    Hand's down the most disappointing game of the year, this was supposed to be the game of the generation, but it's just another overhyped bethestha mediocre game heavenly held back by their ancient engine.

    It's a complete step back from their other big game's, even fallout 4 which in itself is already pretty meh. it's simply not the xbox comeback everyone was expecting

    It's not the game they promised, it's full of bugs, poor performance, outdated graphics engine, constant loading times, limited and boring, simple interface menus. It's not what it should have been.

    This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. For goodness sake, why does Bethesda still keep using this same outdated PS2 engine? Enough already. This is literally just a reskinned Fallout 4.

Enough already. This is literally just a reskinned Fallout 4. It plays and feels exactly the same, not to mention that Fallout 4 was already an outdated piece of garbage when it first released. The greedy developers are too cheap and lazy to update or get a new engine. Not even EA is that greedy to use stone age engines for their PS5/XSX games. Bethesda is now owned by a multi-trillion dollar company and it's pathetic they still use this same Nintendo DS 2D minigame for lockpicking in a $70 next-gen only title. I can pick locks in real-time in Atomic Heart, and that game was made by an inexperienced no-name studio with a much smaller publisher. That just proves Bethesda are extremely greedy and lazy. You can't open doors in real-time, nor can you grab anything in real-time. The developers bragged about 1000 planets, but it's nothing more than 1000 glorified interiors.

    The missions are boring and repetitive. The story is terrible. The character models are so hideous, it makes me want to puke. The facial animations are laughable. The gunplay is horrible, and so is the inventory system. The space battles are a joke. The physics are complete trash. When I fall into the water 100 feet in the air, there's no splash nor does my character go underwater. The water doesn't even react to grenades and explosions. This $70 next-gen only title runs at 30 FPS. The protagonist doesn't talk. These cheapskates didn't want to pay for a protagonist voice actor. The AI is incredibly stupid. I can't believe the amount of Xbox fanboys lying about the lack of bugs. That is an absolute lie, there's many bugs in this game. Speaking of fanboys, they claim that the game gets fun in about 12 hours. A game shouldn't take that freaking long to be fun. This garbage costs $70, it should be fun right from the get-go. If an entertainment product doesn't entertain, then what's the point? I also love how these fanboys make that claim, because they're basically admitting that the first 12 hours are boring.

    There's nothing to do in the open world. Wait, did I say open world? There are loading screens when visiting other planets. It's the same garbage as Witcher 3, can't even explore the entire open world in real-time. The planets are empty. It's just wastelands full of rocks, plants and more rocks. Yeah I get it, most planets in the universe are empty. But let's not forget you can't even explore an entire planet, nor can you explore outerspace in real-time like you can in No Man's Sky, meaning Bethesda clearly had the choice to only make us explore the interesting parts. They didn't make that choice. To make matters worse, there's no land vehicles, making it more tedious to explore these empty landscapes. Speaking of exploration, there are no maps. They could have at least added a proper map for the so-called "cities" but the developers were too lazy for that. I don't want to waste my time trying to find the gun shop. What is it with Bethesda calling small settlements cities? If those are cities, then Paleto Bay and Sandy Shores from GTA V are cities.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Where's Team Deathmatch? Where's PvP space battles? Co-op? Anything? It is highly embarrassing that an indie studio like Hello Games can give me co-op, yet this veteran AAA studio backed by a multi-trillion dollar corporation can't even do that. Even a failure defunct studio like Volition can give me co-op. A very tiny studio like Coffee Stain North can give me co-op. I could make plenty of examples in regards to other smaller studios humiliating you Bethesda and Microsoft, but why should I even bother doing that when you already do an amazing job at humiliating yourselves. I mean, just look at those NPCs. They don't react to you firing your weapons, a basic detail that many PS2 games had. I remember playing N64 games with that little detail. I am sick to death of Microsoft's low quality trash. I expect a dozen top-notch AAA biblical gaming experiences by now from a multi-trillion dollar company. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.    … Expand

    Un gioco altamente respingente. Da amante di Skyrim, ne sono deluso. Ho giocato poche ore, lo ammetto. Ma onestamente, meglio così. Magari da riprendere tra qualche anno, sperando che le dinamiche di gioco siano stravolte e migliorate.
    Grafica buona, ma ci sono alcune parti di mappa che fanno sanguinare gli occhi: le cascate, le piante mi hanno veramente ucciso.
    L'inizio della storia è    Un gioco altamente respingente. Da amante di Skyrim, ne sono deluso. Ho giocato poche ore, lo ammetto. Ma onestamente, meglio così. Magari da riprendere tra qualche anno, sperando che le dinamiche di gioco siano stravolte e migliorate.
    Grafica buona, ma ci sono alcune parti di mappa che fanno sanguinare gli occhi: le cascate, le piante mi hanno veramente ucciso.
    L'inizio della storia è sciatto e banale; non conosco il resto, dunque non giudico. Ma l'inizio di un gioco dovrebbe essere la parte fondamentale, che ti getta nell'atmosfera e ti aggancia al gioco...
    Le musiche buone, ma molti brani sono una rielaborazione di quanto sentito in Skyrim.
    Non sono un fan di FPS, e questo gioco sicuramente non mi ha fatto cambiare idea, anzi...
    I nemici sono idioti allo stato puro, superati solamente dai companion dei quali vuoi sbarazzarti il prima possibile.
    Il menu non mi piace: se l'idea era il minimalismo, a sembra più che altro povero, scabro.

    E poi: i viaggi spaziali.
    Una sequela di caricamenti e cinematic brutte e inutili. La navigazione nelle mappe frustrante, tedioso.
    Esplorare a terra è noioso, senza mezzi se non andare a piedi o con un aspirapolvere sulle spalle (nel 2330?); caricamenti tra un dungeon e l'altro. Il nulla da fare...

    Gioco monocorde, sciatto e senz'anima.
    Bethesda non merita i fan che ha. E al di là del fatto che questo gioco rende ancora più frustrante l'attesa per TES6, mi chiedo se è meglio sperare che non esca mai.
    Piuttosto che provare una delusione ancora più cocente di questa.

    Largamente bocciato il gioco, la campagna di comunicazione e la boria di Todd Howard.    … Expand

    Hello fellow gamers. As an enormous fan of Elder Scrolls and Fallout, I was excited to see what was in store in this game. I had zero expectations after the Fallout 76 launch experience (which we don't have to talk about), and was willing to give it a chance. I heard all the promises made to us, and what the game was supposed to be, so I had an idea of what to expect.

    There's too many great games to waste time on this barely good game. Is it a Bethesda game? Well yes, it is. I guess we got what we should have all been expecting.    … Expand

    I wanted to like this game I really did, but as a bethesda fan I feel like I've been lied to and sold on a lot of features by bethesda themselves that is not present in the game on launch. I hope they do better with the elder scrolls VI because if they mess that one up to then I will be done with Bethesda.

    In Starfield, you play as Starborn. The graphics, combat, menus, UI, UX, enemy AI, ally AI, map design, cities and ambience is **** The word **** doesn't do justice to how bad it is.
    Lots of re-used assets, such as sounds from Skyrim and Fallout 4, a true magnum opus from Bethesturd and Turd Howard, requiring only the best hardware possible if you even want to dream of achieving 30 fps.

    This game also suffers from the deadly and terminal "Millenial Twitter" writing, with quirky characters who wont stop babbling about inane subjects in the most boring and predictable way possible. Every single character is insufferable.
    Let's not even talk about how this is a glorified Fetch simulator with absolutely no freedom to do whatever you want, no way to impact the story, no alternate routes, nothing. In a way, it's more Mass Effect: Andromeda and Ubisoft than it is Bethesda. That's really bad.
    There is not a single reason to play this game. You enjoy atmospheric space games? Go play No Mans Sky
    You enjoy Bethesda games? Go play Skyrim
    You enjoy every category that this game is a part of? Me too. I hate this game.    … Expand

    One of the worst games I’ve ever played, the load times are absolutely horrendous and the open worlds are dead and the A.I is so stupid. The loading screens are the worst I’ve ever seen, just about anything you involves a loading screen it’s like the game came from the PS3/360 era.

    Fallout 4 was a fun game with many flaws but the gunplay, environments and companion quests were enjoyable and well done. Starfield is very similar to Fallout 4 with space elements bolted on.

The gunplay has been watered down from Fallout 4, it feels weak, your bullets feel like they have zero effect on anything you shoot. The crafting and cooking has been brought over from Fallout 4 without hardly any changes. This game is safe, uninspired and as far from current gen games as Fallout 4.

    It’s completely outrageous for a AAA space game in 2023 not to include:

    - Seamless space flight from ground to atmosphere - Exploring galaxies
    - Flying manually to planets (if you do you’ll fly through them, it’s all a fake skybox) - Vehicles

    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.
