades in the business.

They didnt say a single bad thing tho kinda sus

This review is so bias. Gameranx have a more realistic review.

@@paulbryant8403they did mention minor / slant criticisms. They said the upgrade & perk system didn’t have as much X factor as previous releases. Mostly just stat based. What do you mean by sus? Like Bethesda paid them off? Review seemed legit to me

Every one says that LOL Cringe

​@@MixMeister5000gameranx covers this game for normie gamers who are only here for 50 to 70 hours. Not the fans who'll mod and keep this game alive like skyrim

Oh yeah it definitely is a small but noticable improvement

this is how little it takes for bethesda fans to be impressed

@@yamo511 lol that's fair i guess

@@yamo511 Bethesda fans when they see a feature that's been in so many other games

​@@yamo511 So I guess Bethesda fans can't call out small improvements in their games? Besides, it's not like BGS has been pumping out games constantly, the last singleplayer game they dropped was 8 years ago.

I noticed this to! I thought the persuasion system was really well done compared to even new vegas where you just have to level up, now you have to think a little based on who your talking to.

Me too, had me tweaking fr

That’s what happens when you play the game yourself

I found this channel after their Cyberpunk review, and they were basically one of the few channels looking past the bugs drama and looking into the actual issues with factions and RP. I like how they are articulate when it comes to actually comparing full RP systems in depth and not just whining about 1 or 2 design choices..

Definitely. It's definitely nice to hear a review from someone who loves Bethesda games for what they were and still are (apparently by judging from this review) From where I'm sitting there's no way I could not like this game since Elder Scrolls, Fallout and No Man Sky are my 3 favorite games. This has no way of failing me at this point 😂

legacykilla is also good

ACG's review is legit too.

Dude soo many people are hating on the game, but this is clearly a more quest oriented game while those other are trying to be more procedural. It seems fun tbh. And I'm excited for the mods.

That's a really good attitude to have. It is for people like you that I hope they make a PS port in the future, or at least improve cloud gaming to the point where it can be a satisfactory experience for everyone.

Yeah I mean PlayStation did this to y'all. Notice how many Sony games are exclusive to PlayStation. Xbox finally did it and yeah, this is why exclusivity sucks. Thankfully tho PCMasterRace ❤️

PS5 port will probably come eventually. Scorn got a release so I can't see why not this.

Womp womp

​@@halo2bounceguyXbox is dying so they had no choice but to start buying all companies possible. Watch as game pass becomes the main product over xbox

Lmao 2700? Touch grass man 😂

I really hope not.

Lmao that's fucking sad

No man's sky is a solid exploration game with deep hidden lore. Its only cons are that it requires a lot of reading and combat is horrible.

I'm excited to hear this and can't wait to dive into the game myself. We're right around the same age I turn 50 in Feb. With all the negative and trashing starfield I've been holding off playing but it's time to fire up the series x and lose myself.

@@erichodson3718 all I can say is just take your time 👍🏻

There were critiques? 😂

​@@bhec7715this is a commercial

This game is 🗑

Dude I bought a 13700K and RTX 4080 just to play this

@@dawickedj im building my 7900xtx 7800x3d pc probably in 1-2 weeks. also motivated to build that because of starfield

@@Bumpy1364 That's a pretty solid budget build, And you should receive a steam copy of Starfield when you buy the GPU.

@@dawickedjFunny enough I’m able to play on a laptop, very well optimized for a Bethesda title.

@@BoogChannel Yeah it runs on my gaming laptop as well, 10500h I5 1650 ti

Imma be a long hauler who starts a cargo transport company and then eventually becomes an evil manufacturing tycoon with sweatshops in every system! MUHAHAHA

That’s kind of sad dude.

no u@@fancycrafts7774

Bruh

​@@fancycrafts7774 Your life is kinda sad tbh. Imagine calling someone sad over the smallest thing.

Yea

Yea it seems like it takes around 40/60 hours before it starts to click and really get going. Which is good in one way but also arguably terrible game design... Still going to play it just like I have played every other BGS game ever made.

I see what you did there

Does anyone with remote perspective on gaming as a whole take their reviews serious tbf?

Sorry, I didn't see the disclaimer *must play 100 hours before forming an opinion....

@@tarkov666 Obviously

Professional journalists that review games have limited time to spend on a game before they have to move on to another. So they likely rushed through the main storyline, and skipped most, if not nearly all the side missions, and the side missions are better.

My thing has always been that if it takes double or triple digit hours for a game or show to start getting good or fun then it's not a great product to begin with

Can you please tell me what the game is meant to be? I am truely curious. Because i went into the game, expecting "skyrim in space". You know, having fascinating things to explore around every 2nd corner, being fully immersed in the rich game world, havibg near endless role play capabilities. This is what i felt with Skyrim. And this is what I expected from them in Starfield. Now i have to say that i was skeptical going in. While i love space as a topic beyond anything else, the trailers only peaked my interest to a certain degree. That doesn't mean i am not invested in a good space RPG. But i get into Starfield and choices don't matter, environmental storytelling is not present for the most part, there is no immersive exploration, there is no immersive quests or dialogue or anything of the sort. On top of that there are immersion breaks around every 2nd corner. A 2m high fence on mars? Yeah who'd pay for that? Fruits left in the open on a planet with no atmosphere? Makes total sense, especially the part where you or the NPC would eat it with the space suit on. Or worse, taking the space suit off. Menus. Menus upon menus. The spaceship is only there as a hub for fast travelling to and from. Space combat is a minigame you can have on top. There is no flying experience. There is outdated and shallow gun and melee mechanics. Like please, tell me: what is Starfield? "A bethesda style rpg"? No. Because i played a bethesda style rpg. And they can do way waaay better than starfield. There is no rpg. There is no open world. Starfield is a sad experience of marketing success.

This is the only review out of 7-8 I've looked at that has any praise for the writing or radiant quests tbh. Few have mentioned perks giving just one line of influence text, that repeats word for word, and factions youve been working for instantly forgetting who you are further down quest chains etc. F4 resource spam is way worse too. Most have said 'Yup, skyrim in space. Big bland, but a bethseda game.'

@@johndavies4801there are multiple that have said the story/writing/worldbuilding is good. It’s a mixed reception.

Its not lol, it's very soulless and corporate even compared to f4 let alone Oblivion or Skyrim.

@@I-HAVE-A-BOMB from what I’ve played so far it already has more “soul” than Fallout 4

@@joshf2218 I hope so

You don't like negativity because it shines a light on your low iq. You have to have someone tell you what you want to hear.

You’re gonna get it lol

​@@tristanhicks5372 hahahah ofc

That's what this review is so positive then. I watched it streamed and it certainly was not appealing at all.

We need fallout NV remastered while we wait 20 years for fallout 5!

@@Omen465 not really interested in that either tbh 😅 . I only really care for Elder Scrolls when it comes to Bethesda

Don't forget official updates & DLC. FO4 got six & they massively expanded that game & what you could do in it.

I don’t understand the good ones. It’s a lifeless empty world in my eyes

@@cmad2345 it’s a galaxy though, maybe don’t just go to one planet?

300 hours devided acros 2 people, very important to realise because it would be impossible for one person to do.

they could not have physically put that much time in since the review copies just went out a week ago

@@skorpion7132 What I meant was 300+ hours of content in a game is amazing and I can't wait to play it.

​​​@@sentinel7376you still dont understand, 300 hours divided to 2 people equals around 150 hours of content for one person, per se not content but just time mostly spent with running around in pretty much empty landscapes exploring, grinding and building stuff U clearly are not much of the intelligent sort are you?😂

@@centura86 wow ok lol. You clearly don't get my original post. My point is there is 100s or 1000s of hours of content in this game. I'm playing it now and I'm already 55 hours in and still so much to do it's absolutely amazing. Loving the heck out of this game. If you don't like the game that's fine I couldn't care less.

Happy birthday dude 🙂

Happy birthday brotha:)

seriously, 150+ hours each already how is that possible

@@vknl99 fr something ain't adding up😂

I'm genuinely confused. The early access from the preorder started on 8/31. How did he play 150 hours in 2 days?

@@Succer they're reviewers so they get it early, like 3 weeks, but even then 150 hours in 3 weeks is insane, that's like 7 hours a day

Uhh, I like the game but this review is hilarious and ridiculously positive, ignoring the many many glaring issues with the game.

most of his good points are also covered with bad one but he doesn't mention them for example if enemies attacks you fist you can't warp out choices have consequences not every time you can masacre everyone in city but they soon forget when you pay the fine came with companions they hate you and then suddenly the forget that they were ever mad at you sidemisions aren't fun unless you like A to B point and then you meet with 10 loading screens in that area and filled with braided AI...

I mean, I got about 30 hours into it. It feels like a 2010 Bethesda game. It’s not bad. But it just feels like Skyrim in space to me. I played the heck out of Skyrim, but I want something fresh in 2023.

@@harambe855 to be fair that’s how it was advertised.

Most of us aren't impressed with the game, at all, why is that so hard to accept? This review feels like it was paid for.

Ign spain gave 10/10 as well

Think it’s more so that ign and gamespot alike have very limited attention spans and lack the ability to explore without a trillion markers on the map.

It won't. It's very shallow from a lore perspective.

​@@I-HAVE-A-BOMBhow so, there's factions, there's ways to non violently solve problems, many different guns, and options, how is there not alot of build potential?

Wow... just wow.

That's wild lmao

@@briangarner6103 favorite I’ve ever played and the best I’ve ever played are two different things ynow.

@briangarner6103 It's fascinating, isn't it.

@@briangarner6103 ?

Same

This game has NONE of that for the most part. My biggest gripe with Bethesda's new system of just slapping "perks" on base weapon models and calling them "legendary" ... I hate to always be the one bringing up how "New Vegas did it best", but the uniques in that game we're actually unique.
