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

[Lemming42]

Bro, you've got outposts on like 6 million different planets. This is easy. They never have to know about each other.

True, but as an Englishman, I'd rather die than break my word. I'll just have to marry Sarah out of embarrassment.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

We are all wrong. Starfield is actually a horror masterpiece

Took like, what, 48 hours?

did beth purposely make the NPCs as ugly as possible to force modders to fix it?

There's apparently a bug that has your ship ditch you at the landing pad and fly off.

I hope someone releases a mod to change that voice line with this

 

[Silverfish]

that fanboy vic is spamming us with his base building crap

Yeah, but just like Fallout 4, that's the most interesting aspect of the game.

"It gets good 20 hours in I swear!"
Did I accidentally go to the weeb subforum??

No, our games are good from the outset.

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.

He looks very happy™ to be playing Starfield.

Yeah, i love all this shit eating suffering. Eat that slop, goyim lmao

On subject of space sodomy i guess.

At least it doesn't have bears though. Right, Jenkem?

Phantom Liberty will be a breath of fresh air after Starfield. I'm really looking forward to it now.

this is not a fair comparison, 2077 is a Far Cry, not an RPG

Nah I mean the population of Night City isn’t 95% nog and there aren’t girl boss caricatures everywhere.

Alright, this is genuinely quite sweet. Refreshing change of pace after BG3's disappointing "romance" that was all casual sex, kinky jokes, and offensive pornographic shit.

Looks like the romance options in Starfield just let you say nice things like this to them.

What is the point of having 5 dialogue options if you have to be a beta male in every one? This game was literally made by incels who don't know how to talk to women.

He earns a living playing games on twitch and he could get in trouble and lose his breadwinner by allowing people to criticize wokeness because it's against twitch rules since the platform is leftard. I assure you that is the same for any streamer there(except maybe the really small ones that stream just for fun).

Also, in big channels like that dude's usually they're not even the ones banning people since they designate mods for that.

This thread has gotten boring.

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

Does this game get any better?

Get out of New Atlantis as soon as you can, and set off for the other cities like Neon. After a couple hours in Neon or Cowboy Town (forgot the name), you'll be able to make a reasonably fair judgment on the game.

If you're not liking it by then, you probably won't like it ever. It gets better but only in the sense that your character's skills develop and you unlock more exciting weapons and ships.

Unlike New Atlantis, Akila does feel like a real settlement and even looks good. There are NPCs doing things, not just walking from nowhere to nowhere. There are some places you can even go inside without loading screens! Not many though, which is a problem. There should not be a loading screen to enter any of those buildings. Its not like they're elaborate dungeons, they're small homes or shops. That majorly detracts. If you want to explore the entire town a budget of multiple minutes of loading screens is necessary.

I will not touch this game until Grounded Starfield mod is released.

I wonder if that would be easier for Starfield since you probably just have to tweak the random NPC generator? Its not like many of these NPCs, at least in New Atlantis, exist in any way, right? They spawn random, they disappear, they have no homes and no lives, they have no purpose. In Fallout 4 nothing NPCs you encounter at the beginning can persist throughout.

So maybe the problem is they want shopkeepers open 24/7? Its not like these cities are unmanageably huge, let them work in shifts. "This is a family shop, crazy ol' Uncle Jontrontavious mans the till at night. Careful, he drinks a bit too much and might start yelling incorrect racial slurs at you *in the background Uncle can be heard yelling 'fuck you bloody!'*" In the daytime Uncle can be seen passed out at a barstool. If you cajole him he'll mutter an appropriate insult in his sleep and fall off of his stool.

Imagine taking the racial cornucopia they've provided here and adding real-world racial tensions. Now those are factions that people would intuitively understand and get behind, not the Space Pirate vs Space Cowboys crap. Space war now!

There are so many concrete gameplay issues that are more urgent though. Until a modder fixes the menus, at least the inventory system, why even bother.

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.

The creative bankruptcy hits home the most. They are operating a limited set of Hollywood/western cliches, and have rigidly refused/were unable to, do anything outside of those lines. Writing for space futures makes it simple to jettison all of that. They didn't even try, there was no effort whatsoever to offer anything other than stale retreads. I know that was to be expected from them, but damn, but fuck, but whoa goddamn fuck.

This vitiligo shit needs to STOP. I've never seen anyone with the condition in my LIFE.

And it's everywhere now, games, commercials, and soon probably movies (if it isn't already).

But hey, BOTH SIDES right?

You stupid motherfuckers for not understanding you should all have gone scortched earth with this woke crap.

There was a time when I was more sympathetic to conservative conerns over SJW (this was before the term "woke" took off) preachiness and naivete. I agree it doesn't make much sense for everywhere to be a diverse, multi-ethnic hub straight out of a corporate DEI program. But then I ran up into the thing that presumably turns off every other educated person off when they try to deal with conservative thought. Conservatives are fucking luddites. Like say you're a geologist who believes in traditional family values but you're also studying groundwater reservoirs and notice current agricultural practices are exploiting the resource too rapidly which will lead to poor crop yields and sinkholes in a decade or so. If you try to point this out to a conservative, they will call you a woke soyjak and invent conspiracies for why your data was fabricated by Soros in an effort to use regulatory standards to pacify and control the population. At that point your cultural concerns become secondary to the fact that a buch of moronic hicks are going to destroy the local industry and then beg for bailouts all the while never even realizing that their own dumbassery caused the problem in the first place.

You have to keep in mind that conservatives rely on the exact same propaganda apparatus as liberals for the bulk of their programming. Stupid shit is injected into their personal cultural programming just the same. Also good to recognize that non-retarded shit is furiously gatekept away from the public especially when it comes to conservatives, as that is where the establishment has seen the only possibility of threat to their domination coming from.

If Americans had been allowed to actually dissent or organize into political parties without permission, if the ideology of post-WW2 democracy wasn't such a joke, guys like William Luther Pierce and Wilmot Robertson would be standing in place of Ronald Reagan et al - but men of their stellar caliber were effectively banned from society more than half a century ago, specifically to prevent anything worthwhile from ever being possible to sprout other than controlled opposition wank.

Hell, even the stereotype of 'moronic hicks' ruining everything is a retarded meme, another trite hollywood cliche, installed via propaganda, as those types - poor white people, those with zero power and say, just like poor people everywhere - don't make the decisions, they don't run things - they barely even exist as that exact cliche other than a shadow puppet given to liberals to make them feel morally superior (that is a weirdly solid part of post-ww2 western culture). There is not US state that allows establishment opposition agency. Any substantial vestiges of that were rooted out by the early 1990s at the latest.

You don't like that culture is retarded? Thank the current western establishment, as they've ruthlessly guarded the pipes from which information flows, from which culture is formed, since a decade before WW2.

Really everyone is retarded, and that is by design (I don't want to be rude, but your generic NPC spiel there is a shining example). For example try talking to someone from the Bay area about why their shitholes are such shitholes, and you'll hear the most anti-scientific religious claptrap idiocy you've ever heard. "We need to add 50 story highrises! And import 30 million indians! Housing crisis solved! Homelessness and crime? Less discipline, less law, more hugs and free drugs! Wait, why has my car been broken into 30 times this week? Moronic hicks did this!"

Screw the Starfield haters! I have a big ship, a ranger's badge, and a girlfriend who's like fifteen years older than me! I'm living the dream!

New choice: "You look just like my mother. Will you read me a bedtime story?"

Phantom Liberty will be a breath of fresh air after Starfield. I'm really looking forward to it now.

Starfield combat and environmental interaction is even less meaningful than a 720p Zelda game that runs on smartphone hardware. The engine limitations cannot be waived away this time. It is a decade out of date and is just plain pathetic.tstar

I thought you said BG3 was going to beat it. Not sure why they're counting "sales" of a free to play game though.

I think it is called anime or something like that.

As far as I know, it shows revenues, so for example CS generates a lot of them on skin trade.
Another thing is that BG3 came out over a month ago, which means that at the moment it is not selling as well as at the premiere.

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

Just did a really awesome quest with the Crimson Fleet. Easily the most engaging "RPG" quest I've done so far.

Finally got a new ship and it came with a white person who has a tremendous work ethic. Real go getter that guy.

Alright, this is genuinely quite sweet. Refreshing change of pace after BG3's disappointing "romance" that was all casual sex, kinky jokes, and offensive pornographic shit.

What is the point of having 5 dialogue options if you have to be a beta male in every one? This game was literally made by incels who don't know how to talk to women.

Yeah, romance should not be romantic but kinky casual video game sex like in BG3—a game made by and for alpha males such as yourself—who unlike the pathetic beta male sheeple that idealise loving, healthy, and committed long term relationships like in past eras of human history, have instead had their sexualities shaped from a young age by porn, marketing, and propaganda to revolve around sexual sadism and that great ideal of Dark Triad traits.

Don't worry, there is AI voice acting now and modders who are similarly unknowingly broken and capable of writing dialogue the way you talk IRL.

I'm not sure what you're going off the rails about but in BG3 you can have both. There are touching dialogue options in that game as well as more lustful ones. It's called having a choice.

You are talking with literal retards who were buckbroken by a bear sex scene that was meant to be humorous.

Hold on a second, the video doesn't match the statement, what the fuck is going on here? The clip shows her flying through the planet, sounds like someone should've set up collision bounds in orbit, but you can fly around a star system from one planet to another? 'Cause there's a big difference between "you can only freefly in orbit" and "you can freefly between planets, it'd just take you extremely long to do it." Or does it mean you can fly from the fast travel point to that planet?

I thought you said BG3 was going to beat it.

Him saying it is nice and proper. The rest get drug sniffed at the airport.
