    Mmmmmmm Sony pony tears are delicious. Also when Spiderman 2 comes out for PS I'll be sure and give it a 0/10 Even though I'm not even going to play it.

    This game is just like any other Bethesda masterpiece so good and it only gets better the more you dive deep into the game, and it's also less buggy than i expected, definitely worth your time

    Mitlerweile 80h in Starfield verbracht und mir macht es immer noch spaß.
    Die Story gefällt mir und das Spiel hat noch sehr viel potential.
    Klar gibt es noch einiges das Verbessert werden sollte, Ressurcenmanagement und der Bau von Außenposten sind noch nicht sol gelungen finde ich aber, das Spiel ist seit 7 Tagen drausen und es läuft und sieht richtig gut aus, können die wenigsten spiele

    Die neben Qwests von den verschidenen Fraktionen sind abwechslungsreich und machen echt laune.
    Erkundung von den Planeten ja da widerholt sich der großteil Hölen verlassenen Stationen die von Piraten besetzt sind aber das war in einem NoMan´s Sky auch nicht anders und das spiel hat mich keine 80h gefesselt auch wenn es ein paar Mechaniken hat die besser sind (Planetenanflug, Außenpostenbau,Ressourcenmanagement) das bekommt Bethesda aber mit der Zeit sicher noch hin und wenn nicht machen es die Modder :)
    Bis dahin vertreibe ich mir die Zeit mit den Endlosvielen Missionen, den schönen Landschaften auf den Planeten und Trinke mit Donna einen Terrachino.

    Russians are again showing their toxicity and inadequacy. The game is great. There are many quests, a huge amount of drops and loot, funny dialogues, interesting mechanics, each weapon feels individual. It’s very frustrating to upgrade your hero in the game.

    Sulle quest primarie non posso esprimere un parere finale perché ne ho fatte solo 5 (praticamente il tutorial) , mentre sulle secondarie specialmente le fazioni solo quella dell'UC vale come se fosse una trama principale scritta benissimo e pena di informazioni

    Sono a 25 ore di gioco e non ho scalfito nemmeno la superficie.
    Sulle quest primarie non posso esprimere un parere finale perché ne ho fatte solo 5 (praticamente il tutorial) , mentre sulle secondarie specialmente le fazioni solo quella dell'UC vale come se fosse una trama principale scritta benissimo e pena di informazioni interessanti sulla lore di gioco e dell'universo creato da bethesda.
    Il gioco vale sia i soldi che costa (se non lo prendete dal pass) e vale anche l'attesa che c'è stata.
    Per quanto riguarda le cose che ho letto sulla pesantezza e sulla cattiva ottimizzazione mi sento di dissentire il gioco gira tranquillamente senza problemi sia sul mio PC in 4K dettagli al massimo (monto un I9-9900KF e una 2080TI) che sulla mia Asus rog ally dove ho fatto la maggior parte delle ore con settaggi medi a 1080p (quindi non capisco chi si lamenta su questo aspetto del gioco).
    Ora parlando dei difetti (perché nulla è esente da difetti) il viaggio rapido..avrei voluto poter girare il cosmo a mio piacimento ma purtroppo la cosa non è possibile e bisogna passare sempre per la mappa stellare e usufruire del viaggio rapido spezzando cosi un po la continuità del gioco.
    Detto ciò Starfield è un ottimo gioco di ruolo immenso pieno di cose da fare e posti da esplorare consigliatissimo a chi cerca un gioco longevo e che sa tenere incollati allo schermo per ore.

    Why I put 10? To counter PS fanboys and anti BGS scums who think that rating Starfield 0 without ever playing it is a good idea. Fck the review bombers.

This game is easily up there with Skyrim for me and I cant wait for DLCs and mods. Hopefully updates fix some of the bugs still present at launch, but they’re not enough to ruin this game for me.

Starfield is not Star Citizen its not No Mans Sky idk why people are making complaints about it not being a copy of those games. It was never advertised to be that.

    Starfield is a bethesda game through and through and space just happens to be the setting the game takes place in.

    Story, Characters, Questing is the main objective of this game. Not ship building. Not walking around random planets. Not all this other dumb crap people are complaining about that was never ever advertised in the game to begin with lol

    Also the reviews from playstation fans in super embarrassing. If u like bethesda games and are familiar with their style then u are going to love this game. If u arent a fan of their style, then this game clearly not for you

    So complaining about that is just embarrassing. Why are people checking things online about stuff they don’t enjoy…I don’t know.

    But what I do know is that this is oblivion/fallout4 in space. Thats the best way to describe it. The quests are well written, good voice acting and engaging. Ur characters combat will become more fulfilling the higher level you get, and once the game starts flowing its one of the most immersive experiences u may have:

    This game is exactly what I expected from Bethesda, it's expansive, detailed and has endless dynamics to explore as you would expect from an RPG.

    Here is a fair review for anyone who comes across this. PC specs: 2060 RTX 6GB VRAM 32GB RAM 3600mhz i5 11th Gen SSD (this game will only run on an SSD.
    People are out of their damm minds with the 1/10 review bombs. Its either not your genre, you're a sad PS5 person, or you have nothing at all better to do other than to try to make people question buying a game you never played.

    Here is a fair review for anyone who comes across this.

    PC specs:
    2060 RTX 6GB VRAM
    32GB RAM 3600mhz
    i5 11th Gen
    SSD (this game will only run on an SSD. If you try an HDD, you're gonna have a bad time)

    I run the game mostly on Medium graphics. I get 30-35FPS from outside environments, 50-60+FPS inside buildings at 2560x1080 resolution at 100% (no scaling). My GPU is under the recommended requirements, and I run it just fine. People with issues that have better equipment are doing something wrong, because this game runs perfectly fine for me other than inside the Astral Lounge in Neon City. I have dipped to 23FPS in there. It has a lot of people inside and I do set my crowd density to high. I have yet to find anything else in 40 hours that bogs down the frame rates like that place does.

    Pros:
    True Bethesda feel if you're familiar with their past Fallout, and Elder Scrolls titles. If you like those, you'll like this.

    If you liked Fallout 4, CyberPunk 2077, Mass Effect, and Outer Worlds then this game is absolutely for you. It is a mashup of all those games combined on the best steroid money can buy.

    Bethesda Game Studio RPGs are huge. They do not release without bugs. This is the least bugged game they have released in over 20 years. I have not seen any NPC, or wall glitches the only issue I have had is it has crashed 3 times in about 40 hours, and at that, my hardware may be to blame. Good luck getting that result out of Fallout 4 even today after 8 years of patching.

    Again it's huge. Many are comparing it to Cyberpunk 2077 as the graphics are not quite as good, however, in comparison CP is tiny. To have a game the magnitude of Starfield certain things must be sacrificed. It took me only a couple months to complete every last main, and side mission with the exception of just a few '?s' left on the map. It will take a solid year to get to the same level of completion in Starfield.

    Cons:
    A couple things I find disappointing. One is looting. Going back to Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Vegas, and 4 every single NPC you kill will have an outfit to loot. And when you loot that outfit it comes off the body leaving a real sense of what you've accomplished. Especially satisfying with big bosses, or an NPC with say Ebony armor. In Starfield not every dead body can be looted as such, and when you do loot an outfit it goes into your inventory, but remains on the body. I always felt like that was an extra level of immersion you had with a BGS game. That is now missing.

    The other is questing. You get a quest to go 'grab' an item from another solar system and bring it back. A lot of times this must be done with a Grav jump, or fast travel. This also lacks in some immersion. You can get a quest on say Mars to grab something in Alpha Centuri that is 4 million light years away. Should be an epic adventure!!!! However its done in 5-10 minutes or so, and there is no sense of the distance you've just traveled. I get it, obviously there is no real fix for that in this type of setting. I don't have a fix, or idea for this, but like I said a round trip of 8 million light years should feel a bit different.

    Overall:
    Overall, unless you really hate this genre of open world game, and are mainly just a COD, or Madden player you're gonna love it. Like the above stated titles it is a wonderful mashup. Again, anyone with performance issues with better equipment that what I stated above your system is the issue, not the game. I absolutely love it, BGS killed it once again, and I see myself playing this for several years to come!!!

    1. The game was never marketed as a Star Citizen-like (or "scam citizen," given the recent controversies). Bethesda has denied this information many times (hello, defamation).

    1. The game was never marketed as a Star Citizen-like (or "scam citizen," given the recent controversies). Bethesda has denied this information many times (hello, defamation).
    2. Bethesda never claimed that spaceship combat would be like Elite Dangerous (another fantasy of pseudo-fans) (P.S.: ED is also struggling, and I say that as someone with thousands of hours in the game and an FC with enough credits to last 3 years without logging in :D).
    3. Comparing Baldur's Gate 3 to Starfield is quite "mad." BG3 is a true role-playing game with card, whereas games like The Elder Scrolls, etc., are not role-playing games in the true sense.
    4. Criticizing the cities is acceptable depending on how you play. However, comparing it to Ubisoft, where the cities are ultimately very simplistic (lots of copy-pasting, etc.), well, that argument is only somewhat valid.
    5. Bad graphics? We must not have played the same game. You claim to be playing on ultra settings and know how to run the game on full ultra? I'm curious about your PC specs because few people can run it properly on full ULTRA.
    6. As for piloting, I would like to point out that there are some tricks, similar to ED, for quickly maneuvering your ship up and down, etc. But if you don't know them, you can't really compare it to Elite Dangerous because you probably haven't done Thargoid combat, PvP, bounty hunting, etc., at all.
    7. Regarding companions, they wear a default suit in HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS, just as you can hide your suit in your inventory in breathable/non-hostile environments. (I get the impression that you haven't actually played the game).
    8. As for your claim of being a "hiker," even though we can't verify this information, and it's an argument from authority, ALL Bethesda games were like this, without a map, even TESO. Does that make them bad games? No. Does your complaint potentially reveal a dependency? Yes.
    9. Resources and skills are a non-issue.
    9a. Resources: You can easily buy them without any problem.
    9b. Skills: In Elite Dangerous (since you like this example), you couldn't directly pilot a Federal Corvette and have it from the start, so ED is also a bad game. It's consistent not to have access to everything right from the beginning.
    9c. Modding weapons/suits: You do research to unlock new crafting methods, etc.
    9d. Ships: Do you need resources to build your ship? No, only credits, which are quickly earned (another proof that you haven't really played the game).
    9e. Outposts: Allow you to automate resource farming, saving you some credits, and are very user-friendly.
    10. Regarding the quests, they have a very interesting background. If we listen to you, three-quarters of the games have terrible missions ^^' (your bias is showing).
    11. Unfortunately, your bias is quite evident.
    12. They never claimed that the game would resemble No Man's Sky, etc. They have denied this many times.

    Stop acting like Peter Molyneux.

    Too much Peter Molyneux here..

The main story is good but the sidequests... they get insane and make u excited for whats next. I only played about 2 mainquests but have been enjoying the the faction quests a lot and you get good rewards for completing them. The gripes with this game are minimal to me, i kinda dont like the fast traveling but i also dont want to sit in a ship for hours traveling to complete a quest. The game runs well on my series S, barely any frame drops, i crash occasionally but im sure a uodate will fix it. The soundtrack to this game is amazing also. I recommend a playthrough if you like looter shooters and 1st person RPG games. Also they should update the AI and some of the physics as they are kinda stale but either way the game is still pretty fun for me.

    One more thing. the overwhelming amount of negative reviews confuses the hell out of me. it seems like people went in expecting a completely different game from the one that was announced and promised. if they wanted what No mans sky offered they should play that one. or star citizen. this is a single-player Bethesda game.

    yes I admit it has many flaws, but if the game is really interesting, it's not a goty or a 10 game but it's a good game, the title offers a lot of space for exploration at the same time between crafting and missions you can waste many hours on it, for sure the optimization isn't perfect, but I remember games like Gollum, Gotham Knights that came out at full price and didn't even work for a while.

    Reading the reviews made me dislike the game, but after that, every time I booted up the game, I found myself having a blast in a through-and-through Bethesda game. Ridiculous expectations from people who don't know Bethesda games are the only reason for mixed reviews.

    Don't expect a vast amount of living planets and some unrealistic No Man's Sky gameplay - no Bethesda went mature.
    Reading the reviews made me dislike the game, but after that, every time I booted up the game, I found myself having a blast in a through-and-through Bethesda game. Ridiculous expectations from people who don't know Bethesda games are the only reason for mixed reviews.

    Don't expect a vast amount of living planets and some unrealistic No Man's Sky gameplay - no Bethesda went mature. Think of Mars, barren, some outposts, filled or abandoned, and the occasional cave. It is almost a believable universe. You build an outpost yourself to mine resources to make money, exactly what will happen in real life when we lower the cost of space travel. Exciting for the scientists, explorers, and businessmen, but not for the common folk except for the dreamy earth-like planets that are (meant to be) scarce.

    The only thing I miss is not-so-necessary on-planet mounts. I would have enjoyed riding around for the sake of peace on the righteously barren and boring worlds, as also confirmed by one of the in-game characters to be a true experience for the explorers, although he mentioned he enjoyed walking the barren planets, just like the game offers.

    The game is extremely familiar to Skyrim where I enjoyed exploring the stories and cities the game had to offer while visiting some interesting cities and doing combat with or against the factions presented to you. And just like with Skyrim, If you enter cities or fast travel, there is a loading screen. I laughed when I met a settler on a civilian outpost who started with "I used to be an explorer just like you, but then.. ah that's a too long story." A great reference to the "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee".

    This game doesn't try to be something it is not, it is a beautiful Bethesda game and that is what I expected.

    If you don't like the space context, and if you do but rather play a planet explorer which is quite unrealistic but entertaining in its own way with vibrant planets, don't hate on Starfield - just play No Man's Sky.

    I wanted the best Bethesda game yet, and a place where I could enjoy the dynamics of our own real complex but sometimes simple universe, and these were wonderfully crafted into my favorite game of all time, STARFIELD.

    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.
