Slopfield

It has been 1 year 8 months and 20 days since Starfield's release Todd's dream game. I'm assuming since I never hear anything about it that even a modding community couldn't save it.

How does this make you feel for TES6?

still better than avowed or tainted grail, could have been saved/fixed, but bethesda has major hubris and wont ever bother to fix it

If Starfield's his dream game then goddamn he's an incredibly boring person.

TES has a whole lot of lore and stories they can use as a guide. Shit field is just a problem of creativity. Technically its fine minus the empty planet exploration.

There are no good Bethesda games, they lucked out in the same way Rockstar did by offering open world gameplay when nobody else was doing that. Now that being open world isn't enough they can't compete.

Yup, this was literally his magnum opus. The one thing he has always wanted to do and now the tech was up to snuff so his grand vision could be created.

But is it better than KCD2

How does this make you feel for TES6?

TES6 is fucking doomed. All signs point to it. Forget improving anything, they can't even replicate the original Skyrim anymore.

I think it's probably going to be OK?

It'll have gameplay improvements, it won't suffer from the fucked exploration Starfield had unless they make you go through a loading screen to get on your horse or something.

The lore should be okay, they seem to draw from it constantly to keep TESO running.

I kinda hope they let you do some nigger sword magic instead of rehashing shouts again, or just don't have a gimmick chosen one mechanic this time instead and let you RP and put off the main quest like you could in older games.

Technically fine

Ugly environments

Ugly NPCs

Downgraded reactivity

Loading screens

Lol

starfield was a disappointment
skyrim was a disappointment
oblivion was a disappointment

no i am not enthusiastic about tes6

No one in Bethesda has a finger in ESO it's run by Zenimax people who have never even set foot in Rockville, Maryland.

Cuck field graphics are fine. Name a Bethesda game without loading.

first and third person

character creator

be in base

sort out gear and grab what you need

open map and pick location or quest

head out

2 minutes later something to fight

2 minutes later something to explore

2 minutes later something to interact with

2 hours later

you completed 2 quests

explored 1 dungeon

looted 2 new pieces of gear

encountered a new companion

now you are at your target location to do what you actually wanted to do

do the thing

you've played the game for 4 hours and return to your base

do some maintenance, eat, sleep, head out again

If they can get this right and fill the world with enough content it's going to sell 50 million copies.

But they looks like a shitty unity project

But Bethesda

They could've done a better job at reducing them and using more smoke and mirrors instead of lazy loading screen

ES6 will be an unparalleled shitpile even worse than Starfield with no new ideas or technologies and even fewer natively English-speaking designers. It'll be more outsourced, less refined, full of every negative trapping of low budget production.

Why is that an issue? I have no problems with starfied tech. It's the monotony and terrible game design. Doing the carnival jumping through hoops quest for magic space cuck powers infinite amount of times that triggers me. Not Vlad being a Russian nigger with 3 voice lines.

fill the world with enough content

That's "not their job, honey" in case you forgot everything since Fallout 4. They give you a shitass minecraft mode with none of the tools of that game while they sit like an effendi and eat.

There actually is a pretty robust modding community. The problem is that they are all in the Creation Club. Starfield launched with the Creation Club in mind and integrated and Bethesda won because the free and open modding community is an absolute shambles.

You know damn well ES6 is going to do the same.

Why is that an issue?

People expect better from one of the biggest studios in business with basically infinite resources at their disposal

Yes, why do any work when you can foist it all onto shit tier hobbyists who'll be your microtransaction slaves?

honestly yeah. kcd2 was massively disappointing going full woke and cucked the main character
atleast in starfield they didnt make you out to be a giant cuck who gets fucked in the ass

It's the best selling new IP of the generation and we just got a massive mod where you can call in orbital strikes and has an extensive quests to go along with it.

There actually is a pretty robust modding community.

Really? What are they doing
I see little to no SF modding discussion or content

Expect what? I never expected Bethesda to be the bastion of cutting edge graphics and technology. Starfield sucks ass but it's not be cause of muh loading screens or stuttering.

But they did it in Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Only Starfield fucked that up with their empty planets.

Cope.
SF is literal dog turd with the ugliest NPCs and locations imaginable
You are giant cuck for playing that dogshit game

Look at the most popular shit. Spacesuits and ports of guns.
nexusmods.com/games/starfield

You can have a fleet now. Star wars fans are making full on recreations of tatooine and mos eisley that you can download right now.
The modding community is healthy and thriving actually.

If it was from any other studio
It would've been a massive disaster.
it only sold because of Bethesda's name

90% of the people who made Skyrim and Fallout 4 aren't there anymore, dumb-dumb, they were replaced with fucking Indians and Chinese at contracted third parties.

They are a part of it.
Stop pretending no one cares about all that.
Also yeah design and writing is also dogshit.
We got little to no starfield character threads

Oh boy you can terrorize the dogshit NPCs in New Atlantis any sane person would disable in the ini to save on memory

no coping here kiddo. starfield atleast stuck to its vision
KCD2 is a cucked hackjob continuation of kcd1 which is vastly superior. they ruined the franchise, starfield was a single game, it didnt retroactively ruin anything like kcd 2 did turning henry into a faggot

Why are they running towards the explosion?

Okay, but..
The Indiana Jones game was cool

It's a lot like the Megalopolis/Coppola situation, too much time in the oven and no people in a position to push back is a recipe for disaster.

They're non-AI NPCs following their patrol markers

Keep crying.
KCD2 is miles better than saarsfield

No they aren't. I have no issues with Morrowind/Skyrim/oblivion graphics at all. I'll replay that shit every 1 to 2 years. Faggot field is just bad, no need to bring in technology incompetence into it at all.

star wars fans are busy turning starfield into their dream star wars RPG and they're making great progress

Dude they had Starfield in pre-production for 8 years. Todd himself said the game wasn't "fun" until late 2020. Management and leadership literally didn't know what to do with the game until the very end. Wouldn't be surprised if the game, at one point, was a space racer or a cargo sim. If they had figured the game out 2-3 years sooner and instead spent that time on content creation those same street shitters could have made space worth exploring.

technology incompetence

why not , bethesda needs to do better, at least mask it better

Bethesda was busy fixing fallout 76's disastrous launch for half those years.

I don't care what you're saying is irrelevant to the situation which is that NO ONE NEW has been hired at Bethesda that would magically produce a turnaround in Elder Scrolls 6. Absolutely no one.

They haven't touched it since 2018 you idiot, that's all the Austin people.

ok youre just a faggot then, got it

every aspect of kcd 2 is significantly worse than kcd 1

Yes but it was all of bethesda's studios busy fixing fallout 76 for years after launch before they could sit down and work on starfield.

LIES

false
a lot of things are much better.
even at it worst it's much better than the dogshit starfield is
you are a bethesda cocksucker

Never played avowed but I have played like 40 minutes of tainted grail (waiting for 1.0 to do more), tainted grail actually having a half decent count of equipment slots already makes it better than Starfield.

bethesda was a small group of modders

they made some cool games

the studio got too big

people started to expect more

bethesda is stuck back in 2000

all their new gams are shit

and no other studio is taking advantage of it

With Elder Scrolls they at least have a framework, for Starfield they had nothing. ES6 is going to be one zone, one country, a bunch of towns and cities and dungeons and shit. They have no excuse to not know what to do with that. They literally only have to fill it with stuff to kill/loot/explore.

They're not going to.

ackshually it's not that bad

and no other studio is taking advantage of it

Yeah when it comes to moddable games I don't think Bethesda really has competition least if you go by how many mods there are on sites like Nexus. One could say CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077 but most mods on there are clothes the modding kit isn't robust like GECK/Creation Kit.

If we had to list priorities loading and stutter isn't why I play Bethesda games. This shit could run on a playdate or a game boy as long as the world is intertwined. If I dropped a dagger 3 years ago on my farm on planet Faggatron Prime got rusty and some homeless guy reminded me of it. While connecting me to the hyperdimensional god quest that upgrades that dagger to a soul stealer 3000. That's what makes TES fun.

Bethesda is still the same 200 people at it's core, definitely the smallest developer around for the games the make.

90% of the people who made Skyrim and Fallout 4 aren't there anymore, dumb-dumb

The people who say shit like this really highlight that they have no fucking idea what they're talking about. Bethesda has ludicrously high employee retention, most of the people who worked on fucking Morrowind are still there. Bethesda is one big old boys' club, people don't leave.

when the NPCs reflect the developer demographic

i am just saying with current day tech, they could've done a better job
but they are incompetent in every aspect that's not shilling

tes6 wont be skyrim

whataboutism

Starfield is a kino game and i'm glad more people are coming around to appreciate it.

lol thanks for leaning into the reality that the management hasn't changed in decades thus there's no reason to expect more out of them

You're gonna have Emil supervise and write everything and you're gonna like it.

copes

worse thieving

worse combat

worst performance

worse writing

worse plot

worse dialog

go sit down faggot like the cuck you are cumans are talking you bitch ass, they are mad they didnt paid enough to murder your family and rape your girlfriend

There are a few things I liked about it (mainly that you can disable ships and board them for firefights which I never done in a space game before) however the procgen, side quests and story are not great. Skyrim's story wasn't great either but it was still league's better than Starfield's and Starfield's DLC was not Dawnguard or Dragonborn tier.

you are a pathetic dishonest faggot, doing all this to defend turdfield even tainted grail is better than that crap

They already said Starfield is getting ported to the PS5 later this year, with them putting the new DLC and patches into it, we'll get a lot of starfield threads later this year with a new audience that will appreciate it.
