I dont know why exactly but after this video i have the urge to play oblivion for the 100th time

“What got you into KZfaq?” “My sheer hatred for this game: Starfield.”

These days I mostly enjoy Bethesda games in form of negative reviews. In that sense I could still say, they bring me hours upon hours of entertainment. Great review, lots of good and original points.

Japantown in Cyberpunk alone clears every single city and location in this game lol

Bro hated this game so much that started a whole career out of it 😂😂 this was such a great analysis/review like every detail that you mention it really shows you have a great way to explain the things that you enjoy/ not enjoy. Having a list of games that you can play instead or to have similar vibes or that do it better is such a nice detail to have in the video and I really welcomed that. Instantly subscribe and very impressive for your first video I can't wait for your next analysis/review keep up the great work

15:26 One very easy way to solve the crafting being essentially useless, would be special recipes that could result in weapons and armor that could only ever be crafted, basically enemies, misiones, and quests, could have a rare chance of dropping blueprints for crafting items that can’t be found anywhere else other than crafting. Let’s say you pick up a blueprint that lets you make a massive plasma hammer or something, the only way to ever get a plasma hammer is to craft it, sure it will eventually get outclassed and become worthless, but you can make it and use it for at least a handful of levels before you fined a replacement.

I'm about to blow your mind: There is no side quest where you bring Sam's daughter books. She has dialog asking for books, yes. But there is no quest, there is no interaction, and there is no way to actually give her a book. You misremembered that, maybe confusing it with a different quest where you bring a kid on Mars some comic books. Or maybe you assumed there was a quest there based on the voice lines. But I assure you, it doesn't exist. Probably cut content. The missing book quest is a bit of a controversy among Starfield fans.

This was excellent, you hit all the games ridiculous game world inconsistencies and more. Hard to believe that this poorly planned and thought out game took 5+ years with the final product being so bad.

Speaking of house varuun - how much you wanna bet that in the upcoming DLC, just like in the base game, the background trait "serpent's embrace" will influence 2 things: jack and shit?

Small nitpick that honestly bothered me more than it should have: Vasco recognizing and voicing your name is not novel. Codsworth did that in Fallout 4.

Good shit Subbed and hope you keep putting out bangers

Good stuff, really enjoyed that. A lot of work went into it as well, impressive effort. Appreciate the video bro will subscribe to see more. Yeah I hated Starfield so bad, because of the thrown away potential at every turn as well. I doubt DLC's will ever fix it up, buut the IP could work in a sequel. Just it needs to be far less samey and predictable, and better in design imho.

If you take away all the things that made New Vegas and Skyrim great, You're left with Starfield.

What do you mean you are already at the top? Brother you can still get a rtx 4090 and a threadripper 7995wx lol. My new favorite genre of videos are starfield analysis videos.

criminally underated

This man's smiting ability is top notch. Recommend subbing or he'll do a review on you next. Good stuff man.

You sir get the title of the Starfield rant OVERLORD!! 🥇 This has to be the single most interesting rant I've come across, and believe me, I consider myself a connoisseur of the genre when it comes to critiquing Starfield. I've seen every lengthy analysis, every deep dive, every pointed critique out there. But this-this takes the cake.

We live in a world where Skyrim, a game that was made years ago, is a much better experience than StarField.

Really solid video.

Every Bethesda game used to be an insta buy for me. Ever since Fallout 76 thats changed, they are not fooling me again. I had high hopes for SF but i'm happy I didnt buy it at launch (or all for that matter). I'm sorry you had to go trough playing that obvious abomination.

Dude. Amazing first video. I was flabbergasted when I got to the end and you "revealed" that you just started the channel. Would love to see more analysis like this!

Great video. I appreciate your presentation and methodology. You also have a nice speaking voice, it has a pleasant quality to it. I hope to see much more from you.

Great analysis! I have over 400 hours in Starfield, but most of it was time spent in the ship editor. Only feature I really like. The rest is abysmal. Before the game released I fantasized about a game that doesn't really have one of Bethesdas boring main quests and instead concentrates on lore and worldbuilding - something they are really good at, even in Fallout 76. But as you said, the game lore is wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. And this is something I just can't stomach anymore. Bethesda is finished for me.

"Like that tomato you stole" LMAO 🤣

Great stuff man. Maybe adjust the audio a bit, your voice gets drowned out at times

The "background" music is incredibly distracting. I was unable to enjoy this video like it should be. Everything else except the music volume seems great.

"So I could just walk into New Atlantis, slaughter everyone, go to the next town, pay the bounty, and be fine? What?" Repeat after me, a crime with a fine as the only punishment is only illegal for the poor. xD

Absolutely agree with everything you said, the only difference is, I just uninstalled it after about 9-10 hours of suffering, and I did not start a KZfaq channel lol :D you earned my sub :D

i'd say crit chance is nowhere near important as encumbrance. in fact there's a lot of games that just don't tell you what crit chance is. i'd rather have it displayed, but personally i'm fine with just not having crits at all in my games, unless they're like DMC where they're skill-dependant rather than luck-dependant.

Great review, thanks man!

Sooooo creamy

Bethesda made 2 good video games in their entire career...at most. Bethesda fans got the game they deserved and anyone who has any hope or hype for TES 6 is ignorant beyond belief

💯💯💯

Why would you play this game for over 100 if you hate it so much?

Thing abt the performance: My card is a 6600xt, supposed to be a 1080p powerhouse of a card giving 100+fps in any title at high or above, and starfield kneecapped my pc to like 40fps... Now I ask you, FOR WHAT??? Rdr2 looks and is miles above this garbage muddy textured mess and runs in the easy 60+fps?? So wtf is Starfield doing that it needs so many resources??

Outstanding mate! Best critique of Starfield I have heard yet, and I've watched at least 10 to 15 of these. I've played every Bethesda game (especially NV, FO3 and FO4). I kinda always knew they were empty, pointless and mindlessly juvenile, and how white-bread, hollow and stupid the main stories are; specifically in Fallout 4. That being said, the game still possessed just enough strangeness and sci-fi apocalypse character to keep me interested and exploring all the little nooks and crannies. And I did like meeting all the odd (but shallow and pointless) NPCs. ( But I would always restart the game before finishing the main story quest). Overall it held my interest enough for me commit 100s of hrs playtime. Plus 100s of hours playing all the other fallouts after #3, and Skyrim too. I want to thank you for explaining in perfect detail why fallout 4 sucked ass. As I was watching and rewatching your well made presentation, it dawned on me that I could basically plug in fallout 4 stories , themes, main characters and overall scenarios into all of your analysis and critiques, and you were basically describing why fallout 4 gobbled donkey balls. I haven't had the urge to play any Bethesda game in many years. I skipped FO76 and will not be giving Microsoft any money to DL Starfield. I sit back and watch all the Starfield review videos and have a warm glow inside knowing that at least one public facing corporation is having to hear from people they crap on regularly. Maybe just maybe, someone in Bethesda/Microsoft (and I wish most other corporations) will catch a hint as to how we feel about the catastrophicly shitty products and services they offer. Cheers brother, keep speaking truth. I subscribed.

Nice theme tune. Shame about the lazy flawed concept and bugs.

1:08:18 wait, people generally frame their whole lives around a purpose? I thought that was just a weird trope in media, I never thought it was something real people actually do...

The music is too loud, your voice can be barely heard.

Great video with based opinions 😎

Interesting video but if I can point out one thing it would be this. The background music is sometimes significantly louder than your voice. In addition, the tone of your voice is quite monotonous, which makes listening boring and difficult

Good video. Although I bursted out laughing when you recommended people to play Mass Effect 3 before the 2 first games in the series. That's in my opinion a Terrible idea. Mass Effect 1 gives you allot of context to the world, and Mass Effect 2 is one of the best written RPGs ever made. The third game concludes the story, that begins in the first game, and is in my opinion, the worst of the trilogy. Also Mass Effect 1 came out the year after Oblivion, another game you recommended. And I think it is a much more modern game, in terms of mechanics, than Oblivion is. Plus there's the whole Savefile transfer between all the Mass Effect games, that will give you the best experience overall.

Cant even say it was crunch or $$ these decisions were made to purposely make the game worse.

So much of what you said is completely false or just nippaking and whining. I could make a list of everything but wow. I would be here for days writing a two page essay.

I disagree about suggesting that first two mass effects are hard to get into(unless you're a baby or something). If you gonna play it - you have to start with the first one or everything else won't have the same narrative impact. You won't care about those awesome followers as much and won't have personal history with them. Otherwise a great video! Appreciate using lots of Oblivion soundtrack😄 Edit: Also about robot saying your name - Codsworsth in Fallout 4 says many names including some obscenities. Fallout 4 has the best bethesda companions imo. They use animation markers, react to your actions and the world and are better fleshed out than Starfield ones. I think they started evolving their companions with Serana in Skyrim, got better in fallout 4 and then went completely stale and lazy in Starfield

6:47 looks Ugly.

So Bethesda actually managed to correctly describe a libertarian/neoliberal society: The Freestar Collective?

Wish I could refund this crap . And I bought on sale at 29$
