The more something is hyped, the more hate it receives. The more people are excited about something, the more it annoys other that hate seeing people be happy. Lots of other worst games didn’t get this much hate. This is 2 reasons among many.
Facts, also people just wanted this game to flop. But it does seem like hype or maybe even Bethesda over sold it. Not sure about Bethesda themselves as i didn’t follow the marketing.
@@Chad4401 I feel like thats is true to an extent some Sony fans or plain old Xbox haters just hate the game because its MS. But that don’t excuse the fact that hype and overselling can piss people off. I know some people who were anticipating this game didn’t expect you to not be able to walk the planets in a full loop. I’m not saying this next part to hate at all and I’ve only watched gameplay and reviews but I’m not seeing anything this game does to push the next gen hardware which at the very least this game should be doing. Now if it does then thats dope and I’d like to know examples but I’m just not seeing it. That doesn’t mean the game is bad because it actually looks pretty fun.
I really don't get that hate at all, some people definitely have valid points about certain things like the inventory, fast travel menus etc but overall Bethesda delivered their usual formula in a huge semi open universe setting. You can definitely tell effort went into the game and maybe with hindsight they might say they were a touch too ambitious. I look forward to seeing what they do with the game moving forwards 👍
well said, game design is tricky and there's special touch that needs to be applied. it makes a lot of people happy in different ways we all appreciate in some form. if you can't find something to enjoy about the game - perhaps now it's time to decide a new genre to play... only billions of games to choose from. any of them more fun than bitching about a single player game. :D
@@marktorres6385 I don't disagree on the loading screens they should have maybe found a way to make them less immersion breaking. I like some aspects of the story but I think it gets silly towards the end in the final acts. The combat is a lot better than F4 imo kinda reminds me of borderlands combat now.
@@marktorres6385The areas loaded are huge though. I jumped off my penthouses's balcony and went parkouring the roofs of new atlantis. Everything was there. The whole city, all npcs doing their stuff, my ship plus a wide area surrounding new atlantis with several pois to explore. No loading screens at all. I can see why they had to make some trade-offs like having a load screen for some building's interior. I don't know.i somewhat understand the complaints about the loading stuff, but it's a little blown out of proportion imo.
Yep, like Todd said it's a Bethesda RPG through and through, this game is HUGE. Every single Bethesda title you had a loading screen for every damn doors, but we're in 2023 and people like to complain and cry about everything to get more views and popularity.
Thanks for speaking out about this. I tried to ignore it all and enjoy the game but it’s annoying knowing that the devs put so much time into this game.
I’m a casual gamer who picks up games every so often, every game I have played recently this included that have been destroyed by the gamer community I have had fun with. This tells me they will never be happy no matter they create. Is starfield perfect? No but am I have a fun yes. Games seem to have gone from just having fun to being a toxic industry between the companies and people playing them.
I've only really started this game I have a couple hours in but I think this game is great not sure I understand all the hate it's received. From the opening scene in the mines I felt completely immersed into the atmosphere. I actually worked in a coal mine and watching that miner bust through the wall left me speechless...
@@jimmybrowning9133 not sure if he’s part of the hate mob. Enjoy the game bro 👍 The haters need help too… they need all the help they can get to spam hate comments. We’ll just sit back and enjoy this amazing game lol you have a nice day mate 😁
@@mikey6633 Thanks Mikey! I mean the game cost me 0$ not sure what there is to be upset about I'm enjoying the game. I rate a game on if it can hold my attention and this game has and will continue to for some time. Have a great day I appreciate the kind words.
Starfield _very quickly_ became my favorite game...and it's because I _got into it_ very quickly. It's not meant to be played like every other Bethesda game, and a lot of the hate seems to be coming from long-time Bethesda fans who went in with expectations which would _never_ be met. I learned from CP2077 and Stray; I avoided the hype as much as I could and went in clean and as unbiased as possible...and I'm finding it hard to stop playing. I find the planets to be beautifully rendered, the environmental affects [i]really[/i] add something to it, and it's just a very pretty game in general. Combat is very fun and movie-like. The music has that "2001: A Space Odyssey", wonder-of-space vibe that fits perfectly. The alien life isn't just the same five dinosaurs on every planet...though the plants could use more variety. And all of the building options! Yes, outposts could use a few more bits and pieces, like interior walls and doors, but _still._ It's one of the _prettiest_ games I've ever seen. And you're so right that people are spoiled. So many of the complaints stem from _comparisons_ to other games. Taken on its own terms, Starfield is so much fun.
Starfield was a beautiful experience. Traversing barren moons and planets, jumping between systems, everything from the sounds to the music instilled a sense of wonder. It definitely felt like a spiritual successor to Interstellar at the beginning. The game offered a ton to dig into: faction missions, thrilling fights, diverse character builds, crafting, ship customization, outposts - you name it. Honestly, it's the first game in years that had me hooked for 12 hours straight. It's baffling how someone could call it a 'bad' game after 200 hours! The fact you got over 60 hours yourself speaks volumes about your experience. There's no way you could invest that much time in a truly awful game
I think it’s multiple factors. -It’s a Bethesda game -it’s an Xbox exclusive(opposite affect of a PS exclusive) -it’s an RPG -hyped to the point that everyone wanted to enjoy a game that not everyone can. -playing without mods. -it’s feels cathartic to hate something from time to time (but that could really apply to anything), this point is so weak I almost didn’t make it. Personally I feel like most of the hate is because it’s an Xbox exclusive. Although I made the list above in a rush and there are probably more possibilities including that the game is just bad and inferior to every other game. But I wholly disagree with every video I see that tries to make that point. I’ve seen videos comparing it to Cyberpunk and to No Man’s Sky and while both of those games do certain things better Starfield also does certain things better, because they’re all very different games. Even The Outerworlds does a better job than all the aforementioned in some ways but it’s not being compared to Starfield because that would make an Xbox exclusive look good and that would defeat the point. That said I think some people just can’t get into Bethesda RPGs without lots of mods, I remember a ton of my friends have played un-modded Skyrim over the years and hated it despite it being loved and considered an essential game by many. We all have different tastes. I hate WoW and always have. Tried playing with many different friends over the years and never have been able to get into it, even in its prime it felt like a soulless waste of time.
I'm loving the game, got a copy for my little brother too and a friend of mine and all of us have 30+ hours in already and we have barely touched the main story just because of how dynamic and immersive this game is it's incredible and have barely scratched the surface of the base building and ship customization and crafting which I love in games. I come from a space sim background too with hundreds of hours in games like ED/SC/NMS. So I get some of what people wish was in the game. The thing with me is I watched the Bethesda direct and the interviews and podcasts with Todd, I expected a Bethesda RPG in space with exploration and the incredible sandbox RPG they usually craft and Starfield is that. Obviously its not going to be for everyone and that's perfectly fine. What's strange about all this is that there seem to be quite a few very insecure people out there who cant seem to come to terms with the fact that there's a lot of us who actually really like the game. It should be a basic concept to understand. Don't get why this seems to bother some people.
@@vincentdagen1812 SMH that's not what I said lol, I literally said the game isnt for everyone and thats fine. What I said was "there seem to be quite a few very insecure people out there who cant seem to come to terms with the fact that there's a lot of us who actually really like the game" Meaning people trying to insult those who like the game or harassing RUclipsr's for liking the game. That sort of behavior is being insecure that they need everyone around them to validate their tastes, opinions or purchasing decisions. Console fanboys are a perfect example of someone that's insecure. Loser maiden less behavior.
Bethesda's extremely hyped marketing campaign gets gamers a juiced up and their imaginations go insane with mis-interpreting all kinds of stuff. Social media is a double edge sword and there are a lot of trolls that just cannot help themselves but to cry like overpriveleged children when the experience they made themselves believe to expect isn't perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect video game and never will be.
I have played Starfield for 50 hours so far and only had one bug, a bug that resolved itself in 5 seconds. My PC isn't crazy (3060ti gpu and i7-12700k cpu) and the game runs between 50-60 fps on the "high" graphics preset option. I am having a blast with this game and the amount of unhinged negativity I have seen online makes me not even want to associate with the greater gaming community anymore
I've only had one crash, and only one bug that legitimately made me angry. There's a glitch with contraband where if you sell the contraband from a ship that you hijacked, you will forever be seen as having contraband. The only fix is to reload to a save and not sell the contraband. Personally I just dumped it on a planet and left it alone. Other than that, I've been having a blast with the game. It's like if Bethesda decided to make a Mass Effect game, minus the sentient aliens.
"What I hate are people who misuse their intelligence, the ones who get caught up in their own personal beliefs and prejudices and lose sight of the truth. It leads to misunderstandings, followed by discord and then by conflict. All I want is understanding between people. … Humans must learn to apply their intelligence correctly and evolve beyond their current state. People must change, otherwise even if humanity expands into space it will only create new conflicts." - Aeolia Schenberg
I don’t know why the game is getting so much hate, im 9hrs in and just love the game, definitely one of the best games I’ve played in a while and it fully releases tomorrow and im sure there will be more to come and hopefully with the full release more hype as a playstation player myself obviously i own a xbox to play startfield i think they just jealous its only pc and xbox
As a PC player I know that planets are going to be filled with Mods and eventually DLC by Bethesda. So I'm not bothered, just enjoying my time being a space age David Attenborough and seeing what's on each planet.
Lol If people barely make mods for fallout 4 and instead focus on a 14 year old game called fo nv today, what makes you think that we are gonna make content for a worse version of fallout 4 in space called starfailed? The dlc for fallout 4 was trash as well. Bethesda hasn't made a good game since fallout 3.
I mean it actually makes sense for a lot of the planets to not have life on them seeing that it’s like that in real life. There’s only a very small percent of planets that actually have multi cellular life on them
It's a good game. But there's plenty to complain about. My issue with the exploration -- the biggest draw to me in an open-world game, and every prior FO or ES game -- is that you can head out in any direction and just bumble around and find nearly endless things to do. Every time you open/discover a new map area, there's going to be a few hours of content there. This is exactly what made Elden Ring so awesome for me. I'm not saying that they should have tried to populate 1000 worlds. This is the direction they took and it's their baby. We don't live on the timeline where they made the universe smaller so that it felt more dense and inviting. But for me, "1000 planets!" is this year's "16 times the power!" Doesn't change my impression that it's missing what is, for me, the primary attraction to a game like this. The rest of it is great and I'm enjoying it. But I'd be lying by omission if I didn't call this out because it's legit disappointing.
idk what you expected, all of you that thought this would be as limitless as no man's sky clearly did not watch the starfield direct, or any of the subsequent interviews with todd howard
@@spacedaniel492 I didn't watch any of the pre-release marketing content other than clips that appeared in gaming channel videos. But yeah, I kind of expected it to be like Morrowind, Fallout3, Oblvion, Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Kinda. And it's not. Sure, they never promised it would be and I'm not salty or angry or claming I've been misled. I started the comment with "it's a good game". And I didn't mention No Man's Sky. It has the same problem I'm raising here. NMS isn't a game that favors exploration the way Skyrim or Elden Ring do. "Complain" might be a bit strong. But "disappointment" is still what I felt when I found out that it's basically a theme park and not really an "open world" game. A pizza that isn't as good as you thought it would be is still something you're going to enjoy and have a positive experience with.
@@spacedaniel492you don't make a space exploration game without including exploration, thats just pure logic. This game is way too limited considering the fact that space is the definition of freedom and unlimited exploration but here you cant do shit by yourself. Such a waste of potential. They should have done 10 planets on a solary system and give us the entire freedom to explore instead of 1000 useless planets which you can't even land on by yourself 😂
@@spacedaniel492 No I don't think being limitless is the issue here, I think it's not being able to move seamlessly from one point to another while you explore aimlessly, there is a point-and-click loading nature in there. And yeah I get that. I loved Skyrim because I could just head in an uninterrupted straight line and something mysterious was out there, that you might spot it in the distance.
I've personally clocked 50 hours in the game already, and I'm loving every second, from random deep space sea shanties to immature jokes about knowing the way to Uranus. Yes it is a Bethesda game, but starfield is in impo amazing, thanks to using the best parts of Skyrim and fallout 4
Heya Bill! I've dropped about 25hrs into the game already, and I'm blown away.There is so much in this game to the point where we should feel spoiled. It's very good. I dont have enough time and space to express myself on here to how much im enjoying it!
Don’t know if at 100 bucks a pop for AAA games the word spoiled should apply to gamers. The industry is at fault here surely, over promising, under delivering, etc etc. This is a solid BGS title, and that’s the best I can say about it.
@@j_dun4830 I love gaming, BGS games just are not my thing, I’m a Fromsoft, soulslike kind of guy, and enjoy FPSs too. And I don’t think gaslighting gamers and calling them spoilt is right when we pay so much to play AAA titles. Take Remnant2 for example, it’s a ‘double A’ game and cheaper than most AAA titles and absolutely leaves shite like this in the dust. But hey, opinions are like arseh9les, everybody has got one, and if you are enjoying Starfield all power to yah. Doesn’t discount others opinions though, nor should you let anybody else’s impact your enjoyment of the game bro. Have a good day
@@carlkligerman1981 i keep seeing 100 dollars but it costs 70 with one quick google search and if it’s Microsoft exclusive then it’s pretty easy to play without paying that through game pass
You hit this nail on the head. How is it that dames golm received way less hate then Starfield. People jumping on the hate ban wagon for easy clicks is absolutely insane. The reviews for the game do not match up with what the public seems to be saying about the game. I guess people find more fun hating on something instead of actually playing it
I truly don't understand the hate. I love the game. The only thing I see is a game designed by Gen X'ers for a mostly Mellinial and Gen Z audience. I think it's the generation gap.
I am one of the viewers of Worth A Buy channel. I was also disappointed when he mentioned that he disliked the skills are locked behind the perk wall. I agree with you that I would rather spend my time grinding for perks than paying to unlock them. I think Bethesda wants players to be fully immersed in the game, so they designed the perk system in a way that allows players to specialize their characters based on their desired playstyle. For example, if you want to be a debt collector for Galbank, you can upgrade the Persuasive perk to make it easier to persuade or intimidate people when collecting debts. I have played the game for over 30 hours, and I have created multiple characters with different professions and playstyles. I have one character for the main quest, one for the side quests, and the rest for roleplaying. Aside from the performance issues on my PC, one of the things that I enjoy about the game is choosing the parents trait that allows me to interacts with my parents. I know it sounds silly, but I really enjoy the way they communicate with each other and I genuinely feel the parents love for the kids. If you have read the letters from them and talking to them; it is really nice. I also like how the dialogue choices I make can lead to different outcomes, which sometimes surprises me. I know some people might find this cringe, but I enjoy even the smallest things that the game has to offer. This makes the game worth playing for me. Not only that, while I am doing the main quest or side quests, I often find myself getting sidetracked by other things. I also keep scanning, looking, and looting all the interactables, just in case I might miss some good loot or an easter egg. I hope you read this. In case you don't know, you can use the scanning feature to look for loot, so you know if there is anything you can loot in a particular area.
I was disappointed that we couldn't land on the planet or fly our own ship. However, I don't mind because not all game companies can give players everything they want. For example, not every child gets what they want for Christmas. If you want to fly your own ship, you can play No Man's Sky or Star Citizen. We just need to find ways to enjoy the games that we have. For instance, I think Starfield shares the same universe as Cyberpunk 2077. So, when I want to experience both space and ground life, I can switch between the two games. This allows me to have a more immersive roleplaying experience. Ultimately, whether or not a player enjoys a game depends on their expectations. If they go into the game with a negative attitude, they are more likely to hate it.
I totally agree especially about going into a game with a negative attitude. Yeah I knew about scanning for loot but I appreciate you letting me know 🙏
@@igulf9178 I agree 100% with everything you've said. However, I wonder what you mean by saying that we cannot fly our own ship. Sure we can (tho we cannot fly down to a planet seamlessly, but at least to me this was clear from the start. Starfield is no space simulator after all).
Until last week I had never heard of starfield and hadn't touched my xbox in ages. I have already clocked 30 hours gameplay on it. It has totally blown me away and never had this feeling and enjoyment for a game for over 10 years .
0:50 this is why I "hate" starfield I've only continued to play the game because of sunken cost fallacy. It definitely is not worth $70+ The game is really barren, and is a major time sink just from loading screenings, menus, and unskippable animations like docking as an example. I'm level 31 and have only done side content. I've finished two faction story lines and story wise, the first one, that involves the crimson fleet was good, and the second, Ryujin Industries was lack luster because of gameplay made the story not as immersive or cool. Space combat is horrible and janky. Boarding a ship is really cool the first time you do it but in the end its pointless because you don't make profit from selling them even with the Commerce perk maxed out, and they aren't as good as the ones you can buy. Surveying planets is completely RNG on how much time it can take you regarding the planet's Traits. You can literally run around the planet for an hour hoping you find one, then praying you find another unique one and not the same one you discovered. Yes you can level up the skill that scans planets to RNG your way past this...but it doesn't DO ANYTHING except make mission board missions for finding traits easier to complete. Gunplay/AI/Combat is extremely upsetting that its this horrible in 2023. Enemies do not do anything challenging or special regardless of difficulty. Saying "its a Bethesda game" is not a valid excuse. The combat skill tree is pointless because you'll be able to kill enemies with ease and is the tree where you should not sink any points in. Ship combat is literally the AI jousting you, flying away, and repeating that over and over. All of these critiques don't even mention the horrible performance. i9 12900k @ 5.1GHZ, 4090, 32GB of ram at 3800 and the frame rates along with frame drops are ludicrous regardless of settings. Hopefully the Main quest line makes up for all of this and im praying that it does. Game seems half baked, 6.5/10 imo.
The game is free on gamepass. I play on the series x and have had little to no frame drops, load times are literally seconds, so it doesn't even bother me. You can just fast travel to where you wanna go instead of sitting through a landing animation. The higher the tier of a ship is, the more it sells for, I've literally sold ships for 20k+ with no points into commerce. For planet traits, just look for life signs, most of the time that's where you can scan for the trait of that planet, if you don't see any, land somewhere else on that planet. If it's so easy, play on a harder difficulty, regardless I find the combat rather fun, instead of sneaking around and one tapping people because of sneak damage multiplier, I like to go in guns blazing using the huge array of weapons they have in the game. Voice acting in the game is actually the best to date, almost every character has their own VA. Play the main quests, that's where it gets even better.
I judge games based on my own personal enjoyment. I like this game a lot. I don't know how I would compare it to other BGS games that I love yet, because I haven't finished the main story.
A lot of people I’m guessing are ps fan boys who are pissed that it didn’t come out on their console 🤷🏻♂️,I’ve been to 10 planets so far and landed in several locations on each planet and have always come across several things going on not once have I landed and found nothing! End of the day I’m really enjoying it and really couldn’t give a 💩 what others think. And wait till the modders get hold of it I’m excited to see what they come up with!
What do you think of it almost a year later? I still love the game (despite some things I don’t like but aren’t game breakers for me) and agree that especially early on it was being review bombed to oblivion by the same people who just complain about a game not being exactly what they thought it would be. I feel ever since I started playing Bethesda games, fallout 4 being my first one, whenever I would look up stuff on RUclips or google people were just negative about it and how it wasn’t exactly like New Vegas, and then once Fallout 76 came out and then the show came out everyone went back to playing it and acted like they didn’t complain when it initially released (also before anyone comes at me in the comments it had a 6/10 and now has a 9/10) Some of the complaints you mentioned are the most annoying to hear: Like the systems are light years away from each other, yet people expect to fly between planets and systems without fast traveling. And they’re probably the same people complaining that in No man’s sky it takes forever to explore anything. Planets and moons being barren even though they have resources to mine and collect which allow for crafting and credits for selling them. You can set up outpost almost anywhere unlike the settlements in fallout 4. The people complaining about procedural generation for planets would be the same people complaining that the planets and moons surfaces are not thoroughly designed if they were done by hand and that the planets were all the exact same cookie cutter surfaces with different colors and materials I haven’t even tried ng+ since I still haven’t finished the game since I got sidetracked just doing side quests or just plain exploring the systems and then got sidetracked even more playing Fallout 4 after the show came out. I think a 7/10 was fair when this video came out and would say it is fair almost a year later, but could improve in my mind with potential updates and expansions.
I was so confused about the state of the game when people where saying diablo 4 was better than starfield, but when i was looking at gameplay seemed very good
People need to stop expecting so much, that’s the problem because most games under deliver on their promises in modern gaming. This is the best AAA game I’ve played in months
Everyone I know that owns it, loves it. Admittedly, the intro & first few hours really plod along, but once you learn the systems & mechanics, it’s hard to stop playing.
My problem is the optimization, the missing AI of unnamed npcs especially new Atlantis npcs and loading screens, getting around planet to planet is not just one loading screen its multiple fades to black. Getting to ship loading screen, flying off to space loading screen, travelling to planet loading screen, landing to planet loading screen, getting off your ship loading screen, like I don't have a problem if it is just 1 long loading screen but multiple loading screens in less than 30 seconds, why.
Personally I'm having a great time with it. Just love the fact that I can open the game with the intentions of doing a certain quest, then get distracted and 4 hours later suddenly remember - oh shit was supposed to be doing that quest lol
Starfield is Quest Overload set to 11... Dude anytime you go anywhere, quest, here some quests for your quests. Dawg I heard you like quests, while you getting 100 Quests. 😂
Mate, this review is so on point. I couldn’t agree more with every single point you raised, including the abomination that is the worth a buy review. Some people are never happy, and I don’t understand the mediocre reviews from IGN and GameSpot. If more people knew how to make games there wouldn’t be such a huge amount of know it all reviewers out there that don’t have a fucking clue about what they are talking about and it angers me that so many people will not get to even try this game because they do believe the reviewers know what they are talking about.
It's not Starfield getting so many hate but actually all those butthurt Trashtuber got exposed now for being PS ponies aka PS shills. They can't stop talking crap about Starfield which is dumb and cringe !!!
Yeah I normally like worth a buy for his review style, but his review of starfield was absolutely awful. I've never disagreed with him more than I did on that video.
100% True. I never played Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and of course, No Man's Sky. All because of the f*cking negative rewiews. I swear to god this is a true story. I didn't end up playing any of those games until about 18 months after each release because I am so stupid for believing the negative hype. I finally got this one statement through my head and I will never read another game review until I've played the game at least 30+ hours, then I will read. So yeah you're 100% correct, and this is the statement I realized is absolute truth: "The more a game is hyped, the more hate it will receive."
In my opinion a big part of that hate for Starfield is that it’s not on PS5, Sony fanboys are literally having a meltdown over it. What ruins great games are really high expectations from gamers, if it doesn’t meet their expectations it’s a bad game for them.
They are a really small minority IMO. I'm a PC guy but the quality of Playstation games in the past years blew Xbox games out of the water. Starfield included.
with platforms like tiktok, promiting ADHD and similar disorders at a scary exponential rate, more people have the tendency to do the grave mistake of judging the book by its cover or not playing the entire game with neutral expectation and a neutral mindset, leading to WAY TOO QUICK judgement and overly high expectations. this and next generation kids are already lost! proper efforts in passion projects and REAL Art being less and less valued ... i will never stop and always resume playing a game the same way i always played them 10 or 15 years ago. all these 5 year old haters are doing is make the devs throw the towel and stop making games all together because you cant please these spoiled princesses anymore ... what you said so far in the video is common goddamn human sense, it should go without saying!!!! thank you for the video, i agree with everything
Man you said everything I felt about this game. For a second I thought "Maybe i'm easy and i'm just the odd one out? Because i love it?" But thank you for putting a stop to that thought in my head. Appreciate it.
I hate loading screens, i hate the combat, i hate the story, i hate the exploration, i hate that we cant go on a gas giant, i hate that we cant make alien characters, i hate the there's pronouns, i hate that we have a silence protagonists, i hate the graphics, i hate the we cant walk around the whole entire planet, i hate that we have no vehicles, i hate the we cant break down or gear for resources, and most of all i hate the it not on playstation. This is all the complaints i here for this game is absolutely ridiculous!!!
Empty planets is the stupidest argument ever lol. I think that the game is fantastic. I agree with your 9/10 rating and I'm wayyy further than you. I'd argue it gets even better when you start finding juicy starships getting really deep into starship customisation. 1. Gunplay - Good variety of guns. Gunplay isn't cutting edge but it's very good. Every gun feels different 8/10 2. Story - 7/10. It's quite predictable 3. Character customisation - 10/10 . It's really good. 4. Skill diversity - 10/10. Every skill tree feels impactful 5. Cities - Feels like a city in space. 10/10 6. UI - 5/10 . Serious improvements in ship builders, outpost builder and inventory management needed . City maps also needed . It's actually really solid and fun .
More casuals getting into the console war. They're used to playing a handful of linear but polished PS exclusives. No innovation. Just a 30hr experience. The facts and figures tell the truth. Early access numbers online was 234,000 players. Half the hate is bitter Sony fans that don't want Xbox to enjoy great exclusives. People on that train love whipping each other up into a frenzy about how "terrible" Starfield is. When people are still playing this in 5 years time, it will be a testament to good the game is.
I seen a guy the other day on steam who had put 200 hrs in the game and gave it a terribly bad review. Like the dude just spent a literal week of his life on the game, buts it's sucks? Come on man this shit is frustrating. Cause I know how good the game is.
The problem I have with the skill tree is that there are very important things that are locked to where you play most of the game without even getting to fully experience the game.
New Game Plus. They way they structured the game, new game plus is the best route and where you'll actually get to fully experience , not just because skills carry over, but because NG+ actually adds things to the experience. Alternatively, they hyped up the end game as well, I think due to the sheer amount of content left over after the main story idk I haven't beaten the game yet. I'm not really caring about the crafting or anything like that until after I complete the main game. Yeah, I go off the best path every so often but NG+ is when you'll really have the room to open up in the roleplay category bc you'll have a little less to do in regards to getting your character where you need it.
This is at its core a good game it does have 2 annoying issues like your a.i team m8 blocking the door or standing in front of you when shooting. There is a mission I have come across where people are in a locked infirmary and you have to clear out the spacers every one is dead and when you try to open the door it tells you to kill all the spacers even though all are dead.. The world's that are empty are one so you can build outposts and two so you can explore . It's taken me a while to get use to this game as a fan of no man's sky I really do like this game having played since early realise I Highly recommend it if you want a fun space game
Honestly the new game plus feature has completely turned me off from wanting to finish my original playthrough as what's the point I may as well just rush all 10 endings so what's the point??
I'm installing Starfield on my Series S as I type this. Being a big space nerd this is my kinda game. Hoping it'l bring back all the memories of the old SW Battlefield games 😁
I love this game. Depending on how good it continues to be , it could be my favorite game ever , not sure yet lol. Definitely one of the best though. I think what they can add to it aswell can keep it alive and amazing for so long.
Crazy how one of the best games I’ve ever played is so hated. I like cyberpunk too and people hate that as well. But then Fortnite and warzone stay towards the top and I hate em both. Hm I guess I’m just an odd duck
The main thing to me is the AI and spending like half an hour constantly dealing with inventory but the story and gunplay seems fun and I don't even like space games
lol - inventory dealing is a self imposed problem - stop picking shit up or be weak willed and keep doing what is comfortable for you. i just started my 3rd character, pirate character and got 2 ships, 50k in credits before i landed to talk to sarah. did not pick up a damn thing - i literally blew shit up and stole ships... been buying my epics.
@@asianartist1 I hear what your saying and I'm glad you enjoy the game the way you do but if it's revolved around loot and there's limits on how much you can carry and even limits to what you can store it just feels like a pain like in most loot games you can carry unlimited loot or they make you able to carry tons of loot like why can't they make the ship storage or base inventory just much bigger especially when you are expected to farm materials that are heavy asf and weigh you down
I approach all games now with the mentality of just ignoring negative yt videos. Not clicking that baited thumbnail and avoiding that frustration of the usual internet shite baggage that always follows a hyped game. Play it for myself and decide. Search out the yt guides, ignore the negativity, curing the frustration.
Why is this game receiving so much hate? Well, why did Hogwarts get so much hate? Why do Game X or Y or Z get hate? These days, it seems no game release can escape SOME levels of hate or controversy. Twitter-twats who are deeply, deeply unhappy in their personal lives, lashing out at anything and everything they see; they wanna bring the world down to their level. And game journos recognize a good opportunity for rage-baiting, hate-baiting, click-baiting when they see one. Keep up the great work, my man. Some of your Remnant 2 guide videos really helped me out a ton.
Hogwarts was more due to outside issues like JK Rowling Trans issue. I don't recall exactly what she said but I do recall reading it at some point and thinking that's it? So as a backlash to the Backlash it got way more support than it might have got otherwise
I have 20 hours in Starfield so far. Personally, I think the game is a lot of fun and really opens up when doing the story side quests. However, I haven't found the main quest to be interesting yet, Bugthesda struck again with typical AI pathing and legacy bugs, and the first 10 hours are slower than any Bethesda RPG. Imo it's still a great experience thatI can't fully judge until I invest another 100 hours into it. Feeling like an 8/10 game so far, it was worth the pre-order.
Think a lot of the noise is coming from PS users and a lesser extent nvidia users (it's one of those things, if you're happily enjoying the game then you're not on social media praising the game because you're busy playing it, while the 'not gots' and 'haters' make all the noise), I've only played it for 5 or so hours but at no point has it made me go 'wow' whereas I have been (only slightly) disappointed by a couple of things, imo NMS does space travel and exploration a lot better (and the landing on planets), NPC combat is weak (heard it gets better later), PC controls aren't great (yes you can rebind them, but out the box they're not great) and neither is performance, no FOV slider on a PC game/port is a big wtf moment too. Personally I'm kinda 50/50 on the game, it's done nothing to really stand out to me but at the same time its done nothing especially wrong, I'm no reviewer but right now I'd give it 8/10 at a stretch... not a single crash tho and bugs seem pretty minimal, certainly nothing game breaking (so far). Anyone giving lower than a 7 are crazy, especially considering the state of current and recent 'AAA' titles, remember (I know it's a different genre) but reviewers were giving the likes of Bf2042 perfect and near perfect scores at its release, 2042 barely functioned...
The VAST majority of hate is coming from pissed off Sony fanboys. I literally read one guy blasting it because "there isn't even an animation of your ship taking off". Despite the fact that you literally see this everytime you take off. He got ratioed into oblivion for clearly not playing the game and another guy rated it 5/10 because he didnt like the loading screen. Just stupidity like this.
Nothing to do with hype, I downloaded it, played it, and as soon as I realized how boring flying a clunky spaceship is I quit. If I wanted to spend countless hours looking at stars flying by I'd re-download the old Microsoft Screensaver. To think they put off potentially great games with an established fan base (ES6 AND Fallout 5) for this is sad. And I'm 36, there's a decent chance I may not live tonsee Fallout 5. Like I said, sad. Seems like the better our technology gets, the worse our performance is. We can design and bring to life virtual worlds so much faster and at such a higher quality than ever in gaming history and developers instead are taking longer and longer to put out content. In some instances instances, literally decades. RIP GAMING.
Honestly having a blast so many different ways to play the game and role play as well. I reallllllllly hope a co-op for space exploration and recourse collection opens up in the future so I can enjoy this with my homies. First XBox title I’ve ever played and I can honestly say it’s going to extremely difficult to put the Xbox X controller down to play my ps5. Hooked!!!
there's absolutely nothing wrong with Starfield im playin it on my series s that people from sony said the game will burn and crash my system just for playing it on the series s just because of how large the game is and that amount bugs it has I haven't come across not one bug except the big bugs I killed in a video from the Starfield game
My only issues are the lack of shoulder swap and despite having maxed Weightlifting, my inventory is always full. Inventory management needs a rework! Oh and 9/10 is about right!
@@DanteKurosaki I know that, but if I’m exploring a world I cannot keep going back to my ship to drop stuff off. Once my mule is full and I’m full I have to micromanage every pickup!
I think a huge problem people do now adays is comparing games to other games. I went into this game a clean slate. No expectations, spoilers or anything. Alot of people that are complaining compared it to much to No mans sky, or fallout 4 or even older games like the elder scrolls games. Thats where you went wrong. Its none of those games so stop comparing. Trust me you will enjoy games alot more if you do this. 😅
I have never done that and I tend to like/love the games I play if they meet my interests. People who play other games to remind them of other games are dumb imo
Exactly. A lot of people came into this expecting No Man's Sky, or Elite Dangerous, just because it's a space game. But that's just not what Bethesda does
On the one hand, people being disappointed that it's not some other game remade need to get a grip. On the other hand: comparing it to other recent games I've played which had frikkin HDR controls *so I could actually see what's going on* doesn't seem unreasonable in 2023. That's not the kind of detail you can easily discover is missing -or see its impact - until you've bought the game, either. And on this same side of the coin: this game is just nowhere near as engaging as the last 2 games I've played (Armoured Core 6 and Remnant 2) - and maybe it's just the terrible lighting making me squint when I look at it, but 3 times now I've put the controller down after no more than an hour, having run out of motivation.
@@geroffmilan3328 Armoured core and rememnt are more linear and focused on pushing you towards action, kinda hard to get bored when the game is forcing you to pay attention or you die.
How ever good a game is, the developers are always gona get flack when they don't deliver what they promise. People forget that Starfield is a first Bethesda game for a lot of gamers and they had no previous knowledge of the style. If you went purely off the hype and trailers then you'd probably be in the camp of disappointment too.
"PLAY THE GAME YOURSELF! The game is fantastic! Don't let envy, hatred, and haters deter you. It's an excellent game that exudes Bethesda's essence. There are bugs, but 95% of them add extra fun to the game. This is an ultimate game that only gets better with updates, mods, and DLCs. Dare to try it. Give yourself and the game time!"
Well...first of all...this is about personal pref right? So whatever i gonna say here is not to bully anyone ok? I've play it on PC and my honest thoughts about it: It's a really bad game! And i will tell why: 1. Performance: There is no reason why this game has such a bad performance and i'm talking about all the platforms PC and consoles. Why should anyone pay o lot of money for a so called "next gen" console or graphics card, just to play at 30 FPS? I wouldn't complain here if it was absolutely stunning in terms of visuals, but it's not! Look at the NPC'S details, the einvironment...everything looks so bad. There have been many games in the past that did an amazing job. 2. Gameplay: Apart from the quests, there is simply not much you can do! The movement feels really weird, gunplay sucks, the menu is pathetic, the sounds (pew pew), bugs and stupid A.I.. This launch is way worse then Cyberpunk 2077. So why is everybody defending this? 3. Freedom? Where is the freedom to do everything and explore many plantes? I can't! That's it. It's a 70 to 100 Dollar/Euro expensive Screensaver! Loadingscreens for everything. Why? You can't even fly! You are in a fixed sandbox without moving a single mile! But hey,,,press x on you're on a planet lightyears away. Sorry to my bad english...not a native speaker. But tell me why this is a good game! Give me a reason, just one!
@@Born2Game well....that's a point. But i think it's nothing like"special" to the gaming world. Not something new tbh. But hey....when it's fun, it's fun...or it doesn't just work
The main problem is people being so used to messed up game 's launch that now that a game launched properly, they can't accept it. Ahd haters will always be haters. I agree with your opinion. I don't like RPG in general, but by the videos I watched, I want to try it at least. Awesome content as always, Bill. Great work. Keep it like this. Real and honest. No bull... Cheers!!!
@@Voodoo_S3 I won't. Tomorrow I will be able to try it. Irt seems a lot of fun. We can take our time and play at our own pace. No microtransactions schemes, no battlepass, no crap. I look forward to it!
Lol, most people seem to be absolutely loving Starfield, and the hate is coming from a vocal minority..... the majority of which seem to be Playstation fanboys..... who'da thunk it? ;)
I like the game but the things I don't like is removing dismemberment and blood, when you remove armour it's still on the body and exploration could be better. Im not expecting every planet to be a huge loot fest. But even the ones that have stuff on to explore it just feels like a waste if time still. Maybe add some blue prints for ship parts, outposts or something. Some big rewards and they could be on random planets so you can't just look up a guide to find them.
i bought it and sold it within 8hrs, id say a 7 out 10 is being kind. 9 and 10s are for games like RD2, FF7, FF8. And the you didnt play it enough excuse is ridiculous, i dont need 80 hrs to tell you superman for n64 is terrible, you can tell a game is boring or bad within a hour.
Honestly the biggest problem I have with Starfield is no stealth melee kill animations it might seem trivial but it's the play style I love has been for Skyrim and Fallout 4 I know it's not related but that was a big problem I had with cyberpunk also
Remember Outer Worlds? Remember when it didn't even have space exploration, despite having a space ship and being able to transport to other planets and ships? Nobody hated on that game. Bethesda wanted to do a bit more, and I think it's great. I'd rather fast travel everywhere so I can, you know, actually PLAY the game. Being able to land anywhere on a planet, even if it's a randomly generated 1500m x 1500m map (which is still pretty freaking big), is pretty cool. It works well. Space combat is nice. I can do trading in this game. There's tons of discoverable content, which is what made Oblivion and Skyrim so great. I can't wait to see what fans of this game do to it with mods, it'll be nuts, I'm sure. (I'm hoping for a vehicles mod sooner than later.) The only people hating on this game are cry babies. These are the same people, who after putting an hour or two into the game, would use the fast travel features ANYWAYS. They were just mad they couldn't fly to the planet and land on it like they can in Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky. They'll get over it.
You have literally reached into my head and made a video from all my thoughts. Thank you! I can't appreciate it more. We got a Bethesda title!! We got exactly what we asked for!! Haters gonna hate.
I think the game is hated because what the game was presented as and what we got aren't exactly alike, the way it was promoted was vague and unclear, people feel lied to, another thing is the time it took to develop isn't reflected in what we see, some might feel disappointed, which can become twisted into hate and derision. At no point was the game presented as just another Bethesda game but just in space, a game lacking a lot of polish and held back by the dated engine. Instead of a galaxy spanning sci-fi adventure you have a loading screen after loading screen, looter shooter with shallow RPG elements. There's no denying theres fun to be had but the game is still mediocre when after so long in development it could've been far more than was was delivered
The game developers deserve the backlash they received for this disappointing game. They hyped up the game with unrealistic promises and failed to deliver on them. The game is set in outer space, but it offers little to no exploration or variety. It is a bland and boring experience that does not capture the wonder and excitement of space travel. The game is also unnecessarily long, which seems like a greedy attempt to make more money from the consumers by selling them an unfinished product. The game may have some fun moments, but it is ultimately a mediocre and repetitive example of Bethesda’s usual formula.
These days, it seems like people are quick to nitpick and criticize anything, even when a new game is actually quite good overall. This mindset of finding flaws and creating drama is harmful to everyone's mental health and is unfortunately quite addictive, driving more clicks and engagement. If someone doesn't enjoy something, why can't they simply move on to the next thing? Why does everyone think everything should cater to their specific preferences? Sometimes, the world doesn't need to change for you; instead, you might need to adapt to the world. If you're content with yourself, there's no need to play every single game that comes out. In essence, it's like watching TV. If you don't like what's on channel 1, just grab the remote and switch to the next channel. However, in today's world, it often feels like everyone is so self-centered and focused on "me, me, I, I," which isn't a healthy attitude. Let's all try to be more open-minded and accepting of different experiences and opinions. If you dont like Starfield MOVE ON WITH UR LIFE ! if you like and and wish to give Constructive criticism, there is a healthy and good way to say it. Sorry for the long rant and thank you for the video 😅
@@godphoenix66xMost gamers or most people in general have devolved into a bunch of entitled, tribalistic, attention seeking Karens and they know the best way to get the most attention is to be negative because apparently negative sells nowadays. It's a damn shame. So much for being an independent individual forming their own thoughts instead of copying and pasting their favorite youtuber's thoughts or whatever the new bandwagon is currently.
The problem The internet and social media. Everyone’s thoughts and opinions are always there now. Before the 2000’s you didn’t hear everyone’s opinion and everyone minded thier own business
The game was mid for me. I think it will be better in a year or more. 18 hours and I was not having a good time. Refunded for now. Why? Constantly in the menus. No map The story is lazy and boring Combat was good at first, then got boring Companions uninteresting and buggy Load screens/Black Screens for everything NPCs are hideous and lifeless item management cumbersome Positives The game looked pretty good graphically at times.
Starfield plays like Fallout 4 which I liked a lot. I even like Fallout 76 in it's current state. So yeah, enjoying every minute so far. DLSS3 Mod and more already available. Everyone knows that Bethesda games thrive over time. Happy that this is not a single player Star Citizen clone. God forbid I have to travel an hour to a planet watching Pornhub in the meantime...thanks but no thanks.
It could better but ive really enjoyed playing so far. Ship building, base building, exploration… if they fix no bugs and keep expanding on these three things i will be perfectly happy
I'm not a fan of it. Watched some play on RUclips. Characters aren't that well done. Skyrim LE looked better. Witcher 3 is far superior. They just looked old, when did they start making Starfield? That could explain it. (It took the creators almost 25 years to plan the games and then put them into pieces. ) And yep, I'm not a fan of Bethesda. But I don't think my criticism is out of line. It may have been coloured by my playing Horizon Zero Dawn, or The Witcher 3 a lot recently. Against the character graphic in them it's not in the race. I looked at it to see what it was like. Out of curiosity. But not my thing. From what I saw I wouldn't go 9 out of 10. If you can send me your glasses, I'd like to check them out to see if it's them. You do seem to be somewhat defensive on their behalf. Which could be colouring your viewpoint? What matter is you enjoy it that's enough. You don't have to enjoy it for everyone else. They can do that on their own. 🙂 I'd be more inclined to give it a 5 out of 10. But to give you something to hang your hat on. I'd give Skyrim LE a 9 out of 10 today. It's modded, to my satisfaction. So, a wee way from standard. And I've been playing it for years. I'm more inclined to play Skyrim. But I like that style. Not really into modern as my ideal, fantasy worlds. And Starfield is just another shooter. But each to their own. There'll be more than a few who will look at what I've written and want to have a chunder. 🙂 We know the destination, its the journey that's the mystery. Have fun and make it worthwhile.
I guess we were too harsh on cyberpunk 2077. Dumb AI, bugs and glitches, dated formula and a bunch of lies and overpromises. Well its bethesda so they should get a pass right?
No company gets a pass. Bethesda have delivered a great game regardless of what they said before launch. If it was a bad game then they would deserve all the hate
Things are locked behind skill trees because people have been complaining to Bethesda for years that Skyrim and Fallout 4's skill systems were too streamlined and casual. This is the thanks Bethesda gets for listening to fans, I guess.
68 hours in and it feels like the game is just starting to rank up speed. I'm lvl20 currently. There is a insane amount of content. Worth every penny. Also, not a single crash. This is on Series-X, haven't tried PC-version yet.
1. Sony fanboys praying it would be a fail. 2. It genuinely is disappointing from a visuals and mechanics point of view. As long as fans of this genre are happy then that's all that matters. I'll give it a go later, but I suspect I'll be back to NMS on VR, as VR is where I'm at for now.
To me it looks like a great game not quite what I hoped for but decent. Worth a buy said what he didn’t like was the lack of immersion and exploration especially as you can just fast travel everywhere basically making your ship void. BGS games were built on exploring and finding things new by chance and feels like that’s lost in starfield. My main concern from the criticism is that is from people who haven’t played the game and just want to turn it into another redfall for ridicule.
@@Born2GameYou absolutely do have to use fast travel and go through multiple loading screens. Even if you head to the lodge after a mission (Black Screen) talk to a boring NPC, head back out (Black Screen), run to the train (Cut scene), run through a buggy frame rate drop to the ship bypassing all the eyeballing NPCs 👁️👄👁️, now you’ve ran to your ship to load yet another (Black Screen), go to your cock pit to sit down, and load a (cut scene) by jumping into space. Then what.. are you going to fly to the planet… no. You will have to load another (Cut scene) into a warp. Which get this…Loads another (Cut scene) of the ship landing. Oh it’s gets better, you then get up to run to the exit of your ship to go through another (Black Screen). When I actually type it out no wonder it felt like a chore. Not to mention the crappy UI of playing through the menus or having to warp multiple times because you haven’t discovered a clear path.
The problems with Starfield: TTK is too long on the ground (time to kill), loading screens should be replaced with cutscenes (or even better have small load levels like the elevator in Cyberpunk 2077 that loads all the the ground stuff while inside it), not enough traits and bitchy Playstation fans! Imagine a game where you can build spacecraft, build bases, own in city property, visit 3 massive cities and multiple other hand created areas, visit a the planets in the solar system and have the character of them be fairly accurate etc. etc. etc. Loading screens are a really small price to pay.
The loading screen is such BS. Days before early access I finished Persona 5 and that was a fast travel Jrpg with areas I could in 30 seconds.. 😅 and I liked that game well enough, but overrated for what it was but a cool adventure nonetheless and Starfield offers vastly more content than Persona 5 does and yet clowns says Fast travel simulator as if that's somehow a Critical flaw, when the areas you fast travel to are larger than the entire World areas of Persona 5 just in one Planet tile.
Awesome video! I am loving and enjoying this game with its ups and downs. No one and nothing is perfect! It is always very sad to me to hear ppl complain about everything. Sucks for them since they won't be enjoying the game while we are having the time of our lives lol ❤
It's not that starfield is good or bad that's the problem. People just hate Bethesda SO much they will never let their ego say the game is good. On TikTok alone I've seen people hate the game purely because it's Bethesda and others saying they're gonna mass down vote it because it's Bethesda. As good or bad as Bethesda is they can never win because of this mob mentality. I fully expect sadly that it'll be mostly negative when steam reviews come in.
I don't understand why everyone is jumping on the hate train. I'm 10+ hours in and I really like it! I completely agree with the WAB comment, I was actually disgusted by how he hammered the game.
Reviews are just an opinion but it’s annoying when people mention stupid shit in them good or bad, when they start making stuff up or mentioning something because they feel others want to hear it they lose all credibility
Im still glad i went in with this mind set "it wont be the second coming of christ, but it will be fun". , and guees who is having fun. Hell, thats not to say there are no issues, there are, im just glad i didnt over hype myself like everyone else did.
When I was a kid, I would play super mario 64 and pokemon stadium, and thought those games were amazing. I live in the future now; pretty much everything amazes me.
Nah....it's mediocre, honestly a step backwards. I mean no mini map or cover in the city? Even GTA 5 has cover, also you specialize in laser weapons but there are only 2 weapons? C'mon its unfinished
The more something is hyped, the more hate it receives. The more people are excited about something, the more it annoys other that hate seeing people be happy. Lots of other worst games didn’t get this much hate. This is 2 reasons among many.
Yeah I've ignored the hype and the presumed rumours that content creators have come out with.
Making my own opinion is better. Tbh it's a good game.
Facts, also people just wanted this game to flop. But it does seem like hype or maybe even Bethesda over sold it. Not sure about Bethesda themselves as i didn’t follow the marketing.
Agreed. It's something I've been observing for a long time.
That a lie it's not about the hype, it's the fact that it's an Xbox games.
@@Chad4401 I feel like thats is true to an extent some Sony fans or plain old Xbox haters just hate the game because its MS. But that don’t excuse the fact that hype and overselling can piss people off. I know some people who were anticipating this game didn’t expect you to not be able to walk the planets in a full loop.
I’m not saying this next part to hate at all and I’ve only watched gameplay and reviews but I’m not seeing anything this game does to push the next gen hardware which at the very least this game should be doing. Now if it does then thats dope and I’d like to know examples but I’m just not seeing it. That doesn’t mean the game is bad because it actually looks pretty fun.
I really don't get that hate at all, some people definitely have valid points about certain things like the inventory, fast travel menus etc but overall Bethesda delivered their usual formula in a huge semi open universe setting. You can definitely tell effort went into the game and maybe with hindsight they might say they were a touch too ambitious. I look forward to seeing what they do with the game moving forwards 👍
well said, game design is tricky and there's special touch that needs to be applied. it makes a lot of people happy in different ways we all appreciate in some form. if you can't find something to enjoy about the game - perhaps now it's time to decide a new genre to play... only billions of games to choose from. any of them more fun than bitching about a single player game. :D
2023 and the game still uses loading screens for every action. The story is terrible the combat is the same bethesda nonsense.
@@marktorres6385 I don't disagree on the loading screens they should have maybe found a way to make them less immersion breaking. I like some aspects of the story but I think it gets silly towards the end in the final acts. The combat is a lot better than F4 imo kinda reminds me of borderlands combat now.
@@marktorres6385The areas loaded are huge though. I jumped off my penthouses's balcony and went parkouring the roofs of new atlantis. Everything was there. The whole city, all npcs doing their stuff, my ship plus a wide area surrounding new atlantis with several pois to explore. No loading screens at all. I can see why they had to make some trade-offs like having a load screen for some building's interior. I don't know.i somewhat understand the complaints about the loading stuff, but it's a little blown out of proportion imo.
Yep, like Todd said it's a Bethesda RPG through and through, this game is HUGE.
Every single Bethesda title you had a loading screen for every damn doors, but we're in 2023 and people like to complain and cry about everything to get more views and popularity.
Thanks for speaking out about this. I tried to ignore it all and enjoy the game but it’s annoying knowing that the devs put so much time into this game.
You’re welcome 👍

@@skytommy_main go play star citizen bro

Starfield _very quickly_ became my favorite game...and it's because I _got into it_ very quickly. It's not meant to be played like every other Bethesda game, and a lot of the hate seems to be coming from long-time Bethesda fans who went in with expectations which would _never_ be met. I learned from CP2077 and Stray; I avoided the hype as much as I could and went in clean and as unbiased as possible...and I'm finding it hard to stop playing.
I find the planets to be beautifully rendered, the environmental affects [i]really[/i] add something to it, and it's just a very pretty game in general. Combat is very fun and movie-like. The music has that "2001: A Space Odyssey", wonder-of-space vibe that fits perfectly. The alien life isn't just the same five dinosaurs on every planet...though the plants could use more variety. And all of the building options! Yes, outposts could use a few more bits and pieces, like interior walls and doors, but _still._
It's one of the _prettiest_ games I've ever seen.
And you're so right that people are spoiled. So many of the complaints stem from _comparisons_ to other games.
Taken on its own terms, Starfield is so much fun.
Starfield was a beautiful experience. Traversing barren moons and planets, jumping between systems, everything from the sounds to the music instilled a sense of wonder. It definitely felt like a spiritual successor to Interstellar at the beginning. The game offered a ton to dig into: faction missions, thrilling fights, diverse character builds, crafting, ship customization, outposts - you name it. Honestly, it's the first game in years that had me hooked for 12 hours straight. It's baffling how someone could call it a 'bad' game after 200 hours! The fact you got over 60 hours yourself speaks volumes about your experience. There's no way you could invest that much time in a truly awful game
I think it’s multiple factors.
-It’s a Bethesda game
-it’s an Xbox exclusive(opposite affect of a PS exclusive)
-it’s an RPG
-hyped to the point that everyone wanted to enjoy a game that not everyone can.
-playing without mods.
-it’s feels cathartic to hate something from time to time (but that could really apply to anything), this point is so weak I almost didn’t make it.
Personally I feel like most of the hate is because it’s an Xbox exclusive. Although I made the list above in a rush and there are probably more possibilities including that the game is just bad and inferior to every other game. But I wholly disagree with every video I see that tries to make that point. I’ve seen videos comparing it to Cyberpunk and to No Man’s Sky and while both of those games do certain things better Starfield also does certain things better, because they’re all very different games. Even The Outerworlds does a better job than all the aforementioned in some ways but it’s not being compared to Starfield because that would make an Xbox exclusive look good and that would defeat the point.
That said I think some people just can’t get into Bethesda RPGs without lots of mods, I remember a ton of my friends have played un-modded Skyrim over the years and hated it despite it being loved and considered an essential game by many.
We all have different tastes. I hate WoW and always have. Tried playing with many different friends over the years and never have been able to get into it, even in its prime it felt like a soulless waste of time.
I'm loving the game, got a copy for my little brother too and a friend of mine and all of us have 30+ hours in already and we have barely touched the main story just because of how dynamic and immersive this game is it's incredible and have barely scratched the surface of the base building and ship customization and crafting which I love in games. I come from a space sim background too with hundreds of hours in games like ED/SC/NMS. So I get some of what people wish was in the game. The thing with me is I watched the Bethesda direct and the interviews and podcasts with Todd, I expected a Bethesda RPG in space with exploration and the incredible sandbox RPG they usually craft and Starfield is that. Obviously its not going to be for everyone and that's perfectly fine. What's strange about all this is that there seem to be quite a few very insecure people out there who cant seem to come to terms with the fact that there's a lot of us who actually really like the game. It should be a basic concept to understand. Don't get why this seems to bother some people.
So because people don't like something they're now insecure? Bahahahahahaha
@@vincentdagen1812 SMH that's not what I said lol, I literally said the game isnt for everyone and thats fine. What I said was "there seem to be quite a few very insecure people out there who cant seem to come to terms with the fact that there's a lot of us who actually really like the game"
Meaning people trying to insult those who like the game or harassing RUclipsr's for liking the game.
That sort of behavior is being insecure that they need everyone around them to validate their tastes, opinions or purchasing decisions. Console fanboys are a perfect example of someone that's insecure. Loser maiden less behavior.
Bethesda's extremely hyped marketing campaign gets gamers a juiced up and their imaginations go insane with mis-interpreting all kinds of stuff. Social media is a double edge sword and there are a lot of trolls that just cannot help themselves but to cry like overpriveleged children when the experience they made themselves believe to expect isn't perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect video game and never will be.
I have played Starfield for 50 hours so far and only had one bug, a bug that resolved itself in 5 seconds. My PC isn't crazy (3060ti gpu and i7-12700k cpu) and the game runs between 50-60 fps on the "high" graphics preset option. I am having a blast with this game and the amount of unhinged negativity I have seen online makes me not even want to associate with the greater gaming community anymore
You and I both my friend. It’s insane how the console wars have gotten crazier. I thought we left this behind with ps2 era.
I've only had one crash, and only one bug that legitimately made me angry. There's a glitch with contraband where if you sell the contraband from a ship that you hijacked, you will forever be seen as having contraband. The only fix is to reload to a save and not sell the contraband. Personally I just dumped it on a planet and left it alone. Other than that, I've been having a blast with the game. It's like if Bethesda decided to make a Mass Effect game, minus the sentient aliens.
"What I hate are people who misuse their intelligence, the ones who get caught up in their own personal beliefs and prejudices and lose sight of the truth. It leads to misunderstandings, followed by discord and then by conflict. All I want is understanding between people. … Humans must learn to apply their intelligence correctly and evolve beyond their current state. People must change, otherwise even if humanity expands into space it will only create new conflicts."

I don’t know why the game is getting so much hate, im 9hrs in and just love the game, definitely one of the best games I’ve played in a while and it fully releases tomorrow and im sure there will be more to come and hopefully with the full release more hype as a playstation player myself obviously i own a xbox to play startfield i think they just jealous its only pc and xbox
cause there are people that don't love the game like you. so simple.
@@SapiaNt0mata You obviously can’t read
As a PC player I know that planets are going to be filled with Mods and eventually DLC by Bethesda. So I'm not bothered, just enjoying my time being a space age David Attenborough and seeing what's on each planet.
Yea think about expansions adding in new cities
Lol If people barely make mods for fallout 4 and instead focus on a 14 year old game called fo nv today, what makes you think that we are gonna make content for a worse version of fallout 4 in space called starfailed? The dlc for fallout 4 was trash as well. Bethesda hasn't made a good game since fallout 3.
I mean it actually makes sense for a lot of the planets to not have life on them seeing that it’s like that in real life. There’s only a very small percent of planets that actually have multi cellular life on them
PS5 gamers are a big part of the crowd riding the hate bandwagon against this game, the game's not on their platform and are lashing out.
It's a good game. But there's plenty to complain about.
My issue with the exploration -- the biggest draw to me in an open-world game, and every prior FO or ES game -- is that you can head out in any direction and just bumble around and find nearly endless things to do. Every time you open/discover a new map area, there's going to be a few hours of content there.
This is exactly what made Elden Ring so awesome for me.
I'm not saying that they should have tried to populate 1000 worlds. This is the direction they took and it's their baby. We don't live on the timeline where they made the universe smaller so that it felt more dense and inviting. But for me, "1000 planets!" is this year's "16 times the power!"
Doesn't change my impression that it's missing what is, for me, the primary attraction to a game like this.
The rest of it is great and I'm enjoying it. But I'd be lying by omission if I didn't call this out because it's legit disappointing.
idk what you expected, all of you that thought this would be as limitless as no man's sky clearly did not watch the starfield direct, or any of the subsequent interviews with todd howard
@@spacedaniel492 I didn't watch any of the pre-release marketing content other than clips that appeared in gaming channel videos.
But yeah, I kind of expected it to be like Morrowind, Fallout3, Oblvion, Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Kinda. And it's not.
Sure, they never promised it would be and I'm not salty or angry or claming I've been misled. I started the comment with "it's a good game".
And I didn't mention No Man's Sky. It has the same problem I'm raising here. NMS isn't a game that favors exploration the way Skyrim or Elden Ring do.
"Complain" might be a bit strong. But "disappointment" is still what I felt when I found out that it's basically a theme park and not really an "open world" game.
A pizza that isn't as good as you thought it would be is still something you're going to enjoy and have a positive experience with.
You can't even swim in Elden Ring. So that's a lie.
@@spacedaniel492you don't make a space exploration game without including exploration, thats just pure logic. This game is way too limited considering the fact that space is the definition of freedom and unlimited exploration but here you cant do shit by yourself. Such a waste of potential. They should have done 10 planets on a solary system and give us the entire freedom to explore instead of 1000 useless planets which you can't even land on by yourself 😂
@@spacedaniel492 No I don't think being limitless is the issue here, I think it's not being able to move seamlessly from one point to another while you explore aimlessly, there is a point-and-click loading nature in there. And yeah I get that. I loved Skyrim because I could just head in an uninterrupted straight line and something mysterious was out there, that you might spot it in the distance.
I've personally clocked 50 hours in the game already, and I'm loving every second, from random deep space sea shanties to immature jokes about knowing the way to Uranus.
Yes it is a Bethesda game, but starfield is in impo amazing, thanks to using the best parts of Skyrim and fallout 4
Heya Bill! I've dropped about 25hrs into the game already, and I'm blown away.There is so much in this game to the point where we should feel spoiled. It's very good. I dont have enough time and space to express myself on here to how much im enjoying it!
I’m glad you’re enjoying it 👍
Don’t know if at 100 bucks a pop for AAA games the word spoiled should apply to gamers. The industry is at fault here surely, over promising, under delivering, etc etc. This is a solid BGS title, and that’s the best I can say about it.
@@carlkligerman1981it's a spectacular game - if u hate gaming so bad don't play, I just don't get the non stop negativity about everything.
@@j_dun4830 I love gaming, BGS games just are not my thing, I’m a Fromsoft, soulslike kind of guy, and enjoy FPSs too. And I don’t think gaslighting gamers and calling them spoilt is right when we pay so much to play AAA titles. Take Remnant2 for example, it’s a ‘double A’ game and cheaper than most AAA titles and absolutely leaves shite like this in the dust. But hey, opinions are like arseh9les, everybody has got one, and if you are enjoying Starfield all power to yah. Doesn’t discount others opinions though, nor should you let anybody else’s impact your enjoyment of the game bro. Have a good day
@@carlkligerman1981 i keep seeing 100 dollars but it costs 70 with one quick google search and if it’s Microsoft exclusive then it’s pretty easy to play without paying that through game pass
You hit this nail on the head. How is it that dames golm received way less hate then Starfield. People jumping on the hate ban wagon for easy clicks is absolutely insane. The reviews for the game do not match up with what the public seems to be saying about the game. I guess people find more fun hating on something instead of actually playing it
I truly don't understand the hate.
I love the game.
The only thing I see is a game designed by Gen X'ers for a mostly Mellinial and Gen Z audience. I think it's the generation gap.
Most of the hate comes from people that haven't played it, or have played it for about 2 hours. That's what I've noticed.
I am one of the viewers of Worth A Buy channel. I was also disappointed when he mentioned that he disliked the skills are locked behind the perk wall. I agree with you that I would rather spend my time grinding for perks than paying to unlock them. I think Bethesda wants players to be fully immersed in the game, so they designed the perk system in a way that allows players to specialize their characters based on their desired playstyle. For example, if you want to be a debt collector for Galbank, you can upgrade the Persuasive perk to make it easier to persuade or intimidate people when collecting debts. I have played the game for over 30 hours, and I have created multiple characters with different professions and playstyles. I have one character for the main quest, one for the side quests, and the rest for roleplaying.
Aside from the performance issues on my PC, one of the things that I enjoy about the game is choosing the parents trait that allows me to interacts with my parents. I know it sounds silly, but I really enjoy the way they communicate with each other and I genuinely feel the parents love for the kids. If you have read the letters from them and talking to them; it is really nice. I also like how the dialogue choices I make can lead to different outcomes, which sometimes surprises me. I know some people might find this cringe, but I enjoy even the smallest things that the game has to offer. This makes the game worth playing for me. Not only that, while I am doing the main quest or side quests, I often find myself getting sidetracked by other things. I also keep scanning, looking, and looting all the interactables, just in case I might miss some good loot or an easter egg.
I hope you read this. In case you don't know, you can use the scanning feature to look for loot, so you know if there is anything you can loot in a particular area.
I was disappointed that we couldn't land on the planet or fly our own ship. However, I don't mind because not all game companies can give players everything they want. For example, not every child gets what they want for Christmas. If you want to fly your own ship, you can play No Man's Sky or Star Citizen. We just need to find ways to enjoy the games that we have.
For instance, I think Starfield shares the same universe as Cyberpunk 2077. So, when I want to experience both space and ground life, I can switch between the two games. This allows me to have a more immersive roleplaying experience.
Ultimately, whether or not a player enjoys a game depends on their expectations. If they go into the game with a negative attitude, they are more likely to hate it.
I totally agree especially about going into a game with a negative attitude. Yeah I knew about scanning for loot but I appreciate you letting me know 🙏
@@igulf9178 I agree 100% with everything you've said. However, I wonder what you mean by saying that we cannot fly our own ship. Sure we can (tho we cannot fly down to a planet seamlessly, but at least to me this was clear from the start. Starfield is no space simulator after all).
Until last week I had never heard of starfield and hadn't touched my xbox in ages. I have already clocked 30 hours gameplay on it. It has totally blown me away and never had this feeling and enjoyment for a game for over 10 years .
I’m glad you’re enjoying it 👍
0:50 this is why I "hate" starfield
I've only continued to play the game because of sunken cost fallacy. It definitely is not worth $70+
The game is really barren, and is a major time sink just from loading screenings, menus, and unskippable animations like docking as an example.
I'm level 31 and have only done side content. I've finished two faction story lines and story wise, the first one, that involves the crimson fleet was good, and the second, Ryujin Industries was lack luster because of gameplay made the story not as immersive or cool.
Space combat is horrible and janky. Boarding a ship is really cool the first time you do it but in the end its pointless because you don't make profit from selling them even with the Commerce perk maxed out, and they aren't as good as the ones you can buy.
Surveying planets is completely RNG on how much time it can take you regarding the planet's Traits. You can literally run around the planet for an hour hoping you find one, then praying you find another unique one and not the same one you discovered. Yes you can level up the skill that scans planets to RNG your way past this...but it doesn't DO ANYTHING except make mission board missions for finding traits easier to complete.
Gunplay/AI/Combat is extremely upsetting that its this horrible in 2023. Enemies do not do anything challenging or special regardless of difficulty. Saying "its a Bethesda game" is not a valid excuse. The combat skill tree is pointless because you'll be able to kill enemies with ease and is the tree where you should not sink any points in. Ship combat is literally the AI jousting you, flying away, and repeating that over and over.
All of these critiques don't even mention the horrible performance. i9 12900k @ 5.1GHZ, 4090, 32GB of ram at 3800 and the frame rates along with frame drops are ludicrous regardless of settings.
Hopefully the Main quest line makes up for all of this and im praying that it does. Game seems half baked, 6.5/10 imo.
The game is free on gamepass. I play on the series x and have had little to no frame drops, load times are literally seconds, so it doesn't even bother me. You can just fast travel to where you wanna go instead of sitting through a landing animation. The higher the tier of a ship is, the more it sells for, I've literally sold ships for 20k+ with no points into commerce. For planet traits, just look for life signs, most of the time that's where you can scan for the trait of that planet, if you don't see any, land somewhere else on that planet. If it's so easy, play on a harder difficulty, regardless I find the combat rather fun, instead of sneaking around and one tapping people because of sneak damage multiplier, I like to go in guns blazing using the huge array of weapons they have in the game. Voice acting in the game is actually the best to date, almost every character has their own VA. Play the main quests, that's where it gets even better.
I judge games based on my own personal enjoyment. I like this game a lot. I don't know how I would compare it to other BGS games that I love yet, because I haven't finished the main story.
A lot of people I’m guessing are ps fan boys who are pissed that it didn’t come out on their console 🤷🏻♂️,I’ve been to 10 planets so far and landed in several locations on each planet and have always come across several things going on not once have I landed and found nothing! End of the day I’m really enjoying it and really couldn’t give a 💩 what others think. And wait till the modders get hold of it I’m excited to see what they come up with!
They absolutely are. I've never seen such amounts of Hatred for a game in my life and I've been gaming since the end of Atari, NES era.
What do you think of it almost a year later?
I still love the game (despite some things I don’t like but aren’t game breakers for me) and agree that especially early on it was being review bombed to oblivion by the same people who just complain about a game not being exactly what they thought it would be. I feel ever since I started playing Bethesda games, fallout 4 being my first one, whenever I would look up stuff on RUclips or google people were just negative about it and how it wasn’t exactly like New Vegas, and then once Fallout 76 came out and then the show came out everyone went back to playing it and acted like they didn’t complain when it initially released (also before anyone comes at me in the comments it had a 6/10 and now has a 9/10)
Some of the complaints you mentioned are the most annoying to hear:
Like the systems are light years away from each other, yet people expect to fly between planets and systems without fast traveling. And they’re probably the same people complaining that in No man’s sky it takes forever to explore anything.
Planets and moons being barren even though they have resources to mine and collect which allow for crafting and credits for selling them.
You can set up outpost almost anywhere unlike the settlements in fallout 4.
The people complaining about procedural generation for planets would be the same people complaining that the planets and moons surfaces are not thoroughly designed if they were done by hand and that the planets were all the exact same cookie cutter surfaces with different colors and materials
I haven’t even tried ng+ since I still haven’t finished the game since I got sidetracked just doing side quests or just plain exploring the systems and then got sidetracked even more playing Fallout 4 after the show came out.
I think a 7/10 was fair when this video came out and would say it is fair almost a year later, but could improve in my mind with potential updates and expansions.
I was so confused about the state of the game when people where saying diablo 4 was better than starfield, but when i was looking at gameplay seemed very good
Over hyped, like really over hyped that's the problem. It just ultimately doesn't live up to those expectations.
People need to stop expecting so much, that’s the problem because most games under deliver on their promises in modern gaming. This is the best AAA game I’ve played in months
Everyone I know that owns it, loves it. Admittedly, the intro & first few hours really plod along, but once you learn the systems & mechanics, it’s hard to stop playing.
My problem is the optimization, the missing AI of unnamed npcs especially new Atlantis npcs and loading screens, getting around planet to planet is not just one loading screen its multiple fades to black. Getting to ship loading screen, flying off to space loading screen, travelling to planet loading screen, landing to planet loading screen, getting off your ship loading screen, like I don't have a problem if it is just 1 long loading screen but multiple loading screens in less than 30 seconds, why.
Those loading screens make it easier to run. Also, they take less than 10s in most cases. Not a huge issue
Personally I'm having a great time with it. Just love the fact that I can open the game with the intentions of doing a certain quest, then get distracted and 4 hours later suddenly remember - oh shit was supposed to be doing that quest lol
Starfield is Quest Overload set to 11... Dude anytime you go anywhere, quest, here some quests for your quests. Dawg I heard you like quests, while you getting 100 Quests. 😂
Mate, this review is so on point. I couldn’t agree more with every single point you raised, including the abomination that is the worth a buy review. Some people are never happy, and I don’t understand the mediocre reviews from IGN and GameSpot. If more people knew how to make games there wouldn’t be such a huge amount of know it all reviewers out there that don’t have a fucking clue about what they are talking about and it angers me that so many people will not get to even try this game because they do believe the reviewers know what they are talking about.
The IGN reviewer has no business reviewing RPGs.
It's not Starfield getting so many hate but actually all those butthurt Trashtuber got exposed now for being PS ponies aka PS shills. They can't stop talking crap about Starfield which is dumb and cringe !!!
Yeah I normally like worth a buy for his review style, but his review of starfield was absolutely awful. I've never disagreed with him more than I did on that video.
100% True. I never played Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and of course, No Man's Sky. All because of the f*cking negative rewiews. I swear to god this is a true story. I didn't end up playing any of those games until about 18 months after each release because I am so stupid for believing the negative hype. I finally got this one statement through my head and I will never read another game review until I've played the game at least 30+ hours, then I will read. So yeah you're 100% correct, and this is the statement I realized is absolute truth:
"The more a game is hyped, the more hate it will receive."
In my opinion a big part of that hate for Starfield is that it’s not on PS5, Sony fanboys are literally having a meltdown over it.
What ruins great games are really high expectations from gamers, if it doesn’t meet their expectations it’s a bad game for them.
They are a really small minority IMO. I'm a PC guy but the quality of Playstation games in the past years blew Xbox games out of the water. Starfield included.
with platforms like tiktok, promiting ADHD and similar disorders at a scary exponential rate, more people have the tendency to do the grave mistake of judging the book by its cover or not playing the entire game with neutral expectation and a neutral mindset, leading to WAY TOO QUICK judgement and overly high expectations.
this and next generation kids are already lost!
proper efforts in passion projects and REAL Art being less and less valued ...
i will never stop and always resume playing a game the same way i always played them 10 or 15 years ago.
all these 5 year old haters are doing is make the devs throw the towel and stop making games all together because you cant please these spoiled princesses anymore ...
what you said so far in the video is common goddamn human sense, it should go without saying!!!!
thank you for the video, i agree with everything
Man you said everything I felt about this game. For a second I thought "Maybe i'm easy and i'm just the odd one out? Because i love it?"
But thank you for putting a stop to that thought in my head. Appreciate it.
It got annoying, especially seeing I hate Starfield " videos 4 months later is getting ridiculous
I hate loading screens, i hate the combat, i hate the story, i hate the exploration, i hate that we cant go on a gas giant, i hate that we cant make alien characters, i hate the there's pronouns, i hate that we have a silence protagonists, i hate the graphics, i hate the we cant walk around the whole entire planet, i hate that we have no vehicles, i hate the we cant break down or gear for resources, and most of all i hate the it not on playstation. This is all the complaints i here for this game is absolutely ridiculous!!!
it's funny that people who complain pin Redfall to Bethesda, but Prey and Doom have nothing to do with Bethesda
Empty planets is the stupidest argument ever lol. I think that the game is fantastic. I agree with your 9/10 rating and I'm wayyy further than you. I'd argue it gets even better when you start finding juicy starships getting really deep into starship customisation.
1. Gunplay - Good variety of guns. Gunplay isn't cutting edge but it's very good. Every gun feels different 8/10
2. Story - 7/10. It's quite predictable
3. Character customisation - 10/10 . It's really good.
4. Skill diversity - 10/10. Every skill tree feels impactful
5. Cities - Feels like a city in space. 10/10
6. UI - 5/10 . Serious improvements in ship builders, outpost builder and inventory management needed . City maps also needed .
It's actually really solid and fun .
More casuals getting into the console war. They're used to playing a handful of linear but polished PS exclusives. No innovation. Just a 30hr experience.
The facts and figures tell the truth. Early access numbers online was 234,000 players. Half the hate is bitter Sony fans that don't want Xbox to enjoy great exclusives. People on that train love whipping each other up into a frenzy about how "terrible" Starfield is.
When people are still playing this in 5 years time, it will be a testament to good the game is.
I seen a guy the other day on steam who had put 200 hrs in the game and gave it a terribly bad review. Like the dude just spent a literal week of his life on the game, buts it's sucks? Come on man this shit is frustrating. Cause I know how good the game is.
The problem I have with the skill tree is that there are very important things that are locked to where you play most of the game without even getting to fully experience the game.
New Game Plus
New Game Plus. They way they structured the game, new game plus is the best route and where you'll actually get to fully experience , not just because skills carry over, but because NG+ actually adds things to the experience. Alternatively, they hyped up the end game as well, I think due to the sheer amount of content left over after the main story idk I haven't beaten the game yet. I'm not really caring about the crafting or anything like that until after I complete the main game. Yeah, I go off the best path every so often but NG+ is when you'll really have the room to open up in the roleplay category bc you'll have a little less to do in regards to getting your character where you need it.
Good, that means it's an RPG.
This is at its core a good game it does have 2 annoying issues like your a.i team m8 blocking the door or standing in front of you when shooting. There is a mission I have come across where people are in a locked infirmary and you have to clear out the spacers every one is dead and when you try to open the door it tells you to kill all the spacers even though all are dead..
The world's that are empty are one so you can build outposts and two so you can explore . It's taken me a while to get use to this game as a fan of no man's sky I really do like this game having played since early realise I Highly recommend it if you want a fun space game
some people are Auto Hating because its Bethesda.. I refer to it as the fallout 76 effect.
Honestly the new game plus feature has completely turned me off from wanting to finish my original playthrough as what's the point I may as well just rush all 10 endings so what's the point??
I'm installing Starfield on my Series S as I type this. Being a big space nerd this is my kinda game. Hoping it'l bring back all the memories of the old SW Battlefield games 😁
I play on series S and it is fine, had a few crashes but played over 40 hours now. Plus these crashes will eventually get patched out.
@@MrDavepassey Thnx for that. I was wondering how performance was
those memories of SW Battlefront are the last thing we want in Starfield: micro transactions, no original story, casual/boring gameplay...
I love this game. Depending on how good it continues to be , it could be my favorite game ever , not sure yet lol. Definitely one of the best though. I think what they can add to it aswell can keep it alive and amazing for so long.
Crazy how one of the best games I’ve ever played is so hated. I like cyberpunk too and people hate that as well. But then Fortnite and warzone stay towards the top and I hate em both. Hm I guess I’m just an odd duck
The main thing to me is the AI and spending like half an hour constantly dealing with inventory but the story and gunplay seems fun and I don't even like space games
lol - inventory dealing is a self imposed problem - stop picking shit up or be weak willed and keep doing what is comfortable for you. i just started my 3rd character, pirate character and got 2 ships, 50k in credits before i landed to talk to sarah. did not pick up a damn thing - i literally blew shit up and stole ships... been buying my epics.
@@asianartist1 I hear what your saying and I'm glad you enjoy the game the way you do but if it's revolved around loot and there's limits on how much you can carry and even limits to what you can store it just feels like a pain like in most loot games you can carry unlimited loot or they make you able to carry tons of loot like why can't they make the ship storage or base inventory just much bigger especially when you are expected to farm materials that are heavy asf and weigh you down
@@SlicedNinjaaWhat are you complaining about!!! I have 310 carry capacity on my character and 2800 on my main ship ??
I approach all games now with the mentality of just ignoring negative yt videos. Not clicking that baited thumbnail and avoiding that frustration of the usual internet shite baggage that always follows a hyped game.
Play it for myself and decide. Search out the yt guides, ignore the negativity, curing the frustration.
What’s your preferred platform for the game? PC or Xbox?
Xbox even with 30fps. My PC had issues running it unfortunately because I would have preferred that
Why is this game receiving so much hate?
Well, why did Hogwarts get so much hate?
Why do Game X or Y or Z get hate?
These days, it seems no game release can escape SOME levels of hate or controversy.
Twitter-twats who are deeply, deeply unhappy in their personal lives, lashing out at anything and everything they see; they wanna bring the world down to their level. And game journos recognize a good opportunity for rage-baiting, hate-baiting, click-baiting when they see one.
Keep up the great work, my man. Some of your Remnant 2 guide videos really helped me out a ton.
Hogwarts was more due to outside issues like JK Rowling Trans issue. I don't recall exactly what she said but I do recall reading it at some point and thinking that's it? So as a backlash to the Backlash it got way more support than it might have got otherwise
Thank you mate, I’m glad the Remnant 2 guides helped out 👍
I have 20 hours in Starfield so far. Personally, I think the game is a lot of fun and really opens up when doing the story side quests.
However, I haven't found the main quest to be interesting yet, Bugthesda struck again with typical AI pathing and legacy bugs, and the first 10 hours are slower than any Bethesda RPG.
Imo it's still a great experience thatI can't fully judge until I invest another 100 hours into it. Feeling like an 8/10 game so far, it was worth the pre-order.
Think a lot of the noise is coming from PS users and a lesser extent nvidia users (it's one of those things, if you're happily enjoying the game then you're not on social media praising the game because you're busy playing it, while the 'not gots' and 'haters' make all the noise), I've only played it for 5 or so hours but at no point has it made me go 'wow' whereas I have been (only slightly) disappointed by a couple of things, imo NMS does space travel and exploration a lot better (and the landing on planets), NPC combat is weak (heard it gets better later), PC controls aren't great (yes you can rebind them, but out the box they're not great) and neither is performance, no FOV slider on a PC game/port is a big wtf moment too. Personally I'm kinda 50/50 on the game, it's done nothing to really stand out to me but at the same time its done nothing especially wrong, I'm no reviewer but right now I'd give it 8/10 at a stretch... not a single crash tho and bugs seem pretty minimal, certainly nothing game breaking (so far). Anyone giving lower than a 7 are crazy, especially considering the state of current and recent 'AAA' titles, remember (I know it's a different genre) but reviewers were giving the likes of Bf2042 perfect and near perfect scores at its release, 2042 barely functioned...
The VAST majority of hate is coming from pissed off Sony fanboys.
I literally read one guy blasting it because "there isn't even an animation of your ship taking off". Despite the fact that you literally see this everytime you take off.
He got ratioed into oblivion for clearly not playing the game and another guy rated it 5/10 because he didnt like the loading screen. Just stupidity like this.
That and spoiled gamers wanting everything their way. Wanting games to be 1000x more than what they are and expecting a 10/10 with every release
Nothing to do with hype, I downloaded it, played it, and as soon as I realized how boring flying a clunky spaceship is I quit. If I wanted to spend countless hours looking at stars flying by I'd re-download the old Microsoft Screensaver. To think they put off potentially great games with an established fan base (ES6 AND Fallout 5) for this is sad. And I'm 36, there's a decent chance I may not live tonsee Fallout 5. Like I said, sad. Seems like the better our technology gets, the worse our performance is. We can design and bring to life virtual worlds so much faster and at such a higher quality than ever in gaming history and developers instead are taking longer and longer to put out content. In some instances instances, literally decades. RIP GAMING.
Honestly having a blast so many different ways to play the game and role play as well. I reallllllllly hope a co-op for space exploration and recourse collection opens up in the future so I can enjoy this with my homies. First XBox title I’ve ever played and I can honestly say it’s going to extremely difficult to put the Xbox X controller down to play my ps5. Hooked!!!
Let’s be real it’s because it’s an Xbox game and not on peoples favorite plastic box PS5
30FPS
Don't forget the ladder issue. Also major important for the PS5 users.
there's absolutely nothing wrong with Starfield im playin it on my series s that people from sony said the game will burn and crash my system just for playing it on the series s just because of how large the game is and that amount bugs it has
I haven't come across not one bug except the big bugs I killed in a video from the Starfield game
My only issues are the lack of shoulder swap and despite having maxed Weightlifting, my inventory is always full. Inventory management needs a rework! Oh and 9/10 is about right!
Upgrade cargo payload for your ship and give your companion some of your gear. Easy way to unload gear.
They have ships with literal thousands of cargo space, also player homes have storage.
@@DanteKurosaki I know that, but if I’m exploring a world I cannot keep going back to my ship to drop stuff off. Once my mule is full and I’m full I have to micromanage every pickup!
@@SevenDaysToNoonHOW MUCH S . H . I . T ARE YOU PICKING UP.a.
I think a huge problem people do now adays is comparing games to other games. I went into this game a clean slate. No expectations, spoilers or anything. Alot of people that are complaining compared it to much to No mans sky, or fallout 4 or even older games like the elder scrolls games. Thats where you went wrong. Its none of those games so stop comparing. Trust me you will enjoy games alot more if you do this. 😅
I have never done that and I tend to like/love the games I play if they meet my interests. People who play other games to remind them of other games are dumb imo
Exactly. A lot of people came into this expecting No Man's Sky, or Elite Dangerous, just because it's a space game. But that's just not what Bethesda does
On the one hand, people being disappointed that it's not some other game remade need to get a grip.
On the other hand: comparing it to other recent games I've played which had frikkin HDR controls *so I could actually see what's going on* doesn't seem unreasonable in 2023. That's not the kind of detail you can easily discover is missing -or see its impact - until you've bought the game, either.
And on this same side of the coin: this game is just nowhere near as engaging as the last 2 games I've played (Armoured Core 6 and Remnant 2) - and maybe it's just the terrible lighting making me squint when I look at it, but 3 times now I've put the controller down after no more than an hour, having run out of motivation.
Everyone is upset you can’t seamlessly travel between planets and say other games have done everything Starfield does but better
@@geroffmilan3328 Armoured core and rememnt are more linear and focused on pushing you towards action, kinda hard to get bored when the game is forcing you to pay attention or you die.
How ever good a game is, the developers are always gona get flack when they don't deliver what they promise. People forget that Starfield is a first Bethesda game for a lot of gamers and they had no previous knowledge of the style. If you went purely off the hype and trailers then you'd probably be in the camp of disappointment too.
"PLAY THE GAME YOURSELF! The game is fantastic! Don't let envy, hatred, and haters deter you. It's an excellent game that exudes Bethesda's essence. There are bugs, but 95% of them add extra fun to the game. This is an ultimate game that only gets better with updates, mods, and DLCs. Dare to try it. Give yourself and the game time!"
Well...first of all...this is about personal pref right? So whatever i gonna say here is not to bully anyone ok? I've play it on PC and my honest thoughts about it: It's a really bad game! And i will tell why: 1. Performance: There is no reason why this game has such a bad performance and i'm talking about all the platforms PC and consoles. Why should anyone pay o lot of money for a so called "next gen" console or graphics card, just to play at 30 FPS? I wouldn't complain here if it was absolutely stunning in terms of visuals, but it's not! Look at the NPC'S details, the einvironment...everything looks so bad. There have been many games in the past that did an amazing job. 2. Gameplay: Apart from the quests, there is simply not much you can do! The movement feels really weird, gunplay sucks, the menu is pathetic, the sounds (pew pew), bugs and stupid A.I.. This launch is way worse then Cyberpunk 2077. So why is everybody defending this? 3. Freedom? Where is the freedom to do everything and explore many plantes? I can't! That's it. It's a 70 to 100 Dollar/Euro expensive Screensaver! Loadingscreens for everything. Why? You can't even fly! You are in a fixed sandbox without moving a single mile! But hey,,,press x on you're on a planet lightyears away. Sorry to my bad english...not a native speaker. But tell me why this is a good game! Give me a reason, just one!
One reason this game is good is because of the depth the different mechanics have like ship building, character creation and the skill tree
@@Born2Game well....that's a point. But i think it's nothing like"special" to the gaming world. Not something new tbh. But hey....when it's fun, it's fun...or it doesn't just work
Stay strong boys. There are also people who be hating on armored core 6 even though its great.
That’s mad, I didn’t know about the Armored Core 6 hate and I agree it’s a brilliant game
This game is AWESOME Those haters are Sony ponies drinking bud light and wearing dresses 🤌
The main problem is people being so used to messed up game 's launch that now that a game launched properly, they can't accept it. Ahd haters will always be haters. I agree with your opinion. I don't like RPG in general, but by the videos I watched, I want to try it at least. Awesome content as always, Bill. Great work. Keep it like this. Real and honest. No bull... Cheers!!!
Cheers mate and I totally agree people are so used to games being messed up at launch
I wouldn't say it's a straight up RPG, it's a space looter shooter with RPG elements. Essentially don't be put off by the RPG part.
@@Voodoo_S3 I won't. Tomorrow I will be able to try it. Irt seems a lot of fun. We can take our time and play at our own pace. No microtransactions schemes, no battlepass, no crap. I look forward to it!
Lol, most people seem to be absolutely loving Starfield, and the hate is coming from a vocal minority..... the majority of which seem to be Playstation fanboys..... who'da thunk it? ;)
I like the game but the things I don't like is removing dismemberment and blood, when you remove armour it's still on the body and exploration could be better.
Im not expecting every planet to be a huge loot fest. But even the ones that have stuff on to explore it just feels like a waste if time still. Maybe add some blue prints for ship parts, outposts or something. Some big rewards and they could be on random planets so you can't just look up a guide to find them.
The hate is easily explained - either ignorance or Howard hate. Total losers both ends.
i bought it and sold it within 8hrs, id say a 7 out 10 is being kind. 9 and 10s are for games like RD2, FF7, FF8. And the you didnt play it enough excuse is ridiculous, i dont need 80 hrs to tell you superman for n64 is terrible, you can tell a game is boring or bad within a hour.
Honestly the biggest problem I have with Starfield is no stealth melee kill animations it might seem trivial but it's the play style I love has been for Skyrim and Fallout 4 I know it's not related but that was a big problem I had with cyberpunk also
Complaining about new releases is kinda a new hobby. Not sure if andromeda really started this or not. But now people just jump in the band wagon.
Remember Outer Worlds? Remember when it didn't even have space exploration, despite having a space ship and being able to transport to other planets and ships? Nobody hated on that game. Bethesda wanted to do a bit more, and I think it's great. I'd rather fast travel everywhere so I can, you know, actually PLAY the game. Being able to land anywhere on a planet, even if it's a randomly generated 1500m x 1500m map (which is still pretty freaking big), is pretty cool. It works well. Space combat is nice. I can do trading in this game. There's tons of discoverable content, which is what made Oblivion and Skyrim so great. I can't wait to see what fans of this game do to it with mods, it'll be nuts, I'm sure. (I'm hoping for a vehicles mod sooner than later.)
The only people hating on this game are cry babies. These are the same people, who after putting an hour or two into the game, would use the fast travel features ANYWAYS. They were just mad they couldn't fly to the planet and land on it like they can in Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky. They'll get over it.
You have literally reached into my head and made a video from all my thoughts. Thank you! I can't appreciate it more. We got a Bethesda title!! We got exactly what we asked for!! Haters gonna hate.
You’re welcome 👍
I think the game is hated because what the game was presented as and what we got aren't exactly alike, the way it was promoted was vague and unclear, people feel lied to, another thing is the time it took to develop isn't reflected in what we see, some might feel disappointed, which can become twisted into hate and derision. At no point was the game presented as just another Bethesda game but just in space, a game lacking a lot of polish and held back by the dated engine. Instead of a galaxy spanning sci-fi adventure you have a loading screen after loading screen, looter shooter with shallow RPG elements. There's no denying theres fun to be had but the game is still mediocre when after so long in development it could've been far more than was was delivered
The game developers deserve the backlash they received for this disappointing game. They hyped up the game with unrealistic promises and failed to deliver on them. The game is set in outer space, but it offers little to no exploration or variety. It is a bland and boring experience that does not capture the wonder and excitement of space travel. The game is also unnecessarily long, which seems like a greedy attempt to make more money from the consumers by selling them an unfinished product. The game may have some fun moments, but it is ultimately a mediocre and repetitive example of Bethesda’s usual formula.
It’s not the developers fault, that will be the marketing team
These days, it seems like people are quick to nitpick and criticize anything, even when a new game is actually quite good overall. This mindset of finding flaws and creating drama is harmful to everyone's mental health and is unfortunately quite addictive, driving more clicks and engagement.
If someone doesn't enjoy something, why can't they simply move on to the next thing? Why does everyone think everything should cater to their specific preferences? Sometimes, the world doesn't need to change for you; instead, you might need to adapt to the world. If you're content with yourself, there's no need to play every single game that comes out.
In essence, it's like watching TV. If you don't like what's on channel 1, just grab the remote and switch to the next channel. However, in today's world, it often feels like everyone is so self-centered and focused on "me, me, I, I," which isn't a healthy attitude. Let's all try to be more open-minded and accepting of different experiences and opinions.
If you dont like Starfield MOVE ON WITH UR LIFE ! if you like and and wish to give Constructive criticism, there is a healthy and good way to say it.
Sorry for the long rant and thank you for the video 😅
You’re welcome and no worries about the long rant 👍
Unfortunately there are a lot of miserable people who are not only miserable with themselves but aren't happy unless complaining about something.
@@godphoenix66xMost gamers or most people in general have devolved into a bunch of entitled, tribalistic, attention seeking Karens and they know the best way to get the most attention is to be negative because apparently negative sells nowadays. It's a damn shame. So much for being an independent individual forming their own thoughts instead of copying and pasting their favorite youtuber's thoughts or whatever the new bandwagon is currently.
@@sentinelkevin7375 so true 👍
The problem
The internet and social media.
Everyone’s thoughts and opinions are always there now.
Before the 2000’s you didn’t hear everyone’s opinion and everyone minded thier own business
The game was mid for me. I think it will be better in a year or more. 18 hours and I was not having a good time. Refunded for now.
Why?
Constantly in the menus.
No map
The story is lazy and boring
Combat was good at first, then got boring
Companions uninteresting and buggy
Load screens/Black Screens for everything
NPCs are hideous and lifeless
item management cumbersome
Positives
The game looked pretty good graphically at times.
Starfield plays like Fallout 4 which I liked a lot. I even like Fallout 76 in it's current state. So yeah, enjoying every minute so far. DLSS3 Mod and more already available. Everyone knows that Bethesda games thrive over time. Happy that this is not a single player Star Citizen clone. God forbid I have to travel an hour to a planet watching Pornhub in the meantime...thanks but no thanks.
It could better but ive really enjoyed playing so far. Ship building, base building, exploration… if they fix no bugs and keep expanding on these three things i will be perfectly happy
I'm not a fan of it. Watched some play on RUclips. Characters aren't that well done. Skyrim LE looked better. Witcher 3 is far superior. They just looked old, when did they start making Starfield?
That could explain it.
(It took the creators almost 25 years to plan the games and then put them into pieces. )
And yep, I'm not a fan of Bethesda. But I don't think my criticism is out of line. It may have been coloured by my playing Horizon Zero Dawn, or The Witcher 3 a lot recently. Against the character graphic in them it's not in the race.
I looked at it to see what it was like. Out of curiosity. But not my thing.
From what I saw I wouldn't go 9 out of 10. If you can send me your glasses, I'd like to check them out to see if it's them.
You do seem to be somewhat defensive on their behalf. Which could be colouring your viewpoint? What matter is you enjoy it that's enough. You don't have to enjoy it for everyone else. They can do that on their own. 🙂
I'd be more inclined to give it a 5 out of 10. But to give you something to hang your hat on. I'd give Skyrim LE a 9 out of 10 today. It's modded, to my satisfaction. So, a wee way from standard.
And I've been playing it for years.
I'm more inclined to play Skyrim. But I like that style. Not really into modern as my ideal, fantasy worlds. And Starfield is just another shooter.
But each to their own. There'll be more than a few who will look at what I've written and want to have a chunder. 🙂
We know the destination, its the journey that's the mystery. Have fun and make it worthwhile.
Well said pal. Agree with your opinion 👍 Done 25 hours and I can see it being a 1000 hours before I'm bored
Thank you mate 👍
I guess we were too harsh on cyberpunk 2077. Dumb AI, bugs and glitches, dated formula and a bunch of lies and overpromises. Well its bethesda so they should get a pass right?
No company gets a pass. Bethesda have delivered a great game regardless of what they said before launch. If it was a bad game then they would deserve all the hate
@@Born2Game i didnt know you were such a fanboy of bethesda
Things are locked behind skill trees because people have been complaining to Bethesda for years that Skyrim and Fallout 4's skill systems were too streamlined and casual.
This is the thanks Bethesda gets for listening to fans, I guess.
68 hours in and it feels like the game is just starting to rank up speed. I'm lvl20 currently. There is a insane amount of content. Worth every penny. Also, not a single crash. This is on Series-X, haven't tried PC-version yet.
1. Sony fanboys praying it would be a fail.
2. It genuinely is disappointing from a visuals and mechanics point of view.
As long as fans of this genre are happy then that's all that matters. I'll give it a go later, but I suspect I'll be back to NMS on VR, as VR is where I'm at for now.
To me it looks like a great game not quite what I hoped for but decent.
Worth a buy said what he didn’t like was the lack of immersion and exploration especially as you can just fast travel everywhere basically making your ship void.
BGS games were built on exploring and finding things new by chance and feels like that’s lost in starfield.
My main concern from the criticism is that is from people who haven’t played the game and just want to turn it into another redfall for ridicule.
Worth a Buy should know that fast travel is an option, it only breaks immersion and exploration if you use it which you don’t have to
@@Born2GameYou absolutely do have to use fast travel and go through multiple loading screens. Even if you head to the lodge after a mission (Black Screen) talk to a boring NPC, head back out (Black Screen), run to the train (Cut scene), run through a buggy frame rate drop to the ship bypassing all the eyeballing NPCs 👁️👄👁️, now you’ve ran to your ship to load yet another (Black Screen), go to your cock pit to sit down, and load a (cut scene) by jumping into space. Then what.. are you going to fly to the planet… no. You will have to load another (Cut scene) into a warp. Which get this…Loads another (Cut scene) of the ship landing. Oh it’s gets better, you then get up to run to the exit of your ship to go through another (Black Screen). When I actually type it out no wonder it felt like a chore. Not to mention the crappy UI of playing through the menus or having to warp multiple times because you haven’t discovered a clear path.
The problems with Starfield: TTK is too long on the ground (time to kill), loading screens should be replaced with cutscenes (or even better have small load levels like the elevator in Cyberpunk 2077 that loads all the the ground stuff while inside it), not enough traits and bitchy Playstation fans!
Imagine a game where you can build spacecraft, build bases, own in city property, visit 3 massive cities and multiple other hand created areas, visit a the planets in the solar system and have the character of them be fairly accurate etc. etc. etc.
Loading screens are a really small price to pay.
The loading screen is such BS. Days before early access I finished Persona 5 and that was a fast travel Jrpg with areas I could in 30 seconds.. 😅 and I liked that game well enough, but overrated for what it was but a cool adventure nonetheless and Starfield offers vastly more content than Persona 5 does and yet clowns says Fast travel simulator as if that's somehow a Critical flaw, when the areas you fast travel to are larger than the entire World areas of Persona 5 just in one Planet tile.
Awesome video! I am loving and enjoying this game with its ups and downs. No one and nothing is perfect! It is always very sad to me to hear ppl complain about everything. Sucks for them since they won't be enjoying the game while we are having the time of our lives lol ❤
Thank you 👍
I just miss the VATS system, the combat for me is the most underwhelming part. Hopefully, they add it back through an update.
V.A.T.S is a Fallout thing. Vaultec assisted targeting system. You have a targeting system for ships.
It's not that starfield is good or bad that's the problem. People just hate Bethesda SO much they will never let their ego say the game is good. On TikTok alone I've seen people hate the game purely because it's Bethesda and others saying they're gonna mass down vote it because it's Bethesda.
As good or bad as Bethesda is they can never win because of this mob mentality. I fully expect sadly that it'll be mostly negative when steam reviews come in.
I don't understand why everyone is jumping on the hate train. I'm 10+ hours in and I really like it! I completely agree with the WAB comment, I was actually disgusted by how he hammered the game.
30 fps on a 15 year old game engine is ridiculous
Games an 8 at best whoever gave it a 10 shouldnt be allowed to make reviews
Reviews are just an opinion but it’s annoying when people mention stupid shit in them good or bad, when they start making stuff up or mentioning something because they feel others want to hear it they lose all credibility
Im still glad i went in with this mind set "it wont be the second coming of christ, but it will be fun".
, and guees who is having fun.
Hell, thats not to say there are no issues, there are, im just glad i didnt over hype myself like everyone else did.
When I was a kid, I would play super mario 64 and pokemon stadium, and thought those games were amazing. I live in the future now; pretty much everything amazes me.
Nah....it's mediocre, honestly a step backwards. I mean no mini map or cover in the city? Even GTA 5 has cover, also you specialize in laser weapons but there are only 2 weapons? C'mon its unfinished
