And then on top of all that, Star Citizen is an MMO. You could do that whole video with your buddy walking beside you, riding the train with you, sitting in a copilot seat or operating a turret (of course in a bigger ship), or flying his own ship next to yours. In many ships he could open the cargo bay door during quantum travel, and throw beer cans into the void.

[@thomyt6159]

The reason why Starfield is so bad is that Bethesda uses the same Creation Engine that only got a couple of improvements, they now claim is the totaly new Creation Engine 2. Bethesda didnt bother actually making a good and new engine they did the minimum to save costs, the old engine we got a was ment for games that are decades old at this point Because of that gameplay, graphics, performance etc... suffer. On top of that Bethedsa went more main stream on removed the dark humor from the elder scrolls and fallout that made those games unique, the other feature that made Bethesda rpgs so great, the world desgin was also ruined so the game has terrible pacing with a woke and boring story and all of the engine problems. Starfield could have been great but Bethesda, like a lot of tripple a studios just messed up

@@user-pk9bi1gh6c they have very good reasons, you obviously are uninformed, They are working on TWO games, star citizen and squadron 42.

They managed to overhaul a ton of its outdated systems in a few months, this upcoming patch will bring in more content since the 3.0 patch back before s42 was their focus, and the content will be of much higher quality, and quantity this year and in the next few years.

[@DamonCzanik]

Starfield players: Watch the StarEngine demo, & you'll understand what you've been missing out on. In Starfield, you get loading screens & cutscenes. In Star Citizen you're always in control. No loading screens. You can look out from your apartment, take a train, get into your ship, & travel to another planet, then land.... and it's all seamless. So much more immersive! Exploration feels like exploration. Travel feels like real travel. The worlds feel more alive. Cites are the size of cities. You can run into other players doing their own thing or go on adventures with friends. You're just existing in an amazing sci-fi world. The lack of loading screens makes so much difference and those that don't experience it won't truly understand.

[@TheWorldsprayer]

Lets see...one is multiplayer...the other is not. One is moddable, the other is not. One has a predefined story, the other does not (outside of squadron which isn't star citizen anymore). One is meant to run on consoles, the other is not. One is meant to be able to be played with a controller, the other is most DEFINITELY not. One will allow me to create my own imagination, the other will not. One has lots and lots and lots and lots of bugs...the other is suprisingly polished. Does starfield have design issues? You betcha. But to say that players are missing out is dumb, they are COMPLETELY different games. For te most part the players that enjoy starfield will not be playing star citizen and vice versa which means that no one is actually "missing out"

[@dukeversewalker8962]

​@@TheWorldsprayer let me counter each one of your arguments and please try not to get offended. Mods are not required in Star Citizen becuase it is an MMORPG sandbox. 1. Not only that, but even for SQ 42, the game is developed from the ground up using player feedback from the PU. 2. Mods are a cheap excuse for developers to release unfinished project with the expectation that players will fix it for them. No thanks, I could care less for mods. 3. Star Citizen is meant to be played with controller, keyboard, flight sticks or hotas, your choice; While SF is meant for only controllers becuase it is that simple of a game. Star Citizen is way more complex than your typical console game so that's not a win for SF. 4. SF does not allow imagination, the game is literally on rails and the story is trash, while Star Citizen allows you to make your own adventure and approach missions and circumstances as you see fit whether that be alone or with your firends. SC is all about using your imagination on how to approach emergent circumstances. It's called emmergent gameplay and SF has none of it. 5. Star Citizen has bugs because it's in development and keeps getting polished with every major and minor patch. SF is a polished turd but a turd nonetheless. SF is a 2003 game with somewhat updated graphics, SC is the game we thought we would be playing in the future when we were kids. Players that are play SF generally do not have the money/resources to build or buy a PC that can handle the game becuase it's geared towards children and allows players to play with themselves. Star Citizen allows hundreds to players to play together, coordinate, plot, and execute.

Yeah....as someone who does enjoy Star Citizen, i played starfield for i think about 30 hours. I struggle to say its a bad game. Like i had some good solid fun with the game before realizing that for the majority, i was quite bored. I was particularly underwhelmed in the populated areas. Whatever the main city is in starfield where you meet the main quest line in that boardroom type thing. That city, felt terrible to me, like everything about it was just frustrating. Part of it was the loading screens broke the immersion for me, so going from one section of the map i found myself just using the fast travel system. And by the end of my 30 hours, i had 0 reason to actually walk around, id just fast travel EVERYWHERE. Where as in Star Citizen. I find myself captivated by every environment. Almost every single time i land, even in ones that i am intimately familliar with, i find myself stopping to take in the absolute mind boggling amount of detail everywhere. It helps that i have Tobii Eye, as when im on foot, i can slow down, and really take in my surroundings as if i am actually walking around.

[@holy8782]

Being brutally honest here. I don't see how one dead world feels more alive than another dead world considering the fact nothing really happens on either said dead worlds. Perhaps 3.23 will change that in SC but at least at this current point in time. One wouldn't feel "more alive" than the other.

[@jayohheeh640]

@@holy8782 the lack of a loading screen helps immensely with immersion. You must be a relatively new player for Star Citizen. Robert Space Industries has literally had to invent every single bit of technology. from their own graphics engine to server meshing to allow for universal persistence, to help push the capability of the game further. The planets are not procedurally generated, like they are in Starfield. Starfield is literally just watered down fallout/skyrim in space.

I have been a huge backer of Star Citizen since 2016 back in the Port Olisar days. I have loved the game and the vision every single month and have always followed the development even when taking long breaks from playing. Robert Space Industries isn't settling for a triple A game. They aren't recycling assets or remastering old greats, they aren't procedurally generating new planets, they are innovating brand new technology, brand new engines, brand new server meshing, things that have never been done before... in order to deliver a truly immersive, persistent universe that lives and breathes with its player base. I have been a longtime Bethesda fan since Morrowind and Fallout 3, they were some of the greatest games of all time in terms of shear scale for their generation. I was really hoping that enterprising into a new universe with Starfield that they would be able to recapture that same grandeur in Morrowind. But this video makes it quite clear that the only way forward for truly great gaming is to innovate.

[@jayohheeh640]

A good note that some dipwad in the comments down below reminded me of: In Starfield, nothing really matters. Its a single player game that allows you to save-scum every shitty mistake you make, every outcome you dislike, you can roll it back. In Star Citizen, there is no roll-backs. Everything is live. The highs, the lows. If you go to Jumptown and steal a players ship thats loaded with 10 million SCU worth of designer drugs, and then smash into the planet because you came in too hot, you can't take it back. The thrills of the game are real. The victories and downfalls are real and meaningful in the best of way.

My friend asked me "hey if I bought you a game package to play, would you play it?", I said "yeah, I will give it a shot". He bought me an Avenger Stalker Game Package. 2 Weeks later I upgraded the Stalker to a fully customized 325A, then I got to experience my first IAE, and upgraded to a Cutlass Black, and bought my first "LTI token". By IAE of the next year I owned a 600i, and then a Carrack. I am now in Concierge with about $1800 invested, all of my ships have LTI (Lifetime Insurance), and my ships MSRP value is over $2400 (thanks CCU Game).

I'd like to say that "the other" is definitely limited by investors and whatnot, but more-so limited by a game engine that is effectively 12 years old and is held together with duct tape and glue. If they would've realized that and had the wherewithal to make a new engine, or do what CDPR is doing and leaving their not-arguably better engine than Bethesda's in place for UE5, Starfield MIGHT have been able to somewhat "compete" with (at least not suck to the point where modders can't even fix it) Star Citizen.

Having played both a lot, they are different games. Starfield is a story-driven single player RPG meanwhile Star Citizen is a multiplayer MMORPG. But the truth it, at their core, they both remain sci-fi space games with the same promise of giving you the feeling of living and evolving in an amazing sci-fi world, and with this promise, there is no doubt that Star Citizen already delivers way more than what Starfield delivers. It only takes 1 play session to realize it. And Starfield scope is finished, apart from bug fixes, a few very small content additions and modding, there is nowhere for it to go. Star Citizen on the other hand is just an alpha, already delivers so much with so many different gameplay loops, and its not even close from reaching its ambitions.

[@Power5]

Sq42 will be single player and uses the same engine, same physics, same controls, same game mechanics, just not online. We really have no idea how the loading of missions will work, or how free you will be to choose what you do in Squadron yet. I assume missions will be similar to how you go to Constantine Hurston or the other NPCs with missions. Head to your CO, get your mission, and choose to go do it or a different one. Sort of like how SF does. But since we are to be conscripted into the military, not sure how free we will be to help alice figure out why her tree is talking to her.

That's why I rather wait for SQ42 release to compare these two universes, but as of now, comparing on the theme of Open World Sci-Fi, Star Citizen is already superior

No loading, no barrier, no one is blocking your game, is just you, your friends, and the amazing Persistent Universe.

Two space games each with a very different emphasis and platform architecture. I like the SC's MMO styling more and look forward to their single player story campaign Squadron 42. SF had the right idea but needed more time to cook and soured by Todd and his Exec Producer plus Microsoft never leaves a good idea undamaged. CIG in spite of their blunders figuring out a unique parallel multi-game project and dev model works with determined passion started from nothing but 5 people with an idea and built up to where they are now in the same relative time window SF was made leveraging long established studio resources.

[@Daggre]

This is a pretty fair comparison of the 2 games. Nice to see someone not just saying one is great and the other one is awful. It's worth mentioning that you can interact with NPCs in StarField, there's an actual plotline and missions you can complete, you can have NPC crew (which are basically just stat buffs but they do help in FPS combat), and there are creatures everywhere. The loading screens and fast travel kill the fun of the game for me, so I generally prefer SC, especially since I can play with friends. Hopefully, all the features I listed will be in both games soon.

[@gs7326]

it's also fairly important to mention SC is in really early stages, AI isn't responsive at all because of server loads (new server meshing tech arriving soon should fix that) and that SC's ambition is to be a realistic space sim whereas starfield is an RPG like space game. SC plans somewhat of a story line playable on the persistent universe (with friends), interactions with AI and generated speech, and creatures were recently teased for 3.23, let's hope CIG delivers for once. both games have their ups and downs, but for someone looking for an immersive space sim, SC is definitely that, whereas starfield is i suppose more for people who want to follow a story line and level up their character in a less streamlined but still remarkably immersive universe.

Damn, I didn't realize how much Starfield "borrowed" from Star Citizen's design.

[@peacefusion]

all games borrow from each others design, especially when its in the same genre lol

[@mauriziocorradi1598]

When you don't end up killed by staircases, elevators, when things in the server work, when there's no 30k, when your ship doesn't explode for no reason... But of course, I get your point: it's an alphaaaaaa (after all, it's been like that since forever) 😊

[@Novastelk]

comparing star citizen to Starfield is like comparing Nuclear bomb to Rock.

[@execontini]

and oh boy wait for next pacht

[@etogreentjjoris8879]

What really gets me is how deep star citizen's ship combat model goes, both the current and the new Master Modes. Where as Starfield's is just bad.

[@DeadManRising36]

If it wasnt for the loading screens starfield could have been a serious star citizen competitor

[@Mario211DE]

Interstellar music on star citizen, oh my lord

[@eternellelive]

Even this video can't capture the freedom and infinite size to small size feeling that can procure Star citizen and it will be a mmo.... After 125h + in starfield and in SC since 2013. Both can't be compared. Its like compare a F1 with a mini cooper. Both are enjoyable in different aspects. They share both the space thematic and thats all.

[@alx7123]

I've played more than 300hrs of starfield and alot of ng+ , played all variants and when i played star citizen recently i was blown away by the game visuals and gameplay, even with all the bugs am addicted to it. Love it. Excited to see what's next.

[@manuelsaiz5827]

Tram in Starfield: 2 seconds. Tram in Star Citizen 2 minutes.

[@Le..douds.]

Comparing these game today is exactly the same when back in time people use to compare Crysis and Far cry 2. It was totally irrelevant. Crysis was so ahead of its time back in 2006 like Star citizen is today.

[@CoulierCuts]

It's amazing how incomparable they are in virtually every quantifiable facet.

[@khymaaren]

Like comparing an apple pie to a Sunday roast...

[@rock2k14]

1:52 there's something so creepy about how quiet it is, people walking about, no one talking, no anouncements etc, even compared to SC's current iteration, that doesn't have the subsumption AI power because DSM isn't here yet, it's just so dead.

[@ELMUERTES]

Star Citizen

[@SQUIDKING007]

I have nothing against Starr field, but it’s basically star citizen for consoles..

[@skyriminspace]

I'll take a little from collumn A & a little from collumn B please.

[@ryozukojima]

Feeling the bias here, ngl. Should have made them continuous cuts, and instead of clipping from scene to scene in SC, should have used a fast forward with timer to illustrate the continuity. And how much longer it takes to do anything.

[@Equinoxium]

Takes me like 30 seconds to get from point A to point B in Starfield, anywhere in the map. How long it take me in Star Citizen to just get into space? Like... at least 20 minutes? Maybe 25 or so? I like playing games that respect my time more.

[@bellidrael7457]

I find it funny how in Starfield, the entire city has like 2 landing pads... one of which your ship permanently takes up while you're there. It just feels like the whole world exists just for you, it's not a real, living, breathing world. It's a set piece built around YOU. So many NPCs are walking to and from the ship area... why? The only ship there is yours, the other landing area is empty, but the NPCs suggest it's a heavy traffic area.

[@kiliksang630]

Sure 10 seconds of loading it's boring... but flying the ship for 5 minutes straight until you can land on a planet... that's fun as hell 🥳

[@MrSmileyn]

@0:19 Starfield telling the player this is a door...

[@batchad23]

🤣🤣

[@radioactive159]

Since SQ42 is ferature comple, you can feel how much faster SC is developing, i'm already hyped to test 3.23 Hopefully never having to ragequit to a 30k ever ^~^

[@redfox3978]

as a star citizen myself I feel much more connected to the game then in starfield

[@AlexandreDuarteDM]

Star30 in Xbox could be much more than just a next-gen loading simulator. . But I guess = Bethesda (?) . Also I love SC and the fact that transition is real time and not hidden behind a loading wall (of 4 layers).

[@_Kaurus]

Right, let's compare an open universe versus a completely compartmentalized game... This will go well.

[@kittygirl155]

I still get emotional thinking about how long we have to wait for TES6 and Fallout 5 because of Starfield. I will never forgive Todd Howard

[@Ugallardo]

Starfield is an actual game lmao

[@MrFelixify]

Unfair comparison. one is a story driven single player RPG that happens to take place in space and was developed during a couple of years. The other is a massively multiplayer sandbox universe simulator developed for 10+ years. You can enjoy both. Its like comparing Assetto Corsa with Need for speed.

[@JmaK17]

Starfield took one of the biggest and most established game studios in the world 7 years. Star Citizen started from nothing basically, they had create a game studio, completely reengineer an entire game engine and develop server meshing tech that was thought to be impossible at the time, while also building a single player game alongside an MMO style game and they've been at it just less than 12 years now. All things considered they're quite on par with each other in that regard.

[@MrFelixify]

@@JmaK17 it's still completely different type of games, only thing in common is space. I hate the comparison. Single player story driven role playing games are a COMPLETELY different thing. It's like comparing world of warcraft with skyrim. Yes, there is more things to do in world of warcraft. Btw, i play both and have a pledge Cutter in SC

[@utopiafantastory]

Usually, we don't call this as a comparison🍷

[@aronhayse9895]

why not? they both have star in their names their also space games why cant we compare them?

[@BoogersAndMilk]

I upgraded my pc and I want to get into star citizen but I’m afraid it would constantly take money to get the expertise I would be looking for? Is that true? Can someone chime in … I’m happy with starfield (with 127 mods) but there really isn’t much to do anymore … if it had an economy I would just mine resources

[@stevethompson5265]

In SC you don't have to spend anything beyond the game package you bought, all the ships can be bought with in game currency.

[@testsubject515]

the comparison is not fair, two different games, two engines, two different gameplays, two different stories, two different capabilities and possibilities to do. To compare graphics is just a way to say that you only see the surface, i never played star citizen, maybe one day, but I've seen enough to understand it and its ways, I've played starfield, yes its not what we were promised, an yet its not bad, the only major problems i see are the loading screens and the fact that it is way to big, everything is way to far. According to Bethesda it has way more voice lines than Skyrim and fallout 4 combined, and i don't doubt it, but everything is too far apart, making soo its hard to see it all, at the end the game is very good, i was the one who was overhyped, i will come back to play it again. There is no point to compare to different things as they were alike, all there is in common is the fact they are space sci-fi.

[@Parzival6969_]

The visuals in Star Citizen are stunning

[@pestilencethecat]

Thumbs up for only owning a mustang. A true confident Chad amongst the insecure space whales.

[@NeroRosa773]

ah yes space rust vs loading sim, both a bug filled mess but its fine cause something will fix them "soonᵗᵐ"

[@oantar3397]

Is star citizen even out yet?? Better yet is it even playable yet

[@prettygoodman16]

The immersion is out of this world in starcitizen

[@aronhayse9895]

starfield is way better

[@AlexadreSalmi]

It’s really incomparable

[@TheBladeKnight12]

One good thing Star citizen has no loading zone except for the elevator idk if that counts as a loading zone

[@boomsig9069]

space game vs space themed game

[@JFrogy]

How about everything except visuals like: Loot that is meaningful, Quests that have layers, NPCs that function properly, Fully modular ships, Campaign, factions, base building, 10x more Fauna, Skill tree, jetpacks and companions. Even with the shortcomings of starfield its still much more of a real space game than, Starcitizen: The screenshot simulator

[@ro-mon_gerrs_u-tube1944]

Welcome to Load screen simulator. =D Even No Man's Sky & Empyrion do a better job of going from one place to another. Yet, I did enjoy my few week play through of Starfield, but the loading screens do get monotonous after a while.

[@christophernobody7717]

Quod erat demonstrandum!

[@erwinhilgers5574]

The difference between Starfield and Star Citizen is really like the difference between an all-you-can-eat buffet and McDonald's. In SC you can do whatever you want, when you want it, where you want it. And when you're done doing one particular thing you can just move onto something else. And it leaves you, even for all the bugs, crashes and jankyness, fullfilled. You keep coming back because there's always something to do, and there's always a reason to do it. In Starfield you are much more restricted, and the game feels like it's almost on rails. Aside from ship combat and shooting, there really isn't much more to do outside of quests. And when the storylines are done there isn't much of a point to playing anymore, aside from NG+, which just makes the game more of a chore then something to enjoy. Besides that the ships in SC are a bit more 'refined', they are well thought-out and look and feel like they could exist in the real world, whereas ships in starfield look like they are held together by ductape and prayers to a god that has been dead for centuries, and like they can fall apart at any given moment. That being said, i did enjoy starfield for what it was, fallout in space. But after the first NG+ the game just went down-hill for me, and enjoying it became harder and harder.

[@WhiteboyBeardman]

the only win Starfield gets is that I can download it on my PC

[@Valgusart]

This is brutal. Comparing Starfield to Star Citizen is like putting a random skinny kid up against a heavyweight boxer. Sure the skinny kid can throw a punch but it never lands hard enough to mean anything and out of the two only the boxer will be remembered. Star Citizen is by no means perfect but it is here to stay, meanwhile I'd already forgotten Starfield came out, even having played it a full 30-40 hours just to give it a fair chance.

[@fizzywhizzbanger5610]

Damn, a lot of negative comments about Star Citizen from people who obviously know nothing about it and are just parroting what they've heard/read elsewhere.

[@Taldirok]

Sheeps be sheeps, nothing new here, people love to trashtalk on stuff they know nothing about.

[@BrankoSkrobica-fk2fs]

Give me star citizen or give me death

[@MtthwSmmns]

I will say the npcs in starfield makes it feel more alive. No janky movements or whatnot

[@nicz7694]

Been pretty dissapointed in SF. I was pretty hyped when they showed the Ship Building System (the System itself is pretty fun) but thats all gone now with this Loading Screen machine and lack of proper flight. Ships are basically oversized Chests where you can walk (or load) into and thats it. I dont need multicrew or multiplayer, I'm totally up for a singleplayer...if they would have made it right.. Really hope that SC atleast makes the cut, the 3.22 was pretty nice and I cannot wait for 3.23. They are definitely pumping out updates faster and the game is nowhere near the 3.19 that has been complete garbage. Going Mining in my friends Mole or inviting friends to my Reclaimer was a lot of fun in 3.22. Entering the Reclaimer together and enjoying my Life on the Bridge with my Claw Buddy while the rest of the Apes are playing 1 SCU crate basketball in the salvage bay was just fun. Also had the pleasure of a Hammerhead Crew robbing us - they ended up playing basketball aswell and after having a drink and some chatting, we worked together and shared the bounty and salvage payout but most importantly we became friends. Yes, SC is buggy and unfinished but Its still a lot of fun with friends and the people are really nice. I have sunk a lot of money into it but I had my fun with my friends and I've even met people that became my friends and we even had a BBQ Evening IRL. Thats more worth than money imo

[@argentshrike516]

I feel like Star Citizen and other similar games is why starfield exists. Bethesda saw the space genre taking off and rushed it to have their title be early in the market. 2018, when starfield was announced we had SC 3.2. A lot of great flyable ships, Stanton in a good enough state to see the vision. Starfield cut so many corners they left a product devoid of shape. Just look at the lore. Stanton system is a corporate owned system the UEE sold to cover debt incurred after the fall of a tyrannical government. Starfield couldn’t be bothered to design a new interior for a centuries old generation ship.

[@rngmusic7695]

These two games is not something you can compare the difference between star citizen and starfield is just insane in the most of the points, good vídeo 🎉😂

[@aronhayse9895]

why not? they both have star in their names their also space games why cant we compare them?

[@rngmusic7695]

@@aronhayse9895 the difference between those the is absurd how can you compare a game that you need a londing screen to every transition to planets, the immersion of the goes all the way to the dump truck

[@dreamm1989]

Earn some aUEC and buy yourself a bigger ship for this comparison, Corsair for example. Ship interior is the critical part of experience in SC and you missed it

[@Radvent-sq8bo]

Should've at least: Used a ship of comparable size in SC (Corsair would have been good) Sped up the star citizen scenes instead of cutting. It would've looked way cooler.

[@maitiu6802]

How often does this game crash🤔 In relation to servers 🤔

[@1x1boop28]

Frequently, the only thing that holds sc down is instability

[@DeadHawk23]

The only thing that makes Star Citizen look worse in any way is how flat the textures are at times. Everything is so clean it's unreal and everything looks as if it was made yesterday.

[@kratoa92]

Borrow a bigger ship next time once the SF expansions all drop. Show walking around the ship while traveling in quantum. Or riding a vehicle out the back onto and across a planet. So many things SC can do now. SF still might not come close

[@e.a.n_a.n.t.h.o.n.y]

Btw Star citizen had a development cost of $590 million dollars 💀 while Star field had a dev. cost of $200M

[@Haelda]

meanwhile star citizen made their own game engine & starfield reused an old one

[@Garshock1]

Only one of these features the most important feature of a space game... Space.

[@dadzlmx5480]

The video is cutting too much, you shouldn't cut some details. Otherwise, good job !

[@nicolasguiem7369]

Glad I bought starcitizen although they have critical bug

[@dasbambus]

I mean thats why its an Alpha. Buying something like a ship is kinda of like funding something on gofundme. Its used to make the game better.

[@IronVanguardOfficial]

Why are we even comparing a single player space arcade game to a growing space simulation meta verse? Wait till SQ42 finally comes out then compare the two. Starfield will be a spec of dust in the eyes of the gaming community.

[@festersmith8352]

Because the internet went crazy claiming SF would kill SC and teach CIG how to build a real space game. Gamers caused the comparison, by creating the drama the internet loves to create and consume. And honestly, as an SC player, I have had some pretty nasty crap thrown at me over the years. Its nice to see it land back in the laps of those who just love to hate. Karma is the universes way of slapping the unwise.

[@vrk431]

Should have made with similar size ship 🚢

[@Maximilz]

The only problem I have with star citizen is that although I like how you have to interact with everything realisticly, its not quite there with the smoothness and ease of use to make it properly enjoyable

[@CosmicCheeseSandwich]

If you are talking about interacting like turning on ship systems and things like that, there’s key binds already set for everything like that :)

[@Maximilz]

@@CosmicCheeseSandwich yeah, I definitely use the key binds it's just not very immersive. I probably need to buy some flight controls for the best experience though

[@leandrohsilveira]

Yet Starfield, with all its defects and wasted potential, delivered to me a fun that Star Citizen never did. While, in Star Citizen I've spent a lot of time looking to a boring warp animation, just to get an outpost in another planet (not star system) and die to a weird stair or elevator bug. Or server crash. My hope for SC is Squadron 42... I pray for my 3060TI can get at least 30 fps in cities...

[@Gamer-lj5cc]

there's a new space game coming called jump ship check it out! its a PVE multiplayer game where you loot, do missions, and more! you can even have someone piloting the ship while your outside! pretty hyped for this game as well!

[@kianbahrami5957]

One is only on pc, the other is not only on pc

[@xerxes02amstart47]

And for that piece of data, they needed 8 years. And it's a single player. They had a huge developed company behind it. They've had an engine, and they've had inspiration. And so much more possibilities than CIG at the beginning of their journey. And still, it's nothing but Skyrim in space. Thanks for nothing Bethesda.

[@echo5827]

Wouldve used a different ship to compare and maybe a timer

[@PinchOfLuck]

SC has killer elevators and Starfield doesn't. SC has full persistence of objects anywhere,..... which in my mind is the biggest "WTF" moment one may have.

[@Vlognocommentary]

Starfiled : Let him Cook 🔥 😅

[@Croissanntt]

honestly, i like starfield even tho its definetly not worth 70€. i can understand why it gets so much hate but its still a decent game in my oppinion. star citizen has way more potential and i also like it more but still, starfield is a beautiful game

[@tetragerbera]

Oh man if only you had a bigger ship wirh interior so you could have done a walkthrough while in QT
