Starfield

(Add 60 hours of Xbox playtime to my Steam playtime.) Starfield is a vastly over-hated game. It has flaws, it's far from perfect, but it's also so much better than typical public opinion would have you think. It has the bones of your typical Bethesda RPG, as you might expect, but instead of exploring a region of Tamriel or post-apocalyptic America, you're exploring the Settled Systems, a cluster of systems in a region of the Milky Way with its own settings, factions and history. The story is fun, the characters are likeable, and the aesthetics are visually appealing. The biggest negative talking point about this game is its procedurally generated planets, and if you're unfamiliar with Starfield, you'd be forgiven for thinking the entire game is procedurally generated. It's not. It has as much hand-crafted environmental work as any other Bethesda RPG, it just happens to be nestled inside a much wider span of generated environments in order to sell the feeling of a vast, explorable frontier. And perhaps the game would be better if Bethesda had focused on a handful of fully hand-crafted planetary locations, but I'm someone who genuinely enjoys exploring those quiet wastes, deserts and valleys. It's certainly faster to get to locations now with the vehicle they added. Ignore the haters and the outrage merchants, and form your own opinion. Check out the trailers, the screenshots, the overviews. Does the game look and sound interesting to you? Then try it for yourself. Don't just mindlessly regurgitate the same tired talking points from people who would have you angrier about yellow paint and reflections in puddles. Those people are just being loud for attention, because we live in an age of the internet where getting attention of any kind can make you rich.

jogo maravilhoso! tem seus defeitos, tem suas falhas e infelizmente e tao raso como uma poça d agua. mas pela experiencia de vc criar seu personagem, e ter um roleplaying aonde vc pode ser e ir e ser o que quiser de acordo com a sua imaginação e intepretação ele faz tao bem como skyrim ou fallout. é uma pena ele ser o mais nutellinha entre os jogos da bethesda no quesito ser mal e o jogo e bizarramente mal otimizado fazendo pela primeira vez o processador trabalhar 100% aonde nunca vi um jogo fazer tal feito.

3 years into release and still bug after bug including game breaking ones. Must be some new record for Bethesda.

TBH I haven't played a second of vanilla Starfield but the Star Wars conversion is amazing

why no mods in this game? Thats what make skyrim a great game. The creators need to put modding in this game and it would be amazing.

Dope game, doesnt deserve the negativity it received on launch, and still has now. I never expected it to dethrone Elder Scrolls mainline games, but i still had alot of fun with it. The procedural gen needed more work, but the scale of the worlds can be really impressive. The improvements to the Creation Engine are massive, it is great to have the ability to both drag/drop AND also use the Decorate mode! The shipbuilding is amazing! Especially with some mods. I probably spent 1/4 of my total playtime in the ship builders. I also enjoyed the base building overall, it improved over Fallout 4 a few ways, but it wasnt an amazing or innovative system. I enjoyed it mostly building an aesthetically pleasing view overlooking alien trees, planet rings, etc. The combat is fairly basic, but I did have a blast with the slow-mo jetpack gunplay. That was really rewarding and fun. The melee was sadly quite unimproved from Fallout 4, so I didnt spend too much time with those builds. Some of the traditional Bethesda difficulty scaling (aka damage multipliers) was annoying, but there are plenty of skill points and when you max out the relevant damage perks it seemed to outscale the difficulty. Especially with Terran Armada guns. Speaking of - the DLCs I thought were much too short but at least they were well done. The environments in the first one and the weapons and zero G combat of the 2nd DLC were enjoyable enough. The MTX market to buy more DLC wasnt what a lot of people want, but I think it is good to offer mod authors a way to earn $ for their work. Unpopular opinion, I am sure. The in-world justification for the NG+ system is excellent, and it can provide a lot of replayability for some ppl, but others may feel like the losses isn't worth it. My only complaint here is the dragon shout upgrading is now locked behind entering NG+ at least once, so it can feel like your first playthrough is a waste of time/effort. The upgrades are 100% worth the time though!!

I´ve played this game for more then a thousand hours. That should tell you alot. Is it a perfect game? No, but it´s still a good one

Enjoyed the game until I finished it...... Added Star Wars Genesis and became addicted again

Game runs okay and the story isn't to bad. The ship building is probably the best aspect of the game, but thats where the pro's end. The visuals are very washed out and faded. Its really hard to see anything. Majority of thr planets are a baren and empty wasteland devoid of life. I was kinda hoping to see more cool colony cities. Its open world yet feels very linear in the aspect there is nothing to actually do when you hop off the tracks and explore your own path. 6/10 game imo

Honestly I know there is a lot of Starfield hate but I have been having a BLAST. (pun intended)
