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

[ArchAngel]

Some guy counted the black to white ratio in New Atlantis and posted it on the Steam forums

whites are obviously not the majority if you have all races mixed together. Did he count asians? because when I counted there were as much asians as blacks

If they care for realism there would be very little blacks or whites. It would be 75% asians and indians and then 15% whites and 10% blacks.

muh realism in sci fi settign

they just randomly generate them from their preset, but it's pretty even among all races

but because of RNG it's possible to see mostly only blacks or only whites etc. people are blowing this way out of proportion for the meme value

Yea I'm sure in 300 years Pajeets will be out in force colonizing space instead of wallowing in their own filth, unable to figure out toilets like they have been for the past few millennia

Quin and Asmongold are shitting hard on the game



“a mindless, brainless, content devoid marathon to nothing”

Inclined cop-out lol

so just like all the MMOs that that retard is constantly playing?

People buy into these provocative hype videos all the time and give those fucktards money.

can you say baah?

the reception of starfield shows that people, despite their complaints, absolutely need hand holding in video games, otherwise they be like Konjad and try flying into some random ass rock not even part of the game map, then call the game shit because they can't land there.

Like it or not these streamers influence the conversation surrounding the game. The game hasn’t officially launched yet and the conversation is mostly negative. Not looking good for Bethesda.

The game simply filters out those who weren't smart enough to be part of the chess club.

Well story is Earth was evacuated so unless they only evacuated Europe and USA and Africa (by the look of New Atlantis they did) they would be there in space in big numbers.

bethesda made the mistake of creating a huge game with tons of shit going on and giving the player total freedom over it. normies don't know what to do and call the game boring.

What makes it even more bizarre and jarring is the totally abandoned Earth that no one even talks about. Oh yeah sure, our homeworld is completely fucked yet we still survive in colonies and never go there, try to rebuild anything or even talk about it, nothing to see here move along sir.

It's got no magnetosphere bro, it's like a chicken nugget left in a constantly-running nuclear-powered microwave for hundreds of years.
What exactly do you want them to do? Most space hicks don't even believe it existed.

Which is a bit unscientific, even without the magnetic field it would take millions (probably hundreds of millions) of years for Earth to look like that, not a hundred or so years it took in the game.
Though I haven't seen much lore on it yet, maybe there is some explanation.

Here some real criticism.

I've been doing a bounty hunt and a ship landed near me, I went inside and saw the captian who was trying to fix his ship. He was a bit looney, and when I asked him why he doesn't buy a new ship if his old one gives him so much trouble he retorted to me "what are you rich? if you are my next question is are you single. I'm not, but I can be for the right price." seems like even bethesda can't fucking make a game without woke shit in it.

Spoiler

This encounter had nothing else to it, just this conversation with him, I didn't get an option to help him with his ship, and as I went back out he left after a minute or so.

“a mindless, brainless, content devoid marathon to nothing”

But enough about Quinn and Asmongold.

They don't say why though, most of humanity could have been wiped out before the evacuation.

Would make sense as everyone lives in tiny villages with a population under about 200.

considering restarting the game fresh now that I have a better understanding of it.

It seems there is a common consensus that the early hours of the game are shit, so you guys all whining after the first few hours seems to be how everybody feels, and that the game gets better and better the more you play and discover. Personally I don't get it, the moment I started exploring Kreet I already knew what kind of game it was.

I do think Starfield is Todd Howard's magnum opus.

ahh the classic "the first 50 hours are shit, get better after that" argument. Must always be at least an amount of time that makes a game unrefundable for some reason.

Must be a great experience.

As I have said before, more like 10 hours. Although it depends on how you play.

And it isn't shit, it just isn't as compelling. I think this largely boils down to them introducing you to a main city right away and the fact that the settlements in this game are much larger than in their previous games, but have about the same content. So they are more spread out (something that the realism appreciator in me appreciates), but it also feels much more empty even though there is still the same amount of content.

And it also doesn't help that first city, New Atlantis, was deliberately designed to be sterile and artificial feeling as a way to characterize the leadership and philosophy of the United Colonies faction. You understand better once you explore The Well (the poor area of New Atlantis) and other settlements.

So a lot of players wind up spending quite a few hours trying to explore everything in the first city and maybe exploring a little bit on the first planet, and it gets a bit boring and doesn't really show off a lot of what you can do in the game. Plus it creates the impression that the game is emptier with less to do.

A fuller appreciation of the scale of the content and available gameplay options only really happens when you start venturing other places.

I would recommend to a new player that they not spend more than a couple hours in New Atlantis when you first get there, even though the average gamer's urge will be to try to fully explore everything. You can come back and explore it more fully later. In fact, I would make that recommendation for all major cities. They are so big that trying to explore them all in one go can be a bit mentally exhausting and boring. Break it up into smaller chunks to enjoy it more.

they say why if you

Spoiler

do the quest with sarah to fly to the space station in earth's orbit, if you ask her what happened to earth she tells you that earth lost its atmosphere and all the stuff dribbled out into space or something. earth had like 10 years or something to evacuate and that's that. that's off the top of my head

the effort is appreciated but i'm not that interested in the game and was just making a bit fun of it. A shame to take your time for that to explain

I had a gay couple invite me to their ship to celebrate their anniversary. Stuff happened, and I ended up with one more ship in my possession. Can't wait for Space Dog's broadcast about big homophobic.

PS: good job killing those faggots. I should've killed that fucker too and sold his ship off.

It's okay, my posts are usually only half for the person I am responding to and half for everyone else reading the thread, even those who don't ever post.

No, the meme image was made months before launch and the pajeet doing it thought there would be one.

No, a spacefaring civ would require the population to have a minimum average IQ, or else they would not survive, or lose the ability to produce and maintain the tech. With that in mind, East Asians would make up the majority, and whites a significant minority. Indians would be a small minority. Blacks, almost nonexistent. Regardless, assuming no racial separation, most of the population would have homogenized to become Eurasian hybrids.
