Starfield

[dallahan]

also not worth $70

no digital game is worth anything above 60

digital games should be forcefully stuck at 50€ and not more, anything else is a scam

 

[dallahan]

man am i glad for the refund feature

70€ for this game ain't worth it, let alone 99€

aye it should a quarter of that price
even more so if bethesda is getting imagine dragons to make fucking songs out of it

Starfield needed at least 2 more years of development before it released given the state of it lol

If I had held my breath for Starfield and been genuinely excited I would've been so sad right now for real

 

[dallahan]

the one thing that i thought would be redeeming for starfield, open world starship flying, isnt even part of it

flying your ship is literally skipping the most interesting bits

flying your ship

so glad I kept my expectations minimal. guess I'll pick it up in a year or two when it's 20 bucks and some guy living on energy drinks and adderall has made a functional seamless ship mod

that's not really the only issue, of course. but I'm sure plenty of other mods will exist to fix the rest of the issues if they haven't already been patched

Contrary to popular belief though, you can actually do all the flying without needing to go into the menus. And honestly, they've been clear it wouldn't be NMS-tier for a year or more now.

Idk, I'm having fun. Its Skyrim in space, a new IP. That's really all I expected.

thats not what i meant

im talking about being able to fly your ship on the planet you want to land on, land yourself and take off yourself

not all it being a cutscene, taking away the fun

i couldn't imagine paying 20 euros more than skyrim on release for the exact same game but in space - bugs and lack of polish included

not to mention that the game really feels like it should be in early access

because of this

All Bethesda games are buggy on launch tbh. That's not to say its acceptable, but its been that way since Oblivion - and, imo, its a fun game. Its a Bethesda RPG. Really the only knock is not being able to wander off in one direction in the same way as Skyrim.

But I also used to play Elite Dangerous though and thank fuck I'm not expected to fly 30 mins IRL with no way to skip anything just to reach another planet lol

ONE. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. RABID.

 

[dallahan]

my honest reaction when i refunded it

 

[Rabid]

NO I KNOW I'm just saying that, in my experience, this is the least buggy Bethesda launch I've seen lmao - and its objectively fun.

If you like it, and including the mod support, you're gonna be playing it a very long time.

I'm sorry but this just sounds like an elaborate cope

Shocker, Bethesda releases yet another unfinished and mid game in comparison to what they actually could produce if their games matched their reputation at the release of skyrim

Like I said, I'm enjoying myself. I've had one fairly obvious bug in my entire playtime and no crashes but I also literally and unironically did not expect more than "Bethesda make a Bethesda game" like they've done since 2006 across five releases.

I didn't buy into the huge hype train behind it and knew what I'd be getting.

Skyrim in space? Let me know when they make The Witcher 3 in space 😎

I will concede that the main cities' atmosphere are amazing and the artists did a great job with the immersion and artwork for them. Even rivaling some of the star citizens' cities. Neon and New Atlantis are two of my favorites. The gunplay I also had a lot of fun with and the guns have various effects which I enjoy. Skill tree I'm kinda mixed on but It's at least somewhat creative. Although they shot themself in the knee (pun intended) with some abilities straight up restricting features such as a stealth bar. So the game can feel pretty restrictive in the first few hours depending on your playstyle.

But the problem is THE PRICING. It's a marketing strategy and one that is going to be plaguing the industry as people blindly support it, especially cause this game will show it works. People will still buy $70-100 games with DLC on top of that eventually. People should have better standards than "The modders will fix it" You aren't paying the modders you are PAYING BETHESDA.

I still think it's a fun game despite its many flaws and I'm glad people are having fun with it, but it could have been so much better and the practices it incorporates are textbook videogame marketing. Proving once again that as long as you have the marketing budget you don't have to try too hard.

Todd does it again.

One thing I appreciate about the skill tree is it forces you to use what you want to get better at, even if its in basic-bitch ways like "kill 10 enemies with this gun" lmao

this game seems divisive as fuck
everyone I've spoken to either loves it or hates it

i think there was an expectation problem leading into the game's release
