Nice review Josh! Love the perspective of a gamer rather than a huge company like IGN. Well thought out, great points and makes me excited to play the game! More than anything, hearing your point on how you've spent 80 hours playing just exploring and doing faction missions really shines, barely touching the main story and side quests. Been hoping this game was something I can sink my teeth into over time as I work a lot.

6:48 Have you ever played Star Citizen? BC I honestly came in this game hoping for a lot more exploration and was floored when i found all the boundaries and limits to this exploration. Its a loading screen simulator so far with limited area in the zone you land at to explore. In Star Citizen its zero loading screens at all, and full exploration of planets. That means if you want to take a month walking around a planet then do it. and you actually can fly your ships in and out of atmosphere and warp to other planets without loading anything. Yes Star Citizen gets a lot of negativity but thats from people that dont understand what "alpha game" means
@theJOSHfeed Жыл бұрын
The thing about Star Citizen, as ambitious as it as with all the greatness that could be, it's been in development for longer than a decade and it's heavily monetized. Sure, it's to help with development costs but at what point is it enough? The game has cost more than many of the largest triple A projects put together and it isn't released yet. It may be similar to Starfield in goals and ideas, but due to the dev cycle and cost it simply isn't comparable. At this point, Starfield is in a league of its own with its ambition that doesn't really seem will ever be met and even if it is, I'm so turned off by all of this that I'll likely never touch it anyway.
@NERDPotion Жыл бұрын
@@theJOSHfeed all this is valid :P i do have my fair share of complaints about SC, as well as anyone would. but even in its current stage facing all the bugs, crashes and such. there is still nothing like the ability to seamlessly travel without restrictions. for me at least thats the key to exploration. sure finding things is cool and all, but idk being restricted hurts the fun for me. I will still enjoy SF to the fullest i can. but there is still that disappointment lingering due to loading screens.
@theJOSHfeed Жыл бұрын
I dunno, I think stability and performance are a good trade to the idea of seamlessness in a game like this. I handled the loading screens in all the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games just fine and for some reason people call those games seamless but not Starfield. Starfield loads faster than previous games and you can skip a lot of animations by directly choosing things from the star map, I'm fine with it. To each their own of course, I just think a more grounded approach is good here.

Maybe actually playing it for a longer period of time opens up the better aspects of the game but from what ive seen of it so far (early access streamers) it looks incredibly boring and tedious regardless of difficulty setting. Several reviews ive watched have had similar "boring" experiences but i guess its all down to taste.
@theJOSHfeed Жыл бұрын
It has the same pacing as previous Bethesda games. You play the introduction, make your character, and within minutes from there you're able to do ANYTHING you want to do. I think maybe what you're watching is people choosing to play at a slower pace to learn the game, which is normal. I promise it isn't as tedious as you may think.

My monitor supports all the way up to 3840x2160, including 21:9 aspect ratios. It should support higher variants of that, but considering it automatically detects these capable resolutions it's something I don't see higher than that right now.

I don't know why you think that getting early access somehow changes my opinion on the game. I'm not going to lie about a damn video game my dude, there's nothing to gain from it. I enjoyed my experience and all of it is indeed a step up from earlier Bethesda games. Sorry you can't handle that.
@blakkelure Жыл бұрын
I'm just a nobody on the internet with a point of view. And there is no question that I have spend COUNTLESS hours playing the Fallout games so some might view me as a fanboy. But, from what I could gather and we both know I am not alone considering the game to be shallow. Did you really feel the RPG element of the game had any depth? Character progression? The combat? We seriously cant expect better combat? Other then "melee feels a little better"? The Jetpack does not make that experience any better either to be fair. Space exploration? You cant even orbit the planet you're on. You and me both know its a lot of wasteland with NO content. Yeah, we have both seen the videos where someone runs for 10 mins and didn't see a thing. I think that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a testament to what a game that's been in development for 10 years should be like. Individual NPCs with their own lives, and daily affairs. And I haven't even played Red for too long but I sure know its a game worth its money. I urge you to reconsider the review.. It will make you look like an absolute fool I think with the lack of critical thinking and demands for the future of games quality on release.

Surely it's not going to be for everyone. I look at it like this: having the choice to pursue the things I want to pursue are what make games like this great. Sure, there's the main story but I can also take time to just go look at other things whenever I want, even focus on it more than main story. It's not quite limitless, but the freedom to take on the aspects that you want to most is awesome.
