It will never be running as expected, because these fixes are mostly for the compensation of the series s lol. The games legit compromised Already.

Monkeycan8129d ago

Which is why I am waiting for the PS5 version.

JEECE129d ago

There will probably be a PS5 version announced within the next year, but don't expect it to magically fix all the games underlying problems.

Rockstar129d ago

...This is Bethesda we're talking about

Monkeycan8128d ago

Nah it wont fix the problems but it will be better and have more content.

Tacoboto129d ago

Gotta hand it to Bethesda.

One way to avoid laying off QA staff is to just not have any at all!

Goosejuice129d ago

Why have QA when modders fix ur game for u

Flakegriffin129d ago

Didn’t the modding community give up on Starfield shortly after launch?

Goosejuice129d ago

I really tried to get into this game as I love Bethesda games. Put 40 hours into and even bought the 100$ edition...but this game just isn't good. It's an ok title at best. Dosnt have any of the charm that elder scrolls or fallout has. It's incredible how bland this game is despite having the opportunity to create a whole new universe..literally, and they give us this mostly human universe with the same things to do over n over just on a different named planet.

They had such a huge opportunity to give us this incredible universe akin to star wars and instead made it bland af. It saddens me a bit cuz I truly tried, and i love Bethesda open worlds. Maybe shattered sky's helps? Idk. To me the core of the game is just not good. The only thing I truly liked was the ship building.

shinoff2183129d ago

This is about where I'm at. They never built onto it within the game. The lore sucked. Where as elder scrolls and fallout you find notes, books, and computers to read and what not. It adds to the game tremendously as far as lore. It couldn't immerse me like the the other 2 series. Maps and exploration lacked. Those are my only issues with the game. Unfortunately I don't think they will ever give a fk about the lore.

Profchaos129d ago

Credit to you I couldn't stomach any more forced tutorials and menus 4 hours in.

I hit another guided tutorial after 4 hours playing Its simply bad game design

Kurt Russell129d ago

I put in 110 hours, it had some addictive Bethesda qualities that kept me chipping away... even though, you're absolutely correct. It is a really bland title and in my opinion completely lacked that sense of discovery and exploration by taking the hub world route.

HansyJ128d ago

I can never understand somebody saying I put 100 hours into something and I thought it was bland and didn’t like it lol 100 hours. Some people haven’t even spent 100 hours in the gym in their life.

anast128d ago

"Go to the gym because you spent 100 hrs doing something you kind of enjoy."

This is a bizarre take.

Kurt Russell110d ago

I mean, the answer is in my comment HansyJ... it has addictive qualities. I saw it through, did a lot of side content but it was bland overall as an experience. I didn't hate it, I was just disappointed as a general fan of some of their previous titles.

Still a very healthy playerbase on Steam and Xbox. I'm looking forward to the expansion.

Obscure_Observer15d ago

"Didn't know SF needed saving."

It doesn´t.

pwnmaster300015d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Starfield was the biggest disappointment for me this gen coming from a huge Bethesda fan.
Put countless of hours into morrowind, oblivion, Skyrim, fallout 3 /4/new Vegas. Even played all the dlc for those games.
But Star field was the biggest piece of crap I played from Bethesda. I didn’t even play it on gamepass . I actually bought the game to support Bethesda.

Now I’m scared for the next elder scroll.

Obscure_Observer15d ago

"Now I’m scared for the next elder scroll."

Sure... Starfield was your biggest disappointed this gen and now you´re scared for Elder Scroll which is a game that will be directed by the exact same person?

If you really feel that way, you should just drop your act while you skip upcoming games from Todd Howard entirely.

pwnmaster300015d ago (Edited 15d ago )

“I agree, I can’t wait for Bethesda’s next game so they can shut all the haters up..
Been a fan since playing Morrowind on the original Xbox. Good times.

I like Obsidian and I think their next games will be good but let’s get real“

https://n4g.com/news/236133...

Me from this article 1504d ago.

Go ahead and keep talking.
We arnt all bias like you.

Oh here is another one

“I don’t remember being able to use spell and sword in obilivion.
But at the same time I played as a wood elf archer..
Still pretty excited for it.
Say what you want with Bethesda but their elderscroll game is on point and hope this game can match it.“
https://n4g.com/news/236101...

I’ll wait for your reply. Knowing you won’t lol

pwnmaster300015d ago

“This is major acquire for MS.
Tbh I’m not really sure what Bethesda make besides elderscroll and fallout, but that alone made me a big fan. If you weren’t investing a PC, Xbox is looking to good to pass up next gen.

I hope this helps Bethesda make a come back.
Literally yesterday if anyone mention them, they would of shitted on them and that was coming from both sides.
I had a feeling they were gonna get purchased.
They been loosing a lot of steam from there fans and this is a great way to regain some back.
Sony was slacking and now they are hurting.

If they don’t acquire more studios, they will lose to MS in the future“

https://n4g.com/news/237385...

Another one.

Don’t ever doubt me again.

Gamingsince198115d ago

You don't need to justify your opinion to obscure observer , this is the guy that makes 15 alt accounts a week to troll people and complain about n4g being biased lol

Obscure_Observer15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

"I’ll wait for your reply. Knowing you won’t lol"

Why wouldn´t I??

A lot of people got disappointed on Starfield for a lot of reasons. Empty planets, loading screens, lack of content, NPCs, exploration, world building, ship building, combat... you name it; and that´s fine!

If you don´t like the game, nobody can blame you if that´s not your cup of tea.

That been said, you called Starfield a piece of sh!t. Literally a 0/10 trash game.

So I ask you: How on earth can *you* expect ANYTHING from Bethesda´s next RPG?

I mean, by your own admission, you have a POS as director, a POS team of developers and a POS engine behind the next Elder Scrolls.

So pardon me if you own comments makes you sound like a hypocrite, because imo, you shouldn´t be "scared" for TES VI at all, you should just give it a hard pass since you know the team behind it. Would you? No. I don´t think you will. And that´s the reason why I told you to drop the act.

Got it?

Starfield's Series S performance modes are worthwhile - but not as impactful as Series X equivalents

432p.... wow that is low. But hey... they got it done. Personally I wouldnt play it that way as it would be too soft but for those who have no choice (other than buying an X) at least get something more than the 30fps cap at launch.

just_looken17d ago

It has a better framerate but lower resolution that fallout 3 on xbox 360 just remember that.

Gamingsince198117d ago (Edited 17d ago )

432p ?? Wtf 🤣 that would look muddy on a switch screen let alone a TV.

Luc2017d ago

432p that's worse than PS2. What were they thinking when designing this console

darthv7216d ago

Weren't most PS2 games 480i... (aka 240p)?

Christopher17d ago

Woof. They got there, but that is a very heavy cost. I hope there are gamers out there that are happy with this? But, honestly, that machine? I'm not a fan. Haven't been. I really wish they had just released the single hardware. I wouldn't pay to play at that level in this day and age.

darthv7217d ago

...that's the power of sliders

Christopher17d ago

I'm fine with sliders up until a game like Last Epoch is so hungry for power that I have them all at low while I'm playing BG3 at very high. *grumble grumble grumble*

I'll be a happy dev when Series S is discontinued. 😭

The Series S is a mistake that a room full of drunks thought was a great idea. Again I can understand affordability but at what cost? Microsoft fumbled the ball and should yet again follow the path Sony took. Same machine same specs one has a disc drive the other doesn't. Personally I would go with the machine that has the most horse power hence the Series X. I don't know about other people but I don't like nerfed down games just so they can run on the Series S. Where I live nobody wants the Series S there have been some pawn shops that have said no to the Series S it doesn't sell.

Starfield's Creative Producer On Shattered Space, Mods, And Fan Feedback

"telling us that Bethesda is its own harshest critic."

If this is actually true, games from this company will never be at current standards.

Christopher18d ago

It's a thing people say to make them feel better. Pretty sure their biggest critics are unrelenting gamers who love to hate for longer than it's worth.

anast18d ago

This is true. And I would like to add their critics are also people that liked their games but had to begrudgingly move on because of the drastic drop in quality.

mkis00718d ago

Fyi all they had to do for space and planet transitions is what outlaws did.
