    buen juego a secas, pero no supero espectativas y recae en las mismas cadencias que tienen la mayoria de los juegos de xbox, sin alma y no atendiendo detalles pequeños pero importantes para un exclusivo.

    tal vez en unos años pueda ser mejor, algo parecido a lo que paso con ciberpunk

    游戏看样子做的很宏大,但是贴图宇宙成为了一个无法避免的问题(已有UP用时间证明,人工驾驶飞船飞向星球后,当距离成为0后,继续向前,就瞬间穿越了贴图),与其这样,干脆做成各种传送门算了。

    I loved this game. Starfield is Bethesda's best game. It took everything that was good about Fallout and Skyrim and made it better. I loved the ship fights.

    I haven't had any critical bugs in my game, just menu crashing bugs or something like that, nothing special. If you are a fan of RPG, shooting and space content, then this game is really for you! But if you don't like RPG games,

    If you are a fan of RPG, shooting and space content, then this game is really for you! But if you don't like RPG games, don't even try it. The game really has several dialogues and decisions that are characteristic of an RPG game.

    It could have some more details in the graphics, especially the facial expressions of the NPCs, but it's still a great game!

    I recommend it to everyone. It won't win the GOTY award, but it's a great game! 9/10 easily!!!

    One of the worst games ever made by Bethesda.

    Empty, repetitive planets, combat without AI, several bugs, extremely poorly made NPCs, boring and repetitive, I got tired after just 6 hours of playing. Where have you ever seen a space ship game where we can't fly the ship into the atmosphere of the planets like in "NO MANS SKY", or even fly the ship or hover inside the planets?!!!?? ?

    To put it short, this is very much Skyrim in space. That is, what Skyrim was back when it was launched, before the modding community made it the game it is now.

    To put it short, this is very much Skyrim in space. That is, what Skyrim was back when it was launched, before the modding community made it the game it is now.
    That said, it is not a bad game, even if it is extremely bare bones at the moment. You can go pretty much everywhere you see - which is nice - but sadly, there isn't that much to "see" on the way - in space, which is a big part of space travel, yes? - as every time you hop aboard your ship to switch planets/moons/systems, you're treated to a loading screen. You spend very little time on your ship considered how much that is a part of star-faring.
    There is a veritable ton of quests and little events, ranging from your usual go-there-and-find-this to surveying to bounty hunting, nothing earthshaking but the variety is there. The main quest moves on tracks, though, so if you're expecting the sort of freedom you may have found thrilling in a game that starts with the letter "B" and ends in the numeral "3", cast away that hope. You, the player, in terms of the main questline, are a hound the npcs point in a direction. You are, of course, free to ignore the main quest entirely - which you can't do in that other game - so... yeah.
    Long story short, this is a Bethesda game, at launch. As we all know, these games become great, both in looks and in in-depth content, after the players make them great. Bethesda just creates the framework, and they've done so relatively bug free for a Bethesda game, here. (Although my game crashed the moment i launched it for the first time, which made me laugh, it hasn't crashed again or encountered any game-breaking bugs after that during the c. 40 hours I've clocked in now.)
    I don't really see why people are so up in arms about Starfield being the best or the worst Bethesda title, as, in its current blank state, it sits quite comfortably in the middle, waiting to see how far the modding community will take it. And there is much, much more room here than in Skyrim.
    That being said, the price tag for what is technically a beautiful frame with the outlines of a painting is a bit steep. The time spent in development is no excuse, seeing how much of it has been outsourced.
    Hopefully, this one goes the way Skyrim did, which depends largely on the community, now. Is that good company policy for a gargantuan studio? Go figure.

Further, the inventory and item System has still the same flaw as fallout, quickly you are a walking dumpster and a lot of time is spend throwing stuff away. Also, if you are used to the colourful environment from NMS, the planets are dull. I loved Oblivion an Fallout 3, I liked playing Skyrim and Fallout 4, but more of the same again is not worth my time. It came with game pass for free and it lasted half a day on my hard drive. For me simply not fun to play. Expand

    played the game for almost 2 hours and I closed the game and deleted it. The optimization of the game is a disgrace. The spaceship has no meaning, you can go everywhere with fast travel. The graphics are bad. There is a stupid filter and it tires your eyes. In short, this game did not meet my expectations and disappointed me.

    -open world is largely empty and the procedural generated worlds often reuse dungeons. (came across the same layout of a cave multiple times in only a few hours of exploring)
    -quests are very on rails with limited impact to the wider world. nothing on par with the megaton bomb from what i've seen.
    - the characters seem all very dull, and the npcs are not very reactive.

    I have never seen a game look so bad yet so good at the same time. Some locations like spaceships and rooms look amazing with incredible detail. Other areas look very low pixel and from prev gen. Overall it can give you a somewhat good questing experience with some of the faction quests, but the wider exploration is lacking in depth. In previous games like fallout i would explore a building and find notes and visual aids (skeletons in certain positions, broken items etc) that would tell a story about what happened in the location. In starfield i have yet to come across something similar that provides a world build experience. Bugs are still quite common even if they are not crashing the game, and AI is non existant.

    Not impressive

    It's ok, it's a Bethesda game so you've seen it all before. Same old engine that is way past it's best, dated visuals, no memorble npcs, wooden with no personality. Lots of side busy work to do. The main quest hasn't gripped me at all. Just doesn't compare to BG3 or Cyber Punk in terms of quality.

    I really wanted to love this game. When it's good - oh boy - it's good. Unfortunately there's a lot of not so good that makes Starfield hard to recommend. Too much time is spent in clunky travel mechanics, unnecessary loading screens, and vague objectives and not nearly enough time spent in the meat of what makes this game good.

    This would be great game for the mid 00s in the 2020s -

    This would be great game for the mid 00s in the 2020s - where creature comforts like constant loading screens are finally becoming a thing of the past. If I went straight from Oblivion or Morrowind to this - I would be blown away.

    For every beautiful space station and city, there are literal miles of bland uninteresting space - that you are required to walk and awkwardly travel through to get anywhere. For every clever line of dialog - there's thousands of meters of running, walking, running, walking, and running again in an unpolished and ultimately boring landscape. For every shiver down my spine when something cool happens, there's an equal amount of me shouting "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME TODD?" when I fast travel to a door that treats me to yet another loading screen.

    客观地说,这是一款优缺点都很明显的游戏。优点自然不必说,还是传统经典的BRPG那一套:大量的叙事和错综复杂的人物关系,交织如网的任务触发形式。这套玩法有自己独特的魅力。
    但是既然我今天在这里发表评价,就不是把媒体那一套说辞照搬过来的。我的评判标准便是用户体验和开发商的态度。
    我可以打包票,这款游戏的用户体验,除了文本叙事,其他体验几乎没有,而且特别差!有的人说预告片里有的都做出来了。是吗?并不是,比如全局光照就没有。本作的出门冒险体验比在城里逛街要好不少,因为探险的交互远比和人打交道要简单。没有运镜加上贴脸镜头以及糟糕的表情控制外加没有中文配音,让我在对话中的沉浸感极差。有时再加上生硬的镜头运用和队友NPC奇怪的站位(桌子上,墙后面,天花板),让人出戏的情况时有发生。这些用户体验方面的缺点要我罗列下来,讲不了一天一夜也能讲一个下午。

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 50 hours+ in with the main quest completed twice and 2 faction quests fully completed. A very disappointing execution, very bad main story execution, tons of unnecessary travel waiting with no gameplay purpose, really bad world building, effectively 0 meaningful freedom in quests and storyline. Main story quest is effectively just 15 hours of doing the exact same thing over and over again. The worst part is that is that the locations are super generic and uninteresting locations. There is only one good quest in the entire main story quest line that features a research facility that is switching between dimensions. This quest is the only good quest in the game and it’s such a stark contrast against the extremely unambitious delivery for rest of the game.

    Travelling takes forever. I wish this was a fast travel simulator like it’s often mocked for being. The reality is that the travelling is painfully slow despite a 4090 and NVME2 maxed out PC. They add tons of painfully slow landing sequences. You can’t fast travel directly to the planets surface but you must instead travel to its orbit first. You must get scanned for contraband in almost all of the meaningful solar systems which also takes even more time. You also have to wait for you grav drive to power up for upwards of at least 6 seconds out of memory. The worst part is that it serves so little purpose, you almost never get attacked by other spaceships. While any meaningful orbit interactions / quests could’ve been much better executed by just having them appear in the solar system map view as a distress signal. 0 meaningful choice or interesting gameplay in quests. Compared against Cyberpunk the ability to approach a quest in multiple different ways is just non existent. No proper stealth, no different approaches to the objective and instead just a simple speech check at the very end of a quest to skip 10s of combat. Abysmal non existent world building instead of the cool and extensive world building we saw in Fallout 4. The days of exploring the wasteland and coming across tons of cool structures and settings are gone. You got a few small cities that are hard to traverse with not a lot of substance. If you ever hope to come across a cool building with tons of enemies anywhere you’re going to be disappointed. It’s going to be same looking space building facility you see everywhere else. With the same generic 4x4 meter building block set.

    7-8 years of development for this? 66% of the game is spent running in barren planet with 0 meaningful world building and tons of artificially added waiting screens. The rest of the 33% is generic combat with the most linear dialogue and quest options imaginable. To call this game too ambitious is not doing it service. This is a very unambiguous game with even worse delivery.

    As for bugs I encountered 2-3 bugs that soft locked the main quest as important characters would start to float up in the air, etc. in all cases I was able to reload the save and run up to the person I needed to talk to before they floated into the planets atmosphere. Not too bad on this front for a Bethesda game.

    As someone who is a massive fan of fallout new vegas and a big fan of Cyberpunk this was a massive disappointment. The game designs and direction is incredibly outdated and I have to be honest that for Bethesda to be one of only 2 game studios producing massive first person RPGs like this is leaving me sad. If you are new to the genre and not that big of a RPG fan then maybe 6/10 can be a fair rating. But if you are a massive fan of fallout new vegas, fallout 4, Cyberpunk and were hoping for a big leap forward. Then you’re in for the opposite, it’s a far worse experience than even fallout 4. The 4/10 is for the people that never wanted a looter shooter no man’s sky but an actual RPG with a good story and meaningful freedom.

Many worlds are boring ? How can you you expect every single world to be fantastic? If you like immersion wouldn’t be normal some worlds be vast and some don’t ? That’s why the game compels you to explore , because that’s the life of any explorer , sometimes you find something great , sometimes you don’t , that’s life .

    The loadings . Yes it would be great not to have them , but that we most think of what hardware would be capable fondling that . It’s just not possible . The game as a sistem to simulate that ( the so called loading screen) in order do have some things you don’t have others I agree with the animations , especially the facial animations , they could , and I hope they still will put some more work on that .

    The game is massive , and they don’t assist you properly , by the time you understand , you already invest too many hours, they should help people on that regard because it’s not simple.

    The caracter don’t have voice and that is annoying, they say it’s because it’s more immerse , but personally i don’t think so.

    All and all it’s a great game , the story it’s great , the graphic’s amazing , and like any Bethesda game it as a a large margin to evolve over the time , and you can expect that .

It falls short of being a true next-gen experience and feels more like a remastered version or an attempt to blend elements of Skyrim and Fallout in a space setting. As consumers and gamers, we expect a complete and polished game experience from developers, rather than relying on the modding community to fix and improve its shortcomings.

    I am 12 hours into this game. I had extremely low expectations for years all the way up until release date and wasn't even planning on getting it. I ended up getting a few months of game pass just to try it.
    Disclaimer: I am a HUGE Fallout fan and forgave all the bugs just for sheer entertainment value. I am not really even a fan of Skyrim and didn't finish it, but was a big fan of Morrowind and Oblivion. All this being said, I knew the standard Bethesda had set for themselves.
    I can honestly say I was bored as hell for the first couple hours, then I started understanding the scope of the game and getting the hang of where stuff was. I couldn't help but feel like I was playing a Fallout sequel after a while so I started really getting into it. Obviously the biggest complaint people have is the true sense of exploration via space travel. Fortunately I couldn't care less about that aspect and would be turned off by flying around in space for hours. So that is probably what sets my opinion apart from some. I love completing quests and feeling like I'm roleplaying Firefly most of the time. Blasting enemies is endless fun for me. I personally am a fan of fast travelling everywhere on games in order to utilize my time in the most efficient way possible, so you won't hear me complaining about that whatsoever. The travel system is not a problem for me.

    Sure there are "Bethesda" bugs and glitches, but nowhere near as many as previous Bethesda games, at least what I've observed. Customization is top notch, in ship building and everything else.
    if you don't like Bethesda games to begin with you OBVIOUSLY aren't going to enjoy this one. For me, it is more than what I expected because I never invested in the hype of this game.

    If you've been waiting forever for Fallout 5... well here it is. And I'm loving it.

    I seriously can't believe Bethesda has failed their main fortes: Exploration , freedom, feeling alone, getting lost in the world... These were the most consistent features of the Bethesda titles, even though they got streamlined in time. I don't care and mind loading screens, graphics, poor combat etc. I am not a big Fallout fan but I have played and am still playing from Daggerfall to Skyrim only with only bug patches and QoL & UI mods... I really wish this was "Skyrim but in space" "Fallout but in space"... It would be more than mediocre at best if that was correct.

    Starfield... Thousands of worlds within vast space... For a fish in an aquarium perhaps. I really hope TES VI will never come. Their EA way of selling early access and a "promised" upcoming DLC is pathetic as well.

    Starfield is not a Bethesda game. It's a hybrid of Bethesda/No Mans Sky/Mass Effect. Trimming all that made those games good and leaving us with a drained and uninspired skeleton.

    Exploration is horrendously boring; you land on a barren patch of a world, with mundane points of interest (often space base or meteor landing site, etc), that you have to walk to (for minutes on end). Mass Effect released, what? a decade ago? And knew it required a vehicle. And although exploration in Mass Effect was there it wasn't the main draw of Mass Effect. Starfield pulled us in with dreams of exploration, a No Man's Sky on steroids, it is not.

    Combat is mind-numbingly bad. Almost all enemies are human bullet-sponges who require a full clip or thereabouts to bring down. It is the most tired, uninspired combat I've seen in a long time. People compare it to Fallout 4, but again it's like a trimmed down F04. You can't insta-kill enemies with head shots, or use vats. The guns are generic and limited, and most of the enemies are the exact same. FO4 had a wide variety of guns with deep customization and a huge variety of enemies. Starfield is Fallout 4, if FO4 only had: laserguns, rifles, pistols, shotguns (that all do the same damage) and the bandit enemy type. Sure if you venture into the woods you'll find the odd mutated crab, but that would be it. Comparing this game to Fallout 4 is a disservice to Fallout 4.

    One of the worst things however are the loading screens. You'll hit one every few minutes, unless you stick to fighting 50 space bandits on some space base, or explore an empty desert of a world.

    At one point I came to the realization that I was watching more cutscenes of my ship fly to different worlds than actually flying my ship.

    Space combat is ok, but I wouldn't call it the main draw. Since they ripped off No Mans Sky I think many of us expected the travel of No Mans Sky, I would have taken that over space combat any time.

    To the weird people creating accounts solely to defend this game, you are doing a disservice to Bethesda as a whole. They need to know how they **** up, they need to see that this game isn't good, and they need to start improving.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rating it at 8.0 is the right rating imo.
    The beginning is very slow, you really need a couple hours to get into it.
    Ive experienced a couple of severe bugs which forced me to reload an older save.
    Except a couple of fps drops when loading an area it runs very smoothly for me on an rtx 3070.
    Now ofc releasing a not finished game is a disgusting business practice and truly despicable.

    But its common practice now isnt it?

    So looking past that, Ive experienced a great game with a lot of great stories, I like the gunplay, I like jumping around with a jetpack in different gravities and I like the immense variety the Planets offer.
    Theres a cyberpunk planet, a cowboy planet, a boring "perfect" world planet, a beach planet and I feel like ive barely seen 10% of it all.

    Overall its fun
    Its not perfect, its bugged its big and takes you time to get into it but its not as bad as other players want you to believe.
    Solid 8.

    **spoilers** the random encounters are still Bethesdaesque great, the Colonyship from 2100 that wants to colonise a planet but comes too late becaues they travelled for 200 Years? Or you becoming a Spy for the Government, undermining the Space Pirates just because I stole some stupid Item? Great Fun
    Remember running into Soltitude and seeing the beheading of some guy? Now theres Hostages in a Bank and you can be the one to intervene, with sword or word.

    Starfield reminds us that space travel is... just not fun.

    There are a lot of things that Starfield does well, but the key marketed feature of "exploring the galaxy" and "discovering what's out there" is definitely not one of them. I know that games like this need to walk a fine line between realism and being enjoyable to play, but Starfield does neither particularly well.

    The biggest issue is the space travel, or rather, almost complete lack of it. I knew that we would not be able to enter/exit orbit without a loading screen, which is understandable. However, you cannot even travel to the nearest planet/moon without having to open menus and selecting fast travel. One might say that this is the realism of planets being so far away - it would realistically take ages to travel to them. Fair enough, but the solar system map tosses this realism out the window with the scale it shows between planets and stars (just see the Sol system). Could Bethesda not have found a happy middle ground between seemingly stagnant flight speeds and immediate galaxy warp that would have allowed us to actually fly through solar systems? Starfield's space travel basically comes down to nothing but menu selections, fast traveling, and loading screens. It is not fun or enjoyable at all. When Todd Howard said, "You can go there," he literally meant, "You can load there."

    Another issue that people are bringing up is the lack of discovery on the planets/moons. This is in part due to the procedural generation being utilized and also probably the realism that Bethesda sought to convey. However, it makes the game feel lackluster and boring. I agree with the critiques along these lines.

    NPC's are what you would expect from Bethesda with their positive and negative elements. Voice acting is good and they look better than previous games (naturally), but they still have the Bethesda robotic feel to them. They turn unnaturally in conversations (torsos turning while feet remain planted forward) and their eyes still seem lifeless/off. They interrupt each other constantly making it hard to hear conversations and followers are almost always falling behind. Bethesda does have NPC citizens spawn from doorways to make cities feel more inhabited, which I appreciate, but the spawns don't always make sense (dozens continuously coming out of a building that is empty inside).

    A small nitpick, but when you leave orbit the game loads you facing the planet/moon you just left. This doesn't help the little space travel immersion that is left in the game. Why am I facing the planet that I just left?

    Starfield isn't a bad game, but it certainly is not great. I've been playing Bethesda games since Morrowind came out and I'm struggling to have fun with this one. It has all the elements of a Bethesda game (character creation, role playing, fetch quests, item interaction, etc.) without the same sense of discovery and exploration. Imagine playing Skyrim and instead of walking from town to town traveling the world, you could only traverse a small area outside of a town before having to load to another small area outside of another town - not as an option, but a requirement. That's Starfield - you can load to a lot of places and walk around on barren planets/moons, but not travel through space in any meaningful and fun way.

    Starfield has been one of the only games to truly draw me in since the witcher 3 came out. The universe they create has been oberwhelmingly fun to explore. If you are a fan of previous Bethesda titles than yoi should definitley check out this game.

    Pretty cool game. I like the flexibility allowing you to do pretty much anything. Especially when it comes to being a space pirate, taken cargo and ships etc

    It would have been a 7 if it was not full of crashes and game breaking bugs.

    Pro: - Good game to waste some time before something better comes along. Plenty of missions and activities, managing your outpost or customize your ship - Ok combat, not the best, not the worst Cons: - Unintuitive: This game is clearly not for a new player. Nothing is explain. I played over 20 hours and

    Pro:

    - Good game to waste some time before something better comes along. Plenty of missions and activities, managing your outpost or customize your ship
    - Ok combat, not the best, not the worst

    Cons:
    - Unintuitive: This game is clearly not for a new player. Nothing is explain. I played over 20 hours and I still don't understand most of the stuff. Tutorials and "hints" do not help at all
    - Too much is not something good: Too many things to take care of, give me the impression that things were thrown in there just so the game can be "huge".
    - Grinding: Crafting is awful - Spend 10 hours to get some skill points > Skill Up > Gather materials to research > Go research > Gather materials to craft > Get +1 bullet in your gun. This is just awful
    - NPC: Their faces... No expression, no nothing. Reminds me of the "My face is tired" incident in Mass Effect Andromeda
    - Repetitive: Activities and MISC mission in particular are boring and repetitive and gives you almost nothing. Planets, systems, starts - just a joke, copy paste assets just to give the sentiment of exploring a whole multiverse. Go to the stairs up and down > Take the elevator > wait for loading screen

    I just came here to read all the PS5 fanboys having a meltdown because they can't play. Added bonus I found the snowflakes crying about it being woke. As my score indicates it's a great game and the majority of the bad reviews are people who haven't even played.

    In addition to all the problems and false promises this game contains, it doesn't work. Even on a very strong PC that runs Star Citizen with maximum graphics, this game cannot work correctly and closes by itself all the time.

    Purchasing and playing a Bethesda game always comes with some caveats. You know the combat will be janky. You know there will be bugs, ranging from amusing to game breaking. You know the graphics will be rather subpar compared to contemporary titles. You know both the companion and enemy AI will be less than impressive, to put it mildly.

You know there will be bugs, ranging from amusing to game breaking. You know the graphics will be rather subpar compared to contemporary titles. You know both the companion and enemy AI will be less than impressive, to put it mildly. You know performance, particularly on PC, will not be proportionate with the aforementioned subpar graphics. You know there will be an over-reliance from Bethesda on the modding community to fix these things. All these caveats are present in Starfield, but what has traditionally made these caveats tolerable in past BGS titles is the unparalleled sense of exploration that the games engender. Unfortunately that sense of exploration does not exist in Starfield.

    Whether crossing the Commonwealth or traversing Tamriel's terrain you never knew what was going to be over the next hill or around the next bend. Just try to remember the sense of wonder and awe you felt in Skyrim when you first came across Blackreach. With Starfield, a game ostensibly about exploring space, that sense of exploration, wonder and awe is all but gone. Imagine if every point of interest in Fallout 4 or Skyrim was locked behind 4-5 loading screens and only reachable through fast travel (or by running several hundred meters across a barren landscape) and further imagine if virtually every point of interest was copied and pasted using the same assets, same layout and same enemy spawn points. That is Starfield's planetary exploration in a nutshell. 1,000 planets across a large section of a galaxy, all with identical mining facilities, labs, geological formations and enemies. It's soulless, boring, repetitive and lazy. Once it quickly loses its luster what you're left with is a rather boring conversation and loading screen simulator with occasional bursts of combat (which, to their credit, has improved somewhat due to help from the folks that made Doom - though this was an extremely low bar to clear). It's almost as if Todd got tired of hearing his games described as "wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle" but rather than making those critics eat their words he double downed on that design philosophy out of spite instead.

    Will the game perform better and have conspicuously missing quality of life features in a year due to the diligence of modders? Probably yes. But I have a hard time imagining modders being able to replicate that sense of exploration and adventure previous BGS games offered. Such a shame.

    Does it has flaws? Sure, like almost every game at release nowadays. Is it bad? definitely not! If you know Betheseda, you get exactly that - a Bethesda game with some flaws, but good enough gameplay, story, atmosphere and graphics, which are combined an outstanding gaming experience!

    It's funny how People complaining about the game (because it's not as they THOUGHT it would be) are victims of their own unrealistic expectations and stupid hype trains befrorehand and try to review bomb it due to their inability to self reflect. What a time to be alive.

    It's a big game, but starts way too slowly, and may never get interesting.

    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.
