    Un juego con un motor de ps3, con una trama simplona y con la profundidad de una piscina infantil, donde la única innovación es utilizar la escusa del espacio para ocultar los tiempos de carga, tiempos que no entiendo ya que el juego esta lleno de una niebla densa que parece silent hill.
    Una vergüenza que alguien con mas de dos pelos en la cabeza piense que esto puede ser el goty

    Un gioco che sembra vecchio di 10 anni con un IA IMBARAZZANTE, caricamenti continui che spezzano l'esplorazione, un sacco di pianeti VUOTI e con missioni ripetute ed avamposti tutti uguali fra loro..

    The space travel is extremely boring and the ship maneuvering is very clunky. The shooting mechanics are still the same tired, laggy, Killzone-ish movement from Fallout 4.

Let's be honest here, this isn't an open world game at all. You don't feel like you're free to explore because everything is stuck behind multiple loading screens and closed off sections.

    A real shame, especially when it comes to flying the spaceship because they look great, the personalisation and interiors are cool, and the fighting is fun. But that's limited to the emptiness of space.

    A lot of mechanics in the game are also pointless and retract from the experience. The main one being O2/CO2 levels where you can't even run for more than 10 seconds without getting health damage. What's the point of that? That's not fun for anyone.

    Graphically it's a nice game, and there was clearly a lot of time and effort put into the design of objects and the world in general. But the stale gameplay, constant load screens & menus - just don't make it worth it.    … Expand

A game made in a 25 year old engine is more likely what Todd wanted to convey. Anyone remotely interested in the game has probably seen the trailers and/or heard of the state the game was on launch day. And that's just about how much I know about the game. Because I wasn't allowed to play the game by Microsoft. "Your graphics card does not meet the minimal requirements" is the message I get when I try to open the game. On an RTX 3060. Sure, with how badly optimized the game is, my card will probably do 1080p Low 30fps. A subpar experience for sure, but that's no reason to lock a consumer out of the game right? there's people playing it on integrated GPUs on youtube. So my GPU is 100% not at fault. So what's happening here is an intentional denial of service by Microsoft because I haven't updated my Windows.

    Starfield is BGS' most optimized game on launch day yet. Quite the record. And I find that only lasts the players 12-20 hours before the cracks show up in the form of game breaking bugs that ruin hours of progress because an NPC noclipped into space or something of the sort. Remember, that's 12-20 hours where a sizable chunk of your gameplay is running around and watching cutscenes for transitions between planet and space. The physics in this game however is quite the achievement, for BGS. A fraction of the object physics you can smoothly simulate in SF would crash the most community patched version of Skyrim. But then why do we see clips of spaceships spinning like a top in space for no reason? Microsoft was directing a ton of resources into the QC of this game, so the testing done for this game prior to launch probably had the greatest effort put into it in the history of Bethesda Games itself. And yet like a dozen of the initial hours of the game is all they were able to get right.

    I only recently got to play FarCry5 and I realized, that game has a better system for facial expressions than SF. Facial expressions was one of the highlights of the game back when SF was just teased. Every aspect of this game makes it look like it's a decade old. A very fitting era for this game because around this time, Call of Duty Ghosts also locked players out of games for not having 6 GB RAM minimum. That got "cracked" real quick. Whether this will be as well remains to be seen. I for one have removed this from my storage. Good thing I didn't have to pay for this blueballing. But I've found on reddit others who weren't as lucky, and bought the premium version of the game. Thankfully I learned my lesson with beth games a long time ago.    … Expand

If you don't have patience, getting through, say, the first 12 or so hours will be tough, which isn't great considering the main campaign is only 15 hours. Side quests are probably the more enjoyable side of things, but without a good main story, it feels disjointed.

    Best quality are the ships and space combat, I agree that is kinda fun, especially ship customisation, which again is something you'll have to wade through a lot of low-grade content to get to the ships much later in game.

It has many bugs and on Xbox series S and is poorly optimized and takes a long time to load resources, and its stories are simple. It is simply a $1 Dollar game pass game.

    Maybe I was expecting too much of this next-gen exclusive but nothing about it feels next-gen at all. 30 FPS with tons of loading screens It's basically fallout with a space background. Something about empty procedurally generated worlds just doesn't excite me and the lack of vehicles sucks. The space exploration is mostly just combat It's all fast travel and cutscenes.

    Larian's games like Divinity & Baldurs Gate have given us a fresh look at the brilliance of interconnected story threads & rpg mechanics. games like Horizon: FW showed us how phenomenal these worlds can be without loading (draw distance, fidelity, detail, physics). No Mans Sky showed us how space traversal can be immersive & realistic by flying to a planet, entering its atmosphere, landing & climbing out of your ship. what does Starfield show us? what screams "next-gen" about starfield? xbox cant even get it to run faster than 30fps on their series x. sorry, no performance mode in 2023 is a massive fail.

    Bethesda needs to move on & join current gen. we can only hope they leave their creation engine in the dustbin where it belongs for ES6. because this stuff isnt impressing anyone anymore.    … Expand

    The story is flat and wooden. Out of the gates I fail to find any kind of immersion, the voice acting is flat and while the story arc is a fantastic concept it just doesn’t deliver. It tries to do a lot; none of which very well.

    With the exception of my interactions with the Crimson fleet missions were little more than fetch this for loosely related purposes and get that because ‘reasons’. Nothing really ties together very well. Loot is horrendous, nothing seems to be that unique or related to a mission set, items are quite similar; none descript, grey, common.

    Each planet or area feels empty and certain devoid of purpose. You land basically on the same planet each time where the surface, minerals and the animals are slightly different with a view habs containing random gear. It also misses some of the slightly more goofy sides of previous titles; you don’t build a giant robot, or meet a robotic space captain gone rogue or becomes besties with the undead.

    This is a £30 title at best, if you can play it free on game pass do it; except for Baldur’s Gate 3 (which is exceptional) there’s little else going on, but I’d think twice about paying £50-60 for it. Even the free version will leave you disappointed. I’ll leave on a positive note and that is the game does a great job with the way they introduce NG+, sadly I doubt I’ll be taking advantage of it.    … Expand

Unfortunately, this game commits one of the greatest sins any form of entertainment can make, its extremely boring.

    The gun-play is improved from the fallout series but the classic Bethesda exploration and even quest design is just flat out not here. Many main quests early on are just simple fetch quests to generic dungeons that are reused as generic points of interest. My first point of interest I explored outside of quests was re-skinned on a different planet as a main quest dungeon minutes later. How is that acceptable? The faction quests are mostly fun and interesting but the lack of RPG choices in many scenarios is noticeable. Exploring planets is tedious and they feel largely uninspired. The 1,000 planet "selling point" is a huge detriment to the Bethesda formula many of us love due to the inherent downsides of procedural generation. Rarely in this game will you run across a cool new story or dungeon outside of the main quest hubs.

    The perk system is lazy as the "challenges" are not challenges. They are simply just utilizing the skills you just purchased 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 times.

    There are pieces here for a really great game but much of the game, especially early, is a slog and that saddens me given how much time seems to be have been put into this game from the Bethesda team.    … Expand

Todd "The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth Of All Time" Howard's arrogant boasting of spending a $200 million budget on a 500 people team for 25 years of development is yet another blatant lie considering the game doesn't have the sandbox infinite universe that NMS provides, nor the excellent storytelling, character development and narrative content that TOW managed to deliver, not to mention the humor. Hell, Starfield doesn't even have a proper ship-flying mechanic built into the game, considering it's a damn space FPS/RPG.

    The game is constantly cockblocking your immersive experience with loading screens in places where you would not expect to see one since Mass Effect 2 was released in 2010, a testament that Bugfesda doesn't care to update their gaming engine to modern standards and prefers to dump those resources in creating 100 variations of coffee mugs, books and cafeteria trays, or writing and incessant amount of completely pointless NPC dialog lines and an absurd amount of meaningless errands disguised as quests.

    Speaking of technology and its implementation, the game was released without Ray Tracing and DLSS, which took the community 1 day to create a mod for (go figure), with UI animations and interactions capped at 30 FPS on console and 60 FPS on PCs, which the community again took 1 day to increase to 120 FPS. On the UI part, the menus are convoluted and difficult to navigate with a 2-page list of shortcuts that change from one menu screen to the other. The main game UI, even though it is minimalistic and beautiful to look at, is badly designed with everything on the screen having the same white color and no animations. Clearly whoever worked on this, had no idea about color theory, visual perceptions such as depth and contrast detection, and generally how human vision and perception work. They tried to copy the UI of Elite: Dangerous, but again failed, hopefully, someone will create a mod to fix this in the near future.

    Last, but not least: the bugs. There are a lot of bugs: from NPCs flying in the air, to ships ejecting you in the middle of space, to NPCs talking with their back at you, to items disappearing from your inventory, this game has it all. I don't think any amount of additional development could have fixed it, the game could've been released in 2025 and still would've had the same issues. The problem is with internal resource allocation, feature prioritization, and technological innovation and implementation.

    In all honesty, Microsoft cannot save this company no matter how hard they try. The only way to bring Bugfesda on track is to completely reset and restructure them, starting with removing Toad Howard from any decision-making position. Every game he spearheaded in the last decade ended up a complete failure at launch and a blatant cash-grab during its roadmap, which sparked constant controversy and PR backlash.    … Expand

    Animations
    Strange stuttery animation when walking and turning.
    Walking in 1st person is like gliding.
    Too exaggerated running animation.

    Leveldesign
    Levels are so stretched like in an MMORPG.

    Conversations
    Missing the important last sentence on the screen of a conversation with an NPC when answering.
    NPCs in the background talk while i can choose an answer in a conversation, but i can't concentrate on reading while people talk in the background, just shut up NPCs in the background.
    I'm so not interested in listening to all conversation options, the options are so not interesting. Unlike Skyrim, I listened to every single dialogue and enjoyed every second.
    Faction chief of main quest faction (with way too much eye makeup), first makes impression of an emancipated boss, chief of the faction, but as she 5 minutes later becomes companion, she smiles like a clown, ends conversation with "bybye", how unprofessional.

    Mission design
    In the flight tutorial, the assistant talks when it's too hectic. When landed, the assistant sometimes talks too quietly. Letting me miss game content.
    Strange annoying sound bug in early mission.
    As a player we are unwillingly thrown into the main story faction, 5 minutes later we talk with a pirate chief in a pirate base (whyever game the designer designed that the we wants to risk our live for the new faction yet), and we have to choose the conversation "stop to attack our bases"? Since when are we so loyal to the faction?!
    Don't know how to jump to the next destination in space, even if the destination is marked, there is a red text which says i have to activate the gravimotor, but how? I figured it out after experimenting with the engine allocation stuff, but that will be too complicated for most players.

    Reward system
    Reached level 2, still in kind of a tutorial, already found an epic item.

    Environment
    Books cant be read.
    Armour of killed enemies can not be taken.
    Levels of enemies let the game feel like a looter shooter.
    When you arrive at the first colonised world, beautiful at first glance, the first thing you hear from an NPC walking by is "i will soon leave here for good", so thanks for destroying the picture.

    Technique
    Only 30 fps.
    Clunky first person shooting.
    Some too small texts.
    Walking and combat feels clunky like The Outer Worlds.
    Texture pop ups during conversation in main quest, level 3.
    Pause menu gives annoying loud music, sorry but let me pause to take a call or talk to my wife, just shut up, I have to mute the TV.

    Fanservice
    Missing Italian voice acting, which Skyrim and Fallouts had.

    Sounddesign
    Excellent

    Now I have already had enough of this game.
    Normally I watch reviews after completing a game, but here I have to make an exception, after such a bad first impression. But I already see an uninstall soon.
    The good thing about Starfield is, I don't have to spend my time with this, and I can play other, better games. I would rather play Skyrim or Fallout 4 again.

How much more damning can faint praise get when the discussion of a game’s quality focuses on how it’s less incompetently cobbled together than previous ones? What does it mean when you're so used to shipping broken games, you think "less broken" is an actual brag? Let’s be real, it doesn’t mean much at all when your last game’s level of quality sat at the bedrock below the barrel. To call Starfield the least broken Bethesda game is akin to calling any single TERF the least embarrassing fascist. Then again, given how Zenimax and Bethesda seem to treat trans employees, that comparison may hit too close to home. Starfield’s unintentionally comedic marketing claims might very well be true. It could indeed be, as other reviews have breathlessly proclaimed, “the most polished Bethesda game to date.” That doesn’t mean it’s actually polished, does it? Being the least glitchy game is not the same as being a glitch-free game, and if there’s one thing Starfield ain’t, it’s that. I can of course only speak about my own experience, which has been of a game no more laudable than the digital wreckage that was Fallout 76. Its abundant issues range from the small - enemies getting stuck in doors, NPCs materializing out of thin air, etc. - to the thoroughly horrendous. Really do mean horrendous. I’ve been perpetually stuck on dialog screens, unable to advance a conversation while a character silently gurns at me. I’ve regularly become trapped in my ship’s cockpit, unable to move until I’ve sat back down in my seat and stood up again. Companions have disappeared. Mission-critical enemies have spawned inside walls and rendered almost impossible to kill. I’ve gotten softlocked more times than is forgivable, and I dread to think how much progress I’ve cumulatively lost as a result. By the time the game outright crashed, it felt like hitting the middle square of a bingo card.

    In decades past, Bethesda’s games have gotten away with being busted beyond reason because they were “so ambitious,” but any leeway that might have historically earned has long since dried up. Higher reaching productions from less wealthy companies haven’t been half so defective, not to mention dated. Compared to its contemporaries, the complacency on display is almost offensive. While Starfield’s galaxy is nebulously “big,” its vast array of barren planets populated by recycled assets is absolutely no justification for what this thing truly is - just another buggy Bethesda game following an ancient blueprint that hasn’t evolved creatively or mechanically since Fallout **** 3. On a fundamental level, Starfield plays exactly like any other Bethesda game, only with features borrowed - and subsequently lessened – from No Man’s Sky and The Outer Worlds. The same rudimentary combat (only without VATS to wallpaper over how sloppy it is). The same archaic approach to exploration and questing. The same stilted dialog propelled by non-sequitur exchanges. The same moronic A.I. and robotic animations. The same old narrative cliches in a world of cardboard where every stranger tells you their life story and immediately trusts you with sensitive tasks for seemingly no other reason than the fact you’re a videogame protagonist and they somehow know it. Hell, it’s even got the same worthlessly clumsy third-person mode we’ve seen for almost twenty years, just to hammer home how shockingly little Bethesda has advanced as a creative entity.

    People have referred to Starfield as No Man’s Skyrim, and while some have intended that as a slight against this game, I actually think it’s more insulting to Hello Games’ work. No Man’s Sky at least had a universe you could seamlessly explore, with planets you were able to approach and land on in real time. That was actually ambitious. Starfield’s planets can be flown to manually over the course of hours, but you can’t land on them without a menu, loading screens (get used to seeing those), and dull cutscenes. lso, let’s give the devil its due - Hello Games has worked damn hard to improve No Man’s Sky far beyond its launch version to the point it still has massive summer updates at no extra cost. Bethesda’s so averse to improvement that multiple games released years apart feature the exact same unaddressed bugs. It’s a little gauche, admittedly, to draw so many direct comparisons to other games in a review.

    If you’re the kind of person who thinks videogames peaked with Fallout 3's launch version and they’ve required neither evolution nor improvement since, this game is absolutely for you.If you believe Bethesda doesn’t need to exhibit growth as an artistic outlet and hasn’t had to change a thing about the way it’s made games since 2008, I can safely say you’ll adore Starfield.    … Expand

    Starfield, el anticipado juego de Bethesda, llegó con muchas expectativas pero dejó mucho que desear en varios aspectos clave. Uno de los puntos más decepcionantes es su motor gráfico, que parece haberse quedado estancado en el pasado, sin aprovechar las capacidades de las consolas y PC modernos.

Uno de los puntos más decepcionantes es su motor gráfico, que parece haberse quedado estancado en el pasado, sin aprovechar las capacidades de las consolas y PC modernos. Esto resulta en gráficos anticuados que no hacen justicia a la ambientación espacial.

    El número limitado de armas disponibles, solo 22 armas, es una elección extraña en un juego que promete exploración espacial y combate. Aunque el sistema de combate podría ser su punto fuerte, la falta de variedad de armamento lo hace monótono con el tiempo.

    La prometida exploración espacial se convierte en una simulación procedural sin profundidad real. La generación procedural puede ser efectiva, pero en este caso, parece más una excusa para no diseñar contenido único y memorable. Las pantallas de carga frecuentes rompen el ritmo del juego y disminuyen la inmersión.

    Starfield repite el ciclo de juego de los juegos de la década de 2000, lo que es decepcionante en un momento en que los estándares de la industria han evolucionado significativamente. La falta de actores de voz y expresiones faciales limita la conexión emocional con los personajes y la historia.

    A pesar de afirmar tener millones de planetas, todos parecen tener el mismo diseño y bases enemigas. Esto disminuye la sensación de descubrimiento y aventura en el espacio infinito. Además, la falta de optimización es inexcusable, con problemas de rendimiento que afectan la experiencia de juego en muchas plataformas.

    En resumen, Starfield se siente como un juego que no ha aprovechado todo su potencial. Aunque puede tener un sistema de combate interesante, sus limitaciones gráficas, falta de contenido variado y problemas técnicos lo convierten en una experiencia frustrante y decepcionante para los fanáticos de Bethesda y los amantes de los juegos espaciales.    … Expand

    Starfield is a massive open-world space RPG that has been in development for over 10 years. However, it is a disappointment. While it has a lot to offer in terms of exploration, its technical flaws and lack of polish hold it back.

While it has a lot to offer in terms of exploration, its technical flaws and lack of polish hold it back.

    The game's biggest strength is its exploration. There are over 100 star systems to explore, each with its own planets, moons, and space stations. However, the planets are all procedurally generated, which can make them feel samey and repetitive. There is also a lack of variety in the wildlife and the environment.

    The game's combat is also underwhelming. It is serviceable, but it is not very engaging. The weapons feel weak and the enemies are not very challenging.

    The game's story is also a letdown. It is predictable and uninspired. The characters are also one-dimensional and forgettable.

    In addition to the above criticisms, the game is also buggy and unstable. I encountered several bugs during my playthrough, including quests that would not progress and enemies that would not spawn. The game is also poorly optimized. The frame rate can be choppy, even on high-end PCs.

    The game's UI is also clunky and unintuitive. It can be difficult to find what you are looking for. The game's dialogue is wooden and unnatural. The characters often say things that do not make sense.

    Overall, Starfield is a flawed game that does not live up to its potential. It is a derivative game that borrows heavily from other space RPGs. There is nothing in Starfield that feels truly new or groundbreaking.

    I hope that Bethesda will address the game's shortcomings in future updates, but I am not holding my breath.    … Expand

    It is true that you'll find a good number of barren wastelands with little to do other than extracting some resources and take off to more interesting places, but again it really depends on how you want to play. There's so much to do, so many systems and abilities to explore, missions to complete, spaceships to loot, and species to catalogue, that I honestly don't think there's anybody who thinks that exploring every square meter of this universe is the better way to enjoy Starfield.

    While it has weak spots and doesn’t push many boundaries, Starfield is still an excellent RPG experience. Bethesda has once again mastered the things it built its reputation on – world building, quest design, and deep customization. However, it’s found new things to excel at too, with exciting combat and a novel implementation of New Game Plus.
