Sue me, I enjoyed Starfield - Underrated Game Review

[@ir8dudefpv]

I love Starfield, but I also don’t listen to KZbinrs. I love Starfield. Cracks me up seeing all the content on KZbin from people saying “500 hours played and this game is terrible”. Nobody plays a game for 5 hours if it’s terrible let alone 100+.

[@olsonbrandon91]

Right, because that's what every single video says.. are you stupid or something? Lol You act like there's no valid criticism. Also don't worry about it. This game so dead. No one even really talks about it anymore.

[@TheJohhnyE]

It reminds me of the same people who play a game like Destiny 2 for 10 hours a day, every day, and then complain about no content after 2 weeks of a dlc release. Of course there's "no content" left to do; they spent 70 hours a week, or more, doing everything. 😂

[@TheRealDymd]

The developers themselves have stated the game doesn't open up until you beat the main quest. Yes, there are plenty of videos capitalizing on the decline of public perception of bethesda, but the existence of bad faith actors does not diminish the critique of the game. Perhaps it is fun to you, but that does not mean your standards reflect the wider populace. Saying "don't think too hard it's a Bethesda story" is not comforting to those who expect a little more from a developer with so many accolades.

You are not alone. I love this game too. I believe that popular streamers given toxic takes about it on launch, combined with the "Xbox exclusivity" caused all the hate.

[@whiteboy4045]

I didn't like Starfield, but not because of some of the stupid reasons other people hate it for. It's spaceship combat is the best I have ever seen, and it's gunsmithing/mods is fucking awesome. The reasons I don't like it is because there is no gore or dismemberment, that was disappointing, makes combat less fun. In fallout 4 shooting people and watching limbs fly off was satisfying and sometimes funny. In Starfield there's none of that, combat feels unrewarding or underwhelming. The game graphics are pretty good, most of the NPCs look retarded but that's way more funny than anything. They look ridiculous, they make my weird disfigured character look normal and it's hilarious. Another thing I really, really don't like is the feeling of emptiness, just nothing. Most of the planets are just empty with the same generic points of interest. I thought exploring empty planets looking for artifacts would be much more interesting with the way they showed it in the trailers, but there just fetch quests with nothing in between, collect artifact, put in circle, repeat. This one mission gets you weird cosmic powers that are entirely useless, and you end up meeting aliens who try to get you to stop finding them. Sounds intriguing, maybe interesting? Nah, there not aliens. There some of the retarded characters from the group of explorer's from the future, Wich means you found the artifacts and uncovered there secrets right? Yes you did, and your reward for all this is meeting yourself in game in the fucking cosmos and you tell yourself in game to start over and play again and make different choices. Completely pointless because no matter what choices you make you get the same ending, only thing that changes is different people from the explorer group die. You still meet yourself and tell yourself to start over. Fucking stupid.

You can enjoy something while still being critical of it's flaws. And you can enjoy or love or even be obsessed with Starfield while still acknowledging that it could (and should) have been so much better. But it's not wrong to love something just because other people don't - that also doesn't mean that all the negative leaning content around Starfield is just because that's. "cool* - it is a DEEPLY flawed game. I'm glad there are people who love it, because I'm sure at least on the ground level, some passionate devs worked on it. That doesn't mean the flaws aren't real.

[@jimmythegamer2231]

Except DEEPLY FLAWED is highly subjective half the time, especially for a game like Starfield. Just because a game has a very positive reception among the gaming community doesn't mean it can't be considered deeply flawed by someone else. Take Yakuza: Like a Dragon, for instance. That game has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, but I'd personally consider it deeply flawed for a variety of reasons, even though I still think the game is solid. Something you consider a deep flaw of Starfield might not be a flaw at all in someone else's eyes, like bad side quests (subjective), terrible writing (again, highly subjective), or loading screens (inconsequential IMO). So, yes, no one can say Starfield is literally perfect because no game is. But someone can also say they love Starfield and think it is not deeply flawed in their opinion. Just like someone else can say a universally beloved game like Red Dead Redemption 2 is deeply flawed in their opinion even though everyone else loves it. Opinions that are contrary to popular consensus exist and are valid. I'm tired of people acting as if the popular consensus is fact.

(Also game of the year awards are about as valid as the oscars are in determining if a game is good)

[@cortanasof247]

@@jimmythegamer2231 The loading screen argument is low hanging fruit, but it leads to one of the games biggest flaws that’s 100% self inflicted. The loading screen itself isn’t the problem, i thought it was even cool that it uses photos you take as place holders. But here’s the basic loop of doing anything in this game the moment you load in. Open map, pick quest, fast travel to ship - LOADING SCREEN - enter ship - LOADING SCREEN - take off from planet/location - LOADING SCREEN - enter space, pick destination, fast travel to destination - LOADING SCREEN - arrive in orbit of planet, open planet, land on planet - LOADING SCREEN - exit ship - LOADING SCREEN (that’s one right after the other after landing on a planet LOL) - walk around, find and enter primary NPCs building - LOADING SCREEN (but not always to be fair), talk to NPC, get new location, start cycle from the beginning. This formula itself is immersion breaking, tedious and time consuming. That’s at least 14 different loading screens and time spent walking and traveling before any actual gameplay. Say i only have an hour or two to play, i don’t want to spend 30-50% of that time walking, traveling and stuck in loading screens. And this is just one quest, imagine how much this cycle is repeated over the course of a 2-3 hour play session. No you’re probably thinking “oh well you can just fast travel straight to planets you don’t have to do all that,” and you’re right, I don’t, and I didn’t, but guess what that meant? I was actively avoiding my ship. IN A SPACE FARING GAME, YOU’RE INCENTIVIZED TO AVOID THE THING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TRAVEL SPACE. It’s a busted formula and it’s one of the easiest quality of life things to fix, but it would probably break the outdated Creation Engine. This would be fine for a game like New Vegas or even Skyrim, but it’s absolutely unacceptable from a AAA game studio in 2023, and it forces players to actively avoid one of the core features of the game. Which sucks, because the ship builder itself is fucking awesome. I spent so many hours and put so many resources into building and crafting my own ship, only to find out not only was that where I was spending the least amount of time in game, I was actively avoiding it just to get to wherever tf I have to go faster. Again, In a game that’s main selling point is SPACE TRAVEL, that’s completely unacceptable and is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what’s fundamentally wrong with this game.

[@baronvonslambert]

An understated reason for the excess of Starfield hate was just the fact that it was a space game. As a long time space game enjoyer, a huge chunk of my fellow space game enjoyers will buy each and every space game they can get their paws on with this idealized fantasy of THEIR perfect space game in their head, and when the space game they bought doesn't meet those ridiculous expectations, they throw tantrums that can last years or even decades, like a self sustained fusion reaction of fauxtrage. For example, I play Elite Dangerous, well, Frontier over the last year has somewhat recommitted to the game after spending way too long on the failure that was Odyssey, and they've just released a new update that overhauls a bunch of stuff in the main game to enhance and make them more approachable to get players engaged with lesser played mechanics. Despite being a huge positive change that has brought tons of new players in and older players back to at least try the game out again, the comment sections and forums discussing it are FILLED TO THE BRIM with people who haven't played in years. Some of these guys are still upset that because like all games started on Kickstarter, it had to be scaled back in scope or become a Star Citizen, and every single one of them are complaining that the new changes weren't enough to bring them or the game back and demanding changes and features the devs have LONG since said just aren't possible without starting over from scratch on a new engine, despite not having touched the game since launch in some cases. These are the same kind of people who will buy a Bethesda game, and then spend the next ten years complaining that it was a Bethesda game. Starfield had to deal with so much fauxtrage from multiple fronts. Was it perfect? No, but far too many people walked in with idyllic expectations the game could never hope to meet and had their expectations dashed, or they walked in expecting another "Bethesda Trash Fire" and spent their time looking for everything they hated about Bethesda games and found it because it's a Bethesda game and was always going to be a Bethesda game with the same Bethesda game problems that some find charming and make others rip their hair out.

[@leelustig]

Yeah, stuff like that was happening to me left and right in the early days of playing. But for me, most of those issues really did clear up.

[@paul22180]

It's still present even with the May update, as far as I can tell. It occurs when you have the mission "Kill the crew and take the Ship, or Leave," and end up doing neither - such as the ship taking off when you board or sitting in the seat, and then leaving or something. Basically, that quest never completes, therefore all further enemy ships are empty. The only fix I found is to start a NG+. The way I avoid it is to save before entering a ship - if it takes off, I reload and don't enter the ship. It taking off instantly breaks that quest. And looting or stealing one ship isn't worth breaking the playthrough over. So now I am very, very careful with that quest and most of the time just leave.

[@failedtalent1018]

​@Setixir Isn't that the trend with modern Bethesda? Starfield has like 1 or 2 quests that influence the explorable environment, instead of just affecting 2 characters. Skyrim did the same thing, I never saw anything really affect the entire world aside from the civil war questline, but it is still nothing in terms of choices affecting the world. And Fallout 4 too, its only really one specific quest that can cause a "massive" change. Starfield having next to nothing in terms of choices that actually affect the world is more or less modern Bethesda at this point. That's not trying to seek an excuse, but more like I'm trying to justify also criticizing and complaining about Skyrim and Fallout 4 for not having the same depth of world changing events that Oblivion, Fallout 3, or Morrowind had.

My biggest problems with Starfield were how they handled space travel, ng+ content (the game fails to recognize what you actually did, like in the ending), the temple repeated minigame (Skyrim did it better), the way they tuned procedural generation where sometimes it doesn't make sense (Venus etc). Otherwise, a solid experience, it's just different compared to other BGS games. They even told people so before release. Exited for mod support and expansions.

[@tuwebanime]

The NG+ is a big flop. So, you're going to an alternate universe in which your decisions should made an impact in the world but... barely anything happens. Because they didn't have time... It's like... ok.

[@peteywheatstraw8760]

I think BGS was concentrating on the RPG aspect of the game more so than making a spaceship simulation. They probably thought that gamers wouldn't want to fly, themselves, from one destination to another in a mission. That would take a lot of time. I've been playing Eve Online since 2006. You basically fly everywhere in that game (except flying into planets and moons). Trust me, that gets old sometimes. Also, the spaceship combat is fun considering it's not a spaceship simulation.

[@jclosed2516]

Finally someone that can have constructive criticism without taking a dump on the game. That's the way you push the game (and developers) forward! Just like you I really enjoy the game, but at the same time I am not blind for the shortcomings. There is a lot to be improved. Lucky enough for the interface there are already some good mods that make it a lot less wonky to use. It's certainly not perfect, but it takes away a lot of the pain. I completely agree the game need patience to play. Sadly - A lot of gamers these days are the sort that does speed runs, have a short attention span, or just passing important things without even noticing. Those kind of people that want instant gratification, because they cannot be bothered by figuring things out, and they "want their time to be respected". It are those people that are fiercely attacking Starfield. I agree it's "cool" and "fancy" to bash on Starfield these days. and I personally think it's gotten completely out of hand, and undeserved. As said above, I like that you have fun with the game, but still can point out the flaws without jumping on the "hate train". Very much appreciated!

this is exactly why a lot of people aren't happy with Bethesda and their games in the past roughly 10 years. Bethesda RPGs USED to be actual RPGs where you had to plan out your character, not a "non-thinking" type of deal... Yet they of course continued to water down almost all RPG elements - Morrowind to Skyrim is a pretty huge step back in complexity and more a catering towards usually non-rpg type players.

They need to go outside the box to attract more gamers to RPGs even if it means making it easier. Open World games that are a Sandbox are extremely fun for so many people.

After that, meeting back up with Hadrian and doing a few last missions with her would’ve been the icing on the cake.

I personally don't mind people enjoying the game, but I can definitely understand why some people were very underwhelmed, even angry. The problem is Bethesda's reluctance to optimize their games, how they set unrealistic expectations, the unethical sale of a 20 year old game engine at a premium price and shamelessly expecting modders to fix whatever is wrong with the game at launch. People were disappointed because this game appeared to be (and was marketed as) Bethesda's opus, and to me the lesser of any of their singleplayer games. Aesthetically though, this is probably my favorite Bethesda game.

Stop repeating the drivel you've heard elsewhere - it just makes you look foolish. The Unreal Engine is 26 years old, the Call of Duty engine is 31 years old, the same age as the Rage (Rockstar Engine). All engines are old because there is no need to reinvent the wheel for every game. Are they all unethical too, for charging for such old engines? Engines work differently in that they prioritise certain things above others. Some engines are perfect for some games but would basically need every component ripping out and replacing to work well for other games. Bethesda build games that work a certain way, it would be insane of them to switch engines. And modders don't fix anything, they add to or enhance a game. If 99.99% of the code and work is that of the developers, then it is modders that should be thanking the developers for being able to build on all their work, not the other way around.

Finally a review of just pure honesty

[@spacechimpxx]

I disagree. The lack of reactions from npcs, the disconnected feeling of everything. It allows you to do a lot but it all feels disjointed and meaningless. The dialogue is so bloated, which would be fine if the camera wasn't locked often times facing the back of the character. Let alone the loading screens, empty worlds, lore that doesn't really make sense, and lack of innovation. It's just more, and the flavor from older Bethesda games seems to have been boiled out of this one. There are a lot of questionable design choices, like the swimming. In a game with infinite worlds, and you can't even dive underneath the water as you could in previous games? So no water creatures? Doesn't any of this strike you as underwhelming for a game to have been in design for this long?

[@wongjunkit6205]

They literally made the dialogue bigger and more detailed due to complaints from Fallout 4 lackluster dialogue system. This shows how many people are braindead. "Fallout 4 dialogue system bad" Ok then, we will bring back old BGS dialogues from previous games that people prefer. Heck, the locked camera IS because of critique of newer BGS games, that's why they bring it back from Oblivion. Man, I can't. Reading all these "critiques" are critically lowering my IQ score. I need to get out of here

[@spacechimpxx]

@@wongjunkit6205Fallout 3 actually had good dialogue. The first time you see a ghoul : "Ghaah! F***! What are you?" Nothing even close to that in this watered down disney remake esque bullsh**. And you aren't going to mention the swimming? Bye 👋🏾

[@Martin-vn7gs]

I see your point and I am sure it is all very subjective, but my experience with the game was way different. For me the game doesn't have a soul. It plays it too safe most of the time and in terms of gameplay it was the most boring game I ever played. For me it felt like it was designed to be boring. In your video you didn't really mention the loading screens and navigation in general, but for me it was a big issue. Going from planet to planet is just clicking, waiting and looking at the same landing animation over and over again. I enjoyed literally a few very small side quests that didn't involve traveling between planets and that's it. All the big side quests and the main quest was so boring I needed to force myself to not fall asleep... The dialogues lack any kind of "edge" to them. It sounds like ChatGPT generated it. The same with companions. I didn't like any of them. All of them are soft and bland. The New Game + idea was interesting, but I didn't like it because it pretty much means that nothing you do matters. But it wasn't all bad. The tone and the style of the game is really cool. In short, the game does look good most of the time and I like this down to earth approach. Ship bulding is amazing and I love it, but the problem is that the ship is just an extension of a loading screen, so it is almost useless. I think it could be a really good game if they ditched the idea of 1000 planets and just focus on a small areas on a few hand crafted planets. They also should make the dialogue and locations more "edgy" at times. The game is devoid of any humor, a few funny dialogues here and there wouldn't hurt. Last thing... Facial animations and this weird zoom is something that needs to go. I wonder if Todd Howard requires every BGS employee to keep eye contact with him 100% of the time.

That final statement at the end about how it has the potential to become better and potentially even seen as great is so true, especially after the update the other day and content reveal/leak of what they're bringing to the table.

I'm level 15 or so, and can only stream it since my PC can't run it native and I'm on PlayStation instead, but that space game urge is creeping up on me, and my 300-400 hours in No Man's Sky is telling me that Shaun Murray's universe, as much as i love it, ain't gonna cut it this time.

[@laughingalex7563]

People try to okay the game like other bethesda games, ironicly, ignoring the quests and just going random locations or grinding radiants without doing quests. Thats not how to play starfield at all. Its perfectly fine to do the quests if anything, doing the quests and missions leads to more entertainment overall. Many players ignore the faction quests and get mad over the empty spaces between locations on the main quest grind, but thats where starfield is at its weakest. Uc vanguard terramorph storyline, freestar rangers, even the crimson fleet(or uc sysdef infiltration story) far exceed the main quest in quality. Some people repeat those in new game plus specifically so they can do something like minecrafting a certain ceo npc, only going ng+ to do the same arch again on the same character. Even ryujin industries can have a few moments(though i think thats the weakest faction questline). Just dont get wrapped up in the temple grind.

Like I hated cyberpunk and consider way way worse than Starfield but it’s melee combat and combat in general was fun. It’s a problem because it doesn’t lead to healthy game discussions because everyone has to jump on a team. “Oh but you just dislike that everyone hates the game and they have legit criticisms” maybe but couldn’t you say the same about any other game that’s gets universal appeal? Hell couldn’t you say the same thing to the people that loved BOTW that got mad about criticisms? Like the gaming community has this massive problem of applying logic that’s never consistent and it’s annoying af. “This game has gotten 10/10 therefore it’s a masterpiece and all criticism is wrong” “this other game got a 10/10 and all the reviews are just paid by the company” Like do you not see the irony?

[@VoyagerGaming417]

Yeah, this sort of all-or-nothing thinking is why a lot of things have gotten toxic lately.

[@Dennis-nc3vw]

I would describe it as a very fun but brutally flawed game. It's like burnt gourmet food.

[@sagearmaggedon7307]

Thing is that people will find a way to get what they want. People want to dislike and despise Starfield. I have seen countless examples of confirmation bias by naysayers, using certain things to try and prove that the game is bad. People keep saying that this game does nothing good. I don’t know, voice acting maybe? Character models that are significantly improved over their previous games? Cool attention to detail? People dont want to like this game, and we can tell because they are still talking about it even more than the champion of 2023.

[@sagearmaggedon7307]

You have in a few paragraphs, pretty much summed up my entire campaign for the last few months, trying to make people aware of the hypocrisy. A few examples: “Everything in Starfield is done better somewhere else.” This makes no sense to me because this logic applies to virtually every other game. What ever happened to appreciating a thing for its uniqueness. Other games may do things “better”, but none of them do it like Starfield does. “ They messed up the exploration.” This is not TES or Fallout, its a different game. The sooner people realize it the better. “The game does nothing new, there is no innovation here” Me: 🙄. People who say this need to be put in a straight jacket. No offense to anyone, but : Retard Alert class!! The hysteria behind this game boggles my mind, and so many of peoples arguments are selective hatred, that can be applied to almost any game. Thanks for summing everything up.

Critic reviews only matter to the gaming community when it fits their narrative. If a game that the gaming community thinks is good gets a 10/10, then it's a masterpiece, but if a game that's popular to hate on gets a 10/10, then the person who reviewed it is a shill and was bought and paid for. Generally speaking though, the notion that video game reviews are bought and paid for by publishers is bordering on schizophrenia because that almost never happens in real life. It's just a way for the gaming community to cope with the fact that someone loves a game they hate.

Probably the best actual Starfield Review on YT. While this game absolutely have issues I am also enjoying my time 100 hrs in.

[@bry10101]

As some one who is not a "gamer" i bought this game because it sounded cool. Iv only got about 40 hours into it and ive enjoyed it (again im not a gamer and i dont play games often). I got onto youtube and everyone acts like they hate it. Guess my tastes dont match up with everyone else.

[@robertburton3687]

Picked it up this week, after all the negative youtube coverage, i was expexting a mess. I'm absolutely loving it, the detail in some of the environments is outstanding. Really living oit my teenage scifi fantasy's. No game is perfect (except deus ex) but the sheer amount of content in this game blows my mind, so many times im on a quest and get so terribly side tracked that i end up hours deep in totally un related content before circling back to what i was doing... i just love that about bethesda games. I do hope people come around like they have with Cyberpunk, as long as bethsda continues to add content and improve whats here. They will. Good review. Subbed.

[@dijaysynclaire]

Starfield is not a bad game but if you had to exclusively compare it to its peers it IS a bad game, because it has too many problems and cant justify its price or how boring it can be. Which means supporting it will do more harm than good to the community.

[@reinhardt3090]

They knew everyone was just going to play it on gamepass.

[@natrinsbarrow]

The plastic flaps...🤣🤣 Holy crap, that had me dying. Bravo sir. Sub well earned.😂😂😂

[@liquid1514]

i finally realized who this game is for, people who don't have time to play more than 2 game's a year.

[@billsmith8381]

I've always been a PS guy but am finally picking up a Series X tonight. I will definitely be giving Starfield my full attention. Thanks for the honest vid. There are so many people hating on this that haven't even tried it.

[@OwnerGriffin108]

Your 100% right about it being cool to hate Starfield, even before it came out.

[@dyablo713281]

Thank you, my sentiments exactly...into the starfield.

[@michael_m38]

everyone will complain about anything. I just started this game and i LOVE it. i also agree that graphics and fps arent everything
