I was asked by Bethesda not to cover spoilers, so the only information I reveal are my feelings or things seen in the already released trailer and gameplay from a few months back. Don't worry, there's SOOOOO much I'm leaving out of this review in terms of story elements.

what PC specs do you have and what resolution were you running, you didn't specify either in performance/bugs section it would be helpful to draw some comparisons thanks.

Thanks for this video! Any chance you'll do a compare/contrast video with Star Citizen now that Starfield is released? I know they're essentially completely different games in a lot of ways, but I think those differences are worth pointing out along with their similarities because I'm certain the Venn diagram of people who would enjoy each game has a lot more overlap than people might think.

Naw. 50+ hours in, and loving it. Having a total blast. I agree with Morphologis, it’s special. I think it’s divisive because BGS wasn’t trying to appeal to everyone with this game. They made a game for those who really enjoy BGS games. Not for fans of shooters, or space sims, or GTA. Sure there are a few bugs (nothing game breaking), but overall it’s fantastic and I haven’t enjoyed a game this much since… Baldurs Gate 3! 😂

I second that. No other person I'd want to review Starfield than Morphologis, cuz he has a respectful sort of reverence. Like, he doesn't yuck other people's yum for clicks. Instead, he sees the beauty in things. In turn, that makes him just as beautiful. He is my favorite content creator.

Reply to introduction. I can probably speak for all of us by saying, no. Thank YOU! You're a rare creator. Every video you make is a piece of art. It's not just entertaining. It's beautifully narrated and/or written, beautifully shot and edited. There's so much care and attention to detail in every second of your videos! There's a lot of good creators. But you are one of the greats! I'm surprised you weren't invited to do something like this way waaaay sooner.

It sits as proof that you just cannot please everyone. If you take the time to do everything, people complain that your game is taking too long, if you compromise on things so you can ship a completed game within a decade (Bethesda registered "starfield" in 2013, and serious development started in 2015, so starfield is really only a couple years behind SC in dev time, and they started out with an engine that already did a large portion of what they needed it to). I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the people complaining about what is missing from Starfield also complain that SC is taking too long, lol.

@FlesHBoX 11 ай бұрын

Great review. Factual and objective, with the right amount of opinions. Can’t wait to get this game. I’ve held off getting an Xbox Series X for a long time- sure having RDR2 playing a better graphical / frame rate would be great, I don’t play video games like I did growing up. I’m also focused more on single player open world games. Skyrim, FO4, RDR2, and the occasional jump into Halo games- my (very original) Xbox One has proven a great console since the upgrade from the 360. I haven’t been given a good reason since launch of the new consoles to go immediately suck one up. This game will be the reason I move forward into gaming technology and I can’t wait to spend countless hours delving into the universe. It could t have come at a better time either with cold weather season right around the corner, and all my outside projects coming to a close. Thank you for the great review!

Thanks, as typical, an excellently produced and presented video review; you're doing some of the best videos and it really shows. That's showing as 3840 x 1600 at 60 FPS on my screen; I don't know if that's a real ultrawide with extra width, or if it's a cropped 4K with the top and bottom cut off. That look is certainly trendy with videos, and it is cinematic for sure, but in cinema they use anamorphic lenses to capture the format, whereas the post production version of that is just cropping the frame to look similar. I haven't decided yet if that's OK or not.

The game is huge, and I realised this when I was doing a side quest and needed a digipick. I looked around and realised I needed more loot. Love it!!!
