The planets's surfaces aren't that realistic either. They are not valleys with small monticules here and there and a million truck-sized boulders scattered everywhere.

Now the next thing they need to implement is an overhaul to planets. Create new dungeons and points of interest to randomly place on planets basically just add more content to the planets and maybe new mechanics for the barren ones that make traveling and exploration and survival more engaging.

[@navtektv]

I think you mean they need to make a good game.

[@infrared6973]

This is never happening. The procedural generation will not allow for any of this and the base game isnt static like fallout 4. Its the reason why modders abandoned the game to begin with. Also there isnt anything to explore in starfield thats why the games so boring. The game has like 40 pois and a thousand planets so you do the math on how much repetition there is.

[@mygetawayart]

i think they need to, at the very least, create loads more presets so that you're not always encountering the same POIs multiple times in the course of a playthrough. At this present moment, there's a very small selection and that leads to uninteresting and repetitive outcomes. Plus, i think they should implement a set of random loot that is UNIQUE to, if not each planet, then at least a good third/fourth of them, that way, even if some POIs are similar, the loot would be specific to each planet. This is something they do for, again, a very small selection of planets. I think one of the biggest problems with Starfield is that it's really only interesting if you follow the hand-made portions of it, so the quests and the unique planets and POIs (like Red Mile or Paradiso), but the game also has this ENORMOUS other section of gameplay that's all about exploration which you can completely ignore and isolate yourself in the hand-crafted parts.

[@MaczetaX]

@@infrared6973 What are you talking about? This is already in the game, he is just saying they need to add more variety to it. You even mentioned it when you talked about 40 pois and "nothing to explore". I agree with him, there should be more variety and more options for POI, like there should be at least 10 different versions of "abandoned mine" etc. as of now when you see abandoned mine on random planet, you've already seen the whole place and all the enemies in the abandoned mine on a different planet - that's pretty bad. They have a good base for survival mechanics with all the suit resistances, planet dangers, etc. they just need to add a survival mode to the game.

[@OKMBVideos]

​@infrared6973 that isn't true. There are quite a few mods on the Nexus. It has about 8.6k mods out there right now. The reason there aren't more, is because the Creation Kit took longer to come out than expected. As far as I know, the only modder that abandoned Starfield is the same one who made the co-op mod for Skyrim and he did so many, many months prior to the Creaton Kit coming out.

[@MechaMan2012]

It baffles me that the response some people have to the criticism that exploration is pointless and boring is to tell people to "stop exploring, what did you expect, stupid". Like we're idiots if we want to explore in a game that was marketed about being all about exploration, and that the past games were full of things to explore.

[@Renigen]

Yeah, the exploration was great in older titles because they weren't generated by the machine, made from a dozen pieces, with witch you are already well too familiar. Honestly, I don't think starfield was ever going to work. The prospect of using procedurally generated maps is alien to Bethesda, their strengths lie in hand made cities and settlements. Like, instead of a galaxy, let's have a single planet and a couple of space stations outside. This would allow Bethesda to make a bunch of settlements, fill out the remaining space with some minimal procgen, have a bunch of biomes and most importantly, unique and non repeatable POI. Now that would be a great place to explore.

[@Even_N.D.]

​@@Renigenone planet would maybe be a bit meh but like a solar system would be enough

[@doomspud6302]

@@Renigen Bethesda did use a lot of procedural generation in ES2 Daggerfall. Most of the minor dungeons and towns were procedural, with only major story based locations being hand crafted. And the funny thing is, Daggerfall is actually fairly similar to Starfield. People always praise it for how MASSIVE it is. But in reality, 99% of it is useless empty space. If you wander the wilderness on foot, instead of just fast traveling, there's nothing to do between marked points. Even though there's hundreds of towns, and hundreds of dungeons, most of them have no purpose. Even though you can enter almost every building in every city, the majority of them have nothing inside them. Exploring dungeons is almost entirely just walking through miles of empty corridors, with sparse enemies, and maybe one treasure room with two items in it. It was all quantity, with minimal quality. The big difference, of course, is that Daggerfall came out in 1996. And at that time, simply having a game with that kind of scale was technologically impressive enough for it to stand out. Quantity was its quality thanks to the limitations of the time. But now? Games as big as Starfield have been coming out for years. And almost all of them have their own kind of quality, as well as the quantity. So basically, Starfield is a Bethesda game that's 30 years out of date.

The rover lets you get dissapointed faster. 😂 Unless they add actual content to the game, those 15 to 20 POIs are ground into the dirt for returning players.

[@heyhoojoe]

No Man's Sky gets brought up a lot as a favourable comparison to Starfield, but that is really only true for the technical aspects of travelling from planet to planet, using different kinds of vehicles, etc. (Although, if you think the pop-in in Starfield is bad, you haven't seen what it's like to fly low over a planet's surface in NMS) But if you are looking for !meaningful! exploration, the way Skyrim, FO4, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and so on did it, No Man's Sky is exactly as much of a stinker as Starfield! And for the same reason - copy and pasted, automatically generated, meaningless POIs that hold a modicum of interest the first couple times you encounter them, but quickly become ignorable. I reinstall NMS about once a year, because some new update bamboozles me into giving it another shot. I start a new game millions of lightyears away from where I have been before - and run into the same old shit after 5 minutes of playing. Then I uninstall again. It's a ritual, what can I say.

I don't care about bad exploratory design, I don't care about loading screens. And I can even live with space combat being really underbaked. Don't care about quality of life stuff -> I can just mod the game. There's just two real killers for me when it comes to this game: 1. The world itself is laughably tiny in so many ways. New Atlantis is a tiny town with two or three skyscrapers. Aqila "City" is a literal village. Neon is a glorified shopping mall. The "resort planet" is one literal hotel building. There seems to be a total of maybe a thousand people living in this universe. They keep talking about this great civil war and how many have died and it feels more like it was a 10v10. It becomes utterly unconvincing at some point. And it could have been so easy: Don't surround your capitals with empty and/or pointless open world "precedual" shlock: Simply have it not be open world and do window dressing, just like Mass Effect did. The game absolutely HAS cool vistas and places but they dropped the ball on the big cities and their surrounding areas. I don't need to be able to walk everywhere: just make it look like I could. I know that you can't build TEN night city sized locations. But you can create the ILLUSION of them. I think the only place where the illusion held up well was Mars, because it was claustrophobic to begin with due to everything being more or less underground since there's no breathable atmosphere. Walking around Mars mostly worked. Also besides the woefully underutilized pirate space station: not enough big space stations. 2. The third human faction, the Va'ruun, was a complete tease and fake-out. You didn't get to see their home, they were not part of the quest line besides one (actually well made) embassy mission. I kept playing waiting for an eventual twist and visit to their secret capital planet and it just never came and at some point the game was over and wow did the ending suck all of the enjoyment that I COULD muster out of the game. It was just so.... uninteresting. The mystery of the Va'ruun completely left by the wayside.

[@cravex06]

It's like Mass Effect without Mass Effect's good writing, world building and characters. All their games have these laughably reduced scale "cities" and populations, but they got away with it back then and in Fallout because it's post-apocalypse. With Starfield though, it's no longer 2011 or earlier, and it's not post-apocalyptic, so these shortcomings are glaring now.

13:30 Actually when you arrive at a planets orbit the first time, it generates a seed for the entire planet. And you pick and choose what tile you want to land on. It's not constantly spitting out new terrain the more you explore.

[@poppabeard9105]

My problem is the exact same procedurally 5 POI are on repeat. Getting to them faster doesn’t make them more exciting or fun.

[@Sunbreaker7]

An update that should have been there at the launch. LOL.

[@syminite1]

Funny. People now praise No mans sky like the first 6 years of it sucking didn't exist, damn can starfield get the same concessions? 😅

[@sleepyguy4237]

​@@syminite1The difference is that one is an indie studio and the other is a well known Triple A studio

[@tsivilsඞ]

​@@syminite1 exactly. No man's sky had their pathfinder update that added vehicles a year after launch. But people criticize Bethesda for it? I'm just happy they are listening to some criticism.

[@JustSkram]

​@syminite1 No. One was from an indie team with less than a 100 team members at launch. The other is a multi million dollar mega publisher/developer with hundreds of devs and multiple studios to work on a single project AND has been pulling similar shit since the early 2000s.

[@kakalokin147]

@@sleepyguy4237 Then what about cyberpunk?

[@cococock2418]

The fact it took them so long to implement this is laughable. Should have been here day one, even though it is essentially just "a faster way to explore nothing". Also, on the rocky planets like the one he was on, it was actually going even slower than running due to all the hills and big rocks. This should have been a hovercraft type vehicle, they couldn't even get this right.

[@braxtonpayne8270]

Wow this fixes everything with the game! It’s perfect now and has no flaws!!!

They added a rover to Starfield? Sweet now you can traverse the empty maps much faster!

[@Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

nice. Now you can drive around in an empty, boring space...

"In order to enjoy something like Starfield, you're gonna have to turn off your expectations in your mind..."

[@octavianpopescu4776]

That's a good observation. I liked Starfield well enough and I went in without any expectations beyond it being a Bethesda-style game in space. I didn't care about their presentations, trailers, Howard's promises, etc. That's marketing, so I won't get anything substantial/conclusive out of it. Of course marketing will try to deceive me, hiding the negatives and exaggerating or inventing positives out of thin air (which won't even be in the game). Why are people paying attention to that? It seems to me people who actually cared about the marketing/PR stuff and formed some image (expectations) of what it will be like or what it should be like, were the ones who were disappointed.

[@DrLowHouse]

Best parts of Starfield players spilled out to their parents sheets. 😂😂

[@Lazy_Titan]

This company is almost as pathetic as Gamefreak. They add basic features to a game that much better games had like 15 years ago and we're supposed to be in awe.

[@El_Bretzel]

I think that considering surface maps a negative addition is taking the problem completely backwards : They aren't the cause, the just reveal the extent of the exploration problem. Removing maps wouldn't make exploration better, it would just trick you into thinking there's a point to walking for half an hour. It would be even more frustrating to realize you've wasted your time later than you would with a map.

[@Monique-iz8lp]

Now you can finally go nowhere fast

[@natedoog7056]

*Needs more smaller settlements spread out to trade with *add more AI Ambushes all variants on planets plus 4 ship spawns instead of one *more random emergency broadcasts (could be a trap) *add more structures enemy forts/bases all variants *add more UC an Freestar forts/bases *Some turrets cant be placed upside down in outpost builder *Companions that only have one skill can not trade items *add random mid flight ship impact crash sites on planets like with heller *more science outposts too variants

[@blaze0127]

In my experience the rover seems to snag on nothing or take a nose dive on the smallest of pot holes and stop completely. It probably does this to artificially slow the player down to let the game load. The fastest way to get around is still to just use frostwolf or amp and just run.

[@TheChenny73]

After driving the buggy for a day I believe Todd when he said Starfield is designed to be explored on foot with a boost pack. The buggy is ok but most planet surfaces have too many rocks boulders etc to really effectively use the buggy. You can survey a planet and explore faster with Amps and a boost pack.

[@mikew466]

It makes you want a hover vehicle or helicopter.

[@Archangelm127]

Stop apologizing for trash, Luke. I appreciate that you're trying to not get your access cut off, but c'mon.

[@jimmylights878]

The game needs much better combat and cooperative play.

[@mccarthy86]

Why can't exploration be like Star Trek? You scan a planet, find areas of interest then fly down directly to them.

[@joshcrawley1937]

it honestly feels like Bethesda knows they're outdated af and is releasing tech demos to keep them afloat while they figure out how to make better games
