Did Starfield meet your expectations? Let me know down in the comment!

IDK maybe the 700+ hours I have been playing will give you a better answer. Starfield is an RPG in a space setting, and I feel people keep missing it. It's BGS game in space, that's it. People hate it because they expected something different from a BGS game. I've never not had fun with it.
@Trench-coatАй бұрын
@@XKathXgames I totally respect that opinion and don’t get me wrong I also enjoyed my time with it. I just can’t help but feel let down by the games technical limitations. I think you can still have a BGS game but without loading screens that ruin the immersion that’s suppose to come from being in a BGS world.

I am conscious to Starfield’s bugs, copy and paste abandoned locations, desolate planets, loading screens, periods of boredom, and even the sometimes cringey dialogue. I still love Starfield for what it is. Present mods and creations have made the game more consistently fun. They’ve dropped free DLC and ones you can buy. I have sentimental feelings towards Vasco. The game has a lot of beautiful visuals. The ending made me tear, something I rarely do; I can’t remember when I cried over a campaign’s story. Yes, the game falled short. Yes, it seems there’s more disdain towards Starfield than positive. The game has a cult following, and I’m one of the members. I can’t wait to see what Bugthedsta does with Starfield games in the future. Bugthedsta has learned a lot from the shortcomings in Starfield, and with the gaming communities’ feedback, I think they will improve on next installment.

I think the issue with gamers and a game like Starfield is we have a generation of gamers that have gotten used to what good graphics and a immersion environment gives you. Whike some may see loading screens as a gamestopper, it doesn't bother the rest of us because some of us grew up in the generation of 8 bit graphics on Nintendo. The mere thought of having a game like this in say 1985 was unthinkable. My point is rather than focus on the things that you don't like or don't work for you, focus on the things you do like about the game.
@Trench-coat3 күн бұрын
I agree with you to some extent. I think it’s valid to call out dated design but I am also currently working on a Starfield 1 year later video where I focus way more on the positives of the game. I agree that most gamers are way to negatively inclined. Thanks for the comment!

Try playing Spacebourne 2 - fraction of Starfield's budget, exact same blueprint, seamless travel, minimal loading screens, mass effect 1 type combat and basic missions, multiple factions, companions which actually boost stats, faction raids, intergalactic politics, organized space navy battalion battles, an interesting mc backstory, hilarious dialogue like Fallout New Vegas, space walk, mag boots, land your ship, fight aliens, enemy mechs and creatures.

I re-downloaded Starfield (series s) to see if mods could make Starfield fun. Unfortunately, what I discovered was that no matter how many assets or skins I install, it's STILL STARFIELD. I can dress like Anakin Skywalker, populate the universe with Star Wars aliens and build an amazing ship - but the moment I try to DO SOMETHING, the reality of awful writing/quest design/loading screens is still a huge obstacle. I have tried, so hard, to brute force fun into this game. Even with mods, this game is so shallow and not worth the space on my hard drive. I deleted it (again) and downloaded NMS instead.

Well, nice to know I am not a player because the loading screens don’t upset me, but then I have played other BGS games so I always understood that loading screens were gonna happen because that is how they separate the various cells. I swear all y’all complain about something that all Bethesda has done since at least OBLIVION. Also, I was never one for wandering around some boring ass map, I am there for my objectives. Also, love fast travel and the PoI indicators that my scanner reveals to me. I don’t have to be bored wondering if there is anything around to even bother with. Mostly, I love it because it is a Bethesda game that like all their games lets me have my power fantasy and shoot all the space pirates I can and want to. Wandering around is boring and dull and was never a thing I enjoyed in BGS games. Doing missions and quests though, that I love and I got plenty of that in STARFIELD and finally in a setting I love, space. I have finally got my Bethesda game and I love it, so hate all ya want, never gonna change my mind; STARFIELD is the best Bethesda game ever. I don’t need Elder Scrolls (in fact that is a genre I really dislike) nor Fallout’s hellish dystopia, I got my bright, shiny space game.

Just because Bethesda has always used loading screens does not mean we have to mindlessly and blindly continue to accept it. You are obviously welcome to enjoy the game - in fact if you do that's great and I am happy for you, but simultaneously - I am also allowed to not like it and call out dated design when I see it.
@craig.a.glesner22 күн бұрын
@@Trench-coat I don’t mindless accept the loading screens, I accept them because that is required for the physics engine to do its thing. It isn’t dated it is different. Y’all keep acting like there is something wrong with BGS choosing good enough and not best. Best is the enemy of good enough. I mean at least it is a published game unlike the new and spiffy STAR CITIZEN which for all its fancy tech still hasn’t published an actual game. I don’t know why everyone was seemed to expect NMS or SC and not a Bethesda game? And again, loading screens aren’t that big a deal, and are pretty damned fast even with a chunk of mods loaded so it is still a step from their previous games. More stable, better graphics, better combat, just a nice, good, fun game. But yeah, be all negative and angry of that floats your boat. Seems silly to me but you do you.

I haven’t played starfield but have watched a bunch of reviews because I was interested in the infamous problem of combining a space rpg with infinite worlds. NMS seamless travel would have been nice, but its lack wasn’t the biggest problem to me. Here is my Wishlist: Starfield NewVegas: primarily, no unkillable NPCs, but also some design choices that make FNV excellent for character based roleplay, both in the freedom but also consequences. Skyrim in space, _in space!_ Those 1000 procedural worlds can’t deliver the Skyrim exploration experience, but that experience can be mapped 1-1 to a purely inspace level. Mountain = nebula, dragon = massive warship, bandit = pirate ship.. all handcrafted and discovered through the same organic exploration. Never repeat special locations on procedural worlds. One fix would be a procedural dungeon crawler mechanic, eg using the existing base building mechanic.

Seamless travel is one of those things that should be one of the pillars you build your space exploration game around. So start there, and then choose what else there is budget for. Its not like its impossible and its been proven to be possible with current gen tech by multiple other devs. The game feels like its made with tech from 10 years ago, and it probably is. The cracks show and they made extremely poor design choices. PS. comparison to GTA6 to prove a point makes no sense. Different genre, different developer, different circumstances.
