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.

[@PetrusEksteen]

Yup, more than anything I'm excited for the mods. I was suspicious from the moment I heard Todd Howard wave away multiple features, at one point saying "I'm sure that will be an early mod." They 100% banked on modders adding basic QOL features lol. But yeah, they've already got asset replacement working so the Star Wars overhaul is well underway.

[@CatDenys]

your fallout series are one of the best here. trying to back to game with your help and waiting for new content

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.

[@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.

Ship building is fun, until you realize nothing you built carries over to NG+. I was beyond pissed when I found that out. There goes all the hours wasted building ships.

Honestly, the mod community should just abandon it. Move onto a game that won't waste your time.

30 handcrafted planets!?!? Impossible. I would take 3 the size of skyrim or less and easily get 300 hours of play.

[@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.

[@candycommander]

I wonder if hand crafting a smaller amount of planets probably wouldn even be possible for Bethesda anymore. How much of the actual talent is still employed? When you pay 70$ for this abomination. "Who's laughing now?"

[@flaminghollows3068]

Thanks for the review. Always happy to watch your content.

[@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.

[@boxingking70]

To a lot of people, bethesda's games are all about curiosity to explore the environment. I hope they learn and realize that it's not about the number of how much space you can explore, but rather the quality of those space you can explore.

[@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.

Finally, some youtuber Who wasnt bought by Bethesda. Thanks for this friend. I really want to LOVE this Game but even with mods It feels so undeveloped

[@Av1ferreira]

RDR2 and Cyberpunk was also very badly optimized when the PC version came out. The game is good, it has fewer bugs and they lied less than Cyberpunk at launch, it has a lot more content and it's much better than No man's sky. There are more than 300 quests, and in almost half of them, one of your followers will comment on your choices and what's going on. No space game lets you have several people on your ship, and you can interact with them so much, you can even have a romance with them. You can edit your ship in many ways and that's really cool. The game sold 10 million copies, so it's not a problem that some people didn't like it. They made a lot of m

[@justinrisen1929]

The devs knew the game was shit, but then Todd came to the office and said the magic words. "Don´t worry, modders will fix it" Honestly at a point in the future when all is Microsoft exclusive and a MS-Chief says "we do not want mod suport in our games because it can reduce our income when people make things for free" Todd and BS-gamestudio is gone

[@willietanner7085]

Agreed. especially with regard to enemies. So bland and boring. Such a step back. I expected alien races and more space monsters in dungeons etc. Yeah the Terramorphs are cool, but they're partitioned off in a faction quest line that I finished in less than three hours.

correction, its not lazyness, its missfocus... making 1 000 planets was clearly too huge...

[@skunk66]

Here is another shit flavoured gummy to chew on: when I inevitably got pissed at the shitty performance, sick of the Spy Kids tier writing of the main quest, or bored visiting the digital petting zoo on the otherwise pointless planets, I went on a fucking rampage in New Atlantis. Unfortunately when I later tried returning to Jemison, my bounty was around 500,000. The game became soft-locked because I could not even hail the UC Security ship without getting fucking ass blasted by everyone in the airspace. I had no previous save to go back to - luckily I could kill off all but one ship with console commands, which is not even possible on Xbox - you'd have to restart the game. No money, no way to do jail time. The bounty system is completely broken. Can't even play an evil character, except as otherwise scripted for you.

[@Hoenir]

Amazing video. And i agree in all aspects. The first 40 hours were ok, but the more you play the more you notice how basic the systems are in comparison to Skyrim and fallout 4. They pick and chose all the best systems of them and instead of improving upon them, they downgraded everysingle one of them. Lack of enemies variety, lack of armor and weapons, barebone/pointless Outpost/settlement system, no crafting of armor, ammo or weapons, terrible loot system, terrible and pointless exploration, boring/no evil companions, 1000 planets with the same 3 humanoids, 10 aliens and 10 building/exploration points and i couild go on and on listing all the underdeveloped / downgraded systems. the Only new system in starfield is the ship building, because the rest is just assets from Skyrim and fallout 4. Mods can only improve so much. For mods to work the game has to have a proper base to build upon. And starfield has none. What have they done in 8 years of development ? I will never pre order TES VI after Starfield

[@zlostnypopolnik]

If I were a content creator, which I am not and will not be, I would not even deal with this crap. I would cover FO3, FNV, Morrowind, Oblivion, FO4. High tech mods are still being created for these older games, only a few youtubers deal with them, which is a shame, because the new games are shit.

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"

[@OrkDiktator]

cant confirm the bad performance. My system has a R7 5800X3D, a RX6700XT, 32 GB RAM and an old M.2 SATA SSD. With optimized settings and a fps cap at 60 I get stable 60 fps in 1440p in nearly every area. FSR and Dynamic res activated. Even in New Atlantis the game mostly holds 60 fps. I used the recommended settings from Hardware unboxed as a basis. I had some micro stutters, but this problem solved a regedit file I downloaded from Nexus. it's part of a mod called "Performance Tweaks - 20% more fps" or something like that. Download the mod manually and unpack the archive. There is a folder with "CPU" in the folder name, open it and you'll find the registry file. Run it and Starfield's CPU priority will be set to "high" by default. No other mod needed. it completely eliminated all microstutters I had.

Great review! I’ve refused to play the game but couldn’t help myself but watch small clips endless players would upload, as well as a few review videos people have uploaded so far, some positive reviews but the majority negative. I decided I was definitely going to buy it only after at least a year from the release date. I do admit I believe you’re spot on in regards to how this game will be made amazing by modders, although I have to disagree with your statement that Skyrim was made great by modders,-I believe Skyrim was amazing and already a truly great game as a base game before modding was even a thing for it, it’s just that modding made the game immortal. Let’s hope this game is redeemed by the modding community in time!

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.

[@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.

[@Nahan_Boker94]

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.

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?

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.

The Game is boring and I agree with you except the performance is great on my rig, I was running it 4k native, no fsr with 110% internal resolution scaling, 8192 shadows at over 67 to 100fps. On a 7900XTX and 5800X3d.

[@joshrodgers9366]

We need a game that is no mans sky and new vegas combined.

[@ermac6466]

its not very bethesda like to have less options in graphics in your game than previous releases.

[@giancarlo5945]

Great review starfield It is one of the worst Bethesda games with the worst exploration what they have done to date. I can't understand how there are so many fanboys of a game that is genuinely mediocre.

[@Oppetsismiimsitsitc]

Starfield will *not* be the best Kenshi game in 5 years.

[@eldorphoto]

I feel you my man... I hate this pile of sh*t just as much as you do, maybe even more (I did try the things you skipped) only to find out that they are 100% useless and you don't need any of that ship building, nor camps, unless you want to get XP to lvl up skills that you will not need to finish this pile of dumpster fire "game". A bad moppet show we got here and Tod cashes in again...

Not the game this year, but definitely the most disappointing for me. Top 2 most anticipated game this yr and it did not meet expectations. The game overall was as boring as FF16s side quest (not main quest which was awesome).

[@boopuchannel]

5 or 6 for this game is way too generous. combat is not enjoyable at all because of the awful AI

[@bdleo300]

Played a few days and deleted it, damn it's boring... empty as Todd's soul. Recycled graphics, bad optimization, repetitive generic enemies, lame generic quests, generic factions, dull dialogues, irritating companions, worthless and pointless 'exploration' (hope they invent horses in distant future, instead of walking). Pretentious yet mediocre game artificially trying to be bigger and more realistic, but failing at both.

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.

[@FromTheWombTotheGrave]

I’ll be wating few years then Ultra mod it

[@liamlinson7563]

atleast you're honest, unlike these bethesda simps

[@zacharylinn313]

You did a really great review, I just wish your channel was large enough to shut up the larger and more biased channels.

[@fabianlaibin6956]

there is equal bias here though, what he wants is fallout in space. also what are you talking about? For one video praising Starfield there would be ten calling out its flaws and ten more doing the same

[@Mavrocket]

The choices are an illusion, unfortunately.

[@bayramaktas4135]

The whole game is a joke and pure mockery of consumers.Shame on you Bethesda!

[@dejagerlaubscher5127]

On xbox the game does not actually work. Keeps crashing. Cant get a refund either . Its a 0/10 from me since you cant actually play it at all. Started to play cyberpunk which is now totally good. Took 3 years to fix. So this will be the same.

[@joshnjericho]

Yeah. The game made me leave a planet to talk to a guy on another planet. Only for that guy to immediately take my money and tell me to go to another planet. I went to a planet to talk to one guy?? Nah. It looks good but that topic about planet traveling hits the nail on the head. It's like skyrim but a loading screen between every person you talk to.

[@justinrisen1929]

Honestly everyones critique and recommendations for how things would be better ie... Less planets more crafted content etc etc..... Wouldnt help.... That game is fundimentally a failure. The world and its lore story and characters and overall art direction are about as boring and generic as you could possibly get. The foundation itself isnt worth the time so nothing could save it imo. BGS is dying folks and it is heartbreaking especially for any hope of ES6 being good.

[@Kessogsasaina]

Seems like they havent learned anything from their last few games. Theu got rid of the voiced protag from f4 but this game might of been in dev before they decided to do that with f4 not sure on the dev time line.

[@thursdayxcv1910]

Probably the best review of this game, though i loved skyrim even without mods, after that bethesda always disappointed me

[@WolfJarl]

And I saved money once again. At this point I'm very tempted to just look for a new hobby instead of gaming when all the series I like are handled by incompetent and lazy companies.

[@localhearthian2387]

Indie gaming might scratch that itch. I'm an order of magnitude more hyped for Citizen Sleeper 2 than I was for Starfield. Hell, Star Control 2 is pretty much a playable 60's Sci-fi show and thats completely free.

[@karolyburkhalter]

Do race/gravel bike, much better than waste all day on computer play games and watch porn lol

[@Cybernaut76]

Dont give up hope or gaming hobby. Rockstar Games is one of the very few and only ones who has remained the real deal.
