Finally a good review

Every game shaves off content to sell as dlc. Minimum viable product.

There is no DLC that could improve this game. It's not a cut content issue.

Ok guys I didn't listen to your advice about not pirating and 4 hours in my main quest is completely broken. Walter doesn't give me the mission I need to proceed after you get the artifacts. Holy shit, I hate bethesda. I don't get what this studio even does now, they have bugs, they have gameplay reminiscient of 2008 fps shooters, and they have the shittiest writing on earth. I hate that retards buy these games.

The game's memes certain correlate with the game's quality.

Emyrion has far more star systems and planets than Cottonfield can ever dream to have. On medium galaxy size you get about 10,000 planets in star systems.

people are saying SF is worse than launch Cyberpunk 2077. there's no way that's true. who is running these anti-Starfield shill campaigns?

a mix of bg3 fanboys who know starfield is going to take their precious GOTY away from them and sony fanboys who hate microsoft and are massively butthurt that Todd's MAGNVM OPVS won't be on their system.

Loving the Crimson Fleet questline. Going undercover as a psycho is hilarious, reminds me of that Star Trek TNG two-parter where Picard becomes a deeply unconvincing space pirate.

These faction questlines seem to have a bit of genuine reactivity and branching too, though obviously it could be mostly illusory as in the likes of Mass Effect.

That sounds good. Bethesda games are usually good for at least one side-quest series that's actually fun and interesting.
I wonder why they can never shift that energy into their main quests.

And before you go "wah wah he is betsheda hater" I was one of few dudes who defended F4 here. IT wasn't good rpg but it was pretty good sandbox looter shooter.

Something which Starfield isn't. So not only it is not great RPG but also it is not great sandbox XYZ either.

that's why everybody is saying you need to play the game more until it clicks

First: you and your other personalities are not "everybody".

Second: what you are saying essentially is: " play it until you like it" which is basically asking the person to brainwash themselves into liking something they don't.

playing a bethesda game at launch and complaining about bugs and mediocre gameplay is like banging your own sister and afterwards complaining about the retarded kids

I would hope so. Not a single video game I enjoyed has ever won GOTY. I would take that as a red flag. It would be in the same league as God of War (2018)

 

[Ben Zyklon]

aight guys I'm out of this thread, it's gonna be way too much noise and I'm burned out on writing

have a good launch and enjoy the game

oh and fuck the haters and fuck BG3, Starfield true goty

Yeah you better get out before more people come to the forum and the damage control becomes impossible and you face more people.

Coward.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

I didn't say it would, just pointing out the fact that every game does this these days. There are entire departments at every major studio who go into a game and look for stuff to remove and make into DLC.

Another - you can ignore whole systems - crafting, outposts, shipbuilding.

This is generally a good thing, I think. One big problem IMO with Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim was that the player couldn't really forge a career of their own, despite it being a very popular topic with modders. You couldn't be a trader, or a woodcutter, or a farmer or whatever, you had to be a murder-hobo.

For the first time since Daggerfall, it feels like Bethesda have actually made a game where you have some degree of control over your character's life and role in the world. Sadly the game doesn't have enough organic systems to let you actually be a space trader or a pirate or whatever in any convincing way, and you still end up a typical murder-hobo, but their approach of "here's a lot of different systems you might be interested in, feel free to build your character around the ones you find most appealing" its a big, big step in the right direction. If they learn the right lessons and keep on the same path, TES VI could benefit massively.

I think one thing modders could bring out is the potential that exists in the systems that are already in place, so that becoming a colony-builder or a trader or a xenobiologist become increasingly detailed, viable options.

This idiots that keep praising the game for something that can hypothetically can be modded in the game are truly fucking pathetic, you belong in a cult or in a circus, maybe both at the same time.

Crimson Fleet questline.

So you can't be a for real space pirate, only a pretend space pirate? Lame.

It appears that you can pick sides. I'll tell you about the first quest with a spoiler:

first quest

You're sent by the United Colonies to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet. Your contact within the fleet orders you to kill a defector, who is aboard a civilian medical ship.

You can choose to either attack the ship on sight, killing the entire crew, or board. If you board, you can convince the crew to kill the defector to save themselves, or turn him over to your custody.

Then you report back to the pirates and either truthfully say you carried out their orders, or lie to them and maintain your cover.

It appears to be continuing in this vein. I imagine the opportunity will arise at some point to go native and join the pirates for real.

You can also be an independent pirate, all civilian ships you hail in space have a "[Piracy] Surrender or be attacked" option.
