"Welcome to the Salty Spittoon, how tough are ya?" "How tough am I? HOW TOUGH AM I?! I beat Balder's Gate 3 before breakfast!" "Yeah, so?" *"Without any sexy times."*

Bethesda went full on emo head case with the companions. I hate every single one of them. Vasco isn't so bad, but he has a REALLY bad habit of running me over all the time, doesn't get stealth at all, none of the companions do, and... *sighs* yeah, Bethesda may very well have created a game by them that I will truly come to despise. The whiny emo companions are just too much.

lol It truly is astonishing how they made a game this good on a 20+ year old game engine.....kudos to the developers but Im hoping this is the Creation Engines swansong.....let the engine go, Bethesda......they should team up with Hello games if theyre gonna make a sequel......so many loading screens.....so many

I'll go 8 but 7 isn't crazy

​@@weedthepeople2795I actually though the Loading screens were the best so far in this Bethesda franchise. They inly lasted like 5 seconds tops for me, Didn't even have time to open up my phone and watch a UKposts vid while I waited. But thatl probs change when we get mod support and I have like 50 mods

@@weedthepeople2795 They rebuilt a lot of the engine for this game (that's why they now call it Creation Engine 2). You all realize Unreal Engine is over 20 years old, too, right? You don't need to completely rebuild game engines every few years, that'd be a huge waste of time/money. Unreal/Unity/etc all just do iterative upgrades/tweaks/changes over time, that's how software versioning works. Don't confuse what I'm saying as defending Bethesda, I agree the game handles scene transitions poorly, but switching to a new engine wouldn't magically fix this problem.

@@weedthepeople2795 The engine is important for the game to be ridiculously moddable. No other engines let you mod their games so easily. Even without the official modding tools yet, the game literally has thousands of mods, some are pretty in-depth.

Didn't you know? In today's Triple-AAA game environment, it's all about *ENGAGEMENT*, not about silly notions like "having fun".

@antney7745 I've been spoiled the past couple months honestly. Playing Spider-Man 1, Miles Morales, and now addicted to Cyberpunk 2077. Then Spider-Man 2, hell yea!!

Base game definitely seems like that, think they are right that a 6 or 7 out of 10 feels about right. There is a lot there it just doesn't feel like something that really engages and pulls you along. That said have big hopes that given a little time the modding community will be able to take what's in and make it a game to play. Should that be the responsibility of the player base? Probably not. Am I glad they might be able to though? Most definitely.

Starfield modders: you don't need the costumes

Starfield modders: So you want a milking station for the men and the women?

Starfield modders: I got banned for taking pronouns out

Actually, it turned out to be more like Starfield modders: Yeah, nah. No point polishing this turd, we're out. See ya back in Skyrim.

Sexy, but also capable of protecting the wearer from the vacuum of space.... i'm sure someone will figure it out.

Reminds me of an old saying. "Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle." When the Bethesda Workshop comes out for this, the smoke and mirrors will be even further revealed.

I agree, it feels actually quite small, watching the settlements it seems like all Humanity shrinked down to a few thousands people. However I think that most defects can be addressed by Bethesda o by modders. No more stupid cutscenes/animations everywhere, more variety in the dangeons on the planets (they are all the same!!!) And put a fcking vehicle to navigate on the planets. About all rest, shitty main quest, stupid NPC, bugs, mostly you can't do nothing

Bethesda was aiming for quantity over quality... But when they couldn't deliver on quantity, they settled on minimum quality and forced you to run everywhere for a false sense of quantity.

@@watchlover7750 Any game whose defects need modders to be addressed will never be better than 7/10.

I’m waiting for a few years from now when the modding community has completely fixed every glaring issue, and added the entire Star Wars legacy / systems as play-able content.

And let’s face it Mike was right…

His head will explode in a Michael Bay cinematic style.

Or Todd Howard according to some.

The funny thing is though, it is easier to give drilling experts some basic astronaut training and send them on a mission as specialist than it would be to teach professional astronauts how to drill. NASA routinely sends to space mission specialist who are experts in their field. And regarding a mission that has the fate of the world on the line, NASA would want the best drillers up there dealing with all things drilling related.

Well, in defense of Starfield, thoe miners are basically already 90% there. You start the game on a pretty much lifeless rock with no O2 present so. They were basically astronauts holding drills really.

Agreed. I also felt like they took some of several popular games, and included only the barest of minimums from those while completely removing everything that made those games fun.

Comparing it to Skyrim is a serious insult to Skyrim.

I hate that I agree with you... I liked what I played with Starfield, and yet somehow it just ended up mid.

Yet, they won't show to your wedding.

Not lying there. It is the same damn engine because for some reason they cant put Gamebryo to rest.

​​@@BoinkrNanisDilauge?

I saw an interview with Todd Howard where he SPECIFICALLY mentions SkyUI being a must-install... and yet here we are with Starfield... thank Jah for modders - StarUI is pretty dang great.

That's the most exciting part of the game so far for me. I just got to the bit where I get powers and had to do like 10 fetch quests to get that.

That’s some Edgar Wright editing lmao

They already do! Since day 1 ;-)

The best one is the loading screen with sexy AI images not those space images.

The modders will have you covered, and the people, uncovered.

Someone never found the Bikini.

We all know this, but why does it have to be that way? Studios like Rockstar and CDPR (to name just the big ones) acknowledge human sexuality, at least. Why does Bethesda refuse to?

I love that the first two comments, at least for me, were people defending Spaceship Earth's honor. (Although the Jeremy Irons version was better than the current one...)

From Bethesda? Half a dozen DLC that don't do much. From the community? 3,000,000+ mods that actually make the game better.

​@@SpellBinder_883alot of the DLC's provide a framework and more content to play around with for modders though.

Space horse + space horse armor on the grav drive shop?

@@SpellBinder_883 "3,000,000+ mods that actually make the game better." or hornier, or both!

@@SpellBinder_883 They're combing that "half a dozen DLC" into one DLC. There's only gonna be the one. Also, DLC are pretty damn expansive in Bethesda games. Typically adding whole new locations and a full blown quest as big as the main story (and infinitely more interesting (cuz let's be honest we play the games for the side quests and ignore the main story). Or adding house ownership and homestead building into a game w/o those mechanics.

To be fair - it was not THAT bad. The delay on Starfield was a good thing. Better a 7/10 than how disastrous both Cyberpunk and NMS were at launch (BG 3 is still goty, though)

100%

My game breaking bug was a character I sunk 24 hours into levelling so I could have all the best perks before join the fleet as a smuggler only to have the key glitch becoming un enterable Only fix would’ve been to wait for an update but I didn’t have that kind of time on my hands

I tried to rename a ship that I had spent over 300,000 credits on in upgrades and then it changed the name to literally nothing, ship name is just blank. And it deleted all the cargo in my ship, which was about 2000 mass of stuff

I have had a few myself. One where my ship either despawned or cloned itself on itself. Causing any attempts to board or fasttravel to not work. Another where first person mode just didn't allow me to move in any direction. I could still look around and fight but I couldn't move. Or one where you show up at a random space encounter of evil faction vs good faction and they both are hostile and attack you and fighting back gave a bounty Finally I got a weird one where the time slow skill just stayed on perminately and gave the following features: 1. Any gun equiped only allowed to shoot once. No reloading. 2. Once in the air always in the air unless you can somehow reach a work bench. 3. Energy bar never recharges.

I mean for all that people like to pretend that NMS had a glow up, none of its actual problems, that being a bland, pointless sandbox with zero reason to explore in very short order or any reason to care, actually got fixed. It has a story now, I guess, but it's garbage too so....

​@@akumaouja4062So your saying that you haven't played No Man's Sky since launch.

@@perceivedvelocity9914 What I'm saying is I booted it up after the last update and it was still a bland souless puddle.

@@akumaouja4062 I gotta agree. I actually have more fun playing Starfield's take on No Man's Sky style scanning than I do actual No Man's Sky. Also, given that NMS is more space fantasy than sci-fi, it doesn't really scratch that "space game" itch for me. "Bland, soulless puddle" is a little harsh though. The artstyle, though not my thing definitely has some heart and soul put into it.

57? Those are rookie numbers

The sad differene is that their previous games where enjoyable even without the mods.

57 mods is the first week you discover mods. Months later is when you're looking at an 800+ mod list at the very least, thinking maybe you have enough, or maybe just one more, or maybe ten more. You'll play the game again eventually. Just one more look though the recent uploads, just one...

@@liquidbruce9787 No they weren't. Starfield is still the most ready-to-ship game Bethesda has ever released. It doesn't require mods to literally fix it up (mostly), just to enhance it further. Its gameplay also works even if it is kinda bland. The original Skyrim was way less playable on release, and has entire mod packages just to get to fix all the bugs it had.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn It shouldn't be something that gets applauded but that's a good point, not getting enough credit for one of the only games to be pretty much completely playable by a studio this big on release in a long time it seems like...

I think you need to watch Armageddon again.

You havent experienced Spaceship Earth until you've rode it while blazed out of your mind.

It's the perfect "I need a break from Florida heat and I don't want to walk to Living Seas" ride.

God I miss 80's Epcot so much. Spaceship earth is like a time capsule. Everything else in the park has changed, arguably for the worse, but spaceship earth remains.

You know, this makes me think of the feeling of deja vu I got when I first arrived at New Atlantis. It reminded me of something but I couldn’t place it. But I think this is it. It reminds me of classic Epcot, very much including spaceship earth. Ten year old me was standing there slack jawed when I left the landing pad, and I just now realized what he was seeing. Not just the Nasapunk look in general but specifically New Atlantis looks like what “the future” was supposed to look like when I was a kid, and I don’t really see that look much anymore.

Cyberpunk looking better and better

Is that when subconsciously your standards lower instead of the game getting better ;)

@@mattm7798 no, it's just when you realize most reviews are filled with clickbait and lies (this one's a pretty honest review).

@@rewpertcone8243 100 bucks seems like a steal, just get this - it's just 0,03 buck (or 3 penny) per hour of gaming in those 3000 hours!

I don't like companions. Why would I want an AI fighting enemies for me? It's just watching AI fight AI, might as well watch AI FIFA play itself. What would have been groundbreaking would be to have allowed a co op feature on the game, play the whole Starfield story with friends.

That's why I will wait and see if Steam has a sale in the next year on the game, and purchase then, I can wait, been waiting for SC about the same time.

SC has way more potential but the devs are batshit insane about level of detail that it delays everything. It would be nice to have a truly open world space game that looks great.

@@vomitkermit3446 sc is a scam. cr will milk that gave as long as possible

In a year, with Creation Kit, this game will be amazing with mods. As every Bethesda game for me, I'll play vanilla and then play something else until updates and quality mods come out, and then spend 100's of hours playing it. Probably until TES 6 or GTA 6, whatever comes first

Couldn't agree more. Right now, after almost 300 hours, it's good. But not THAT good. 7/10

Um the nude mods were out 28 or so hours into the early access.

that horrible mindset has probably made its way to bethesda by now so they're never going to bother making a great game, i've replayed skyrim probably 5 times without ever downloading a single mod

That's unfair to judge a game because modders helped. modders are outside help, not the developers. it deserves the 7.

Same opinion as yours = accurate 😂

​@@Joe-no7gswhat do you mean 10 year old game. The engine is new and the actual game was in production for more than 10 years. If this game was 10 years old it would look nothing like how it does.

It is literally skyrim in space. Maps labelled as planets. The loading screens you got when entering doors in skyrim are just flying/landing cutscreens in starfield.

@@redeyejedi17 It's not skyrim in space. It's bethesda's laziest game ever made, that doesn't have the game design to be called skyrim in space.

@@seanvelvet141 I was referring more to how dated the game feels.

I haven't played it, but the discourse I've seen about it suggests that 7/10 is pretty spot-on. It looks like it does some things really well, but you have to balance that against the dated game engine, immersion-breaking loading screens, and limited planet traversal.

@@InJeffable it really needs mods and, more importantly, the creation kot. Skyrim got where it did thanks to mods. That said, this is a fresh ip for Bethesda, so hiccups were to be expected. Arena was not exactly a "perfect" game

seriously. I kept telling people its either your game or its not. but people insist on comparing it to bg3 or cyberpunk.

@@Pure_Havoc to be fair BG3 really hit it out of the park as an RPG. I am a Bethesda fan, but I am also a fan of Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 and Icewind Dale 2. And Arcanum, which I will compare BG3 more to. Also, and as XCOM fan, BG3 scratched some several itches I have been missing for a few years now. Its a really great game, and Larian deserves all the acclaim for it. BUT - Starfield is fun, and I will play more of it once more mods turn up

It most certainly does not deserve a 7/10 for the state it's in and the price it goes for. 6/10 sounds more fair to me. As someone who loved previous Bethesda games (even with Todd's lies), this game is a turd. If this game came out like this 6 years ago, sure, but today there is simply no excuse for Bethesda to leave in all the downsides of all previous games while breaking immersion completely. And the way the game is designed with all the fast travel and loading screens, means that even mods probably won't save this one for me. Pity...

Ship building is also my favorite part of the game. Planet exploring...not so much sadly

you're a life long player of Star field? that is what you say...and means in addition, so you're a life long bethesda fan boy and life long player of star field.... I can tell you play their games, you don't seem to have a grasp of English Gramar.

@@ravinraven6913 His sentence was fine actually. He lists 2 things that he is 1) A lifelong Bethesda fanboy 2) player of starfield. You applied the description "lifelong" to both items which is something you can do but in context doesn't make much sense unless he's literally a baby. If you want to talk about grammar you ironically spelt grammar wrong and used an uppercase letter for the first letter which again is ironic because you didn't use a capital letter for the start of your first sentence. Now obviously we are online so who gives 2 shits about grammar but if you are going to criticise someone else's grammar maybe check your own first but also maybe stop correcting people's grammar especially if you are going to do it wrong.

@@matthewtalbot-paine7977 - [golf clap] well put!

If Dark Souls and Castlevania had a kid and only let it read Dante's Inferno.

If you seriously think starfield feels smaller than those games, you haven’t played enough of it

The handcrafted landing zones are straight eye candy. As is looking out into space at night (since the planets move real time and there are no skyboxes). Space travel isn't done in a menu, that's just one option of space travel. You can Skyrim it, look in a direction or towards your quest marker and just head there by using your Grav drive. The size of the landing zones is huge and you'll never hit the border if you play the game like it's actually a game and you aren't actively looking for the edge of the world to prove the game has flaws.

Seriously?

@@connieellerbe-maycock7115 Yes. Say I start at the Constellation HQ in New Atlantis for a mission, I leave the house, loading screen, I walk through New Atlantis to the transit station loading screen, I walk to my ship, loading screen, I sit down in cockpit and take off, loading screen, I'm in space and in order to go anywhere I have to open the map menu, I choose my destination, loading screen, I'm in space above the new planet, select open planet map, chose a landing spot, loading screen, get up from the pilot chair and walk through the ship to get to the planet surface, loading screen, I'm finally on the surface and able to explore, oh wait there's a cave, another loading screen. And this is me trying to engage with the game like I would with Skyrim or Fallout and not fast travelling everywhere to explore and see what I can find. But it's all loading screens. I might as well just open the map, select the planet and hit land and boom I'm there no travel, nothing to explore or encounter. There's no cohesion to the universe of Starfield.

I agree

99 problems but F-zero ain't one 😂

I agree with the game needing more cities or big hub zones. It feels like there are almost no humans around and that 80% of the humans alive are space pirates. The Freestar rangers said they have less than a dozen active members. That is unbelievably low considering they are the second major faction in the universe and they have less than 12 cops.

The whole game is 'safe'. Almost politically correct and boring.

I just realized last night that planet scanning is basically Power Wash Simulator with 16 times the detail.

​@@mayowankenobi I ❤ PWS

how high were you

I absolutely love Starfield. I don't know my total hours in it but I know it's an unhealthy amount. The combat is amazing, the story is umm... well a story and so far I can't find an end to the side quests. Spent 5 hours making a freighter, it has way too much storage, like 6000, just to remember that a big, slow ship is terrible at combat and had to spend another 5 hours making it usable in fights. I don't even do space missions. I'd rate it 7/10 chunks

Fast travelling settlement to settlement (planet to planet) and everything ship wise in terms of distance travel, landings, taking off, flying anywhere that isn't space, is just a cut scene, it's very disappointing in that record. I had imagined it to be this big world where I can fly my ship over the planet, choose where I land in the place I'm flying to, blast off through the atmosphere into space and all in once sequence hyperdrive to another star system and then fly down through the atmosphere, maybe skimming some valleys with some raider ships in pursuit before landing where I want. It's all just automatic cut scenes, or loading screens depending on how we look at it, disappointment. I went back and played Fallout 4 instead and think it's a way better game for its time.

​@picklerick2861 "The combat is amazing..." for a betheseda game, maybe. Melee is the worst it's ever been and the skyrim stealth archer build has returned with a vengeance.

@@picklerick2861 Big Ships can be cool if you use the auto firing turrets, and lots of them! A couple on the front and several on the back and sides. Some of the powerful ones kill ships before I even get a lock on.

​@@MrDrManPerson I could care less. I like my hi-tech shooty space guns, and no one can change my mind.

Or they coulda just done a light speed travel feature. That would’ve been far better than simple loading screens

There's actually a really cool side quest that deals with that. Generations of people in a ship who traveled without grav drives and taking centuries to reach the next system. It's such a cool concept that I wish there were something like it in the main story so more people could see it.

@christopherlyndsay8611 lightspeed traveling isn't what's use though. It's all explained in game and it makes sense. It takes finding the information in game, reddit, UKposts, ect.

@@HoodNinjaichi then use whatever logic the game has for its universe to make travelling more than just a loading screen

​@@christopherlyndsay8611yep. Its not like a game where logic can be twisted, right?

No you are most likely not, but all those 10/10 scores are ridiculous.

You can enjoy it, but it's definitely a disappointment and not at all groundbreaking in any way. Fallout 4 was way better for its time than this. It's basically just Fallout 4 with a worse story, and instead of being free to run the map, find settlements and so on, you fast travel settlement to settlement in a spaceship that serves no real purpose aside from looking nice on a cut scene/loading screen.

Yeah I love it

​@@BrianMillsSkillsSorry Man but that's an Opinion its a disaapointment to you but to some it might not be. So don't go telling around people to enjoy a game.
