@JelliThePilot 10 месяцев назад

as a fan since my preteens, i'm so nervous about starfield. i want it to do well; bethesda has a mixed reputation these days amongst many gamers, far more than back in 2011 or 2015; but i truly think its because of how hard they leaned on skyrim specifically for the elder scrolls as well as fallout over the past decade. which is why i really think starfield is a make or break moment for the reality of bethesda's reputation. if everything, literally everything, from this doc and the years of interviews is true, then starfield is the passion project of one of the most tenured dev studios in the western rpg industry, who have likely been training a generation of eager and bright new devs who grew up on stuff like fallout 3 or skyrim. i'm in my early 20s and i've learned to stop being hyped, to never pre order, yadda yadda yadda all the dignified crap... but deep, deep down, i really want it to not just do good, but *be* good. because no nitpicking of todd's quotes or uneducated debate about game engines could ever stand up to "but they made skyrim in space".

@Robert399 4 года назад

@@balloonfiesta15 I agree that the "liar until accusations proven" attitude is horrible and needs to stop. An accusation alone can be _credible_ but that doesn't mean we should "believe the victims" because credibility's not enough to act on an accusation without evidence. I believe the actual bar at which action should be taken depends on the severity of the consequences: criminal punishment has "beyond reasonable doubt" standard while civil charges have only "more likely than not" (as should business and social repercussions, I believe). The unfortunate reality is that most sexual accusations are going to fall into the possible but not enough to act range. Quite simply, anyone who's not capable of handling that uncertainty in their mind (and I'm not aiming that at you) does not deserve to have an opinion on these issues.

Todd Howard is the man. One of the few heads of games development that has his heart in the right place. Obviously he's there to make money, but he does so by trying to create truly great games first and foremost which is rare in the gaming industry when there are so many easier ways to make money these days

@Averagebater Месяц назад

I like Todd and he has seemed like he has held onto the love of the company that was there when he started. For how long? Who knows but for now it's been good and the money has yet to put his balls in a vice. The loremaster of elder scrolls has his shit DOWN i dont need to worry there, now fallout on the other side of things has changed hands many times and utilizing Todd as the loremaster is definitely a worrying thing for fallout 5 as a true fallout fan.. some of the lore that went into 76 almost completely derailed the series.. if it were me I'd be signing tim cain on a sweet pot contract for at least some final imput.. especially when they think about inventing and implementing their own creatures to the series.. 🤦‍♂️

It will be ESO in an apocalypse though. Bethesda make single-player games you can disappear into but you can't disappear into an MMO. You would think having real people in a game would deepen the immersion but it rarely does, it just takes it out of it as soon as you enter a lobby where every is spamming WTB and WTS at each other and there are naked players running around screaming "HaXor nub!" at one another. The apocalypse will likely have stupid people in it but it won't have whiney, millenial gimps who use single-letter words and speak in all caps because they would have been murdered within the first hours of the apocalypse. I wouldn't expect to find them alive after WW3 so I shouldn't expect to find any in Fallout 76/Fallout Online either.

@AstronautConejito 6 лет назад

I just love the ambient/theme music from all games -- especially Oblivion's. Also, it's so cool that in Fallout 3, we are born inside the vault. So, when the vault dweller leaves the vault, we are experiencing the world, the wasteland for the first time just like our vault dweller. Our ignorance of the world is our character's ignorance -- so immersive. I'll never forget leaving vault 101 (that overwhelming feeling). I hope Bethesda returned to that concept in FO76.

Excellent work, NoClip. You earned a subscriber! :) The thing I like about behind-the-scenes documentaries is you see how normal a lot of game developers are. Often times, we put them on a pedestal, for better or for worse, but at the end of the day they are people just like you and me who love games (art & science). The part that cemented this for me is how I can relate to the design process many of them use for BGS open world games: They start with the map (setting) and then go from there. It a very simple concept, but it's how I would approach any kind of open world project because it's logical and provides a good foundation for everything else.
