Music is way too Loud and unnecessary

[@SpyDogInu]

Nice video. Only your background music is little to loud. New sub. :D

[@EatSplode]

Thanks for watching! Audio is definitely something I need to keep working at, I appreciate the feedback there.

[@MerlinKapur]

Agree Music is way too Loud compared to your Voice

[@theodorebrill5322]

Agreed

[@MegaTroubleII]

@@EatSplode Having it at the current volume during transitions and then fading it by like 50% whenever you start talking would be a nice touch I think

[@mordenohare2550]

Dude your background music is way too loud. I enjoyed what I could hear though I look forward to trying the game myself in the future.

[@EatSplode]

Sorry! I'm still trying to get into the groove of things but I appreciate the feedback and will do a better job of ducking the audio in the next video. Thanks for watching still!

[@attrage7545]

Seconded: it's a good idea to have NO background music - if your content is engaging enough it's simply not necessary. It doesn't add anything.

[@SimmerCK]

I could not really enjoy the game until I unlocked a certain amount of perks as well as level-locked features. My approach now, when starting a new game, is to start a manufacturing outpost that generates XP as well as cash and switch things up with kiosk missions, upgrading my ship, perk challenges as I go about gaining XP, and the smaller quests. I don't touch the more enjoyable quests. I save them for later. When I feel like I've unlocked enough perks, I then play the main quest and then start NG+. I am then free to play more like I want without being locked out of some ability and I also start playing the major quests. I think the 6/10 score is fair.

[@baitposter]

Most fun I had was found by giving myself all of the perks that either unlock a game mechanic, crafting recipes, or other editing ability right at the beginning before setting off to adventure.

[@FMBriggs]

Starfield is like one of those cursed photos that gets worse and worse the longer you gaze at it. I played at launch and put about 250 hours into the game, but there's just so many little annoyances about the game, as well as it missing so many features, that I'll probably wait for a few years before playing again.

[@englishnacho3087]

Exact same as you... put in a ton of hours and eventually just walked away. It was a lot of repetition. Go way over here, okay good, now go way over there.

[@andreig4328]

Background music is way too loud.

[@levioyster9291]

reupload without the music, I left the video quickly lol

[@Simsonlover222]

i agree with u with the reward stuff... the best bethesda engine reward system in my opinion is enderal - a fan based game based on skyrim engine... every time you faced enemies in a dungeon or i dunnow in the open, you get loot that you cant buy or craft.. and the stronger the enemies, the better the loot... the diversity in effects and stuff was huge... every gear complementing another playstyle... the legendary effects in starfield are often meh.... fallout 4 had some crazy legendary effects like slowing down time, or freeze enemies when doing cricital shots... there also some cool effects in starfield, but explosive bullets are not so strong... the ammo that says something like "tesl pylons" is not great... meh ^^ you can definetly have fun in starfield, if you give it a chance... but the thing is you really "need to want to give it a chance" because alot of stuff is so different than fallout 4... i have a friend who never played any fallout and now i can understand why it is too much for him i still have issues with some things (areas feel sometimes too limited, small, german lipsync is out of place, face animations are ugly (prefer FO4 faces honestly), bse building is meh (but there are AMAZING MODS ALREADY WICH GIVE HUNDREDS OF ITEMS AND ROBOTS AND STUFF).... ship builder interiour is too limited, i want a starship that feels inside like a living room... no real faction, no politics, no settler in settlements... quests sometimes lame... thousands of planets but each have the same stuff going on, walking to quest marks is boring and takes forewer... bethesda adding cars is really nice plus rewarding players for higher difficulty with more xp is very nice and there are nice things in this game

[@12deathguard]

I made Sigouney Weaver from the alien franchise as my character.

[@DixtunBabyAngel]

Omg why that music? It's so distracting from what you're saying :/

[@DrVenture45]

Dude the music! It's a good vid, but I'd have preferred to hear you talk than to hear that. 😂 It was not only repetitive, but nearly at the volume of your voice level. Never again!

[@EatSplode]

Sorry man, but thanks for checking out my video. Definitely will be paying a lot more attention to audio levels on the next one.

[@91Speedmaster]

Great Video, when i went to like it i was suprized you only had 66subs, i thought you would have had atleast 200k or something :D, keep up the good word hope you get more subs soon.

[@EatSplode]

Thanks my man!

[@Broadjjj]

Review ruied by background music, only got half way through!

[@Broadjjj]

I have subbed to your channel tho

[@dylans8793]

Lol didnt even wait for the may update, purposely review it right before 😂

[@wdf70]

My biggest gripe is that every planet has 1 or 2 Points of interest. This is supposed to be the capital of the Freestar collective, yet it looks like a backwater town that has nowhere near the amount of resources needed to fight an inter-star system war with the more dominant factions. Imagine if each planet was a Skyrim sized map with all the work and effort that map had put into it. Where each planet had their main capital city and then a few settlements dotting the countryside here and there with maybe 1 or 2 smaller cities. But nah...1 city per planet. No real quality to them. You don't spend time in the cities as all your quests tell you to piss off into space and go somewhere else. Loading screen, warp, loading screen. Starfield is just all wasted potential.

[@EatSplode]

Yeah, it doesn't make a ton of sense that these plants only have one point where everyone decided to live rather than having a few settlements across more habitable places. I didn't enjoy all the clicking through maps just to warp around.

[@wolfsbane9985]

That's a very common thing with main line Bethesda games. The scale of their lore far exceeds the ability of their games. Like the Freestar Collective capital being smaller than Windhelm in Skyrim, and yet they fought a galactic war? Please. One battleship could glass the entire town in a few minutes. Suspension of disbelief I suppose

[@TheAkeem11688]

No aliens a space game with no aliens attacking you are to fight or to meet what the fuck

[@imitenotbe]

there's tons of aliens lol

[@mattclements1348]

I couldn't finish it ,i tried lvl 45. Its boring, fetch quests, characters are lame, world is not believed, dont get me started on inventory

[@wardengentles53]

Inventory...😔😔😔 How did they mess up inventory so bad? Good lord

[@wardengentles53]

It's SO good that millions of players went to Fallout 4 after the update! So, pretty good, huh?

[@scroatymcboogerballs8554]

lol not on PC. Thing broke everyone’s mods. Said modders have released a de-updater in just 4 days. That’s how bad their “update” is 😂

[@wardengentles53]

@@scroatymcboogerballs8554 A whole bunch of us play console, and could care less about mods

[@scroatymcboogerballs8554]

@@wardengentles53 bro, this game has been legitimately unplayable on console for 8 years. I’m not saying everyone can just go out and grab a gaming pc, but at a certain point, this is on you. I don’t think it’s fair to destroy 8 YEARS worth of mod creation so Boston can finally be optimized on Xbox. I say this as a person who originally bought it on console, got the hint and then bought it on pc once i eventually bought a gaming rig.

[@wardengentles53]

@scroatymcboogerballs8554 What are you talking about??? I've played it just fine when it came out. Same old Bethesda jank you'd expect. But I had 0 trouble playing it since 2015. You seem to have a problem. I do not. Good luck with everything

[@scroatymcboogerballs8554]

@@wardengentles53 So you were able to get the game to work in downtown Boston on console. Funny I wasn’t. If it was just base Bethesda jank, why do you feel it was necessary to screw up millions of peoples mods to update the game then?

[@wizzle-]

Great, real review. Refreshing to see someone without Bethesda Blinders on. Cheers to you and looking for more honest game reviews and looks.

[@g0dsf3ar71]

The game is not bad, but I never expected a Bethesda game to feel so tedious.

[@trissmerigold7722]

You surly are in the minority of people who didn't play at launch..... it was the most played singleplayer of 2023, probably now too, despite there being other "great" game releases..... people took off work to play this

[@EatSplode]

Totally true, but I knew a fair bit of people were sucked into Baldur's Gate at the time (myself included), and it's difficult juggling big RPGs like that for some. People who didn't play at launch are definitely the minority, but I think there's still a good amount of people there. Thanks for watching!

[@kylenyce8198]

no one with a brain is still playing starfield.

@@kylenyce8198i am and i love it man i got over 7 days of gameplay

[@wardengentles53]

I don't believe it's the "most played" single player game bro. Maybe at one time during launch. But it's damn near forgotten now. People are playing fn Fallout 4! Updating a 10 year old game got better reviews.

[@happyspaceinvader508]

I watched this video with AirPods Pro and the music level seemed fine… but a notch lower wouldn’t hurt.

[@12deathguard]

It's also important to remember that Starfield had a similar budget and development time as Red Dead Redemption 2.

[@imitenotbe]

RDR2 was the first time all Rockstar studios were pulled together to work on a single game, which was around 1000 developers. BGS has 250. also the "similar budget" is only if you're looking at the very low end of RDR2's estimate. At the high end, it's 30% more for RDR2. Some "important to remember" info lmao

[@12deathguard]

@@imitenotbe you are of course right that rockstar had more developers and more money. To me in my mind it was close enough to where I feel like Bethesda should have made a better game with the time and budget they dedicated to starfield.

[@imitenotbe]

@@12deathguard that's subjective. I think a lot of people had expectations of the game they created from nothing and then got mad that the game didn't have those things. You can see a ton of that in these comments alone lol

[@91Speedmaster]

I like the guns aswell, but the main story line is preety boring, I spend most of the modding the game Waiting for E$6 hope its a better then this.

[@ThousandairesClub]

*I think if you've played Outer Worlds, you don't need to play Starfield At All* 🕵

[@imitenotbe]

Outer Worlds is even less of a space game than Starfield lmao it's no surprise the game flopped as hard as it did. I expect we may see Obsidian closed after Avowed flops too

[@ericbetterman9220]

I had a giant pile of perk points at the end of this game that I wasn't interested in even spending. Starfield sucks.

[@Truewiddy1]

That's a you problem that you didn't majority of perk I do different playstyles approach things differently

[@ericbetterman9220]

It's a widely agreed upon consensus about the game. Choices matter little to nothing in starfield. @@Truewiddy1

[@ericbetterman9220]

It's actually a Bethesda problem. They should stop making crappier versions of the same game they've been making for 20 years. @@Truewiddy1

@@Truewiddy1how many possible “approaches” did you convince yourself there is in this game lol

[@ilexcorp]

1:41 I've been playing the game for 3 days and im already tired of these space stations.

[@MrKlotzek]

I have played and loved all bethesda games since Oblivion but this game is just very bad and a torture to play in my opinion. I really tried to like it. Gave it multiple chances but gave up after ten hours. I would not get better after 10 hours, as the core gameplay with the loading screens and random maps is a dealbreaker for me. It was by far the biggest dissapointment i ever had with a game.

[@TheDude1980]

You're right, it wasn't a bad game... because it was a terrible game. This was supposed to be Todd's magnum opus

[@aroccoification]

How embarrassing that bethesda and obsidian make games that are worse than and have little to no inovation from rogs that cane out decades ago

[@blankspace178]

Thoughts on the video: 1. Background music is WAY too loud. 2. Commentary is derivative of other creators. 3. No one cares about character creation, you're literally wearing a helmet in game. Thoughts on Starfield: 1. I hate it when every enemy explodes for no reason on death.

[@joenewson3376]

"I don't like Bethesda games, but I'm gonna talk about a bethesda game." yea I'll pass don't recommend this crap KZbin 😂😊

[@thisguy4505]

"Who looks like this?" Fanatical SJWs. and Bethesda developers.

[@scroatymcboogerballs8554]

Advice for Bethesda: make creation engine open source, give modders full access to your copyrights, then declare chapter 11 and disappear. 😂

[@valentinvas6454]

In my humble opinion the Creation engine should be either greatly reworked or just ditched entirely. The only thing it's good at is physics simulation of random items and moddability (if that's even a word). It sucks ass at most other things. It's terribly inefficient so many better looking games run better like Cyberpunk, RDR2, Forbidden West or Frontiers of Pandora. Data streaming is terrible so we can never get fast vehicles in densely packed areas.
