Starfield Thread - now with Shattered Space horror expansion

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

Remember modders will fix it.

They will tho. Bethesda has a community of very talented modders they made a lot of stuff out of skyrim and some is yet to come.

Diablo 4 is least woke AAA RPG of 2023 and it’s by far the worst. I’ll take Bethesda jank and Frankenstein NPCs over battle passes and yearly “expansions”.

It's all shit

Mod that removes the throngs of weird niggers from the game, liberating New Apelantis from their vile occupation: https://basedmods.eth.link/browse/

Search for Starfield in the list of games all you'll find the mod, accurately titled "No Blackkks"

I like Bethesda RPGs. I have issues with Starfield but I'm not going to pretend I hate it for Codex cred.

Ah, here in cuckland it's 3.5 then. Still, you'd expect more from a supposedly massive hypetrain of a game.

3.6 here, there's a lot of 1/5 and 5/5 reviews with almost nothing inbetween, and all the 1/5 reviews are from people playing it on bad pcs where they can't even play the game since their pcs can't run it.

This is insane. 10% Bethesda's effort, 90% outsourced to various sweatshops around the world.

you people will say "LOOK TODD IS WOKE TODD IS WOKE" while France is burning.

HE'S. TRYING. TO. WARN. YOU.

France has a long history of african citizens, being one of the former colonial powerhouses.

That's bullcrap, even the historical colonies residents never went much to the mainland before mid-20th century. The first massive influx of decolonization refugees was after the Algerian war in the 60s and it brought massive unrest and ethnic tensions, even tho it was a mostly white conservative mediterranean population.

Jews were actually one of the first indigenous (sort of) peoples from colonies (in Magreb) to be given french citizenship in late 19th century, and it created huge outrage, both in large part of mainland France population, and among the Arabic population of the colonies who considered it unfair treatment.

One famous author with afrocaribean ancestry don't make "a long history of african citizens"

45 minutes of credits? What the actual F?

Pajeets have long, complicated names.

Someone in the other thread was decrying the game for apparently lacking location damage...

Would our prestigious RPG connoisseurs of refined taste and superior knowledge spread fake news? Surely not.

It's actually quite amusing how offensive it is to French people to see their history conveyed through a black woman. Please do The Netherlands with a Moroccan next.

But Americans likely don't properly understand just how racist all of Europe is. Sure, the politics have evolved enough to protect the immigrants but no black or arab minority has had a MartinJr. movement of their own, they are not integrated in any way into the historicaly whiter-than-white society. I guess the brits might be more inclooosive but then again, something-something-brexit.

Europeans are so racist that they aren't even done with the white-on-white hate amongst themselves, let alone start with blacks and arabs.

Didn't France occupy the Rhineland with so many negro soldiers after WW1 it created an entire generation of German mulattos?

but both are better than pretty much anything we got back in the 2000s

Off the top of my head:

2000: Deus Ex, Arcanum and BG2
2001: Wizardry 8
2002: Gothic 2 and Morrowind
2004: Bloodlines
2009: Dragon Age Origins

All better RPGs than Starfield

It's true that the beginning is bland and insipid. But were we spoiled by Baldur's Gate 3? Its introduction is immersive, original, alien, and super epic. The narrative is excellent, and each NPC has an actor's performance. Who could forget Raphael, for example? Here, the problem is that they haven't evolved much, if at all, from Fallout 4. The game certainly has redeeming qualities and some fun to be had, but all of it seems so amateurish now. There's not much to impress on the screen. The ship landing and taking off are pretty good and well-detailed, and some interiors are very well made. However, the first town I see seems far below something like Cyberpunk 2077, which was also harshly criticized at its release. Still, I don't see anything justifying such high specs. As for the gameplay, there's no evolution, and the shooter parts, especially the AI, are far below what you could get in Half-Life or Stalker.

"So we want to do something different than Fallout for once. What now?"
"How about we have the character start underground."
"Perfect!"
"When they exit they find out that they are the Chosen One."
"I like where this is going."
"Then he discovers that he's the Starman!"
"He?! StarMAN?! (the room goes silent as the word MAN bounces off the walls while the team all wear facial expressions akin to having a dog vomit in their mouths) You've been docked 2 weeks pay and your ADL rep will be waiting in your pod after your shift. Be better."
"Starborn?"
"You've just earned yourself an hour in the bouncy castle, Rajpoot. I knew we hired you for a reason."
"I am Mansour. Rajpoot is at the shitting fields (Taco Tuesday hits hard)."
"Classic Raj."
"I am Mansour."
Imagine them brainstorming the beginning of the game.

It's typical BSG casualized shit, although I'd say that it's better than Bethesda's Fallout (& recent TES) titles which was somewhat of a surprise for my admittedly quite low expectations for it in the gameplay & mechanics department

Good modding potential, but certainly not worth the time in its current state.

Is there any modding out the loading screens? It seems like they were put there for a reason: the engine can't handle basic shit. Was it really impossible to make interiors accessible without forcing them into separate gated spaces unto themselves? The game runs like crap now, so I wonder how it'll handle modders trying to implement settlements populated with real NPCs that can be explored without dozens of waitgates.

And then there's the shit menus, the shit characters, the vapid university freshman dumpy loser lesbian politics, and the torrential nogging... This doesn't seem like a game at all, but a dogthroated demonstration of jubilant obeisance to western retardation.
