It feels really good to be back. In reality, I took some time off to focus on school which is really starting to ramp up. I also work full time and have a wife so that’s a lot of time too. Very glad to be back (even though I missed some easy dunks like Concord and AC Shadows). 😂
They could never have redeemed themselves. Much like so many other companies the people that made said game franchise great and special have long since left or been fired. Bethesda is dead nothing good will ever come.from the studio again. Like that fallout 4 song ITS ALLLL OVER BUT THE CRRRYYYYYYYYYYYING!
I don't know if redemption was doable, considering their most recent releases didn't impress. And I'm saying this as someone who liked Starfield, but it barely cleared that bar for me. As much as I love the BGS concept of: go anywhere, do anything, be whoever you want to be, Starfield is not Fallout 4 which wasn't Skyrim. Skyrim felt like a revelation, Starfield felt like "I like it, but there are things that bother me".
I got Starfield for $70 on Steam when it came out, first Bethesda game I got since Skyrim, immediately realized it was dry shit, and refunded it. Then I bought Baldur's Gate 3 for $60. Had an immense amount of fun on it and profited $10. Now BG3 has modding support and it's all free... and starfield has this crap
Thank you for the video. Since the beginning of this whole "Bethesda decay situation" (and it started not in 2023 but in 2018 with the release of Fallout 76) I've questioned myself "WHY TO THIS DAY NOBODY at Bethesda have faced responsibility for this garbage that they created and turned the whole studio into". I mean, Emil is a close friend of Todd. But do they have some sort of Mafia squad? Do they have protection of the same mind deluded M$ managers who obviously have their cut of pie in the whole Starfield project? How is that possible?
Eyyyy, good to see you back m8. Bitter sweet time to come back when Starfield releases absolute slop of a DLC. Behtesda is cooked, the next Elder Scrolls & Fallout are going to be a disaster since somehow Emil Pagliarulo is still head of writing there and everything he writes is beyond uninspiringly bad.
Bethesda is a lazy company reliant on its modding community's hard work so much so it no longer knows how to create its own content I have zero expectations for elder scrolls 6 or care I don't anymore. If they hadn't of released this empty waste of space we the modding community could've started modding elder scrolls 6 into the game it should've been by now unfortunately it looks like 6 is still 3 years away
Let everyone die or let no one die. That’s a legitimate wisdom of Solomon, Caucasian Chalk Circle head scratcher. Especially considering the far-reaching consequences of your decision. Oh wait…
The world building in Starfield is broken. The factions are very, very small. House Varuun is what 100 people now? How did these factions fight several big wars? And given that there are hundreds of spacers, pirates and baddies out there… where do they come from? The Crimson Fleet could invade the Freestar alliance and win? It breaks my brain and I can’t unsee ir
I havent liked a thing bethesda has done since Fallout 3 and I don't really like Fallout 3 anymore. Every new thing they put out is downgrade after downgrade of their already simplified RPG formula. Even the Fallout TV show to me showed sympthoms of Bethesda's decline in quality because it sticks with the tone and aesthetic Bethesda made for Fallout 4 and 76 and completely destroys the setting of my favorite games (1,2,NV) to achieve that tonal ans aesthetic shift. I had no faith in Starfield and have no faith in any of their future projects and while I wish their developers the best, the creative leads and higher ups need to never have a job again in gaming.
_maybe stop giving Bethesda money in exchange for trash._ Pagliarulo makes an easy scapegoat but you guys don’t REALLY think the problems begin and end with him, do you? also do you have a dead row on your monitor?
He’s the lead writer for Bethesda and the bulk of the video focuses on the story of the DLC. It’s very fair to criticize him in this video. The rot definitely runs deep in Bethesda though, definitely not just Emil. They shouldn’t let him do interviews anymore because every time he’s on the record he’s an absolute disaster. 😂 P.S. :yes I do have a dead row from rearranging my setup 😂 new monitor coming in soon
Why is Bethesda like this? Because y'all keep paying for it. Bethesda was like this in Fallout 3 and Oblivion and Skyrim and Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, but sure, Starfield will be different! Why would it be different? Selling boring, empty, unfinished games has been making them BANK for twenty years. Why stop now when you lemmings will just keep buying it?
I think Emil's ego is part of the issue, but he's not alone in blame. I enjoyed Skyrim and he lead the writing in that. There is something else going on and I think it might include the words Diversity and Inclusion. They refuse to write evil or bigoted options, all the NPCs are unkillable now, and don't even get me started on the NPC appearances. People get annoyed when you blame woke for everything, I know.. But I think there is a thick layer of it in that writing room and its absolutely destroying creative freedom.
There definitely is some of that to be sure. I don’t like to talk about culture war issues unless they’re absolutely unavoidable (AC Shadows) because I think there are multiple other things wrong with the industry. The DEI stuff is just a symptom of a larger problem in my opinion.
@thientuongnguyen2564 " failed" ....... Lol it is the most played singleplayer game still, one of the best selling games of last yr despite gamepass, boosted Xbox sales by 1000%, and you definitely haven't played it, you entitled little bitch

welcome back and good to see ya! Sadly starfield somehow got worse and we just have to accept that maybe Bethesda might be dying :/
@@slowowned51 all their good will is pretty much burned at this point
"Back to their roots"
Most of the time, these studios dont even fucking know what those roots are
They really emphasized the "SHAT" in "SHATtered Space"
Shittered space
the first DLC of Bethesda's self-acclaimed Flagship Title: Starfailed :D
I found myself absolutely forcing myself to get through the boring story of this dlc. Congratulations to the devs I was robbed of $30
We all were.
Pre - DLC: House Va'Ruun is only interesting thing in Starfield. I hope we visit it!
Post - DLC: I really wish we didn't.
thank god for two things!
a) not having enough time to play it
and
b) you, the reviewers.
saved time and money with that refund.
It’s just not worth it at all
@@GeneralRubicon i figured after the 10th review i watched !
i dodged a bullet. can use those $30 to get something else.
They could have redeemed themselves but they did everything wrong 😂
This comment about sums it up 😂

You’re a modder?
Unfortunately, these corpos will grind this once good game development company into dust due to their own incompetence and arrogance.

With all of the crashes I had, I don’t think their engine can take much more than that honestly

I'm German - so whenever I see someone wearing an Amon Amarth shirt, it reminds me of Drachenlord - the biggest lolcow in the history of the internet.
Please no 😂😂😂 Amon Amarth is a good band to workout to
Glad you’re back!!
A cold took you up for six months? Was that a joke?
Not a joke. It was a very serious medical condition
@@GeneralRubicon oh shit.
@@MrJeffharper47 just kidding bro lol just busy with life
_maybe stop giving Bethesda money in exchange for trash._
Pagliarulo makes an easy scapegoat but you guys don’t REALLY think the problems begin and end with him, do you?
also do you have a dead row on your monitor?

Was it the Great Serpent of Ronka?
That would have been better tbh
A cold for 6 months? Dammm
Terminal cold

That's what reviews are for. Bethesda wouldnt give me a review code in 1,000,000 years lol.
A cold took you out for six months? 😂 What kind of cold was that? Seems like you got injected with something you shouldn’t have. 😂
It was a gigacold, zupmeoff
”At its worst”……………………..if you think this is where drop in quality of their products stops, i envy thine naivety.

it did NOT get worse, its Starfield at its best.
...
there is legitimate criticism, but nowhere near as bad as many make it out to be
Starfield isn’t bad.
It is boring.
And being boring is worse than being bad. At least there is entertainment value in being bad.
Lying to yourself
Bethesda got bought out by a AAA publisher but somehow devolved into a AA, B-Movie development team
Im seeing so many punkass ORIGINAL 'reviews' like this, VeRy ThOrOuGh AnD hOnEsT😂😂😂
Game still failed and it's just crap. What's your excuse, Emil?
@thientuongnguyen2564 " failed" ....... Lol it is the most played singleplayer game still, one of the best selling games of last yr despite gamepass, boosted Xbox sales by 1000%, and you definitely haven't played it, you entitled little bitch
you have to just accept that Emil and Todd are down low butt buddies and lower your expectations in the future!
