    Bethesda's ethos has been to make game in which you can "Live another life". Sadly Starfield seems to have abandoned this for "live another mediocre scifi show" because that's what it feels like. Gone is the expansive, immersive open world previous titles have had you emerge blinking into. Worlds in which you could see a distant mountain and set off with the goal to find it and climb it,Bethesda's ethos has been to make game in which you can "Live another life". Sadly Starfield seems to have abandoned this for "live another mediocre scifi show" because that's what it feels like. Gone is the expansive, immersive open world previous titles have had you emerge blinking into. Worlds in which you could see a distant mountain and set off with the goal to find it and climb it, discovering along the way countless adventures. Replaced with a quest log, cut scenes and loading screens whisking you from one soulless level to another, sure many technically exist on open world maps but you would be forgiven for not noticing as the relevance it has to the gameplay. If you do decide to "explore" a planet you find nothing but endless tracts of randomly scatted rocks, plants and critters separating icon marked copy pastes of the POIs.

    There is no sense of distance or scale, no permanence or solidity to the world the game proports to put you in. All of which I might forgive if the writing, hand crafted locations and characters were more memorable or coherent but even here the game fails to impress. I can't help but feel like the hard working and skilled folks at Bethesda just didn't have their hearts in this game. I hope they can find their passion and grove again in time for TES6.

    Honestly it isn't terrible and I would give it more than a 4 if it were from a different studio. But this is a Bethesda game, it has to be judged in relation to the likes of TES and Fallout and in that respect it falls so far short of those greats its rather a sad state of affairs.    … Expand

    Midfield it is. Bethesda has been on slow decline after Morrowind, simplifying their games and systems to appease larger crowds, but Oblivion and Skyrim still had souls, exploration was a blast and every dungeon or shrine had some history or lore behind it. Story was worth following as well.
    In the same vein, Fallout went from having robust rpg systems and learning curve, through F3 which    Midfield it is. Bethesda has been on slow decline after Morrowind, simplifying their games and systems to appease larger crowds, but Oblivion and Skyrim still had souls, exploration was a blast and every dungeon or shrine had some history or lore behind it.

    In the same vein, Fallout went from having robust rpg systems and learning curve, through F3 which changed the formula to fallout 4 which was stripped of most of its rpg elements and turned into a shooter with vats, still it was worth exploring cause the world was hand crafted and there was **** to discover.
    That leads us to Midfield, with which Bethesda completely abandoned any pretense of trying. Either they dont care anymore or they simply dont have the people who brought quality to their games. Nothing that made Bethesda games good or enjoyable is here. Exploration is a waste of time, most planets are straight up empty and added only to increase size of the shallow puddle. There is no world/universe building or history to speak of. No deep systems to engage with, other than building your own ship if you are into that, but why would you if the space battles are mostly skippable and the space combat is attrocious and ship travel between and within planets is just a cutscene. Skill tree would be good enough if the skills worked as they are supposed to. Combat itself is horrid, melee isnt viable at all and gunplay has no weight behind it, plus the variety of gun types is pathetic. Even more pathetic is the variety of enemy types, its pretty much nonexistent, there is no intelligent non human life btw, few useless monster types, but 90% of the time you are fighting humans, in case of bosses, they are half humans, half sponges, some teleport. Writing is dog****, the dialogues are waste of time, following the "story" is a waste of time, trying to get to know your companions is a waste of time and the twist at the end is the most cliche scifi trope anyone could imagine. And its full of ugly npcs and ESG slop bethesda gladly servers you in excess of whats mandated to meet the quota.
    In other words, there is no way to play starfield and make it enjoyable, if you have any standards for quality of anything. Be it the story, worldbuilding, exploration or combat. Unless you are proffesional ship designer, starfield has nothing to offer you.
    Oh and everything I said concerns only the vision and idea of the game itself, even if the game was polished and technically sound, it would still be mediocre in every way, but ofc its not technically sound, its plagued with bugs and disgusting optimazation.    … Expand

    Has potential to be good though, but that is assuming BGS or modders fix the performance, removes the woke and adds missing features (it will probably not be BGS doing these things....)

    5) The planets are too ridiculously similar to each other and too ridiculously similar to Earth
    6) Surveying the different planets is too ridiculously tedious and unrewarding. So are building outposts. There not being any kind of grav bike or other land vehicle to use is also very stupid.

    The menu system is so blatantly designed for controllers, it is incredibly awkward and unintuitive to use with mouse and keyboard.

    Ship-building is a frustrating experience, because the game does not explain the features or functionalities of the different ship parts

    My recommendation on Starfield right now is to wait 1 or 2 months and see what Bethesta can fix in terms of bugs and issues. Some of the issues might sadly be too problematic to even fix. Combat AI for example. But until these issues are sorted, the game is simply not worth playing - knowing it could be done better. The game is only 4 out of 10 until these fixes go through.

    This game is bad. It looks like game from 2013 and i some places like from 2005, but has horrible optimization, and requires top hardware for such **** graphics. Also old engine has tons of loading screens almost everywhere. It is shame, that large studios with giant budget doing such crap in 2023. Fail of the year. And they say it is "next gen" game. This is mockery on players.

    Pros:
    -Okay sidequests, factions quests are fairly good but too short
    -A lot of content but can get a bit repetitive -Main cities -The Starships are very cool -Armour and weapons look decent -Surprisingly decent graphics -Varied voice acting, haven't really had the 'repeat' feeling like experienced in Skyrim and Fallout -Modding community (Some great mods out there already)    Pros:

    -Hasn't crashed once
    -Back to the silent protagonist
    -Highly detailed misc/general items for inspecting in the inventory

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Cons:
    -Outdated Engine and it shows
    -Mod potential shouldn't be relied on to fix the game/add basic features
    -General lifeless NPCs - They don't react - for example: start shooting around New Atlantis, without hitting anyone and they will just continue walking as nothing happened (feels like Cyberpunk 2077 original NPCs before updates)
    -Broken stealth, feels like oblivion stealh - would on occasion get caught even though no one is in the room with me/all doors closed
    -Combat AI is pretty bad. Also lots of clipping and glitching out
    -A few minor bugs, companions running super fast, disappearing, falling through ship etc etc.
    -Loot no longer dynamic on corpses - RNG based.
    -Poor optimisation. RTX 3090 / Ryzen 9 5950x @ 1440p gets around 40-50 FPS while exploring planets and cities however in small closed off areas I get around 80-120 FPS. Also lag when switching weapons, and switching scanner on and off
    -Planet exploration: A lot of copy paste point's of interest - breaks the immersion a lot to have the same exact locations on different planets. Also some are just downright bad and aren't rewarding for the amount of time spent walking there
    -No diving/underwater content
    -Awful UI/Inventory management. Locked to 30FPS so is a bit janky. Mods have fixed this. Highly recommend the compact UI mods on the nexus
    -No local maps which is a huge pain in cities
    -Quest management could be made nicer (Sorting quests into main cities would be great)
    -No vechicles. I don't mind about hitting planet boundaries faster with a hover bike or something. Walking/Jetpacking can get very tedious at times
    -Over reliance on fast travel
    -Way too many essential NPC's, takes immersion away if you wanted to go guns crazy

    Love Bethesda games and have enjoyed Starfield so far but honestly too many cons which shouldn't be a thing for a Bethesda title in 2023. It feels like a step back in many ways, Skyrim had more reactivity from the NPC's and it came out 12 years ago. It's not terrible, but it's not great either.
    If you are looking for a typical Bethesda game and like Fallout 4, you will probably enjoy Starfield. Bethesda haven't innovated or expanded their game design at all with starfield. If we aren't vocal in this, then ES6 will probably be the same .    … Expand

    Just play fallout 4 if you want a shooter with rpg elements. Starfield is basically worse version of that game.

    - terrible balance, companions doing 6 times your damage and immortal, healthpacks very rarely drop from enemies, this leads to safe and boring gameplay.
    - ludo narrative dissonance, often you get a quest to deal with some very dangerous people, but in reality they are some low lvl hobos that can't hurt you.
    - bad ai, super passive and with unlimited ammo they can will shoot you from distance with smg for hours even if they can't hit.
    - bad ui, instead of compact spreadsheet or icon grid you have about 6 items on screen with info only for selected items and no icons.
    - you can't fly anywhere, space part is just so you can shoot some ships or dock to a station one in a while.
    - even character editor is worse, you can't grab face parts and drag anymore.
    - quest choices are limited, your actions don't matter, you can't just kill quest npc, and they will resurrect and act like nothing happened.
    + item models are cool
    + ship building system is nice
    + 50 different models of guns and you can upgrade them, best part about the game

    -Finally a Bethesda game that supports ultra wide settings without messing with ini files. Something they still couldn't be bothered to update with Skyrim and the millionth release.
    -Player character isn't voiced. Please never do what you did with FO4 ever again.
    -Many newer AAA games put far too much focus on controllers nowadays, ignoring kb/m, but kb/m plays quite nicely

    The In between:
    -Ran okay on my PC. I cap my fps to 60, and despite having a 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800x, i was having drops to the 50's. Needs heavy optimization on PC

    The Bad:
    -Combat is horrible. I'm fairly casual and like simple games nowadays...but jfc combat is painfully dumb. First "boss" which you can talk your way out of just stood in the open and opened fire hardly hitting me, robot dude killed him as I stood there. So far all enemies I encountered you just stand in the open and fire at them. Might be the dumbest enemy AI I've seen, not to mention I just casually walked into areas and they didn't react until I was next to them (without crouching). Even then most of the time they wouldn't do anything.

    -Ship combat is clunky and unenjoyable. NMS had the same issue but I thought a AAA 2023 title would have improved this. Also it's pretty pointless to partake in outside of the beginning tutorial for it.

    -Character creation. Kinda mediocre. Hair looks as bad as always for a Bethesda game, and yet another game that thinks blond hair is yellow, white or light brown. Seriously ask Larian for their colour pallet.

    -Inventory. Clunky and a massive mess to navigate through.

    -No FOV slider, again.

    -Voice Acting. It's typical generic and bland v/a from a Bethesda title, but how can a company worth this much spend so little. Maybe I just got spoiled with another recent release that had amazing v/a.

    -The beginning is dull. People keep saying play for 15-20 hours and then it gets good. That is beyond terrible game design. Who wants to slog through 15+ hours of bad game play?

    -It's just lazy. A game this long in the making it adds absolutely nothing to the RPG genre. I can't think of any other studio that can make such lazy and uninspired games and get the "well it's a Bethesda game uwu" as if that excuses things. I don't see any way that modders can even fix this game at this point (other than performance/bug fixes, like Skyrim still needs to this day).    … Expand

    Starfield is basically a glorified mod of a Fallout 3 or a Skyrim.

    There is a big "political" controversy with the game but it feels a bit exaggerated.

    Videojuego distraído, pero no optimizado para PC. Sin DLSS. El creador del videojuego, dice que compremos máquinas nuevas, en vez de optimizar el juego. Falta de respeto. El juego está en perfecto castellano y es distraído pero no es lo que prometieron. Lo peor del juego y la baja nota es por la pésima optimización.

    I love Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but this is not a good game.

    This would have been a decent game in 2010 with regards to animation, graphics, story length, the little to no interface+display customization, bugs and so on. This is like Outer Worlds x Skyrim x ME: Andromeda, only worse in all categories. Anyone with a sane mind will not say this is better in any single way than Andromeda    I love Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but this is not a good game.

This is like Outer Worlds x Skyrim x ME: Andromeda, only worse in all categories. Anyone with a sane mind will not say this is better in any single way than Andromeda which is now 6 years old. Those games appear to be 10 years apart, they almost are, just the wrong way around. Outer Worlds too is like 4-5 years old now, not a single thing in this game beats that, and that game had it fair share of problems.

    Imagine publishing a game they have used this much time on, resources, past achievements, money, huge studio and you forget to add brightness and gamma sliders??
    You forget to add a field of view slider, something games in 2008 had, it would literally take them 5 minutes to implement it and enhance the experience for all players by a lot and those who suffer from motion sickness will actually be able to play.
    You forget that almost all people want to play this in fullscreen with optional DLSS, free to choose HDAO/TXAA/SMAA and hopefully have a game this bad looking above 60 fps on a 4070tix13600k, but thats just too much to ask so we'll keep it windowed borderless running 50 fps and a medium/high/ultra slider instead different methods of anti-aliasing.
    Their most notorious problem is their garbage engines and carry weight / running stamina which makes a game made for hoarding absolute torture. They probably had this problem with FO3 in 2008 and every other game since, how can they not learn?

    Keep in mind that farming ores on planets is useless, you will never use the materials, they will weigh too much to carry, keep in mind that exploring planets is useless, there are close to zero if not zero npcs there and you have to run massive lengths most of the time over encumbered, not able to sprint for more than 3 seconds of the time and maybe you're lucky enough to have a talent in jetpacks with so bad physics it's actually better to leave it behind because of the weight, only to find an empty cave with materials you cant carry or an abandoned base full of loot weighing too much to carry. The combat system is as stiff and broken as Skyrim, FO4, there is nothing different at all. The weapons feel awful, all of the 20+ different I have tried. Oh and the main city looks disgusting.

    I have looked forward to this game for probably 3 years and what I got is an old looking, unpolished, perhaps too vast, empty, soulless, stiff, disappointing intro, tons of too long waiting animations, the wierdest mix of characters I have ever seen, 300 years ahead in time a colony that escaped earth is still talking with indian, african and east asian accents when speaking english which would obviously be the main language for hundreds of years (Hogwarts Legacy all over again), full of bugs, incredibly rough/uneven gameplay, garbage animation and graphics for an incredibly steep price and wait time. This should have been labeled as an Alpha project and cost 20-30 usd at most. It reminds me a lot of Fallout 76 only on a much larger scale and with npcs, sometimes.

    This game is Fallout 4, an 8 year old game only set in space. The flora, fauna and rock/shaders on planets are actually at times worse than FO4, at least there are modders that upscale the textures and fix the mountains of problems there, which we can only hope for in the future here.

    Hm, I wonder what I actually like about it. The dialogue scene close ups with people can be good, the idea of the game in space is good, but that's just in theory. The character customization was decent, some of the armor can look decent, some textures indoors can look good. Those who designed for example the landscape on a planet vs inside a building must be so far apart in talent it's mind boggling.

    Of course Meta Critic gives this game like 8-9-10/10 "incredible space journey, game of the year" though when the community reviews comes out tomorrow I'm sure we're looking at 4-5/10 depending how biased and realistic/optimistic you are.

    Will force myself to try it some more but not really enjoying any of it so far.    … Expand

    Starfield: Disappointment in the Open Cosmos

    Starfield, despite appearing to be a grand game set in an open-world space, conceals within it the corridors of monotony that often detract from the enjoyment.

    One of the primary issues with Starfield is its repetitiveness. The cosmic world you're meant to explore feels perpetually the same. Every mine, every outpost, and indeed, the entire universe seems to be copied and pasted repeatedly. Enemies remain constant, turning each encounter into what feels like a mandatory task rather than an engaging experience.

    As for the story, there's no meaningful connection with factions or character development. Everything revolves around a formulaic scenario where you have to go somewhere, fetch something, kill someone, or shoot something, and you won't encounter anything genuinely new. The RPG element in this game is disappointingly weak, especially when considering the quality achieved in Bethesda's previous titles like Fallout: New Vegas.

    The actual spaceflight, which was supposed to be a major highlight of the game, feels strangely unsatisfying. It's more like a sped-up transit between planets, making it feel more like "fast travel" than actual space exploration. This is a massive missed opportunity for exploring the cosmos and the experiences that could have been associated with traveling between different worlds.

    While you may find various plants and weather on the surface of planets, that's about the only variation the game offers. Interiors are virtually identical. Enemy encounters are monotonous, quickly becoming repetitive and dull.

    Overall, Starfield is a significant letdown. You feel like you've entered an open cosmos, but in reality, you're trapped in the corridors of monotony and subpar design. If you have a choice, you might want to consider other RPG (BG3) because, unfortunately, Starfield doesn't deliver the expected experience, and I would not recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

    Starfield should have been the most open-ended Bethesda game to date. Instead, it is the most limited. There aren't 1000 planets to explore. There is 1 planet to explore, with a dozen or so color schemes to make it a 'new' planet. You can't actually explore the planets, or space, in a meaningful way. The best thing about this game, like so many others lately, was the marketing and hype.

    Loading screens odd, with times way too grand,

    In space, the icons jittered, like a dance out of time,
    Menus were a jigsaw, navigation almost a crime.
    Radiant conversations, companions wouldn’t stall,
    Speaking over quests, could barely comprehend it all.

    Hostile environments, vast and immense,
    Yet, we tread on foot, which makes no sense.
    A flashlight’s meek glimmer, in the cosmos so vast,
    Why land so far away? Oh boy! CO2 is such a blast!
    The dialogue, repetitive, persuasion quite absurd,
    When exiting conversations, just the same old words.

    Power allocations, mostly, seemed like a jest,
    And the combat AI? Really not the best.
    Unresponsive interface, it made quite the mess,
    Targeting wrong ships, causing players distress.

    Yet amidst these flaws, some grace there still stood,
    The item models, and the art, were genuinely good.
    But we'll keep on dreaming, of a space game that's tight,
    Where quests are accepted, not dumped on you outright.

    This is an AAA title for 2014, and I don’t know where to start. You know, thinking about it… take a couple things away and this game’s core gameplay loop would be possible in the 90s.

    Terribly animated faces kills any entertainment from the dialogue, and inspires a feeling of loneliness.
    Horrible enemy AI makes combat stupidly easy, I mean… I’ve actually found myself laughing during some of the combat sequences, perhaps some of the fans of the game will explain it as a planet specific thing where a lack of oxygen is causing the enemies to act more irregularly?

    Basically, the core problem for me is the gameplay loop. It literally feels like a point and click adventure (hence 1999 GOTY). Loading screen, click, loading screen, click, loading screen, maybe walk a little (ooooo! exciting!) oh… loading screen, click, loading screen, walk, dialogue… with ‘tired faces’

    Two things I have enjoyed however, the persuasion system is quite interesting - though I feel the dialogue options don’t really stack well. There could have been more work put in to make the persuasion conversation flow better.

    And the music is good, love the jingle when you level up. But first time I did level up, during combat, I found myself almost embarrassed by the jingle’s attempt to inspire excitement, considering how much I was cringing already.

    Concluding, the game is definitely not worth full price, considering what amazing developments in RPGs we’ve seen in 2023. But as part of the Xbox game pass, give it a shot.    … Expand

    AI companions are running in front of your line of fire continously, if you leave your cover to shoot, they jump to the spot, so you cant get back under cover again. They push you or block you and the urge to kill them becomes stronger with the minute. Enemies so far are either white or red copies of yourself and bullet sponges, compensating for the weak Ai.

    Somehow the feeling just doesn't come across. And another 10 hours playing like "then it really gets better", I somehow don't see that coming. The game lacks what made Skyrim so great for me, namely a game world with its own soul. And it hurts me to write this, because I've always been a huge Bethesda fan.    … Expand

    In Skyrim and Fallout you had dramatic introductions ... emerging from that cave after escaping a dragon, emerging from the sewers after the assassination of the Emperor, emerging from vault 101 after the escape of your father.

Not so in Starfield, there is no emergence or anything with soul, there is no "Oh, wow" moment and that shallowness continues throughout the entire game ... of which I have 70 hours played.

    The quests are bland, the dialogue is just horrible. The music is average at best. There's a certain lack of "deus" in the machine. It doesn't grab you, it isn't warm, it's distant and remote. Plodding and boring. Key elements such as settlement building have no real purpose and are obtuse and difficult.

    Gameplay is an endless series of loading screens. You may experience regular CTD and other issues unless you lock your FPS to 60.

    On top of this the game has been styled from the bottom up to be a showcase of modern social justice pieties. From the composition of the populations to the fact that 85% or more of dialogue is going to be with women. Sometimes it's like the game has been set at a baby shower that never ends. Already the champions of that movement are declaring the success of the game as a success for their movement, disproving the claims of their opponents that you lose money if you adopt their creed.

    So you have a game that might have been a 7 on its own merits dragged further down by the obnoxious adoption of a faddish political movement, which constitutes a non-stop distraction and irritation.

    Second thing is the graphics, this was proclaimed true next-gen title well the graphics sure as hell don't reflect that, it's not terrible but it's nothing special either they also didn't add very good textures no doubt so that the game would run on **** xbox series s which has lower amount of V-RAM, just look no further than water quality or reflections.

    Third thing is the Performance and this is where i would score this game a big fat zero. In New Atlantis in 1440p native/ultra(shadows high) i got 60-70fps on 13600K/RTX 4080..... i can get this much in Hogwarts Legacy or Witcher 3/Cyberpunk with RAY TRACING ULTRA. This game has no explanation for such demanding hardware it doesn't use RT / Lumen / Nanite or Unreal Engine 5 while we're at it this game is made on ancient Creation engine which is no doubt the root cause of bad performance and lacking graphics quality. The only good thing about performance is that it's not stuttering and running a flat frametime.

    As if all this is not enough the game lacks actual options which are critical for PC: NO FOV , NO Gamma Setting, No HDR even though it exists on xbox (it's terrible implementation even so...), NO DLSS even though it took me 20 min to enable it via mod wtf? This is 70$ game why the hell must i correct the devs laziness or stupid AMD under table deals ????

    The promised open-world exploration falls short of expectations, and the generated environments lack depth and character. Moons and planets within the game serve essentially the same purpose, featuring reused missions and assets. Had this game been released years ago alongside titles like Skyrim and Fallout, it might have found its place among the cookie-cutter RPGs of that era.

    As for RPG style, choices and graphics.... this is a 0 out of 10. Graphics (environment), NPC faces, animations, etc are absolutely last gen or worse. Think Xbox360 at worst and bad Xbox One at best. Textures on people, ships and building can look really good. Just don't expect the foliage or people to look that way. Don't get me started on the constant loading for everything you do.
    Any choices you think you have, think again. NO choices affect anything. Your skill choices and your actual actions that you think may affect dialogues or quests NEVER affect anything. Don't believe me and want proof, search for the MarcoStyle youtuber, as he explains what is happening. I don't have a youtube channel or the time for that. Factor in the insane bugs, think Cyberpunk 2077 release, except we know that that game was released 2 yrs too early and Starfield was given almost an EXTRA year to polish this junk.

    It is suspected that the population explosion will cause the entire universe to be filled with humans, causing serious light pollution.

    Space battles are redundant and boring.

    loading loading more loading, especially when visiting stores and solving quests.

    The main plot...well, that's the main plot of B company.

    The UI and operation are extremely unfriendly to novices.
    (Old players are fine, but new players eat poop? Are you justified?)
    Also crammed a bunch of stuff into the skill that would improve the gameplay experience.

    The AI ​​is unsurprisingly bad.
    Whether it's combat logic or when shopping.
    Hit wooden stakes, halfway through the battle, NPC weapons fly up, and start to flee wildly.
    When you block an NPC , you will see the NPC just keep going on your face.
    There is also the tragic teammate AI as always.

    ****

    Can build, design spaceships (doesn't do much, but makes you feel good about yourself).
    Players who were semi-finished guinea pigs in Fallout 4 can now play the finished product(?
    There is the task network.

    With MOD, there is a chance to wait for player MOD to come out to save the world.
    (It should be more comfortable to play after half a year and a year, and you can wait for a discount by the way)

    ****

    Most of the people who will buy it immediately should be veteran players of B company.
    Are waiting for Fallout and The Elder Scrolls.
    Either it is a must-buy diehard old fan.
    Or maybe I want to see what STARFIELD is like that B company has launched regardless of players’ voices.
    (Maybe there are more space fans because Star Trek and Star War?)

    "personal opinion" it seems... a low-end Fallout with space skin.
    Elder Scrolls satisfies adventures in the wizarding world.
    The background of the Fallout nuclear war is not far from us, which makes people have a deeper sense of substitution.
    STARFIELD'S SPACE SETTING...
    Well, I don't know how many people look forward to adventures in space.
    But I know STARFIELD's "space" adventures fail.
    Basically, it's loading,loading and loading.
    Otherwise, it is floating in the starry sky with textures.
    Bring out the speed and acceleration special effects to make you feel that the map is very big.
    These "future" weapons aren't too futuristic either.

    The game itself is of high quality and fun.
    Old fans may be able to accept old IP doing like this. But the new IP personally feels that it is not up to the mark. There must be a bunch of new players who can't eat it. The most basic UI and operation are confusing. It even requires players to find a MOD to save them. It can only be said that newcomers to B company's games should be cautious. If you don't plan to play MOD. Spend dozens of hours installing two or three hundred MODs one by one to study the order and conflicts of MODs. Then what you are playing with others is not same game.    … Expand

    Technical the worst AAA game i have seen in the last 10 years and this with an enormous high price. Not recommended before you have a NVidia RTX 6090 and a quantum SSD in your PC in some years.

    enter your ship - > loading screen , Npcs really really out of emotions , story cant be immersive if you just look at clay dolls with moving mouths talking to you. No exploration , all content repetitive . if you just play you will have fun if you pay 10 usd for this game , but not 100 . This is not a AAA game , this is just a game made to sell.

    Overhype very average game. Bethesda is stuck in the past with the same formula aging bad.

    Is this the worst game ever? No, of course not, it might even be decent when compared to other stinkers... but it this a really really bad game considering how long they've been hyping it only to deliver a stale game and the fact that behind Bethesda lies a literal multi-trillion dollar company? Yes... possibly gonna be interesting/slightly decent in some years after many patches and mods,Is this the worst game ever?

    Malheureusement trop de hype, trop d'attente, starfield a 10 ans de retard avec des discutions à dormir debout, des environnement qui ce ressenble tous, il fait rien de super bien vu le budget vu le nombre de personnes concentré sur le devellopement c'est une honte des promesses non tenu et les influenceur qui on bien fait leur job.

    it's fun, but no more than 2-3 hours, there's nothing to do in the game, most of the parts are pretty monotonous, like the NPCs, the graphics are from 2016, the lack of any plot, instead there are rather boring quests, poor optimization even taking into account the big world, by the way world, Todd Howard said that it will be possible to fully explore the planets, but in the game you canit's fun, but no more than 2-3 hours, there's nothing to do in the game, most of the parts are pretty monotonous, like the NPCs, the graphics are from 2016, the lack of any plot, instead there are rather boring quests, poor optimization even taking into account the big world, by the way world, Todd Howard said that it will be possible to fully explore the planets, but in the game you can simply explore pieces of the planets.

    Starfield is a step back from every previous bethesada title (except Fallout 76)

    NPC dont feel alive anymore. They dont have a schedule anymore. The shopkeeper is behind his desk 24/7.

You wont ever see a NPC travelling to another planet or having a drink at the bar, unless its part of a quest. They dont really have a personality, unless they are part of a quest that require them to have one.

    Exploration is useless. Main hub are fine. New Atlantis and Neon are fun to explore, but the thousands of planet advertised are empty. The point of interest on them are bland and re-used. Every "abandonned mine" is the exact same, down to loot container and enemy placement. Not just that look similar, they are exactly the same. I encountered multiple of them, on the same planet. just to fly to another planet and encounter another one.

    Planet survey are boring and repetitive. They dont grant you anything meaningful. You never encounter any quest while going them, Your just running around for 45 minutes searching for the last animal you need to complete it so you can get paid.

    Skill are as bland as they come. No more do you have to use a skill to make it better. You get one skill point every level, put it in whatever you want.

    Random event are repetitive. Every now and then you get hailed by a ship, but they are only a few scenario that can unfold. Before long, you dont even answer because you dont care anymore.

    Gearing is boring. You get 10 type of weapon, most of which is in the balistic category. So just regular gun. There a few laser weapon and explosive, but nothing interesting like mini nuke

    Enemy are repetitive. There are 4 type: Spacer, Pirate, Ecliptic and Robot. The first 3 are the exact same. The alien barely ever play a role. Even the big bad terrormorph are complete pushovers.

    Space is merely a front and serve no real purpose gameplay wise. Dogfight are boring and repetitive, the sense of scale dont exist.

    Starfield feel like an empty box. What you imagine it to be is a lot more fun than what it actually is. It is bland, uninspired, generic and repetitive. I do not recommend to anyone. Specially not to people that played better Bethesda title in the past. Modders might make it a worthwhile investment in a few years because everything need to be improved in this game.

    I gave Fallout 4 6/10 and Fallout 76 2/10 so i decided to give this one 4/10.    … Expand

    Jogo lançando a base da mentira, Marketing absurdo, falaram que o game ia ser um jogo "Revolucionario" e entregam isso. Sinceramente, esse jogo seria bom se fosse lançando em 2017

    Not sure how Bethesda managed to make discovering the universe so lifeless and monotonous, but most of the exploring plays out like this:

    enter your ship - > loading screen -> sit at console and "take off" -> loading screen -> choose new planet -> loading screen -> select landing site on planet -> loading screen -> exit ship -> loading screen -> "explore" procedurally generated planet (kill a few bugs and scan some plants/rocks) -> fast travel back to ship -> loading screen -> go back to step one

    . . . sure, you can skip a few of these steps by traveling directly to another planet thousands of light-years away without even entering your ship - but at that point, why do the planets and galaxy systems even exist if they are simply options in a menu?

    I've played over 300 hours of Fallout 76 because I love the Fallout universe so much, but Starfield just feels so sterile and devoid of the same heart and character that is so present in their other universes. I can even usually ignore the Bethesda "jank" that often accompanies the launch of their games - but something about Starfield's core mechanics seem inherently flawed as well, and I'm not sure I could even explain why. Whether it was the underdeveloped enemy A.I., the poorly designed base building (a giant material storage container can only hold 150 lbs of items, while the safebox in my bedroom can hold infinite), the emotionless (and ugly) character models, the lackluster main story quests, or just the general lack of adventure - Starfield ultimately proves to be an underwhelming RPG that fails to deliver on most of the promises Todd Howard and the marketing team pushed.

    That is not to say that there's nothing good here, the weapon design and shooting mechanics are a vast improvement over their past games, the ship-building is very intuitive, and the scenic landscapes of distant planets and galaxies can be absolutely gorgeous! I just wish I had more of a reason to explore them . . .    … Expand

    Bethesda... Bethesda never changes. Game as is in its state is just bad game for 2023. It is old engine, old way of making game, outdated and bland. Starfield is ultimate sandbox, because it is empty, waiting for mods to fill it up. You cannot review for what it might be, but review it as it is.

    There's a lot of flaws in space in Starfield. But that does not prevent me from exploring our galaxy again and again.

    I fell in love with Starfield. It's my cup of sci-fi and I can't wait to spend the next thirty, fifty, maybe seventy hours here. I enjoy the exploration, the shootouts, the art style, the ship building, and the diverse worlds. I gratefully acknowledge the good optimization and the absence of major bugs. But I can't overlook the flaws. There are bad animations, ugly faces and repetitive moments.[Issue#329]

    In a year dominated by sequels to franchise favorites, there was a hope that Starfield would carve its own path to success. While the team at Bethesda should be commended for taking such a big swing, there’s no denying that the game doesn’t feel like a cohesive work. Maybe continued support and future sequels will make something more meaningful out of a work that is clearly deeply enamored with both science fiction and space exploration. Unforunately, this first launch has had far more mixed results than desired.
