    I was really looking forward to this game! After 10 hours of playing: It felt like a buggy, boring, lifeless, lonely, and restrictive treadmill. Sad. Also, why the cultural/political inserts? Also, why are NPCs so dumb in this the age of ai? Nothing new here.

    For a game people been waiting for since 2018. Its medicore at best. Funny enough I think that NMS did the space game type thing better. For the amount of time this took, and the games that got neglected by bethesda cause this game was priority is funny. This game isn't even optimized the best on pcs running a ryzen 9 and 4090. This is sad.

    man sky becomes a much better game than Starfield.

    The PC optimization is TERRIBLE our lady, a 3060ti with i7-10700K and 16 RAM. For God's sake, how does it run at 30 40 fps?

    Then a guy puts a paid DLSS mod and the game goes to 90 FPS, Bethesda is a mediocre game company getting more and more lazy.    … Expand

    Awful game with bad plot and performance. It’s a shame that Bethesda still makes DLCs to Morrowind and doesn’t progresses at all even after the acquisition by Microsoft.

    corrupt backup.
    Assisted games for children, each place or each thing to do we are guided like kids.
    Space exploration to die of laughter.
    The NPCs are a horror, the dialogues are dated.
    And especially a 0 for blocking the DLSS.

    Games not terrible but I have a 4070ti with 7700x for this game and its still highly unoptimized, its a fast travel, loading screen, cut scene simulator, story is ok so far, I wouldn't pay for it, but its probably the best thing to come to Game Pass so you may as well play it there but I won't be keeping my subscription when it ends.

Be realistic, THERE IS NO OPTIMIZATION. I won't take back this comment/review unless you make huge differences about optimization and 60 fps mode. Indoor areas have different FPS, outdoor spaces have different FPS and the ship itself has completely different FPS. Sick of fps drops and changes.

    Decepcionante es la mejor palabra para describir este titulo, no es para nada lo que se prometió, otro caso "Cyberpunk" mas. Con este juego han intentado abarcar mucho y tocar todos los palos y eso no les ha favorecido, al revés.

Podría haberse llamado The Outer Worlds 2 porque básicamente es lo mismo,    Decepcionante es la mejor palabra para describir este titulo, no es para nada lo que se prometió, otro caso "Cyberpunk" mas.

    El juego es literalmente un Fallout / Elder Scrolls en el espacio digan lo que digan. Podría haberse llamado The Outer Worlds 2 porque básicamente es lo mismo, un RPG ambientado en el espacio.
    Los viajes entre planetas o sistemas solares se hacen a golpe de tecla y cinemáticas a través de un menú ya que no puedes pilotar tu nave ni navegar con ella libremente ya sea en la atmosfera o en el espacio a pesar de que se anunciaba lo contrario, solo en las orbitas de los planetas y de manera limitada, penoso. Tampoco puedes salir de tu nave y flotar por el espacio libremente.
    La IA tanto enemiga como aliada deja mucho que desear, es muy torpe. Los civiles no reaccionan a tus disparos ni ofrecen diálogos.
    Las animaciones faciales siguen siendo de la generación pasada, por no hablar de que la sincronización labial es muy mala, aunque el doblaje y la traducción hay que decir que están muy bien.
    La exploración que nos prometían es decepcionante y literalmente humo. De 1000 planetas que anunciaban solo unos 100 tienen "vida" o cosas que hacer, es decir un 10% y además generados proceduralmente. No solo eso, sino que al aterrizar en una zona se generan puntos de interés alrededor, es decir que esas zonas explorables están instanciadas y además no puedes explorar mas allá porque no hay nada y porque el juego no te deja. Con las orbitas de los planetas pasa lo mismo, están instanciadas y da la sensacion de ser algo artificial.
    Además para visitar los puntos de interés deberás ir andando desde tu nave ya que no existen vehículos terrestres ni tampoco puedes acercarte con tu nave, a estas alturas y que Bethesda no haya sido capaz de implementarlos en ninguno de sus juegos es lamentable.
    Hay pantallas de carga y menús literalmente para todo. Los menús son engorrosos y poco intuitivos.
    Cuando aterrizas en algún punto no existe algo tan básico para guiarte como un mapa local.
    Los gráficos tampoco son para tirar cohetes. No innova en nada ni implementa mecánicas nuevas.
    Todos estos puntos negativos rompen la inmersión, te sacan mucho del juego y de la experiencia.
    Los únicos puntos buenos de este juego son la ambientación, la personalización, los combates, las opciones de dialogo y persuasión, la narrativa y la historia, tanto de la trama principal como de las secundarias.    … Expand

    Mira, para mi Bethesda está atascado en los 2000´s, ya no es solo que usan ese motor que lucha continuamente por respirar y que da continuos fallos de colisión, Bethesda sigue con el mismo esquema de juego pero sin mejorar nada y sin construir nada encima de eso, jugar Starfield es como jugar Fallout 3 o peor. 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. Y como sigan así yo creo que me voy bajando, ya el elder scrolls 6 como que no apetece si siguen en esta dirección otros 20 años más.    … Expand

    Second thing is the graphics, this was proclaimed true next-gen title well the graphics sure as hell don't reflect that, it's not terrible but it's nothing special either they also didn't add very good textures no doubt so that the game would run on **** xbox series s which has lower amount of V-RAM, just look no further than water quality or reflections.

    Third thing is the Performance and this is where i would score this game a big fat zero. In New Atlantis in 1440p native/ultra(shadows high) i got 60-70fps on 13600K/RTX 4080..... i can get this much in Hogwarts Legacy or Witcher 3/Cyberpunk with RAY TRACING ULTRA. This game has no explanation for such demanding hardware it doesn't use RT / Lumen / Nanite or Unreal Engine 5 while we're at it this game is made on ancient Creation engine which is no doubt the root cause of bad performance and lacking graphics quality. The only good thing about performance is that it's not stuttering and running a flat frametime.

    As if all this is not enough the game lacks actual options which are critical for PC: NO FOV , NO Gamma Setting, No HDR even though it exists on xbox (it's terrible implementation even so...), NO DLSS even though it took me 20 min to enable it via mod wtf? This is 70$ game why the hell must i correct the devs laziness or stupid AMD under table deals ????

    Honestly i question the sanity of devs who game such high reviews, Microsoft clearly spent a lot of $ on reviewers to get them on board. Personally the current state of the game is 4/10 for me, simply bad.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
