Starfield is on track for an inevitable comeback. Todd Howard and Bethesda aim to resurrect the controversial space RPG with both Mods / Creations & the Shattered Space DLC Expansion.

I explain why this feels like a direct response to the never-ending criticism of the game's exploration and how a comeback feels almost inevitable after the success of Fallout 76. Despite middling reviews, many video essay critiques and a bad online reputation, the Starfield player count will increase exponentially.

Correction, there are over 8 modable games already from Bethesda so there is nothing unique about Starfield as a "mod playground" other than it starts decades behind other mod playgrounds meaning it is substantially behind.

I can tell Reck loves Starfield but the community/his comment section seems to bash him for liking the game. I enjoy Starfield it is the game I mostly wanted.

I have no faith in starfield becoming good, at least vanilla starfield that is, I mean starfield still has the same bugs and issues that skyrim has. And mods? ehh maybe in a few years if someone makes a complete overhaul mod otherwise I have zero interest in modded starfield

Doubtful Starfield will have a comeback like No Man's Sky did. For it to come back it needs to have some redeeming quality. If Overwatch 2 to become good again, people would flock back to it because it's characters captured the imagination of gamers. In the same way Starfield would need to have something, a good story or characters, or even just good looking female characters. Something for gamers imagination to latch on, before modders would mod Starfield into a good game. Sadly, nothing here except bethesda complacency and a feeling of having customers built into the product.

@Arbyfig 22 күн бұрын

I mean could starfield be fixed in the future? Maybe? The issue still stands with the game design choices though, like the campaign is mediocre and bland, modders could expand it like they did with fallout 4, but it will take time. The Environmental and quest decisions are weird, with the whole 'no one has ever discovered location in a long time' but the location is in proximity of a settlement. Then the ships, just really weird choice of design with the weight and component compatibility thing, and while yes mods already allow people to actually make the better ship designs, a mod to fix a bad game design is not a good thing. I feel mods should enhance the experience, not fix bad decisions, like how mods enhance the fallout 4 settlement system but it was alright from the start. Would also have been nice to be able to design the interior as the parts, so all you do with the current ship building is the exterior layout. One thing that cannot be done for sure is the seamless space to ground experience, it needs to have tech built around it.

Low player count, "mostly negative" on Steam, and lackluster modding scene. Yeah, I don't see it happening.

@MattC-zq7uk 22 күн бұрын

Starfield has over 14 million players platform wide according to BGS. Steams Rating is just the result of review bombing while Metacritic still has an objective rating of 83%. That says a lot about the credibility of the Steam ratings if they are so easily manipulated. While there are now more and more mods so I have no idea what you're smoking.

@JC23783 22 күн бұрын

"Lackluster modding scene" It's one of the most modded games on nexus and that was before the creation kit was even released. Now there's several KZfaq channels solely dedicated to Starfield mods that upload daily and some even twice a day. You're literally living in an alternate reality.

Okay hear me out. I played starfield at launch and HATED it, before i carry on let me give the context of me being an xbox series X player. I started playing starfield again last week because i heard creations were on it and at first i was so happy to try em out. I was let down by the lack of mods butttttttttt... after playing for a bit with some cheat mods, character mods, a few star wars esque mods, a few game changing mods that make mundane things super easy and tolerable, i started actually really enjoying the game. Thats when i also realised the story and the missions are genuinely engaging (of course in vanilla i would not be saying this). I felt like the mandalorian going to planet to planet with my annoying yet loving crew doing hunts, missions, sight seeing and just pretending im a mix of a sith/jedi/bounty hunter/assassin and whatever i was feeling. It felt like an RPG 😱 So TLDR im genuinely enjoying the game and its story with some mods

So you're playing the mod community, not the game Bethesda made. Assign your appreciation to the ones who actually did the work.

@mabaws1254 19 күн бұрын

@brycedery9596 that's definitely well deserved, but I'm also trying to say that mods have helped me actually appreciate the story content Bethesda has made. The lore is amazing, the quest dialogue are superb and the settings/set pieces for some missions really make you appreciate the extra detail and depth. That's what I'm trying to say
