Hades did new game plus better. For such a huge game new game plus doesn't work well. Why would you postpone spending time in a galaxy to lose everything for new game plus.

I'll say it is starfields ONLY good concept though.

I heard the opposite. Most reviews say NG+ is pointless because the game isn't worth revisiting.

Lightning77244d ago

Then why did Greg Miller of all ppl NG+ the game 5 freakin times then? Yes the Greg Miller the Face of PS.

generic-user-name244d ago

Man's desperate to lose the tag 'the face of PS', so he overhypes Starfield.

jwillj2k4244d ago

Greg Miller is your king?

anast244d ago

Greg Miller is not qualified to say which games are good and which games are not. The content is a hustle.

So one guy? Greg Miller hasn't been relevant for years even if or still is a PS shill. It's almost like playing games from other platforms validates some and invalidates others' opinions...meanwhile people just want to play games they enjoy.

I heard that as well mostly on reddit and Twitter

Lightning77244d ago

Greg Miller? No he's a borderline Narcissist he's not trying to drop that title any time soon to anyone.

He's fine with Xbox but hates PC gaming and gamers. That's common knowledge at this point.

Anyway he's not dropping that title he just really likes SF.

anast243d ago

This. I just clicked on one of his videos and he's selling the series S screen for MS. the guy is a salesman not a reviewer.

"Neither are you, tears of anast LMAO!"

Yeah, you still don't get it. If I were you I would do something other than what you are doing. The inability to think is astounding.

yeahokwhatever243d ago

I'm on NG+8. The main story is skippable in NG+. I still have a ton of crap i havent even touched.

anast243d ago

"Crap" is the most objective term I have heard about this game. Of course we can enjoy crap, I play games like Destiny 2.

yeahokwhatever243d ago

lol its fun crap though. most games these days are just crap.

I don’t think these people have played some of the best NG+ games. Nier did it best in my opinion but there are plenty of others

Angyobangyo244d ago

Agreed. Nier does it differently, because you get pieces of the story with each play through and slowly expands to the true ending. Nier Automata's final ending will never be bettered....and if it does, I hope I get to play that game someday.

Crows90244d ago

Cant really compare Starfield with Nier. Nier is a much better game in every category that is comparable. But yes that did it very well as well.

--Onilink--244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

While I agree its not really innovation and a game like Nier (or Hades) does it pretty amazingly as well (though I would argue it just does it differently), the way Starfield integrated it into the actual narrative of the game is pretty great too, not at all like some people mentioned above and compared it to when Rogue Likes integrates most of the repeat runs to the obvious initial failed attempt.

Starfield runs with the idea of not only the New Game plus option itself, but also with how in bethesda games, people will usually do new runs to role play in entirely different ways, make different decisions or just experiment to kill everyone and stuff like that, and ties it all into the narrative of being a Starborn and experiencing different views of the story (like you being the Hunter, etc).

If anything, my biggest complaint would be that its a game that is too big for me to be interested in replaying it so many times to actually want to do NG+ a bunch of times to see all the way the story changes, as opposed to something like Hades where each run is constantly getting shorter, or Nier where its not even so much a NG+ but a whole different game in many of the subsequent runs. (That and the reveal of the first Hunter being quite underwhelming)

Starfield review bombed over £9 quest that takes 15 minutes to finish

Bethesda surprised fans with mod support and a free quest in Starfield, but the mission cost 700 credits to continue and fans are not happy.

purple1012d ago

somebody call animal protection services, Microsoft are trying to flog a dead horse

just_looken2d ago

Love this site

Fallout 76/fallout 4/skyrim all had bs paid mods far worse than this

But oh no bethdesda are saints they never screw over the customer its that evil Microsoft that is causing this.

Chevalier2d ago

So you're saying the $3 trillion company can't change that about the company they OWN? Sorry that's absolutely 💯 idiotic.

just_looken2d ago

@chev

I am saying bethdesda has been doing shady tactics screwing over its fan's for a decade +

I did not add elder scroll's online or the fact they like blizzard own anything you make with there mod tool's.

There was backlash but never mainstream week long just a little blimp here/there then Microsoft buys them now everything is exposed portrayed as if this big evil corporation has corrupted our poor tod boo that evil ms.

abstractel2d ago

This site is really skewed against Microsoft and they deserve a lot of it but to say that this is new and is caused by Microsoft is not realizing Bethesda's history. Anyone remember the $15 horse armor that was at the beginning of micro-transactions that pissed everyone off way, way before Microsoft was involved?

S2Killinit1d 16h ago

Stupidest comment. So it’s not MS fault then? Is that what you are trying to tell us?

MS is not doing anything, and that is the problem. Bethesda is stubborn and lazy, and MS has a policy of not interfering with their studios for the most part, but in this case they need to just play the bad cop, and start regulating on Bethesda.

just_looken2d ago

Mat booty is in charge right now he issued refund's for redfall dlc laid off that dev team and is overseeing the starfield updates.

October of last year is when after 3years they took the rains away so 2024 is when we can say yes that was M$

But the whole paid mods are bs deal screwing over customers and overpriced dlc to content available that has been bethdesda for many many years now.

Bathyj2d ago

Dollars to minutes, that's like 4 times worse than Hellblade 2.

Cacabunga2d ago

Blame those sheep who bought these quests

DaCajun1d 21h ago

You know what is ridiculous? The same people complaining about this probably paid $20 or more for a skin in other games.

MrDead2d ago

This is the only Bethesda RPG that I haven't finished and have very little interest in returning too. Over priced MTs aren't going to make this game fun

just_looken2d ago

I fired it up yesterday beyond the need for a bethdesda account to access the mod section the game is the same after all the patches.

But the whole customize you hub on your ship the game gives 0 clue how i had to look it up you pull up your scan tool when in a empty hab i am like scan tool? what button is that again. Five minutes later ohh ok that button

Then i saw 0 addition the same crap same issue from day one and the items but now they just break landing/flying its a gltich fuck fest. If you ever built in one of those pointless homes you can do that in your ship with all the same issues hazahh

So do not worry take it from someone that has over 200hours has not finished the campaign the only good thing the added was a map that has icons and the main mission if i can't go to sleep or have to much energy they are still so bad i passout with in the first section so now that its performance issues are fixed i can load one up much quicker cheap knock out device right there.

jwillj2k42d ago

“Bethesda surprised fans with mod support”

This is a joke right??

DarXyde2d ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they start disabling mods on older titles to push people toward Starfield?

dumahim2d ago

Not really. Whenever they update the game, it will break any mods that touch something that was patched in any way. The mods can be updated to work again, but that might not happen if the mod maker has moved on.
They're not patching the game with the intent to break mods, it's just collateral damage from the update process. They're more concerned with what they're doing, not the community.

Relientk772d ago

Deservingly so. Don't support Bethesda's greedy practice

OlderGamer172d ago

So don't support MS for theyr greedy practice besause Bethesda is owned by MS. You better call a horse a horse

TheColbertinator2d ago

Bethesda was doing this before they got bought out by Microsoft. Skyrim was the first game to get Creation Club and since then opened up a can of worms. They also started the horse armor debacle back in 2006 which began this entire mess in the first place.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Bethesda was doing this before the purchase but because of these practices MS wanted to buy them. MS can’t make enough money selling games but they think they can with MT’s and paid dlc, passes etc. This is what you get with your “free game rental service” aka Gamepass
