Decline Starfield - Reviews, Bethesda Slander, Todd Howard's Sweet, Sweet Lies, and more

[Fedora Master]

I largely agree with these reviews, my partner has been playing Garfield on the TV for the last few days on their XBOX and it's just really boring to watch.

Someone is keeping themselves anonymous online. Quick, assume the worst!

RPGCodex really is a cesspool.

So, are you gay or a woman? Either way: Opinion discarded.

That makes you part of the cesspool since you post here...

Played 60 hours in starfield so far. Pretty good. I'd give it like a 7.5 to 8/10. Like, it's a good game, not revolutionary or anything though. If you like bethesda's previous titles you may like it. Or if you liked Death Stranding, I'd give it a go. I got a lot of Death Stranding vibes from the game while playing and that's one of my favorite games, so ended up liking this one.
Didn't run into many bugs or issues other than the occasional CTD when fast traveling. The story is okay, and the companion quests so far are pretty good. I've enjoyed my time with it.

I can only hope that this game's failure is a wake up call and that the future will see some positive changes.

Sadly, that's never going to happen. Your review is written from a level-headed point of view, from a gamer's point of view, it's based on previous experience and expectations built from those experiences, the way it should be.

This is Microsoft's/Bethesda's point of view:

It's a validation of their work, and green light to continue with this kind of design. Codex should just forget about Bethesda and move on.

These are players, not owners of the game! Game pass and shit!
You can play the game for 10€!

It's pretty telling we haven't heard a peep about actual sales.
Does Microsoft even consider sales a metric of success anymore with Gamepass?

I take it this Brit dude isn’t part of the Todd fan club anymore?



Will he continue to play it? Will he mod out that shit?

And a big fuck you to Nexus as well I guess:

What do you mean? Fallout 3 is the original.

 

[Modron]

FoT:BoS and Fo:BoS are the originals!

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Wasteland is the original.


Well unless you want to count inspiration:

He added that the setting was inspired by his love for Mad Max 2 and post-apocalyptic fiction.While searching for a gameplay system for their new game, they came across the system of Mercenaries, Spies and Private Eyes.: 200–201  Its author Michael Stackpole was announced as the writer for Wasteland in 1987.

The original plot was supposed to be similar to Red Dawn, with Russians occupying the United States and fighting against Americans engaged in liberating their nation. St. Andre eventually decided to change this and pitched a new story involving killer robots wanting to wipe out and replace humanity, calling it a sort of cross between The Terminator and Daffy Duck, with Fargo accepting this new storyline. The game's location was chosen due to St. Andre's familiarity with the area and ability to ensure the locations of real-world places were accurate in the game.

Quack…. Quack quack quack quack quack

Talking about a game like Starfield that needs 125 GB storage space in this day and age (alongside other games as well), while Morrowind needed only like 1 GB. The 'unofficial' disk version of Morrowind that I used around the time of the original release to install the game from had less than 500 MB.

Pajeet-made textures and polygon count go brrrr.

To be fair he does say that the game has many flaws he realized later on and he did praise the originals in one of his other videos.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Todd should have never pulled out and used The Sword of Woke. Now……. It is beyond too late. (He probably had it in his possession for a bit now…)

 

[Hellraiser]

Todd should have never pulled out

Well someone somewhere should have pulled out sooner, and maybe a few decades down the line in the present day of that alternative timeline this game would have been better.

All the hype and THIS is what one gets. It feels like he/They/TODD (HA Todd pronoun) just doesn’t even care anymore.

No, their programmers, writers and designer are at best amateurs at worst hacks, so the second they tried something more ambitious and different, they hit walls and made dumb compromises to move the project forward rather than either axe it or get competent people to help them out.

It's a "the emperor is naked" moment due to the lack of the open world hiking sim and "break into any house" features, kind of like with CDP where they didn't do the one damn thing they were good at (quest branching/writing) with Cyberpunk and suddenly people started noticing all the other shit already present in Twitcher 3 like crappy skill tree design, crappy item design (made worse by the looter shooter approach), crappy exploration/open world (lol map markers, and again shitty itemization leading to shitty rewards).

Man, I usually enjoy Beth's games one way or another (i.e. highly modded Skyrim/FO, and unadultered Morrowind but I still played it modded after my first run)...but this game is not appealing at all.

Starfield Review: A Galactic Letdown - DSO Gaming

Here we are five months after the release of Starfield, but I just finished my review. This delay is because Starfield has been a significant slog to get through. Simply put, over my 100+ hours, there have been a handful of excellent moments mixed with a whole universe saturated by shallow and bland content. If you can’t tell already, this review isn’t going to be very favorable. Let’s begin the examination of what I dub ‘a galactic letdown.’

For me, all I needed to see was that nightclub with the guys wearing the dorky alien suits.

Ah necro'd I see.
