i have 150 hours in starfield and agree completely. there is not a single thing starfield does that the studios previous games didnt do better. ive been a bethesda fanboy most of my life so i really tried to like it but still dont feel like i got my moneys worth despite the playtime.

[@adrianwilliams6577]

Developers won't always admit they're selling an early access product, like Cyberpunk 2077 Starfield will need more baking time and development before players start to say the game is fun. Bethesda is likely to need longer than CD Project Red to make their game worthy of purchase.

[@TheManOfTheHourEveryHour]

I have 0 hours in this pile of trash game and am better off for it... I've only seen sunken cost clowns defending this sheer middling effort from the same studio that swindled them with 16x the gaslight that was FO76 😂

SF is worth playing (assuming you like the genre). It is however, most assuredly NOT worth $70. I got my copy included in an AMD promotion; worth every penny.

[@ChipsChallenge95]

Everything about this game simply sucks. Even the world building, which is bethesdas strong point, sucks, and might even be the worst part of the game

[@deuswulf6193]

Well, here's the thing about world building and Bethesda. The only original thing they have is the elder scrolls, and the original team is likely gone from the studio, while its founder was driven out with the help of Todd Howard and some corrupt lawyer who was running Zenimax. Fallout was acquired from Interplay. Both pretty much had their worlds already built by then. Current Bethesda is likely not all that good at world building, they are relying on their name and on the IP's name to sell the products.

[@Andriej69]

Bethedrones need to be reminded that their favorite studio is a giant living failure, and even the success of that shitty Fallout show won't help them

[@AetherXIV]

name any feature of the game (except the ship builder) and I'd give it a 5/10

[@DrVenture45]

I think that some people who defend the game should understand that there's nothing wrong with disliking it. It's not going to be everyone's "cup of tea". While there are some aspects I personally don't mind about the game, there are a few things that bug me to this day (be they technical, or developmental). I can't really be excited about new content when there are bugs that haven't been addressed. Also, while story-based DLC has some people salivating, random unexpected situations could be just as exciting; case in point, being attacked upon landing as opposed to walking to a location to meet an aggressor. And yes, there's more that needs to be done before Starfield can truly be Bethesda's opus...and that's just being honest.

[@TheMusicolophile]

I’ve been attacked upon landing. You understand that each person’s play through is going to be different for this game. Your play through is also dependent upon your decisions throughout the game. Have you encountered Poacher’s or Rival Agents?

Either you haven't played many games and they've all been great, or you're trying to get easy views while coming late to the party by jumping on the Starfield hate bandwagon. It's not the greatest game ever and certainly didn't meet its potential but it's still a good amount of fun for many, and easily launched in a more playable and complete state than say, Fallout 4 or especially 76, which are both currently seeing a resurgence in popularity. This game will ultimately live or die by its mod support, but unless Bethesda/Microsoft really mess that up, I expect we will be seeing people revisiting Starfield when it has had time to mature some.

[@Woupsme]

I suffered through 12 hours before giving up. Hope the updates later this year will make it less barren and tedious

[@VeloxCorvum]

I've just started playing and have about 50 hours. I disagree with some of the points you've made, particularly regarding the levelling and skills. I like the fact you've got to plan and develop your characters individual skills before jumping to a new one. I also feel that the levelling is quick enough that I find myself forgetting about the skilltree and coming back later to like 4/5 points at once. I definitely see you point though as it can be tedious. The main thing that's kept me playing is the story. Definitely not the main story because its pretty uninspired and become a 'space god' doesn't do it for me. However, the faction quests, particularly the UC & crimson fleet, are brilliant and some of the best narratives I've seen in a while. I have to admit, the level design and planetary traversal is boring as hell and I've only been able to keep playing to see where the story goes. I doubt you got to all the 'Unity' stuff since you didn't play for that long but part of is completing the EXACT SAME fetch quest 24 separate times. Its such a shame because starfield could've been incredible and you can still see some of the spark in the narrative and world building. Overall I'd give it a 7/10 but only because I'm the sort of person who can give up a bit of the gameplay for a good story.

Recycled graphics from 2015, optimization non existent, animations from Oblivion, stale combat from FO (without vats), empty sterile worlds, pretentious yet very weak main story, tedious and uncreative side quests (90% of them made for 10 years old kids), dull generic factions, repetitive generic enemies, irritating and boring companions and NPCs in general, even more boring, super-slow and mostly useless 'planetary exploration', complete lack of planetary vehicles, terrible AI, bad leveling system (items&enemies), terrible UI, aggressive woke propaganda, endless loading screens and countless bugs (my favourite: disappearing ships, not sure if they fix that one). If it's not Bethesda, no one wouldn't even mention about StarfaiI anymore.

[@joemama114]

I won't like 100+ hours into starfield and I can say, it doesn't even really get any better. Which the game told me when starting out, piloting and ship design are pretty much mandatory for mid to late game. You come across higher level ships even in lower level zones and they are better than you in every way, there's nothing you can do when you're 1v4 and outgunned in rank A ship.

[@BenChieeal]

Starfield was the first game where I experienced sunk-cost fallacy. I spent so much, I was determined to "get my monies worth". After 120 agonizing hours, NG+, vanilla and mods, I can officially say I fucked up when I paid money for Starfield. I've never felt so much disappointment in a video game. From the gameplay, to the story, to the world building, it all just sucks. Add in the woke girl-boss saturation for kicking you while your already down and you have a disaster. Sad. Just sad.

[@Discovery2024-rn8kn]

Like all Bethesda games, fun and new for the first hour exploring the sandbox then...got boring. The writing, narrative, content is for 6 year Olds. Here hoping Bethesda does a v2.0 overhaul to the game.

[@bdleo300]

Coz they're recycling the same concepts and design since Oblivion and Morrowind. Same Iame quests, cringe dialogue and mediocre story, same boring combat, same dead NPCs... it actually devolved since Skyrim in some aspects, for example NPCs in Skyrim &Oblivion had daily routines (like in Gothic2 or KCD). In Starfield named NPCs just stand in the same spot 24h with one or two idle animation.

[@jfkst1]

It is NOT like other BGS games. Exploration is pointless. That is massively different and a huge flaw.

[@GoryionB]

I know some people love this game. But, some people like games about work (Farming, driving big rigs, etc.) This game is pure tedium. There are some mods that help. But no matter what, going from the surface of one planet to another is going to be 3-6 loading screens depending on how you do it....

[@eternaldarkness3139]

I absolutely hated my first 20 hours in Starfield. I did not partake in activities that would level my character quickly, so the lack of skill points really diminished the enjoyment. Around level 20, it felt much better. There's things I genuinely enjoyed about SF. Certain questlines, the creature designs, and most of all Glitch-Building ships. My A10 & F16 were quite well received. There was plenty I dislike as well: Terrible Stealth System, Boring Repetitive Exploration, Idiot Enemies, Mistakenly thinking Pirate-RP was viable, Empty Enemy Ship & Asteriod Pet Bugs. (I can overlook the lazy writing.) SF was okay, but I'm glad my copy was included as part of an AMD promotion. I'll check out the update next week, see how much it improves combat. Personally, I don't think this update will make SF worth returning to for most players. It's definitely good for those who still enjoy it though.

[@bdleo300]

I actually didn't hate my first 20 hours in Starfield, it was still new I guess... but after 20 hours I realized this game has absolutely nothing to offer apart from recycling the same planets, enemies... story is bad, companions are terrible, quests are boring, factions are IaughabIe (space cowboys). I somehow managed to endure another 20 hours, until I really started to hate it...

[@Moosemanity]

I played it all the way through, it's lacking a lot.

[@mblair5327]

I can level a character to 100 faster than I can get a character to 20 or 30 in other games so needing lots of perk points to unlock things isn't an issue to me.

Starfield was released with Bethesdas other studios not doing their hobs. Why they were fores and the studios closed. Starfield is the cyberpunk of 2024. Cyberpunk bandwagon jumpers called that game trash. Starfield will be the biggest comeback game in history. Mark my words. Its so much netter wirh maps. I own every Bethesda game. Including daggerfall on pc. Its not perfect...yet. But hey thats my opinion

[@bdleo300]

Cyberpunk was trash and still is, no matter what bandwagon jumpers (CDPR adoring fans and paid shiIIs) say. It was completely broken on realize, now it's just partially fixed but still buggy and mediocre as always.. yet CDPR invested huge money into marketing so bandwagoning sheepIe now love it.

[@wilssantos2]

That's funny, because after not playing it on release, I came back after the patch and I'm having a blast with Starfield. Like, all of your criticisms are either about things that I actually like, or about things that I don't mind lol. It's interesting how one thing can generate such different perceptions on different persons.

[@KS-ro7lm]

The generated zones kill the biggest thing every one of these games had going wich was handcrafted storytelling through visuals and npc dialog giving us reason to explore, them taking out interesting weapons/gear and perks and stats was just so they could spend no time developing the actual game systems.

[@savageaeternum6047]

0:46 You have put 15 hours into the game and you can make a review. The monotony of today's gamers eludes me....do not come out for any review until you have put at least 100 hours into any game out there. I personally have 832,7 hours into Starfield and I still have to make my first NG+ game. The game world is huge and yes I can see that it might not be interesting for everyone, but that doesn't give you or anyone else the right to trash a game, and buddy you made 15 hours only...Gee, I wonder if you even made it into space at all since only 3,5% of people who played the game have ever gone into space itself. And those 3,5% are the people who trashed this game with bad reviews and made clickbates just like you did with this video here.

They could have easily fixed this game by completely removing the "You require x more points in lower tier skills to get the skill you want" Let me start leveling the skills I want to, from the start, why not? Why would knowing anything about the hand scanner have any influence on weapon modding or suit modding? Also there are TONS of skills that have 0 right costing 4 skill points, many of them should have been 2 point maximum investment, that would cut down on the tedium of research. Far too many of the RPG elements of this game feel horrible, forced and arbitrary gates, rather than for any meaningful reason or game-play enhancing reason.

This is the same shit i saw with The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect Andromeda, the ban vagon is crazy. The unwanted and unwarranted hate is not normal. I just passed 830h mark. Just in past 2 weeks by steam i have made 154h of playtime and over 830h in total. Am i stoping any time soon, hell no, this is my primary game now and nothing else i played can compare to how much staff i can do while playing Starfield. From Bounty hunter with his own head wanted all the time by trait, to runing cargo and passanger runs, being ambushed upon entering systems by mercs or pirates and claiming their ships for myself and those are the most fun and trill when i get outnumbered and still get out on top and than also attacking bounty hunter defenders who want me alive for the bounty on my head to be bigger but i decide not to leave them alone, working as corporate spy is my favorite story line and framing other corpos in process is that much more satisfying when i finish all the optional quest during quest line, being literal Clint Eastwood and renaming my space version of 44 magnum "Do you feel lucky punk", working my way as a literal colonial marine in UC Vanguard story line and becoming bug hunter like Johny Rico from Starship Troopers or VJ Dax from second movie who was badass btw, and finally working as a maul within crimson pirates to assist Syss def and get rid of pirate scum. I love all activities, cuz when i first logged in and created my first character and saw all the possibilitys for me to roll play as i was blown away. So to short this one up yes i think a lot of KZbin content creators are straight up liars just so they can get fast likes and views on their videos without fully playing or exploring this game. I mean every day i play i learn something new i didn't know before and possibly didn't care to even look up and see if anyone else have discovered it yet. So to me this is the game of my lifetime. Cheers everyone and have a nice day.

[@Spaccheesr]
