    Нет русского языка. Я не могу нормально поиграть в игру в которой нет русского языка!

    There is no Russian language. I can't normally play a game that doesn't have Russian!

    A huge game with loads of great factions and quests. Loads to do with ship upgrades, crafting, and outposts. 50 hours in and have not even scratched the surface of what is on offer. The few downsides are a lack of local maps making finding locations difficult at times and a basic container sorting system.

    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.

    One of the Best game I have ever played. Starfield might start slow but it’ll hook you to the game for hours and hours and sometimes days together. It’s so difficult to stop playing and go to work.

    The game is just good, nothing revolutionary. Yes, it has some new mechanics like flying into space, but the realization of space travel and space battles leaves much to be desired.

Optimization as I think could be better, graphics sometimes gives beautiful landscapes, but not so much to squeeze out of the top graphics cards all the power. From the good except that more or less pleasant shooting and some quests are not bad, well and in the end the game is monumental, I think in the game you can spend a lot of time. Expand

    Пока многие ещё с момента анонса кричали о том что это будет разрыв индустрии!  который не ведом был игрокам в рамках ААА игр.
    Ведь игру делает никто иной а великий! Тодд Говард и теперь ему в этом поможет Филарет ведь у мелкософт чит на деньги. Я так и знал что выйдет типичное беседко хрючево, на искалеченном временем движке Морровинда 2001 года.
    И по итогу это будет типичный скелет-заготовка для модов.
    Но посмотрев что по факту из себя представляет данное поделие, пришел к выводу что этому убожеству даже куча модов не помогут.
    Чтоб выкатить такое УГ, надо было очень сильно постараться!
    анимации редкостное дерьмо, ИИ тупой, импакта нет, ганплей тоже вышел за дверь, локализации на русский нет мир пластмассовый и дубовый.
    Один чёс маргетинговый Фила и Тодда со всех щелей, одни заявления Тодда про то что это Некст Ген игра чего стоят, не считая остальных заявлений клоунов из беседки.
    диалоги плоское уг, сюжет туда же.
    Куча пустых планет с камнями и контентом ctrl+c ctrl+v оптимизации нет, ещё и куча багов.
    Учитывая что мелкософт это некий говномидас в индустрии, то не удивительно что на выходе будут выходить такие кривые помои как Старфилд пополняя ряды Redfall.

    It's the most underwhelming game I've played since "Redfall" (another Bethesda disaster). You can like whatever you want but the combat (space and ground) is generic AF, it's chocked full of loading screens, and the menus are clunky. That's not even getting into all the technical issues (past having no working HDR10 support on PC at launch in 2023).

    What did I got at the end?
    Just your typical Bethesda game, nothing really special about it.
    2023 was full of Mindblowing Games and then comes this game around which is literally Skyrim/Fallout but Space.
    I don’t want to compare this game with No Mans Sky, BUT NMS makes so much right which this game doesn’t, that is a real bummer after all that hype from all those people, now i know I should never get hyped up from others who don’t know anything about the game and more specific not hyping up a Bethesda game since (except for Doom) are pretty much just the exact same but with a different style. It’s probably safe to say that ES6 will also be literally just Skyrim 2.
    Don’t get me wrong, Starfield is okay to play but it’s just that: Okay.
    I felt nothing, especially since most characters look hella weird, most planets not only lifeless but also quite bad looking, outposts/Mines etc. start to repeat after some time even with the exact same enemy positioning.
    After such a huge year with so many bangers, this game is quite disappointing, if it would have came out in 2021/2022 it would have received probably better.
    Only good thing I can say about it is the Ship customization, that is really a great thing they did, sadly tho it’s not enough to give me the feeling of an insane game when everything else feels so short and flat.
    And I’m not one of those who care for 60 or 30 FPS as long the game is awesome (like tears of the kingdom) but those amount of menus and loading screen are a complete immersion breaker for a „the galaxy is yours“ type of game

    Starfield is Bethesda's Magnum Opus.
    A true masterclass in RPGs, Starfield offers the largest game world I have ever experienced, with interesting sights and activities around every corner.

    Starfield has cemented itself firmly in my list of top five games of all time!

    This game is not a 10/10… it is also not a 0/10.

The NPCs that are main characters look amazing…. But 97% of them (random townies) look like ps3 models. The game is incredibly boring and follows very close to the “skyfall” formula ultimately resulting in a game that feels as old as its predecessors. If you haven’t played Skyrim or Fallout in the last 10 years sure knock yourself out. But for the OG’s this one feels stale and at times totally half baked. Don’t get me started on the atrocious enemy AI. I feel like I can stand in a wide open space with no cover and just shoot until everyone’s dead. Not to say everything here is just bad… it’s just seems even the things done right are just barely so. You know it’s bad when 10 hours in I thought to myself…”why aren’t I just playing heavily modded Skyrim?” 6/10

    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?"

    Game about space without space and planets.
    Creation engine 3 = creation engine 2 with lags on 3080.
    Loading near every door, like in Skyrim or Morrowind.
    The dumbest NPCs I've ever seen.
    The most disrespectful treatment of fans I've ever seen.

    Unfortunately the Starfield we got is underwhelming and not what was promised by Bethesda.

    It runs like crap, even on high end hardware and the copy / paste of game elements across planets means it gets boring very fast. It's not worth the $120 AUD they're asking for the base version, let alone the $170 AUD they're asking for the premium edition. Give them 12 - 18 months to fix

    Give them 12 - 18 months to fix the bugs and modders to fix the rest of the game and it might be worth picking up for $20 on sale by that point

    The good:
    - Graphics are pretty good, except for some of the facial animations that look like they came from the 11-year-old Skyrim.
    - Music is great - Main story is fine, not revolutionary, but holds your interest. - Ship customization is fun - Actually, pretty bug free for a Bethesda game The bad: - Exploration outside of the main quest is virtually pointless. - Far too many

    - Enemy AI is as bad as Fallout 4

    Conclusion:
    Not the worst game ever, but not groundbreaking either. I personally would wait about a year until the modding community fixes and adds in all the missing features and makes exploration worthwhile. Then it might bump up to an 8/10 or 9/10 game

    Me sorprendio lo basto del mundo, aunque los viajes estelares dejan un poco que desear, me esta fascinando tanta locura que pasa en el juego, vale completamente la pena perderse en lo basto de su universo.

    Excelente juego, aunq no es perfecto, es un buen exponente de Bethesda, yo le pondría un 9 pero con tanta gente haciendo mala campaña, sin siquiera haberlo jugado aporto con un punto mas.

    Queria entender o povo que odeia Starfield apenas por ser do Xbox. Fazia tempo que um jogo não me prendia assim (olha que mal joguei Fallout e The Elder Scrolls). Os 30 FPS está bem suave até mesmo em PCs, não atrapalha a jogabilidade. Tudo que foi mostrado no Starfield Direct, tem no jogo.

    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.
