I Returned to Starfield for the New Update. It was worse than I imagined...

The latest Starfield update added a car slash rover to the game ahead of the big Shattered Space expansion, so I thought it'd be fun to see how Starfield is doing since launch with all the updates added to it over the last year. Just to rediscover my relationship with it, the bugs, the glitches, and the issues I had in my review/Critique of the game. Here's what I found.

Bethesda bugs used to be so charming and endearing--whimsical jank that added personality to the games that were ultimately forgivable for the experiences they offered. But now we're here... in the year 2024, with almost the same exact bugs that were present in 2002 with Morrowind, and nothing's changed. It seems like the charm is all but gone. To move this beyond Starfield, I think TES VI is all but doomed at this point. Don't get me wrong, I think people will buy it because of what it is, and many might even enjoy it despite whatever (numerous) flaws there are. I just get this feeling that Starfield was one of, if not THE final nail the coffin for the Creation Engine and people's goodwill toward Bethesda. Starfield was supposed to show off what CE2 could do, but instead, Starfield is what it is, and that's our benchmark for what to expect from TES VI? Oh boy.

The Starfield Catch 22: The only way to make Starfield playable is a buttload of mods, but a buttload of mods render Starfield unplayable

[@thejosh0100]

Just need another butt load to fix the render

[@TB-wvvvw]

I've been playing hundreds of hours. I never needed or wanted any mods as the game has run completely perfectly since release, and there are still plenty of things to discover with no mods needed. Also, I'm not into using mods for the typical purpose of cheating myself out of the challenge provided by the game. By the way, a "buttload" of something wouldn't be very much, would it? I think you mean "boatload", which makes sense because a ship holds a lot of cargo, while a butt is just something you poop out of or the back end of a gun.

@@isthatyoursomnomnom We're talking about a game that, when it was ready for release, was held back for an entire extra year of testing by XBox QA. This is well known to have resulted in a release of the game in excellent shape, which has been played by over 13 million players (along with my own experience of hundreds of hours of bug-free play, for which I have no reason whatsoever to lie about). This implies to me that if someone has problems with bugs, it's due to "mediocrity" or some incompatibility of their hardware. As for ad hominem insults, they imply "mediocre" understanding of logic, so that's also not my problem.

[@hschan5976]

Because Bethesda doesn't have the proper tech to make the content that Starfield was meant to be about. They have an outdated game engine thats best suited for building interesting indoor spaces and scaled down outdoor spaces. They're trying to build a game that's set in a full scale world where you supposedly have the freedom to literally go whereevr you want, which when combined with their tech limitation meant you quickly realize every 'town' or POI in the fame is just a theme park with no immersion to offer, just like the experience you get from all the f2p MMORPGs. To save this game they need to be able to make moving from one tile of a planet to another seamless. Same for atmospheric entry and exit, and space warping. Without this tech we ended up with loading screens every 5 mins.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

True the Buggy/Rover should have been added at the beginning of the game not almost a year later and like I have said before they should have cut 70% of the planets to add more stories and lore to the game itself, less is more after all. Less Planets with More content is what people wanted not a thousand bland worlds with nothing on them except resources. We wanted few a worlds with a lot of details, a fantasy to escape to not a thousand bland worlds with nothing on them and traveling on a ship wasn’t boring due to it being risking, one hull breach and your done.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

I would have loved it more if you could store items in the Rev 8 like you would with your ship and the Rev 8 made exploration better, my character always run out of stamina every few feet which was annoying.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

The truck bed at the back of the Rev 8 should be made to carry cargo with a cover on top so you don’t lose what you put in the back, since I like to loot places a truck with storage options would have been nice. I would have loved to have a futurist F-150 or Ram 1500 with airless tires just like the Rev 8 but able to store cargo on it.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

The Rev 8 does have a truck bed but for some reason you can’t store your stuff in it like you would your ship. Having a truck with storage space would have made looting in the game easier especially since our characters loose stamina faster the more loot they have on them, so have a space pick up truck with storage space would have been better. Also I would have removed 70% of the planets because less is more, we wanted less planets with a lot of detail on them and not come across the exact same 10 dungeons every time on multiple worlds but come a across a unique one of a kind dungeon on each planet. 10 or 20 unique planets with multiple unique locations is what we wanted not a thousand bland worlds with the exact same dungeon on them every time, that just brakes immersion when you see the exact same corpse on the exact same couch in the exact same building but on a different planet which makes no sense.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

So I get why people don’t like StarField, coming across the same dungeon or location over and over again on a different planet just brakes immersion, coming across the same cryo lad on many worlds just annoys me.

[@emperorofscelnar8443]

Another problem with StarField is that you kill a bad guy and yet your murder count in game goes up for some reason even though the person you killed was on a bounty mission, a bad guy that your told to kill.

What struck me is how lazy they have been in implementing the vehicle. After purchase it's just... there. No vehicle hanger/bay for your ship, it's just...there. No storage on it, it's just a quicker way to get around the limited map area. The vehicles in Astroneer are more sophisticated.

It can still turn around like Cyberpunk or No Man's Sky, it has decent bones, just not enough player freedom in the planet exploration, like sure you can go anywhere, but pretty much everywhere has nothing to do. They botched economy so as long as you're selling guns, you pretty much never have to harvest your own resources, they're so cheap to buy. Basebuilding doesn't bear any meaning either, that's what the questline that has you walking up to people and trying to set them up with homes in frontier space should have been, an opportunity for you to set up colonies, like settlements in FO4, or camps in FO76, that offer random npcs the opportunity to interact with one another based on how you set up your colony. There could have been an amazing build opportunity for the Old Earth ship survivors. All the scenic locations are meaningless if you can't build a castle on it or something. I get what you mean about the car turning exploration into an actual game vs just walking in a straight line at a quest marker. I hope more vehicles come out with different shapes and attributes. I hope they let you customize the buggy as much as the ship, so you could go from a motor bike to a hover tank, or old earth style vehicles if you could find the parts in magazines ala Picket Fence and Hot Rodders.

Also I put alot of time & effort decorating by 4 or 5 apartments & now the ship. In order to be able to do that u have to level up in outpost building, but in order to decorate u still need the resources to craft what ur trying to build, plus u get paid by Vald every planet u 100% survey.

It's hilarious how they thought a buggy would somehow bring people back. The planets are still completely pointless to explore.

[@Vulver]

They don't understant thier own games. I think that at Bethesda Studio, they thought that since players are still playing Skyrim today, they would offer them a procedural world that changes with every playthrough. However, procedural generation is a flaw in any game. It has no place in a game centered on exploration and character development. The main drive of such games is discovering meticulously hand-crafted locations that tell their own stories, alongside gradual character progression and the acquisition of better equipment through exploration and tough combat. Games shouldn't have enemy level scaling, but rather locations that you can't survive in if you're not at the appropriate level, making it clear that it's too early to venture there. The world should recognize your character's growth and power, and you should feel that you're becoming stronger. The entire fun of these games lies in discovering the world, new characters, and stories while simultaneously increasing your character's power. Such games are meant to be role-playing machines for the player. If they want the game to earn revenue for 10 years, they should release expansions yearly at the level of Dawnguard or Dragonborn. Since the game is already complete, a smaller dedicated team can work on this, rather than the whole studio. This way, players will buy expansions and return to the game, not because the next time the base on the planet will be in a different place and you'll find a different weapon in the chest. 🤣

I've gone back after stopping playing in Jan '24 - played for about 10 weeks before that - having had enough of poor combat and the repetition of enemies and loot etc in POIs. Didn't play with any mods because I usually struggle to get them working. I've loaded Creation mods for graphics, combat and random loot in certain POIs and so with these and the vehicle its much more enjoyable - should have been playing like this from day 1.

Seriously people will never be happy with anything

[@gyokzoli]

Well, I'm never buying a Bethesda game again.

Never say never

[@garrick3727]

Does The Witcher 3 have cars? Does Elden Ring have cars? Does Baldurs Gate 3 have cars? Starfield is a AAAA rpg. Game of a Year.

[@scarsofthenorthjd1066]

Why would it fixed anything? That game is beyond repair.

[@mm-yt8sf]

i'm experiencing more crashes after playing again (even after reinstalling vanilla) 😞

[@jasonhannah7483]

Thank you for the video you got my sub😊

[@jasonvega9942]

Confirmed my suspicions

[@HSG4meR]

I wasn't even expecting land vehicles, because it wouldn't make any difference. The game was more than just long walks through the nothingness of content. Now we have vehicles to cross this nothingness. The vehicles don't improve how characters are written, how the NPCs act in the world, how they interact with it, how the content is fixed for you to discover. Still bland exploration, non-existent sense of discovery, no feeling of dread when you're outer space. Starfield was dead-on-arrival.

[@gwoody4003]

Everything everyone wanted as far as space exploration from Starfield can be found in No Man's Sky. Even has ship crafting now. And a mech suit with a flamethrower and grenade launcher. Unless you want a long, boring, derivative story with a bunch of fetch quests and loading screens... If you want a Fallout campaign, play Starfield.

[@primusofcatarina4910]

No man's sky is even more boring than Starfield. There's literally nothing to explore other than the same 3 one room buildings over and over again.

[@gwoody4003]

@@primusofcatarina4910 theres like 5, actually. 😆 But its still better sight-seeing and exploration than Starfield. Though it seems the space exploration wasn't really intended to be a big part of Starfield.

[@hansolo-mx4xt]

i like the game, BUT i think you need more 'space' in your space game!

[@ragingmonk6080]

If I remember correctly you can build a bounty clearance board in your ship now.

Bethesda is a AA studio trying to cosplay a triple A studio.

[@Seoul_Soldier]

Bethesda is barely a C-level studio at this point. All of the talent that made Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3 are long gone.

[@amysteriousviewer3772]

They are a AA studio with a AAA marketing budget.

Im giving this the No Mans Sky treatment. Ive only played about 6 hours worth still have not completed my 1st playthrough. As of right now i have contracted the bug that makes mine and other npcs bald, missing hands, clothes and the right red eye (pink eye?). Deleted all my mods and staerted a new fresh game and its still there. I'll wait till the DLC drops and see if its fixed then. Like i said the NMS or Cyberpunk treatment just patiently waiting until a less buggy complete version is actually playable.

[@TheVerity77]

There was a storm in a planet and it picks up my rover and flung it all over the place! How much is that thing weigh with my over encumbered self in it plus my companion? The steering is actually really janky as hell. I hope they've fixed the steering soon.

[@vxskud]

With the vehicle you can see all the nothing much faster

[@blakejeter1447]

IDK why maybe it's my mods but the rev-8 update broke my game the NPCs cloths make them floating heads and arms and the frames are so bad now idk what they did 😞

[@janvsetecka6135]

I was so excited about his game, than i spent 120+ hrs in it and I have never brought myslef to play it again since. Kinda hoping the DLC will do it. Base building was never my thing and exploreing was not crystal clear Bethesda experience i had with Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. And the stupid interpersonal insecurities of various quest´s NPCs dumped the experience even more.

[@Sandal2000]

Hey that's the SMT music in the beggining 🥲

[@SM-kt6zq]

100% agree Escape paid mod mission was good

[@NstHarlequin]

After doing 8 "loops" I decided that I was deep into Stockholm syndrome and uninstalled the game....that's it for Bethesda games for me (I refuse to call them BGS)
