Step 1: Bethesda insists they don't need to change game engines, continues using Creation Engine, a patchwork of a patchwork of a patchwork. Step 2: Bethesda's next game is missing features it desperately needed. Bethesda cites 'engine limitations'. Step 3: Repeat for eternity.

@@alien0gamer139 My guy, it's both -- The engine has been *looked* into and torn apart and optimized where possible for multiple games.

It's both. The engine builder left, and up until Skyrim or so it had talent it slowly bled off, but none of them knew how to -- or cared to -- properly fix the engine from the ground up. It's not even 'Ship of Theseus'ing it; they're not really replacing or optimizing the old code no matter what anyone officially says.

13:37 the reason that hasn't been "fixed" is because it is intentional, they have their own invisible ammo type that does not run out, the ammo you give them is just a suggestion, reason for this? Easier on the engine.

Not gonna lie, Baldur's Gate 3 really saved the year for me with all the things post-poned or butchered (no Nintendo, no PS5). And CP77's comeback too. Aside from that, all I had this year was my gaming backlog - wouldn't have shit without it xD For Starfield, I'm just gonna end for Bethesda's all DLCs and modders fixing the game - maybe adding at least a single complex companion I'll like.

To be fair you could do the ammo trick in Fallout 3 and Oblivion too if I'm not mistaken. Why when people say Bethesda fixes their games I start bleeding out of my nose. Although too be fair, they did not have the prerequisite 20,000 bugs in Starfeild so progress I guess.
No one ever taught them how to change the battery in a smoke alarm, i bet they didn't even know that thing has a battery. My mother taught me. School didn't.
They went for a science punk type of look for starfield I will admit the game is buggy but that is part of the charm Todd Howard did say on the E3 thing the the mods will help with most of it but once again I understand where people are coming from for hating it but it's a good game to me but that's my opinion js
@@Beepers559 I mean they lied about a lot of things and that they made the game better after many years does not make it all good in my opinion but game itself by now is at least worthy of playing.
yeah... this is just Bethesda now. i've played a shit ton of Skyrim over the last 12 years, i love it, but it's not a good game, even "mediocre" would be giving it a bit too much credit. Bethesda really lost something after Oblivion and Fallout 3. I fully expected Starfield to not be good, and i was not wrong. everything that is wrong with it is what i said would be wrong. Fallout 4 is great if you mod it up to the tits and make it unrecognizable as Fallout 4. Fallout 76 still isn't good, and yes, i am also deeply concerned for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. However, Obsidian is potentially working on a New Vegas remaster and New Vegas 2. atleast those will be good.
Honestly Starfield is basically Skyrim (on release) again..... Since 2011 Bethesda failed to make new (and good) game and just re-release either Fallout or Skyrim.
Something ive noticed about Bethesda games, if you disregard the main story and just roam around, especially in Starfield you'll have a better time. I treat the game likes it No Mans Sky
Its probably like Mass Effect Andromeda. In my opinion that was a decent game but a terrible Mass Effect game. Starfield is a decent game, but terribly disappointing if you step back and consider it's from a AAA studio charging you 70 dollars for it. Based off this review it'd be an amazing game from an indie studio or a great non-AAA game.
It's Skyrim and fallout in space. Like genuinely. It has all the same flaws, and the same gameplay. I guess if they charged an extra ten dollars for fallout 4 everyone would've rioted. But honestly Seth admitted himself that he's only mad because he paid 100 dollars for it. Which, why Seth? Why would you do that? Remember fallout 76? Why would you ever pay for more than base price after fallout 76?
Bethesda hasn't had truly great game since fall out new vages even skyrim is just good. And my faith in this once great game studieo is completely absent, ill only get elder scrolls 6 if and when it comes out if it gets positive reviews from the reviwers I trust such as angry Joe, mandlar, sseth, gamer tron and the ecapest and not the company's that have being bought and sold
Please check who actually made fallout new vegas, dishonored and doom. Tip although there are different teams not a single game of those was made by bethesda. Those bastards just buy out devs that are desperate and bait them with things that are arbitrary or just impossible to do (like make new vegas in a year or so and it must have high notes on some garbage review site.). Im getting tired of people like you that cannot read and say bethesda is good because they sometimes do great games.... while listing games bethesda had nothing to do with (other than fucking them over like forcing arcane studios to rename their game into "Pray" great game that was mismarketed and making people pissed because it had nothing to do with original pray.), in fact those games are good because bethesda stayed as far as possible so talented people could work in peace.
Starfield and Fallout 76 are the reason I'm not buying the next Elder Scrolls game. It's going to be dogshit. You know it's going to be dogshit. We all do. Elder Scolls Online is proof that they don't respect the lore or care about the setting AT ALL. They literally retconned half the interesting things in the lore away, like the Altimer capital city being made of glass, as "propaganda," so they could just copy paste castles and mud huts for everything. Fallout 76 and paid mods proved that they don't respect the community, and in fact actually hate us all. And Starfield was, indeed an ATTEMPT to make a good game. A new franchise, even. And it's proved that they can't. They cannot make a good game now. So ES6 is dead. Accept it, move on, and find peace.
The pacing of the game is awfull and it has tons of boring meaningless bs. The only way I could actually enjoy the game was by focusing on the main questlines because everything else is worthless filler that doesn't matter. In skyrim and fallout you can go in any direction and you might find something interesting. In starfield landing in random locations is meaningless because you'll find the the same 10 structures with either pirates or mercenaries with the same random loot that is worthless once you have a higher leveled version of it. Also the interface is a nightmare. They couldn't even be bothered to make a functional map for the few cities in the game.
I might be called a shill, but after more than 360 hours on the game and about to go into ng+3 (new game +3) I genuinely don’t understand how Seth’s video can even remotely be considered when talking about the general experience of the game, I’ve explored every solar system, tried to play all the major quests and side quests, and I have so few major bugs that I can safely say that this is among the most polished games Bethesda has released to date, and generally the story is a little short but the point of the game is to take your time with everything, I can guarantee that Seth didn’t even do much with all the companions because most of them (most) have some interesting backstories and their interactions with the player (to me) feel more real compared to companions in previous games, all in all this game is meant to be taken slow, and in my opinion it’s for people who already have an interest in space and space travel, lots of the planets are barren sure, but that’s realistic, the game is more or less representing a realistic universe, I’d say just the exploration alone is the most defining feature and is in fact what the player faction is all about.
Statement: honestly I’ve been enjoying the game and I haven’t gotten any bugs that weren’t directly caused by me. And that only happened once when I left a companion on a ship that flew off.
@@Skyte100response: probably not, I’d wait until the price goes down or a sale happens but I got it for free because of cloud gaming on Xbox. It is worth playing but it’s not worth paying AAA prices.
@@Azorees-oj5zrand then you have the same problem Mass Effect Andromeda had. You have an okay game but doesn't hold up to past games in certain ways and can't justify the price.
@@Skyte100 response: pretty much, I do enjoy the leveling system a lot though, much better than Skyrim’s or Fallout 4’s leveling systems, having to actually do something relevant to the skill in order to improve it is nice. The combat is about what you’d expect but at least on normal, the enemies aren’t bullet sponges (at least no where near the amount they were in Fallout 4), so long as you use the right weapon. The cities are probably the best they’ve ever been from Bethesda, they actually feel like cities instead of small villages.
The thing is that Sseth does have valid arguments but as he said at the end the game isnt that bad, he is just bait it gives you choices and impact of those choices, character are more on morally good side but that dosnt mean they are horrible they are decently written with some nice companion quests. etertaning both space combat and ground combat and some epic faction quests. Glitches are still there but they are more rare then review lead you to belive since usualy they are just yoinked from early game versions or stolen from youtube or some that are just straight up lies spawned with console commands. The arguments of there being allot of loading screen and having some npcs like the board be unkillabe are still valid crtisism tho.
yeah the UC main questline is good imo and also I think so many people focus just on Sarah Morgan but there are way better companions like Andreja, who's way better written and feels more like an actual person. Also the Adoring fan is in this game which automatically makes it a 10/10
I've played Starfield for around 50 hours and I haven't encountered many bugs except the usual Bethesda game shenanigans like npcs glitching out and stuff like that but I always find that fun rather than some people who get annoyed at that shit, like bruh npcs in bethesda games have always been goofy. like before in bethesda games npcs being goofy just became memes but now as soon as a minor thing happens it's suddenly the worst thing ever and some big problem with the game. yeah i get it if you get mad at game breaking shit (i do too) but if you get mad at minor things like i just described before i think there's something wrong with you because it's just fun. and if you think i sound biased yeah i am, im a big fan of bethesda games, their main gameplay loop is just so fun to me.
I honestly don't understand. Skyrim and fallout 4 have all the same issues of Starfield. Every single one. But those games are loved, even with out mods. I genuinely don't understand unless you want to just claim nostalgia biase.

@@theguylivinginyourwalls if it's the same, that doesn't answer why Skyrim is loved! Also fallout 4 is just Skyrim but in fallout. And no one cares. Fallout 4 is still loved as well. So no. Reusing gameplay doesn't explain shit! So unless you have a real answer, stop being an ass.
It has the same issues as Morrowind. The same bugs present in Morrowind (2 thousand f-ing 3) are present in Starfield. In two decades, they've done absolutely nothing to improve their engine outside of some slightly prettier graphics. Their AI is downright awful, easily abused and exploited, as well. Outside of their garbage engine (I make mods for Fallout 4, I know the ins and outs of the CK), they won't do anything to improve SIMPLE game design. Their story writing is absolutely atrocious on top of that. Look at the difference in how games treat the player between Morrowind and now. It's night and day, and completely painful.

No one ever taught them how to change the battery in a smoke alarm, i bet they didn't even know that thing has a battery. My mother taught me. School didn't.
after the bs with fallout 76 i quit buying anything from Bethesda
They went for a science punk type of look for starfield I will admit the game is buggy but that is part of the charm Todd Howard did say on the E3 thing the the mods will help with most of it but once again I understand where people are coming from for hating it but it's a good game to me but that's my opinion js
I believe that the visual style is called NASA Punk.
@@Azorees-oj5zr ya that my b
Y’know no man’s sky ain’t looking so bad after all
also game bloat starslop is like 130GB while no mans sky is like 10GB lol. If you had not played it yet try it. It is fun.
@@xxXXRAPXXxx as a matter of fact I played it day 1, back when No Man’s Sky was considered one of the worst games iirc back in the day
@@Beepers559 I mean they lied about a lot of things and that they made the game better after many years does not make it all good in my opinion but game itself by now is at least worthy of playing.
@@xxXXRAPXXxx yeah that kinda was what helped sour NMS’s image back then, didn’t help that at launch it got stale quickly
@@xxXXRAPXXxx may I suggest Internet Historian's NMS vid
I really REALLY hope that they don't fuck over elder scrolls 6
Oh trust me They will but the mods will fix it.
yeah... this is just Bethesda now. i've played a shit ton of Skyrim over the last 12 years, i love it, but it's not a good game, even "mediocre" would be giving it a bit too much credit. Bethesda really lost something after Oblivion and Fallout 3. I fully expected Starfield to not be good, and i was not wrong. everything that is wrong with it is what i said would be wrong. Fallout 4 is great if you mod it up to the tits and make it unrecognizable as Fallout 4. Fallout 76 still isn't good, and yes, i am also deeply concerned for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. However, Obsidian is potentially working on a New Vegas remaster and New Vegas 2. atleast those will be good.
Yeah, Displate probably has 40K stuff.
Honestly Starfield is basically Skyrim (on release) again.....
Since 2011 Bethesda failed to make new (and good) game and just re-release either Fallout or Skyrim.
Something ive noticed about Bethesda games, if you disregard the main story and just roam around, especially in Starfield you'll have a better time. I treat the game likes it No Mans Sky
I'm of this opinion about Cyberpunk as well.
I got my steam refund
Starfield more like Bugfield
bethesda is better at making a platform for people to mod than they are at developing a functioning product. *stares at legacy of the dragonborn*
You know I really thought this game was better, I heard some praise about it.
Its probably like Mass Effect Andromeda. In my opinion that was a decent game but a terrible Mass Effect game. Starfield is a decent game, but terribly disappointing if you step back and consider it's from a AAA studio charging you 70 dollars for it.
Based off this review it'd be an amazing game from an indie studio or a great non-AAA game.
It's Skyrim and fallout in space. Like genuinely.
It has all the same flaws, and the same gameplay. I guess if they charged an extra ten dollars for fallout 4 everyone would've rioted.
But honestly Seth admitted himself that he's only mad because he paid 100 dollars for it. Which, why Seth? Why would you do that? Remember fallout 76? Why would you ever pay for more than base price after fallout 76?
Bethesda hasn't had truly great game since fall out new vages even skyrim is just good.
And my faith in this once great game studieo is completely absent, ill only get elder scrolls 6 if and when it comes out if it gets positive reviews from the reviwers I trust such as angry Joe, mandlar, sseth, gamer tron and the ecapest and not the company's that have being bought and sold
Please check who actually made fallout new vegas, dishonored and doom.
Tip although there are different teams not a single game of those was made by bethesda.
Those bastards just buy out devs that are desperate and bait them with things that are arbitrary or just impossible to do (like make new vegas in a year or so and it must have high notes on some garbage review site.).
Im getting tired of people like you that cannot read and say bethesda is good because they sometimes do great games.... while listing games bethesda had nothing to do with (other than fucking them over like forcing arcane studios to rename their game into "Pray" great game that was mismarketed and making people pissed because it had nothing to do with original pray.), in fact those games are good because bethesda stayed as far as possible so talented people could work in peace.
Starfield and Fallout 76 are the reason I'm not buying the next Elder Scrolls game. It's going to be dogshit. You know it's going to be dogshit. We all do. Elder Scolls Online is proof that they don't respect the lore or care about the setting AT ALL. They literally retconned half the interesting things in the lore away, like the Altimer capital city being made of glass, as "propaganda," so they could just copy paste castles and mud huts for everything. Fallout 76 and paid mods proved that they don't respect the community, and in fact actually hate us all. And Starfield was, indeed an ATTEMPT to make a good game. A new franchise, even. And it's proved that they can't. They cannot make a good game now. So ES6 is dead. Accept it, move on, and find peace.
It's sad that many RUclipsrs who reviewed games that I thought were trustworthy....Sold out to Bethesda on this garbage game 🤦♂️
Far as I can tell with Starfield, it’s just an even shittier Warframe. Warframe atleast has a good story.
please make that war thunder video
The pacing of the game is awfull and it has tons of boring meaningless bs. The only way I could actually enjoy the game was by focusing on the main questlines because everything else is worthless filler that doesn't matter. In skyrim and fallout you can go in any direction and you might find something interesting. In starfield landing in random locations is meaningless because you'll find the the same 10 structures with either pirates or mercenaries with the same random loot that is worthless once you have a higher leveled version of it.
Also the interface is a nightmare. They couldn't even be bothered to make a functional map for the few cities in the game.
I might be called a shill, but after more than 360 hours on the game and about to go into ng+3 (new game +3) I genuinely don’t understand how Seth’s video can even remotely be considered when talking about the general experience of the game, I’ve explored every solar system, tried to play all the major quests and side quests, and I have so few major bugs that I can safely say that this is among the most polished games Bethesda has released to date, and generally the story is a little short but the point of the game is to take your time with everything, I can guarantee that Seth didn’t even do much with all the companions because most of them (most) have some interesting backstories and their interactions with the player (to me) feel more real compared to companions in previous games, all in all this game is meant to be taken slow, and in my opinion it’s for people who already have an interest in space and space travel, lots of the planets are barren sure, but that’s realistic, the game is more or less representing a realistic universe, I’d say just the exploration alone is the most defining feature and is in fact what the player faction is all about.
Statement: honestly I’ve been enjoying the game and I haven’t gotten any bugs that weren’t directly caused by me.
And that only happened once when I left a companion on a ship that flew off.
Is it worth the AAA price though?
@@Skyte100response: probably not, I’d wait until the price goes down or a sale happens but I got it for free because of cloud gaming on Xbox.
It is worth playing but it’s not worth paying AAA prices.
@@Azorees-oj5zrand then you have the same problem Mass Effect Andromeda had. You have an okay game but doesn't hold up to past games in certain ways and can't justify the price.
@@Skyte100 response: pretty much, I do enjoy the leveling system a lot though, much better than Skyrim’s or Fallout 4’s leveling systems, having to actually do something relevant to the skill in order to improve it is nice.
The combat is about what you’d expect but at least on normal, the enemies aren’t bullet sponges (at least no where near the amount they were in Fallout 4), so long as you use the right weapon.
The cities are probably the best they’ve ever been from Bethesda, they actually feel like cities instead of small villages.
The thing is that Sseth does have valid arguments but as he said at the end the game isnt that bad, he is just bait it gives you choices and impact of those choices, character are more on morally good side but that dosnt mean they are horrible they are decently written with some nice companion quests. etertaning both space combat and ground combat and some epic faction quests.
Glitches are still there but they are more rare then review lead you to belive since usualy they are just yoinked from early game versions or stolen from youtube or some that are just straight up lies spawned with console commands.
The arguments of there being allot of loading screen and having some npcs like the board be unkillabe are still valid crtisism tho.
yeah the UC main questline is good imo and also I think so many people focus just on Sarah Morgan but there are way better companions like Andreja, who's way better written and feels more like an actual person. Also the Adoring fan is in this game which automatically makes it a 10/10
@@yeet5729 Eh i Like Sarah a war vet with survivors guilt that just wants tot chill and explore is fine with me,
Star field is a shitter version of No man's Sky.
Yall are just better off playing Cyberpunk
I've played Starfield for around 50 hours and I haven't encountered many bugs except the usual Bethesda game shenanigans like npcs glitching out and stuff like that but I always find that fun rather than some people who get annoyed at that shit, like bruh npcs in bethesda games have always been goofy. like before in bethesda games npcs being goofy just became memes but now as soon as a minor thing happens it's suddenly the worst thing ever and some big problem with the game. yeah i get it if you get mad at game breaking shit (i do too) but if you get mad at minor things like i just described before i think there's something wrong with you because it's just fun. and if you think i sound biased yeah i am, im a big fan of bethesda games, their main gameplay loop is just so fun to me.
Starfield commits a great sin. It's drab and boring.
I honestly don't understand.
Skyrim and fallout 4 have all the same issues of Starfield. Every single one. But those games are loved, even with out mods.
I genuinely don't understand unless you want to just claim nostalgia biase.
@@thewarpedone....1980 you didn't explain why Skyrim is loved, but Starfield is hated.
@@craig2196 Re-read that comment. First line.
"lazy programming"
Allow me to draw further attention to the most important word.
"LAZY"
Let's go even further now. Spell it out.
L. A. Z. Y.
It's _lazy._ It's _just Skyrim in space._ It's _the same shit they've made already._
People were expecting _far_ more from a brand new IP than "hey it's more of the same".
@@theguylivinginyourwalls if it's the same, that doesn't answer why Skyrim is loved!
Also fallout 4 is just Skyrim but in fallout. And no one cares.
Fallout 4 is still loved as well.
So no. Reusing gameplay doesn't explain shit! So unless you have a real answer, stop being an ass.
It has the same issues as Morrowind.
The same bugs present in Morrowind (2 thousand f-ing 3) are present in Starfield.
In two decades, they've done absolutely nothing to improve their engine outside of some slightly prettier graphics. Their AI is downright awful, easily abused and exploited, as well.
Outside of their garbage engine (I make mods for Fallout 4, I know the ins and outs of the CK), they won't do anything to improve SIMPLE game design. Their story writing is absolutely atrocious on top of that.
Look at the difference in how games treat the player between Morrowind and now. It's night and day, and completely painful.
