One of my biggest issues is that the world doesn't seem to react much to your decisions or background. I went through the entire SecDef/UC Vanguard story and eventually run into random SecDef ships fighting the Crimson Fleet. I save them and they didn't acknowledge, and I didn't get to explain, that I am both SecDef and Vanguard. Felt like none of the choices I've made so far really mattered or changed anything.

This makes me so happy after seeing yalls reaction from the first reveal.. I'm glad to know that you guys love it.

Been playing this since 1st. It's addictive and it's become my new Skyrim. I absolutely love it.

You guys nailed it. I love that it's a BGS space game and not a space sim game. It's what people like us like and what people like us want. Kudos, gents. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the other videos guys. My role playing in this game has been MUCH improved after finding just all these little things that I didn’t know before. My first few hours were pretty slow, not realising how the game worked. Now it’s much more immersive / enjoyable

I had literally zero expectations. Hell, I didnt even bother watching the gameplay videos... yet I loved it when I played it. And yeah, I actually fell in love with it immediately. The mystery took me in immediately.

Finally a KZfaq channel that actually knows what they are talking about been playing it since the midnight launch... I cant stop

I absolutely love this game. I actually kept my hype in check and didnt get very excited for Starflield. Picked it up 8/31 and havent put it down since. This game is really fantastic. 9.5/10

My ONE THING is they should let you fly your very cool and hard earned space ship over the surface like a flying mount. It can have massively reduced speeds or something

1 minor big thing i like about the planets is that there different biomes and not just star wars planets where the entire planet is 1 thing

I did the whole pirate quest before doing missions with constellation. Right after the first mission with sarah. When i got back and allowed her into my group, she still lectured me about "how I hurt the galaxy, by building up the pirates".

I remember that interview with Todd and he said it’s like a zen experience and I totally relate to that. I feel so relaxed running around the planet and my blood pressure actually rises when combat happens because I’m so relaxed while playing. I even started the first minute playing on very hard and still loved it. I’ve never played a game on the hardest difficulty and let my guard down and just looked at rocks lol

43:51 there 100% should be some cyberpunk-esque implants that make unarmed or melee in general more viable. Ryujin already sells like brain implants or whatever. Huge missed opportunity.

I like how Bethesda has taken ideas from various different games - their own and others - and adapted them into something that actually does feel new and fun, despite having a lot of familiarity. Skyrim skills and Fallout 4 perks have been merged in a way I really enjoy. Space combat feels like 3D, first-person FTL, or single-player Artemis Bridge Simulator. And so many similarities to No Man's Sky, in a great way - honestly, I feel like Starfield is Bethesda's response to the rough launch of No Man's Sky, leaving us now with two alternate, fun-for-different-reasons takes on the same idea. Hello Games took the original in one direction, Bethesda took their version in another, and now we get to play both.

Still haven't hit NG+ at 200+ hours and still enjoying myself. I got the "boots on the ground" achievement for setting foot on over 100 planets. While dynamic dungeons do repeat it tends to be rare to get the EXACT same layout (excluding caves). Even then I'd say I've found structurally identical bases maybe a dozen times. My head cannon is since they're mostly outposts from the colony wars and military doesn't vary design too much IRL it just works. I've noticed the random decorative lootable junk generation can change in some rooms even if the place looks the same structurally. I spent a good 20+ hours hitting up purely military bases even. My favorite is the ship modification facility it tends to have about 3 mini bosses and one real big boss with a very open outdoors layout.

I was not so interested in a sci-fi game and leery of BGS, but I wound up buying it based on reviews like yours. I have watched your content for years, so I was a bit confused when I saw reviews saying it was boring with shallow RPG. Glad I trusted you.. I am old and we are more patient with the idea that you have to learn how to play a game. I am OK with being incompetent for a bit. I had to replay that space combat tutorial many times. So I am really enjoying my playthrough . I agree that so far the writing is good, better than older Bethesda games for sure. I think this will be on of those games that you play over and over. Not for everybody. I think you are spot on about where some of the criticism is coming from. Rush to judgement.

I love it so far ngl. Hated the map at first bit it grew on me

Something that I haven't really heard anyone talk about is the face animations during dialogue. I find it so refreshing to not just have the same dead eyed responses.

i went in as someone who’s never played fallout or skyrim or anything like that, only got it because it was free on gamepass😂 but it only took me 10-12 hours to “get it” and really start enjoying the game to its fullest, and now i’m really hooked

Great video guys! Glad to see more content

Been fans of u two gents for ever now this is lit we all survived to starfield. Much luv my dudes keep doin the good work ❤

biggest gripe that I would really like changed by Bethesda so it doesn't feel outside the normal game play is bringing back the weapon and armor mod system from Fallout 4 where unequipped mods are treated as Items stored in your inventory that way If I get say a law giver with a great scope and a legendary law giver with great sniper effects i can take the scope off the plain one and put it on the legendary one without needing to invest points into weapon crafting.

I'm so jaded with people's comments on this game. It's a great BGS game. If you like Fallout or ES you're gonna love this game. I'm about 150 hours in and I'm still not done finding things. Unique things that still surprise me.

I love that bgs hired Elianora to make the spaces look used and lived in. It's phenomenal.

As someone with over 500 hours into fallout 4 and Skyrim and 0 in 76, when you guys said it was a good game, I bought it launch day, and played 50 hours I've loved every hour of it except for the first mission. The only thing I'm upset about is that there aren't as many random space encounters as I would like, but it is still a blast. Being a bounty hunter who became a space deputy and double agent is so much fun. Also, the fan is just what I need for random funny moments, and I still have him with me 50 hours later.

My biggest issue with Starfield is the lack of House Va'ruun, like there lore is amazing, there weapons look sick, why can I not join them.

My biggest problem is the bounty system go rob a ship gor the pirates and get a forty grand bounty with no one around to see your actions. Makes the pirates quest not worth doing. Everytime i jack a ship i het a massive bounty with zero witness. Whats the point if being a pirate you are always skint.

This feels very close to a podcast episode, starfield lore podcast?

I think the biggest issue I have with the game is how thin the content is spread, I believe Bethesda when they say that it has the most hand-crafted content out of every Bethesda game, but it's difficult to not feel a little frustrated when it's sprinkled over a thousand planets you have to slowly walk through without even a strong indication of where to find actually interesting things I still enjoy it, but I think it will be more of a platform for mods than a standalone game for me, even more so than Fallout 4 and Skyrim

Andreja is dope! But id like to know how many female npcs there are compared to male npcs, it seems off haha

The main problem I have is that the side quests aren't really that good, all the ones I've done are so dull.

I am thoroughly enjoying my “Skyrim in space.” Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect are two of my favorite RPG series, so, Starfield is giving me exactly what I want.

The general sentiment seems to be "the stuff that's hand-crafted is good" which I accept. However, if you can play the game wrong by doing unfun non-hand-crafted things, it does make me question why that portion exists in the first place. I don't think it's a bad game, but could it be a better one if it was smaller with more of a focus on hand-crafted content? Is there much that would be lost by reducing the scale?

I’m nearly 60 hours in, have not not even started doing the rest of the main quest, and have just spent the majority of the time flying around and searching for new places. Haven’t even been to Akila yet. I think where the game truly clicked with me was when I did the Trident cruiseship quest for the Crimson Fleet. It’s probably my favorite quest in the game so far. I’ve still got much more to see and do so that’ll probably change but that was the moment that I knew the game was special

Starting NG+, loving the game!

I’m only a little over 30 hours in at the moment and my biggest critics are things I think could easily be implemented in a quality of life update. Things like the ability to craft ammunition for weapons and upgrade the tiers of your weapons/armor (Base>Refined>Advanced>etc.) were all in previous Bethesda games so it definitely bummed me out they weren’t available in Starfield…

Got the game this past weekend and have been playing it non stop. Loved every second of it so far. I gotta say that the intro to the game was a little slow imo, but once you did the first mission and got access to the ship it got more enjoyable. Once the game opens up it’s a total blast. The main story is kinda boring imo but the side quests and faction missions are incredible. But honestly I’ve just been enjoying the space exploration, ship customization, and outpost management more than anything. Taking my time and enjoying the scenery of the planets. It’s been almost a cathartic experience for me.

I was given early access on PC for my birthday. I actually cannot play either Oblivion or Skyrim on my pc but I can play this for hours and hours. I am loving it and the 7 year old little girl from 1963 inside me who wanted to be a space explorer has come back to life and is having a wonderful time. The quests so far have been well crafted and the characters I have interacted with feel well fleshed out with history and background. There is still so very much I am looking forwards to finding over the next few years :D😛

I never felt so bored with a game in 2023 like this one.

No Vats - No Gore - No diving - Can't open Doors, defuse Mines, use Items... when in Scan Mode - Can't control jump height. NPCs can do that. A Charge up Meter is really needed on some Moons, or you fly off like a Rocket - Boost Packs not really suitable ever/meaning that you need different kinds of Boosters for different Situations but also you need Resistances against Korrosion, Air, Radiation, Bio, and somewhat level conforming Laser, EMP, Bullet Resistance = you need 12+ Boost Packs - Crafting and Building Copy Paste from FO4 but with worse placement control - Awful Controls overall. The game works on GamePad but you need your whole Keyboard if you choose to play on the Keyboard. Make ready to rebind 50 Keys and ignore Conflicts - Very few and lackluster Feats - You should start with level one on each Skill - Skills need to be way more "Exotic". ATM they are mostly "more DMG, can Craft, can buy, can fly - Item Feats are mostly useless and are Copy Paste from FO4 - Skill progression is mostly forgettable and unimaginative - EXP from discovering, Hacking, building, crafting is nearly not existent - Item Notifications gone after 1.5sec = can't check Stats = open Inventory - Carry Capacity sucks - You can't mark individual Items to look/track for - You can't undo all tracking Items - Inventory Menu sucks! StarUI Mod needed = modding mandatory or wasting hours unnecessarily - Can't use Cure Object in Affliction Screen. Again StarUI Mandatory - Not showing "Weather(Corrosion/Radiation...)" Conditions on Planet before landing- Map is awful - Quests send you to places you can't reach - Lifeless Planets are useless - Copy pasted Bases/Caves... no sign of prcedurally generated Locations - Often looking to Scan "Natural Wonder" that I already Scanned because it's not identifyable from the Picture - Planet Map shows 100% scanned even if it's not because of "Costal Area" - Escort Quests that have you travel 1000m+ for low reward - You can't ban Useless Items from Scanner - Rare/Legendary/Epic Items cause 2sec Game Freeze when Equiped and changing to Scanner or cyceling through Weapons - Space Combat at least unskilled at early Levels is pure Stats Game and often undoable because 3v1 - No feeling of actually flying through Space - You still get Stuck and can not jump when on angled Ground as in FO4/Skyrim/Oblivion... - NPC Money should be infinite or at least increased by 4x - Items you pick up/have in Inventory show the worth they have when you buy them from a Merchant, but they should show what they are worth to you, when you sell them - NPC standing on Pilot Seat so only 3rd Person Space Flight or piloting through gap between NPCs Legs - Enemies/Animals on Planet stacked in a Heap, so you think you will fight 3, but it ends up being 12 or more all stacked into one tiny Spot and into each other - Melee Combat as bad as it was in any other Bethesda Game (look what modders did to Skyrims Combat Animations) - Reloading gets Canceled by running and jumping - Typical Bethesda Bullet-Sponge Enemies - Typical run around/jump over Obsacles and slowly chip away their Health - In Ship flight you need to be able to make custom Presets for "Full Power Weapons, Grav Drive, Engines, Shields..." and bind them to F1-F4 or any other Key you choose - Needs City/Outpost/Other Listing on Star-Map to find the Locations + placement of own nameable Markers - Needs Button to stop Quests from coming in. I get 5 new Quests when running around doing one Quest. I don't know how I got the Quests. I don't know whom the Quests are from. I have no connection to them. - Finding Quests is a Nightmare. They need to be Structured much better. Time when Quest recieved/Location of Quest Giver/Near by Quests/Location of Quest/Radiant Quest... - Still can't go from Sneak to normal Mode whilst doing any other action / meaning Stealth play feels Crap. Sneak to someone with a Melee Weapon, hit them 1 time, wait for Animation to finish, press "Crouch" Key, wait for your Character to stand up, engage in Comabt. 1995... 19 F*cking 95!!! - I play the Game for 50h now and am Level 25 and still I find the same Fire Axe I found on Level 3 over and over 21 DMG - When on Map Screen, there has to be a Warning id you can not travel at this moment - I am SEETHING because I activated a Mission but the Game decided to not show me that Mission at all, but two other Missions I do not want to do - I decided to do one of the Missions to see what happens... I now got FOUR Map markers. WTF! And I am not allowed to activate even two Missions - Buy Back Disabled as soon as you leave Shopping Window - Can't pay debt from Dream Home Perk - Game does not tell you what Skills do until you unlocked the Line. That means that you can't work to a specific Skill and know it's effect - I managed to lock up the Menu by opening and closing it in quick succession. - Can't move after Loading-Screen, but the NPCs can - Crafting is a F*ing JOKE! You dump Skill points and Materials into upgrading but then you look at something like "You can now add a +5 Resistances Mod to Your Jump Pack". And that one costed me 2 Skill Points btw. No mention about that beforhand!

I get what you mean by you know the game is good so the hate doesn't get to you as much, but the fact that it's now almost the same steam review score as fallout 76 is just bewildering to me. It's like I'm playing a completely different game then they are. I also had zero expectations about this game, I was not excited for it in the least. It feels almost like people wanted to hate this game from the get go.

I liked Starfield a lot. It did have some disapointements but for what it is I think its great. I wish they had made major scale restrictions in favour of having it more fleshed out. Ten systems would have been more than enough.

250+ hrs on first and only play through so far. I’ve played every side quest I could find with only a few bugged too much to finish. I completed all companion stories and had 2 relationships. I’ve earned millions of credits, built 2 outposts, acquired and/or built multiple ships and much more. It took a minute to get into but I’m so glad I gave it a chance 👍🏼

57:56 I strongly disagree. In arcade games, when you unlock a double jump, it has a purpose; you will probably unlock a new map - Castlevania style. The game is designed this way for a purpose. In Starfield, it's as if we lack creativity for the skill tree, so let's just lock everything in the game behind a skill tree. Great that you mentioned the NV power armor perk; you get that perk by completing the Brotherhood questline, NOT through a perk tree. In Fallout 4, we have 3 perks that are basically essential (guns, armor, and tech gun mods), and they are used in part for settlement building. But here in Starfield, a lot of cool things are behind a perk: jetpack, pickpocket, sneak, crafting, outpost, scan a planet without 2/3 loading screens, drive a better ship, ship VATS, build a better ship (this doesn't make any sense; you go to an NPC ship builder and you need the MONEY and PERK. It's like going to a car mechanic and he says: 'No, to repair your car, it costs X, and I want to see your mechanic engineer certificate.'). Like you mentioned the jetpack in real life, I don't know how to use a firearm in real life, so applying the same rule, why should your character with a professor or diplomat background know? I think we should lock firearms/tech guns behind a perk tree too (just joking). A lot of these things could be items or unlocked in some other way. Scan a planet without 2/3 loading screens? Upgrade your ship's sensor. Jetpack perk? Hey, welcome aboard Constellation. Here, let me show you (tutorial) how to use basic things like a jetpack and so on. Want modded weapons/armors? Don't worry; we have an NPC shop that does that.

Agree with you guys wholeheartedly i'm close to 100 hours in and the game gets better and better as you learn it. A lot of the complaints seem to me to be complaining about the realism of the world, like the barren planets not everything is equally fascinating but sometimes you explore a barren planet to get a great mining outpost but don't expect some massive quest. It is easily Skyrim or FNV's equal for me.

You guys mentioning how there's choices for everyone around the 19:00 mark are spot on. I was able to roleplay my way through a young spacer joining the fleet when he got caught by SysDef to an older Freestar Ranger trying to make amends in the only way he knows (killing pirates) to a grizzled veteran joining with his old enemy to fight the Terrormorph threat. Being able to change my appearance to reflect how much I'd done so far was just the icing on top.

Id say one thing I really hope they add DLC is a type of wasteland workshop type overhaul/addition for ship building and settlements. Settlements: Right now settlements don’t feel fully realized or worth getting into. They don’t offer anything that truly unlocks a new part of the game. They’re very half baked. Shipbuilding: The ship building is solid but it’s very hard to build anything sleek or highly aggressive looking. A lot of parts are very bulbous and round, a lot cockpits are hideous, making it hard to accomplish certain design languages. Additionally, you really can’t build WHATEVER you want. Capitol ships may potentially come (and maybe space stations too) but with the max crew size of 8 or whatever it’d be fruitless without it. Larger ships are definitely teased in loading screens alluding to 80m+ ships and “M-Class” parts already being in the game files.

I like Starfield, but I was more happy if Starfield didn't exist and we had now The Elder Scrolls VI

My biggest gripe is how pushy and chatty the main companions are. The dialogue isn't bad but it happens why too often.

You all are exactly right. If you typically love BGS games, then you should really enjoy this one. I can't stop playing it. If I wanted a space simulation, then I would play No Man's Sky because that game does it really good. But I want an RPG. And this is a Bethesda RPG to it's core.

I'm just really happy you guys love the game and are making content about it. It's a good game! I can't wait for all your future builds and discussions!

Random players: I just kept clearing out the exact same base again and again. So boring! Me: if that was boring, why did you keep doing it instead of the other million things you could go do?

I’ve always been a fan of both Sci-fi & Fantasy, Starfield combined these elements perfectly. In my opinion.

I’m having a blast with it. The early reviews are off because the game opens up as you play

listening to this while I was playing was really cool. I really enjoyed your discussions, thank you!

I picked it up not knowing what it was or what to expect. It is a slower start kind of game and it has a lot of systems to get used to, not complicated just a lot. 30 hours in and figuring out how to smooth out my botched starting build still. A zero G casino that was being robbed was the most interesting thing I've experienced so far.

>be random avaless commenters >"STARFIELD IS AWESOME!" >"I LOVE STARFIELD!" >"I LIKE STARFIELD!" Peak organic. Totally not bot spam.

Starfield is probably my favourite game to comeout this year, its just sucked me in and I've really enjoyed myself, I'm so excited to see how modding can make this game even better, i really like the events of the main quest, the starborn stuff is great, and NG+ adds so much potential and play ability 😊

I love how much more your companion talks during dialog. At some points the NPC and my follower would be basically having a conversation while I’m waiting to select my next dialog option. It is a hella immersive game. I feel like my decisions have consequences in the game and I’m only 20 hours into the game.

I think what you guys don’t understand about the criticism is that starfield feels like fast traveling between locations to check something off your checklist. It doesn’t have the organic exploration and sense of adventure that Skyrim has. I like good quests and content, but when that’s all there is to do it feels like a checklist. My favorite part of Bethesda games is walking from where I am to my next quest location and exploring along the way. That just isn’t an option in starfield.

We need more romance options. Ideally any crew member.

i think we need more factions. Once you got all the factions and finish some sidemissions it feels pretty stale now :( so i hope we get some dlc at some point later next year

The problem is that they told us there would be no boundaries and infinite possibilities. But instead we got Skyrim in space.

found a random sidequest, one where at the end a UC captain lady helped some Freestar rookie and the we help them both. Hours later came across that UC captain's ship in space and she gave me an OP Beowulf rifle, all other Beowulfs I've found are far weaker than what Captain Myeong gave me.

Today, in my 30 years of gaming, I played the most boring, tedious quest ever. Sorting out mining equipment. It was just a go here, go there for about half an hour. I put the controller down when I finished it and went to do something else.

My funnest experience s far was doing Red Mile at level 10 with only 1 point in sneak, I wanted to give up but couldnt b/c I had deleted the save prior to going down the elevator. Took me several hours but I made it there and back. Really made me realize how many small details they nailed like the sound design and im a WAY better sneaker now b/c I would have been royally screwed oitherwise.

thanks for specifying who’s talking

Im really glad you guys have been enjoying this game. As much as I love skyrim, it's 13 years old, and we all need a new BGS experience. I think Starfield not only delivers that but exceeds expectations. I've been checking yalls channel every day for Starfield content, and im thoroughly enjoying all of it. I love the builds, especially for the roleplay and backstory part, and you guys always deliver. I continue to look forward to all the content you guys have in store!

I hugely prefer fantasy settings. I dabbled in Fallout 3 and 4 but I just didn't get sucked in the same as I did with Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. However, even though Starfield is Sci-Fi I do find myself drawn in to playing it. Plus, seeing the progress BGS has made makes me very hopeful for TES6

It takes a while to get into Starfield. Its strengths don't really show until you actually get into it. You notice a lot of its flaws at first such as its somewhat annoying UI.

I think a tour of each city or signposting key areas in the game outside of the major cities could be good. Helps counteract the hard to navigate maps!

this brings me back to when they did the elder scrolls lorecast. been loving all these starfield videos keep up the work

I am absolutely fucking loving this game! Got that feeling that over the next year it's going to become my absolute favourite game... I've been playing for 2 weeks and still haven't touched barely any stories or anything!

I've sunk about 120 hours in since early access, and I have to agree with what y'all said at the very end about DLC. This game feels like DLC can add so much to it, which is simultaneously exciting and disappointing. I'm 100% excited to see what content they have to share with us, especially House Va'Ruun and a specific thing from the very end of the main quest line that I won't spoil. However, it's a little disappointing how much some of this content feels like it's left out. At the end of the day, Starfield is still a complete game as is, and is quite a good one at that. I'd give it a solid 9/10 personally.

I wanna love it. I’m only like 6 hours in but so far I’d say it’s okay. I thought it would have me hooked no lifing it but I’m having a hard time picking it up over BG3. Hopefully like everyone says it gets better with more time in

I'm still so unsure if investment in weapon and armor crafting perks is worth it. Isnt it better to invest points in more combat skills or physical skills? Would love to hear from your experience.

6/10 for me

"The cool stuff is on the planets"... Sure, it's filled with so much cool stuff on planets that most planets lack life. The planets that contain life only have about 3 - 4 different creatures and a few mostly useless or boring locations to discover. Abandoned bases/mines typically have bandits. At first, it felt good to explore these abandoned areas. It got repetitive quickly because it's the same thing. No surprise encounters with fearsome ground shaking alien creatures, or extremely difficult bandit lords etc. Additionally, I encountered bugs that were prevalent in Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 - 4. You mean to say Bethesda still can't fix these bugs since Oblivion? The same janky animations and awkward NPC stares exist here too. It's embarrassing that modders can make mods that have far better animations to combat than Bethesda. I remember a mod for Skyrim that made the combat extremely fun and far better animated than the vanilla stuff. Starfield is not a bad game. It's just an average game in its current state. In some ways, it felt bare-bones like how No Man's Sky was when it first released.

They improved melle combat with Katana... I'm sold

I do want to watch this video but I've just started it so will come back in a month. Great work guys. Doing a great job on here

If you have to explain why a game doesn't suck then it probably sucks

I just wish the companions weren’t so boring

Fudge.... Is it ok to kind of speed through the first playthrough in order to get the phase time power??

I really liked the companions from Fallout 4. Piper, Cait, Valentine... Like 10+ really neat characters. That said, there's a lot of room for DLC and mods in Starfield.

What I ❤️ about the game so far: The gameplay loop and stories/factions, role-playing options What makes me go 🤮: Fast Travel: The Game, missing QOL features that were standard in older games, eye cancer UI (HUD elements in the middle...? Bethesda, WTF were you thinking?)

Kinda disappointed myself I'll play though it once maybe twice and enjoy it, but playing it for years like I did skyrim or fallout no Which is a thing only Bethesda games and a few others can claim to offer. For most games one or two playthoughs is plenty. But I can't see myself playing this again in a year or two.

One of my gameplay critiques has to be the lack of consideration for melee and unarmed characters. 4/5ths of the melee weapons are knives, with one axe, one wakizashi/short sword, and one cleaver in the form of the Va'ruun Painblade. No unarmed weapons, no non-lethal/EM melee weapons like an EM Baton or shock prod. No knuckle duster upgrades for your suit, no knuckles or gauntlets to use, it almost makes unarmed combat seem like a useless afterthought if not for the three perks in the physical tree that directly upgrade it and require it to be upgraded. I also feel like Vasco should have been modifiable, with different upgrades available for higher-tiers of various perks related to weapon, armor, and outpost research. And on a final note, there's a quest in Neon where you squeeze a local hoodlum for a weapon shop vendor so he can clean off the spray paint the hoodlum vandalized his robot with, but after completing that quest, regardless of how, the robot doesn't get swapped for a cleaned-up version even if you leave for several days and come back. The dialogue implies that the money was used to clean, maintain, upgrade, and polish the robot, but he's permanently spray-painted to look like a modern art piece.

Finally a genuine review from people who have ACTUALLY played the game rather than comparing/expecting it to be no man’s sky with playing only for a few hours! This game is huge and takes some big chunk of experience with it to form an opinion. I’ve been having a blast with this game affecting my sleep and health sadly. Kudos guys for speaking out genuine stuff which no one bothers to. 9/10

The biggest compliment I can give Starfield, after 100+ hrs of play, is that it has me so hyped for ES VI that I can't even really put it into words.

I'm honestly loyal to this channel.. always hitting the right points.❤

My only "complaint" is every Starfield video being full of comments about mods. Instead of fair criticism, its "oh, mods will fix that" or "cant wait for the mod that adds X". Its basically incentivising Bethesda to half ass TES6 becuase they are picking up thay the community wont care because modders will finish the job and make the game whatever they wanted anyways. Instead of a thoughtful, meaninful game that they want to make and complete, we will get a half ass sand box for the community to fix.

You mention that you consider the Constellation companions to be very good and based on my experience so far, mostly with Sarah and a bit with Sam Coe and Barrett, I'd agree. What I'm waiting to see is if any of them rise to the Nick Valentine levels of excellence I know Bethesda's developers - and voice actors - are capable of.

You guys are absolutely right about critics moving the goalposts. It’s almost like ppl think that finding points to criticise gives some kinda cred. Similar kind of cultural space that the edgelord used to occupy, y’know?

I love this channel but honestly I don't think you guys are being fully objective. I have no problem with this video but mainly it's the main review you put out. I do not deny that you genuinely love this game, but if I watched your review to determine if I wanted to buy the game or not I would've thought Starfield was a 10/10 game. The game is not bad but it has SO MANY flaws man. I just think your critique of the game wasn't as informative of the game in its entirety; The good AND the bad. Much love to ya Fudge

I bought a spaceship with a lot of fuel to explore the Milkyway but what disappointed me was that when I went to a new planet, there were always outposts. I felt that whats the point of exploring if pirates were always way before me?

This "main story" issue is bumming me TF out. What TF was that..? I've been chasing that New Vegas high for over 10 years now. I've never felt further away from it than I did after 175 hours in Starfield.

55 hours in, and if I had to choose to either give a thumbs up or thumbs down for Starfield, I would initially choose to give thumbs down. No doubt I will sink hundreds of hours into this game and enjoy it thoroughly, but there are some glaring issues that are difficult to ignore. Firstly, you mention how the questlines are "good" and I have to say that maybe you didn't think too hard about them, because the choices you are given are utterly inconsequential. Starfield cares more about giving you the illusion of choice than actually giving you a heavy moral dillema to parse out. One of the choices in the UC questline literally looks like: "Hey you, random guy we just met 5 minutes ago, can you tell us how we should get rid of all the terrormorphs? It makes no sense for us to ask you, but your choice will literally make no difference to the story/world at all anyway." They make you decide, but your choice means nothing. It's the illusion of choice to bolster the claim that this is a true RPG with player choice. Spoilers here: Both the UC and Ranger questlines can boil down to meeting some important dude who is secretly the bad guy causing all the problems, finding out 4 missions later that they are indeed the bad guy and now you get to decide to kill them or not. It's the same, lazy plot for the two biggest factions. But at least you get a choice, right? Well, the choice doesn't affect the outcome of the faction quest lines AT ALL. They end the same no matter which choice you make, rendering the choice almost pointless. All-in-all, I really wish games would choose to either give the player meaningful choices, or focus on constructing a competent railroaded narrative. Give me choice so I can roleplay, or give me a damn good story. Stop trying to give players both choices and a consequential ending while delivering neither. Now, I will probably revise my rating of the game once mod support gets released and modding comes into full swing, because I believe Starfield will gain much more content and love from the modding community that will make it a truly great game.

Been looking for an in depth review on this, I’m so on the fence it’s frustrating cause I keep finding things I like but equally things that deter me from it

I had 1 issue with the UC quest line. During one of the missions that I was trying to stealth through, I killed some of those little cleaning robots because they would "discover" me and I was concerned it would reveal me to the rest. No other entities were injured in any way through my actions. However, once that was done, when turning in the quest to proceed, the NPC's acted as through I painted the walls red with everyone there, their dogs, and even imported a box of kittens to add to the mix.

So far the only part I have an issue, with is when you fast travel from ship-port to the lodge. that you load outside then need to walk into the place and 2 load screens, instead of just loading into the place.
