Game Scoop 782: Starfield: Starfixed or Starf*cked?

Welcome back to IGN Game Scoop!, the ONLY video game podcast! This week your Omega Cops -- Sam Claiborn, Justin Davis, Rachel Weber and Dan Stapleton -- are discussing Starfield: Shattered Space DLC with Dan who reviewed it. Sam is still enjoying The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Justin's daughter discovers speedrunning, and Rachel shares her spooky TV and movie picks for the Halloween season. And, of course, another round of Video Game 20 Questions.

So glad Sam mentioned the real solution to scalping…. Just sell in retail and make people physically be there to purchase. The “problem” is being artificially created by technology as usual.

[@skeletorsnan8161]

it is more profitable to offer games digitally and deal with scalping than only offering games physically in 2024.

[@greenchile6554]

Not remotely feasible at this point, the genie is out of the bottle.

[@ProtossHyrdalisk]

@@skeletorsnan8161well then I’d love to hear your justification for these increased game costs then.

The title of this video 😆

[@mickael486]

Anyone else notice that independent YT channels about video games from their garage with 203 views have have better microphones than the IGN team has? it's pretty pathetic. IGN, throw these people some decent microphones for their "at home" jobs.

[@AndresLionheart]

What do you mean you don't shoot, the car shoots? It's not sentient, it shoots because you press the trigger... That's like saying the gun is shooting the bullet, not you...

[@mreurovisionau]

Correct. Call me crazy, you play as a car too. That Sam answered both questions wrong and then added massive game winning clues as caveats, is ridiculous. He's worse than Damon! 🤣

[@RayzaNC]

Can't IGN just give everyone decent mics? Every single week ffs

[@HDGaminTutorials]

Theres just to many loading screens for me to enjoy this game its 40% loading screens its wild

[@RayzaNC]

and that's not even it's main issue, the biggest problem for me is the absolutely terrible writing considering there's so much dialogue

[@dextrip25]

It's sad

[@overheatedeskim054]

@@RayzaNC nothing wrong with the writing it's again how all Bethesda game are. Funny these same thing's that Bethesda are known for is loading (which are the fastest they ever been mere seconds) on everything and dialogue like that is now an issue ever since MS purchased them.

[@skeletorsnan8161]

@@overheatedeskim054 nope, writing is WAY worse. from abysmally uncreative worldbuilding to dialogue like its a damn theme park and the characters and just push to talk bots. Bethesda has refused to innovate and has even started going backwards. same thing with their rpg mechanics. since Skyrim, each release has been worse than the last.

The bundle doesn't come with the portal. The picture shown with the portal is just to show all of the 30th edition items.

dan doesnt read details apparently

[@RayzaNC]

He didn't mean it did, he was just saying the limited edition one isn't a lot more expensive than the standard model

[@adriancalleros8726]

Great to see the man the myth the legend Stapleton back on Scoop and kudos to Sam for holding it down

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Gun is shooting, not the character is the same as the car shoots, not the character!!! Character pulls the trigger either way Car is not making decisions, just a tool exactly like a gun...

[@stuartbagley2586]

Agreed. You definitely shoot in Twisted Metal. You have to use Twisted Logic to think you don’t. You also shoot in Gradius, which is why the genre is called shmups - shoot ‘em ups!

[@martydastooge]

Depends if there is a driver in the seat. The movie Cars has cars making decisions agree? If Mater shot a gun, the car would be shooting.

[@drumjod]

@@martydastooge As long as the player triggers the shooting, you shoot in the game regardless of whether or not the car is sentient. Even if the shooting was automatic I'd argue that yes, "you shoot in the game."

[@mreurovisionau]

Correct. You fkn shoot. You're a car as well, not a human. Not sure how anyone can get this wrong, and then Sam immediately adds game winning caveats as clues. Ridiculous. He's worse than Damon! 🤣

[@nicmad1784]

Dan Scoopleton is back!

[@SofaKingOverThisIsh]

You don't do the shooting, the car does? That was cheap, if you are pulling the trigger you are shooting. Lol

[@nickmajora]

You don't do the shooting, the gun, mech, plane etc. does. Lol.

[@RH1812]

It’s a Stapleton in the wild

[@benmurko3595]

The best way to do this limited edition PS5 Special edition is a lottery. Have a PSN name and ID, minimum of X hours over the past year. Random draw for anybody who submits their name and they have 12/24 hours to respond to the offer and if they chose not to take it then another name or is chosen. Have it be like Ferrari in that you can’t sell it in the first 12 months otherwise you will never be available to get one of their limited editions again.

[@Rafa13SF]

Rachel’s audio is terrible. Is there a sound department at ign?

[@beazyb]

So is the switch

[@MoFoTRex93]

​@@gilbertoarellano8525 it will be because of scalpers 😂

[@MarkWSutton]

It’s considerably more expensive than the previous Pro model, and presents a less noticeable upgrade. It makes sense there would be less demand.

Dans Starfield review aged like fine wine 🍷. People were in full denial at launch.

[@R17759]

Yes it’s almost like people who haven’t played a game shouldn’t tell people that have that they are wrong.

[@BTMaverick707]

Starfield the top 11th selling game of 2023 was never broken or never needed to be fixed. Sure updates make the game better like every game these days, game was successful and still is going strong. If you don't like the game, just move on, you dudes look like deranged console warriors.

[@Mmachine88]

The game still has millions of active players monthly and has retained that for over a year now. It's baffling the commentary around the game. You'd legit think this game was as bad as Concord which was pulled less than 2 weeks. Smh

[@SHOman_86]

Shattered Space is disappointing for Starfield fans because it fixes nothing from the base game

[@dur0]

Starfield fans aren’t disappointed because they enjoyed the base game even with the flaws. Non fans shouldn’t expect DLC to fix flaws. Updates have done much of that in the last year though

[@SHOman_86]

@@dur0 speak for yourself. Pretty much everyone I’ve talked with wanted overhauls to exploration, POI’s, space mechanics, itemization, etc. That would have been time well spent and brought new players to the game. What did SS achieve? Review scores echo this sentiment

Sony needs to resurrect Twisted Metal ASAP! They are obsessed with GaaS and have this interesting, rarely researched genre and IP just sitting dormant. But it needs also needs to be very ambitious in scale, much more than the originals.
