MxR, you are the reason I mod games. Thank you for your service all these years. Your channel and videos are a treasure.
Hes not the Only reason but hes definately in the Top 10...
Thank you for your service!
Any recommendations? @@Party_Doll
It really is great to have you with us on a new Bethesda modding journey!
It's not a good game if you have to mod away.
I dare you to never download mods, we'll see if you'll still sing praises.
@@ceshmate1953 Nah, I'm just gonna enjoy the game as I see fit. Mods are fun!
@@ceshmate1953its not fair to ignore.mods.when it comes to reviewing bethesda games when they deliberately give modding support and leave out details for modders to fill. Bethesda games are sandboxes first and foremost, and the narrative of their games is not the stories in them but the pace you take to immerse yourself in that world.
Modding is also a part of that. You get to take your own pace with modifying the sandbox, you get to set the narrative. You get to enjoy the game as you see fit.
That's what separates bethesda from the rest. Mods are a part of the Bethesda experience, and that is by choice.
@ceshmate1953 I'm about to mod the shit out of baldures gate 3. Still a phenomenal game. Mods just build onto the game. I'm having a blast on starfield with over 50 hours clocked in.
all of bethesda games are like that which is a shame@@ceshmate1953
I feel like this would not be a legit Bethesda Softworks game without you covering it. Nice to see you back!
I watch MxR Plays but its not the same. There's something nostalgic about this channel, I've been watching it for over a decade now 😅

Never forget the guy who traded lives with you to become a miner for the rest of his life while you go on a space adventure such dedication that’s like a millionaire walking up to a store worker and handing them their money and car keys and saying I want to stock shelves for the rest of my life
Who do you mean? If you mean the intro guy
(spoiler)
he ll come along with you on your adventures eventually. but maybe you mean someone else?
@@leohumbarelly861no he meant who you thought he just hasn't gotten far enough to realize that's not set in stone plus most of the time to explain have there it's kind of a wild card and seems to do whatever it wants even if it doesn't make sense to others and he's the only one that had the visions and he believed if he got you to constellation they'd be closer and he was right.
Who am I to judge him?
Well, to be fair, the ship wasn't his, it was constellation's and he never gave you any money as well lol. Plus he didn't do a lot of mining at least not for long because ( spoiler alert ) he got captured by pirates sometime later
You mean you ditched Barret forever?

Your description of the internal scale of the ships gives me some hope for the next Fallout game, one of the things I had always wanted since the OG Fallouts was to have just a few vaults but make them as big as they logically should be, as big as the art with the line of people stretching out of sight says they must be.
"Ass big"
*sight
You are welcome
Todd Howard gonna be retired by the time fallout 5 is In development. Don’t have too much hope
Let me be the bearer of bad news. The colony ship is just like the vaults in Bethesda's Fallout games. It is big enough to give you a taste and a feeling that it is a colony ship, that it is bigger than other ships, but it isn't a full scale colony ship. Other ships and facilities in Starfield are the same way. Things that should be huge are big, but if it isn't necessary for game play space, parts are hinted at by inaccessible doors and corridors but not fully detailed out. Like in one side mission you go exploring a lost and downed cargo vessel. The ship is huge. The interior is big too, but the only area you explore is the entrance, a living space, and a single cargo hold. You don't get access to the bridge. The ship looks like it has multiple cargo sections. The ship is much larger than the area you explore.
The area you do explore, that is set in front of you has a lot of detail put into it. Lots of junk and garbage to sift through. In places there have been battles you'll find blood smears. Occasional burnt sections. Lots of damaged stuff. Areas that were peaceful before you arrived usually look used and lived in rather than immaculate. Sometimes you find immaculate, especially in highly civilized areas like Atlantis. The longer you play, the more you'll notice recycled assets and procedurally generated content. That said, that procedurally generated content had a lot of effort put into it and it shows.
They should have just made another Fallout instead of this space trash
I think it’s safe to say…. you were never meant to fly around in deep space (in Starfield) aimlessly for hours, and hours on end, however, things do happen while you’re there!
This is why I love MxR. He brings fun to these reviews. He doesn't just go with the flow. Thank you MxR.
Go this the flow??? LOLOLOL!! Vast majority of the videos, on this shitty game, are positive. Meanwhile the metacritic reviews is positive from the websites, and a 5.1 from audience… He also modded the game to look the way it does. And not once did he show the combat in this video, which is godawful…
This game mid af
70 $ with no dlss and 40 frames in 4k with the best GPU is a complete joke. All he says is I like to explore lol. Weak review and he didn't even cover anything besides exploring.
Yes, because everyone else can't think for themselves. You watch one tiny video praising scenery and this is the horse you'll back. I don't know how you lot can't see how dumb that is.
@@dr1flush If you weren't convinced by his video, that's fine, it just means its probably not the game for you.
Still subscribed. Please keep the videos if you can! I love chilling and watching your skyrim videos while modding Skyrim myself!
I'm with him whatever happens
I got introduced to you through mxrplays like four years ago and have barely even seen your videos on this channel, so it is actually so cool seeing/hearing you be so incredibly passionate about a game and speaking like this. I'm glad I now have two very different channels of yours that I can thoroughly enjoy
hA gAy!
theres a third (although its Jeannie's) u can watch
The best, most honest, and straight forward review of Starfield. SO many people took "Skyrim in Space" as a cop out or lame reason for the way the game is. THIS is what that phrase actually means.
I haven’t even played this game. But the people that call it “Skyrim in space” as an insult or use it as a way to describe the game’s flaws or something fail to realize how awesome that description makes the game sound.
I mean, who wouldn’t want to play Skyrim set in space, traveling the universe?
I’m a huge Witcher 3 fanboy and if someone described CDPR’s next game as “it’s just Witcher 3 in space” I’d be like “tell me more….”
The “skyrim in space” crowd just show really how idiotic they sound anyway. I mean, what about the game, other than it seeming to be open world, is anything like Skyrim? Is it because, other than the space travel element, it has all the elements of an open world RPG, the same elements that literally every open world RPG has, regardless of the developer?
Just like the people that constantly compare every new MK game to Injustice, saying things like “Injustice 3 is looking lit” or “it’s just a reskinned Injustice” even though the games are nothing like Injustice other than being a fighting game.
@@uome20bukzwhen I first heard of the game I assumed it would be "Skyrim in Space," and that wasn't a bad thing to me. What that meant to me was it would have a world with the scale and level of detail of Skyrim, Fallout, etc. Another way I described what I was expecting and assumed Starfield would be was "Bethesda's take on Mass Effect." Don't get me wrong Bioware killed it with Mass Effect, but Bethesda RPGs have always given greater freedom of choice beyond Paragon or Renegade path. I remember having to abandon one of my early Morrowind playthroughs because you have the freedom to do anything, including accidentally killing a character tied to the main quest. Starfield is exactly what I expected and I'm loving ever second of it.
skyrim in space would be dope, problem is that's not what we have. It's worse than skyrim because everything is locked behind loading screens...@@uome20bukz
That's why I've been of the position that many, many computer game reviewers DON'T play the games properly for years. Not only are they bad at playing games, but they also don't utilise their intuition and play the game in unconventional manners, nor do they challenge themselves to get better at the game, play on higher difficulties or give themselves handicaps to make the gameplay more interesting. They only play a few bits of the main path or rarely experiment with hidden gameplay options. They're the sort of people who review a car by driving it down a B-road at 35 km/h for an hour before driving it back to the dealership, after complaining that the car is "boring and uninspired".
100% agree. That's the type of thing that I do, as someone with a full time job and not a ton of time for games anymore. That's not the type of thing I expect from someone whose job it is to play and review the games. Casuals shouldn't play games deeper than reviewers. @@DR3ADER1
MxR you’ve done it again. I was on the fence about starfield, but between this video and your mod reviews I’m 100% buying.
How did that work out for you?
@dead 😢
I started watching henry’s reviews since I was in college and that was 9 years ago. Seeing him review games again the way he used to hits me hard with nostalgia, it feels like it was just yesterday, and it makes me feel young again.
Honestly, you're totally right. I feel like a lot of people forget to just enjoy the game before they judge it. Same with movies, people can't just enjoy movies anymore.
I think many are just a little bit salty over it being 14 years since the last Elder Scrolls game, and this being the title that ultimately held up development. With that being said I will give this a chance, but am going to wait for it to go on sale first.
It’s crazy how similar your experience was to mine. Deep into BG3, started playing starfield, started pushing the story, and then hitting the Paradiso quest. It put me in the same headspace as the best Bethesda games and I was sold, at least for the hope of finding that experience again.
As someone who put hundreds of hours into Oblivion and accomplished nothing towards the main quest, but it's still one of my favorite sandboxes to go make some mud in. :D Star field still looks awesome.
Can't believe that after Henry's bad news about this channel earlier, this is the first time I'm watching one of his gaming videos and dude I had no idea you were so good at this. You're entertaining and insightful.
Now it's time for you to go down the rabbit hole of binging his skyrim or fallout 4 mod videos, they are so good
The modded skryim playthrough with Jeannie (if it's still up) is one of my favorite series on RUclips. The series where they play through adult games and mods is also top notch. But as stated above, the real rabbit hole it going through all the mods weekly stuff. Have fun 👍
thats the other channel @@samvakarian
@@instinctrules2969 ahh yeah you're right. But hey if you're going down the mxr mods rabbit hole that's a fun series to watch👍
I don’t want this channel to die, never ever !! You are the reason why I have so many hours spent on Skyrim and Fallout 4, countless hours trying to solve mods incompatibilities…I will always keep watching your modding videos, I even watched them when I was not playing these games and now that Starfield is out I need someone to show me the best/funny/cool/immersive mods !
I love this game and am still finding new things to do, currently have 45 hours into it and feel like I have only scratched the surface. I still haven't done any quests or joined Constellation yet just been doing side missions, exploration etc.
I've spent way more time screwing around and doing side quests, the Ryujin Industries quest line took me about 10 hours to get through, and it was a blast even though I think I shot three people the whole time. All sneaking around, industrial espionage, and verbal jujutsu.
Frankly, the main quest has been lackluster compared to the side quests, and just exploring.
@@mrsleep0000 I really liked the Ryujin quest line as well, I went to neon at level 3 I think. It was the first quests I did besides the starting Constellation quests prior to dropping off the relic. I still go back and check the mission board and take a few missions time to time.
@@mrsleep0000 "..., the main quest has been lackluster compared to the side quests, and just exploring," no one has ever said about any modern RPG, ever... until now!
Play main story until into the unknown quest… trust me
@@thebhoy8561 Ahhhh you're talking about Sarah morgan (unlocked).
I need videos like this sometimes just to highlight the coolest little thing that gets me ridiculously excited about games. Can't wait until I can play this!
This was great. I would love to see more videos on just parts of your playthrough you found interesting and fun and hearing your thoughts! Glad to have you back
Love this man's videos
One of my first channels I've followed 10 years ago, so happy that he's gonna continue his legacy with Starfield!
I've been watching this channel for years, and it's gotten me through a lot of hard times. Through all the highs and lows, life changes and challenges, you still put out my favorite content on RUclips. Welcome home Henry. It's nice to have you back friend.
Butt licking isn't cool
@@Pete_Harris Being an asshole isn't cool
I had no idea how much I missed your game videos until just now. This is excellent. Best best “I’m making coffee and watching RUclips” video joy since I was modding F4
As someone seeing only negative/mixed reviews of Starfield Mxr's video in this is so good pointing out the stuff that actually makes a bethesda game. The immersion into this game is going to be so good. Waiting for the cool mods too.
Its a great game if you want a space exploration looter shooter with a ton of customization. Its not gunna be a good game if you are expecting a full fledged RPG with great stories and characters. i think if BG3 didnt exist you wouldnt see as many negative reviews cuz when comparing the 2 starfield isnt a good RPG however what starfield does do it does it well.
@@zoogie980
Have you even played Starfield? The story and factions quests are arguably one of the best parts of the game.
It's the best "role playing game" Bethesda has ever developed. No contest. The writing is leagues ahead of Fallout 3 and 4. And the entirety of Elder Scrolls.
Mxr's humour never gets old
clearly did
@@Kronos0999how so
Truly peak humour
This side quest is peak wokeisim political correctness climate change. Girl boss it’s the problem
@@JohnSmith-zc5ox damm bots everywhere now.
This review is the most relatable and has my *EXACT* thoughts. Was definitely skeptical about it, but the side quests and other planets draws you into the immersion.
One of the best pieces of commentary post-release, from the patron saint of modded dirt no less. Looking forward to future Starfield content from you bro, the tidal wave of smut must be weighed and measured and you're the gentleman to do it.
This is EXACTLY the feeling that this game brings me
just play nomansky, its grand scale and has gotten really good tbh. I wouldn't bother with mods it'll take a while so just come back.
@@JustBuyTheWaywardsRealmsyou’re 100% right, I love NMS but it’s definitely not the same experience as Starfield. Same niche but executed very differently. Love both for the slow burn and meandering exploratory pace.
This video reminds me why I originally started watching this channel over 10 years ago! Your commentary is so engaging to listen to. Keep up the great work, Henry! Looking forward to more Starfield content.
I hope RUclips doesn’t tear you down anymore.
People tell me to play Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky instead, and while they have more seamless travel, they never have interesting stuff to actually do on planets and on space stations. The side quests with moral dilemmas, like this one, are my favourites.
For the record, I bought the colony ship a grav drive and told them to go find a better place to settle.
Henry, you're back baby!! Your presentation of this is awesome and I truly miss the old MxR days of your videos. I love your react channel with your girlfriend but dude, THIS is the content I've been craving and I hope you continue this. I can hear the passion and excitement in your voice when you created this video and I truly believe THIS is what is truly what YOU have missed as well. Keep it up bro -- we're here for it!
I didn't know i missed this kind of content till now. Welcome back Henry. We've been waiting for this one soo much and you delivered what i needed. Hope you will be able to create this kind of content from now on without youtube exposing their middle finger
no lewd content in this vid, and you still enjoyed it? Almost like Henry can make content thats not braindead clickbait.
@@EricV-lq3jq Even though the clickbait and lewd stuff got views it was his personality and how funny he was when making lewd jokes that grew his core audience.
Thank you for being here with us all these years MxR!
Respect. I haven't played it yet, and have been pretty leery about it, given the reviews. It's good to hear from someone who had a great experience and just wanted to share that with people.
First few hours are slow, but I took the time to learn the mechanics of crafting, then when you start exploring and go out looking for resources, suddenly the game really opens itself up out the wazoo. Hats off to Bethesda for trying something new. But the old magic is definitely still there.
The game is good. It has the typical BGS flaws for sure but it has definitely all the BGS qualities. I'd say it's better than Fallout 4 and close to Skyrim in more ways than one.
If you are into Bethesda games for the immersive story telling and open endedness it's definitely worth checking.
Sure a lot of things you'll find on planets is very similar content (if not pure copy paste) but so are the bandits attacking you along he road in Skyrim and the amount of actually crafted settlements and NPCs is way beyond what they ever did before (and many of it is quite good IMHO).
@@rem7502 it really doesn't suddenly "opens itself up" if you didn't like it from the beginning - no need to suffer for 10-15 hours to understand that. And Bethesda really didn't get themselves out of their comfort zone with Starfield. The worst of old jank is definitely still there.
I never really played a Bethesda game and I'm enjoying it. Facial animations give me that PS3/Xbox 360 energy, but I like the casual combat and surveying planets is pretty comfy. I think it's a chill game to just sit back and go on your own.
I feel like most of the heat this game got was because you couldn't actually fly your ship nor explore the whole planet within one landing. I mean... are you kidding? People want a game with good graphics and content to be hundreds of times larger than Minecraft. Wut?
If you go into this game expecting a space simulation? You will be disappointed. If you understand this is a RPG above anything else, you will enjoy it.
Its a solid game, but you wont be missing out if you waited a little longer for a sale.
What I loved about the game are the side story quests in the different factions.Each one of them long af and completely immersing me into a different roleplaying scenario.
I missed MXR mod content, hope there's more of these for starfield!
Dang Henry, that was quite inspirational near the end. Quite well said and done :)
7.07 minutes of my life very well spent. What a fantastic mindset you have. I so very much regret ploughing through the Paradiso timeline. breezed past the coffee shop and tea shop. Never visited the rooftop nor the "out of bounds" beach. Never even visited my room...
Makes me wonder just how much Starfield content I actually missed on my 80 hour playthrough.
Great video and excellent description of what the Starfield experience is like.
I did not remember how much you add to my enjoyment of a game. Thank you MXR.
Even though RUclips is screwing you over. It actually cause a Streisand effect for me and brought me back to this channel. Long live MxR Mods!
I didn't play skyrim, so i didn't see your mxrmods videos, but i see now why you have such a huge following on this channel. This was great!
One of the random ship encounters i had was someone telling me about my starships extended warranty
This is precisely it. I was also finding the whole- pick a system, pick a star, pick a planet, pick a city thing annoying, but yes, it does add scale to something that might otherwise lose track of it. Realizing that a tiny speck on one map is something on a scale you cannot humanly comprehend once you get there is good way to deal with the necessary existential horror of space travel.
I would not be so excited to be here experiencing starfield with y’all if it wasn’t for MxR and his multiple modding series, you fr opened my eyes to some of my favorite gaming and modding experiences I’ve ever had in my entire history of gaming ❤
I'm so happy the Algorithm brought me back to mxr. It's been years to the point I forgot about it since I stopped watching mod reviews for Skyrim back in the day. Great vid man!
As I took a smoke break while playing starfield, I was in the middle of exploring paradiso and wondered what new mods you posted, started to watch your new video and it was on paradiso 😂
Dude my biggest gripe with Skyrim and Fallout were how small the cities and towns felt. Especially Skyrim. Yeah I get to the cloud district bro, the whole town is the size of a football field... Starfield has such a huge scale, the cities are huge like the should be, ships can be huge, planets are huuuge... Really digging the game right now.
Good to have you back MxR, Keep uploading my guy, we all love your stuff.
Very well said. Exactly how I was feeling. I had just did that quest on Paradiso also.
This is exactly the experience I had when I started playing. I did like 2 main quests and then only side quests since.
Man, I love your content here and am so glad you are back. I have faith that you will be able to get and touch with RUclips and fix your monetization problem. I def don't want to see all of your old videos go away. Much love!
I love this. Would be cool if you did more game reviews in general. Your reviews always has a unique style that make me want more of them.
Missed ya, Henry. So happy to see you’re uploading here again. Hope to see more ❤
this was a great video review absolutely captured everything awesome about Startfield!
I was fully expecting this to be a joke video where you talk about "sure it has some flaws" for a bit before going "but I'm glad to announce CBBE for starfield!". But instead you pointed out something that I genuinely haven't seen anyone else talk about in their reviews. Something that you are completely correct in saying is a core part of what made Skyrim and Fallout great, and something I had forgotten. The enjoyment of the endless casual exploration. I was on the fence, but you're right, and I'm probably gonna get it soon after all.
Absolutely buy it, I’m about 30 hours in and it has been a beautiful experience just exploring and doing all the side quests that pop up along the way, there must be a huge amount of content, some side quests take hours and it’s just some random little job. I’d say grab it, mods are already starting to pour in, play it vanilla and then by the time you are done it will be a good time to mod the shit out of it
Make sure you all don't miss the Red mile while you're out there
If you want to be completely addicted and spend all your free time in a game than sure, go buy it.

@@xKontractKi11er A lot of people expected starfield to be like freelancer, but it ended up being more like outer worlds written by bethesda
@@xKontractKi11er A large portion of it is people still white knighting for Baldur's Gate 3.
People were quick to jump to the defense of Larian (a relatively smaller group of developers) after they were critiqued by other larger developers.
Bethesda is a giant AAA company. You could see this coming before release. They were primed to get criticism because they are the opposite side of the spectrum from Larian.
@@grantlawrence4600 This is it right here. 90% of the hate for Starfield has absolutely nothing to do with Starfield. It's people who have clowned on BGS games for years but never actually played one (because of they did - *gasp* - they might like it!) and people who want to sh*t on every non-indie dev they see.
I played 9 hours on launch day (which was 2 days ago, not 8 days ago, that was pre-launch) and encountered a single minor graphical bug (the same "NPCs not looking at you during dialogue" bug that every BGS game has always had) and that was all. It was an amazing and utterly flawless experience. I didn't go to bed until 10:30 in the morning. It has ruined my sleep schedule this entire week and I am so happy it has. More to the point, this is the most bug-free launch Bethesda has ever had, I think, so everyone saying it's "full of bugs" is a moron.
Last night I was jumping into random systems trying to find some pirates to kill to rank up my Piloting skill, and this space trucker who I'm 80% sure was drunk started warning me about pirates and a distress call in another system. So I go there, and embark on an whole ass quest arc. It had like 6 quests, each with several objectives, and took me 3 hours to finish. And it was AWESOME! I saved a war hero, kept one of the few xenobiology labs in known space that wasn't dedicated to making weapons from falling into pirate hands, and made a big step encouraging continued peace between the UC and LC. And I had the option to resolve that quest several other ways. AND THIS WAS ONE SIDE QUEST!
BG3 may be GOTY material but Starfield has it beat, as far as I'm concerned. The fact that half of RUclips can't stop complaining about it says a lot about that half of RUclips and nothing about Starfield.
Total Immersion mode, only use the cockpit not the menus to travel. Always get a warp cutscene.
I’m loving starfield. Im literally 29 hours into the game and i’ve done 1 or 2 main quests… (i’m not sure, i did that mission where you join Constellation, and i haven’t done anymore past that)
yeah i liked this paradiso quest line, theres another quest that I REALLY enjoyed where an "outpost" was invaded by spacers and then their long time ex-rival faction decided to help them but of course they couldn't deal with it themselves so I had to help and kill all the spacers. that one was really cool, it came from a distress call also
God MXR, you get it. You are the king of immersion. You and Todd are so in sync. And yeah Mods will fix the game.
Before I say anything. I Love This game I got 60hrs in and enjoyed every minute of it. However!
Saying Mods will fix the game doesnt Excuse that this game has the problem it has. Like what MXR said in the video.
@@thorrezz9778 I agree but to play Bethesda's advocate. I understand where they are coming from, you spend practically years of hardwork creating a game. And have managed to refine to a point where the broader audiences would like it, but the game itself is away from a perfect state.
And as such, you have the dillema to take some flak but get a wave of praise. Or chip away for who knows how long till the stuff is perfectly refined. The studio must have felt soar after waiting for this long, so they slammed the release button and called it quits.
@@mustafao09008 You dont' need to play "Bethesda's advocate". They have enough blind fanboys simping for them already lol.
@@mustafao09008 Yep they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Idea and some Execution were solid and great.
But I think the Engine is severely holding Bethesda back. Either they could've upgrade it again, then again idk how much they could make this aging engine better.
Or Delayed Starfield again, Which would suck for everybody.
@@thorrezz9778people hate loadscreens in Bethesda games but it is probably what allowed to make this big city. I was sad I had 80 fps on my 3090. Then I remembered that I had 30 fps in first mission in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor regardless of settings (big location too but without so many NPCs). Hogwarts legacy was slow too, even in small locations.
That's Unreal engine and Unity should be even slower
Glad to have you back i missed your content!
I don't like videos often, but yours clearly are the one that deserves it!
I completely agree, I have 40 hours and I’ve not touched the main quest and I’ve only explored about 5 star systems and I’ve got loads of quests still that I’ve avoided, and I haven’t touched any faction quests either. I haven’t built my own ship or built an outpost or done any of that stuff yet, and I’m looking forward to it. This game is massive and there is so much to do. Todd was right when he said the more you put into it the more you get out of it
11 hours in and I just stepped foot on new atlantis
That last sentence is key
I'm on NG+ 2 right now. Main Quest was wonderful, best from Bethesda ever. Once I do the remaining romances then I will do my big big playthrough. Gonna do nearly everything like in depth ship and outpost building and the wild amount of side content. And be an evil pirate. I love this game, I can't wait for you all to finish the main quest, it is well worth it. But don't rush if you don't want to, there's lots to do.
Its very very frontloaded.
Looks huge and expansive til you realize theres only about 1/4 the amount of unique sidequests as skyrim, and the rest are just recursive autogenerated quests.
Its much more formulaic that you are going to realize 50+ hours in.
I suspect the "this is the most handcrafted content we've ever done in our game" is going to be yet another Todd special little lie checkbox in the coming months of scrutiny.
@@117johnpar Source on the sidequests thing?
it struck me that if starfield and x4 foundations were merged, it would be one of the most amazing games ever.
Glad you enjoyed your experience. Does this mean we will be seeing future Starfield Mod reviews?
I hope they do improve/fix its issues. I'd like to play it, but I hear its taxing on the pc
I've already played over 100+ hours of the game at this point and this video not only put into words some of the things I couldn't, but gave me some new things to think about. Well done, mmoxreview, you've given me some new things to think about.
this was the content that drew me to your channels in the first place(back with skyrim) glad to be on this journey with you again!
Your view and description is very refreshing! I'm loving the game with all the jank and glitches. It really makes me feel comfortable and quite at home to be honest... I've pretty much been doing nothing but sidequests and getting back to the main story every so often, but I can't wait to build a base.
its so nice to have something to look forward to again within the week! welcome back buddy
Love having you around MxR 💕

"I like to explore"... ya really profound stuff
@@dr1flush nice paraphrase. Watch the whole video.
@@wolfer1011 lol i did🤦
@@dr1flush then you'd know that's not what I'm talking about.
@@wolfer1011 are you being sarcastic? This review is not profound at all. It's shallow
I think part of the reason why reviews are so lukewarm on this game is because reviwers are trying to rush through it to finish the review. But Starfield seems to be game that rewards you in the moments where you slow down and get lost. I haven't played starfield yet but rdr2 was very similar in this way.
yeah but the issue is rdr2s main story is one of a kind and so is the game world. starfields story is really laid back and kind of old school for the year 2300. people expected 10/10 generational game but starfield is just 7/10. once you play the game you will understand the reviews. not a lot of memorable characters or voice acting (maybe the VAs work gets lost because of the lack of good cutscenes, facial motions, or character design as most characters look soft as a babys bottom.) the open world compared to rdr2 is basically dead as npcs dont react to the player in meaningful ways and they just stand there with no thoughts or emotions behind their poorly rendered faces. you will NEVER find interesting characters or locations in starfield besides side quests or main quests because everything else is just reused buildings filled with "outlaw", "pirate", "spacer" with no narrative. sorry for the long comment. i was just going through and saw rdr2 being compared to this game and lost my shit. its a cool little upgrade from fallout 4s settlement system if you liked that bit
@@MrWeenuk21I actually found myself comparing it to rdr2 as I played. Not in terms of how rdr2 paid attention to tiny details like people eating food and stuff, but rather in terms of finding NPCs and places spread in a vast world, and waiting to be found. Rdr2 accomplished it with great streamlined stories, intricate voice acting and memorable characters, but Starfield accomplishes the same feeling for me with deep lore, environmental storytelling and purposeful gaps that you can fill with head canon. They both capture the charm of exploration imo.
Going through the ECS (Earth Colony Ship) Constant's quest line, and its lore, has probably been one of my favorites so far. The idea that they set out into space 200 years before this game's story takes place, and then humanity's technology leap frogged them, and got humans out to the Constant's destination before them, is such a mind trippingly awesome idea.
I think a very similar scenario plays out in a Star Trek episode. Can’t remember which one (might be several), but it’s cool nonetheless.
The colony ship is what got me hooked aswell ^~^ Hope I'll find more stuff like this! But the Deputy/Ranger Questline for the Freestar Collective already was worth my money aswell 😅
Welcome back!! this is the mxr I was waiting to come back! the mod reviewer with the commentary the way only you can do!
We get Starfield and MXR in the same year?! I can die happy now lol Great to see you back Henry! I missed these vids more than you could know! You are the reason I started modding 10 years ago! 🍻
Its good to have you back doing mod videos. Been watching your stuff since the start and its always a good time. How about some BG3 mods?
frankly looking at base game I am SUPER excited to see what mods will come out
"why not check out fallout 4 mods weekly?" Ah yes, the fallout 4 mod called 'starfield'. Haha love ya man, and looking forward to mods weekly, already watch the first one even tho i dont have it yet
Im actually so stoked to have you back making videos.
Henry got his mojo back , reminds me of old Skyrim gameplay with commentary. i missed this!
I appreciate the honesty man. Subscribed.
The fact that you can still see Skyrim and fallout 4 through the cracks of the engine is so perfect and one of the reasons I love Bethesda's games so much.
So glad you're back MXR!
It's one of my favorite things about Bethesda: Not changing good work that's already been done, if it's not necessary. Sometimes their view of "good work" is skewed (like the facial animations), but even that has it's charm.
Well, yeah, it's just Fallout 5 in space. I guess, if you like more or less, from those same games, than it's a safe play. But, with more bigger scaling scope in Star field, in my opinion.
The only reason I stuck around Bethesda games are the mods, anyway and not much else. Lol.
@@reptarien Wooden, lifeless NPCS, new loading screens for every door and being a buggy mess = "just part of the charm! Hope they never change it!"
Good lord, Bethesda fanboys are truly the most brainless in gaming, which is really saying something.
@@CosmicAeon you think I don't have numerous problems with the game? I've played Cyberpunk, Enderal, and Baldurs Gate 3. I hate how Bethesda does their character writing and storytelling now that I've seen competent writers do it. I'm still enjoying the game, because there's more to a game than that!
Could you maybe stop being such an inflammatory prick and think about the fact that *maybe* there can be more than just "game awful" and "game masterpiece 10/10"??
thats not a good thing lil bro
I hope you can monetize content on this channel soon! Been here for forever and hope this channel returns to glory. I'm sure the MxR army is gonna stay strong with you even if you have to refrain from Slooty content. You got this bro!
I didn't even know he was still using this channel until the video he made about possibly having to delete all his videos showed up on my youtube home screen.. Thought it was for the other channel for a second.. Then I realized I was never subscribed to his mod channel lol..
yt may have unsubbed u@@lololollololol629
Probably the best review I have seen because you gave people a glimpse into what the game actually is, and what it feels like. I completey agree with your comments and views on it. Well done.
I love how you over look the big ass ship in space side quest and touch down to find a different side quest about coffee shop and tea shop beef 😂
Honestly it would be nice if there was a list of destinations with settlements on the map screen. I personally forgot where Hopetown was once and I had to spend a couple minutes trying to find the right system with it.
Facts. I had to Google places where was trying to go back to. It’s an okay game but much can be improved. I give it a solid 7/10.
An in game wiki would be nice. Mount and Blade Bannerlord had this and it was super simple and handy. It also be very lore friendly to have a wikipedia you build on. They could even make a computer you can manually access it from on your ship for those immersive as fuck urges.
This was the exact type of quick, down to earth review that the community needs.
If somebody wants a hour+ video essay to find out if they should play a game, they're thinking way too hard about it.
Nah I disagree, nothing wrong with people watching and enjoying hour+ reviews. Especially if it’s to decide whether they should spend triple A+ price for it these days, money is valuable. Tho yea reviews like this are pretty nice too
@@Junya01 You'll judge any book by its cover.
It was pure subjective biased assay. Actually, the community needs fair pros and cons review, so it could save their money till the game is patched and got a discount. $70-100 for the beta build. Nice try Bethesda, but not on my watch
@@FutaCatto2 what do you mean
@@maksim9612 game pass.
Also, he pretty clearly gave pros and cons. You just evidently couldn't understand them without it being formatted in a list
I was expecting an average game with microtransaction. But man Starfield is so amazing, breath taking, the way the content is presented to you is super immersive. Guys, Bethesda did it again.
Holy shit I didn’t know i needed this from Henry. I think we need that in depth MXR review.. the video is structured amazing I feel cozy for some damn reason.
loved your review. people nowadays are focusing on to many small things we never would have worried about in the past and completely blowing them up so im glad to see a review that isn't all that you answered the question, is it fun and worth the money, yes and for most xbox users its free. the other side of reviews are people complaining about things todd never said were in the game.
I hope MxR can make more fun content and I'm sorry about the stress of the channel...best of luck and wish you and girl friend the best love the content been apart of my life ever since I wanted to learn how to mod Skyrim .
Thank you for the hours of laughter and information you've provided!
Completely agree, I think the advice flying around the internet was to grind the story asap. Which from my experience is wrong. I picked up a side quest to get iron. Went to a random moon to collect it and ended up in an abandoned facility that turned into a huge dungeon with lots of loot. Came out of that, found a ship that landed, turned out to be mercs. Stole their ship, and got a ton of stuff out of it. Game really shines when you step off the beaten path and innate humor in the game is top notch. BG3 is still my favorite though :D
“I have done absolutely fff-Jack all for the last hour” 😆
Great to see you uploading😊
Come on, Henry, with those full frontal insight thoughts and quality in game design in Starfield you can be a pro game reviewer... very good vid...
I think the immersion would have been on point if you had cinematics for planet entries from space and could jump through systems and planet landings from the cockpit. The system is there since you can on occasions do it with the scanner, all they have to do is refine it further.
Last night I got right where you are and had the same experience. I am that other guy looking at the sunset with the same the thought. This is the review I'm showing my friends
