"It was somewhat good if you ignored the story and modded it" applies to ALL BETHESDA GAMESStarfield was somewhat redeemable as an exploration looter shooter game with starvival and deadly hazards mod paired together.
Of course he is. Lying all the time with a straight face takes its toll.Todd just sounds tired lately. I think he's about done honestly.
There doesn't seem to be any enjoyment or passion left in his job. When your lifestyle is under control, you eventually amass more money than you can spend. While a larger paycheck is appealing, you come to realize there's little fulfillment in your work. Thus, you begin to plan your next move. Frankly, I don't see the point in him staying on for another TES or Fallout release. If he derived joy from engaging with the public or felt a desperate need for it, then this would be the ideal job for him. However, in such a scenario, it should invigorate him rather than leave him looking exhausted. Instead, he should seek a managerial role free from the burdens of PR nonsense. He's a master manipulator, adept at overpromising yet delivering just enough, and very skilled at conning his fan base. I believe he's had a remarkable run.Of course he is.

BTW this reminded me of a joke: an 80 year old woman starts jogging one day and after a few meters shes stops to catch her breath. She hears a voice. It's her heart, telling her: "Bitch, either you're stopping, or I am."

Of course. I would not ever deny his despicability. He is simply the result of supply and demand.A remarkable run and just a remarkable stupid fanbase that likes to eat shit and order double.He's a master manipulator, adept at overpromising yet delivering just enough, and very skilled at conning his fan base.

Moving past the clickbait headline, this seems to be the first step taken by Todd Howard towards admitting that Starfield was a fundamentally different type of game from the subgenre established by Morrowind, though he's still pretending that complaints are prompted by the players being required to do things in a "certain way" rather than the underlying game design.
People are dumb. Proof is that they vote for Biden.An alternative explanation might be that people enjoy the games.
cant wait till years from now, when he finally admits the game was total garbageMoving past the clickbait headline, this seems to be the first step taken by Todd Howard towards admitting that Starfield was a fundamentally different type of game from the subgenre established by Morrowind, though he's still pretending that complaints are prompted by the players being required to do things in a "certain way" rather than the underlying game design.
Many Codexers fail to understand that majority of people who play games are normies that have low standards.People are dumb. Proof is that they vote for Biden.An alternative explanation might be that people enjoy the games.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't play non-Bethesda games that aren't sport games. He never did, and he is simply not interested in playing. That's why he's so out of touch that he has no idea 'you can travel anywhere' in hundreds of games by now - for him Starfield was the first game he could travel anywhere.I like Todd but his head seems stuck in, like, 1990. He still seems to think Starflight is the pinnacle of gaming because you can "go anywhere" (which was also his favourite thing about Arena, apparently). Doesn't matter that there's nothing to actually do when you land, the appeal is simply that you can go anywhere.And although Howard thinks that's "perfectly understandable," he says it's just not the experience Starfield sets out to provide. "I do think for us—particularly me—going into a science-fiction game, I want to be able to land on all the planets. I want the game to say 'Yes' to us, knowing that that content is gonna be different than you've seen from us in the past."
If Starfield had released in 1990 - exact same game, but with older technology and released on DOS - it would definitely have been an all-time classic that people would still be playing/pretending to have played today, and would have been absolutely seismic and influenced games to this day. But it's not 1990, it's 2024, and I don't get how he can still think it's impressive to be able to click on a planet and be greeted with a giant empty procgen space with nothing in it. Even Mass Effect already did this with the shitty Mako maps. His "dream game" is shit that's already been done over and over again. He literally thinks, speaks and acts like someone who's been in a coma for three decades and has just woke up.
Next up he'll release a game that plays exactly like Wolfenstein 3D and enthuse that "it's my dream game because you're in first person, it's like you're really there".
M$ bought Bethesda, I doubt it is going bust anytime soon.Inconclusive. I hope it has. I dream seeing Bethesda going bust for all it’s done to Fallout.
76 is probably better than fallout 2Inconclusive. I hope it has. I dream seeing Bethesda going bust for all it’s done to Fallout.
Bethesda has never used Sweet Baby.i heard DLC are less subject to Sweet B*by oversight, it's possible that todd purposely delayed House Varuun to bypass censors because the vetting process is frontloaded
Why would you need body augmentations to breathe underwater when you're already wearing a pressurized suit with oxygen tanks?Enhance clinics in SF should have more gameplay ramifications. Giving your character bionic eyes for night vision or gills to breathe underwater would be interesting. Problem is the game is already too easy, so cybernetic augmentations might make things worse
I would almost bump it up a grade if it had explorable ocean worlds like Kamino.Reminder that Starfield does not allow diving and underwater exploration.
actually yeah, New Atlantis not having a place to swim is giga-retardedI would almost bump it up a grade if it had explorable ocean worlds like Kamino.Reminder that Starfield does not allow diving and underwater exploration.
Not like there would be anything interesting below water lol..actually yeah, New Atlantis not having a place to swim is giga-retardedI would almost bump it up a grade if it had explorable ocean worlds like Kamino.Reminder that Starfield does not allow diving and underwater exploration.

i wish they did. instead they have NO standards, they eat whatever they're told to because they have no idea what's going on and don't even want to know.normies that have low standards.
