    I can't recommend this game.
    Terrible optimization, doesn't even have a good graphics. Refund! 3060 ti doesn't deserve this.
    Once again thank you Starfield, you taught me "again" No Pre-order

    This took Bethesda 7+ years to make? It seems like in those 10 years they failed to get get new modelers or talent.

The only thing I have liked so far is the lock picking mini game and how persuasion is handled. Other than that I can't believe this is what we waited a 7+ years for and cost 200m+ to make.… Expand

    How can a game that extols the virtues of space exploration, not have the capacity to allow players to take off and land their spacecraft at will, without the use of a cutscene. This is something that No Man's Sky allows and IMO is fundamentally a superior space exploration game as a result.

This is something that No Man's Sky allows and IMO is fundamentally a superior space exploration game as a result. There are many design decisions about the game that cannot be fixed because they are fundamentally baked into the experience. Starfield commits the cardinal sin of making space exploration boring.

    If you want a game about space/planetary exploration, then go play The Outer Wilds. If you want a game with space exploration that focuses on lore and base building, then go play No Man's Sky. And if you were just hankering for a great rpg regardless of the setting then, Baldur's Gate 3 is fantastic.    … Expand

    Il problema caro Todd è che il titolo gira male con le stesse schede con la quale avete realizzato una collaborazione con tanto di versioni a tema.

    l'espace, est un désastre intergalactique à bien des égards. Depuis des années, les fans de jeux de science-fiction attendaient avec impatience le prochain grand titre de Bethesda, mais ce qu'ils ont obtenu est une déception monumentale.

Depuis des années, les fans de jeux de science-fiction attendaient avec impatience le prochain grand titre de Bethesda, mais ce qu'ils ont obtenu est une déception monumentale.

    Tout d'abord, les graphismes de Starfield sont à des années-lumière derrière les normes actuelles. Les environnements manquent cruellement de détails, les textures sont floues et la modélisation des personnages est tout simplement dépassée. On dirait que le jeu aurait pu sortir il y a une décennie, ce qui est inexcusable dans un marché du jeu vidéo aussi compétitif.

    En ce qui concerne l'histoire, Starfield offre une trame narrative insipide et clichée. Vous incarnez un explorateur de l'espace sans personnalité, lancé dans un voyage sans but apparent. Les quêtes se résument généralement à "aller là-bas, tuer ça" ou "ramener ça". Aucune profondeur, aucun enjeu émotionnel, rien pour vous attacher à ce monde insignifiant.

    Le gameplay est une autre déception majeure. Les combats sont lourds, mal équilibrés et manquent de dynamisme. Les mécanismes de tir sont archaïques, donnant l'impression de jouer à un jeu des années 90 plutôt qu'à un titre de nouvelle génération. Les bugs et les problèmes de performance sont également fréquents, ce qui nuit encore plus à l'expérience.

    Enfin, parlons de l'exploration spatiale, qui devrait être le point fort du jeu. Malheureusement, elle est gâchée par une galaxie vide et sans âme. Les planètes se ressemblent toutes, et il n'y a pratiquement aucune activité intéressante à découvrir. L'univers de Starfield est d'une banalité consternante.    … Expand

    For this price I expected something better. The inability to take off and land your ship is something that deserves a red flag.

    Bland main quest with a few intermittent decent side quests. Absolutely soulless inorganic exploration. How do you make a game about exploring the cosmos feel so lifeless and devoid of any intrigue? An absolute nightmare on my laptop(RTX 3060, on SSD with average 20-28 fps at low preset, 50% resolution scale :|)

    Una grande delusione.... Nessuna novità... Rispetto a Fallout sembra un gioco scopiazzato male.
    Noioso, ridondante... Privo di tutorial...
    Quasi impossibile modificare la nave... Nemici sempre uguali... Mappe dei luoghi assenti...
    Sistema di shooting tutt'altro che innovativo.
    Tanti, tanti, tanti errori..... Un fallimento.

    This game developed for X-Box, so nothing revolutional for PC gamers, what a disappointment.. Todd Govard selling this game for 100$ and it’s worth of 30-35$.. For now - it’s a big empty sandbox, not an exiting world what you want to explore like TES:Oblivion or TES:Skyrim

    Unfortunately, they promised too much again and didn't keep it.
    After 40 hours I was through the story and it was just okay.
    Discovering planets and flying in space was just copypaste and irrelevant, unfortunately.

    **** performance, **** generated repeated map assets, "discover and explore" what? the empty wasteland of rocks, NPCs dont care at all about anything You do, "ePiC sTOry" is simply boring af mostly. Don't get me wrong, there are some good things as well. Most of the game is simply just a trash Fallout though. Dev's don't even care. "tHE gAMe is AmAZIng" "NexT gEn" for sure man :DDD

    For the price and promotion made huge disappointment...

    Selling a game at full price with repeated bugs, completely messed-up faces and disastrous lip-sync is not normal.

    Big disappointment, the planets are beautiful, but the fedex quests are not very interesting.

    A feeling of emptiness and filler.

    The optimization is very bad. With a 3060 graphics card, I can't even get a stable 30 fps on low settings. Todd Howard also said to upgrade your computer. As if red dead redemption 2 has quality graphics and they want me to upgrade computer parts.

    The game would be fun, if it didn't crash every other minute. I put in a ticket with bethesda and they said basically they can't do anything go to xbox support. I went to xbox support and they kept just giving me a list of fixes that didn't work. This is the only game that crashes on my console. And my console is only a year old.

It feels like this game was finished in 2019 and then sat on for a few years with a few things added over time. If someone has to invest more then 20+hrs into a game as other gamers have been "preaching" sorry but if a game can't hook you in the first hour either it be story or game play well the game has failed. There is nothing good to say about this game. Over priced for what you get. I paid for the early access played it for 3 Hours and was bored through whole ordeal. Best choice I made was getting it refunded. As for "current day" insertions seemed unnecessary. Don't waste your time or your money. Multi billion dollar company like Bethesda who got burnt by there last few installments should have learned not to do the bare minimum and release a faulty product and expect full price.… 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.
