Mas mesmo com isso o jogo não esta livre dos inumeros problemas que carrega. Esse jogo foi a maior propaganda enganosa, se viu a promessa que foi feita e espera um red dead 2 no espaço ou GTA V saiba que Starfield não é nem metade dos 2. O jogo está totalmente mal projetado, os bugs fazem a Ubisoft se sentir mais aliviada perto de Starfield, esquece fisica nesse jogo que não existe, não existe planetas que possa se dizer ''realista'' todos os planetas a gravidade é igual, voce pode ja viu imagens de astronautas na lua, acha que vai pisar na lua e andar devagar, pulando lentamente certo? Errouu...pois voce corre na lua como se estivesse na terra mas pula tão alto que nem na lua voce pula igual, isso é a mesma coisa com os demais planetas, não tem uma diferença fisica de gravidade, todos voce corre muito com uma roupa pesada e consegue pular uns 3 metros de altura fácil. Fisica no cenário? esquece..não existe interação nenhuma com o cenário , máximo ai explode uns botijões, nao vai quebrar vidros, riscar as coisas ,a agua é zero efeitos, nem pegadas tem e os NPCs todos bugados, voce vai notar facilmente como faltou capricho nessa parte, se bobear o jogo tem uns 6 Npcs iguais e depois o computador gera eles aleatoriamente com roupa ou cabelos aleatórios, mas vai encontrar muitos rostos iguais, lembra como era no The Witcher 3? então só que pior. A famosa IA do jogo, a essa é a coisa que mais vai te irritar pois é o que mais faz perder a vontade de jogar, os combates são muito porcos, mesmo que o jogo tenha 3 opções de camera, 1º pessoa e 3ª pessoa mais perto e mais longe voce vai ser obrigado a jogar em 1ª pois não é gostoso de jogar como dead space ou resident evil , voce vai ficar muito irritado com o combate nessa 3ª pessoa. A exploração é mediocre, esquece a promessa de 1000 planetas ou explorar as coisas, a exploração é tão basica como qualquer jogo de 2006. Sabe o que é pior, o jogo levou tanto tempo para ser feito, uns 8 anos para entregar isso e a Bethesda nem se quer vai perder tempo arrumando quem vai arrumar são os mods. Pagar caro no jogo para depender de mods arrumarem. Não gaste seu dinheiro nesse jogo porco, a maioria que está apoiando são fanboys de empresa ou receberam o jogo de graça, se voce não é nenhum desses 2 economize dinheiro. Expand

Useless customization (your ship is the most customizable loading screen ever made, you flick it to see it land in the loading screens and that's it). The WHOLE campaign is presented to you in static dialogues and poorly acted by NPCs that spoil the entire game experience, there is not ONE cutscene. The game is not intuitive and doesn't even try to be (there is no map of anything in the cities or on the planets, you just don't get completely lost in the main missions that are marked on the screen, besides, buy a little pad and draw in your hand where the things). Immersion spoiled by infinite loading black screens that cut the game at all times (and you can put it on the NVME M2 which is no use, there will be loading cutting the game in everything you do). Ridiculous performance on 20k PCs on any video card and processor, not justifying frame drops and bugs at all (on consoles I won't even comment, the worst port). Exploration of planets in MENUS, because there is no content inside them, in fact, the game is not even an open world, it only carries one of the three possible areas to play with invisible walls, empty places and with many other problems and there is ANY reason to if you go back to any planet again, just ONE time there for 3 minutes and you have NOTHING to do there anymore. I played 5 hours on PC and gave up, no way. Another unfulfilled advertisement for another game made on thighs. Everything the game does, it does so mediocre and uninspired. Mass Effect destroys it in the narrative, shooting gameplay and characters, just as No Mans Sky swallows it in exploration and world generation, there is no way to pass the cloth for that and I will not pretend to think the game is good, because M$ does not Pay me nothing to be her lawyer. Ridiculous, yet another flop sold as "revolutionary"....BOTTOM LINE: Starfield tries to take a little bit of every space game that has ever been made, but pulls it all together with no inspiration, and does so largely in a mediocre, empty, and pointless way. soul. It's not Skyrim, it's not Fallout, it's not Mass Effect, it's not No Mans Sky, Starfield seems just a generic game inspired by these others and advertised as an A trill, failing in its unreached grandeur!

    Well if you spected No Man Sky 2 this it's not your game. If you wanted a fluid game without loading times escenes in each time you reach a planet city house door. This is not your game. If you don't like mechanics of Bethesda that is on Fallout . Neither. It's a game specifically for gamers who like space issues but not offering that Sci fi like interstellar. For all of that makes that game bad.

    The graphics are appalling; it looks worse than games that came out over a decade ago. Sometimes the textures look good, but other times they pixelate, making it look worse than Far Cry from 2004.

    The optimization is tragic; I've never seen a game perform so poorly. Sometimes I get 10 fps, sometimes 40, it's random. It doesn't matter whether it's in the city or the wilderness.

    Loading screens are everywhere:

    Enter a building / loading screen
    Board a ship / loading screen
    Change floors in a building or ship / loading screen
    Travel to another planet / 3 loading screens
    There's no space exploration; discovering other planets and star systems involves teleporting by clicking the 'x' button and watching a loading screen. The space itself is only used for short battles.

    The AI of enemies is terrible, and the combat isn't challenging. The Witcher 2, which came out in 2011, has better facial animations and character looks and costs only 2 euros.

    I won't even get into the list of bugs and glitches, texture loading issues, etc.

The dialogues options are so blend and the characters so not convincing, graphics are inequals, loading screens in 2023...No maps, over 1k planets but nothing to do (they rely on their modding community to do all the work in that department). NO FKIN AMMUNITIONS. no meaningful choices. The whole game is boring and the inventory is the worst. The game consists in : go to my ship through the same animation, loading screen then select a system another loading screen and animation, then select a planet, same loading and animation, then select a landing zone (generally two or three if you're lucky but you won't have any chance to enter atmosphere manually its all animated) so its a fake exploration, you can even not spend anytime into space and just fast travelling. Lots of bugs contrary to what has been said. Persuasion system is basic, RPG components are basics. Character creation is ok. NPC display the same behavior since Oblivion that has been subject of constant mockery but doesnt seem to bother Bethesda since decades, nothing is explained on the game but its not like if it was Elden Ring as in meant to be opaque because you have to discover for yourself and that it is rewarding, here its just lazy and confusing. The ammunition system is a joke i can'"t even play with the weapons i'd like because i never have ammunition for it. New Atlantis is UGLY as f. I heard the game get good after 15 hours lol which is never a good sign and even then it got slightly better it still was a major disappointment to me. Expand

    -speaking of creepy, gets us to the animations, you talk to sarah and her crew and any remaining bit of immersion is broken by a robot staring at you which is the main character, like at least put some effort in making her facial expressions, and you have the resources goddamit
    - the screen zooming in dialogue on the characters face which is an oblivion 2006 mechanic amplifies the last point by forcing you to stare into the bozo robot npc staring into your soul
    - the game requirements are demanding somehow yet the graphics are worse than these games i played this year: hogwarts legacy, rdr2, spiderman remastered. 3 open worlds i played this year not to meantion all the linear games. runs much worse than all of them while looking worse. just pain.

    Starfield's story begins out of nowhere, too fast to make sense of our chosen character's path or his role before he finds the artifact.

This is a pacing issue – to move that fast mind has to speed up first, there should be a valid ground and motivation. But whatever we select, barely provides any difference and we are flooded with new status outcomes and have only one way – accept the offer to fly to our "new friends".

    Then all these loading screens: it's flow, it got broken every minute or two. Space lives in a different world, land lives in another, quests are mostly unrelated to anything and battles are there mostly to grind some resources (because weapons don't have any impact on enemies, except damage numbers).

    And visually it's somehow not as good as games from the 2014-2016 era, even huge open-world games all with better reflections, proper lighting, better skin and hair shaders, and consistent color balance (instead of washed-out blacks and overlit whites).

    And I don't blame Creation Engine, the interiors, and dark areas are exceptionally good-looking. They could at least achieve some proper color correction for SDR and HDR, and as you may've seen in Atlantis, they washed out the image instead.

    Combine it with 40FPS in big cities (on RTX 3000 with FSR!) and you'll understand what feels off for many players here. Several folks saying it's GOTY are probably been in cryostasis for the last 15-20 years.

"Exploring" barren, copy/paste environments gets repetitive quickly. The uninteresting main story starts out absurd and then devolves into a series of boring fetch quests. The characters have all the charisma of deep-fried roadkill. Most NPCs are bug-eyed Lovecraftian horrors with claymation face designs and animations straight out of TES: Oblivion. Despite what critics are saying, the game isn't polished. I experienced numerous bugs of varying severity including a quest-breaker in just the first 12 hours.

    On a more positive note, the gunplay is the best of BGS's games but that's not saying much. You can also get Adam Jensen as a companion which is kind of cool.

    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.
