Starfield is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. In the game, the player character joins a group of space explorers who must venture to various corners of the galaxy to acquire mysterious artifacts. The game features an open world in the form of an area within the Milky Way galaxy, containing both fictional and non-fictional planetary systems.
Starfield takes place in a space-themed setting, and is the first new intellectual property developed by Bethesda in 25 years. It was described by director Todd Howard as "Skyrim in space". Like Bethesda's previous games, it was powered by the Creation Engine, though it was heavily modified to accommodate the game's procedural generation system. Active development of the game started following the release of Fallout 4 in 2015.

i prefer the cinematic camera from FO4 as you can move around in dialogue and not be stuck in conversation, but i also prefer the player voice, i know that's controversy and all, but seriously who the hell was stupid enough to take away the player's voice? honestly i know the answer, it was bethesda boomer gamers who made that choice, but for one who liked the player having a voice this comes off as a bethesda game when there is a silent protagonist, "thanks guys for keeping this game in the stone ages of gaming", it's not at all like all the good games out there who provide this aspect like normal conversations. to be honest Bethesda should really delegate this aspect to player choice like every other thing they added to this update, everything would be better off if it was up to the player in any of their games.

@@jaskajokunen6538 that's actually a great idea if they can pull it off, but i would think it would need to be randomized to make it feel a bit more fresh in some cases. bethesda really need to make far more asset builds so there is a hell of a lot more variety in the bass locations they have in this game. i mean if your going to make a game as open as this and this kind of scale, not every planet would look the exact same, and i'm also including things like the assets of buildings and such, but to much of this stuff was wasted on the procedural generation that it made the whole game mostly boring. they just did a far better job of this idea in their past games, sure they were smaller world spaces but the worlds were packed full of all kinds of things that made it interesting, this is just so damn limited. to be honest they could have fixed some of this idea by limiting the planet count even further, to something like 30 planets, it would still have plenty of room for all kinds of crap, but it would feel a lot less boring as the result because each planet could have been far more unique and a lot less of the same crap.

For a game like this, I totally agree. At least, if I understand correctly what kind of game this is, I don't have it. Even just 10 planets would be great, if packed with content and exploration. Have it set in a single solar system. A huge number of planets works for games like No Man's Sky. Not that No Man's Sky isn't flawed, but it's a game that wouldn't benefit from being smaller without fundamentally changing what kind of game it is.

The problem with Starfield, apart from outdated engine and all the problems resulting from it, is the fact that Bethesda plays it safe. Just look at Cyberpunk - despite its issues the guys who made Cyberpunk are not afraid to be creative. The cutscenes are dynamic. The same goes for dialogues. While having a conversation with NPC we see them walking, sitting, doing other stuff. It looks natural and creates a believable illusion of a real world. As of writing, Cyberpunk touches many adult themes, the characters use foul language, scream, shout, chatter, tell jokes, etc while Starfield is like a family friendly sitcom from the 90s. It's so safe on every level. I am not an English native speaker but I hope you got my point.

Picked a new star and a random planet.. landed and the FIRST place I find was the EXACT same science facility, same science notes and same scientists who wrote the notes, same skeleton on the cot. .. I was like what the hell?! Killed it for me.. not to mention exploring "space'' is like playing forza motorsports but you only get to drive the cars in a CVS parking lot. The took all the best qualities of a space game, and left them out of this one. I'm dumbfounded how anyone is obsessed with this game and defend its quality like it's their own child

Starfield has run into the same problem that earlier broad-scale space sims like Elite Dangerous have faced; the only practical method to populate the +1000 planets you have created is to rely on pre-made and procedurally generated content. Unfortunately, the desire to explore is effectively killed when you encounter the same abandoned listening post that is inhabited by the same number to Crimson Fleet pirates three times in a row.

Starfield feels like Bethesdas game design philosophy taken to its final conclusion. Every game post-morrowind (I’m sure daggerfall enthusiasts would say before this even) gets a little more shaved down, and unlike past bethesda games it doesn’t have an already established world to use as a crutch to hide the flaws.

Starfield’s got its problems and I’m by no means a stan, I gave up on it months ago, but I will say I considered it to be less shaved down than Fallout 4. At least you had dialogue choices that weren’t just three ways of saying yes and one way of saying no, and at least you could pick background traits and classes that would still occasionally come up in dialogue later. It was no Baldur’s Gate 3 or any other modern RPG really, but I unironically thought Starfield was at least better in RPG mechanics than 4 was. 4 went way overboard with the settlement building too, to the point that it felt like building your own settlements was there just to hide the fact that they only made like 2 major settlements with actual stories and named NPCs. That’s slightly worse than Starfield’s 3 major cities and dozen or so scattered space villages IMO If ES VI has Starfield’s RPG mechanics but with Skyrim’s openworld design I’ll consider it the best thing modern day Bethesda is realistically capable of and be… fine with it

Revisiting Skyrim made me realize why it has such a lively modding scene, making the game essentially immortal - there is this handcrafted world, rich with lore and locations, which modders can piggyback on. For example, Gods and Worship builds on existing temples, quests and NPC to give you an all-encompassing religion experience. Or Song of the Green involves you taking Auri to see all those beautiful locations Skyrim has. I just don't see any of that being possible in Starfield, where modders only have barren planets and 1,5 caves to work with.

@MaMastoast 16 күн бұрын

Id argue that Skyrims modding scene was a natural evolution of the modding scene in past Bethesda Games. There was no shortage of mods way back in Morrowind either. The general lack of interest in Starfield modding is fairly depressing. I will we will see how much it blossoms once the actual modding tools are released. I guess there is something to be said for fantasy generally being more mod friendly than sci fi, but even so.

My problem with Starfield is that strictly speaking there are no planets, no space travel, only instance 'dungeons'. Also while almost every planet has something little on it's surface "because that's how it is realistic", however for some reason, even on unexplored planets there are buildings by humans. How is it unexplored, if people already built on them? This is the basic stuff, there would be many more however it's announced as a game of exploration, while you have 0 chance to explore. I've played 319 hours with it in 3 months, there are good points to the game, but it becomes boring. With Newgame+ I've tried how many differences come in the game (story or quests) after 'reborning', but was underwhelming. I deleted it in October or November, waiting if they could make it enjoyable. I hope they can, also hoping the modders could make it better.

Fun is at the back of there mind money first fun second. It use to be fun first money second with older games they wanted to se how much good gamplay mechanics they could get into there game along with a good story. now money is the priority and making a good game is at the back of there mind they just wanna make it look good in trailers and show alittle bit of game play that makes it look incredible to get the sales up then ther game comes out and its nothing like advertised. thats the AAA industry today.

These sectors could be filled with space stations, asteroids and so forth. Basically turn space into a grid of large open areas with content instead of tiny glass bowls that only exist above planets... That way your ship would actually be used for space exploration If you want an idea of what i am talking about, have a look how travel works in the X series.

6:05 idk, man. I played a lot of Starfield when it first came out, 369 hours according to Steam, and I did a lot of exploring on planets. Yes they were largely empty however from what I recall, they were not as empty as that map makes them appear. Points of interest seemed to be spread around the maps because I'd only see some of them pop up on the HUD once I had gotten a fair bit away from my ship. It was almost always the case that if I took off running away from the ship, toward nothing, within a few minutes I'd have a point of interest pop up on the HUD somewhere ahead of me. I suspect this surface map you showed only shows points of interest once you've gotten close enough to them.

@deaconx 16 күн бұрын

Regarding the map: NEVER waste the players time. And with sci-fi planetary scanners, it makes sense that we can see where points of interest that aren't even tagged may be. However, this also gives modders a great chance to see the maps and start ADDING new stuff to these 'empty' worlds.

This "liberty" is what makes these games rich and complex. In Helldivers 2 the gameplay loop gets very repetitive (go to the HUB, choose a mission and a loadout, do the mission, collect your rewards, rince and repeat). Sure, the game came out fully done, functional and is very enjoyable but it is a really simple game compared to Starfield, Fallout and such.
