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

[Space Satan]

The problem is now why Starfield is in such a sorry state, the problem is that we are looking at what The Elder Scrolls VI will look and play like.

Right, because it's going to be in Hammerfell.
They got the games mixed up and added all the Redguards to this game.

Skyrim redguards are ages ahead of Starfield abominations and look just like authenic desert dwellers should look. They are not ugly AI-generated freaks

 

[ArchAngel]

why are you guys staying in New Atlantis all the time? Go out there and explore, the niggers are only the the city for some reason.

It's a valid criticsm but overblown by people who don't play the game.

So new Atlantis is Chicago of this world?

Has there been word on a denegrification mod yet?

While I am not as much of a completely fucked in the head racist as most Codexers, it does begin to bother me that there are packs of nogs absolutely everywhere, who are shuffling about morosely and are eyeing me threateningly.

What would be really cool and actually improve immersion would be a mod that would reduce the chance of nigs and other undesirables in the nice parts of the city while boosting it in the shithole parts of town like The Well or Ebbside.

Game is supposed to be far into future. That's how humanity will look like so it's not immersion breaking.

What the fuck. Trees are still growing in my fucking base even though I build walls and shit! That's some bullshit!

PDA journal found on a withered body:
3.09.2330 - The base is almost ready. I've just finished building walls. Space exploration is a hard but rewarding job. I'm glad I listened to Todd.
4.09.2330 - What the fuck. Trees are growing in my fucking base.
6.09.2330 - I think I've seen an ape-like shape crawling up a tree. Must be my imagination.
<missing data>
17.09.2330 - I cannot get out. I cannot get out. They have taken the Soy Dispenser Room and the second hall. I still hold the last chamber free of trees but the hope is fading now. I cannot get out. Large bulging eyes, eyes in the trees...

Does not compute with space colonization, should be reserved for Fallout 3000: Back to the Stone Age.

It seems to have generated some spicy reactions.

Loosing your shit oover vidya gaymes when you are 40+ is just pathetic.

That is his thing. He is youtube personallity that loses his shit over modern entertainment.

Better writing quality than bethesda could ever hope to achieve, lol.

This bald fuck is more cringe than the game

There has been a proliferation of "anti-woke" JewTubers in recent years. There are the S-Tier ones like Critical Drinker and A-Tier ones like Nerdrotic. There are C-Tier grifters like The Quartering and then there is the absolute Shit-Tier and Heels falls squarely into that one.

He is anti Angry Joe.

if you scream your talking points out they become more relevant

 

[Konjad]

How does the pistol deal more damage when you wear less armour? Are you throwing the bullets?

Same way a shotgun does more damage in space, magic.

Well, shooting in space is generally a very retarded idea, so everything else related is just insignificant.

do you scream in your monitor whilst typing

by the way starfield has pronouns, in case you didn't know.

but, it's just at the very end of character creation when you enter your name, you can select between he, she, they. That's pretty much all I've seen. Didn't see it being referenced in game either, feels like an afterthought and just to please the trannies tbh

jesus the more i play it the more garbage it is.

- tried exploring non story/sidequest, yeah proc gen is barely working. Shit floating around, people randomly running into walls and the performance is even worse.
- performance is even worse than i thought. In one abandoned research facility my 3090 was chugging at 100% while doing 32fps AAT FUCKING MEDIUM with DLSS at ultra performance setting. GPU has 350W tdp and it was doing only 140W which means that some part of gpu like mem bandwidth or something else was maxed out while everything else was not used. I am pretty sure now that this is either caused by GPU memory bandwidth or draw calls issue (which should be fixed since this is dx12 game). IT is not like game uses a lot of VRAM so this might be caused by some small batch of data being shoveled from memory to gpu to ram 1000s of times a second or something. Either that or their engine basically is dying. I can run faster Cyberpunk with full raytracing at 4k than this game.
- ui is not just bad it is straight up shit. Worst UI i had to deal with in any game bar none. Gothic UI compared to this garbage is masterclass. Gothic ui was bad to navigate but you never had to use it againt you will here it is exactly the opposite sure it works flawlessly but you have to use against your will ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Picked up something ? want to check it ? go to that full screen ui, want to use aid go to that full screen ui so on and so forth. The fact that you can't quickly check how encumbered you are is idiotic.
- AID items not having "use/eat" option on pickup is the most retarded thing. In order to use say some booster to health/oxygen whatever you need to pick up item go into inventory go into aid and then find it and then use it from inventory. Favoriting it makes no sense since there are 100s of aid items that you will rarely find again.
- dialogs and story further on is even worse than i thought. Constelation members dialogs which are supposed to be main cast is something written by absolute amateur. Then when you go to sidequest and npcs then you realize that it is even worse. My initial impressions about everyone being for player is true still. None of them seems like real character.
- faces animations are worse than in F4 or even skyrim. Yeah they are more "technical" but the use of them is just wrong on so many levels. Character randomly staring into different directions, bad smile attempts in middle of serious talk, so on and so forth.
- Combat is shite. Yeah it is responsive but you always fight dudes in spacesuits which means all of them look pretty much the same, allien fauna is mostly meme as they are not involved in quests/combat. All guns feels more or less the same pew pew laser or typical realworld smg, shotguns are shite with barely any kick or damage, melee is joke as well.
- Everything is spacesuit. You have to use spacesuit so normal clothes don't matter and every space suit looks pretty much the same with minor details differences and color. If tricking up avatar is your mojo in RPGs then yeah, hope you like 120 variants of the same space suit. I know StarCitizen is shit etc etc but they have exact same problem (spacesuits needed) but somehow they manage to create really differnt suits than feel completely different on your avatar.
- Game feels disconnected due to how fast travel works. Middle of enemy base ? fast travel quickly to shop sell everything and go back.
- Space is pointless. There is nothing there to do other than random fights with pirates. Even Mass Effect which never aspired to become exploration game had more point to space than Starfield.


Honestly after playing it for about 7-8 hours this is easily worst Betsheda Game. Even Oblivion which i hated had some nice aspects if you squinted your eyes. Here I can't find anything.

game is shit but I can't stop playing

Reminds me of SDG talking how alcohol is evil and destroys his life while chugging another bottle of vodka.

 

[ChildInTime]

Well, that's an honest opinion at least.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I'm really in awe at how much Bethesda fucked up with this one lmao.

Brings me back to the Oblivion days and the Codex outrage at how shit the game was, except this time it is the mainstream normies that are raging while Codexers are actually slurping this slop. Fancy that.

 

[gurugeorge]

Meh, I think I'm going to hang off on this, wait for Loverslab to get on the case so I can have my harem of sexy rocket chicks

I think it's pretty mixed right now from the people who have actually played the game. People say it has boring quests and NPCs and I can't argue with it because I haven't done any main quest yet. But criticising a Bethesda game for its writing is low hanging fruit. I think Perkel makes some good points tho, in fact I can agree with almost all of his points. thankfully, there is enough good stuff in the game too to keep it fun. And as much as I hate to say it, most of the stuff he said can be fixed by mods

 

[merser]

Playing Morrowind and eating spaghet.
And how are you.. starfielders?..

fucking Mission on the Millennium Falcon amirite

 

[Perkel]

Uninstalled game, there are better things to play than this garbage. Starfield feels like mod to Fallout4 that makes game worse not better. For all faults in storywriting Fallout 4 was decent sandbox looter/shooter with basebuilding if you ignored sidequests and story, this is definitely not.

I can't say single good thing about starfield. Game looks like remaster of PS3 game on PS4, combat is shit, writing is shit, exploration is shit, ui is shit, rpg progression is shit, space combat and exploration is shit, locations are bloated messes that all look more or less the same, like there isn't anything at all good about it.

And the worst part is that none of features of game mesh well with each other. Like someone ordered meal bought ingredients and forgot to cook it.
Usually you can find some good things in bad games. Here there is nothing.

4/10 and 4 mostly because i didn't find any gamebreaking bugs. Otherwise with gameplay bugs it would be 3 or 2.
