Starfield - Epic Shit Takes from Bethestards

[mediocrepoet]

Hey look, if there is any one thing that was dreadfully apparent about Starfield and its development, it was the diversity of the dev team.

Someone tell him to look up current birth rates among various demographics globally, because 2330 ain't gonna be diverse in the slightest. Just wall-to-wall muddy brown, probably with slightly slanted eyes too.

 

[Silverfish]

That's what diversity means, though.

Diversity = No whites

 

[Lambach]

In fairness to the guy, he did include "white" in his rainbow coalition description, so he does seem to be using that word in its original meaning.

Let's hope the list of those shitcanned for this flop is equally diverse.

It'll be diverse in the sense of being completely white.*

I don't have twitter/X. Was there any particular reason for him posting that? How were the replies?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

He spoke at a game design presentation recently and Starfield will be getting an update soon, so he's probably just in a mood to talk.





Most the replies are the usual upvote harvest garbage but this one got an interesting reply out of him.

Starfield is how the world will look if globohomo wins.

 

[Cryomancer]

Star trek is how original socialists idealize the future.
Starfield is how Baizuo's idealize the future.

IMO both are wrong, the future is a mix of 1984 with idiocracy. Unless both forms of equality cultism(greatest plague ever launched upon mankind) collapses. I really tried to find anything good in SF and seriously, this is the worst game ever. Firearms sucks, space shouts sucks, combat sucks, exploration sucks, everything sucks in this game. There is zero redeeming quality.

 

[Butter]

No developer touts the diversity of his goon squad if he has a quality game to shill.

 

[Moink]

Emil, on top of his poor writing skills, is now uniquely evil if he believes this setting brings a feeling of "hope" for the future of humanity.

Most of the replies were in support of him when I looked at the tweet. I imagine he tweeted this partially because of the Sweet Baby drama, there were some rumors that SBI worked on Starfield so I think he wanted to clarify that Starfield being a shit game is all on Bethesda.

 

[ind33d]

i honestly think SBI is the only company and they make every single game

The future = hope.

 

[Modron]

Has someone created a James Hong preset/player mod in Starfield yet?

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

People who think this isn't realistic haven't met many black people.

I bet Indian animators would have given the NPCs head bobbles.

The future = hope.

Everyone in this collage looks straight out of a propaganda poster.

Starfield, Bethesda’s latest RPG, is nothing short of a cosmic catastrophe. It’s a black hole of mediocrity, sucking in any semblance of fun or engagement. Its vast universe is as empty as the void of space itself, filled with monotonous quests that are as exciting as watching paint dry on a spaceship hull.

Character customization? More like character assassination. The options are so limited, they make a clone army look diverse. Dialogue options are as shallow as a puddle on Mars, and your choices impact the world as much as a pebble does a supernova.

The combat system is a disaster of intergalactic proportions. It’s as clunky as a rusted-out space junker, turning every encounter into a test of patience rather than skill. The crafting system is a labyrinthine nightmare, producing items that wouldn’t be out of place in a space trash compactor.

The graphics, while initially dazzling like a distant star, quickly reveal themselves to be a supernova of glitches. Texture pop-ins, frame rate drops, bugs, crashes - it’s like navigating through an asteroid field of technical issues.

In short, Starfield is a space odyssey of disappointment. It’s a glitch-infested, soulless void that fails to deliver on its promise of a deep, immersive RPG experience. It’s a stark reminder that not all that glitters in the night sky is gold, and sometimes, a star is just a distant, cold, and lifeless rock.

Thank you.

Except it hasn't been a flop around what matters, sales figures and projected sales figures. So no ones getting the boot?

Microsoft controls the information flow of Game Pass. The first article is projected numbers and speculation written in September of 2023. The second article is a bit more nuanced. It reads more like an opinion piece. The reference the article uses to judge Starfields metric for success, was an article written by the very same publisher, in September of 2023 as well.

The only real tangible metric is Steam. The game certainly sold well in that first month. But it fell quickly in both sales and concurrent players.

Using common sense, I believe Starfield did not meet the expectations of Bethesda/Microsoft. I think they wanted another Skyrim success story. They wanted the consistent sales and concurrent players that BG3 attained. What they were met with was an initial surge of people who tried the game on Game Pass or bought the game on Steam, realized it was a not very fun game, and stopped playing. The game is desgined for long term player engagement. From the abudance of exploration, very long winded npc's, the new game plus mechanic. I don't believe this is the reception they wanted for Starfield.
