    Another high bar set by Bethesda, massive RPG with great story, excellent factions and a beautiful galaxy to explore.

    Really beautiful game npc interaction feels very immersive. Lots of systems to learn but very user friendly. Roughly 20 hours in and feel like there's so much more to see.

The game, unfortunately, falls victim to various major issues that could have been mitigated had proper time been devoted to development and testing.

    Firstly, the game is riddled with bugs and glitches that seriously affect the gameplay experience. While it's common for new large-scale games to have some minor issues, the sheer number present is staggering. Not only do characters and objects sporadically clip, but weapons and tools occasionally fail to work, leading to frustrating experiences.

    The vast, open-world design of Starfield seemed promising, but now it feels empty and lifeless. The explorative nature of the game is hampered by repetitive content and a limited number of meaningful interactions. Many planets appear to be mere copy-pastes of each other, with similar textures and layouts creating a monotonous experience.

    Moreover, the storyline is convoluted and underwhelming, leaving players frustrated as they struggle to follow the plot. The narrative is poorly paced and filled with underdeveloped characters that make it hard to feel invested in the story. The dialogues, a key part of any RPG, seem lacking and generic compared to previous Bethesda titles.    … Expand

    The spacial journey is simply turn around the 3 axes staying still in front of a JPEG wallpaper. To travel you can't use the ship, but only the fast travel, in this way you just load another scenery. Story is boring and without a cause you just have to start a journey e kill some pirates. Persuasion minigame is as awful as try to get out from pit with ET! No explanation, no helps, just try 3 or 4 phrases and hope.
    The hype is not motivated, a good game sold as an experience, but perhaps the experience isn't a good one.    … Expand

    The devs were so afraid to upset any of the special audiences, they made the game which is extremely bland, boring and unrealistic, also suited for children despite the M rating.

Okay, I admit defeat.
    The only advantage is the main storyline and rich branch lines, and the others have no advantages at all.
    Sorry, I will never pre-order Bethesda games in the future, unless Bethesda learns from its predecessor Obsidian Studios someday.    … Expand

    If you didn't like Skyrim or Fallout pass on, if you liked those game you're probably already playing it.

    Maybe Starfield is not a perfect game. But it is an Xbox-exclusive game.
    I understand where the hate is coming from. Either you hate the stupid UI, the infinite loading screens, or even the fact that it's an Xbox exclusive.
    But it is the best RPG game that I've played for years.

    I've been waiting for a space RPG of this caliber - or at least what this tried to be. Two things really bug me: (1) Freedom/depth of movement (on ground and in space); and (2) Insertion of identity politics. Regarding the freedom/depth of movement: This doesn't feel as big as it could. It feels more "instanced" than I'm into. Not my cup of tea.

    On top of all of the above, they asked for £86 for the premium and £60 for the standard.

    Bethesda is synonymous with the expectation of a buggy release that is generally fixed by the community and they have fully leaned into it. Pathetic, if they didn't have gamepass they would probably be a dead company.    … Expand

    STARFIELD: Black loading
    Picture starry sky (still too bright).
    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

    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.
