I stopped playing when I realized I wouldn’t ever get friendly ships to fly in space with me. Even though I know the game is capable of that because of that one side quest where you’re getting a license and you can hack the panel for advantages in the simulation. I just wanted my little fleet.

Maybe the 2004 loading screens are a deterrent?

Bullshit lol. Just buzzwords from “content creators” mad they didn’t get no man’s cyberpunk 77field, but instead got a bethesda sandbox rpg (suprised pikachu face!!!)

I heard they added vehicles and imo that’s the only thing it was missing for me. Might restart it soon

I cant handle the fucking loading screens

The game sold very well, I guarantee you he’s not asking that question. Not every imaginary argument you have in the shower deserves to be made into a comic

For me it was the emptiness. I would’ve preferred if the game just had one solar system with large cities on each planet instead of tiny settlements and procedurally generated bases on thousands of them. It makes exploring boring as you’re not really exploring, there’s no lore to learn nor interesting set pieces.

Yeah, but I’m enjoying it.

I so wanted to love Starfield. I cleared my work schedule for a week upon release. After putting in a bunch of hours, I felt let down. It reminded me of the last time I tried to play Oblivion, in that it felt clunky and unrefined.
I felt let down. Not by Bethesda, I’m aware they don’t owe me anything, but by my own expectations. The above meme kind of nails it for me.

The procedural generation just doesn’t work. The repetitive points of interest are scattered into a meaningless landscape that a computer made. A Bethesda game without good exploring is completely pointless.
I really liked the cities but the game is empty otherwise.
I will give them credit for getting better voice acting than they have ever before.

My personal opinion is that the game needed better characters. Most of the NPCs lacked depth and development. Its fine for a multiplayer game to have shallow NPCs and weak characterization but if you want to build a successful single player game and develop a decent narrative, you need characters that are meaningful and compelling. Good characters will carry a weak story – a good story will not fix boring characters. Uncharted, the last of us, witcher, red dead redemption, god of war, cyberpunk – it was the characters that made these unforgettable experiences. The gameplay in these games was good, but secondary to how compelling the story became as we were invested in the characters.

Starfield isn’t even all that bad.

People pay for the love hotel experience.

Its a walk and talk simulator.

Hey man, it’s on the most popular list of gamepass games where 80% of the players are

It’s actually a great game folks.

Please Todd make another game with Morrowind style quests.

I enjoy it for what it is. If I want a true space exploration game/sim I will play Elite Dangerous.

I played Starfield for almost 30 hours. Couldn’t even point out what exactly made me stop as I had a blast for most of it and I barely touched the main story. I just suddenly lost all interest I had in completing it because it felt like I’ve already seen it all.
30 hours is not nothing, but other games of this scale (in terms of size) start hooking you in around that playtime. Elden Ring comes to mind. I spent 90 hours on my first playthrough and immediately played it again afterwards.

So chqtgpt made a cartoon based on negative reviews by playstation centric yourube channels. This is a new low.

It just feels sooo empty! So many planets that even with the increased population mods with wildlife, people and resources it still feels empty….
Epic-Battle
I think Starfield should be renamed Sheltered-Space, because this is what the game feels like – It does not want to risk offending anyone, and thus it ends up beign boring!
EldritchAnimation
I don’t care too much that it isn’t open. It’d not have been what I expected, but I’d be happy even if it was exactly like it is now, but those separate areas and stories were interesting.
Also not only are the stories uninteresting, but even if they were the way Bethesda tells stories really needs a drastic overhaul. Those videos where they compare the storytelling in Starfield vs the storytelling in Cyberpunk are just embarrassing for Bethesda.

The thing that’s memorable about Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, FO 3&4 are the worlds you explore and quest within.
I played 50 hours of starfield and I couldn’t name one planet outside of our solar system that was fun to explore and play on. Heck, I couldn’t name one planet full stop. I’ve had more fun within Riverwood than I did amongst the stars in Starfield.

Starfield: Where every corner of the universe feels like a room in a theme hotel—great decor, but no doors to the next room!

The game as a foundation is flawed there’s no way a DLC could fix it

A sea of fishbowls sitting next to one another. This right here keeps me from playing it.

They made a space game with no aliens. Let me seduce a space cockroach as I slowly work my way up to becomeing the right hand man for a space wizard

Starfield is everything that’s wrong with gaming.
Its a game made with no passion at all. You can tell no one at Bethesda really wanted to make it as the whole game is just half assed stories, npcs, and world building. It’s a Sci-Fi game with no aliens to interact with. A ‘ship’ mini-game thats shallow and boring. Its clear the only two people who wanted this are Todd and Emil both of whom wouldn’t know a good game from a bad one.
Frankly? I don’t understand how anyone can enjoy it. It’s one of the most mid games made and note we are now in a day and age where mid doesn’t cut it. If you want a game to cost as much as Starfield costs? Then it needs to be a masterpiece. Add in Bethesda as lost whatever talent they had as they are just pumping out garbage like Redfall, Starfield, even the next Doom looks boring and mid.
We live in a day and age where people want BG3’s and Elden Rings. Bethesda and Microshit isn’t giving us that. They are just milking us with crap that as cut content DLC and microtransactions. Really at this point? I don’t even want TES6 I’d just like to remember it for Morrowind.

We’re not angry, Todd, we’re disappointed.
Look at the Steam reviews for Starfield and the DLC.

Now look at Skyrim’s and its DLCs.
Look back.
I’m on an armored horse.
