Have you played the greatest game of our generation?
shut the fuck up
Gore and, either, a marker that tells you which planets are worth exploring or you are guaranteed to find something interesting on every single planet you land on. A special event, a dungeon, space bandits, mercs, aliens. I don't care but the content density of Starfield needs to hit Skyrim levels.>be in base>sort out gear and grab what you need>open map and pick location or quest>head out>2 minutes later something to fight>2 minutes later something to explore>2 minutes later something to interact with>2 hours later>completed 2 quests>explored 1 dungeon>looted 2 new pieces of gear>encountered a new companion>now you are at your target location to do what you actually wanted to do>do the thing>you've played the game for 4 hours and return to your base>do some maintenance, eat, sleep, head out againSteps 5 to 11 Bethesda just kinda forgot to implement. You still open your map but the whole emergent gameplay thing is just not there. You simply fast travel directly to where you want to go and do what you wanted to do. There is nothing to explore and there is nothing to find. Empty abandoned outposts and camps.And the game has a fucking amazing framework of systems and mechanics. The whole ship building is top notch but it lacks depth, same with the outpost building. There is simply no reason to do it because it's all cosmetic. It doesn't open anything new. Todd he said he didn't want to force the player to do something that wasn't fun. But he ended with a game that doesn't force the player to do anything at all. So unless the player finds the act of doing something in and of itself fun there is no reason to do it.For example outpost building. If that would unlock new quest lines or special gear or abilities players would actually build them. Or if they served as checkpoints to restock and refuel on longer trips or to off load/sell valuable cargo. Just an answer to the question "what does it do?" would be good.
Its pretty good honestly, I don't know why this board was so mad about it
>>726112003This has to be an AI bot post.I sincerely do not believe anyone would spend this much time typing in a starfield thread.
>>726112345It's a variation of a post i wrote when the game came out. I keep it around because /v/ loves to recycle topics and i refuse to type up an effort post every single time, especially for a thread that is probably going to hit page 10 with 0 engagement.
>>726112003>Todd he said he didn't want to force the player to do something that wasn't fun>upgrading your crafting ability required you to invest perk points and then farm for material>you can't buy the material since Bethesda selectively forgot that this isn't a TES or fallout game in this one instance and you have to fuck off to a distant planet to farm nonsense like adhesive instead of buying it at the interplanetary trading company>theres no database in your UI that shows where you can farm said materials, despite you being able to survey and scan the lifeforms on the planets that might have it>have to go to a 3rd party website just to find a listI don't know what the fuck they were thinking when they made this game. It's just janky half-assed ideas scattered around everywhere
>>726112825>upgrading your crafting ability required you to invest perk points and then farm for materialThat's exactly the moment in a game where i use the console to just give me the stuff. When i notice that the game expects me to have lots of a material that is super rare i just cheat.
>>726111639Extraction shooters are the streamerbait genre of the moment. All casuals want to get into it because it's "cool", except Tarkov is too hardcore and too janky for the masses.But now casualoids have ARC, a dumbed down easy mode extraction game so they can pretend they are part of the cool kids.I'm surprised it didn't get 1M players on steam, considering streamers shilling this crap.
>excrement 33>shillsong>ARCasual raidersNot a single good game this year.
>>726111639>players
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>726111639>saarfield>playersAKA refunds
I still find it funny how Todd went all out to say that he'll support it forever and then Bethesda seemingly stopped any and all development the moment they dropped the DLC that they were forced to make due to it being part of the premium edition.He really thought he had something there, huh
>>726114183Oh that's why they made it and left it that way with no more DLCs heh.
>>726111639I blame Emil.
>>726111639>Join pirate faction>No consequences>70% of all "dungeons" become full of friendly NPCs and you can just loot everything without a fight.Peak gameplaty
they really couldnt have just put the player’s ship in a generic space background during loading screens, like in Skyrim and Fallout 4? that would be so much more immersive. it’s still a xbox360 ass bethesda game but that would have made it slightly better… i sometimes fast travel between worlds and i forget im on an entirely different planet. nice space simulator game todd, really immersive brah.also WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE PORN MODS??
>>726113912Nigger, it's a Saarfield thread.
>>726112080my personal complaint is, it’s quite literally just Fallout 4 in space. also if you dont have a brand new m.2 NVMe hard drive enjoy staring at loading screens every 5 mins. the economy is really fucked without mods, even for a bethesda game, and the civilian NPCs in cities just stare at you if you fire a gun off in the town square. c’mon they couldnt at least duck for a second and spout a generic panicked voiceline?>durr modders will fix itim sick of this attitude many developers have.
>>726111639Waiting on that star wars total conversation to be finished. (doubt)
>>726111639this should have been an Outer Worlds style game with 5-6 Vvardenfel sized maps on different planets.scrap the whole multiverse time travel shit, come up with better factions than USA (globohomo), USA (cowboy) and wacky cultists.
>>726114437>WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE PORN MODS??Sterile, sexless setting with no aliens or any fun scifi stuff (or attractive women). And the game just isn't fun, which believe it or not is a prerequisite for people to give a fuck.
>>726117165DAMMIT
>>726111639Yes.
>>726117316Wonderful, anon.
