Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[WhiskeyWolf]

Christ how bad must the game be to get a 7 from IGN, even Diablo 4 got a 9!

The guy that did the IGN review gave Prey 5/10.

Pretty much anyone who get the game for free in advance will make shitty reviews because:
1. They get game for free without paying and can play it
2. They can make more money on youtube thanks to exclusive pre-release review
3. They will not get more games if they bash them
4. You need a solid integrity to get game for free and bash it, and then you risk having your youtube "game journo" money dry up.
5. Therefore most will falsely praise the game or at least give it 6/7 even if its pure shit.

This is a shortsighted policy on behalf of invidivual, as it will grant him immediate pleasure and benefit at a relatively low personal cost, while worsening the standards of the indsutry for the future and other consumers.

And just like that, the Codex trusts reviews from gaming journalist and e-celebs. When it's something you hated, codex, before even knowing what it was, then journalist and youtubers are the end all be all of opinions. Go get your asshole stretched by a bear. You are the NPC meme.

Idk you're saying man, IGN is trusworthy source for reviews , they gave this one 7/10 , which mean is super mediocre.

The introduction letter of Bethesda sandboxes have always signed in this section what is called 'wow moment'. The path down the hill to Riverwood in Skyrim and the feeling of being immersed in a believable world. The exit from the Oblivion sewer, which in the middle of 2006 left your jaw on the ground. The escape from Vault 101 in Fallout 3 and the presentation of a hopeless wasteland. In Starfield we woke up in a mine. After five minutes we already crushed stone as a tutorial on minerals and their collection. Half an hour passes and you already have your character customized, the first pirate squadron eliminated and the control panel of your ship in your hands, ready to take off towards the unknown. Two, five, ten hours pass and that moment never comes. Nor will it in the coming hours.

prey (2017) wasn't great but 5/10 is pretty low honestly hard to believe

It's funny how the RPGCodex takes IGN, Gamespot and mainstream reviewer's words seriously when it's convenient, for example Gamespot gave Pathologic 2 a 5/10 which implies Starfield is better which is obviously fucking stupid

It's not just about their score. Starfield reeked of mediocrity from the very beginning. Also we are not dealing with an experimental indie game. It's a mainstream Bethesda shit.

I knew it's going to be shit as soon as I heard those claims about it having "1000 explorable planets".

When it comes to games that are hyped like this, usually the initial reception should be very positive, because after a couple of months, the cracks start to show and the true verdict comes out. If the initial reception is already mid/mixed, that's just fucked up.

BG3 is like Dark Souls 1, all the good content is frontloaded and the last 33% sucks. Starfield is a more consistent experience. Vanilla Minecraft isn't great, either

 

[Cryomancer]

I really hope that Baizuo's Gate 3 outsell this game. Because maybe, just maybe Bugthesda will not decline TES VI more than TES V was already declined.

It was 4/10 because he encountered a game breaking bug, changed it to 8/10 after patches but probably because he received a lot of backlash

Todd Howard has said so many lies over the years about the Bugthesda releases that there are compilation videos out there. The company relies upon the modding community to fix their broken ass games which is why the meme Modders will fix it exists.

There has never been a Bugthesda game released that was actually stable on day one. We're talking going all the way back to the beginning in 1986.

Considering they belong now to Microsoft and after this turd I'm pretty convinced TES VI will be completely scrapped or given to a different studio

that's kinda funny, I think back in 2017 there was the whole "gamers getting mad about unfinished games" zeitgeist maybe this writer was trying to bandwagon on that but somehow stepped on a landmine

 

[Late Bloomer]

Late Bloomer on a scale from 1 to 10, how butthurt are you now?

Well, the advertising was mostly to negroes and homosexuals, which soured me on the game. I would say my butthurt is about a 7, just like IGN's. You are at least funny, while the rest of these clowns were just chomping at the bit to shit on anything Bethesda related. Even if it means trusting games journalist and ecelebs. Pathetic.

 

[soutaiseiriron]

The guy that did the IGN review gave Prey 5/10.

That's accurate. (ok, maybe 6/10)
Human Revolution, Mankind Divided and the Dishonored games are far better immersive sims. The combat sucks complete cock and feels worse than SS2 and you backtrack through the same shit over and over through the worst enemy designs ever. But hey, it has two optional routes for each objective with an air vent and the glue gun and a lot of readable trash with meaningless boring lore and an occasional keypad code, so it's clearly an inclined godlike 9/10 imsim.

This is actually quite true. It is utter shit from beginning to end. There is something to be said for being consistent.

 

[darkpatriot]

You know the Codex is full of fags now if people are genuinely, unironitcally considering playing this normie filth.

Good to know my expectations were well calibrated:

Based on the small amount of footage I have seen I am expecting it to play a lot like FO4. Which is fine, I enjoyed FO4 and won't mind playing space FO4. I will have fun with that even if the space stuff winds up being lackluster.

I think there are probably a lot of people that are setting unrealistic expectations for this game though, and they might wind up pretty disappointed. It'd be great if Todd proves me wrong and puts out an amazing space game. I'm not holding my breath, though.

While I think that Bethesda certainly tried to create some hype about the space exploration, I think a lot of these unrealistic expectations are things people do to themselves.

As much as people want to blame the devs and publishers (who do bear some blame by not reigning in wild expectations), space sim fans seem to embrace the wildest and most fabulously optimistic expectations regarding space exploration and universe simulation with even the most minor prompting. Given the number of times they have been burned on games they go into with those expectations, you would think they would learn.

It's going to be a Bethesda game, more specifically Fallout 4 in space. If you enjoy Bethesda games, Fallout 4 in particular, and are having realistic expectations it sounds like it is going to deliver on that. If you thought Bethesda was going to create a wildly different type of game, some kind of space sim, that was a silly thing to do.

Much of the scope and scale is an illusion, says soy boy Luke Stephens

 

[Stavrophore]

That feel when the Scam Citizen is an actual universe simulator and turdthesda game is yet again a tram cart placed on a horse acting as a presidential subway.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

This thing never had a chance in the year of Baldings gate 3

 

[IDtenT]

Oh, after midnight. That's disgusting.

Fuk u

I didn't buy the game, lmao. I've got Gamepass, so I'm waiting a week anyway. That's if I play past the intro which I doubt I will because I haven't played games for like six months.
