Starfield

Not buying another Bethesda game. What a disappointment. It's like 6/10 at best, can be fun but they flopped this so hard. Wasted potential.

if you like rpgs, shooters and settings in space, then dont play this game. this game does everything worse then its competitors. soulless and disappointing :( womp womp

This game sucks and is riddled with bugs literally unplayable. Nexus and Creations make it worse. Going to become one of the 22 vets a day if Todd Howard doesn't fix the next game. Also Sarah Morgan complains too much.

Its just really f***ing boring

All I can say is my own experience and I am obsessed with Starfield. I believe people view this as a shallow game because initially it seems that way I guess? But the more you play it the more intricate you realise it is. The skill system in this game is by far my biggest recommendation, never have I used so many or been so continously obsessed with what I'm getting next and why. I just think they're all so interesting and add to the experience. I have NEVER been so invested in all areas of a skill tree. If you like to make different builds then this is even better for you. First 50 hours I didn't think I'd bother with ship builds but now I do, I didn't think I'd do more than the bare minimum for an outpost but now I have plans for many. Everything just grows on you or maybe that's the wrong phrase, your eyes open to all the possibilities the more you play. I loved the Shattered Space DLC, I got lost in that for about 20 - 30 hours, I haven't even started Terran Armada and there's two factions I haven't finished yet and I'm 130 hours in. I find the gameplay just really addictive which is actually unusual for me, I like to play the story and move on whereas on Starfield I just want to play it, I don't care if I'm doing the story or surveying a planet or building a ship I'm just enjoying playing it and I don't care about finishing it and moving on, like Skyrim I think I could play it for years. I can't address the hate the game gets because I really don't understand it. I haven't had any bugs or issues either. I think it's like Nickelback, it's cool to hate it now and no one is going to admit they're wrong, the Internet has decided this game sucks and that is such a massive shame. P.s. I also do love Nickelback.

Bethesda has absolutely no idea anymore what people want or what made their games so great. The game has the worst sci-fi lore I have ever seen. The people who wrote the story and quests should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, Bethesda seems immune to feedback, as they simply fail to improve the very things that have been criticized for years.

The game has the usual Bethesda bugs. It is heavily woke.. 90% of all righteous leaders are female. Most of the remaining 10% male are POC. The declared relationships in this game are 70% homosexual. The "STEM" positions in the game are around 80% Female. The females in this game are almost androgenous. And they were so against any male gaze that you can't even buy the swimsuit. The shipbuilding is kind of fun, and the crafting and outpost options are good. But if I hadn't had mods, this would have been a skip for sure.

All the criticisms that you've heard are correct. But I think the issue goes deeper. After 8 years in development, this was the result. Why was it even released? And this is what is happening to games. Get them out the door, wait thru the criticism, and then make half hearted attempts to "finish" the game, or provide mods for money. So you have to pay more than the original (high) price. Everyone forgets that No Man;s Sky did the same thing but since they provided all of the additional content free, they were forgiven. Is anyone else tired of being quality control? The sad thing is there is a great concept in this game - the multiple universe. Each playthrough could have been an entirely different experience since you have knowledge you didnt have. It wouldnt ruin the quests because you would still need to fetch evidence. AS it is, you have to pick from the dialog tree pretending like you have no idea what is going on. It is self-defeating. You think this new universe is going to be exciting, but it is just replaying the game. And the mods. If you like buying your game over and over and ruining your saves because the mod you chose (like most of them) doesnt work unless you want to spend hours troubleshooting, changing settings, praying. I tried 3 of them. One worked , another didnt do anything, and one made my character invisible. Now these were free mods so maybe you have to pay before they are any good. But I have trouble paying for things that look like they are not going to work anyway. I have played multiple playthroughs, several NG+ games. I have been able to enjoy some of it by not following the main stories. Like as soon as I left Vectera I went to Jaffa where there is a huge Va'ruun outpost. With all the starborn powers i was able to defeat the entire base alone. Plus I got another ship, the Dagger. So you can make your own fun but it is time to move on.

after a bit with this game I have to question 150gb for this ?? ..... no ....... especially at this $$$ point ........ I loved both Skyrim and F4 but this is really lacking ....... it is a clunky mess and shows that Bethesda has yet to really master immersion nuance ...... e.g. why 4 movement speeds instead 2 ?? [1 where my pace is like being on a date in the park trying to smell flowers vs. the other where I'm running like I've got 4 seconds before the ship explodes] ...... multiply that by 1000x and you get the picture ........ this is what CD Projekt Red understands that Bethesda does not ...... don't know the specifics on design, production, $$$ oversight, etc. but as a customer, while Starfield has more quantity than say Mass Effect 2, it is certainly not as much fun ..... basically just a bunch of screen hopping

waste of money
