"When the game released I was hyped, like a lot of people, but probably for different reasons," said Cosideci. "I spent launch day and a few days after reverse-engineering the game, and porting over gameplay hooks from Skyrim Together to a potential Starfield Together mod. I ported about 70% of Skyrim Together reversed code to Starfield Together.
"There was just one problem: this game is fucking trash."
Cosideci adds "I didn't realize this until after I actually started playing the damn game a week after launch." He goes on to call it "boring," "bland", and says the big draw of Bethesda games is "exploration in a lively and handcrafted world" which is "completely gone" from Starfield.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Expectations for Starfield were sky-high, and while many felt it fell short of them, raw sales and other statistics tell a different tale.
Agreed. I'd love to know the budget on this one to be honest. What was it? 6-8 years in development?
Howard said this game had been a concept for 25 years. Let that sink in.
The ship building is kinda cool... And that's about it. In all seriousness, I don't think it's a bad game, but violently mediocre with some really head-scratching choices that made me go "why" rather than "wow" more often than not.
Same here. Not saying it's the best they've ever released, but the hate it gets is pretty absurd. I've been completely enjoying the 50 or so hours I've dropped into it.
To be fair, I have yet to play a single Bethesda game that I found enjoyable. The whole "talking to cardboard cutouts from the uncanny valley" thing is tolerable in games like Mass Effect, but it loses me completely in Bethesda titles.
I'll never forget advertised as an open world sandbox game but you run into invisible Star Trek barriers when exploring. GTA has never done that and neither has No Man's Sky. If people love this game good for them I am not touching it. And if Microsoft does say port this game to Playstation I am still not touching this game.
I started playing a few weeks ago and am enjoying it thoroughly. Perfect, absolutely not. Yet it's nowhere near as bad as what people make it out to be. Plenty of quests to get side tracked with. The gunplay has been tightened up significantly in my opinion since Fallout 4. I originally listened to the online crowd absolutely crap on the game and made me curious to see if it was that bad. It's not. It's a good and fun game. It just didn't live up to the developer hype and peoples expectations. Which wouldn't be the first time Bethesda, or Microsoft promised the world, and gave us the moon.
I will say that the beginning few story missions really kind of drag, but once you unlock powers it picks up. I think that first few hours soured a lot of folks who left it behind before really digging in to it. Which is understandable.
First few hours??? How about the first 130 hours according to the developers. Need to get past 130hrs to start enjoying the game.
Bethesda may have just dropped a major hint regarding the upcoming Shattered Space DLC for its action role-playing game, Starfield.
Yeah... I pretty much agree now, unfortunately... There was a brief time I started to get addicted to it. But that only lasted 2-3 days. Once I started seeing so many copy/paste areas within like 6-7 star systems. It started to dwindle my excitement to go on.
I think he hit the nail on the head saying Bethesda's biggest draw is "exploration in a lively, handcrafted world." There's just no soul to Starfield. Whereas Elder Scrolls and Fallout, I get invested into the world and atmosphere. That sense of wonder just isn't there for me in Starfield, sadly.
Respect that keep modding better Games imo.
Insane the amount of discourse this game has brought it's not surprising MS isn't revealing Blade's platform yet because they know as soon as they do the game will get trashed.
How was it called here 6 months before its release? "Game of the Generation" "Game of the Decade"
