    This is among the best I've ever seen. I was just the other day out flying around. And landing on an distant planet. OMG There was a tropical climate and the resort Paradisio. I couldn't dream about something in the closest to this. Just love the game

    Tras 80 horas de juego desde el early access, Starfield no es un mal juego. Tampoco es excelente; dicho de otra manera, es un juego entretenido, a ratos, pero del montón.

La mayoría planetas genéricos y vacíos de mimo, cuya exploración termina resultando monótona. Respecto a    Tras 80 horas de juego desde el early access, Starfield no es un mal juego.

    Como rpg, cumple. Variedad de interacciones, conversaciones, contenidos, ... Y si, 1000 planetas, como lo lees. La mayoría planetas genéricos y vacíos de mimo, cuya exploración termina resultando monótona. Respecto a la exploración espacial, cuasi inexistente. No esperes una exploración como la que aportó Skyrim o Fallout 3. Los planetas son escenarios reducidos, no un mundo abierto; llamalo si quieres semiabierto.

    La IA es de las peores que se ha visto quizás en los últimos 10 años. El rendimiento en PC brilla por su ausencia si es que han intentado optimizar aunque sea un poco. La decisión de no poner DLSS 3 y FG se puede considerar tanto objetivamente como subjetivamente un flaco favor de la compañia hacia no solo hacía una parte de la comunidad de PC si no hacia su propio título. Y qué decir de los bugs y crasheos; algunos graciosos (bugs) pero otros no tantos. Eso sí, comparado a Skyrim de salida, pocos me parecen. Respesto a las físicas, más de lo mismo. LLevan estancados hace dos generaciones. Los gráficas tienen sus luces y sombras; es decir, no están mal, pero no son nada espectalures.

    Hay que empezar a darse cuenta que quizás algunos estudios ya no son lo que fueron en su momento. Quizás espabilen y den un salto técnico que pueda estar a la altura de esta época. Es una pena por lo que pudisese haber sido este título.

    ¿Es este la obra magna de Bethesda? Bajo mi humilde opinión, ni se acerca. En resumen, juego entretenido que ha pecado de ambicioso, de seguir sujeto a un motor que se cae a pedazos y malas decisiones. En PC cabe destacar la nula optimización del título.

    Si te gusta el género, lo puedes encontrar atractivo. Eso si, no recomiendo su precio completo. Espera a una buena rebaja o gamepass.    … Expand

    I did not get spoiled by anything, did not read any hype review, I just wanted to play a good new Bethesda game - since they are so proud of the fact it's the first truly new IP in 25 years, I hoped they'd really deliver on it... since I started playing their games with Morrowind, I had some hopes they'd make it. Sadly they did not.

Sadly they did not.

    TL;DR:
    They did a Fallout 76 on their "Space Skyrim" - OR: The Space Skyrim that never was. If you are a fan of Sci-Fi and "Open World" - which works in the strongest sense of the word in this game since the vastness the game simulates is humongous... however it feels almost like an empty shell when you get to explore. Much like No Man's Sky, it only gives the impression of being big and exciting, with great variations. The systems are a chore - even worse than Oblivions "use a Skill 100 times to advance in level" system, this game makes you work for even being able to Sneak, Lockpick and steer bigger space ships. It would all be acceptable if the grind wasn't that downright dull, if the Characters you meet in your first stretch of the journey weren't that kind of empty and one-dimensional-feeling and the Ship / Space mechanics weren't that "Elite Dangerous" kind of level.

    This way, you get the worst out of 3 genres and all mashed into one humongous - albeit good-looking on Xbox X, game - on PC better prepare to have a huge graphics card budet that'd buy you two Xbox Series X likely and a year of Game Pass. Maybe that's what Microsoft/Beth wanted? Sell those Xboxes... it might work initially but boy, when the people get to playing this they just might be regretting that decision.

    Bethesda seem to really love their "random number generator" engine - it drove many of their Elder Scrolls and the new Fallouts to new heights - but back then these games had a Soul infused in form of a major storyline, exciting characters to meet all across the Wastes or the vast action-filled mysterious world of Tamriel.

    If they have the "whole of eternity" to work with, it seems the previous ingenuity of Bethesda seems to get dulled and stretched too far. This game has an inkling of the brilliance that was the first 5 hours of most any Elder Scrolls Game or Fallouts 3, New Vegas and 4 - but once the vacuum of Space sucks at your brain when you realize the first 5 hours of this Megahyped Game do not reach the old heights but are a downright borefest it's a bit sad.    … Expand

    In a futuristic world where the wheel and mobile phones were never invented, you will click to travel instantly halfway across the galaxy. You will climb into your cockpit once, maybe twice, before learning that you can simply click and go! Except if you are docked.

You will climb into your cockpit once, maybe twice, before learning that you can simply click and go! Except if you are docked.

    Yes, you can travel from the middle of the wilderness of one planet to the landing zone on another planet with just a flick of the wrist and a twitch of the index finger, but if you are docked to some space station forget it!

    You are a nobody, a lowly newb miner with a possibly interesting background that has nothing to do with mining, but for “reasons” you will be sent to retrieve a mysterious artefact that displays “gravitational anomalies”, y’know, like in Star Trek. You will have a cinematic.

    A man turns up to gift you his ship and take your place in the mine. He too has had a cinematic, and so he knows all about the mysterious gravity things. You will ask yourself, “If this guy knew I was going to have a cinematic, wouldn’t it have been polite for him to say something about that before letting me have my pixels rearranged?”

    His chums in the secret society will give you a room in their hidden base, which is cleverly disguised as a base in plain sight. They will chat to you as if you’ve always been there, and send you on missions to find more of the weird artefacts.

    Funnily enough, although they are a society of explorers it appears they have done precisely no exploring, leaving that onerous task to you, the hero.

    So, you will discover strange alien sites featuring gravitational anomalies. You will discover them many times. You will explore the full extent of the procedurally generated tile that magically appears around you. Mysteriously, the caves and bases you find on all these many, many, many, many planets and moons will all be made of the same stuff, right down to the tea trays, pens and toilet paper.

    You will find innumerable weapons and suits and helmets and medpacks and resources and junk, and you will click and click and click on your many and varied storage places. There’s storage on you, in your companion, in another companion, in your locker on your ship, in the cargo hold on that ship, in the cargo hold on another ship - so many places to lose your loot!

    You will get powers you remember from Skyrim, and pretend they are new.

    The map will be a field of dots showing no detail. Even the cities will be mapless. You will remember that the mobile phone hasn’t been invented, so obviously no maps! And no taxis or bicycles, because the wheel isn't a thing. Just a train that never moves until propelled sideways by cut scene.

    You will enjoy loading screens. Many times.

    You will shoot the same bad guys. Many times.

    You will shoot or avoid the same weird creatures. Many times.

    You will scan bushes and trees. Many times.

    You will have epic space battles. A couple of times.

    You will hardly role play at all. Unless you start rolling dice IRL.

    NPCs will ignore any behaviour you care to engage in, but they will look at you sideways no matter what you do.

    There are cities. Or are they towns? At least one of them is just a town. OK, one of them is definitely a city. It has skyscrapers and everything. Markers will appear amongst those skyscrapers, leading you believe your quest lies above your head, but the only thing that lies is the quest marker.

    On planets you will see buildings in the distance that your scanner labels “unknown”, despite the fact that they are obviously buildings. But then you remember - no mobile phones = no maps.

    Other “unknown” features will turn out to be wrinkles in the topographies of otherwise largely flat terrains.

    The vast universe will be yours to explore, and you will never notice that assets and concepts have been repeated almost infinitely. You will never see the workings of the procedural algorithms, because they are so cleverly done. Except when you do, which will be always.

    You will conclude that the appearance of plenty is better than actual plenty, because you will be happy to be enjoyed so completely by Todd and his investors. You will think of Skyrim and swallow your overdraft, and you will be happy. Yes. Very happy.    … Expand

Porque Bethesda de verdad cree que por lo único que se les critica y sus unico fallos son los bugs, cuando realmente el problema es que se niegan a evolucionar, a actualizarse mejor dicho. Prefieren sacrificar la calidad de sus juegos y el tiempo de desarrollo por comodidad, por no ponerse a estudiar y mirar cómo mejorar o intentar estar cerca del estándar actual.

    - An Outer Worlds (Obsidion - Fallout New Vegas) already offered more decision-making possibilities! Not to mention the titles of other manufacturers
    - Exploring the generated planets will be quite boring

    I can only emphasize positively:

    + Solid soundtrack but not quite as good as Skyrim
    + Good gunplay
    + Beautiful art design
    + Good speakers

    Unfortunately, all elements in the game are only average. If you value story and dialogue, you should resort to the Mass Effect Series or Baldurs Gate 3. There is a better space experience in Everspace 2, Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous.
    No man Sky also offers a lot from Starfield, was only there before and continues to work better.

    After quite a few hours of play, Starfield is completely far from what Xbox sold us. About Performance, it was to be expected, Bethesda Games Studios hasn't given us anything decent since fallout 3. I would not call it a disappointment, because behind the many mistakes that Starfield makes, it is an entertaining game, but far from being the revolution that we were promised.

    The game is not bad, but not good either.

    Baldur's Gate 3, for example, is a whole other world of quality in every way.

    I can't be your Constellation member...

    Starfield system requirements are exaggerated even for today AAA games, despite the game outdated engine.

    Starfield system requirements are exaggerated even for today AAA games, despite the game outdated engine. Starfield is also a great example of how AAA game developers today dont value optimization. While developing this game, they didnt think about anyone with average and above average systems. Until Starfield, I had never seen a game that aggressively imposed such high system requirements.

    You cannot make a successful game by ignoring a player base that makes up a large part of the world. You cant assume that every PC gamer has, or has to have, a RTX 4090/7900 XTX and a system of its caliber. It is unrealistic for game developers to expect every PC gamer to have a high-end system. Because even the graphics your game offers dont match your requirements. There are dozens of games released 10 years ago that look much better than Starfield. Great graphics alone do not make a game good. Graphics are not a priority for every gamer.

    Even if Starfield is the best looking game in the world, it cant be a good game with this optimization and content. I dont want to see games with high graphics on the outside but empty inside. You can impress gamers who dont understand games with just graphics, but games are more than that and real gamers know that. But no game released without optimization in this way has ever been successful.

    Even though there are so many examples and Bethesda had similar problems in their previous games, they never learned a lesson. Not to mention the bugs and glitches, it was already expected to be released this way. Classic Bethesda always makes technically broken games. Bethesda didnt try to make a good and memorable game.

    Their only concern was to make a game that didnt live up to expectations with astronomical requirements in order to make more money for their sponsors, the computer parts manufacturers. They want todays PC gamers to have higher systems so that more next gen games with terrible optimizations can be developed. Otherwise they cant reduce the cost and time of development or sell new graphics cards and CPUs. I dont respect or support these goals of companies.

    There is a lot to criticize about the content of the game, but for me the gameplay is more important and since the game is currently unplayable due to optimization, there is no need to talk about other aspects.
    Bethesda needs to stop using the Creation Engine as soon as possible. We have seen another game that turned into a disaster because of this engine. Bethesda just dont want to see it.

    Starfield will probably be playable after a few years of updates, DLCs and expanded mod support, until then, goodbye...    … Expand

    Starfield is the most Bethesda game to have ever Bethesda game'd. If you are interested in more of the same game that you've been playing since Skyrim with a different coat of paint, then this is the game for you.

    It's honestly very hard to point to anything really good that this game has on offer. An obnoxious encumbrance system that will have you fighting with items from the literal first area you enter, dull space content that consists of "flying around in a big empty box" and pressing one button until you're ready to press another", the same awkward controls and lackluster gunplay we've come to expect from Creation Engine games, with none of the charm of the Fallout or Elder Scrolls universe to fall back on to carry an overall lackluster experience. Oh, and minigames. Cause that's what we want in our RPGs - silly minigames.

    This is not the "game of a generation." This is barely even the game of a week. The only fun in this game is the fun you make for yourself. If that's the sort of experience you're looking for, then so be it, this might be the game for you. But the main thing I can think of when I play is "An elder scrolls game got pushed back years for this garbage?"    … Expand

    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.
