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.

[@SuicidalLion]

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

[@MajorSlackAttack]

I am. Thanks! :)

[@GaryMalcolm]

Slack using my comment has made my week.

[@CDangles]

Supah staaaar 😎

[@mikekelly3753]

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

[@CDangles]

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

[@Bro-siah]

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

[@keithandreano]

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

[@gigglingmaniacly7883]

PPPPFFFT Your Grandma plays Starfield

[@neocorricon]

Hello everyone, this is my first Starfield Players Anonymous meeting. My name is Neo, and....um.....I like playing Starfield.

[@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! 🤣

[@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.

[@Tanvaras]

Great first episode, looking forward to more!

[@user-jk2gi1cv5p]

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

[@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.

[@JUDGERAMBO]

This is where the fun begins.

[@100canadian4]

This game is getting better.

[@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.

[@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.

[@williamkmanire]

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

[@b130610]

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

[@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

[@DaTravBoo]

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

[@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

[@onlytwogenders420]

I thought I was already subscribed to you, cheers bro, been watching your channel off and on since your Witcher 3 guide.

[@firemark5]

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

[@DingaLingu]

Love the intro on this one

[@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!

[@dariuswebster9085]

Good stuff Slack!

[@iancahill75]

Great stuff Slack

[@txma.]

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

[@seanstump8665]

I do miss the sultry sounds of slack.

[@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?

[@hagg2311]

Great vid slack

[@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.

[@TheAngrySaxon1]

Unpopular opinion, but I fucking love this game!

[@Untrustedlife]

I too love it

[@DM7Grumble]

You are correct👈

[@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. 👍

[@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.

[@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)

[@enzo_plays]

And so it begins!

[@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 😁

[@user-zj9qg7et4m]

Whooooo , hell yeah ,here we go again 😀

[@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.

[@mikesheahan6906]

Thank you for digressing.

[@user-jk5jx1rm8t]

It's a good game for sure

[@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)

[@jefffogg8730]

Thanks

[@YUNGSLEEVES]

my favorite game ever made

[@harvbegal6868]

Getting bored running all over Far Harbor. Might be time to head back out into the starfield.

[@Vanguard.Warship.Voyager]

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

[@bryancattipsgee5080]

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

[@TheDoomis]

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

[@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. 🎉🎉🎉

[@thegamegallery8091]

Starfield haters are f*cking hilarious. 🤣

[@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.

[@agentxsnow]

All wright now were talking 👍👍👍👍👍

[@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.

[@Bubble955]

👍

[@JamieOnyx]

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

[@nuummaann]

🔥

[@Brutalgruve]

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

[@screamday]

Slack, have you noticed any better enemy weapon drops at the higher difficulty levels?

[@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.

[@vwlouk2]

Slack! Not my mom!?!

[@travelingwestmusic5259]

Affliction treatment set to higher levels means your cures only make the condition better not cured. You can go to a doctor at one of the medical centres though to be cured still which makes them useful.

[@MajorSlackAttack]

_Affliction treatment set to higher levels means your cures only make the condition better not cured._ Yeah, I'm pretty sure I went into detail about that in the commentary. _You can go to a doctor at one of the medical centres though to be cured..._ I forgot to consider this.

[@alancarrascolapeira9545]

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

[@nrnoble]

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

[@viralarchitect]

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

[@MajorSlackAttack]

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

[@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

[@kurok68]

$@#% yes!

[@DavidBauer38]

I didn’t know you spoke French!!!

[@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

[@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... 😎

[@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)

[@antares4975]

Barbarella

[@DirtyDogLogistics]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@DonEmuKnightQuixote]

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

[@FreakyFred1234]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@warrickdawes7900]

Your avatar looks very little like 1960s Jane Fonda.

[@bryancattipsgee5080]

Well they have meh hair in here anyhow. Nothing loose and crazy except for shinya hair nothing long. Past collar feels like. Idk But you remember her that is want counts.

[@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.

[@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..😂

[@samgurl775]

"some of you are just going to have to get used to the cold, hard reality. a lot of gamers like playing starfield." they hated jesus because he spoke the truth
