Starfield is a sweeping, exploration-filled RPG from Bethesda, true to the Skyrim and Fallout model, but there’s nowhere else to go with this kind of videogame.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Expectations for Starfield were sky-high, and while many felt it fell short of them, raw sales and other statistics tell a different tale.
Agreed. I'd love to know the budget on this one to be honest. What was it? 6-8 years in development?
Howard said this game had been a concept for 25 years. Let that sink in.
The ship building is kinda cool... And that's about it. In all seriousness, I don't think it's a bad game, but violently mediocre with some really head-scratching choices that made me go "why" rather than "wow" more often than not.
Same here. Not saying it's the best they've ever released, but the hate it gets is pretty absurd. I've been completely enjoying the 50 or so hours I've dropped into it.
To be fair, I have yet to play a single Bethesda game that I found enjoyable. The whole "talking to cardboard cutouts from the uncanny valley" thing is tolerable in games like Mass Effect, but it loses me completely in Bethesda titles.
I'll never forget advertised as an open world sandbox game but you run into invisible Star Trek barriers when exploring. GTA has never done that and neither has No Man's Sky. If people love this game good for them I am not touching it. And if Microsoft does say port this game to Playstation I am still not touching this game.
I started playing a few weeks ago and am enjoying it thoroughly. Perfect, absolutely not. Yet it's nowhere near as bad as what people make it out to be. Plenty of quests to get side tracked with. The gunplay has been tightened up significantly in my opinion since Fallout 4. I originally listened to the online crowd absolutely crap on the game and made me curious to see if it was that bad. It's not. It's a good and fun game. It just didn't live up to the developer hype and peoples expectations. Which wouldn't be the first time Bethesda, or Microsoft promised the world, and gave us the moon.
I will say that the beginning few story missions really kind of drag, but once you unlock powers it picks up. I think that first few hours soured a lot of folks who left it behind before really digging in to it. Which is understandable.
First few hours??? How about the first 130 hours according to the developers. Need to get past 130hrs to start enjoying the game.
Bethesda may have just dropped a major hint regarding the upcoming Shattered Space DLC for its action role-playing game, Starfield.
What in the world...
“nowhere else to go with this kind of videogame”
Words that age like milk.
Who comes up with these titles🤔😁
Nowhere else to go. There's plenty of places to go. How about some actual aliens, along the lines of star wars and other sci fi space movies, or something. Bethsada missed a great opportunity.
I see the article is going a whole nother way but I'll leave it
