Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Old Hans]

Still can't believe they released a game like this without any ground vehicles. No bullshit in-setting explanation as far as I can tell either, Todd just went full Gigachad, refused to include vehicles, and feels compelled to offer no explanation beyond "you have a jetpack".

Ground vehicles would probably be tied to horse mechanics and physics because the engine is ancient and barely works.

reminds me of that screenshot from New Vegas that shows how they made a train work & it was just a human with a giant train head that ran really, really fast

on low gravity planets you can pretty much fly around without touching ground with your boost pack.

combat with boostpack is awesome too, dropping from above on your enemies while firing your machine laser gun.

enemies use their boostpacks too to find cover or gain higher ground

boostpacks sometimes explode if you shoot them

critically wounded enemies pathetically try to crawl away from you and you just fire up that lasergun up their ass

10/10

NV (and Fallout 3, I think) had vehicle mods. Fallout 4 power armor was basically a pseudovehicle. It's just supreme laziness.

Niggerfield looking DOPE!
Seriously, what's with all the niggers in this game? WE BE KOLONYZING SPES 'ND SHEEEIT! Did Bethesda forget that the majority of their fanbase is white? In the future there are no whites and asians?
Character models look like absolute dogshit, this is a Bethesda game after all.
That ugly engine has been overused to the point of near death...

Their fan base AND dev team consists now of thirty-something Reddit browsing white family men with IPA beer gut who love to virtue signal and who consequently want to bring down young white males in order to surge their own status. Same crowd who plays crap like Dad Of War. Ask yourself a question, when was the last time you have seen a white young male in these action RPGs outside of Kingdom Come Deliverance. When you see a white guy in these games, it's always some self insert shit, like the cowboy dad guy in Starfield who wants to turn her adopted (brown) underage daughter into stronk woman space explorer. They don't want to represent young white males in their games because they are their actual competition due to equal, or superior diligence and competence.

vehicles would be cool I think but it would also make exploration feel like a chore

or are they just fishing for attention and outrage articles with this shit?

Yes. The outrage helps threads about the game (such as this one) stay at the top of the forum list, and may also trick curious readers into watching gameplay videos to see for themselves what all the fuss is about. In the next stage journalists and woke gaming forums may feign outrage over racist forum comments, giving the game even more exposure, while Bethesda is laughing all the way to the bank.

If Bethesda really wanted to heavily promote woke or ESG they'd surely have made the black characters much better looking than the white ones, and added much more Pride minorities than seems to be the case? One can't rule out incompetence of course, and the devs may actually want all that wokeness, but I suspect a balance has been struck: provoke just enough forum cholerics (or create outraged sock puppets if need be) to stir up controversy, but without scaring off the average consumer. It helps that forum posts often exaggerate their wokeness finds, then when hesitant normies watch gameplay videos they'll realize that the claims where overblown and consume product.

"You didn't pay for this game so your feedback is invalid"

Yes. Why should devs care about the opinion of people who don't play their games?

Would have been funny when you land on Earth, you discover it's brimful with whites and they're like: "Oh shit, they found us at last."

Nah, they work out great in 7 days to die. Drive around, explore locations, dump loot in vehicle, and it's not like 7 days to die vehicles are anything special. Bethesda really needs to up their game because they're not the only ones cranking out 1st person open world "do whatever you want" games anymore.

Oh I don't know maybe learn a lesson from Volition about not listening to their customers over what they want. I mean all those lost sales surely ensured that Volition survived right?

Stream 1 runtime: 6:33:01
Stream 2 runtime: 5:18:52
Stream 3 runtime: 4:05:45
Stream 4 runtime: 8:21:06

That is a combined runtime of 24 and a half hours, with stream number five going on for well over an hour and a half at this point.

If the game is such abject shit it is grounds to scream like a child like this, why is he still playing it? It's not like he's garnering that many views with those livestreams, the only ones that get a significant amount are the ones with Mauler.

I don't get why anyone would watch that retard anyway. Every video he does is just unscripted rambling about the same fucking topic every other "anti-woke" Youtuber also covers and many of them do it better than he does. He's not particularly interesting, or insightful or even eloquent. He's just a sad, fat, middle aged baldie with a chip on his shoulder. He even accomplishes the amazing feat of having a British accent while not sounding more intelligent because of it. Given that there are better alternatives, why does this guy even have an audience? He's completely useless.

I stopped watching him after he advised every one of his viewers to not buy a game then in the same video he said he was going to buy the collectors edition of said game.

This thread has gotten boring.

Can someone post some more GIFs of bug-eyed black people floating in Zero-G?

Here's some male dancers wearing teletubby costumes in a club for some reason

Every NPC you talk too screams "WOOOOOO BEST PARTY EVER". People were actually paid to create this.

You gotta be shitting me. That has to be AI generated.

They better start caring about their customers that bought their prior games and the feedback that they give. Failure to listen leads to the demise of the studio as evidenced by Volition. Do you honestly think that Microsoft won't pull the plug on Bugthesda if a game fails to meet sales expectations?

 

[Grampy_Bone]

This game is Preston Garvey on steroids. Just walked back and forth through the town and somehow I have 18 quests. Fuckit, grandpa's joining the space pirates.

 

[RegionalHobo]

i wonder why movies still use really attractive actors for most movies and western gaming decided to go into the opposite direction

as for starfield i started playing today and besides some bizarre npcs it s pretty much what i expect from bethesda, when you consider the path their games went since morrowind. people expected a generational game from this i guess, imo it s a ok arpg not even a top 50 contender but not a stinker. until now i m having more fun with it than fo4 but less than all other bethesda games i ve played.

feels like a side project/side studio game even if i know it s not. i m really curious to see what they ll do with the new TES

Clicked on this guy's channel, immediately saw this:

Also a few people got timeout'd for saying "woke" after this dialogue, just so you know that this guy is not only uglier than sin but also a massive faggot.

Actually the best thing about creative types is that, no matter how much they deny it, they will hyperfocus on a single negative opinion in a sea of a million positive opinions and torturously dwell on it.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly it. They've produced a solid game, but a solid game isn't necessarily good enough when it's your first major release in 8 years and your previous games (pre-Fo4, at least) were all commercial and critical big hitters.

I think it if hadn't taken so damn long, people would be a bit more receptive. Like, if this had just been a stopover between a (non-shit) Fallout release and a TES release.

 

[Jenkem]

This is actually much closer to Daggerfall in space...

I wait for Morrowind in space then

Outer Worlds 2 finna be lit fr fr no cap
