Starfield: Shattered Space Dethrones Concord

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Off topic....well on topic but folks will shyt on Starfield because lmao and Bugthesda, but I see why they consider this game to be their magnum opus. As a marsupial that enjoys space, science fiction, and spirituality, this game taps into every element.

Yes, the game is....Bethesda babble, but I guarantee that once this is all said and done. Once the upteenth GOTY or blunder in this dreaded gaming industry, heads are going to be on the "don't know a good thing until it's gone" steez, and I will shake the living hell out of my head reflecting back to this thread

I'm actually more upset that people are blaming Microsoft for this when Bethesda has BEEN like this for YEARS now.
But then I have to remember that folks have the memory of a goldfish

When I played Fallout 4, a lot of the gameplay designs bothered me but the story sucked me in.

Then I saw Fallout 76 and yea, red flags ahoy. I like Starfield for what it is, but imma need some mods to pull me back in.
I'm having a blast playing AI Dungeon, making my own stories

Game is pretty trash tbh.

I am a scifi nerd beyond comprehension, obsessed with space/physics and science fiction. I am also someone who has put 100s of hours into Bethesda games. Morrowind 100 plus, Oblivion 100 plus, Skyrim 100s, Fallout 3 hundreds, platinumed Fallout 4.

I disagree with everything you said about the game. Almost everything that DOES make Bethesda games good is gone from this. Just stale, repetitive and boring. imo

Probably the biggest issue is the fundamental problem in having segmented exploration. The wandering is gone and that was basically 85% of the fun in Bethesda games.

I think Larian is in too different of a lane personally with the actual gameplay, unless they go real-time combat (which I don’t see happening, or a point in them doing it). CDPR is still in the ARPG lane tho, and now that they have stepped into the first person lane, and seemed to learn from their mistakes, Bethesda really needs to look out for them.

Lore and story-wise Larian is the best of em all

I think BG3 dropping before Starfield kind of proved that people all view them the same. Yeah they are kind of in different lanes gameplay wise, but Bethesda used to be known for freedom of choice and role playing much more than just raw gameplay.

then you even got games like Elden Ring which aren’t really story based but have all the other trappings of a big open world rpg, like classes, stat distribution, exploration, good combat, deep lore, etc.

bethesda said themselves, that what they used to do really well became conventional in the AAA game space.

I'll keep repeating myself, but Bethesda is ass now because they kept reusing the same old engine. The story layout is the same, the gameplay is the same. Then these nikkas still got loading screens. Like were they stuck under a rock? What open world game still has loading screens?

I love the premise of Starfield, it has so much potential, it was just designed wrong. Could they make it better now? Hell no, it's only saving grace would making great story lines to overlook the gameplay. The gameplay is just trash. Terrible gun animations, terrible A.I., and weightless movement like you play duke nukem 97.
