[@SuicidalLion]

Been waiting for this! Hope you’re feeling better Slack

[@MajorSlackAttack]

I am. Thanks! :)

[@jackofminds8338]

I love Slack's crazy intros to new series. They all remind me of the Skyrim one for "Going Postal."

[@enzo_plays]

That’s how we know it’s gonna be a good walkthrough! You can tell the ones Slack is really having fun with.

[@GaryMalcolm]

Slack using my comment has made my week.

[@CDangles]

Supah staaaar 😎

[@keithandreano]

Glad you are feeling better Slack, really like the setup with this new walkthrough!

[@Bro-siah]

I agree that this is such a massive change its basically a new game. Pumped for he new extreme series!

[@AnthonyBrown-jp6zn]

Stick with slack and don't get whacked! And he's always got our back! These new settings are sick! I can't play till the 15th but I'm glad you have it ahead of time so I can see it in action

[@sandandcedar]

Love the opener! 😆 Those settings are brutal, but should make it even more fun to watch than your last playthrough. The buff for staying fed & hydrated is remarkable, so clearly you'll be noshing frequently. Dare we call it "Snacking with Slack"? 🍕🥤

[@MajorSlackAttack]

Major Snack Attack! 😀

[@sandandcedar]

@@MajorSlackAttack But of course! 🤣

[@Mike-Conza]

Awesome that you are feeling better. I didn’t expect a new run this week, because you sounded unwell. Thank you for the new run though

[@Tanvaras]

Great first episode, looking forward to more!

[@neilghadiali1065]

I'm not installing the beta just yet since I'm on an Elden Ring binge right now but I can't agree with you more ... this looks like a whole new game! Love your setting choices.

[@williamkmanire]

I am stoked for this run! I've been enjoying the hell out of the new settings.

[@mikekelly3753]

Can’t wait to play this again. Unfortunately I have to wait for the patch on console.

[@nutbarchieftain]

Awesome stuff man, I’ve been waiting for a survival mode to drop since the game launched, can’t wait till it officially drops. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle this :D

[@ferkle]

"Extreme" is a game changer. I would call it a new game but having the prior knowledge helps in the long run (like where to find resources, best outposts, favorite weapons, etc.). Paying attention to health, drink, food is a new dimension. Currently an Xbox voyeur. Counting the days to the update. Commander Slack rules!

[@SimmerCK]

I was going to wait for the official patch, but I am downloading it now after backing up my saves.

[@SimmerCK]

Alright, and I am in. Wow, I love the map. My outpost is just outside New Atlantis and even my Base is 3D. Even down to the cargo containers. I thought I would just have an icon on the map. Alright. Now to adjust game play settings.

[@nutbarchieftain]

Also have to agree about the hate this game gets being unwarranted. I joined a lot of community pages as I’m sure you have and since it’s release, I’ve never seen such hate for a game that is in my humble opinion every bit as addictive and immersive as Skyrim and fallout 4. So much replay ability

[@CharlesVanexX]

Hundred percent. It's fine if you don't like something but to jump on a hate train is stupid. I love this game. Doesn't mean I think it's perfect, but it's one of my favorites.

[@kristopherbichsel9230]

I just found your channel tonigt. Glad to find someone still playing. Can't wait to catch up on this playthrough.

[@JUDGERAMBO]

This is where the fun begins.

[@100canadian4]

This game is getting better.

[@TheVoxbox13]

Nice! So hyped to watch this and see what you're going to do with this. Also - Listening to the intro as I write this... LoL. Nice

[@firemark5]

Ha ha, I love the intro. This should make things more interesting. Glad you are feeling better! Game on ya Geezer!

[@gigglingmaniacly7883]

PPPPFFFT Your Grandma plays Starfield

[@DaTravBoo]

Yay!!! Excited about this run. Should be fun.

[@b130610]

So excited for this walkthrough! I'm already planning my next playthrough for the next patch, and this will be great inspiration.

[@GaryMalcolm]

Im playing the 75%... i personally love the ammo weight unperk

[@GaryMalcolm]

I think it rocks to have ammo and gun chests in the self decorated Habs btw.

[@DingaLingu]

Love the intro on this one

[@timetraveler746]

There is one more explody thing you didn't get. From your location at 29:00 go straight ,between the big orange pillar and the white hab module. There you will see a yellow cylinder.

[@TheAngrySaxon1]

Unpopular opinion, but I fucking love this game!

[@Untrustedlife]

I too love it

[@DM7Grumble]

You are correct👈

[@Acylumgaming]

The first playthrough when I was really roleplaying and not worried about building a character or anything was the best. Especially the early game when I was truly weak to everyone and I was just scrounging for ammo.

[@MrSanta78]

This looks awesome. I just can't wait to have this patch. So many options😍 I will probably leave both player/ship damage on normal. I like deadlier enemies, but I don't want to empty two mags to kill a fly. I think it was like that in Fallout 4 survival and I enjoyed it that way.

[@grimptan1]

Something I noticed starting a new playthrough is that VASCO is channeling his inner Codsworth. Named my character Sam and now VASCO calls her "Captain Sam". I hate followers too but I keep him on the ship for the extra power. I haven't tried it yet but the return of "Major Badass" may be viable in Starfield. Got into the Fallout tv show and wanted to see what the game was like so I watched your Fallout series recently. 👍

[@CDangles]

24:25 I am disproportionately entertained by that guy griping about you yoinking his sandwich 😂

[@Toma-621]

I havent been watching you as much since Starfield has lost my interest, but I do pop in from time to time to watch these challenge runs because you've always been good at making BGS rpgs entertaining, and that intro was amazing

[@Civlover10]

Could bring back the old intro from Skyrim and repourpose it into Starfield? The "He makes dum jokes as he shootz his gunz, M4jur Sl4ack is lotz of fun!" intro?

[@michaelcontreras5917]

If the pirates would leave the ship a little quicker you might get them with that trap (reminds me of the Bioshock barrel setups)

[@JackDerr]

It's a good game for sure

[@AbbyFA]

My friends call me weird for always turning off music in games, glad I'm not the only one

[@TheMaLiK5966]

i turn my music off for certain games I actually really like all the music in the game but I get it

[@AbbyFA]

@@TheMaLiK5966 There are definitely some really nice sounding music in some games but I think it's also got something to do with getting sick of hearing the same thing over and over, I also like to feel immersed in combat and music takes that away :p (for me at least)

[@MbryanGames]

Funny to play while watching. I hear audio from tv and react.

[@YUNGSLEEVES]

my favorite game ever made

[@grantbrooks5577]

Slack, you say you don’t like music in video games, but surely you like when Far Horizons starts playing when you’re immersed in Skyrim 😁

[@mikesheahan6906]

Thank you for digressing.

[@TheDoomis]

I’ll probably do like Fallout 4 survival where you take lots of damage but also deal lots of damage

[@Vanguard.Warship.Voyager]

extreme combat businessman..."Tony stark setting". ("Lets see ...money, women, technology...our new friend will be..iron man". Haha

[@ronclark9724]

Extreme difficulty settings usually make enemies bullet sponges. Buy as much ammo you can find! You will need them. Looking forward to seeing you to have at least a Million credits in your account. 🎉🎉🎉

[@richardvowles-j8w]

Whooooo , hell yeah ,here we go again 😀

[@enzo_plays]

And so it begins!

[@alancarrascolapeira9545]

I remember the launch of skyrim a totaly bugy mess, starfield did it better, hope it keeps improving with more patches and content.

[@malterego7853]

I love you man :)

[@Vanguard.Warship.Voyager]

Why not take the boost back from the elevator room on vectera when you grabbed the zero wire? It's easily accessible between the cage bars. (Granted more use when taking bounty hunter background)

[@MajorSlackAttack]

"It's easily accessible between the cage bars." Not anymore. That's behind a master-locked door. They patched those exploits out a couple patches ago.

[@Vanguard.Warship.Voyager]

@@MajorSlackAttack they patched the Mark 1 suit, not the Vectera cage. I just did it yesterday.

[@MajorSlackAttack]

I just tried it an hour ago and couldn't get it and even got stuck trying to get it. You'll see in episode 8. And besides, it IS behind a master-locked cage. If it's not patched out now, they will eventually patch it out.

[@Vanguard.Warship.Voyager]

​@@MajorSlackAttack fair. I take it as exploring vectera before leaving is a pita without one getting over a few of the hills. Gathering 100 aluminum is hard enough ( to prep for outpost on kreet)

[@viralarchitect]

Can you order the playlist so that the episodes are in order?

[@MajorSlackAttack]

It's fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out. 😎

[@Bubble955]

👍

[@edgarbm6407]

I don't care what the haters say. I'm having fun playing Starfield.

[@DrummerElite13]

More power to you, my guy! While I'm not the biggest fan of this game, I'm not going to tell you how to have fun. If you enjoy it, then go nuts. Even though it's okay for people to give their opinion, they shouldn't shame on others who disagree

[@antares4975]

[@DavidBauer38]

I didn’t know you spoke French!!!

[@aquilaxxi7953]

Surely they who attack unmercifullisly Starfield are the same people who once attacked No Man´s Sky. And look at that game now.

[@copperlocke]

The new settings options for Starfield remind me a lot of the settings improvements that NMS made last year. I don't toy with them much in NMS because it feels cheat-y, but the XP gain differential here makes me feel less like I'm cheating and more like I'm adjusting. It's nice.

[@orionrising8236]

You know, a lot of the people who bash Starfield remind me of the people who go on and on about how to, say, play D&D "right." They've never actually played it - they just watched a bunch of video rants about it and are cruising on that sweet sweet bandwagon. I can usually tell a legitimate gripe from an uniformed rant. Slack, on the other hand, learns any game he plays inside out. I truly appreciate that.

[@unknownnative5670]

Ok Slack im going to have to grab some popcorn here and learn haha. I will be hittin up extreme... after you know lol

[@DonEmuKnightQuixote]

The only music Slack tolerates in video games is imperialist propaganda from bards.

[@Brutalgruve]

I used to like this game, I used to, and still do.

[@DirtyDogLogistics]

@MajorSlackAttack after making your character, before going out to meet beret. inside that starter area there are 2 boxes you can open with loot . i have found a legendary pistol. Random spawn?

[@MajorSlackAttack]

An incredibly lucky random spawn. BTW, I looted those containers.

[@DirtyDogLogistics]

@@MajorSlackAttack I know it is a rare spawn xD but when you get it it hits different :D

[@StuPhee]

While I appreciate this patch a lot. There is still a massive amount of heart missing from this game. I'm sure it will be patched even further to be great eventually but it was flatter than fallout 64 on release.

[@CinthiaMcDaniel-Smith]

Even though your language hurt my Christian ears, I enjoyed the video very much.Thanks. 🙉😅 I've been playing since release and I'm on my 31 NG+, so can you tell me if we start over on a new NG+, will we be going back to vectera also and choosing our new traits or will they be doing that somewhere in Narion after we get on our ship after we leave the unity? Sorry, not sure if you tested that yet. I'm on Xbox so, I'm living vicariously through your game, to see what's going on..😂

[@Gnomaana]

Did the patch fix Transfer Containers?

[@lostinbkk555]

Nice I know this game got a lot of hate but I enjoyed and I hope the DLC later in the year is excellent so I can do another complete play thru

[@planetruth1013]

The only thing if anything I think you should be able to have two different saves so you can try different things without losing all your progress if you start again.

[@wingnutmcmoomoo494]

i know i'm 2 months late but you can have as many save slots as you want. It just sorts the saves by character... just hit the button that says "select character" at the bottom of the screen. Its been this way in bethesda games since... fallout 4 i think.

[@Noosh1]

Actually, not sure if anyone’s mentioned this, but there is another explosive container on the roof of the building you come out of, also another loot box and a Paramagnon Conductor

[@michael_m38]

Screw the negativity. I just started a new playthrough and I am having so much fun with this game. people will hate on ANYTHING and its sad

[@DadInTaiwan]

I started playing Starfield on the day of its release. I liked the game, but after a couple dozen hours I stopped because of all the game/quest breaking bugs I encountered. I patiently waited until this new big update, started a new game, and now I'm a couple of hundred hours in and loving it again. I think a lot of people just jump on the hate bandwagon, but I'm happy to say I enjoy Starfield a lot--and the update is a big reason.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

The main change I wanted to make was to minimize ship combat damage on both sides so that there would be a reason to consider lasers and ballistics over particle beams. Boosting vendor credits would be nice too.

[@FreakyFred1234]

Great choice of your character name. Spoiler: Beware starfield planetary explorers of the Mathmos of the Life tree...

[@JamieOnyx]

I would live to see you do Gameplay settings for a more Realistic feel.

[@markblack8521]

I won't lie. I haven't played Starfield in months now and played to NG+10. The game just wasn't really playable to me anymore. Constant crashes (on Xbox), eliminating all the glitches that let you efficiently get credits, it was just painful. These changes intrigue me enough to give it another go. Thanks, Slack. I await this walkthrough with great interest!

[@darthdragonborn1552]

Since I have a brain I’m gonna set ship combat to normal since it’s not balanced with gun combat, and separating it is one of the best changes they’ve made, and I’m gonna set damage taken to extreme, and damage I do to probably normal or easy to simulate more realistic damage so we all die in a few hits. And of course set everything to extreme with +75% x while making frames lol.

[@DirtyDogLogistics]

The new patch really has changed the game. amazing what some good small changes can do for a whole game overall :)

[@jamesgammage3725]

Good to see something that isn't another low-effort "boo hoo Starfield" x 13505001050 clone video. Can't wait for the update tomorrow. Thanks for posting.

[@viralarchitect]

Also, for the explosive barrels, if you hold R and let go, you throw the object. I just throw the big explosive container into the ship and blow it up with them all inside. On easy difficulty it's a one-shot kill for all of them.

[@MajorSlackAttack]

I remapped all my keys so referring to 'R' doesn't help. What does 'R' do in your config? Or what does 'R' do by default?

[@viralarchitect]

@@MajorSlackAttack It's the reload button. Activate drops it, reload throws it.

[@MajorSlackAttack]

Huh. I'll have to try that... (edit) Okay, just tried it. A little underwhelming... It's more of a light toss than a throw. And yes, I held down the Reload button before releasing. Well, thanks anyway... 😎

[@larrywooters8635]

Jeesh. The title of this video is just clickbait....mmmm bait.

Reminds me slightly of the overhaul of Diablo3; the game was patched to the point where the original game no longer exists.

[@MajorSlackAttack]

Not really. You?

[@screamday]

Not yet. I'll be playing on console so I won't update until 5/15....my birthday. 😁 I might even wait for the first DLC before I start another play through.

[@SKRWdFaLife90]

Man I started a new game with not fleas survival mode setting all amped up. Dude the environmental damage is insane. I even have a mod that gives me a environmental seal and still hardly helps. I think I'm gonna have to invest in some perks that prevent me from matching ailments and infections. It's totally making me play completely different I love it. Just wish I could help with the environmental stuff.
