Starfield Thread - now with Shattered Space horror expansion

you can probably beat the entire game without realizing you can land ANYWHERE on a planet

No you can't. Planets aren't real. You can change the cell and reset the random generation.

there are absolutely times where you need to scan a fish and none of the existing POIs are close enough to reach water. you do actually have to explore the environment in very rare situations. obviously the reason none of the mechanics are explained is because even bethesda didn't know just how much was cut from the shipped product, so they couldn't create a tutorial, hence why there are still tooltips about Helium that do nothing

 

[Yosharian]

What the FUCK? I had 100 hours and didn't know you could make new LZs. How would anyone ever figure this out? No wonder reviewers didn't like the fucking game, none of the mechanics are even implied to exist in the first place. It's almost like you should have included a FUCKING MANUAL

This is what everyone asked for. "The newer games are too casual and hand-holdy! Let me figure out the game systems on my own!" That's almost certainly why they didn't invest much into surface maps and why the story is very slow and self-directed. I think a lot of people need to get off their high horse and acknowledge they enjoy at least some convenience features.

Nobody asked for a shitty/non-existent map for a city district designed by monkeys. It's not about convenience, it's about competence.

I tried doing scanning minigame for a little while and then decided it is pointless waste of time in a game that is already a waste of time.

 

[Konjad]

Starfield is so deep and complex that even 'dexers can't figure out its systems after 100+ hours of gameplay. Todd's genius and foresight strikes again. People just criticize Starfield because they don't understand it and do not realize it actually gets really good after 2,000 hours in.

Is there any point to mining, either? I've never done a research project because the only equation I need is bullet+face

That's because they haven't reached New Game+ 5 where Todd comes out and explains that the first few runs were just to waste your time.

they should have marketed Starfield like the Sims, female landwhales would love decorating a spaceship and fucking their boyfriends on it in front of Cora

honestly the game is basically a harem anime in space, how could it not sell?

Inspired by space itself, Bethesda Game Studios and composer Inon Zur collaborate on bringing Starfield’s universe to life.

From the moment the game starts with the main theme, “Into The Starfield,” to the closing notes of "A Home in the Galaxy," Starfield’s score embodies the notion of exploration, mystery and the wonder of space. Taking inspiration from the natural world and the synthetic, Inon Zur’s emotionally dynamic and epic score pushes the creative boundary of sci-fi themed orchestral music.

that's not true at all. in Globo Homo, great music is illegal for being counter-revolutionary. why do you think Destiny 1's soundtrack Music of the Spheres NEVER CAME OUT

 

[Lemming42]

Not reading the thread but just swinging by to ask if there's any good mods yet. Is the Creation Kit out or are they still fucking everyone around?

starfield radio mod with willy kino is kino. rest of the mods became redundant when bethesda added some survival mechanics. problem is any mods that are created now to add fuel costs or environmental hazards will just get broken when Shattered Space comes out

 

[PlayerEmers]

About the creation kit, my bet is that they will release it when the DLC is ready. They probably dont want people to get mad at them for breaking mods after updates/new dlc (just like fallout 4 and next gen updade a few weeks ago)

 

[Lemming42]

They've really messed this up, the CK should ideally have been ready at release to let people use the game as a modding platform like Skyrim is. I can't imagine there's gonna be much interest by the time the DLC comes out unless it goes viral for being the best thing Bethesda have ever made or something.

 

[KeAShizuku]

So instead of trying to storyfag this game they're opting once again for the Minecraft crowd.

Probably a good call the world building was too shit to be salvaged.

 

[ind33d]

What's the deal with randomly becoming hydrated and fed without manually eating? Is my character automatically consuming items from his inventory? I don't know if it's bugged or not.

Same with health damage, 90% of my health bar is oranged out even though I went to the doctor and also took Panacea and a bunch of meds. Very weird

It definitely feels like the extreme environments weren't playtested on max difficulty, I can barely survive long enough to reach the first POI and run back to my ship. Which is fine, I guess, since at least it makes the game somewhat challenging

[ind33d]

at least half of the questlines in starfield are great, why does everyone want to hatefuck it?

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

The questlines proper in Starfield are far from "great", but they at least manage to surpass the typical miscellaneous quests by virtue of drawing to some extent on actual science-fiction (the United Colonies and pirate questlines) or westerns (the cowboy-faction questline). The main quest rarely does the same, however. There's an interesting comparison in the miscellaneous quests between the one in which the player-character shifts between parallel realities and the typical sort of quest; although gameplay in the former is still the same dull combat against just two types of enemies (aliens in the reality where the base has been devastated; robots in the reality where the explosion was contained), the SF inspiration manages to generate some degree of atmosphere and immersion that carries the player through the quest. The more typical quests are fetch quests, or handling office politics, or other nonsense that could just as easily have been placed in any other setting and does nothing to distract the player from the dull gameplay.

Minecraft is legitimately a good game if you install one of the many modlists on the Technic launcher
