Oh yeah, that happened

Jeez, and I thought I got screwed paying $40.

people ate this garbage up in 2015 making failout 4 the most successful bethshit game to date
why would they change the "winning formula"? hindsight is king obviously

the case is actually really cool but the watch is lame

If corporations were competent they would have seen these memes and immediately started working on a horror game
Capitalism is a fucking farce.

Someone post the one with the guy floating and going to sleep

makes you wonder how much they paid for their shills

Steam still has it for $130 but my local game store has it in the discount/rejects section for $20 lmao.
Still not worth it. The game is complete unmitigated ass.

Small indie dev has 1500 individually hand-made POIs that can appear in huge procedurally generated maps

Multi billion dollar company with 1000s of employees struggle to make more than a dozen POIs

Yeah but I can't fuck the zombies in 7 Days to Die

saarfield

One of the best games of the generation in a sea of slop. Starfield was incredible.

Do you guys think Bethesda is fucking embrassed by this game?

Indifference

I honestly haven't seen a bit of fan art, positive discussions, or any organic support for the game. Outside maybe redditors taking screenshots of craters on empty boring planets

Why would they be? it's the best selling game of the generation.

I honestly haven't seen a bit of fan art, positive discussions, or any organic support for the game.

we get daily threads talking about how good the game is and a lot of nice things it's done well. It's left it's mark on the world.

What are the chances that TES6 will be good after Fallout 4 and Starfield? I wanna stay optimistic they were absolute dogshit

I still think about this image sometimes

I ALWAYS laughed when I made screenshots like picrelated. I laugh now when I look at them again!

Garbage for the first 10 hours

Okay to pretty good between 10 and 30 hours

Garbage again at 30+ hours

And another one

And another one!

Very high considering how Starfield was a huge improvement over their previous games and they took a lot of effort into reinserting deeper RPG mechanics back into it. Also the rest of starfield is pretty much bethesda at their best. The only issue is the planet exploration but they cannot do 1000 planets for TESVI and have it be a static open world so it'll no doubt be great.

dayum yteboy

No tiddie mods
No buy

Join the pirates

Amount of enemies in the game halves

shit

there are tiddie mods out now

why do they all do this

You may have noticed by now but people only make mods for games they actually like

My theory is that it was poorly implemented at first but left like that on purpose in the hopes that it would be funny in the same way oblivion is
It's not

They massively revamped the procgen characters and the lighting engine after launch. I'd really like to know how broken the game was before Microsoft intervened.

It's just a really bland game
The gameplay is dull
The dialogue is sleep inducing
The story is uninteresting
The setting is uninspired
The RPG mechanics are badly designed
And there isn't a single likeable character in the game

Are they any good?

They haven't fixed anything, the game still runs like shit and the npc procgen still look like abominations.

Oh wow, a thread in the contrarian termite mound where some contrarians say an objectively shit game is actually really good.

I could muster a retard to defend Naughty Bear in this shitswamp.

It's unironically going to be less remembered than Concord in 10 years

I pirated it and I am still mad I wasted time on it

you havent been paying attention they overhauled a lot of the engine in the past year and we're still seeing massive improvements in the latest patch

Skyrim did when you get up in their grills but usually they will back off. They didn't have a bad case of sanpaku eyes that was a recent addition.

I just like good games. Starfield is up there with Expedition 33 as my favourite games this generation.

the gameplay isnt bad in isolation, it just doesnt help theres like 1 real enemy type in the game which is a human wearing a space suit + some fauna you can ignore

Dialogue I skipped a lot or I would've quit the game before finishing the main story.
The story is alright, nothing offensively bad.
The setting has issues in few differnet aspects. It's mostly boring human stuff with no deep culture and edges sanded off. No aliens. Then they have issues like people just hanging in a space house and pretend its normal which is stupid.
The leveling is kinda lame with how you cant freely choose anything as it requires grinding shit to be able to get next level.
All characters suck I agree.

WHY IS EVERY CHARACTER A SUBHUMAN MUTT AHHHHHHHH

Todd decided make another push for paid mods and killed SaarField.

spoiler

So did I.

What about the digusting looking npcs?
Some dude said the same thing to me a while ago, saying that they looked better, I installed the game hoping to see some change, but these demons where still there with their uglyness in full display.

american game stupid chud

Just dont go to new atlantis, it's full of niggers because it's the globohomo capital of the galaxy.

The hate is unwarranted, I think. I'm having a blast playing it. It's genuinely a great game. They made a few mistakes (frequency of POIs being generated mainly) but I sunk hours into it, the main story and all facti ah fuck it

why would you play this game after launch

because it's fun, it's not like there are better games to come out in the past 2 years since then. I'm also a huge fan of space games and there's only elite dangerous or star citizen around and both are barebones compared to starfield.

Bethesda as a whole no, I can imagine that 99% of the employees there are extremely proud of what they've produced since none of them have any experience playing other video games for a frame of reference
Todd however is most certainly disappointed by it, or at least by the reception it got

Accidental horror kino

No.
You like games that make you feel good.
That's fine, but don't act like your good feelings trump the fact that the game is as boring as a dog turd that hasn't turned white.

I read this and thought this was the Tainted Grail thread.

God forbid someone likes fun video game that are fun.

The difference here is Oblivions sketchy AI was considered pretty impressive mechanically at the time, even if the results were unintentionally hilarious. Now it's just Bethesda showing they can't figure out how to refine the system they themselves created.

I played the game long enough to be at one click away from going through the unity shit and be a super human, there is no fucking reason to return to this game if there is no pleasure in it, I don't want to see these demons anymore, even for a few seconds, I want to know that they are not there anymore, I hate the uglyness of most of the npcs in this game.
They feel like shit, they are soulless, they look gay, they are all uncool.
I think theres not even one cool character, except the evil super human, all the rest is lame.
The whole random encounters, exploration and point of interest are fucking boring as hell.
No variety at all, the planets feel flat and there is no reason to explore, the mining sucks, flying with your spaceship sucks, there's nothing to do as side activities except some fucking basic go destroy this spaceship and get money.
I could add alot more to the list, there's something really wrong with this game and it feels like they added unncesary bad aspects to this game for no reason, looks like self sabotage, or genuine bad taste.

This is not accidental.
This is manufactured horror and it is not kino.

the gameplay isnt bad in isolation

Yes it is because you can't go prone

Did this game even get NPC enhancer mods and CBBE?

Only good thing Bethesda's ever done is and always will be Morrowind.

starfield is cozy

It really fucked them over after F4, see F76 and Starfield. They expect the building mechanics as an excuse for the empty worlds in F76 and Starfield.

The game is fine for the first 10-20 hours.

said literally no one ever

Loading screens killed it for me

space is inherently comfy

implying

This is too "Earthy", where are the strange plants, strange things?
Where are the fun strange apparitions of little greys, where are the space saucers?
This shit is fucking boring as hell, zero creativity.

it can go both ways

Play No Man's Sky its the other extreme from this.

man we got unironic starfield fans
people give a lot of shit to fromfags and nin- toddlers but Bethesda and literally make one of the shittiest game ever made and beth fags will defend it

Starfield is objectively unfun.
I already said there's nothing wrong with you enjoying a bad game, I like Year One and that's an objectively bad movie. I'm not gonna say it's good, but I'm gonna say I enjoy it.

I'm not gonna act like I'm the fucking barometre of taste, and neither are you.

No Man's Sky is more creative, with more pretty alien vistas, but I just can't play it because of the gameplay/control, the way it feels, it's the same since the begining, I just can't.
I just enjoy playing in creative mode and just explore until I don't care anymore and uninstall the game, I just go in and out from time to time.
But man, this gameplay is wanky, also the music is not my jam, it hurts my ears.
The music in Starfield is better, except for the one where there's this fucking voice singing like those repulsive muslim call to prayer with shitty loudspeakers, disgusting, I can't stand earing this.

The setting, lore and writing is about as uninspired and uninteresting as you could possibly get. Emil really outdid himself.

just find some aliens, theyre pretty good

game is a complete shitshow with countless actual problems

Anon Babble just spergs out about some of the literal random background NPCs looking ugly at some angles instead

One of the dumbest arcs in this board's entire history.

You will buy it again and you know it.

It's because they make for funny webms, retard. Nobody wants to watch a webm of the loading screen simulator unless it's sped up 10x and even then those webms already exist.

starfield special edition is unironically a day 1 buy

this is v dude
we never talk about anything interesting or indepth
if you wanna talk about game design you should go to.... ummmm ahhhh well..
idk i wish there was a place purely about game design

muh webms

No, it's because the retards left on this board are inbred faggots and GENUINELY think the problem is the non-NPCs that you don't interact with. Literal subhumans that genuinely care about the characters first and foremost in a space exploration RPG. See posts like

I don't understand, they made these randomized creature stuff that can shit out some alright results fromt ime to time, but nothing interesting for planets and flora, no fucking mineral formations, nothing, flat and boring.

at that point just colony drop

fun video game

Starfield was created by committee to be as unfun as possible on earth. The loading screens. The mechanics. The characters. The painfully empty planets. The Bethesda tier quests. The loading screens. The 8 POIs literally copy pasted in every planets. The loading screens. The painfully stupid and retarded backstory. The useless space combat. Almost everything in this game is borked.

Starfield is the end of the road for Bethesda, that started with Oblivion. Every game a little bit dumber. Every game a little bit more retarded. Fallout 4 was the game where the dumb overtook the good so much it was when even the most calm and fanatic of Bethesda fans started saying "nuh-uh, no, you shouldn't go there". Of course people will tell you Oblivion was the game where it went bad, or Skyrim, or Fallout 3, and all of them would be right - but Fallout 4 is when the Bethesda formula became (genuinely) unsustainable.

And then they made a game that is ten times worse than Fallout 4. You're not playing Starfield. You're enduring it. For a time, depending on your patience.

I thought it was going to be like Skyrim IE patched to hell and back so it becomes fun and then people mod it so becomes great but none of that shit happened. I dropped it 15 hrs in

so apparently they randomized the characters look from a dataset, they were so lazy they didn't bother to manually craft the looks of the average npc

just keep looking bro

can die at anytime

completely reliant on technology to even breathe, let alone not freeze to death or get back home

fucking micro dust getting everywhere

days are nothing but work to make sure everything is working correctly (fucking dust is not helping)

yeah comfy sure

try forums.unrealengine

weren't there like a ton of starfield bug compilations on youtube? i can't find anything over 5min and retarded reviews, i just wanna watch some niggers flying

it was all filmed on Earth

It is THE problem that prevents ME from returning to this game, because I can play shitty games, I can find some pleasure in it if it is comfy enough.
Starfield is a shitty game in itself, but if you add some more unnecessary layers of shit (repulsive NPCs) then it becomes even harder to enjoy this shitty game.
It could be music, design choices etc..., it's personnal, the deal-breaker for ME is the fucking uglyness of the whole npcs.

all the while shooting shit with your bros with the most spectacular views anyone alive has ever seen

This is exactly what I said, they put some work in those creatures, but nothing in the planet and flora, all the planets look like Earth with some randomized creatures.

Do you actually think space is real...?

uh it's real because my uncle worked at nasa back in the day

scamsa

Not helping your cause there

crazy considering the concept art

Exactly, this is obvious to me, something is fucked, it's painfully obvious that this game is actually more than unfinished.

Imagine AAA no man's sky with good combat and fun quests
We got robbed bro with this bland nasapunk bullshit

Todd's vision of aping everything that is popular right now, which is the vision of having no vision. Why Oblivion is a standard fantasy flare. Why Skyrim is nords and dragons. We're just copying what _x_ is popular right now.

The cyberpunk city in Starfield was literally created because Cyberpunk 2077 was popular (though without the sex, drugs, and good quests, because those are divisive). The cowboy city was not a cowboy city originally but a pretty good concept, I don't remember the story, but basically Todd just said "yeah make it a cowboy city because it's cool".

I say Todd but I mean the entire creative team, which are basically parrots, retards, and sometimes parrots and retards.

Do shills still try and defend this utter slop?

God I hate how NASApunk is in vogue right now. This and Marathon look so fucking boring

cyberpunk

good quests

nice joke

I finished starfields main story but I dont think I'll ever touch the studios future games.
The fact they decided to cut each room into different areas requiring loading screens is indicative of something very wrong with the leadership team.
Literally the single worst game design decision I can think of.

that being said you can still find some neat places

Not for a long time, no.
Retrofuturism needs to come back.

Did they even keep updating it or did they just straight up abandon it?

you forgot

complete hell of radiation without an atmosphere protecting you

still hyped for elder scrolls 6?

No. I feel pretty vindicated now that elder slop has fallen out of favor (oblivion always sucked and skyrim is just for rape mods).

I just want to see syd mead's vision come to love.
Like are actual creative concept artist dead or it's because of jeets being unable to make anything 3d that's not realistic copy of shit

oh yeah, that happened

retrofuturism is literally new atlantis

orbital strike/fleet command dlc launched last week
youtube.com/watch?v=EfUYze6xDVU

even the lesbian is questioning her existence

It looks cool, but it is Earth, the colors, the fucking roots...
I say it's just Earth, but Earth actually has even more alien stuff than what Starfield shitted out.
Enjoy your time with the game, if you find pleasure in searching for cool stuff, good, but I've been burned out badly, I just can't, knowing what they could easily fix and that they don't...

I actually love Starfield. Still need to hop on and do Shattered Space though. Probably gonna do a new toon.
Is Watchtower worth it bros?

yes, you get a nice questline with good writing and VA, new pois, space station base, orbital strikes ODST Mechs you can call in for support and a fleet manager where you can assign different npcs to crew and pilot your different ships

I tried to play the game with an open mind, but once I reached the city and saw all the npcs it just killed my interest, they're genuinely just so ugly, unappealing, and boring, it's incredible how little variation there is and how the vast majority of them are hideous, wrinkly skinwalkers, this is not doing an anti woke, race, skin color bullshit thing, they just played so painfully safe with this game, I simply can't believe how ugly the nameless npcs are, they're genuinely the ugliest there's ever been.

This was a good game. Not every game needs to be skyrim or gta

literally spectacular. literally.

There's just nothing cool that makes up for it, elder scrolls and fallout games have crazy, secret stuff going on, even 76 has interesting things to find, but this game is just so painfully boring and safe it pisses me off

he didnt find the secret cloning facility

Yes, my anaconda do be like that, I call it a magic club, because it's like a magic wand, but thicker and magically turns lesbians into straight girls

unappealing, and boring

The whole game is like that. They couldn't even make any of the story characters even remotely interesting. The meme "they talk like HR is in the room" applies to every single dialogue in the game

Skyrim is a piece of shit game, and starflop is even worse. This comes from someone who has played each for more than 100 hours, picrelated. I really tried to like them both. I really did. But they're fucking garbage, and starshit is the worst

its getting better

Reminder that a patch added a bounty storyline to the game. The first mission is in the game, the rest have to be bought. Thank you Todd "The God" Howard for your amazing games sold at very fair prices.

sorry Anon Babble but you have no say in this, the critics will dictate the future of gaming

Id want to ask each of those reviewers "so how did you like the loading screens and all characters being cardboard?"

ugh.

Small indie team, please understand.

large india team saar

It would take a such a colossal job to make a mod project solely to make the game more engaging, a ton of rewriting, new content, variety, remodeling that I don't think will ever happen, although I've eyed an star wars projects, although that kind of looks like a bunch of star wars models props asset flips and not much else

The Starfield Situation Is CRAZY

Wish they went the down the 'life simulation' route more, similar to BDO/Runescape with some indepth sandbox systems to keep the game interesting.

Whoever made it loop is genius.

Anal post

Please no.

NASA punk was a really dumb genre they were trying to push. Almost as dumb as the retro-futurism people are trying to push now. Space without alien races to interact with sounds incredibly boring.

You are not alone. I spent $100 on the premium edition because I'm a big fan of Bethesda games and knew I'd like Starfield. And then it was shit in every way possible.

This is the game that finally convinced me that pre-ordering is a retarded thing to do

The best thing about Starfield is watching 4 hr long videos on youtube shitting on it.

True lmao
Saarfield is a Lolcow in game format

Are those threads in the room with us right now?

I was never going to buy the collectors edition but I came very close to buying the special edition controller, the only reason I didn't was because xbox controllers don't have gyro, which perhaps on PC doesn't really matter but it's the principle of the thing

Isn't a 10 minute video enough with Starfield? I'm sure you could go on for hours on how FO4 or Skyrim are flawed, but with Starfield it's really fucking simple:

1. The setting is boring and forgettable.
2. The characters are boring and forgettable.
3. The locations are boring and forgettable.
4. The gameplay is boring and forgettable.
5. Loading screens everywhere in an era where every other open world game is getting rid of them (Miles Morales/Spider-Man 2, RDR2, even fucking Tears of the Kingdom on the goddamn Switch had instant travel between all three layers of the overworld, fuck me Bethesda what are you doing).
