I was enjoying the game but if I'm honest it soon becomes a drag If they add more contents and fixes I would probably return Would also like to see more survival features like having to replace your oxygen tanks Fallout 76 had a redemption but it took a long time
I hear ya! I like to start over again and again cuz yeah, the main quest is just a tedious fetch quest x30 or w/e. The sidequests (for the most part imo) and the dungeon crawling, IMO, is excellent! Starfield has been described as more of a dungeon crawler by some anyway. I mean, I'd love to use some of my nifty starborn powers... but my companions just get pissed off at me when I do!
I've put a few hundred hours into this game and I'm comfortable calling it "flawed". However, it is absolutely not deserving of the hate-fest it is currently receiving. I'm actually kinda shocked at how angry people are able to get about this game. My most fervent hope is that if someone feels they need to uninstall the game and never look back, "never looking back" will include a cessation of all whining about how horrible the game is.
I just don't understand that when people dislike a game that much that they are still putting so much time and energy towards it. Sure, there are things I would want to see differently in Starfield but its clear some of those will never happen and others, well, time will tell with updates and DLC. I find it hard to conclude at this time beforehand that, generalized, the game will never be improved.
Right, Redfall got 5 minutes with me... No complaints, just a reclaiming of HD space. The hate for a great Bethesda game is strange... The update for XBoxX is amazing. Only a few bugs for me before the update, have not seen any so far.
For me, one of the most important factors in RPGs are the stories. The story decides if the game is immersive and interesting or not - especially as the plot tends to be always the same - find and fetch some items and kill all enemies along the way or sneak your way around them. The stories can’t be fixed. All the voice actors in all the languages have done their job and all the scenes are set. So, what do you think when you land your spaceship in a city on a planet for the first time, stumble into a tricky hostage situation and are immediately asked to step in as a mediator? (And even if you completely screw up and just shoot everyone, you're invited to apply as a law enforcement officer?) Oh yes, and we have spaceships with gravdrives, but in this city people can't even manage to pave the sidewalks so that they're full of puddles and mud. And we're not talking about just any old town, but the capital of the Freestarcollective. And in your super spaceship in the 24th century, you must climb ladders from level to level (oh yes, there is one bridge with stairs). You can install brigs on your ship, but there is no mechanism to arrest anyone. There are many alien animals and plants on the numerous planets you can visit - but no species with a higher intelligence than a cockroach - what a pity. You can and should scan all these animals and plants, but your ship doesn't even have a computer ship log where you can see which creatures you have found on which planet. Although your main mission as member of constellation is exploration… And the list goes on and on… And the bugs? - One of the most annoying bugs I find is, when I land on my outpost and try to enter the fly cam in building mode it just shows a loading circle and when I try to use a workbench it says “You can not use this. It is obstructed”. To fix this, you have to quicksave the game and then reload it. But you just came from a loading screen when you landed on your outpost - but that was somehow another type of loading? - This just shows how messy the core code must be. So, is there a way to fix this game? - Yes, fire everybody, hire capable people, take a good game engine, think up good, plausible and interesting stories and rewrite everything from scratch.
There are a lot of things that don't add up when you really think about them but I guess that's the result of the game's efforts in touching so many elements where it became impossible to give each part enough depth (like your examples of ship modules and constellation's mission vs her actual capacity to act on it) thus making them less believable. I do envy you however that you only have to load a quicksave when your industrial workbench acts up at an outpost, I have to save, exit and reboot the entire game for it to work again. As for your last sentence, it's like I joked about: they can always go for Starfield 2 in a decade or so :)
I've only played this game since its release! I'm 400hrs in, level 140, ng+7 and see myself putting in another 400 hrs just on my current player. Fallout in Space!! Still has me drooling over it. Notice more bugs now then before. Still going to play it. But!! Come on dlcs.
Same here, got over 1800hrs and can't wait for the updates and DLC. It's gonna be a good year I think. Creation kit is what I am really waiting for though.
I laugh when I hear people comment the game isn’t complete. Well duh, that’s why there are 7 dlc to be released. A creation kit to be released and at least 5-10 years of updates and patches and upgrades. I’ve enjoyed the game. Everyone I know has enjoyed the game. I also mod it heavily. The toxicity of gamers is out of control like a cancer. Gamers are filled with hubris, arrogance and self labeled elitism. They are always demanding this unicorn fantasy of a “perfect” game. Good analysis of dev and modders. This game has a lot of life to live as it’s only in its infancy.
the major issue is that there's too much nothing in between points of interest and that the distance traveled between points is up to 2-5 minutes when it should be more like 20-30 seconds instead.
Well, do you have Fitness rank 4?? Just kidding! I know and just because it takes so long to get there, you have enough time to start thinking ahead about which duplicate POI you will encounter so you already know what strategy to take. It's not really about discovering nor exploring anymore then. At least that's my experience.
I like how the Howard says "The astronauts went into space and they were never bored" We're not the astronauts and we're not actually in space. We're in our living rooms wanting to be entertained, not bored to death by miles of emptiness. When all the caverns and enemy camps are the same exact copy-paste structures from other planets, it takes the awe of exploring exciting new places away. Oh, I've been here before ... MANY times.. I DID have loads of fun with this game though, however, the redundancy and repetition of everything broke the immersion very quickly.
Only way they fix it is by releasing a 20hr dlc world with all new weaponry, abilities, an enhanced skill tree, intelligent aliens, enemy variety, vehicles and new environments, jam packed with caves, dungeons, ruins and settlemants, all handcrafted. The new world needs to be responsive and alive.
They need to update saves management. I ran out of saves available by level 110. almost 34 days in. had to delete manually 90 + saves to make space for autosaves etc.
If they wanted to make it so that everyone was happy with the game . All they needed to do is make it so that the hard difficulty does have the survival aspects . And actually make the easy difficulty and very easy difficulty actually easy . A space suit is designed to isolate you from the environment because there is no breathable atmosphere . So regardless of what type of space suit that you're wearing , it was designed to provide an artificial atmosphere . If you walk through a poisonous cloud , it would need to be a corrosive poison that can literally break the seal on your suit for you to be affected by it . But than bullets would do the same thing . So what would be a simple flesh wound would kill you by opening your suit to the atmosphere . The game already is a survival game , every planet that you land on tries to kill you even though you're wearing a protective suit . You have to carry around copious amounts of medication in order to constantly heal yourself from unrealistic damage . I find the AI enemies to be a little bit easy to kill . But the planets themselves are doing an adequate job of making up for that . And no matter how many times you go through New game plus you will never ever be able to do the things that the other Starborn can do . Most of the powers you get end up being completely useless . And young people who were born with a computer up their ass . Are asking for a survival mode . All I want is for them to make the hard difficulty actually hard and the easy difficulty actually easy . A gen-xer like myself shouldn't have to use the TGM console command in order to play the game . If I put it on very easy difficulty , then I should be getting very easy gameplay . If you want it to be hard and you put it on hard then it should be hard gameplay . Todd Howard and Bethesda didn't do that with either . The unrealistic environmental damages are the same across the board .
What do you mean, modder play test there mod and even do compatibility patches with other mods. They even collaborate and play test with other mods and modders this is especially true when you got mods like ui, script extender, plugin address library, uis. The do work pretty together and play teat thing especially when creating mods with dependencies, look and the many patches of fnis. Most of the times modders are just 5 people doing work for free basically. Matter afact its so insane that for a body. You need the proper amo, body slide insall, skeletons mod (like xpse) sometimes even fnis, and a physics extension on top. These mods also add pathes and compatibility for other mods, meaning their being aggressively playtested, not only they have to consider everything in the game and play test The also consider many other mods and these mods dependencies and play test it, even to find the proper order of it. Matter effect it was the modding community with loot, Unofficial skyrm patch, clutter floors, and with load order fix. Who fixed the many errors in even bethesda own order in skyrm where if it was incorrect order, or files need looting due to specific corrupted refrences. The own game of speciall edition couldnt even work. Of course modder play test there mod, they play test it even more intense and aggressive than Bethesda, especially when the really on other mods they dont just simply add it, they do collabs and cordination. It isn't just adding something in the game with no consideration, Their is no mod i seen do this Modder do there work and their do diligence nd their basically always mutch mutch smaller team then Bethesda, and not only modders have to consider and fix the base game loads, but they even have to go to consider both the game, and other mods the depend on, and their order to even work properly. Also Bethesda game have generally severe issue in files and refrences, i run loot on skyrm and like 90+% of the errors it detected came with the game. And the rest from mods and the mods where 5x more then the game size. So in words, modder do playtest their game and clean very well their mods to even work with the game at all, and consider both the game and other mods. So i would like you to stop spreading misinformation that Bethesda has to go to a more intense process than moders. Becuse modder are giving it for free, and their doing it better with much less people compared to Bethesda. I belive covering Bethesda and making them in a light of a suffered animal who has to go threw many processes, and everybody else doesent. Is really diluting the situation into something that it isn't Everybody knows game development is hard. But everybody knows that a product must be good for its price. Once you put your price tag you instantly compare your product to anything at the same price and anything below that price. And the comparisons are staggering tripple A gaming had far to many excuses for the past decade or more. Especially when gaming was mutch harder on the 2000 with the ps2 game cube, xbox, etc and there are many games that aged like fine whine from that era, and stilk are better the tripple a gaming nowadays. The problem isant how hard it is, the problem is that its excessively mutch easier than before to make a game nowadays, especially with the information gather from then. why are modern game not outperforming good game mechanically from over decade old games. Its just confusing Every single modder know how hard it is, and even does more work, especially when they dont even have a stable job, or work for a company, and have a very low amount of people making the actual mods. Having to account for many more things than Bethesda. Its clear that. Game development is had everybody knows that, but it is basically strange and perplex that a person or modder; who didint make the game and have to break the game with no knowledge of what even going on. And scanning 2millions of randomly named files and find out what happening. Produces a better work the the people who actually know things. Its baffaling That the quality of having to do mutch more work, mutch more difficult, and even break game files is higher and more intense. That a entire studio who knows whats what in the game. Simply put it the game files are a insane disorganized mess the same as the developer and leaders of the game. Its absurd how people are trying to shine a white light on bethesda as if it was a puppy under pressure. And modder are supposed this massive wolf who can do anything. No, Bethesda a multi billion dollar company, and they cant even apply basic game mapping with twine to get everything in order. This is literally the first step of game development and brainstorming. How the peanut would you build a viable building with no blueprints and info. Its crazy that a random dude who rant in youtube like me. Know basic efficient development cycle, more than a literal multi billion industry company leaders with years of experience. Its crazy
I ran into a bump where i NG+, and the game allowed me to complete a main story task (accidentally on my part) out of order, and now i cant collect all the artifacts...specifically the one when you first meet Andreja. I did the Ryujin and Freestar campaigns before i discovered this, and am not restoring to a previous save and lose hours of play time and advancement
That's a really weird and problematic one; basically you're stuck now as far as artifacts go? I can imagine not wanting to go back and redo all of that progression, that hurts.
@@SirStefanGaming I'll have to check back with you, as I haven't played in a week. Maybe I can get enough to NG+ again and correct the timeline...but I know for sure I can't get the artifact where you first meet Andreja, because when I went out of order, it brought her to the lodge and she's no longer in that cave where you first meet her. Game locks up. Tried multiple things and can't get to that artifact
I actually really like this game I find it very fun but it does lack a lot of content if Bethesda does what CD Project Red did with Cyberpunk it would be so much better
When we get frame generation this week I will be happy to wait for whatever else they are cooking up. I have fixed many of my gripes with starfield with mods anyway like the UI the HUD the inventories and shipbuilding mechanics I added a RED One X wing I need to build myself. But the parts are there and all sorts. so my game is not like it was yesterday or the day before without waiting for updates. But FSR 3 frame gen is really appreciated and cannot wait. The frame gen mod worked great on my PC. was getting 4k ultra over 120 fps. which is what I want. As I have a 120 hertz 4k 55 inch LG nanocell TV and a 165 hertz 1440p monitor both hooked up to my PC so more fps the better. And tbh the latency is minimal. feels like 120 hertz. So yes FSR 3 I cannot wait. No artifacts and dodgy shadows etc. like the mod. plus the mod messes up a lot in my experience. still great though. New weather effects i added. I can open and close my landing ramp lol. all sorts of cool stuff. which is what it's all about. who sticks to the base game in bethesda RPG's anyway. I think I can now fly around solar systems and round planets also. instead of using fast travel although I only added that last night and am yet to test it. Looks cool though. I am not sure it bypasses fast travel in solar systems but hoping it does. But I am waiting for FSR 3 before I jump back in. same with cyberpunk 2077.
Man gamers complain about too much. Think dev's would release all content day 1. Not how game development works they release vanilla copy then few months later, updates, dlcs, etc. I cant complain about star field. I enjoy it and I'm patient for more updates. Man games are man babies
I myself have played Starfield for more then 10,000 hours since it first came out, ( little exaggeration maybe). I am more addicted too the space flying then the planet fighting. the time I am more at peace and the building/ making an outpost are just very time consuming. I'd like to see actual "wings" onto the ship builders verses everything looking like aa space age submarine, clothing options would be nice to see other then using a "mod", not so futuristic or made up. some of the locations to quick travel does need to be redone, for instance the location at Mars, inside the terminal verses just outside the door to the underground city...
I think you have at least 2 zeros too many there :) I think you are one of the few people more into the space than surface content, nice! Do you also do a lot of shipbuilding? Thank you for the sub!
I absolutely hated this game and the ohly thing i liked was the persuasion mechanic but I'd be lying if i said this game doesnt have modding potential just like past bethesda games. Its February now and it's baffling how theres not even a single morsel of official news on CK2
Everyone acted like this with cyperpunk now people love same with skyrim it wasn't that great when it was first released now its one of greatest game ever I would love to see all these people complaining to create a perfect game with no problems
PC is trash I hate pc gamers boring games yall think pc is superior but it's not only thing about pc is console games that came to pc all pc games are ass@@SirStefanGaming
I don't think this meh game is salvable. I uninstalled it long before finalizing the main quest. I have had most fun watching bashing videos on YT, since playing was boring for me.
Did Bethesda ever fix the storyline of Fallout 4? No. You may safely assume they will never fix the godawful storyline in Starfield. I could give a shit about bug fixes. Every aspect of this game feels like a dumb 10 year old wrote it. From the base building to the economics. Utter trash.
Yeah economy is pretty meh but then again I'm spoiled from playing EVE. I guess as far as storyline goes they can fix quests with these updates and add DLC for additional storyline.
@SirStefanGaming Economy? You pirate a starship, a device that can safely transport you across the entire galaxy, and then have to 'register' it for 95% of its value, only to sell it for less of a financial return than the guns and gear you scrounged off its dead crew. The 'economy' of this game is gun running.
I wish Bethesda knew that console players also paid hard-earned money for the game and that focusing only on fixes or upgrades for PC players is getting tiresome for us. Xbox players do not have the luxury of mods, for example, and cannot address the myriad "game-breaking" bugs. Nor can we do anything about the constant crashes on the save screen, etc., etc. I suppose taking away the Akila loot puddles took priority.
Yes, thank you. I got the 11.64 GB update yesterday. Sadly, the Bessel III-b debacle remains and I had two more crashes or freezes on the save screen. I am not sure what was updated for Xbox Series X players, but I am sure it will help someone.@@SirStefanGaming
The improvements in Fallout 76 supposedly make it a much more playable game. So Bethesda has shown they are willing to keep tweaking for at least a couple years. I'm not sure that they are going to be able to make Starfield engaging though. I put in 254 hours in, trying desperately to like it. I'm now one of the herd over on Baldur's Gate III.
You hit it right on the head; there is a difference between tweaking (fixing what is broken in this game) and improving (to make it more engaging). The latter is really hard if that involves something that was never foreseen in the game. It has to fit in the scope of what was originally intended (otherwise is more modding then development).
@@SirStefanGaming I really think that no one at Bethesda did a deep dive over on Nexus to see what type of mods for Fallout 4/Skyrim were the most endorsed and the most downloaded. They were so engrossed at the random generation of planets that they forgot almost completely about content that would be engaging. Plus, come on, CBBE/UPN and Apachii Sky and KS Hair are some of the most beloved mods and you give us Oblivion potato people? There is a HUGE portion of Bethesda's core audience that spends hours on their paper dolls and they wiffed that right out of the park. The clone population of NPCs/randomly generated encounters is also a huge turn off and shows how weak their character creation software is and how little they have for the random generator to pick from. I seriously think that during planning sessions the statement, "The modders will take care of that, so we don't have to spend much time on it" was heard at least once a session. And where are the environmental goodies? I spent a good two years after Skyrim came out just tracking down all the easter eggs and goodies the developers had stuffed into out of the way corners of the map. Literally spent hours figuring out paths I could force my way up mountains to see what was on top. I'm waiting to see when they will stop screwing with Skyrim this time around so I can mod it and jump back in. Same to a lesser extent with Fallout 4. Starfield turned into one of those games where everyone can see the potential that was missed and I can't believe they are shocked at the response. And who were the alpha/beta testers??? Did they not bring up these glaringly obvious flaws during those tests?
So...I think it's funny that people haven't been able to see this, and there are still defenders of Bethesda. Let me compare and show you what the problem is in the fastest and simplest way. In Fallout 3 there are huge sections of the world that have nothing in them. You then get a content nugget, and this is the bridge between old and new Bethesda. Those nuggets used to be crafted, so each nugget was a pleasure. It was OK to have nothing, because finding something then felt amazing. I swear to the lord above that "another settlement needing my help" is the easiest way to condense new Bethesda. Instead of a nugget of content we get a pre-packaged "nugglet." It's randomly generated, but with such strict rules that a nugglet is indistinguishable from any other nugglet. When even the breaks between nothing aren't pleasurable they cannot fix things with a patch. Let me also provide an example. One of the rare nuggets in Fallout 4 is the ship flying across the commonwealth due to a mad robot. It uses some basic skill checks...or forces you to go on nugglet scavenger hunts. It culminates in a nugget...which insta-kills you even in god mode if you remain on the ship. It's a perfect representation of new Bethesda RNG tainting old Bethesda...a company that made Daggerfall before they decided that RNG should be 90% of the game so it fails to be special when you see all permutations during regular play because you failed to even understand how much R is needed to make RNG functional. A clue for Bethesda. If you have a random event an average of once every 20 minutes, 5 categories of random events, 3 flavors within each category, and all your other bits boil down to the pre-programmed structure of the areas then you've got maybe 10-20 hours of game. That's assuming you don't get the same event 5 times in a row because you wanted "evergreen" content and decided that meant a settlement needs to be attacked by an RNG group from one of a few fixed locations. As far as this video...yeah. You seem to want to give Bethesda the benefit of doubt. The first patch I download for any Bethesda game is the unofficial community patch...because years later it still contains stuff the developers can't be bothered with, that the "but it has to pass cert" argument looks stupid trying to offer. The problem with Bethesda is that they again released a game you "can experience" multiple times and make multiple choices...but the cost is to give up everything which makes the value of any playthrough zero. They "reward" you with space wizard powers...which is great in a game where the whole space wizard thing seems to be the half dried glue used to hold their barely logical systems together that have all been streamlined out of being fun. I can't believe this...but I long for the days of constantly breaking weapons because at least I could use the hunting rifles to repair Lincoln's rifle (Fallout 3 players will know), and I didn't have to expend half a clip on a level 300 enemy despite being maxed out in everything because the scaling for skills basically dies at about level 50...after which the enemy numbers keep going up but there's no way for yours to equally go up. Sorry, but Bethesda's incarnation since Fallout 3, and even partially including it, suck. When your answer for "why not vehicles" is "our decades old updates to Gamebryo never assumed anybody would have a frame rate above 30 FPS and you'd take 30+ seconds to cross the load cells we've arbitrarily chosen to support this code spaghetti then you've failed to be a good developer for years...that's not a patch, that's why Bethesda was a huge acquired by MS...the one entity who similarly cannot understand why things that worked before don't work forever. Long live windows live...always online xbox...MS store...Zune...Windows phone....Windows Home Server...sorry, seem to have blacked out for a second there. That much stupidity is blinding.
Depending on how many mods you have installed it has a good chance of happening every single update. From what I can tell, this has been a common issue and the solution seems to be to wait for the SFSE loader to update: steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3883849719503335448/ github.com/ianpatt/sfse/issues/23
The affliction started system definitely should punish you and so should the environment. If you step off the ship without your helmet….cut scene of you dying.
Bethesda aren't Blizzard and I'm not sure they can create a game people constantly want to play, Diablo 3 is super ancient and i still play it, i just can't buy Starfield until Bethesda improves the Steam rating.
I wish they would make another 100 to 300 handcrafted points of interest they can throw into the mix. I'm sure every person that has played the game has eventually come across the same science lab or abandon outpost. They also need to add some grit and grime. It's such a PG13 game even tho it's rated M for mature. I guess it's rated M just cause if the shooting and gun use. Your literally never see anyone using drugs or even smoking a cigarette. I love the game but there is a bunch of things that need to be worked on
True. For me, encountering the same POI 3 times in an hour is definitely a mood killer because you can almost run it on auto-pilot. The only thing missing is an auto-sim option; then the POIs really just revolve around RNG-ing loot.
They've already fixed a ton of stuff, when the game first came out the performance was terrible and the game was trying to melt my cpu and it ran terrible, now I run over 100 fps most of the time. It's still got a ton of bugs, but I love the game. They've already added a lot of stuff to planets, and stuff is closer together and it takes less than a few minutes to get anywhere. I have huge hours in and I've been finding new still lately. I'm looking forward to what the modders can do with a 1000 planets and moons. The game should have never been released when it was, it wasn't ready for prime time. The only bug that could get me to stop is the bug that makes you go to NG when your game gets too big and you start crashing.
@@SirStefanGaming They do. In fact many $100's of millions are spent on influencer marketing every year in the games industry alone. If you see a positive video on a globally mocked and derired game such as Starfield it is almost certainly paid for in money or gifts in kind (access, merch, etc). Failing to disclose that is against US law by the way, but it's rarely enforced.
I think it deserves a bit more nuance. A sponsorship (which is not illegal or unethical) offered for 1 video to an influencer is not by default a bribe. Otherwise any and all types of transactions can be called bribery. Any political campaign donations would be as well as tipping at a restaurant; both of which are perfectly legal in the US (failing to disclose compensation, be it a sponsorship, donation or investment is against the law in a lot of countries actually). Just so we're clear: I haven't had Todd Howard on my porch yet, offering me a Starfield-custom design MoonSwatch trying to get me to write a perfectly positive review for Starfield 😋
The blue magnifying glass is displayed when you are tracking that specific resource, which you can toggle on and off when examining a recipe on a crafting bench. That way you know that, when you come across one of the required resources when looting or scavenging, you need that item in order to be able to craft whatever recipe you were tracking the resources for. The explanation mark is displayed when you have picked something up that is new in your inventory. Same goes for when you have modified a weapon.
I don't think starfield is a terrible game, i think it's more of an average game but everyone was expecting a masterpiece. Dont get me wrong it does have some stupid design decisions (dialogue, exploration rewards, loading screens and childish writing being the worse offenders) At the moment i think we have the alpha barebones version of the game and maybe in 2-3 years time and with mods i believe it will be a fantastic game. They definitely do deserve the criticism they are getting at the moment. Im not willing to fully give up it just yet tho, ive 100% the game (steam achievements) so im in no rush to get back into unless I see some seriously good content and updates added.
Yes modders kind of have a "break", they don't have the "red tape". First, funny how there DOESN'T seem to be this "red tape" or "procedures" when they RELEASE their , not completely working game yet when it comes time for those "fixes" , oh red tape, red tape. Second even AFTER they go through their so called "procedures" they STILL release stuff that doesn't work orrrrr , an oldie but a goodie, it fixes the ONE thing but breaks a DOZEN OTHER things. Red tape , procedures, yeahhh right. I'm NOT interested on WHAT they have to SAY anymore. WHAT are you DOING? 8 YEARS and you got a "patch" in...BETA? "Every six months", how many "six months"? annnddd how are they going to keep that up when they're "laying off" THOUSANDS of the WORKERS?
Agreed, actions speak louder than words. Releasing a game in relation to it's state (how complete is it) will always be a mixed decision between development and corporate. Otherwise you get Star Forge on one end and Star Citizen on the other :P If I said every 6 months in the video I apologize; it's every 6 weeks for releasing an update.
7:00...That's the problem, "...meaningful content". Forget bugs and glitches; that's to be expected from a BGS game. There is no hook at the beginning. No moral or ethical dilemmas with serious considerations for any action you may take. Why is this labeled a "role playing game" and has no role playing in it? Take the Free Star Rangers at the beginning. It doesn't matter what you do at the bank; you're made a deputy no matter what. The entire game gives you the illusion of choice. Uninspired fetch quests. Go get coffee and bring it back. This wasn't a set up quest that leads you to some sort of decision making. Just...get coffee. Really? Uninspired side quests. So you accidentally stole a cup in New Atlantis. The next thing that happens is you're arrested and sent to a holding cell with all your equipment. You have a choice, join the United Colonies CIA Mobile Task Force and take down the pirates or don't. All this because of a cup of coffee. A totally uninspired and brain numbing main quest. All rewards are lackluster. Everything is poorly written and I feel sorry for any voice actor that thought they were in for a unique and exciting wild ride with the player. "Do you know the way to Uranus?" None of the voice actors had a pivotal role with the 4 main Companions being simply insufferable to be around. You can't "fix" these things without a total rewrite. And that's why I'll never play the game again. But hey! You can spend countless hours padding your levels and useless perks at an outpost. And then spend the next 300 hours playing in the shipbuilder. Oh joy! And at the "end" you get to do it all over again with NG+.
Thank you for taking the time to clearly state your experience. You are right: as soon as people start to wonder "what am I even doing here?" or "how am I impacting the environment around me in a meaningful way?" and they come up empty then yeah, why play if there is no reward, no incentive? Hence the "meaningful content" remark because if the current level of engagement is low from today's content, then more of the same isn't going to make a difference.
The game is not broken. People are just hating for the sake of hating yes it needs improvements but you cannot take away what they have done with the game. It's pretty special in lots of ways. But has it's bad points i admit. but it's fine. Not broken lol. But I want new features I expect new features. And we the expansion that I am sure will bring new features. everyone wants everything now. It doesn't work like that I am sorry to say. Grow up.
Just out of curiosity (as you seem genuinely bored with the game :P): in a couple of months time, would you check back on the game to see if you feel different and what would they have to add/change for you to not feel bored in Starfield?
@@SirStefanGamingill give my imput aswell . no not unless they can fix the world's being separated into little squares make it so we can fly planet to planet and manually land get rid of the copy pasted poi but I know none of that will never happen
Relax people it just takes Bethesda LONGER than it took MANKIND to form the agency and build the machines to take humans to the MOON. Making games isss haaarrrddd.
I know there IS bloat, has to be buuttt THAT much? Just NOW they're realizing, maayybee we got too many ? All of the sudden they just HAVE TO let them ALL go? IF it were me the FIRST ONE out the door is the one who did ALL the hiring. lol@@mediokay
The other basic mathis they're not done making the money off of their latest. GTA 5 is a perfect example. If they didn't have their cash cow, money printing, gta online money there would have ALREADY been a gta 6 and people would be waiting on seven buttttt Rockstar AIN'T done with 5...yet.@@mediokay
I do enjoy this game. But there's so many glaring errors and just blatant lazy writing, and diesign. Its getting harder to over look the more I play. If they drastically reduced the number of planets and just handcrafted one or 2 and kept procedural generation on another 2 systems, it would be instantly better. The game feels so copy and pasted. I enjoy playing but the more I play the more I'm noticing that it feels more like the devs pushed out a game to meet a dead line rather than put time and love into a game they were truly proud of.
Yes! Polish a turd and it will still be a turd, but now they need to have that turd composted, to transform it into an improved, nutrient-rich soil structure from which Starfield can grow and flourish!.....I'm sorry I did my best to stay within the theme and this is the best I could come up with. In all seriousness (and I mean this in an objective way) people paid good money for this game so from that perspective alone it would be preferable that the updates and DLC did more than just polish.
There is phrase used in the legal profession. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. Starfield can not be "fixed" any more than the Titanic can. There *should* have been a Skyrim amount of content on each colonized planet, given the amount of years the game was in development, but there is not a Skyrim amount of content in the whole damn galaxy.
Very true phrase. At some point they must have agreed upon the amount of content per colonized/core planet being enough to keep people busy and now that it turns out through player feedback it is not, I'm curious to see if they will start churning out DLC's (paid or NMS-approach) per planet or per gameplay segment to start enriching it to up the level of fun or enjoyment. I would actually have to check how long it took for Hello Games to start adding actual content instead of bug fixes. Anyway, I think it would be to BGS' credit to paint a big bulls-eye on the goal of adding more content and/or find a way to bind more gameplay elements together. Easier said than done of course....I'm just arm chairing away here :)
Bethesda is not sincere about wanting to fix the bugs in the game. I say that, because if you read the list of fixes most of them were rare occurrences. Why would you prioritize a fix for a rare occurrence?
Because even though they might not be the #1 issues of all feedback collected; they might be the ones possible to fix within 6 weeks to get a batch ready for the first update deadline? And picking 100 of them is a somewhat symbolic number to storm out of the gate with. Other bugs or improvements might take a lot longer due to complexity or interdependencies with other issues so I'm assuming they are not only prioritizing according how high the bug ranks on the scale of # of mentions in feedback but also the time it takes to complete it. And they did promise everyone an update every 6 weeks so perhaps the reason why they would prioritize certain occurrences over others is because they can't afford to not make the deadline or only have 5 fixes in it.

I was enjoying the game but if I'm honest it soon becomes a drag
If they add more contents and fixes
I would probably return
Would also like to see more survival features like having to replace your oxygen tanks
Fallout 76 had a redemption but it took a long time
I hear ya! I like to start over again and again cuz yeah, the main quest is just a tedious fetch quest x30 or w/e. The sidequests (for the most part imo) and the dungeon crawling, IMO, is excellent! Starfield has been described as more of a dungeon crawler by some anyway.
I mean, I'd love to use some of my nifty starborn powers... but my companions just get pissed off at me when I do!
Yea man I can't wait until they bring out a survival mode. In playing fallout 4 at the moment on survival and love it.
@@SKRWdFaLife90 Fallout 4 with survival mode is just the best
I've put a few hundred hours into this game and I'm comfortable calling it "flawed". However, it is absolutely not deserving of the hate-fest it is currently receiving. I'm actually kinda shocked at how angry people are able to get about this game. My most fervent hope is that if someone feels they need to uninstall the game and never look back, "never looking back" will include a cessation of all whining about how horrible the game is.
I just don't understand that when people dislike a game that much that they are still putting so much time and energy towards it. Sure, there are things I would want to see differently in Starfield but its clear some of those will never happen and others, well, time will tell with updates and DLC. I find it hard to conclude at this time beforehand that, generalized, the game will never be improved.
it is more than deserving of the hate fest it's receiving.
Right, Redfall got 5 minutes with me... No complaints, just a reclaiming of HD space. The hate for a great Bethesda game is strange... The update for XBoxX is amazing. Only a few bugs for me before the update, have not seen any so far.
@@aforbes2nd GREAT?! LMAO
Arrest this man. Being reasonable will NOT be tolerated in 2024.
For me, one of the most important factors in RPGs are the stories. The story decides if the game is immersive and interesting or not - especially as the plot tends to be always the same - find and fetch some items and kill all enemies along the way or sneak your way around them. The stories can’t be fixed. All the voice actors in all the languages have done their job and all the scenes are set.
So, what do you think when you land your spaceship in a city on a planet for the first time, stumble into a tricky hostage situation and are immediately asked to step in as a mediator? (And even if you completely screw up and just shoot everyone, you're invited to apply as a law enforcement officer?) Oh yes, and we have spaceships with gravdrives, but in this city people can't even manage to pave the sidewalks so that they're full of puddles and mud. And we're not talking about just any old town, but the capital of the Freestarcollective.
And in your super spaceship in the 24th century, you must climb ladders from level to level (oh yes, there is one bridge with stairs). You can install brigs on your ship, but there is no mechanism to arrest anyone.
There are many alien animals and plants on the numerous planets you can visit - but no species with a higher intelligence than a cockroach - what a pity.
You can and should scan all these animals and plants, but your ship doesn't even have a computer ship log where you can see which creatures you have found on which planet. Although your main mission as member of constellation is exploration… And the list goes on and on…
And the bugs? - One of the most annoying bugs I find is, when I land on my outpost and try to enter the fly cam in building mode it just shows a loading circle and when I try to use a workbench it says “You can not use this. It is obstructed”. To fix this, you have to quicksave the game and then reload it. But you just came from a loading screen when you landed on your outpost - but that was somehow another type of loading? - This just shows how messy the core code must be.
So, is there a way to fix this game? - Yes, fire everybody, hire capable people, take a good game engine, think up good, plausible and interesting stories and rewrite everything from scratch.
There are a lot of things that don't add up when you really think about them but I guess that's the result of the game's efforts in touching so many elements where it became impossible to give each part enough depth (like your examples of ship modules and constellation's mission vs her actual capacity to act on it) thus making them less believable.
I do envy you however that you only have to load a quicksave when your industrial workbench acts up at an outpost, I have to save, exit and reboot the entire game for it to work again.
As for your last sentence, it's like I joked about: they can always go for Starfield 2 in a decade or so :)
I've only played this game since its release! I'm 400hrs in, level 140, ng+7 and see myself putting in another 400 hrs just on my current player. Fallout in Space!! Still has me drooling over it. Notice more bugs now then before. Still going to play it. But!! Come on dlcs.
Same here, got over 1800hrs and can't wait for the updates and DLC. It's gonna be a good year I think.
Creation kit is what I am really waiting for though.
I laugh when I hear people comment the game isn’t complete. Well duh, that’s why there are 7 dlc to be released. A creation kit to be released and at least 5-10 years of updates and patches and upgrades. I’ve enjoyed the game. Everyone I know has enjoyed the game. I also mod it heavily. The toxicity of gamers is out of control like a cancer. Gamers are filled with hubris, arrogance and self labeled elitism. They are always demanding this unicorn fantasy of a “perfect” game. Good analysis of dev and modders. This game has a lot of life to live as it’s only in its infancy.
Do we know if mods will be available for console players in the future?
@@kimberlystafford3651 after the creation kit is released they will slowly become available on console from what I understand.
the major issue is that there's too much nothing in between points of interest and that the distance traveled between points is up to 2-5 minutes when it should be more like 20-30 seconds instead.
Well, do you have Fitness rank 4?? Just kidding! I know and just because it takes so long to get there, you have enough time to start thinking ahead about which duplicate POI you will encounter so you already know what strategy to take. It's not really about discovering nor exploring anymore then. At least that's my experience.
I like how the Howard says "The astronauts went into space and they were never bored" We're not the astronauts and we're not actually in space. We're in our living rooms wanting to be entertained, not bored to death by miles of emptiness. When all the caverns and enemy camps are the same exact copy-paste structures from other planets, it takes the awe of exploring exciting new places away. Oh, I've been here before ... MANY times..
I DID have loads of fun with this game though, however, the redundancy and repetition of everything broke the immersion very quickly.
I would like to see a method of ground transportation to assist in carrying heavy loot and resources.
Only way they fix it is by releasing a 20hr dlc world with all new weaponry, abilities, an enhanced skill tree, intelligent aliens, enemy variety, vehicles and new environments, jam packed with caves, dungeons, ruins and settlemants, all handcrafted. The new world needs to be responsive and alive.
They better get to work then because I don't see that happening all in 1 DLC
@@SirStefanGaming yeah it's abit ambitious lol
Lol.. that's not even going to fix it's actual issues 🤣
@@olsonbrandon91 it's less of a fix and more of a distraction lol
Intelligent alien life goes against the entire premise of the story, it's not going to ever be added in a simple update
They need to update saves management. I ran out of saves available by level 110. almost 34 days in. had to delete manually 90 + saves to make space for autosaves etc.
Yeah how that works from design is puzzling.
I like the game and have about 100 hours into it. I hope for good things. Am keeping an open mind.
Good for you, enjoy!
If they wanted to make it so that everyone was happy with the game . All they needed to do is make it so that the hard difficulty does have the survival aspects . And actually make the easy difficulty and very easy difficulty actually easy . A space suit is designed to isolate you from the environment because there is no breathable atmosphere . So regardless of what type of space suit that you're wearing , it was designed to provide an artificial atmosphere . If you walk through a poisonous cloud , it would need to be a corrosive poison that can literally break the seal on your suit for you to be affected by it . But than bullets would do the same thing . So what would be a simple flesh wound would kill you by opening your suit to the atmosphere . The game already is a survival game , every planet that you land on tries to kill you even though you're wearing a protective suit . You have to carry around copious amounts of medication in order to constantly heal yourself from unrealistic damage . I find the AI enemies to be a little bit easy to kill . But the planets themselves are doing an adequate job of making up for that . And no matter how many times you go through New game plus you will never ever be able to do the things that the other Starborn can do . Most of the powers you get end up being completely useless . And young people who were born with a computer up their ass . Are asking for a survival mode . All I want is for them to make the hard difficulty actually hard and the easy difficulty actually easy . A gen-xer like myself shouldn't have to use the TGM console command in order to play the game . If I put it on very easy difficulty , then I should be getting very easy gameplay . If you want it to be hard and you put it on hard then it should be hard gameplay . Todd Howard and Bethesda didn't do that with either . The unrealistic environmental damages are the same across the board .
I think this game has a lot of potential to if done right.
Yeah I mean it’s not a terrible game it has some issues but not to the degree of the slating it’s getting from the troll sheep 🐑 🐑
What do you mean, modder play test there mod and even do compatibility patches with other mods.
They even collaborate and play test with other mods and modders this is especially true when you got mods like ui, script extender, plugin address library, uis.
The do work pretty together and play teat thing especially when creating mods with dependencies, look and the many patches of fnis.
Most of the times modders are just 5 people doing work for free basically.
Matter afact its so insane that for a body.
You need the proper amo, body slide insall, skeletons mod (like xpse) sometimes even fnis, and a physics extension on top.
These mods also add pathes and compatibility for other mods, meaning their being aggressively playtested,
not only they have to consider everything in the game and play test
The also consider many other mods and these mods dependencies and play test it, even to find the proper order of it.
Matter effect it was the modding community with loot, Unofficial skyrm patch, clutter floors, and with load order fix.
Who fixed the many errors in even bethesda own order in skyrm where if it was incorrect order, or files need looting due to specific corrupted refrences.
The own game of speciall edition couldnt even work.
Of course modder play test there mod, they play test it even more intense and aggressive than Bethesda, especially when the really on other mods they dont just simply add it, they do collabs and cordination.
It isn't just adding something in the game with no consideration,
Their is no mod i seen do this
Modder do there work and their do diligence nd their basically always mutch mutch smaller team then Bethesda, and
not only modders have to consider and fix the base game loads, but they even have to go to consider both the game, and other mods the depend on, and their order to even work properly.
Also Bethesda game have generally severe issue in files and refrences, i run loot on skyrm and like 90+% of the errors it detected came with the game.
And the rest from mods and the mods where 5x more then the game size.
So in words, modder do playtest their game and clean very well their mods to even work with the game at all, and consider both the game and other mods.
So i would like you to stop spreading misinformation that Bethesda has to go to a more intense process than moders.
Becuse modder are giving it for free, and their doing it better with much less people compared to Bethesda.
I belive covering Bethesda and making them in a light of a suffered animal who has to go threw many processes, and everybody else doesent.
Is really diluting the situation into something that it isn't
Everybody knows game development is hard.
But everybody knows that a product must be good for its price.
Once you put your price tag you instantly compare your product to anything at the same price and anything below that price.
And the comparisons are staggering tripple A gaming had far to many excuses for the past decade or more.
Especially when gaming was mutch harder on the 2000 with the ps2 game cube, xbox, etc and there are many games that aged like fine whine from that era, and stilk are better the tripple a gaming nowadays.
The problem isant how hard it is, the problem is that its excessively mutch easier than before to make a game nowadays, especially with the information gather from then.
why are modern game not outperforming good game mechanically from over decade old games.
Its just confusing
Every single modder know how hard it is, and even does more work, especially when they dont even have a stable job, or work for a company, and have a very low amount of people making the actual mods.
Having to account for many more things than Bethesda.
Its clear that.
Game development is had everybody knows that, but it is basically strange and perplex that a person or modder;
who didint make the game and have to break the game with no knowledge of what even going on.
And scanning 2millions of randomly named files and find out what happening.
Produces a better work the the people who actually know things.
Its baffaling
That the quality of having to do mutch more work, mutch more difficult, and even break game files is higher and more intense.
That a entire studio who knows whats what in the game.
Simply put it the game files are a insane disorganized mess the same as the developer and leaders of the game.
Its absurd how people are trying to shine a white light on bethesda as if it was a puppy under pressure.
And modder are supposed this massive wolf who can do anything.
No, Bethesda a multi billion dollar company, and they cant even apply basic game mapping with twine to get everything in order.
This is literally the first step of game development and brainstorming.
How the peanut would you build a viable building with no blueprints and info.
Its crazy that a random dude who rant in youtube like me.
Know basic efficient development cycle, more than a literal multi billion industry company leaders with years of experience.
Its crazy
I ran into a bump where i NG+, and the game allowed me to complete a main story task (accidentally on my part) out of order, and now i cant collect all the artifacts...specifically the one when you first meet Andreja. I did the Ryujin and Freestar campaigns before i discovered this, and am not restoring to a previous save and lose hours of play time and advancement
That's a really weird and problematic one; basically you're stuck now as far as artifacts go? I can imagine not wanting to go back and redo all of that progression, that hurts.
@@SirStefanGaming I'll have to check back with you, as I haven't played in a week. Maybe I can get enough to NG+ again and correct the timeline...but I know for sure I can't get the artifact where you first meet Andreja, because when I went out of order, it brought her to the lodge and she's no longer in that cave where you first meet her. Game locks up. Tried multiple things and can't get to that artifact
I actually really like this game I find it very fun but it does lack a lot of content if Bethesda does what CD Project Red did with Cyberpunk it would be so much better
When we get frame generation this week I will be happy to wait for whatever else they are cooking up. I have fixed many of my gripes with starfield with mods anyway like the UI the HUD the inventories and shipbuilding mechanics I added a RED One X wing I need to build myself. But the parts are there and all sorts. so my game is not like it was yesterday or the day before without waiting for updates. But FSR 3 frame gen is really appreciated and cannot wait. The frame gen mod worked great on my PC. was getting 4k ultra over 120 fps. which is what I want. As I have a 120 hertz 4k 55 inch LG nanocell TV and a 165 hertz 1440p monitor both hooked up to my PC so more fps the better. And tbh the latency is minimal. feels like 120 hertz. So yes FSR 3 I cannot wait. No artifacts and dodgy shadows etc. like the mod. plus the mod messes up a lot in my experience. still great though. New weather effects i added. I can open and close my landing ramp lol. all sorts of cool stuff. which is what it's all about. who sticks to the base game in bethesda RPG's anyway. I think I can now fly around solar systems and round planets also. instead of using fast travel although I only added that last night and am yet to test it. Looks cool though. I am not sure it bypasses fast travel in solar systems but hoping it does. But I am waiting for FSR 3 before I jump back in. same with cyberpunk 2077.
Man gamers complain about too much. Think dev's would release all content day 1. Not how game development works they release vanilla copy then few months later, updates, dlcs, etc. I cant complain about star field. I enjoy it and I'm patient for more updates. Man games are man babies
I myself have played Starfield for more then 10,000 hours since it first came out, ( little exaggeration maybe). I am more addicted too the space flying then the planet fighting. the time I am more at peace and the building/ making an outpost are just very time consuming. I'd like to see actual "wings" onto the ship builders verses everything looking like aa space age submarine, clothing options would be nice to see other then using a "mod", not so futuristic or made up. some of the locations to quick travel does need to be redone, for instance the location at Mars, inside the terminal verses just outside the door to the underground city...
I think you have at least 2 zeros too many there :) I think you are one of the few people more into the space than surface content, nice! Do you also do a lot of shipbuilding? Thank you for the sub!
I just want the damn creation kit. Everything is taking too long.
Yeah it's taking a long time but they probably first want to get as many bugs out of the way. What are you planning on making when the kit comes out?
@SirStefanGaming I may make some small stuff like textures if I can. I'm not a modder. I mainly want it out so the good mods can arrive.
I absolutely hated this game and the ohly thing i liked was the persuasion mechanic but I'd be lying if i said this game doesnt have modding potential just like past bethesda games. Its February now and it's baffling how theres not even a single morsel of official news on CK2
Everyone acted like this with cyperpunk now people love same with skyrim it wasn't that great when it was first released now its one of greatest game ever I would love to see all these people complaining to create a perfect game with no problems
I love this game. There are definitely some bugs to fix, but I think most of the complaints are parrots repeating what they heard.
Great to see someone having a good time with the game!
PC is trash I hate pc gamers boring games yall think pc is superior but it's not only thing about pc is console games that came to pc all pc games are ass@@SirStefanGaming
I don't think this meh game is salvable. I uninstalled it long before finalizing the main quest. I have had most fun watching bashing videos on YT, since playing was boring for me.
I don't trust them to fix this game to any reasonable standard, or definition of the word fix.
Did Bethesda ever fix the storyline of Fallout 4? No. You may safely assume they will never fix the godawful storyline in Starfield.
I could give a shit about bug fixes. Every aspect of this game feels like a dumb 10 year old wrote it. From the base building to the economics.
Utter trash.
Yeah economy is pretty meh but then again I'm spoiled from playing EVE. I guess as far as storyline goes they can fix quests with these updates and add DLC for additional storyline.
@SirStefanGaming Economy? You pirate a starship, a device that can safely transport you across the entire galaxy, and then have to 'register' it for 95% of its value, only to sell it for less of a financial return than the guns and gear you scrounged off its dead crew.
The 'economy' of this game is gun running.
And on top of that: actual gun runners make an actual profit. Starfield Gun runners don't break even lol
I wish Bethesda knew that console players also paid hard-earned money for the game and that focusing only on fixes or upgrades for PC players is getting tiresome for us.
Xbox players do not have the luxury of mods, for example, and cannot address the myriad "game-breaking" bugs. Nor can we do anything about the constant crashes on the save screen, etc., etc.
I suppose taking away the Akila loot puddles took priority.
The update also contains fixes for Xbox specific bugs. The update is available for not just PC but also Xbox Series X/S.
Yes, thank you. I got the 11.64 GB update yesterday. Sadly, the Bessel III-b debacle remains and I had two more crashes or freezes on the save screen. I am not sure what was updated for Xbox Series X players, but I am sure it will help someone.@@SirStefanGaming
The improvements in Fallout 76 supposedly make it a much more playable game. So Bethesda has shown they are willing to keep tweaking for at least a couple years. I'm not sure that they are going to be able to make Starfield engaging though. I put in 254 hours in, trying desperately to like it. I'm now one of the herd over on Baldur's Gate III.
You hit it right on the head; there is a difference between tweaking (fixing what is broken in this game) and improving (to make it more engaging). The latter is really hard if that involves something that was never foreseen in the game. It has to fit in the scope of what was originally intended (otherwise is more modding then development).
@@SirStefanGaming I really think that no one at Bethesda did a deep dive over on Nexus to see what type of mods for Fallout 4/Skyrim were the most endorsed and the most downloaded. They were so engrossed at the random generation of planets that they forgot almost completely about content that would be engaging. Plus, come on, CBBE/UPN and Apachii Sky and KS Hair are some of the most beloved mods and you give us Oblivion potato people? There is a HUGE portion of Bethesda's core audience that spends hours on their paper dolls and they wiffed that right out of the park. The clone population of NPCs/randomly generated encounters is also a huge turn off and shows how weak their character creation software is and how little they have for the random generator to pick from. I seriously think that during planning sessions the statement, "The modders will take care of that, so we don't have to spend much time on it" was heard at least once a session. And where are the environmental goodies? I spent a good two years after Skyrim came out just tracking down all the easter eggs and goodies the developers had stuffed into out of the way corners of the map. Literally spent hours figuring out paths I could force my way up mountains to see what was on top. I'm waiting to see when they will stop screwing with Skyrim this time around so I can mod it and jump back in. Same to a lesser extent with Fallout 4. Starfield turned into one of those games where everyone can see the potential that was missed and I can't believe they are shocked at the response. And who were the alpha/beta testers??? Did they not bring up these glaringly obvious flaws during those tests?
So...I think it's funny that people haven't been able to see this, and there are still defenders of Bethesda. Let me compare and show you what the problem is in the fastest and simplest way.
In Fallout 3 there are huge sections of the world that have nothing in them. You then get a content nugget, and this is the bridge between old and new Bethesda. Those nuggets used to be crafted, so each nugget was a pleasure. It was OK to have nothing, because finding something then felt amazing. I swear to the lord above that "another settlement needing my help" is the easiest way to condense new Bethesda. Instead of a nugget of content we get a pre-packaged "nugglet." It's randomly generated, but with such strict rules that a nugglet is indistinguishable from any other nugglet. When even the breaks between nothing aren't pleasurable they cannot fix things with a patch.
Let me also provide an example. One of the rare nuggets in Fallout 4 is the ship flying across the commonwealth due to a mad robot. It uses some basic skill checks...or forces you to go on nugglet scavenger hunts. It culminates in a nugget...which insta-kills you even in god mode if you remain on the ship. It's a perfect representation of new Bethesda RNG tainting old Bethesda...a company that made Daggerfall before they decided that RNG should be 90% of the game so it fails to be special when you see all permutations during regular play because you failed to even understand how much R is needed to make RNG functional.
A clue for Bethesda. If you have a random event an average of once every 20 minutes, 5 categories of random events, 3 flavors within each category, and all your other bits boil down to the pre-programmed structure of the areas then you've got maybe 10-20 hours of game. That's assuming you don't get the same event 5 times in a row because you wanted "evergreen" content and decided that meant a settlement needs to be attacked by an RNG group from one of a few fixed locations.
As far as this video...yeah. You seem to want to give Bethesda the benefit of doubt. The first patch I download for any Bethesda game is the unofficial community patch...because years later it still contains stuff the developers can't be bothered with, that the "but it has to pass cert" argument looks stupid trying to offer. The problem with Bethesda is that they again released a game you "can experience" multiple times and make multiple choices...but the cost is to give up everything which makes the value of any playthrough zero. They "reward" you with space wizard powers...which is great in a game where the whole space wizard thing seems to be the half dried glue used to hold their barely logical systems together that have all been streamlined out of being fun. I can't believe this...but I long for the days of constantly breaking weapons because at least I could use the hunting rifles to repair Lincoln's rifle (Fallout 3 players will know), and I didn't have to expend half a clip on a level 300 enemy despite being maxed out in everything because the scaling for skills basically dies at about level 50...after which the enemy numbers keep going up but there's no way for yours to equally go up.
Sorry, but Bethesda's incarnation since Fallout 3, and even partially including it, suck. When your answer for "why not vehicles" is "our decades old updates to Gamebryo never assumed anybody would have a frame rate above 30 FPS and you'd take 30+ seconds to cross the load cells we've arbitrarily chosen to support this code spaghetti then you've failed to be a good developer for years...that's not a patch, that's why Bethesda was a huge acquired by MS...the one entity who similarly cannot understand why things that worked before don't work forever. Long live windows live...always online xbox...MS store...Zune...Windows phone....Windows Home Server...sorry, seem to have blacked out for a second there. That much stupidity is blinding.
Interesting , Thank You . The main problem I have is getting Stuck . Happy Gaming
Yesterday I found that my SFSE no longer works so I'll have to wait for an update. What now concerns me is will this happen every six weeks now?
Depending on how many mods you have installed it has a good chance of happening every single update. From what I can tell, this has been a common issue and the solution seems to be to wait for the SFSE loader to update:

@@SirStefanGaming right!!
Bethesda aren't Blizzard and I'm not sure they can create a game people constantly want to play, Diablo 3 is super ancient and i still play it, i just can't buy Starfield until Bethesda improves the Steam rating.
I wish they would make another 100 to 300 handcrafted points of interest they can throw into the mix. I'm sure every person that has played the game has eventually come across the same science lab or abandon outpost. They also need to add some grit and grime. It's such a PG13 game even tho it's rated M for mature. I guess it's rated M just cause if the shooting and gun use. Your literally never see anyone using drugs or even smoking a cigarette. I love the game but there is a bunch of things that need to be worked on
True. For me, encountering the same POI 3 times in an hour is definitely a mood killer because you can almost run it on auto-pilot. The only thing missing is an auto-sim option; then the POIs really just revolve around RNG-ing loot.
They've already fixed a ton of stuff, when the game first came out the performance was terrible and the game was trying to melt my cpu and it ran terrible, now I run over 100 fps most of the time. It's still got a ton of bugs, but I love the game. They've already added a lot of stuff to planets, and stuff is closer together and it takes less than a few minutes to get anywhere. I have huge hours in and I've been finding new still lately. I'm looking forward to what the modders can do with a 1000 planets and moons. The game should have never been released when it was, it wasn't ready for prime time. The only bug that could get me to stop is the bug that makes you go to NG when your game gets too big and you start crashing.
It's still awful. No amount of lies will change that.
Lies no....but updates and DLC maybe will?
@@SirStefanGaming I haven't received illegally undeclared money so I can say no, it won't.
Haha yeah if game developers would have to resort to bribes to change people's minds about updates and DLCs then something is going very wrong
@@SirStefanGaming They do. In fact many $100's of millions are spent on influencer marketing every year in the games industry alone. If you see a positive video on a globally mocked and derired game such as Starfield it is almost certainly paid for in money or gifts in kind (access, merch, etc). Failing to disclose that is against US law by the way, but it's rarely enforced.
I think it deserves a bit more nuance. A sponsorship (which is not illegal or unethical) offered for 1 video to an influencer is not by default a bribe. Otherwise any and all types of transactions can be called bribery. Any political campaign donations would be as well as tipping at a restaurant; both of which are perfectly legal in the US (failing to disclose compensation, be it a sponsorship, donation or investment is against the law in a lot of countries actually).
Just so we're clear: I haven't had Todd Howard on my porch yet, offering me a Starfield-custom design MoonSwatch trying to get me to write a perfectly positive review for Starfield 😋
Does anyone know what the blue magnifying glass is and the explanation mark also means?
The blue magnifying glass is displayed when you are tracking that specific resource, which you can toggle on and off when examining a recipe on a crafting bench. That way you know that, when you come across one of the required resources when looting or scavenging, you need that item in order to be able to craft whatever recipe you were tracking the resources for.
The explanation mark is displayed when you have picked something up that is new in your inventory. Same goes for when you have modified a weapon.
@@SirStefanGaming thank you good sir, you confirmed my research I eventually found. Appreciate your response
I will return only if they put 2 things, coop and a vehicle for planet surfaces. Until they do that this game will remain boring forever.
I don't think starfield is a terrible game, i think it's more of an average game but everyone was expecting a masterpiece.
Dont get me wrong it does have some stupid design decisions (dialogue, exploration rewards, loading screens and childish writing being the worse offenders)
At the moment i think we have the alpha barebones version of the game and maybe in 2-3 years time and with mods i believe it will be a fantastic game.
They definitely do deserve the criticism they are getting at the moment.
Im not willing to fully give up it just yet tho, ive 100% the game (steam achievements) so im in no rush to get back into unless I see some seriously good content and updates added.
Yes modders kind of have a "break", they don't have the "red tape". First, funny how there DOESN'T seem to be this "red tape" or "procedures" when they RELEASE their , not completely working game yet when it comes time for those "fixes" , oh red tape, red tape. Second even AFTER they go through their so called "procedures" they STILL release stuff that doesn't work orrrrr , an oldie but a goodie, it fixes the ONE thing but breaks a DOZEN OTHER things. Red tape , procedures, yeahhh right. I'm NOT interested on WHAT they have to SAY anymore. WHAT are you DOING? 8 YEARS and you got a "patch" in...BETA? "Every six months", how many "six months"? annnddd how are they going to keep that up when they're "laying off" THOUSANDS of the WORKERS?
Agreed, actions speak louder than words. Releasing a game in relation to it's state (how complete is it) will always be a mixed decision between development and corporate. Otherwise you get Star Forge on one end and Star Citizen on the other :P If I said every 6 months in the video I apologize; it's every 6 weeks for releasing an update.
7:00...That's the problem, "...meaningful content". Forget bugs and glitches; that's to be expected from a BGS game.
There is no hook at the beginning. No moral or ethical dilemmas with serious considerations for any action you may take. Why is this labeled a "role playing game" and has no role playing in it?
Take the Free Star Rangers at the beginning. It doesn't matter what you do at the bank; you're made a deputy no matter what. The entire game gives you the illusion of choice.
Uninspired fetch quests. Go get coffee and bring it back. This wasn't a set up quest that leads you to some sort of decision making. Just...get coffee. Really?
Uninspired side quests. So you accidentally stole a cup in New Atlantis. The next thing that happens is you're arrested and sent to a holding cell with all your equipment. You have a choice, join the United Colonies CIA Mobile Task Force and take down the pirates or don't. All this because of a cup of coffee.
A totally uninspired and brain numbing main quest.
All rewards are lackluster.
Everything is poorly written and I feel sorry for any voice actor that thought they were in for a unique and exciting wild ride with the player. "Do you know the way to Uranus?" None of the voice actors had a pivotal role with the 4 main Companions being simply insufferable to be around.
You can't "fix" these things without a total rewrite. And that's why I'll never play the game again. But hey! You can spend countless hours padding your levels and useless perks at an outpost. And then spend the next 300 hours playing in the shipbuilder. Oh joy! And at the "end" you get to do it all over again with NG+.
Thank you for taking the time to clearly state your experience. You are right: as soon as people start to wonder "what am I even doing here?" or "how am I impacting the environment around me in a meaningful way?" and they come up empty then yeah, why play if there is no reward, no incentive?
Hence the "meaningful content" remark because if the current level of engagement is low from today's content, then more of the same isn't going to make a difference.
@@SirStefanGaming And THAT'S why I'm afraid for Elder Scrolls 6.
I love Starfield! The patches are just going to polish a great game.
The game is not broken. People are just hating for the sake of hating yes it needs improvements but you cannot take away what they have done with the game. It's pretty special in lots of ways. But has it's bad points i admit. but it's fine. Not broken lol. But I want new features I expect new features. And we the expansion that I am sure will bring new features. everyone wants everything now. It doesn't work like that I am sorry to say. Grow up.
Starfield can't be saved, game is boring as fucjk.
Just out of curiosity (as you seem genuinely bored with the game :P): in a couple of months time, would you check back on the game to see if you feel different and what would they have to add/change for you to not feel bored in Starfield?
@@SirStefanGamingill give my imput aswell . no not unless they can fix the world's being separated into little squares make it so we can fly planet to planet and manually land get rid of the copy pasted poi but I know none of that will never happen
No I don't see that happening neither
Relax people it just takes Bethesda LONGER than it took MANKIND to form the agency and build the machines to take humans to the MOON. Making games isss haaarrrddd.
The more thousands of emplpyees you have the longer it takes. Basic math
I know there IS bloat, has to be buuttt THAT much? Just NOW they're realizing, maayybee we got too many ? All of the sudden they just HAVE TO let them ALL go? IF it were me the FIRST ONE out the door is the one who did ALL the hiring. lol@@mediokay
The other basic mathis they're not done making the money off of their latest. GTA 5 is a perfect example. If they didn't have their cash cow, money printing, gta online money there would have ALREADY been a gta 6 and people would be waiting on seven buttttt Rockstar AIN'T done with 5...yet.@@mediokay
I do enjoy this game. But there's so many glaring errors and just blatant lazy writing, and diesign. Its getting harder to over look the more I play. If they drastically reduced the number of planets and just handcrafted one or 2 and kept procedural generation on another 2 systems, it would be instantly better. The game feels so copy and pasted. I enjoy playing but the more I play the more I'm noticing that it feels more like the devs pushed out a game to meet a dead line rather than put time and love into a game they were truly proud of.
If you really start paying special attention to have many times you come across the same sites then it can become annoying yeah.
So they polished the turd.
Still will not be reloading this disappointment and waste of $$$.
Yes! Polish a turd and it will still be a turd, but now they need to have that turd composted, to transform it into an improved, nutrient-rich soil structure from which Starfield can grow and flourish!.....I'm sorry I did my best to stay within the theme and this is the best I could come up with.
In all seriousness (and I mean this in an objective way) people paid good money for this game so from that perspective alone it would be preferable that the updates and DLC did more than just polish.
There is phrase used in the legal profession. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. Starfield can not be "fixed" any more than the Titanic can. There *should* have been a Skyrim amount of content on each colonized planet, given the amount of years the game was in development, but there is not a Skyrim amount of content in the whole damn galaxy.
Very true phrase. At some point they must have agreed upon the amount of content per colonized/core planet being enough to keep people busy and now that it turns out through player feedback it is not, I'm curious to see if they will start churning out DLC's (paid or NMS-approach) per planet or per gameplay segment to start enriching it to up the level of fun or enjoyment. I would actually have to check how long it took for Hello Games to start adding actual content instead of bug fixes. Anyway, I think it would be to BGS' credit to paint a big bulls-eye on the goal of adding more content and/or find a way to bind more gameplay elements together. Easier said than done of course....I'm just arm chairing away here :)
Bethesda is not sincere about wanting to fix the bugs in the game. I say that, because if you read the list of fixes most of them were rare occurrences. Why would you prioritize a fix for a rare occurrence?
Because even though they might not be the #1 issues of all feedback collected; they might be the ones possible to fix within 6 weeks to get a batch ready for the first update deadline? And picking 100 of them is a somewhat symbolic number to storm out of the gate with. Other bugs or improvements might take a lot longer due to complexity or interdependencies with other issues so I'm assuming they are not only prioritizing according how high the bug ranks on the scale of # of mentions in feedback but also the time it takes to complete it. And they did promise everyone an update every 6 weeks so perhaps the reason why they would prioritize certain occurrences over others is because they can't afford to not make the deadline or only have 5 fixes in it.
