See, I was on mars on my first save file. Ran off into the void, found a fracking station or something. Oh cool, some pirates. I kill em. I see their ship. I trot my happy ass over to it. Climb aboard, enter the cockpit. The pilot was there alone, sitting in his chair. Mustn't have noticed I entered. Pulled out my sniper rifle, ADS to the back of his head. Contemplated my decisions. Put my rifle away and stood there for a minute thinking about what I almost did. A minute later, the pilot, from within his seat, facing away from me says "WHO'S THERE" and starts up the ship. We get flying, I'm still just standing there behind him, looking out the front window. When a bunch of UC or Constellation ships just shoot us the fuck down. Fires, explosions, pilot screaming, me, still, just standing there watching it unfold. Then I died. The ship exploded. This is genuinely a fucking good game.

As someone who was just expecting Fallout in Space I got into it immediately. Because that's basically what I wanted. To me what I saw of the game during some of the marketing was just a more grounded version of Obsidian's Outer Worlds. Both have the mega corps and space cowboys just Starfield just has more grounded sci-fi over the goofy space dramedy that was Outer World. So going into it with the expectations of Outer Worlds with a bigger budget and more realism made the game meet my expectations. Also the first ship does just feel like a fast travel mechanic but once you start building custom ships and getting attached to the work you've done the ships go from being small fast travel ships to giant Starships that act as your main home. The houses in game are your secondary homes. Your ship is your real home.

A few moments later, I saw a movie poster touting "the true story of the battle of Niira" and again I thought, okay, Niira is a place in this universe, and I could go there right now. Similar things happen in Fallout and TES, but in Starfield when you hear the equivalent of a Whiterun guard talking about Hammerfell, you know that there's no map boundary stopping you from seeing it yourself. Losing the seamlessness of something like No Man's Sky in order to get that kind of magic is more than a fair trade, IMO.

This is a really good point! I’ve binged the hell out of NMS and Star Citizen but I’ve been hesitant to buy Starfield because I was worried that the exploration wouldn’t be as fulfilling. But, that being said, I do think that the stories and RPG playability in the other games are quite abysmal. There are still stories and places you can visit, but the depth isn’t there. It looks deep but is very shallow. I recently started Skyrim for the first time and I’m loving the RPG aspect of the game. It’s the first game in a long time where I actually watch cut scenes and pay attention to dialogue because I feel like all of it has an impact on the world in the game. Assuming Starfield feels the same, it’s a no brainer to buy it! I will miss the open feeling of Skyrim-not having to fast travel everywhere (I play survival so I have never fast traveled). But thank you sm for posting this comment because I think u just helped me make my decision to buy this game! TLDR: I’m gonna buy Starfield now thank you sir

Now not everyone who dislikes the game is doing it for clicks, but there's no doubt that negativity for games that aren't universally regarded as perfect sells, doubly so if it's a Bethesda game. That's why a lot of the hate comments you seem from ppl on the internet is disingenuous and vague, like "nothing but empty planets," "terrible writing/side quests," or "loading screen simulator." There are still people who like the game, tho. Reputable KZbinrs/reviewers like ACG, Mortismal Gaming, LegacyKillaHD, Fextralife, Jayvee, David Jaffe (creator of God of War), Gene Park, Kinda Funny Games, etc. No matter what the Internet may pretend, the game is objectively not a disaster.

I really also feel that the writing is the closest that Bethesda has ever gotten to what I crave. The role playing is peak for Bethesda and this is the most fun I’ve ever had playing a Bethesda game when disengaged from any side missions or story.

[@11cat123]

The main story, while some may call it weak, is probably the best I've seen in a Bethesda game as far as how it serves the rest of the game. Bethesda games aren't really about the main plot. Skyrim and Fallout 4 had massive issues where the main story had a built in time pressure when you are just trying to explore. The mystery of the artifacts in starfield is just interesting enough so you will progress the main quest once in a while but it doesn't feel like it's the top priority.

[@justkeytwitchy]

I've hardly touched the main story yet since I've been doing a bunch of faction and other side quests. But I agree with the writing. So far it's been my favorite part and I'm usually not a big story guy. I'm not sure yet how much choices influence the game world, but so far in the side missions I've had some interesting encounters that were affected drastically by my choices.

The even have some airpreassure doors in some areas, that hide the loading of new places, so it would definitlx be possible, just like minimaps, or spacetravel in a more emersive way. Its not terrible that they left out these things,but just simply sad. Especially because these things are normal in modern games, and most of gamers are usef to these things and cant overlook them. Its the same with police systems in open worlds since gta5. Every game needs it or people will complane, because they are used to that luxury feature.

[@2slowpoke929]

@@xerlmxI think one of the biggest differences in previous Bethesda games that separated them apart was the fact that you could also just technically leave behind dozens, if not hundreds of physical objects in a spot and they technically wouldn’t despawn. You can try it in other open worlds e.g shooting a hundred web shooters at a roof of a hundred floor building in Spiderman and the game would eventually despawn it. Night City would also have the same goons eventually spawn in the exact same spot if you give it enough time to revisit the area. Bethesda games would also have to account for individual NPCs in previous games like Fallout 3-4 where you could see them having some level of autonomy e.g actually going to bed during night etc. Played 60 hours of Starfield so far and Idk how much that the autonomous part actually happens in SF though.

I have played Elite Dangerous, and if Starfield had a similar space travel system, with no fast travel, most casual players would get bored immediately and stop playing. In a game like Starfield, where you have to go to from specific planet to specific planet a lot, it would take forever. So most people complaining that you can fast travel in space, would stop playing if you could not. What I would like, though, is to disable fast travel (maybe only on higher difficulty) if you need to go from on-foot to using your ship. So basically you can fast travel between places on a planet, since you don't use your ship, but you can't fast travel to another planet. Then, when you are on a ship, you can only fast travel AS your ship. You will always end up sitting in your ship when you fast travelled while in your ship. I think this would be a good middle ground for people that enjoy immersion.

Thanks so much Habie, im in the hospital for surgery today and your style of videos and humour always brings a good laugh so thank you for distracting me a bit Always a good day when habie uploads 😎❤️

I've currently put in about 45 hours and only done 2 story line quests. It's safe to say I enjoy the gameplay a lot. I really don't get what some people expected with the open word vs story telling aspect. I went in without setting any real expectations, and minus a few (non game breaking) bugs, I enjoy it a lot. I can already feel that this game is going to take over my life for the upcoming years

[@kielanwade5096]

I'm really loving it too, I've spent hours just fucking about and exploring the galaxy. I have my complaints but they're vastly outweighed by the fun I'm having.

[@bryandedon7459]

They expected to be able to explode a planet, and you know, actually find something worth a damn instead of some copper and iron for the 1 millionth time. I'm having fun too but you can't deny that you can't explore in this game like a normal bgs game or any open world rpg for that matter. 99% of the planets aren't worth going to unless you want resources or want to build a base on it. The only thing on them is a few random points of interest that repeat over and over. It's not really worth going anywhere unless there's a quest sending you there.

Thank you! This is exactly what I paid for, a Bethesda RPG with all the character.

[@wingdingdmetrius8025]

enjoy it. but I've played four of those games now, for two decades, and I'm over it. all the empty words about pushing the boundaries of gaming all for just a reskin of the same formula. I don't think I'll ever buy a Bethesda game again but I don't expect them to go away, they'll always have a market for this stuff.

[@cherryrook8684]

@@wingdingdmetrius8025 Yea same, to me this looks just like a Fallout 4/76 reskin. Once you played one Bethesda game you played em all, kinda like Far Cry nowadays (Or anything Ubisoft for that matter). If ppl enjoy it tho more power to them im not gonna stop em

[@DWEGOON]

You can use your scanner in your ship to go to locations in the same system without opening the menu, and even land at locations too. They don't teach a lot of this stuff so it goes unnoticed

[@hengineer]

Yea scanner becomes almost a necessity., even when looting.

[@richardbalding1101]

I absolutely love the game. It is a bit overwhelming at the start, but it is so cool when you finally figure something out or get a totally unique part of the game almost nobody has seen.

[@MrDwightSchrute]

There isn't a totally unique part of the game that nobody has seen

[@Wulfbaine1]

@@MrDwightSchrute yeah, its comments like that that make me believe people just gaslight themselves into believing the game is more than it is, because they want it to be.

[@AtomicPuma9]

@@MrDwightSchruteso what you’re telling me is you’ve played through every questline, experienced every random encounter, and beaten the game? Damn, I’m impressed. 😒 The point is, not everyone is looking up every random encounter chance on YT. To him every encounter is unique, to everyone it’s unique. Yes, theoretically there is only so much a game can have in it but might I remind you that in Fallout 4 people were finding secret encounters and Easter eggs YEARS after the game came out. So yes, he’s right in saying there a unique possibilities that can happen in the game and uncovering them brings back the feeling of other BGS games.

[@MrDwightSchrute]

@@AtomicPuma9 yeah but there isn't a totally unique part of the game that nobody has seen

[@richardbalding1101]

@MrDwightSchrute It is unique enough that many different streamers I watched and talk to haven't seen parts I have and they have played longer. So that is pretty unique to me. If you want to say oh the code isn't changing for each person no shit sherlock.

You could make a video on any game I wasn't interested in before and I instantly wanna play that game.

If you think about it, the nature of exploration in Starfield, is actually quite a lot like Exploration in Dagger Fall.

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

That was my exact thought. Buncha nothing you can fast travel around, but you can also use a horse and a boat.

[@jasonmoyer]

I don't understand what people were basing their expectations on. I went in blind, thinking it would be Fallout 4 in space and without molesting everything good about Fallout. What I got surpassed that. The first time I boarded a ship I was like "wait how did they do that." Starfield is to Bethsoft what Mass Effect was to Bioware and Outer Worlds was to Obsidian. I didn't expect those games to be Elite, they're RPGs in early post-frontier space in the style of those studios other games. And that's what Starfield is. It's like BSGs greatest hits. It's awesome.

[@jonathana8996]

I had hope for Starfield despite all the criticism, and I’m having a blast with the game.

[@sultanofsick]

You are creative, Habie. (Not for the Riverwood thing, I wouldn't have told people about that). You made a video that I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed about a game I really don't care about, while simultaneously avoiding any spoilers at all because honestly I'm pretty sure I'll play it at some point.

[@Ayeshire]

i assume it’s when a steam sale occurs?

Dude, you said it perfectly!! I have also never enjoyed a game so much that everyone else hated. I fucking love this game and it blows my mind that others don't like it. I don't get it. It's just so good!

[@YouTubeCensors]

Not everyone hates it. It just seems like that because there's way too many bitter people out there.

[@I_Just_Like_Neat_Stuff]

@@KZbinCensors It's nice to see positivity about this game. Makes it feel lonely when all you got in your feed is criticism

[@syro2412]

it was going to happen since people already don't like bethesda. Most of the criticism for the game so far has been about how it's not a next gen game that pushes the hardware to its full use. The core rpg mechanics and little details are barely discussed

[@Senriam]

Bethesda did not give us New Vegas. It was obsidian, the new studio comprised of Black Isle studios veterans which gave us that game.
