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

[Drakortha]

I'm gonna wait 5 years after release when the full all-DLC-included edition costs 15 bucks during a Steam Summer Sale and there's three dozen gameplay rebalance mods and some foot fetish mods I can install to make the gameplay better and give me something to look at

As long as the moddability is the same as all other Bethesda games, it's gonna be decent years after release with enough mods installed over it.

Please kill yourself.

For me its better to play bethesda games at release and installing those first few mods/fixes as they come out, then again in a year when there are a lot more mods but the process is still manageable in reasonable time I am not anymore amused with spending a week to choose from thousands of mods and install them properly only to play a few hours after that. And whenever I followed a recommended modding guide, no matter what anyone says its always to their own taste/not satisfying/what I want.

so much for the "fallout 76 was made by a different team!"

At this point I am not sure who to bet on as far delivering a worse new game goes, bethesda or obsidian.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Why do you post that rat Wunderbar?
He has no credibility or integrity for that matter.

 

[Wunderbar]

He's a rat, but he's still relatively credible as far as leaking stuff goes. It's not like i'm reposting another coolstory about crunch or harassment.


I doubt he would waste his credibility points by saying something without knowing for certain.

 

[Nephilim]

Didn't Bethesda pretty much blacklist him for spoiling Fallout 4 before the release?

 

[Vic]

bethesda is good at making open world games that push the envelope... hope this one is going to be good not like piece of trash cyberpunk

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i'd gladly settle for an updated skyrim in spaaaaace. i'd still only buy the ultradefinitive last ending edition 10 years from now for no more than 10 bucks, and i'd still feel guilty for not giving my money to modders, who transformed an interstellar turd into something bearable.

Well he still managed to leak Fallout 76 before the official reveal.

People actually thought that, why? F76 was announced as Bethesda's biggest game ever by Todd Howard himself, it was the first time their main studio in Maryland even got support from other Beth studios like the one in Austin/ex Battlecry studio.

His Prey 2 articles back in 2013 IIRC

Never forget

I can see it already: another CGI trailer at E3/Summer Game Fest, maybe followed by a short in-game teaser, that doesn't tell you shit about the game's nature. More details at QuakeCon (if the fanboys are "lucky"), but the first actual gameplay showing will be at The Game Awards.

 

[Wunderbar]

People actually thought that, why?

the consensus was that Zenimax pushed Bethesda to make a multiplayer survival battleroyale cashgrab, and since their Rockville studio was busy with the next big thing (supposedly Starfield), Battlecry was assigned to do the job. However, the development got into trouble thanks to bethbryo not being well-suited for multiplayer games, so Zenimax ordered Rockville and Todd to help them out.

he lied.

Console fanboys using the word "exclusive" when it's on multiple platforms is amusing.

It's not like the console bro fanboys really pay any attention to PC.
They're too busy arguing with the other camp of boneheads about which weak hardware platform is "better".
And crowing about when their side gets an exclusive, to rub it in the others' faces.

And if they ever did think of PC for a moment, like when we get one of their "exclusives":

Meanwhile, their mental and hardware retardation only drags gaming down.

Their platforms are not weak currently. Try buying a gaming computer with 8 zen 2 cores, 16gb of fast ram, 1 terrabyte ssd and 11 terraflops of rdna2 gpu for 400 euros.

Who can blame him for taking advantage of his brainless cult following fanbase?

We don't need to see the game to get hyped for it. It's Bethesda Studios, they always deliver the goods. In Todd we strust.

yea no, with the current shortages it's more like 850-1k dollars, kek. which makes the proposition of acquiring one of those consoles far less attractive, not to mention Sony is charging 70 bucks a game instead of 60, when 60 was already far too much for what you got in some cases. I'll stick with my PC, thanks.

Over here the only console with a shortage is the ps5, I got my series x easily and it wasn't 400 euros, it was 500.

Regarding game prices, they are indeed ridiculously expensive, but with gamepass, I get to always have something interesting to play for a cheap monthly sub.

The only downsides so far, is not having a good 4k tv capable of taking advantage of features like hdr and 120fps, and the occasional bug with the controller.

And that's the latest scam, the industry's been clawing for a subscription model for ages and they'll raise prices as they consolidate market shares. A constant, reliable cashflow riding on the back of a few good titles amortizing an endless stream of hopeless rubbish, just like on TV, rather than individual products succeeding or failing à la carte, and diluting lemons in the larger distributor operation instead of the publisher's. Sure, TV shows also bomb, but the environment is more friendly to failure and mediocrity thrives. Funnily enough, I have TV as part of my internet subscription and I never watch it.

This is going to be the greatest cRPG ever created, you will all regret doubting the genius that is Todd Howard.

 

[DraQ]

This engine update is so big, and with the power of XBOX, Starfield will allow 16 times the detail ~Todd

Who else is tired of this shit?

TardTranslation:

We are so incompetent at software development that we somehow made something so monumentally fucky and inefficient that even we have managed to make it 16x better given enough time.

Better now?
