Starfield is Genuinely Brilliant (1 Year Later) 

You’re genuinely a moron

You're a breath of fresh air. Man, the worst thing you can do is say your opinion may be "controversial"; opinions are not controversial, they're just opinions. The toxic culture of gaming and our social media obsessed society in general wants to make us feel bad for expressing our opinions if they are not "popular", like somehow it's lame to love a game that "everyone" hates. I love a lot of unpopular games and I'd never for a moment feel embarrassed about that. I think Fallout 4 is the best of the entire Fallout franchise and I think Starfield is even better than Fallout 4, and I couldn't give a flying rat's ass if anyone agrees with me on that or not. Great video liked and shared keep up the good work!

I agree with the majority of your points, however, I don't understand how you can say this game has the best exploration and world building of all Bethesda games... This is literally Bethesda's worst attempt at exploration due to the copy/paste points of interest and empty worlds...

I had never played a Bethesda game previous to this year, yet I’m having a blast playing Starfield. It’s a game for a more mature audience as there isn’t much sex, cursing, or drugs (from what I’ve seen), and it’s a really nice change of pace for someone like myself who also enjoys GTA. In Starfield the world isn’t out to get you, it’s waiting for you to explore it by meeting new people, forging new relationships, and getting thrown into unique situations. The choices I make during a quest-line have an affect on the outcome of the situation and also what other people believe or don’t believe, like the Terrormorph questline. Also, you receive exclusive spaceships, spacesuits, clothes, accessories, and official titles by completing these quests.

The only thing that breaks the game for me is leaving and landing on the planets, vehicles and flying in space . I wish it was more like no man's sky in that sense

I feel like they could just add some dynamic events and really make some sort of weather system. Play tornadoes, better storms, it would be so much better

Love the game as well. Agreed hands down to your synopsis.

I’ve been playing starfield for like a week straight now and I’m enjoying it

Upon release, I thought the game was meh. I rushed through the whole game to see this "New Game+". I didn't spend enough time anywhere to appreciate aspects of the game, and I let the internets opinion of this game ruin my own.. But... I'm currently 200 hours into my second playthrough, and I feel so incredibly immersed in this game and have not grown tired of it. Incredible story lines and characters, a well thought out universe, and some INCREDIBLY beautiful planets if you are willing to give exploration a chance. Once this game started getting hate, for things like 30fps on console at launch, no seemless launching/landing off of worlds, and IMO the MISUNDERSTANDING that all planets are barren of content, people just ran with the hate and it snowballed. I think many of us who love the game now were influenced by this hate at launch. This game wasn't given a fair chance and I hope after a few DLCs people come back and just play the game for what it is, I think they will thoroughly enjoy it

I love the gameplay but I hate the world. Everything about it feels wrong. Like how the Free Star Collective must have billions of citizens, but the Freestar Rangers is composed of five people and they have the owner of a strip mall space station on their council of governors. The game should have been set right after the evacuation of Earth, after an apocalypse that killed 99% of the population (that would still leave 100 million people) or more. That would be a perfect setting for pirates, poverty, and settlement building.

I did a whole Bethesda run from morrowind fallout to Skyrim. Went back to Starfield and I understand it now. It is a good game

I just started playing it and I’m actually enjoying it quite a bit. It’s not perfect by any means, but I like it enough to solely focus on it

I disagree. I think the game is terrible. It has improved in some quality of life ways, but I don't think it fixed the core problems. That said, I enjoyed seeing what you liked about it. I did not find the writing or worldbuilding interesting or immersive but I did like Neon better than other areas. To me it fails even in comparison to most Bethesda games. The side content is definitely where it is at though! I found that avoiding random radiant quests and locations and focussing on the sidequests improved my experience a lot. (Also Arasaka and Ryujin both take their inspiration from classic cyberpunk writing which was full of 1980s economic fears about the power and influence of a strong Japan.)

Same here. I love Starfield, even with its flaws.

Starfield is amazing, dont let people who copy all their opinions from youtubers tell you otherwise 😂

This has to be satire

Can't wait to get back into it once the dlc is out and space vehicles :)

Takes stones to say something positive about this game online. I respect it. Glad you enjoyed it!

Funnily I had the same experience as you did. Tried it, didn’t like it, put it aside and forgot about it until I watched a video. Tried it again and suddenly fell in love. It’s far from perfect but I had a lot of fun in this game in the end!

I love Starfield. Home run in my book. Have over 500 hours in it

It isn't.

Thank you for making this video bc this game gets such a bad rep and it’s the reason I didn’t play it for such a long time. I’m a nerd who’s obsessed with astronomy and I was excited to check this game out. But when I finally got my Xbox Series X and I heard all the bad reviews, I decided not even bother. Then one day while another game was updating, I saw I had some extra space, so I said what the hell. The best decision I’ve made this year. I absolutely LOVE this game. I’ve had it for maybe 3 weeks and I’ve put it over 55 hours. It’s football season and I rather play this game than watch football. I abandon my own family during football season, and now I rather play Starfield. Just to give people perspective lol. So that’s why I can’t understand for the life of me some of the complaints this game has received. How can people say there’s nothing to do lmaoooo. There is nothing BUT things to do. You can’t even finish a mission without stumbling into 2 other missions you can do later. Love the customization. Love the variety of missions so you can mix it up. The details and lore are impeccable as well. Is the game perfect?? No. But the potential for this game is endless. They have built the foundation to add on to this game for years to come. 1000 worlds they can continue to build onto???? Can’t wait to see what more they come up with #TeamStarfield

beautiful game, i absolutely loved every second of it. i genuinely dont understand the hate

I honestly keep going back to it. I can say that I’ve never wasted money on a Bethesda game. When you compare what some other developers are offering at the same price point, but that’s his games have always been a bargain in my opinion. I have returned to Skyrim fallout and Starfield all this year and have pumped in another 2 to 3 dozen hours into the games. I hardly ever do that with other games. Not only do I like to return to the atmospheres that they have created, but to see what mods or updates have done to the game progressively just keeps the replay value far greater than other games. For single player atmospheric games I think Bethesda still offers the absolute best for your money.

Thank you for making a passionate video on starfield. Way too much hate on this game.

Thanks man... Finally some content that is not just trashing the game saying that is the worse game of this decade... I've playing Starfield since de Launch and, yes it's not perfect, but the good parts of it are absolutely Majestic... Companions are great, even Sarah, that can bother sometimes, has a great side quest... The updates helped the game to get better and better, and the new dlc has a lot of potential... Starfield is actually a really good game, that i think now can be called Underrated...

Starfield is by no means perfect, but it isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. The main quest is where it falls flat for me, but that's the case for every Bethesda game imo. starfield's main quests really makes you think towards the end before the unity, it gives you a choice of morality which i really enjoyed and wished there was more of. The UC vanguard quest/Ryujin/Crimson fleet questlines are all great and blew me away on first playthrough, and they really felt like the true Bethesda styled questlines, and reminded me so much of old Bethesda games. the gameplay is easily the best out of all Bethesda games, gunplay/ship battles feel great. and ship building is phenomenal. My only complaint there being that melee kinda sucks, and the gun variety is poor. I really liked the addition of the "persuade" in dialogue but it feels like they focused too much on that and let go of a lot of other dialogue features that i miss. starfield is by no means perfect, but it is not a bad game either, its a solid 7/10 for me, with potential to grow higher with future dlcs. as all Bethesda games start to shine with their dlcs In my opinion. skyrim with no dlc wouldnt be nearly as fun for me, same with oblivion and fo4.

About time this game gets a love review this game is fantastic and I love it

It's trash.

I was a bit meh with starfield, after the rev8 update I hopped back in. I changed the difficulty to make enemies really strong, but also me really strong, so enemies aren't spongy. I also removed enemy markers and most of the hud. Now I have to play really tactically. A mod to change planet gen and up the amount of flora. Now forests feel like real forests. I'm having a great time now!

I really love the game now, when I first started the game a year ago I almost rage quit at least a dozen times, it was so buggy and was really trying to melt my CPU. But they fixed it, runs great now, not perfect but darn good. I'm kinda a space geek though, grew up with a dad who worked for an aerospace company so my whole bedroom was covered in space stuff. I spent hours drawing spaceships and battles, so this game just reached that inner child and instead of drawing soaceships im making them and exploring and having space battles. I have no doubt got my money's worth and now with modders this game will just get better and better like most of their games

Just checked my stats and I have played Starfield for a collective amount of 11 days and 13 hours (277hrs) and been having a blast. Did all of the main and faction quests, did most if not all of the side content, made some cool ships and outposts, I even NG+ a couple of times. Now with that being said, how is anyone able to play a game for 500 hours or more and still not like it? I understand not feeling it within the first 2-5 hours and put it down but to trudge through a game that you don't even like for that long is crazy! Just rage playing the game, not even enjoying what they're doing

starfield is not great, it’s not bad. starfield is starfield. it’s exactly how a game made by bethesda ultimately would be. that’s really it.

Been through the Unity 24 times, presently at level 242. Still loving the gameplay. Waiting patiently for Shattered Space DLC. The people that can't stand for others to have their own opinions are the trolls here, Melvin.

For me, not having a map helped highlight the amazing job they did with the in-game directions. Knowing i want to go somewhere (like the trade authority), finding a kiosk that will tell me which district its in, then using the signs to find my way there, slowly memorizing the city layout, in my mind, is so much better than placing a marker and following the big glowy thing. This is not to excuse not having a map though. Just because i liked it is no excuse for not having one in a game about exploration in 2023.

The like to dislike ratio really just shows how people can't take a different opinion these days when it comes to gaming. So what if he likes Starfield? I really like it personally but I'm not gonna go disliking every video critical of it or hate on anyone. Heck, I watched another video just now that was very critical of it but well thought out and funny. Did I disagree with some points? Certainly, but he was entitled to his opinion too.

"a youtuber i respect quite a bit: fextralife" certified bruh moment

Its an ok game. The real problem is that with the sheer amount of time they had to work on this game. I just expected a more refined experience on par with Skyrim. Better armor crafting, weapon crafting aesthetically speaking. Dragonborn 2.0 powers didnt look or sound more unique in terms of magic space powers to LOOK more cool and have more impactul gameplay. Not be weaker than a single bullet. Another issue is the vast majority of NPC's are all preachy as hell, and no real way to be who you want your character to be. IE good or bad Starborn which the game explicitly says you should do what you want. But every scripted reaction is always negative almost always. Nothing like Skyrims nuance with Dark brotherhood and thieves guild with actual rewards My final real issue is just the starborn items themselves and how just... Mediocre but cool looking they are. Its like they intentionally developed 99% of the games armor and ships to look meh, but the ONE cool upgrades arent good statewise and cant even be upgraded without replaying the game 10x over, and they STILL get less than ideal stats even at max playthroughs Talk about a stick without a carrot. Its a fine game to waste time in if you have nothing else. But I will never call this game brilliant tbh

People being mad that someone enjoys a videogame is just wild to me. So many people in the comment section crying and having a meltdown because you actually enjoy Starfield, if I hate a game I simply never think about it again, not hang around starting fights with people in comment sections under videos about said game lol that’s some serious basement dwelling virgin energy. Anyways I absolutely adore this game, I think if people just hop into the side content a lot of minds would be changed.

And cue the heel face turn lmao I think we're going to see more and more reviews like this. But yeah, I've loved Starfield since it released.

I like Starfield. There is just a hater bandwagon there for people to feel included like they never were in high school. They will complain about it online, yet somehow felt motivated to invest 100s of hours into it. 🤷

I'm glad that you enjoyed this game. It's so cool that everyone can have such different opinions about the same game. That being said, I disliked this video cause starfield is poopy from a butt.

Seeing a lot of videos like this coming out now! It took me about 10 hours to get a feel for starfield & having loved fo4 & skyrim so much in the past, i was disappointed not to just jump in & love it from the first second. Then i decided to stop projecting what the game "should" be & just let it tell me what type of game it actually was. Unfinished in many areas yes, but overlooking those flaws, it's actually a really good game & doubtless will become great in time through dlc.

Its my first time playing and i reached 25hs and im fking loving it.

This is the one of the few rare games that I've put over 100+ hour into (the other being Zelda Breath of the Wild) This was when the internet was telling me that rhe game is "terrible"🙄 This is why people should form their own instead of listening to clickbaiting youtubers and influencers

One of few games I actually finished main story in quite some years :D Can't say it's very good but it's alright

The game is fine, not Bethesda's best but their games tend to get better as time goes on. The hate is way too overblown

Lmao wow. Sorry but the game is meh. 6/10. Boring writing bad voice acting and copy and paste feeling all over the environments.

Played Starfield on launch and been playing again using the gameplay options they added and some soft mods. So far it's being one of the best experience in games I ever had. I recommend changing the combat to extreme damage from enemies and easy for player, so the combat feels more strategic.

What song did you use for the video? it's fire!

I think that’s one of the best reviews I’ve seen for Starfield. You hit every point right on the head.

nah brudda this game is utter dog shit. top 5 worse AAA releases in 10 years

I've loved Starfield since day one...preordered, had my work computer's wallpaper as Starfield concept art for a year or more leading up to launch, have a Starfield t-shirt, etc. I still love the game and it is among my favorites, but it's not without its flaws and downright bad aspects. Despite its flaws, I have over 250 hours in the game and I'm looking forward to going back and playing it again once Shattered Space drops. I've been saying for 6+ months that we're going to start seeing more "Starfield is underrated" type videos coming out as time goes on, and it looks like that has started as I've come across 3 videos like this one in the last couple weeks. Good video, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

Thank you for a video!

Starfield has the potential to be BGS best game. I hit NG+ 1, set my lvl 80 character up with all the best gear, 900,000 creds & a smugglers outpost with over 300,000 worth of contraband and turned it off about 5 months ago. Being lvl 80 I’ve pretty much seen all it has to offer so I’m not going back until the games actually “Finished” with land vehicles & DLC so It’ll feel like a fresh new game

I've been in it since early release, about 1200 hrs so far. Mod baby mod. Like a commenter on another video that said Starfield is going to become our Skyrim where you fire up Starfield to play your mods, I am there. I'm deep into the Darkstar mods. Simply satisfying.

Yes. Its brilliant. ❤

Hating an inanimate object because other people enjoy it is beyond stupid but that’s where we are at today. I find starfield enjoyable the mods are pretty awesome so far too and the dlc is coming soon so I’m excited for what’s next. I wouldn’t let the people the people with a raging hate boner for the game ruin my experience, good on you for making actual content that’s not someone crying about starfield not being like fallout or no man’s sky. 👍

It's a great game indeed. I honestly believe that most of the internet haters haven't actually played the game and are going by e-celeb videos bashing the game. Some people genuinely tried and didn't like it, and that's fine, but most of the complaints i see in some comments are simply too vague or completely imprecise about what the game is. People claiming that the game is very buggy or broken is a dead giveaway to me that someone didn't play the game.

I spent LOTS OF TIME in STARFIELD & ELITE ODYSSEY ............... I haven't play BOTH for such a long time , BUT I am sure , I SHALL back to ODYSSEY , but I may not return to STARFIELD , REASON is simple ( for me ) ....... When i play STARFIELD , I am going through a story of somebody , When I paly ODYSSEY , I am creating my OWN STORY !!!! BUT one thing I have to be honest : even I upgrade my GPU and Mon to 2K standard , ODYSSEY's graphic is not as good as STARFIELD !!!! sad .....................

After returning to SF since I've last played it at the start of '24, I'm noticing that people are still complaining about all the things this game isn't, instead of appreciating that Bethesda really tried something new and imo did something special. Yes, there are bugs, but that's expected from a BGS title honestly, and it's been this way for at least 15 years; aka it's something that likely won't change. But SF offers something that so many players seem to be completely unaware of: It takes its' time to unfold. It seems to me that more and more people are unwilling or unable to take their time with something and appreciate it. Starfield won't work for someone who only wants instant gratification and results or who doesn't understand subliminal storytelling - or both. SF isn't Fortnite, it's not No Man's Sky, Star Citizen or Escape from Tarkov either. Hell, it's not even as close to Skyrim as so many people think it is. Skyrim itself is only remembered so fondly because there's a billion mods for it that lengthened the llife-cycle of that game. To me, it has always been pretty boring, I was always more of a Fallout fan tbh. But it doesn't matter here. What I'm trying to say is that in order to understand and appreciate Starfield, you have to take your time with it and let it sink in. The storytelling and quest system, while not flawless, is still deeper than what any of the previous modern Bethesda have offered so far. The fact that it's not something you're going to rush through to get your hourly dopamine hit is something that we should be thankful for, especially in the gaming world of today where most AAA-games aren't much more than giant microtransaction advertisements.

I always loved Starfield but it's probably b/c I had no expectations & no need to play it but all the videos (majority the bad ones) mad me want to try it when it came out free on gamepass. Man I had a blast & right now it fits into how I would play games after I completed them but didn't want to start over. I would make my own missions in my head. Like even gta 5 I played a lot of hours after I had completed the game. I was basically just a tow truck driver with Franklin or I would do supply runs with Trevor. Same with saints row 2. I did every u can do mission & faction wise & even activity wise. The main thing that hooked me was the UC faction quest. The factions were damn near games by themselves. I've went into damn near every system in the game. Not solar but things u can do. I never thought I would get into ship bubuilding b/c it looked to difficult but then at a time seeing everyone's ships on youtube made me want to invest time & skill points into ship building & piloting. It's krazy b/c that journey of becoming a pilot & master ship building along. So doing these things in between was just like living my life & working b/c the main mission doesn't pay u like that. I invested in the commerce skill. I was master weapon building, working on suit building, b4 I stopped. But the shattered space dlc made me come back to get back used to the game. Now ive been sucked into surveying planets & having a ball...KRazy how ive only been back 5 to 6 days & they've added the buggy so I dont have to jetpack everywhere to get resources

The lesson of this story: Don't listen to losers like Puke Stephens who go out of their way to hate on anything Bethesda. The game has always been pretty good, it just needed more fine tuning; admittedly, the main story is still rather bland. But now that the CK is out and modders can work their magic this game is the bomb!

My first game that really made me feel like i was the character. I love the traits, story and character creation. The amount of things to explore, the lore, and detail in my opinion are out of this world. The game is so damn fun! Ive also been playing on the hardest difficulty - this really helps with immersion!

I played Starfield for 140 hours at launch and binged it thoroughly. Absolutely loved it. All the negative reviews and crap online about the game honestly shocked me or felt very dishonest to me, and it still does. It was one of the best games I played that year, along with Mario Wonder. I can't wait for the expansion. I actually feel bad for the people who worked on the game because I think, for the most part, they all genuinely tried to make a great game. They were probably just as clueless about the reaction as I was. At the end of the day, I think there really was anti-Bethesda and anti-Microsoft sentiment that drove a lot of the hate towards Starfield. Everything from bandwagoning, to getting back at them for Fallout 76, to being upset that it was not coming to the PS5, to just hating Starfield because it was now an Xbox exclusive, and many other things. For the first week, I genuinely feel like most of the feedback wasn't really about the game. There were a whole lot of dishonest arguments and claims made, and a lot of extreme cherry-picking going on. But sadly, only a person who played it for more than an hour could tell you that honestly, and if you did try to correct the record, there was no shortage of people just waiting to dunk on you and strawman your positions and throw out ad hominem attacks. Because the hate on Starfield never stopped - IGN and several twitter accounts and channels wouldn't stop bashing the game, I actually felt like this was some form of coordinated propaganda to change public opinion. It doesn't make sense how this hate went on for literally 3 or 4 months after release. That's the really concerning part. This is a very disproportionate response, regardless of what one thinks of the game. And you even said it - it worked on you. That media machine actually got you to stop playing it. I feel like that was the intent. That's crazy to me. If you loved New Vegas and games like this, I would expect you to give it more of a chance. It's not every day a great western RPG of this style comes out. It's rare in fact. But the media bashing still worked on you. In my entire life, I have never seen a game more hated online compared to Starfield, and it's sad because the game, while not perfect, is genuinely fantastic. It's a very easy 8.5 or 9 out of 10 for me.

Lost me at 3:47 You're entitled to your opinion and personal experience, but I personally found neon to be one of the most underwhelming and poorly constructed major environments, and questlines, in any Bethesda title. Aside from the railroad in fallout 4 (what even was that) The on-the-rails Benjamin bayu questline. Mundane parcel packing job, for no reward at the end of the quest. Just some drab dialogue from the bartender. I had the most fun infiltrating the place to do the thing... This game has strengths, but the god awful quest design, world structure, and writing are it's greatest downfall. Amongst other drawbacks. My praise goes to it's surprisingly satisfying gunplay. Fun ship building mechanic (which I cheesed by playing as a cube). Everything else is just insultingly lazy. Todd can suck it.

Bought this game a week ago and i take my time exploring everything. Just landed on Mars and the underground city called Cydonia or something looks incredible with so much going on I don't even know who to talk to first 😅

I want to get back into Starfield. A lot of beautiful planets to explore... I just wish Bethesda wasn't so incompetent when it comes to writing.

Its a great game. I very much enjoyed the first play through. The glitches during some missions sucked tho an the side quests were pretty cool. Ship building is fun once youre high enough leveled up Outposts are new to me, so I may get into those next play through.

Just started playing the other day, this game sucks but it’s cool, don’t know how else to explain it.

That has to he a fucking joke

Mfs that never played cyberpunk 2077

Starfield isn’t brilliant have you even played the other games this is most lackluster one even more than 76 at lauch honestly you might like it now but give it time it will fall off wouldn’t think twice abu finishing it next time or exploring the planets or doing certain quests ain’t worth it I’m ok with someone liking this game but they always make excuses for the game justifying it’s flaws when it lauch it got a lot criticism and people calling this the best game of the year that should get award and was being told that this was the next Skyrim not even close and no the factions and consequences are not like Fallout new Vegas your off your gourd with that one

I decided to play a new game after running through mass effect again, and I'm far far more addicted to SF than ME (which is a fantastic time). I cannot stop playing it and am loving the hell out of starfield all over again. I know the internet says I'm supposed to hate it, but no. No, it is incredible.

I agree. It's not perfect. I'd argue it's not even finished yet. And I don't like how they are using monetization (or rather over monetization). However, what I've played: I have enjoyed thoroughly I lost interest after about 200 hours during it's release. And treated it much like I did Skyrim: I'll play a little each year. Watch how the game evolves, what modders do to it, see what DLC's add, and watch it grow. This was not a great game on day one. Rather, it created a foundation for a great game to be built upon. Time will tell if that comes to fruition.

These are the types of reviews I enjoy. Most reviewers literally live off of playing games so obviously, if a game isn't 100% perfect they won't like it. But, as a casual player myself, seeing reviews from other casual players helps me make my decision on whether or not I should get it. This is brilliant!

I think my biggest pet peeve is how life supporting planets are a dime a dozen in Starfield. In real life NASA freaks out at when they think they found another planet with liquid water. I'll say it again. I love the gameplay but hate hate HATE the world.

At no point listening was I ever thinking, this guy really thinks it is a good game. At the end you bring up the UI mod saying, "It is just weird that Bethesda still does not have this figured out." To which I am going to say you are wrong they do have it figured out, launch game with basic UI someone else that is not getting paid fixes it, an that is how these games actually are. So the reality comes down to this, are you the end-user interested in taking the game tools and polishing the game to what should have been its release state? If so well congrats you will likely enjoy the game, but if not well than the game was not really meant for you. Now this is a serious problem see the issue is that Bethesda is not a small company, it has games that are expected to compete against other games that come in a more reasonable state of release polish, and even if you were to have Bethesda polish an fix up the game well it is still not a real gem of a game, nope not until some group of people come in with a serious overhaul do the games finally get good. An we know this because we have a history going back 2 decades to prove that.

Honestly, I enjoyed a lot of aspects of this game. The questing is a step up from their previous titles. The worlds tend to feel very undercooked, especially compared to their previous titles where the entire thing was handcrafted. Major cities are cool, but their immediate surroundings are not, and that sense of wonder from exploration is, ironically, the weakest in this game out of any of their previous titles because of that. This _should_ be the game with the best exploration, but it's actually the shallowest when it comes to that. The procedural generation tools they created for this game are genuinely impressive, especially after giving the Creation Kit a look, it's very powerful stuff and creates very convincing worlds, albeit barren ones. The random outposts and points of interest do not have enough variations to justify the vast majority of the game being procedurally generated. I would've preferred 5-10 small planets with way more handcrafted points of interest than what we ended up getting.

Very brilliant game

The problem I think people have is they expected the game to be something that it isn’t. This game isn’t made for everyone. But the audience that it is made for do really enjoy it. I personally love a lot about the game and I 100% agree with the criticism that is valid. Yes the exploration can be better and the main story could be better but damn man it’s a pretty good Bethesda game at the end of the day. I occasionally will return to this game every so often when I get the urge. The soundtrack is super underrated too.

After all this time and hype and promise, they should've done better. one thing for sure, this game will never recover because it doesn't have solid framework to build upon.

I really really want to love Starfield but I just can't. I'm not able to develop feelings for this game. I just don't care about it. It was my most anticipated release the last years and I really had to force myself to keep playing. Deinstalled and installed it like 5 times already. Every 3 weeks or so I want to give it another chance because maybe I just was not in the right mood the last time but there's nothing everytime I start it. Started my 15th or so Skyrim run like 3 weeks ago and everyday I spent hours exploring Skyrim even tho I know everything already. Starfield does not give me that in the slightest. The comparison to Skyrim is a harsh one I know but Starfield just did not give me anything. Right now I'm installing it again to give it another try and I will keep on doing so until I have the fun I expected to have. But Starfield to me personally just feels somehow shallow and I doubt this will change over time. I was excited for the modding community to have a great impact on the game but Bethesda does not want modders to improve their games anymore. Various actions by Bethesda over the last years prove this. Overall Starfield shattered all my hopes and deams about The Elder Scrolls 6. I still can't really put in words my feelings towards Starfield. One word that comes to my mind is sad. I really don't want to ruin the game for the people that enjoy it. Just know I really envy you and wish I would've had the same experience you guys had

My personal opinion is starfield is the skyrim replacement. Since the pre-order early access started I haven't wanted to play skyrim anymore. Only BGS game I've been playing since it's release.

3:03 Just started this quest line yesterday for the first time. Was great, I’m just about to start the daughter father questline

Starfield exploration is dogshit comapared to skyrim, heck even Minecraft is a better game for exploration.

Mid game for this generation. Probably very good game Pre-2015.

Exploring is so much more fun now with the rover

This game is POTATO'S

I enjoyed it too. I think people played it expecting it to be something different. Also, Bethesda has earned a bad reputation in recent years. But to me Starfield is a fun game

just play cyberpunk for example and stop embarrassing yourself with your takes

Thank you. This is EXACTLY true. The Quests (and the Faction Quest in particular) are imo the best that BGS ever did. Its kinda sad this this all drowned in a flood of dumb hate-shit.

Being a fan of fallout 4 is a controversial opinion? That’s crazy I loved the game and so do all my other friends that love fallout. If there are a lot of people out there that don’t like it, that’s weird to me.

In my opinion this game is a masterpiece

For me thinks like NPC interaction and the amount of repeat random Space encounters followed by have many NPCs who you can not kill even if they are side quest givers falls short compared to Morrowind, New vegas and falllout 3. The main story also could have been better

BGS games are always so massive in scope and take so long to produce I think people are ultimately disappointed when it doesn't have the depth they are expecting. This is not because BGS is bad or lazy, it's because getting the game up to par with people's massive expectations would change development times from 7 years to 10+ with major support from the studio long into the future beyond even DLCs and patches

The one thing I strongly feel needs to be fixed and very well could be is smarter NPC. It completely breaks immersion when you can freely draw your weapon and no reaction from any NPC.

Fallout was a 7/10, with dlc it comes to a 8/10, starfield was a 6/10 with patches and the new additions like the missing map and a new rover the game gets a 7/10, we'll see what the dlc brings

Great video❤ I really love starfield but i have to say Bethesda could've done a much better job with making exploration or conversations more immersive. On the surface, starfield doesn't look that much interesting but the depth of stories and missions made me really love the game. They need to learn from larian and CDPR and improve those aspects of their games which they lacked on starfield.
