Starfield Thread - now with Shattered Space horror expansion

[MadMaxHellfire]

I'm not even joking anymore. I had to beg infinitron last time to remove this stupid tag and now some dipshit gave it to me again because I like a game? go and fuck yourself asshole

dude, i've been an ass for 15 years now, and still haven't managed to earn a tag. maybe, just maybe, the answer you seek is inside of you. but it's the wrong one.

After completing the questline in full, I feel even more strongly that Crimson Fleet is the best questline in the game. It's not even particularly close. It has the most intriguing plot hook. Makes better use of the setting and art assets. Leverages the game mechanics way more thoroughly, basically every decent use of space ships in the game (aside from the simulator) is in this questline. It has better stealth missions than the stealth faction. It has the most consequential decisions of any questline. And to top it all off, it has the best ending sequence of all the factions like 3x over. If the rest of the game were at this level of quality, it would have been received much better.

Eventually the writing in Bethesda games will improve.

Yeah but doesn't it make half the world's enemies peaceful to you?

You go exploring and find a dangerous facility and nobody is hostile because they're Crimson Fleet?

And we continue our ongoing commitment to bring intentional, inclusive practices and thinking to everything we do at Xbox.

Not likely. Automatic censorship included in the package free of charge.

Nah, most enemies are Spacers and Eliptic anyways.

I was watching this overly long review when I fell asleep only to wake up near the end of them talking about the npc characters looks and talking being… well Bethesda sameness which was a huge let down compared to BG3. Is BG3 character animations and emotions really the new level to raise to and base modern games from here on out?

Just started playing Starfield almost straight after completing Cyberpunk 2077 and let me tell you, it's hard.

Technically, the game is inferior in so many ways. Tiny environments devoid of atmosphere, constant loading screens, dead-eyed characters, static conversations... the story also seems much less engaging.

Shooting is okay, but enemy AI is so brain-dead. I move behind a dude and put a whole clip in his back before he understands I'm there, turns around and returns fire. If not for bullet sponges, these enemies would not present any threat at all.

I just arrived in Constelation headquarters, so I'm pretty early in the game. I'll try to march on, but with such a rough start I'm not sure if I'll be able to get much deeper into this game.

If you value your time, you should listen to your instincts. It doesn't get better.

its more about the fact that apparently writing has no edginess to it. its safe, bland, flat. good writing in vidya does not really need acting and animations. and good animations played during boring dialogues are worthless. nothing will replicate the feeling you get from the first important dialogue in deus ex. the guys talk and look like robots, yet all the heavy lines about corporate tax rates leave many players in mild shock wondering whats going. thats a hook. hook built into the game. i think a lot of gamers would be able to excuse poor animations etc. if starfield was trying to be interesting and daring for a second.
maybe when it comes to "industry standards" you are right, bg3 is the new benchmark. but so many things industry consider new standards, i (and i suppose many people here) consider decline.

Now we know who they used to model all the blacks in the game. This explains a lot :D

WTF is that?

This is cool though? If you get bored of Spacers and Ecliptics just jump to a new universe.

You're right. She should have been an arrogant English major that tries to disguise awful prose by overusing high concept ideas. Get the fuck out of here, you guys worship a bunch of humanities majors that wussed out of college-level math.

I think this picture tells the truth. I found it on Facebook.

 

[jackofshadows]

Either hard cope or trolling picture. Also as "amazing" only shills call it, not even normietards.

 

[Yosharian]

Lmao the average player has sunk 100 hours into it? I think fucking not

 

[taxalot]

I first misread the picture as IQ instead of hours, but it worked too.

I'm confused. Is any causation implied here? In which direction?

And all that managed to produce was the most mediocre piece of shit "game" ever to come out of zenimax. I'm sure you intended that to be some kind of gotcha, but it really isn't, is it?

It is a she? looks like a dude trying to look like a she.
