Stopping my Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough halfway to play Starfield highlighted the stark differences between the two RPGs
Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.
What player spike?
I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.
Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.
Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.
Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet
Starfield fans are asking Bethesda to introduce mech piloting to the game after it teaser "major features" on the horizon.
They didn't get the memo the game is dead and the Bethesdabots only want magic and fantasy.
Starfield fans? The game only has 9 thousand current players, worldwide! As a company you cannot waste time on creating "Major features", it is simply not profitable. Just move on.
The YouTuber DeityVengy has transformed Starfield into an open-world Star Wars RPG, or The Mandalorian, with over a hundred mods.
Finishing Starfield, then moving onto Payday 3 for a palette cleanser, then going to dig into Baulders Gate 3 over Christmas break. I can't imagine trying to play all 3 at once.
I put about two hours into Starfield so far, and it's not bad at all. The menus and user interface certainly aren't great, but I'm surprised that it runs pretty dang smooth on PC. Running it on a 3070 at 4k on all high settings and it's holding up really well without many dips in frames (at the moment.) I'll have to see how well the game holds up down the line, but I'm enjoying it from what little I've played. Nothing mind blowing yet, but It certainly doesn't seem like a bad game by any stretch of the imagination right now.
Same thing occurred for The Witcher 3. These games are, an exception, to everything else. That is what also makes them so special
TheGamer, Videogamer and previously Gamingbolt, Kotaku and Destructoid ruined Game Journalism for me :-)
