Todd Howard says Starfield's Shattered Space DLC launches this fall.

"Big update coming really soon" has city maps and shipbuilding improvements

The update "should be" properly revealed this week

[CrimsonWing69]

Zzz…ZZZzzzZzz…

[InUrFoxHole]

Oh stop ✋️. Starfield is a good game. But definitely could be better. Would like some quality of life changes. Although if past games are anything to go by. Bethesda is gonna rely on the community to update the game :(

[Gaming4Life1981]

Exactly Starfield is a good game and I can't wait until we get mod support. I'm looking forward to the new update and dlc.

[Crows90]

Its not though. If it was more people would be playing it but its long forgotten. Its average at best.

[Armaggedon]

@Crows90 You are looking at numbers, numbers dont tell the whole story. What about Palworlds 90+ percent drop off, or other games like that dropped lst year? People that think starfield is bad will find “evidence “ that it is, but its just confirmation bias my friend.

[notachance]

eh, bethesda completely killed the sense of exploration in starfield. In fallout and elder scrolls I could walk to a mission objective only to get knee deep on a random vault/cave 3 hours later because I randomly encounter other missions on the way, in starfield it's just travelling from city to objective to city to objective again...

would've been way better if they just make 3-4 planets but with big open area each full of contents.

[Crows90]

@armageddon

There's no bias. I played the game. Beat it. There's nothing interesting throughout the entire game...half baked systems galore. Just boring content...tons of boring content.

I have more fun throwing bread and chairs at players in chivalry 2 than in the entire Starfield experience. That's not bias...I don't care about numbers. Nobody cares about Starfield. It was a failed attempt ..maybe they'll do better with the next one.

Maybe if they give it to obsidian we'll get something awesome like fallout New Vegas. Hopefully with less bugs.

[1Victor]

So does this confirm a PS5 release by winter? 🤣

[Christopher]

It's mediocre. Let's be honest. It's coasting on the coattails of Skyrim and Fallout, IMHO.

[Armaggedon]

Crows90

Nobody cares about Starfield, yet it is still the talk of the town. Make it make sense mate. And yes, there objectively is biased. Had countless people in videos and comments sections talking about how Starfield lost a large number of its player base, and when I stated that people just moved on, I was accused of huffing copium. Then Palworld dropped its player base, and everyone just kind of got amnesia about calling out starfield for the same thing.

Im sorry that there are people that find it boring, but almost every game has people that find it boring. Skyrim, BG3, The Witcher, etc.

I actually didnt like New Vegas. Tried playing it twice soon after playing fallout 3, and it just didn’t hook me in.

[Armaggedon]

My my, look at all these downvotes to people that actually like the game. Time to get a mind of your own people.

[shinoff2183]

How is it not having a mind of your own to not like the game. I bought a whole series x for this and was pretty disappointed. No lore, exploration(half baked unlike their other games, and it felt like a step back), lack of lore, etc. As it stands I don't really like the game. I think it's a bad game and a huge step back. Step back is the problem as well. With that said I'll try it again after some of my complaints are fixed. Sadly though I doubt my lore issue(no books or pc's to actually read like their other games) will be fixed. Trust me I didn't spend series x money to say I didn't like the game.

[Lightning77]

I highly doubt you got a X to play it. Or played it at all. The games in the future you're not gonna find booke and their are PC's to get back story.

You're lying.

[Wretchedstain]

This happens far too often on here.

"Whats that?!?, you like something that I don't? Here's a down-vote to you good sir for liking something..."

(Down-votes inbound)

[Extermin8or3_]

Literally the point of down voting is to down vote takes you don't agree with. So if most people think the game is mediocre at best then yeah praising it will get down voted.

[Eonjay]

I think that's the point. I get down votes all the time because I say stuff some people don't like or don't agree with. I didn't agree or disagree because I never played the game.

[Crows90]

Down votes mean people disagree with the statement.

For instance. You said it happens too often and assume it's simply because people don't like what you like...that's not it...that's not the reason.

And that is why you're getting down votes.

[Hofstaderman]

Have you seen the Steam engagement numbers? I mean don't you guys gauage a games sucess on engagement these days? This game was slated as THE game to be played for months and years.... Allow me to save you the click its low.

[dumahim]

If I wasn't at work, I'd create a K2SO meme, "It's low. It's very low."

[Armaggedon]

And it will be played for months and years, people just took liberties with what that means. It doesn’t really matter if people stop playing though, because its not a live service or a game that depends on player engagement . Todd and crew just wanted another game to keep people busy because we are probably not seeing TES 6 until 2050

[Barlos]

What if, and hear me out here, but what if... these people actually don't like the game? I know, I know, pretty profound.

[CrimsonWing69]

My, my, look all the upvotes to people actually not liking the game. Seems like they have a mind different than yours… maybe one that we can say is their own.

Nobody’s taking away your right to freely enjoy the game. I personally, enjoy some dumpster fire trash games. This particular one just helps cure insomnia… hell, just discussing this game is making me yawn.

[Lightning77]

Lol no. Notice how it's only known Sony fanboys that have a extreme negative reaction to this game on here. Y'all Have had this reaction since the game released. I've never seen such hate and emotional reaction over a single game in my life yet leave it to Sony fanboys like yourself to set a unwritten record of most hate for a game. Clearly just look around in this comment section.

[CrimsonWing69]

@Lightning77

I can only speak for myself, but I bought this game, yes bought, so I’m not sure where in the hell that makes me a Sony fanboy. I own all the f*cking consoles, so quit b*thing about fanboys just because people didn’t like this game. I think it’s completely underwhelming and quite frankly one of the most boring experiences I’ve ever had the displeasure of experiencing.

You go ahead and like the game, bub. Nobody says you can’t, but don’t get your panties in a bunch when people voice their opinion on the game and don’t go trying to make claims it’s only fanboys that hate it.

People just don’t like it, it’s just one of those things you’ll have to learn to deal with.

[Lightning77]

"so quit b*thing about fanboys just because people didn’t like this game."

The ones who are genuinely underwhelmed at SF are hardcore Bethesda fans. What's the only fanbase or fanbases that takes a game that's only on one console dials up the hate to a maximum? Half these ppl here are lying about playing it they don't have Xbox. It's fanboys don't cover up their behavior. I see the same ones here, hell even on twitter the same culprits every time. They all have extreme fanboy track record I see a recognize and I can easily point them out. It's not hard.

If I enjoyed the game or not doesn't matter it's the terrible, toxic fanboys over this game is the issue.

There very fact you say "ppl voicing their opinions" is beyond hilarious. These aren't ppl they're fanboys. I recognize most of these ppl here all over Xbox news and games in general through out the years. Nice excuse.

You're not gonna win at this. You can keep deflecting and making excuses for them for their behavior. The fact that it's "oh it's just honest gamers voicing their opinions'" makes you very, very sus none logical person.

Or one of them.

[CrimsonWing69]

@Lightning 77

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.

Do you realize your comments are probably the most fanboy responses in this entire comment section?

If anyone’s “sus” it’s you and your paranoia perspective on everyone who doesn’t agree with your fanboy stance on the game.

You’ve definitely demonstrated how impossible it is to have a discussion about anything with a fanboy.

[Lightning77]

"I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.

Do you realize your comments are probably the most fanboy responses in this entire comment section?"

So you clearly have no logical response so your retort is "no you're the fanboy!" You gotta come stronger than that Crimson. I know you got something.

But sure entertain me how am I the fan boy lol. I want full details on this.

[CrimsonWing69]

@Lightning77

“So you clearly have no logical response so your retort is "no you're the fanboy!" You gotta come stronger than that Crimson. I know you got something.”

Isn’t that what you’re doing? No, seriously let’s have a real discussion here, if possible. What is your response to literally almost every comment here? Are you not LITERALLY calling every single person who says they’d don’t like this game a fanboy because that’s all you got?

The irony is so ironic it almost makes me want to vomit from how pathetic it is.

Yea, you’re right about one thing, I do have something more to say. I’ve honestly not seen a more. Your comments are steeped so deeply in fanboyism that it’s impossible to have any form of discourse with you. You’re actually delusional and it’s pretty disturbing in a way. Like, it borders on unhinged behavior and the delusion you have is on a whole other level.

So, what’s there to discuss further? I think Starfield is one of the most boring games I’ve ever played. There’s tons of YouTube videos of people criticizing the game with a plethora of examples that I agree with. Boring gameplay loop, boring environments and level design, boring story, boring characters, like Wirral nothing about this game has entertained me.

What’s your “retort” going to be? Probably, “Oh you’re a Sony fanboy just hating on a Xbox game and blah blah blah fanboy this and fanboy that blah blah blah,” like what discourse can we get going taking to a fanboy like you?

That’s literally your response to everyone on here and when you get called out as a fanboy your only response to that is saying “you don’t have logic so you retort to calling me a fanboy.”

Please tell me you see the irony in this. I mean, we could make a drinking game that’d put someone in the hospital with taking a shot every time you mention someone’s a fanboy for not liking the game in here. How’s that for entertaining you?

So yea, unhinged fanboy, what do you want to discuss further? I’d like to say “I know you got more,” but I know it’s just going to be fanboy this and fanboy that and we’ll be stuck in some endless waltz where it feels like discussing things further with you is the equivalent of putting my brain in a microwave and nuking it.

It’s just one of those things…

[Becuzisaid]

No one is downvoting you because you like a game that they don't. They downvote you because you're a smug, contrarian, ignorant person that seemingly exists just to tell people they're wrong for thinking differently than you do.

[Lightning77]

Not my fault I'm right compared to all of you.

Thinking differently? Tell me why I see the same exact fanboys here that I see in, not only in other SF articles, but across Xbox related news in general then?

Maybe be smarter in your comments and don't be a fanboy. Then you'll witness the wonders of having a brain for once.

[Crows90]

Follow your own advice and stop worrying about what other think...

[Lightning77]

Let you get away with trolling and ignorant fanboy comments thats has to do with Xbox and PC. How would you like it if a bunch of Xbox fanboys tore down a PS article and game?

What's funny is I hardly see any Excited Xbox fans in here for shattered space it's all been taken over with fanboys like you so what's wrong with that picture?

[Armaggedon]

Because people are downvoting mindlessly. Imagine getting a storm of downvotes from people that dont like the game, but run to poke at it anyway.

[Barlos]

Thank you Todd! Thank you Phil! Thank you team Xbox!! Thank you Bethesda! Thank you to my mom for giving birth to me so I could experience this masterpiece of a game!! This is the most amazing news I've ever heard!!! DLC to the best game ever made!!!

Let's gooooo!

!!!1!!

[Eonjay]

I'm half expecting them to announce it for PlayStation next week.

[Barlos]

You never know. I'd still not buy it.

[Lightning77]

I wouldn't hold your breath.

[Armaggedon]

Get downvoted for liking the game. Get downvoted for existing. 😂

[Extermin8or3_]

Cool so I bet the PS5 version with all the updates and the expansion etc releases early next year then. I'm not particularly fussed or looking to buy it given my time with the game on pc was very "meh" but importantly it will help prove a point to all those in denial claiming the reports about a starfield port were wrong.

[CobraKai]

I enjoyed the game. I wasnt into Skyrim that much but using a sci fi setting got me into this one

[Crows90]

I was honestly super excited for it. Just found it too shallow and uninteresting. Rather play mass effect.

[CobraKai]

Mass Effect is one of my favorite games of all time. I like em both tho. Maybe ill try Skyrim again

[peppeaccardo]

Wait What ?!?!?! More wallpapers for the loading screens ? LOL

[dumahim]

Sure would be nice if the game didn't just vanish your photos that get used for load screens just because you completed the game.

[gold_drake]

oofff.

lets see how broken that one is going to be.

[Fonsecap]

The game is almost dead by that it will be 6ft under...

[MrDead]

I wonder if they'll put any exploration into the game?...or space flight? It'll be good if we could explore unique crafted locations and not the same copy pasted buildings, it would also be nice to have space travel added to the game too instead of spinning around a static skybox with 2d planets.

[Crows90]

That would be another 6 years and a couple more loading screens.

[anast]

Get rid of the loading screens and add space exploration and planet exploration and life to the cities and better quests and combat. Then you got a DLC that isn't "shattered".

[Psychonaut85]

I mean, there’s a loading screen between every different area, so isn’t space already shattered?

[Crows90]

Yaaasss

[Sonic1881]

Hey Todd. Angry Joe said Starfield is the worst game you have ever made 😂

[Hofstaderman]

You done effed it up!

[Armaggedon]

Angry Joe gave Hogwarts legacy a higher score than Baldurs Gate 3. I cant take him as seriously as I used to.

[Sonic1881]

But he was definitely right about Starfield because after I put in 15 hours in the game, I actually agreed with him

[Armaggedon]

@Sonic1881

I was disappointed in Joe on the starfield review. It felt like he got so fed up with playing the game, he stopped playing and took most of the bullet points from other Starfield hate videos. Some of his points were good, but he has some ridiculous points that I saw brought up in other hate videos. A few examples:

The way the random NPC’s look: Yes, they are hideous abominations, but that is the clear result of using procedural generation to make random npcs to walk around and do stuff, while Bethesda allocates their resources towards more priority npcs. I cant fault a developer for this, unless it is a linear and/or controlled game.

Certain details lacking, like shooting your gun at water. Really Joe?😂

NPC’s not reacting when you start shooting your weapon at the air: Really Joe? Really?

How about this as a rebuttal : Cyberpunk doesnt have clutter objects that role around or move realistically when I smack them with my gun. See how dumb this type of cherry picking is?

There are others of course, but we all get the point Im sure. I watched alot of Joes content, and some of his criticisms were the most artificial I have seen when it comes to Starfield. I feel like he would give the game a 7-7.5 naturally, but there was a school of ravenous piranhas ready to strip him bare if he didnt s**t on the game. Cant bite the hand that feeds you.

[purple101]

they want £34.99 for this, on Amazon UK

HAVE A LAUGH

[HansyJ]

Who cares 😂

[rippermcrip]

Don't you need a story in the first place to have a "story expansion"?

[DustMan]

I enjoy Starfield....watch the downvotes flow. lol

[Armaggedon]

Im suprised you didnt get downvoted. Must have slipped the radar
