Starfield: A Failed Experiment

[@michaelnoctor1519]

What a shame. Makes me even more nervous for TES VI.

[@davidgill2949]

I dread to think what they are going to do to that game after this nightmare. I have zero confidence in their ability to deliver at all.

[@BoogieWoogieCat]

Well, at least with TES and Fallout, they cannot mess up the fact that those franchises have charm that's already been established. Starfield is a new IP, which they had to come up with and create things that would make it appealing and they failed at making something unique. But TES and Fallout already have so much identity, it'll be hard to mess up, which is why even a mediocre Fallout or TES game, is still a good game for a lot of people.

[@LiberatedMind1]

@@BoogieWoogieCat Hate to crap on your optimism, but they already wrecked Fallout. Fallout 4 is mediocre and not well rated among fans of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and 76 of course was a dumpster fire (at least upon) launch.

[@Skumtomten1]

The elder scrolls series has always been one of my favorites, but I have no hope for elder scrolls 6, don't even care at this point. Bethesda isn't what they used to be, it's sad to come to this realization but it is the truth. Fallout 4 for all it's flaws was still a great game, and with mods it's tons of fun. To me it will probably be the last good game they will ever make.

I lacked my usual desire to go back to playing with this game since the release on September 6. It sincerely felt like a chore each evening I sat down to play, and felt like I was playing just to get the sense getting my $90 worth of entertainment out of it. Your video became the nail in the coffin :) I want my $90 back.

The game is actually so immersive that you have to run in a NASA PC, definitely deserve the MXR seal of immersion.

[@adrianguinn3331]

I got the cherry on top for ya... ready for this?? On console (brand new SeriesX)clicking on a favorited weapon does not unequip it. Meaning if you ever equip a weapon, ever, you have to physically go to the save screen, go to your inventory, unequip the weapon, and back all the way out to use unarmed combat. Then click on whatever weapon you're using for distance, weaken, close the distance, then back into your inventory screen and repeat. Tens of times in every single battle you ever fight. Holding x to put up your weapon doesn't help..if you click RT it pulls your weapon back out. Not your fists. Clicking an empty slot in your favorites does nothing. Doesn't even take away your weapon, so that doesn't help either. Meaning.... the bouncer and gangster backgrounds are absolutely worthless. Unarmed is worthless. There's no practical way to even use the very thing I bought the game for. To make myself. I do it in all Bethesda, specifically fallout, games. My father was a boxer, I was a locksmith, and I'm an entertainer. So the talking shit, unarmed, thief is right in my wheelhouse... but for this game it's virtually impossible to do. And don't even get me started on the persuade 'system' (using that term VERY loosely lol) Thank you for seriously being the one voice of reason during this launch..I will never again doubt the existence of astroturfing during game launches. Holy shit the amount of fawning over this dumpster fire... Anyway, cheers. Great vid. Keep em coming 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

[@PancuroniumB]

It's the same on PC. You can't switch to your fists without going into the inventory and manually unequipping your weapon. I honestly have no idea what they were thinking.

[@warbaby32]

...and nobody payed attention to the interviews with Tood: In short - the game is the way it is now, because BGS has still not given up on the concept of making money off modders. In a month or two - when modding comes for Xbox - they will present the "new and improved" Creation Club... mark my words.

[@abcephei]

You called it. Paid mods are back in Skyrim and they will definitely be introduced in Starfield and Fallout 4 next

[@TheModdedMachine]

I would take 30 giant fully developed planets vs 1000 barren rocks. They went for quantity over quality and it really hurts the experience. By reducing the scale of generic planets and focusing on the actual settled systems that matter (UC, Freestar, and Crimson Dawn) more time could have been spent in creating unique locations worth exploring.

[@sirab3ee198]

Experiment means trying something new ..... Bethesda just xeroxed Oblivion and took the nice parts out and left the boring ones. This game is BASIC, calling it mediocre like most people do its an insult to mediocrity.

[@fr0zen1isshadowbanned99]

This Game is soooo bad. I wish it wasn't... No Vats - No Gore - No diving - borked Stealth - No Weapon/Armor Repairing(Durability System) - No Building your own Ship/Equipment from Material you Mined/Gathered - No real End-Game Goals - No Transmog - No making your own Contraband - NPCs not dropping what they wear - Can't open Doors, defuse Mines, use Items... when in Scan Mode - Can't control jump height. NPCs can do that. A Charge up Meter is really needed on some Moons, or you fly off like a Rocket - Boost Packs are not really suitable ever/meaning that you need different kinds of Boosters for different Situations but also you need Resistances against Korrosion, Air, Radiation, Bio, and somewhat level conforming Laser, EMP, Bullet Resistance = you need 12+ Boost Packs - Crafting and Building Copy Paste from FO4 but with worse placement control - Awful Controls overall. The game works on GamePad but you need your whole Keyboard if you choose to play on the Keyboard. Make ready to rebind 50 Keys and ignore Conflicts - Very few and lackluster Feats - You should start with level one on each Skill - Skills need to be way more "Exotic". ATM they are mostly "more DMG, can Craft, can buy, can fly - Item Feats are mostly useless and are Copy Paste from FO4 - Skill progression is mostly forgettable and unimaginative - EXP from discovering, Hacking, building, crafting is nearly not existent - Item Notifications gone after 1.5sec = can't check Stats = open Inventory - Carry Capacity sucks - You can't mark individual Items to look/track for - You can't undo all tracking Items - Inventory Menu sucks! StarUI Mod needed = modding mandatory or wasting hours unnecessarily - Can't use Cure Object in Affliction Screen. Again StarUI Mandatory - Not showing "Weather(Corrosion/Radiation...)" Conditions on Planet before landing- Map is awful - Quests send you to places you can't reach - Lifeless Planets are useless - Copy pasted Bases/Caves... no sign of prcedurally generated Locations - Often looking to Scan "Natural Wonder" that I already Scanned because it's not identifyable from the Picture - Planet Map shows 100% scanned even if it's not because of "Costal Area" - Escort Quests that have you travel 1000m+ for low reward - You can't ban Useless Items from Scanner - Rare/Legendary/Epic Items cause 2sec Game Freeze when Equiped and changing to Scanner or cyceling through Weapons - Space Combat at least unskilled at early Levels is pure Stats Game and often undoable because 3v1 - No feeling of actually flying through Space - You still get Stuck and can not jump when on angled Ground as in FO4/Skyrim/Oblivion... - NPC Money should be infinite or at least increased by 4x - Items you pick up/have in Inventory show the worth they have when you buy them from a Merchant, but they should show what they are worth to you, when you sell them - NPC standing on Pilot Seat so only 3rd Person Space Flight or piloting through gap between NPCs Legs - Enemies/Animals on Planet stacked in a Heap, so you think you will fight 3, but it ends up being 12 or more all stacked into one tiny Spot and into each other - Melee Combat as bad as it was in any other Bethesda Game (look what modders did to Skyrims Combat Animations) - Reloading gets Canceled by running and jumping - Typical Bethesda Bullet-Sponge Enemies - Typical run around/jump over Obsacles and slowly chip away their Health - In Ship flight you need to be able to make custom Presets for "Full Power Weapons, Grav Drive, Engines, Shields..." and bind them to F1-F4 or any other Key you choose - Needs City/Outpost/Other Listing on Star-Map to find the Locations + placement of own nameable Markers - Needs Button to stop Quests from coming in. I get 5 new Quests when running around doing one Quest. I don't know how I got the Quests. I don't know who the Quests are from. I have no connection to them. - NPCs need to stop talking over each other. It just can't be too complicated to program in that only one Voice can be played at once. - Finding Quests is a Nightmare. They need to be Structured much better. Time when Quest received/Location of Quest Giver/Nearby Quests/Location of Quest/Radiant Quest... - Still can't go from Sneak to normal Mode whilst doing any other action / meaning Stealth play feels Crap. Sneak to someone with a Melee Weapon, hit them 1 time, wait for Animation to finish, press "Crouch" Key, wait for your Character to stand up, and engage in Comabt. 1995... 19 F*cking 95!!! - I have been playing the Game for 60 hours now and am Level 30 and still I find the same Fire Axe I found on Level 4 over and over 21 DMG - When on the Map Screen, there has to be a Warning that you can not travel at this moment - I am SEETHING because I activated a Mission but the Game decided to not show me that Mission at all, but two other Missions I do not want to do - I decided to do one of the Missions to see what happens... I now have FOUR Map markers. WTF! And I am not allowed to activate even two Missions - Buy Back Disabled as soon as you leave Shopping Window - Can't pay the debt from Dream Home Perk - Game does not tell you what Skills do until you unlock the Line. That means that you can't work to a specific Skill and know its effect - I managed to lock up the Menu by opening and closing it in quick succession. - Can't move after Loading-Screen, but the NPCs can - Crafting is a F*ing JOKE! You dump Skill points and Materials into upgrading but then you look at something like "You can now add a +5 Resistances Mod to Your Jump Pack". And that one cost me 2 Skill Points btw. No mention of that beforhand! - No Planet Wiki showing me what Planet I have been on and what I found on that Planet (Alien Species, "Geysers", Flora...) - No Crafting of Weapons, Armor, Drugs, that are not already in the Game to find - No Enhancement of Weapon/Armor Mods (Stuff like increase chance to poison Enemy by+5%, by "infusing Weapon with 500 Material X, next 5% cost you 1000, next 5% cost you 2000, next 5% cost you 4000... something to make Mining Stuff on Planets useful)- No Melee Weapon Mods - No Melee Weapon Differences in behavior - Can we have 8k+ Planet Pictures for our "Space Journey"? - Just three Slots for Character Itemization (Not promising for what Variety Mods will be able to offer) - Timescale is F*ed when on some Planets. Wait 1 hour(time-unit) passes a VERY long time. Like wait "24 hours" = wait 2400 hours. WHO the F thought this was a good idea?! - Hold Key for every second Option, but sitting down "just works"

17:50 Bethesda has always used procedural generation in their games, so it's nothing new to them. They've always used it to make landscape, before hand-crafting content on top of it. And that goes back as far as TES: Arena. The difference with Starfield is that they used it too much and because of the scope of the game, the hand-crafted content (which is the largest amount they've ever done), paled in comparison to the procedural content.

[@stubenhockershr1161]

Sometimes i wonder who got the idea, after Skyrim was a huge success, to remove the only outstanding quality of that game, the handcrafted world. Perhaps it just works.

[@slicedtopieces]

I don't share the optimism around anticipating effective overhauls via modding. Modders are players first and they have to be passionate about the game they're making mods for. With how underwhelming this game is, will there be enough modders passionate enough to to really make a dent? (And this presupposes that Starfield's problems are shallow enough that modding can fix them. If on the other hand it's problems are deeper then modding is moot.)

[@kamikaze00007]

Here's an interesting info: The game seems to behave like the AIDA RAM bandwidth test/benchmark. The testing done by Gamers Nexus in co-op with Buildzoid from Totally Hardcore Overclocking shows that the game LOVES high speed RAM. The tests showed that CPUs that are clearly below other CPU models in real-world performance end up getting MORE fps suspiciously because they used RAM with higher MHz. An example would be DDR5 4400 vs 5600. 5600 has 27% more fps in the game despite being paired to what should have been a lower performing CPU as opposed to the rig that had a better CPU but 4400MHz RAM. And the main point? The value 4400 is 27% less than 5600. Totally not a coincidence IMO. This pattern actually continued throughout the testing with RTX 4090's and 7900 XTX's scoring the same fps margin with the best CPU and the same RAM speed. It's obvious that the results would change if the RAM had higher speed being the bottleneck from what was shown. It seems that they made this game only optimized for ultra-high speed RAM or something. Sorry, Todd, but we all can't just go out and buy 7000~8000MHz DDR5 RAM just to play your game.

Finally, someone who talk about the performances. Most reviews in youtubes played by someone that already at the top PC performances so they have no issues for performances. So its again Bethesda skip the optimizations aspects as usual. They done horribly with skyrim that re-released 2 times with 5 years apart. Fallout 4 have issues especially in city. Now Starfield while its not having gamebreaking & crash galore. It's still perform horrendously lol, they even request us to used NASA PC and still have loading screen with SSD. Tbh I lost any expectations of TES 6. With how many things they skipped (since I know they can but chose not to since modders will do free labor to fill their empty huge husk world as usual. It worked since Morrowind and pop at Skyrim/FO4. So they will do more in the future) in Starfield, I doubt they will add amazing things in TES6 except more skipped things. It would be slapping starfield CK to Skyrim just with no killer bugs. You love space explorations? Play No Man Sky. You love space story driven RPG? Play Outer Worlds. You want bethesda FPS? FO4 can give better performance (since its older game and gunplay really similar and easily replicated by mods in nexus) and actual open world that benefited much with SSD or many hardwares that actually can run RDR2 Ultra with no issues but done badly in Starfield.

calling it now, mods wont fix the game. mods cant fix what is fundamentally bad writing, and bad quest making. maybe a large overhaul mod like Enderal etc where good writers make something from the ground up, merely using CK2 as a RPG toolkit. But this game will live in the shadow of older BGS titles. Even Fallout 4 was a weak title but there's some writing to be enjoyed there. Starfield is bland and uninspired. Mods will not fix this game. The old adage 'Garbage in = Garbage out' comes to mind. also now that it seems necessary to badge yourself with hours and playtime, I've finished the game and all the factions too and a bunch of minor quests, about 60/65 hours all in.

[@kendalljones5540]

It runs better than Fallout 4, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Jedi survivor, and countless other games at launch. Could it use better performance? Sure, but it is one of the best performing open world RPGs at launch I have played in the last couple of years. Nintendo titles have it beat, and some Sony exclusives but it runs at a stable 60fps like 95% of the time on PC and never crashes (for me, obviously i dont deny people have had it crash), which I simply cant say for so many other games. I think people wre iust excited because we always want it to be better but if every game launched in this state the past several years it would have been a godsend compared to the way they did release.

I have those, this game runs insanely good for me, and I feel bad for everyone else but if I'm hitting 110 fps without fsr on a 6950 xt and a i5-13600k with 32 gb ddr5 6000 mhz ram with an me.2 then to me that speaks. I'll even go so far as to argue that in this age of terrible games with shitty TAA and over the top CA & bad optimisation, I'm finding starfield a breath of fresh air, I don't care that I get 165fps roughly on other games, there's always a little micro stutter here and then or fps drop when entering new area that's noticeable, like in hunt showdown for example etc But in starfield, I don't get those, it's a consistent experience for me. Is it demanding? yes, but does meeting that demand pay off? absolutely. I don't need 165 fps, I need 100+ fps and a stable seamless experience. It's such a bad faith observation to complain about this game being demanding when it does so much for the ENGINE that it's built in, that's impressive, this shit was in the works for so many years, I'm sure it'd run better maybe if it was made in unreal 5, but you can't build a game for an engine before it's even an idea. I really hope @mreditscinema can find what's causing his stuttering and fix it. But it just reinforces my belief that I'm glad I didn't go for the trap of 4k gaming. Especially when the gains in visual from 2k is so minor, but the cost increase is exceptional.

[@PancuroniumB]

​ @nameisbad You're lucky to have bought the right mix of Intel CPU and AMD GPU that manages to run the game well, but not everyone is so lucky. Nearly 90% of PC players have an Nvidia card, and those perform poorly (although a new driver was released today, maybe there are improvements I haven't checked yet).

[@nameisbad]

@@PancuroniumB To be fair isn't that a reality for almost every game, poor performance increased with subsequent patching and driver updates? Like there's so many hardware combinations out there, that's why PC performance has always been a tricky "fix after release" thing. No developer can afford every hardware combination, nevermind the space it'd take up. But they have users out there that can report issues and statistical data to gather that helps them refine post launch. I'll be real tho, I know people with nvidia gpu's (tbf the really high end ones like 4090) who have no issue at all. I really do think ddr5 ram high freq does make a huge difference, ram usually doesn't make a ton of a difference but for stuttering ( and 0.1/0.01% lows) it seems to have a lot of value. I do recommend this CPU to everyone tho who wants a mid range cpu, it's insane value. I've never been a fan of AMD cpu's for some reason.

[@MrEditsCinema]

@PancuroniumB yeah I'm literally just pushing 60fps in the citys. I've downloaded the DLSS frame generation mod as you mentioned in the video it helps with cpu bottleneck areas. The mod is a must..I've increased DLSS to quality mode (67% render resolution) and now I'm getting 95 to 120 FPS in the citys..pretty much 100+ FPS everywhere in the game. I know it's fake frames but actually works extremely well..citys feel much better. 4 hours with the frame gen mod too, no crashes, glitches etc

[@Av1ferreira]

Dude, the city is full of NPCs that give you quests, some boring, some cool, it's not for you to keep jumping from moon to moon hoping to find a amusement park.

[@johnmcpherson9744]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@dennismoose2152]

Yeah I hated fallout 4 but loved 3 new Vegas and every tes release yet couldn’t enjoy fo4. Needless to say dat starfield go HARRd

[@moisty254]

Yeah I've played about 10hrs and it's just so damn boring!

[@WeeklyRanting]

Even the turrets have the same name as in FO4, they got that lazy. I keep getting the same guns generating, despite changing difficulty to see f that would spawn different items. I've had loads of console glitches but non for PC. Plus GamePass has terrible connection most days. & Modders do most of the work and get paid nothing in return it's a joke tbh.

[@figurehead3021]

Pretty much a given - you can tell how bad or sloppy a AAA title is by evaluating the quality and/or uncanny valley effect of NPC/player face models. Starfield.....preeeetty much fails on that front LMAO.

[@nameisbad]

Nah this is just someone trying to cash in on the small voices of some. Most people are enjoying the game, the reviews are good, the steam reviews are good, lots of people having a blast of a time. Just stop being edgy, it's getting tired, we've been doing this shit for a decade now and it's crap, are there things starfield could improve on? absolutely. Is it bad? no. A failed experiment? no. Lastly, people don't understand optimisation. the game is demanding and that won't change, there can be more optimisations but most the mods are compromises, some shaft good pc's to help weaker pc's. the game runs smooth all the same for anyone with a good pc. The biggest factor that's causing people issues is the following: It's time to move to DDR5 ram, it makes such a difference in this game.

[@asundelgun3487]

People are mindless drones and that's why they're enjoying this crap. Madden and Call of Duty continue to be the highest selling games every year and we are supposed to believe a game is good because people are enjoying it lol yeah no one including the guy in this video said its wrong for people to enjoy. He said HE didn't. I don't either and there are plenty of people that don't either. How about let everyone have there opinion there tough guy

[@nameisbad]

​@@asundelgun3487 And what's wrong with liking madden and call of duty? I don't personally like sports games but I'm not going to call fans of them "mindless drones" because that'd be unfair to them and I'd rather not be that guy. What's wrong with those ip's is how little they change over releases, little less true of cod, but hey it's a game with guns they are all the same hur dur right? Kind of shit a mindless drone would say who can't see nuance right? I mean you sound way too emotionally invested in this conversation already, I never said he said you can't enjoy it, I was replying directly to his tldr in description as his main points. Proclaiming starfield a failed experiement? that majority you try to hilarious push aside as it's inconvenient to you so you throw shade at them suggests objectively that it's a successful experiment. Objectively. Most people enjoy it. Cringe like this: How about let everyone have there opinion there tough guy Is so damn problematic when you don't have the self awareness to realize it's hypocritical, you are attacking my opinion of an opinion, by your own logic you the "tough guy" gtfo bro, mad tired of people who are like "most people like it but that's hurrr irrelevant because uuurr me and plenty of others dislike it huuuurr" Your opinion is fine so long as we abide by your rule of ignoring statistics within context. Ooo the majority, so uncool dude, no way bro the majority is like drones man, we the real people we minority... ^ that shit really your point? please god no. gtfo.

[@rokpepeshogun]

Do we consider this fake news, what people talk about? Seems like it. But not all is fake, it's a Bethesda Game, dont get hyped about anything Todd says and you are good. Wouldn't it be maxed at 30fps for console, we would have gotten another Star Citizen.. but mods will fix it, huh?

[@josephmatla1743]

Eh I still love this game But I am amazed u haven't haven't had any bugs lol

[@gladysmaria9804]

I was never going to buy it i don't like space games so i will not even watch people playing it on KZbin,if i was going to buy it i would wait 5 years at least like i did with Fallout 4 when you can get the game and all dlc's for under $10 and the modders have fixed nearly everything.I had to laugh when Howard was bragging about the updated Creation Engine i was like yeah Todd that is like giving a 95 year old woman a boob job.

Is 10 million copies a failure?

[@Andriej69]

@@Av1ferreira Are you seriously counting gamepass?😂🤣 The cope is real

[@The_Catnip_Collective]

upgrade your CPU and get some modern ram. no GPU or update will fix your stutter enough with the bad performance already it runs smooth af

[@Pixx2266]

Lmao the ignorant trash response. You do realise that DLSS was only added not long ago and also people with 4090 reported how shit the game ran after launch.

[@Government-is-slavery]

Honest review 👍

[@aceskeletonne7446]

im surprised you didnt mention the lack of not being able to loot npcs clothing, its a small feature but it goes a long way in making the looting more fun

[@MrEditsCinema]

There's a mod but yeah it's not a excuse

[@biper87]

​@MrEditsCinema next game from Bethesda should be named "Modfield"

[@nameisbad]

Really really don't think that's a feature that would go a long way, I haven't changed my clothing since probably my first hour. But maybe I just haven't found a good one yet. I just saw 5% reload and stuck with that.

[@Matticus898]

It feels like the content had to be CCP approved

[@OffTheRailGaming]

It seems like something seriously wrong went on with development. I'm sure that even the devs at bethesda knew it wasn't gonna be good when they planned to release it.

[@justinrisen1929]

They had to have known there is no way i can be convinced otherwise. Or if im wrong...... Some people just have zero imagination.

Nasas long design cycles result in those designs being technically outdated, before they are even finished. Is that the insiration they took from Nasa?
