The WORST Starfield Hot Takes

Since Starfield released there has been a treasure trove of terrible hot takes on the game. From people asking why they can't explore gas giant, to complaints about optional pronouns. Before I post my eventual Starfield review, lets take a look at some of The WORST Starfield Hot Takes.

[@chloewebb5526]

@@spacecowboy1438 I mean, their dialog has always been a meme. I think what made FO4 irritating compared to other BGS titles, and made this game intolderable at times, is the way the game has gotten more realistic looking and the voice actors are better. Like, having such realistic graphics and decent actors have lines that are coded to be played at the most inoportune moments, ruining pacing, and rarely matching facial animations that are either pretty good in some cases, or god awful in others. Theres just a level of inconsistency that makes the game feel like it's all over the place. I am almost done and decided to do UC Vanguard as the last content I have to wrap up - and am blown away that they had this awesome idea for mech war and xenoweapons - even making the god damned meh models and worlds evestated by all out war.... But it all happened before the game started............... Instead we get a god damned scavenger hunt that acts as if it wasn't obvious what the starborn are, especially after people saying "NG+ is tied to story" which completely spelled it all out the second I saw the Emissary's ship.. I'm going to stop.... I still have more to play. I fucked up by playing Phantom Liberty first lol, but at least Isaved BG3 for when I'm done with Starfield

Not to mention it would make sense to design the spacesuits with buoyancy as a feature on the off chance you did fall in water deep enough to swim in

[@RickyGong-cc3sc]

​@@timpointer6664the thing is space suits tend to have some natural bouency. Similar to a submarine. Air is less dense then water and part of a space suit design is often to fill the suit with air surrounding the person inside. Its also why some car can "bounce" upward after crashing into water. And takes time to actually sink into the water, as the air leaves the entier of the car Its also why early deep sea divers needed weights to keep them on the sea floor Heck there's even an argument that the space suits in starfield actually make it harder to swim below the surface. Since they are effectively ultra light human shape balloons.

[@RickyGong-cc3sc]

Something I wanted to add at the end but forgot is this isn't an excuse to not have under water swimming in game. Its a counter to anyone who says that it's unrealistic for a person in a space suit to float on the surface of the water. And all things considered I would had like to be able to explore underwater especially on those planets that had those opening to what seem to be underground ocean/lakes.

Hot takes aside, you'd think for an immersive fantasy game they'd make natural barriers instead of invisible walls.

[@dash_naa2944]

I feel like the idea there was to create a natural horizon for the map, rather than a physical box around the player like your own zoo enclosure

[@CraaaaaabPeople]

Unless you are specifically looking for them you will never hit an invisible wall in this game anyway

[@Jayozranger]

Lmao what, yeah bro it would be so much more immersive if you were constantly surrounded by square 100 metre high walls /s

[@ChrisTedoni]

Hard to make a natural barrier when you have a space ship and a jet pack.

[@argentumoculisgrimm9619]

I mean they could have the cities arm a “shield” that protects them from the elements. Like say you land on a hot planet, the city is fine but you step “out of bounds” you start taking hella damage and get a extreme temp alert. Same with cold, same with stormy planets, I think that would be a neater way then letting the player walk for 8 to 10 minutes only to find out there’s a invincible wall. Imagine walking up to this slightly transparent wall and thinking “TF is this?”, looking past it, then seeing like powerful winds and rain blowing shit around, intense mirages from the heat cause the planet doesn’t have a strong atmosphere, or just straight up frozen trees and rocks.

@@whitmanmalemanReal. I think it also stems from them trying to widen the market to people who aren't gamers. It used to be a niche to like video games but now it's cringe to even say "gamer" because everyone plays video games. A bad direction for the quality of the art in my opinion.

[@shmeebs387]

Your understanding of what "woke" means is incorrect. It's not a term the right or anti-SJW types came up with. It's a term progressives came up with to call themselves. More specifically, black activists came up with it to mean that they are "awake" to/aware of racial issues. And then it was adopted more broadly by progressive activists in general to mean they are "awake" to/aware of myriad other issues that progressives talk about. "Woke" basically just means progressive at this point. The way the game handles pronouns shows that the game has accepted the progressive gender paradigm. I don't think it's out of bounds to call that woke.

[@Vradrat]

Yeah. That is probably the only thing that bugged me about this video. He's looking at 'woke' back through the lens of what conservatives did to misrepresent and demonize it.

[@shmeebs387]

@@Vradrat I don't even think conservatives misrepresent it that much. I think it's a lost in translation thing because the left statistically tends not to understand the right compared to the inverse. The right knows what the progressive activists meant when they called themselves woke, but the larger general left who aren't familiar with it don't understand what the right means when they say woke.

This is what we'd call Marxism. Changing the definition of things we know to be true to fit a pushed agenda.

Why do rotten people like the woke stuff? Is it a requirement?

[@mastershake1071]

Tl;Dr they're mad because nobody attractive wants to bone with them. The woke mindset derives it's from communism. Communism is mainly carried by rich kids with zero practical skills for work. Wokism is much of the same but it also attracts people who are ugly and mentally ill but unwilling to change or take care of themselves, so instead they blame everyone else for creating a system that they think disadvantages them.

My hot take is that Bethesda releasing a game that is not broken on launch is considered a praise instead of just being the norm.

[@JohnSmith-vn8dm]

Well its not just about Bethesda. It's about the state of large role playing games in general. For example Baldur's Gate 3 was launched with a plethora of major bugs (including a few game breaking ones) in Act 2/3 and was only fixed after launch. And then there were Bethesda's previous titles and Cyberpunk as well. In this kind of context releasing a game the size of Starfield with as few bugs as it had looks reasonably impressive.

[@prominebloxer5759]

My one problem with starfield is the whole traveling in space thing. I wish you could land on planets (not in a cutscene) and fly around and explore in your ship. I also think it would be more immersive if in order to travel at all you didn't have to open the main menu

[@AlmostSaDiK]

Yeah the exploration part feels like a cutscene simulator and the main selling point the exploration Edit: just to clarify iam not saying seamless travel is bad but you dont even have an option to travel 😔

[@letmelie4757]

Definitely, it's disappointing because I was expecting Elite dangerous style of flying around, with full control. But hey, space legs on consoles at least!

[@easternrebel1061]

The game was never intended to be star citizen, plus for a game this big such seamless transitions aren't that feasible, due to technical limitations. Honestly I'm fine with that. I don't want to spend 2 hours trying to reach a planet's surface after jumping in.

[@blacklight1104]

@@BigHailFan I used to listen to his interesting takes on the video game industry about a year ago and decided to subscribe because of his quirky skits and humor which juxtaposed his serious takes. That and his friendly dynamics with other creators such as Mutahar and Asmongold added a layer of sincerity that blinded me to the red flags. Then I noticed some anomalous behaviors that other previously subscribed to him mentioned in some of his videos. These include his difficulty taking criticisms during his feud with Quantumtv. He had his reasons sure but the way he deflected and acted became irrational clued me in to what would be recurring patterns going forward. What finally made me certain was the duplicity he displayed during more recent events especially that of Payday 3. I checked this with how he acted with Quantum and lo and behold it was a recurring theme. He strikes hard and fast when he's certain when he can win and hides quick and becomes irrationally defensive when attacked. He has human flaws sure but that to me outweighs his humor and interesting takes.

The funny part of the Alanah Pearce clip is that, in her response to "she should be fired for covering Starfield while being a Sony employee" she basically stated that the "Console War" doesn't exist inside the industry. She said that game dev spots in companies are so limited that people will go for them regardless of who its for or where they come from, and that, while working for Sony, she has a lot of coworkers who came from Microsoft or Nintendo, and none of them care about the "Console War" and they find it weird that so many fans have such a tribalism "us vs them" mentality that they do

[@Ki_Adi_Mundi]

Maybe they don't perceive or realize it but it definitely exists. Less so now but that's only because they each stopped making every other game a console exclusive. Which is what fueled most of the fan tribalism in the first place.

[@vladdracula8103]

It only exists cause of the weirdo fans. That's the point. But I agree, exclusives were a mistake and now we're seeing them slowly ruin gaming.@@Ki_Adi_Mundi
