Anon that's so reductive.
He also added all the names that sound confusingly similar like Melina, Malenia, Millicent, Marika, Miquella, Maliketh, Mohg, Morgott, Margit, godwyn, godfrey, godrick....
And yet I don't get to roleplay and instead am only allowed react the way the writer would, which is essentially the same thing but worded differently four times.
You're fricking moronic.
>No option to "finish the job" and put a bullet on her head
What roleplay, anon?
Bethesda only wants me to roleplay as "the person who cares" while I don't care.
Oh wait, it did. The game reacts to everything the player does, be it good or bad. Meanwhile Bethesda treats the player like a toddler, constantly saying "No, no, no, you can't do that!" if the player tries to shoot anyone he doesn't like or complete an objective in an unconventional way.
People want depth and choice in their RPGs. BG3's success proves it, and more importantly, it proves Bethesda's "streamline and simply" philosophy totally fricking out of touch. The only reason Bethesda's 'RPGs' have been successful before is due to their atmosphere -- their art design, music and worldbuilding -- and the fact they've been working with pre-existing franchises. Starfield is the first time in memory BGS has made their own game off their own back, their own lore and story, everything done by Todd and his lackeys, and it's their most poorly recieved game to date.
If that doesn't get through your shill skull that Starfield is dogshit, nothing will.

No, it's not an open world RPG, but the freedom it does give you has massive depth and complexity. The game accounts for your actions and responds logically and consistently.
Bethesda freedom is "Do you want to shoot this raider with a pistol or with a rifle?" or "Do you want to do Randomised Fetch Quest A first, or Randomised Fetch Quest B first?" It's freedom in its most meaningless sense and, judging by Starfield's awful critical reception, people aren't being fooled by it anymore.

Indians rape women at an astonishing rate. Have you ever noticed how there are barely any women outside in india? Because they get fricking raped immediately or sexually assaulted. Kinda like how western women travel to some subhuman indian shithole and get sexually assaulted and then act surprised :^)

It's funny because I actually thought that Emil was a pajeet when I heard his name for the first time several years ago, jeetposting wasn't even a big thing yet back then so I have no idea why
Its actually amazing how people thought Oblivion and FO3 had laughably, obnoxious writing and themes and then 15 years later they got worse. How do you from shit to this? I'm glad Bethesda is fading out of the eye of gamers, they're going to become the next Bioware soon.
Skyrim got a lucky break because it offered an epic open world experience palatable for the casual masses that were all playing video games for the first time that year and thought it was the best shit they've ever seen.
First exposure effect is one hell of a drug
Skyrim also had a heck of a marketing campaign back in 2011. I think it helps a multitude of things, including internet culture felt "just right" at the time.
I've been waiting like 15 years for everyone to realize bethesda games were shit and now we're finally there I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it cathartic.
Oblivion writing is fine for the most part. Fallout 3 writing was dogshit but the fact that they were able to make a drier game like skyrim afterwards gave me hope that they could avoid Emil's moronic tone of they wanted to. Now I'm not so sure anymore
really terrible transcription of your character trying to assess the situation using their medicine skills but realizing she's fricking dying
but like if they were in a shitty movie
Yes it is. It's the entire issue. People who've never read a real book, watched a real movie, or had a complex thought in their head, are now in charge of writing for video games, and the end result is complete dogshit.
Is it just me or is the worst thing here actually the unbroken staring eye contact. Like he moves his head but his eyes stay rigid. For Christ sake it's 2024 why can't we have NPCs that have believable mannerisms.
Back in Oblivion characters would glance to the side occasionally. That game's faces were indeed potatoes but I still find them a good deal more expressive than in their later games.
Bethesda went ahead and meticulously produced a game that can NOT be fixed by mods. The golden age of gaming may be over but the age of tortanic blunders is now starting.
>Bethesda went ahead and meticulously produced a game that can NOT be fixed by mods.
yeah, that's exactly how I see it too, people will just straight move on right past it like it doesn't exist. There's not going to be some herculean effort to fix the game.
my wife has played and loved their games since morrowind and she completely skipped it for BG3 without blinking. we haven't even started starfield up.
cods still vaguely fun
i wouldnt pay for it tho
insurgency sandstorms fun
i stick to pre 2020 games tho with minimal or no mtx and no esg
gaming sucks now but its still fun
it sucked in the 360 era too cuz anything that wasnt a 9 out of 10 was fricking terrible goyslop
The gay engine is too OUTDATED
Skyrim is barely functional and that is 2011
Todd is insane to think that engine could hold up to 2023 standard not to mention being the game with that kind of scale
What does the engine have anything to do with it? There's simply too much space for all of it to be populated with unique and interesting content. The end result of this moronic open-world wankoff race to see who can say that they created "the BIGGEST world map to date!" is barren wastelands of recycled bandit hideouts.
Shartfield is the logical conclusion of bethesda's rabid and delusional wienersucking "fans" constantly praising mediocrity purely because they can mod away all the bad.
>Nothing this lazy should've been made.
the most baffling thing is that apparently it was "ready" for release 2 or so years ago and microsoft told them to finish it. game feels unfinished now so god only knows what it was like back then
Why did it fail this bad though?
Was it rushed? Or is it the engine? Poojeet devs?
everything.
the engine's limitations make it feel like you're playing a game from 15 years ago like homie you can't even have a fully open town so you have loading screens for entering shops. and then they sneak in more unskippable cut scenes when they are obviously pseudo loading screens because the engine sucks
the quest design makes it feel like you're playing a game from 15 years ago. go talk to someone, he tells you to go do something, you go do something (99% of the time you just go shoot something for 5 minutes) and then you go back to the main guy (homie we have space travel can't i just email you)
the combat is shit. you can just literally stand still and shoot till you win.
systems in the game are moronic like base building is half assed and crafting is useless when the game shits new, better gear on you.
the writing sucks. the characters are all the same.
the only positive i will say about this game is that there are THREE good missions: getting chased by the xenomorph; exploring the prison in the pirate quest; the snake people embassy mission. someone accidentally designed those well
>the engine's limitations
its not the engine
its the people using the engine forgetting what the engine can do and leaving shit out of the game
fricking skyrim and fallout had npcs react when you attacked/shot gusn around them and they just dont in starfield.
theres a bunch of shit that the garbage engine should be able to do and has done in previous games that they just left out.
No you fricking moron, this is the dumbest contrarian opinion I keep seeing. IT IS THE ENGINE, IT'S A BROKEN PILE OF SHIT, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A DECADE AGO. It can't even keep itself from crashing in vanilla, it can't handle a cell bigger than a walmart, the physics are chunky and dated, you could go on for hours about all its shortcomings. It's too fricking old.
You're so fricking stupid, jesus christ. Have you ever tried the mods that expand on the script and add new stuff? Stuff like sim settlements in F4 or something? It makes the game seize up and crash constantly. There's plenty you can "do" in the creative engine, it doesn't mean shit if the game can't handle it for more than four seconds.

Better example would be the penis mod for Skyrim that will break saves because somehow a papyrus script that handles NPC erection values is too much for Todd.
Any engine can only be as good as the programmer using it.
And even if suddenly Camrack would work for them, they would not change the engine.

Never forget the stupid fricking way Skyrim handled the animation files which necessitated the need for 3rd party tools like FNIS, Nemesis, and Pandora. I assume even the fricking monkeys at Bethesda understood it was a problem because Fallout 4 doesn't require it.
>mini loading screens between tiles in Morrowind >invisible walls between tiles (which are all connected) in Starfield
I don't understand how they could be so incompetent. Starfield even has some impressive stuff, like planets are actually there, they're not 2d jpegs, you just can't fly between or around them because your ship is too slow.
>no grass >low res ground textures >literally just rocks, no foliage >no fancy lighting
they need a ssd for this shit?
fricking rdr2 shits all over this, so do all the ass creed games, for all that fallout 4 did wrong, even fallout 4 had an amazingly dense and handcrafted recreation of post-apocalyptic boston, 2077's night city is blade runner kino in terms of overall aesthetic design

kek! you wiener sucking homosexuals clearly never played this game
Why did it fail this bad though?
Was it rushed? Or is it the engine? Poojeet devs?
it was never failed the internet really just has hate boner towards Microsoft.
it honestly boggles my mind that POI layouts aren't randomly generated from a set of modules
literally all the systems are in place for that
I wasn't expecting much from starfield, but they still managed to disappoint
It is fricking insane how worse this game actually was than Fallout 4 on a writing level. I bet Will Shen left because everything he wrote or passed on as an idea was blocked by Emil and the various disgusting marriageless hags they have in the writers room now
Fricking Fallout 76 has dismemberment and visual damage to enemies you hit. I'm not asking for the character to be missing an arm, but even some specks of blood on her would be something.
There are so many problems with Starfield, but they couldn't even manage something they've been doing since Oblivion. Even in a specific, dramatic scene where your entire focus is on the character. It's actually baffling how lazy it is.
>large pool of blood >What happened sarah? Can you move? Can you talk?
>literal pool of blood >Hey, snap out of it!
Bethesda games are written for 12-year-olds
>pool of blood
looks more like strawberry jelly to me, and she had no blood on herself
I think she accidentally dropped a jar of jelly then slipped on it
For a science-truster game, that is really shitty first response. >someone is dying I front of your eyes, do you: >A:put pressure on the wound >B:hold their hand and say nono nono... No
this game looks and feels like it was made by people who never leave their house and spend most of their time consuming media like netflix series and movie remakes.
Have you seen the nightclubs clubs in this game? It's made by a bunch of dorks who never seen a butt or boob before. This game has absolute no edge to it everything is sterile asf https://youtu.be/ws0ufhrgWJw

I loved that cringe scene. I was acting overly dramatic and Cole was telling me to calm the frick down.
She even got a eulogy even though we realize that there are endless versions of each other.
You just know the writer is the sort of person that would say videogames can't be art as he writes his drivel. It's wild that this shares a medium with Xenogears.
I mean, the point is valid, just worded really badly.
The Legion in general was gimped pretty bad when Obsidian gutted them into becoming a one-note super-duper bad guy baddie faction, though I don't remember why they did it, I'm guessing they just ran out of time like with everything else.
Why did it fail this bad though?

Are you aware that some of Starfields guns share the same specific animation bug that the guns from a fallout 4 mod does? Specifically, the double barrel partial reload?
Does what, plant a seed of doubt into someone that stretching out this far and being weakened after a grand battle is fertile soil for internal collapse?
It took like eight years to make. It certainly wasn't rushed.
The sad truth is just that Bethesda is ran by incompetent, boring boomers. Their experience of the world revolves around driving from their insulated suburban homes to the office, engaging in petty, dry office politics, and driving back home to their nagging wife. No wonder the game reflects that existence perfectly.
I could have forgiven them basically everything bad in the gameplay if only the setting itself was interesting. Too bad the setting of starfield is utterly fricking boring and I got tired of playing the game within like a week. The ship building is what intrigued me the most about the game and it kept me engaged for a while but after building my ultimate battleship and assaulting the crimson fleet space station, destroying their fleet there, only to realize that I can't destroy the space station itself, I finally got fed up and dropped the game
people keep saying its the engine's fault but its not
they could've done well enough with the engine. The problem is poor writing and poor game design. Its like the game was made by 12 different teams who never communicated with each other once, and some butthole just shoddily glued it all together come launch time.
if they had just put an ounce of love into it, it would be a nice game
Because they didn't balance the scales on random character generation. For example, there's like a dozen variations of old man wrinkles, and only one option (no wrinkles) is youthful. If you use pure balanced randomization then only 1 in 12 characters will be young, which I think is what they did. You'd need to balance the odds to favor the young to get an even spread of old and young, and I don't think they thought of that.
Lmao no, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The game might be "fixed" when it comes to most bugs, but a lot of features promised at launch still aren't there. The damage is done. And PL was an underwhelming piece of movie garbage.
Which is even more pathetic since they sacrificed their original story for this "V is dying rdr2 wannabe" bullshit and wrote themselves in a corner. Hard to start a franchise when you kill off your protagonist game one. And now they don't even have the backbone to see it through, to commit to their story, and they're changing it for sequel bait. Utterly pathetic.
Uncanny valley effect of "high-tier" animation, deliberate uglification due to ideology and shit tier designers.
Unironically, if they had a lore reason for the entire human race being 90% morlocks and acknowledged it, it would have been accepted. Just handwave it as dysgenics caused by tech development, culture of hideousness, MC being a porn-brained coomer who is used to hyperreality or genetic drift caused by humans spreading out, and it would have served as a cool story point. Any one of those would have been fine to expand upon, but its instead treated as "WHY DO YOU CARE?! ALL FORMS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!".
A side-story on why there are few beautiful models among the masses of moronic genetic detritus would have been interesting, especially if you factor in the spaceship that arrives 200+ years later and would not be a masquerade of morons.
But no, its NASApunk. Shit is ugly, and you are a bigot if you notice.
I don't get it.
At this point, it seems like using the same engine is more work (dollars wasted in wrangling it around and making it work, bugfixes, etc) than just making a new one would be.
Everyone always says 'that's capitalism baby', but Capitalism picks the path of least resistance: farmers don't till massive fields with horse plows any more even though a horse and plow are cheaper than a mechanical plowing device.
Force them to watch a thousand "how to make your first unreal game" on youtube.
Completely throw out Creation Engine.
Making a new engine just so it can look and do on par with other commercial engines while running slightly worse or slightly better is a waste of time and outsourcing.
Id fricked themselves with IdTech69 or whatever iteration of DooM Eternal is where all that engine can do is make an ADHD shooter. Nobody wants to use anything IdTech related even in Bethesda's other teams except Machine Games which has made nothing but shooters.
Force them to give up on modders and modding support. Modders do not make money. Paid mods are a complete fricking failure as both mods and micro-dlc especially when they are not even priced well.
Remove Emil and Todd from the coporate structure entirely. They will no longer give any direct input to any project, they will act as the middle man between BGS and MS and nothing more.
>kill off mods
Congrats you killed the company, dumbass
Mods are the only thing keeping their shit games afloat
Their games are shit, Bethesda has a major seniority issue where theres tons of veteran devs that are complacent and havent learned shit
You want to kill off mods and still keep the company? Fire everyone and hire competent people
Let's see... >Correct >Correct >Correct >Fricking wrong: Modders are the only thing saving their games, and if you remove mods there will be no consumer trust. Right on paid mods. >Todd can stay, but Emil must go. Fine with Todd going, but keep in mind anyone who replaces him will likely want to be like him so you'll probably just get a more incompetent Todd in his place.
>keep in mind anyone who replaces him will likely want to be like him
Not as bad as you think. Replicating Todd's 11 CHA stat won't be an easy feat, whoever tries to do his specialty simply won't sound the same.
Another muh engine moron. Literally would take less time and money to just hire my C++ developers to do some upgrades to the engine and refractoring work.
“But muh unreal is muh modern” unreal has been in an iterative design process since the 1990s

Emil Pagliarulo is such a fricking fraud, frick me
He single handedly running Bethesda face first into the ground with his decisions, everything from his 4 replies idea in Fallout 4 to his moronic galaxy exploration shit in Starfield
Thats also the nepotism problems of your designer being your writer and your games director, that homosexual legit thinks he can do everything, Todd is a cuck who cant keep his nepo hires in check.
i hope bethesda will be bankrupt before they even get to start working on TES6. elder scrolls doesn't deserve to go down like that. just let it end quietly like half life or PS1 one hit wonder games.
The people hating this hard on TES 6 before it is even announced make me think the critiques you have for their games only exist because they are popular
No, everybody is just realizing that Bethesda never made anything good in its entire existence and will go bankrupt before TES6 ever comes out. Blame nothing but Todd's incompetence for his own downfall.
Bethesda will never go bankrupt, theyll just fade so far out of obscurity nobody will care anymore. Think of Bioware now with MEA, Anthem and DAI. Horrible, abhorrently disgusting games that killed them to the point where no announcements or hype can save them. Nobody cares anymore after SF and people were wising up after FO4 and 76.
>and will go bankrupt before TES6 ever comes out.
Don't say that anon we haven't even seen the peak homogenization with our own eyes yet. Starefield is only the starter for the main course yet to arrive.
they said it would take 4-5 years, and they start AFTER the release of starfield, counting in an inevitable delay, the game won't be released until 2030+ by that time nothing from any of the previous titles will be retained
You gays don't get it. Starfield is just a proof-of-concept prototype for Elder Scrolls 6! Think of all the stuff you can actually do in this game and you'll quickly realize the game is in fact rather dense with content, it's just lacking in the proper context. Now they've released it to the public they've gotten tons of raw data on what works and what needs more polish. Starfield is only the bare bones of an experience yet to come, and its going to be glorious!
TES6 will be worse than Starfield in every way you can imagine.
I wholeheartedly believe this because every Bethesda game is worse than the previous one, and there is no reason whatsoever to believe that this will change.
In fact it would be downright foolish to think this won't be the case solely because you don't want it to be true, in the face of concrete and readily available proof.
This is just the ultimate conclusion of people constantly letting Bethesda get away with just being shit, making cope excuses for them and modding any problems away
>takes a page out of Capcom's playbook by banning the use of mods as they "hurt the brand image and corrupt the sanctity of public order" >leads you to their paywalled garden where you can purchase gameplay improvements to the core systems via subscription >you have to pay a weekly toll for bug fixes
The dialogue options might be the worst ever given in these games
Every time you pick an option, the NPC just has a "GOTCHA" moment and belittles whatever one of the two moronic options you were railroaded into taking
why are there four dialogue options if they are all the same anyway. is this telltale slop?
Looks like Slopfield, and it's because ~~*modern vidya*~~ is an absolute joke lmfao.

yeah that would be fricking moronic if a bunch of people had the same or similar names, i mean what were they thinking
>that sound confusingly similar
You are 100%, without a shred of doubt in my mind, unequivocally, a literal npc if you had trouble with these names.
It was actually just a joke about how they had to change names for the tv adaptation of GOT for the same reason

Still more memorable than anything in starfield
It was a marketing stunt to make grrm gays buy the game

Epic RPG, Todd
That's literally every RPG, at least in Beth games you can go anywhere and do anything you want
>literally every rpg
wrong
you cant do anything at all in a beth game, like killing important npcs
nobody wants that
Yeah bro GOTY didn't have that feature.
Oh wait, it did. The game reacts to everything the player does, be it good or bad. Meanwhile Bethesda treats the player like a toddler, constantly saying "No, no, no, you can't do that!" if the player tries to shoot anyone he doesn't like or complete an objective in an unconventional way.
People want depth and choice in their RPGs. BG3's success proves it, and more importantly, it proves Bethesda's "streamline and simply" philosophy totally fricking out of touch. The only reason Bethesda's 'RPGs' have been successful before is due to their atmosphere -- their art design, music and worldbuilding -- and the fact they've been working with pre-existing franchises. Starfield is the first time in memory BGS has made their own game off their own back, their own lore and story, everything done by Todd and his lackeys, and it's their most poorly recieved game to date.
If that doesn't get through your shill skull that Starfield is dogshit, nothing will.
*streamline and simplify (idk what else you'd call their habit from Oblivion onwards)
You can't go anywhere or do anything you want in Baldur's Gate
No, it's not an open world RPG, but the freedom it does give you has massive depth and complexity. The game accounts for your actions and responds logically and consistently.
Bethesda freedom is "Do you want to shoot this raider with a pistol or with a rifle?" or "Do you want to do Randomised Fetch Quest A first, or Randomised Fetch Quest B first?" It's freedom in its most meaningless sense and, judging by Starfield's awful critical reception, people aren't being fooled by it anymore.

Its actually amazing how people thought Oblivion and FO3 had laughably, obnoxious writing and themes and then 15 years later they got worse. How do you from shit to this? I'm glad Bethesda is fading out of the eye of gamers, they're going to become the next Bioware soon.
Skyrim got a lucky break because it offered an epic open world experience palatable for the casual masses that were all playing video games for the first time that year and thought it was the best shit they've ever seen.
First exposure effect is one hell of a drug
Skyrim also had a heck of a marketing campaign back in 2011. I think it helps a multitude of things, including internet culture felt "just right" at the time.
You're right. This would not be funny today but back in 2011 this video unironically made me want to play the game so bad
I've been waiting like 15 years for everyone to realize bethesda games were shit and now we're finally there I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it cathartic.
Oblivion writing is fine for the most part. Fallout 3 writing was dogshit but the fact that they were able to make a drier game like skyrim afterwards gave me hope that they could avoid Emil's moronic tone of they wanted to. Now I'm not so sure anymore

BRUH LOOK AT THESE VITALS WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE.....
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE
Why is mr incredible a crossdresser now ?
no no no posters
A female
this ego man..
Didn't he brag about how they didn't have a design document for starfield?
They haven't used design documents since F3 and beyond.
I love that this is the option you get for having a HIGH medical skill…
>>Your vitals are...No...No no no no...
what does it even mean?
really terrible transcription of your character trying to assess the situation using their medicine skills but realizing she's fricking dying
but like if they were in a shitty movie
"Those wounds are... Oh no."
Here, fixed it..
There are no wounds
And all that red under her, is tomato juice? It's just lazy hacks in bethesda didn't bother to making new skin for one scene.
1. [Medicine] OH NO NO NO WE GOT TOO wienerY SARAHBROS
that's not what this is moron
Yes it is. It's the entire issue. People who've never read a real book, watched a real movie, or had a complex thought in their head, are now in charge of writing for video games, and the end result is complete dogshit.
did you even watch the video you are talking about?
I read it in an Indian accent.
>NOOOOOO DO NOT REDEEM YOUR VITAL NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOO
Why does he do it?
Is it just me or is the worst thing here actually the unbroken staring eye contact. Like he moves his head but his eyes stay rigid. For Christ sake it's 2024 why can't we have NPCs that have believable mannerisms.
Back in Oblivion characters would glance to the side occasionally. That game's faces were indeed potatoes but I still find them a good deal more expressive than in their later games.
Post GOTY gameplay

Nobody is fooled.
Sir, you do not get xp for revisiting the same location sir.

the game was simply impressed he walked the entire planet, very cool
>XP for visiting the same location twice
Two different locations, Rajesh
>Average stargay IQ
im so disappointed that they did this.
i defended them and told people it wouldnt be like this because why would you release this to customers it'd be crazy right?
I feel like the golden age of gaming is kind of truly over.
Bethesda went ahead and meticulously produced a game that can NOT be fixed by mods. The golden age of gaming may be over but the age of tortanic blunders is now starting.
>Bethesda went ahead and meticulously produced a game that can NOT be fixed by mods.
yeah, that's exactly how I see it too, people will just straight move on right past it like it doesn't exist. There's not going to be some herculean effort to fix the game.
my wife has played and loved their games since morrowind and she completely skipped it for BG3 without blinking. we haven't even started starfield up.
Cool, but you still bought it right?
all the more weird because random generated levels are a thing, six days in fallujah makes some incredible random towns to fight in
>golden age is now over.
>now

Anon, the peak was long past us at this point.
There's tons of great games, but only indie games. We will never see a AAA game that isn't pajeet coded or woke garbage again.
imagine they gave Chris Avellone or Sam Lake a 200 million dollar budget instead of these fricks
you'd be having gay sex in a corridor while the magical Black lectures you about your white privilege
westoids cannot make games anymore
cods still vaguely fun
i wouldnt pay for it tho
insurgency sandstorms fun
i stick to pre 2020 games tho with minimal or no mtx and no esg
gaming sucks now but its still fun
it sucked in the 360 era too cuz anything that wasnt a 9 out of 10 was fricking terrible goyslop
cod is a shadow of its former self. old cods had kino action, nucod is just bland propaganda slop
You will never be Japanese.
your children will be trannies
The gay engine is too OUTDATED
Skyrim is barely functional and that is 2011
Todd is insane to think that engine could hold up to 2023 standard not to mention being the game with that kind of scale
It’s not merely outdated, it’s that the engineers are incapable of actually fixing it, thus it will never be fixed.
Yeah they should scarp it all for a new one
But I guess Starfield is still profitable? So no hope for that
What does the engine have anything to do with it? There's simply too much space for all of it to be populated with unique and interesting content. The end result of this moronic open-world wankoff race to see who can say that they created "the BIGGEST world map to date!" is barren wastelands of recycled bandit hideouts.
Unreal is outdated literally came out in the 1990s.
The only thing that would make me happy is knowing that SF officially bombed. Nothing this lazy should've been made.
Shartfield is the logical conclusion of bethesda's rabid and delusional wienersucking "fans" constantly praising mediocrity purely because they can mod away all the bad.
>Nothing this lazy should've been made.
the most baffling thing is that apparently it was "ready" for release 2 or so years ago and microsoft told them to finish it. game feels unfinished now so god only knows what it was like back then
everything.
the engine's limitations make it feel like you're playing a game from 15 years ago like homie you can't even have a fully open town so you have loading screens for entering shops. and then they sneak in more unskippable cut scenes when they are obviously pseudo loading screens because the engine sucks
the quest design makes it feel like you're playing a game from 15 years ago. go talk to someone, he tells you to go do something, you go do something (99% of the time you just go shoot something for 5 minutes) and then you go back to the main guy (homie we have space travel can't i just email you)
the combat is shit. you can just literally stand still and shoot till you win.
systems in the game are moronic like base building is half assed and crafting is useless when the game shits new, better gear on you.
the writing sucks. the characters are all the same.
the only positive i will say about this game is that there are THREE good missions: getting chased by the xenomorph; exploring the prison in the pirate quest; the snake people embassy mission. someone accidentally designed those well
>the engine's limitations
its not the engine
its the people using the engine forgetting what the engine can do and leaving shit out of the game
fricking skyrim and fallout had npcs react when you attacked/shot gusn around them and they just dont in starfield.
theres a bunch of shit that the garbage engine should be able to do and has done in previous games that they just left out.
Judging by what modders can do with script extenders, I think that is true.
The programers are outright moronic.
More like designers too with Emil not giving a shit about documents
No you fricking moron, this is the dumbest contrarian opinion I keep seeing. IT IS THE ENGINE, IT'S A BROKEN PILE OF SHIT, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A DECADE AGO. It can't even keep itself from crashing in vanilla, it can't handle a cell bigger than a walmart, the physics are chunky and dated, you could go on for hours about all its shortcomings. It's too fricking old.
Shut your fricking mouth, ignorant idiot.
You're so fricking stupid, jesus christ. Have you ever tried the mods that expand on the script and add new stuff? Stuff like sim settlements in F4 or something? It makes the game seize up and crash constantly. There's plenty you can "do" in the creative engine, it doesn't mean shit if the game can't handle it for more than four seconds.
Shut you fricking ignorant mouth, you dumb bawd.
have a nice day you dumb Black person, why even defend a company as shitty as bethesda, why argue in bad faith? Anyone who knows anything knows it's old garbage, maybe you should just listen to us instead of blindly contradicting the truth like a homosexual teenager.
>defend a company
You are too fricking stupid to let live.
>sim settlements
A buggy bloated piece of shit will make even "non shit" engines halt the frick up.
Better example would be the penis mod for Skyrim that will break saves because somehow a papyrus script that handles NPC erection values is too much for Todd.
Any engine can only be as good as the programmer using it.
And even if suddenly Camrack would work for them, they would not change the engine.
They NEED Gamebryo.
Because it's all they know.
And it makes life of modders easier, meaning they can halfass more
>it makes life of modders easier
Never forget the stupid fricking way Skyrim handled the animation files which necessitated the need for 3rd party tools like FNIS, Nemesis, and Pandora. I assume even the fricking monkeys at Bethesda understood it was a problem because Fallout 4 doesn't require it.
This. Current Bethesda doesn't even have one semi-competent programmer.
>mini loading screens between tiles in Morrowind
>invisible walls between tiles (which are all connected) in Starfield
I don't understand how they could be so incompetent. Starfield even has some impressive stuff, like planets are actually there, they're not 2d jpegs, you just can't fly between or around them because your ship is too slow.
It was a critical failure but commercially it succeeded.
>no grass
>low res ground textures
>literally just rocks, no foliage
>no fancy lighting
they need a ssd for this shit?
fricking rdr2 shits all over this, so do all the ass creed games, for all that fallout 4 did wrong, even fallout 4 had an amazingly dense and handcrafted recreation of post-apocalyptic boston, 2077's night city is blade runner kino in terms of overall aesthetic design

kek! you wiener sucking homosexuals clearly never played this game
it was never failed the internet really just has hate boner towards Microsoft.
This dude LITERALLY TURNED AROUND and you people were too stupid to notice.
You like having a down syndrome?
>but somehow gained the xp for discovering a NEW (copy and pasted) location
it honestly boggles my mind that POI layouts aren't randomly generated from a set of modules
literally all the systems are in place for that
I wasn't expecting much from starfield, but they still managed to disappoint
It is fricking insane how worse this game actually was than Fallout 4 on a writing level. I bet Will Shen left because everything he wrote or passed on as an idea was blocked by Emil and the various disgusting marriageless hags they have in the writers room now
and now the game is hated by marriageless virgins on Ganker... lol.
Our fantasies would entertain all men even the married ones, the women are just fricking downers no matter what
I am married and still hate the game
Good morning sir
>Giant pool of blood
>Literally not a single drop on the character or the one holding her
>No visible wounds or even red marks to suggest injuries
Could they not at least have done a basic red mark anywhere on her model? Anything to suggest an actual life-threatening injury/wound?
Christ almighty.
Too much for Gamebryo.
Fricking Fallout 76 has dismemberment and visual damage to enemies you hit. I'm not asking for the character to be missing an arm, but even some specks of blood on her would be something.
There are so many problems with Starfield, but they couldn't even manage something they've been doing since Oblivion. Even in a specific, dramatic scene where your entire focus is on the character. It's actually baffling how lazy it is.
TF2 Heavy just came by and punched out all her blood simple as
<Heavy's voice> No!
>pool of blood
looks more like strawberry jelly to me, and she had no blood on herself
I think she accidentally dropped a jar of jelly then slipped on it
Yeah, the "blood" is too chunky looking around the edges of the pool. Clearly she fell in the jelly and broke her neck.
Do you have any idea how much that would cost?
They can't even get ladders to work.
They can but in your ship same as gzero only in special close dungeons
It looks like she slipped and fell on some water more than anything else

your medicine skill and years of medical education allow you to check the pulse of a dying lady
this game looks and feels like it was made by people who never leave their house and spend most of their time consuming media like netflix series and movie remakes.
Have you seen the nightclubs clubs in this game? It's made by a bunch of dorks who never seen a butt or boob before. This game has absolute no edge to it everything is sterile asf https://youtu.be/ws0ufhrgWJw

Starfield is a game made without love.

Todd's real passion project is to picture the perfect ratio of making you part with your money and putting in as little effort as possible
what do you mean? the writers love israelites very much
The one good thing in Starfield is being able to blow up that colony ship
just play their old games lol

I'd say this definitely qualifies.

I like the implication that you need to be a medical expert for the first one
All those affirmative action doctors really killed educational standards.
What is medicine but the ability to check for pulses and tell when people are merely pretending to be dead?
i wonder how many playtesters died of ruptured kidneys from laughing so hard during the development of this game

Yeah it is oddly enough.
I mean, the point is valid, just worded really badly.
The Legion in general was gimped pretty bad when Obsidian gutted them into becoming a one-note super-duper bad guy baddie faction, though I don't remember why they did it, I'm guessing they just ran out of time like with everything else.
even gimped they're more interesting and nuanced than anything in the BGS fallout games.
This.
Everything went wrong, the whole thing's a shitfest of the highest order.

Are you aware that some of Starfields guns share the same specific animation bug that the guns from a fallout 4 mod does? Specifically, the double barrel partial reload?
nta but what part of devs fricking up and causing the same bug means the devs actually learned anything from popular mods
seems like sheer laziness and incompetence, not any inspired effort to learn from quality
Yeah, there was a big stink about that a while back, which I thought was pretty funny.
>Obsidian gutted them into becoming a one-note super-duper bad guy baddie faction
they werent
Does what, plant a seed of doubt into someone that stretching out this far and being weakened after a grand battle is fertile soil for internal collapse?
>IF GO WEST, WHAT BOUT EAST???
>wow i can't believe i never thought about that
Why did it fail this bad though?
Was it rushed? Or is it the engine? Poojeet devs?
Because people genuinely wanted to like, but it's just not that good.
everything that could have gone wrong except obvious bugs did go wrong
It took like eight years to make. It certainly wasn't rushed.
The sad truth is just that Bethesda is ran by incompetent, boring boomers. Their experience of the world revolves around driving from their insulated suburban homes to the office, engaging in petty, dry office politics, and driving back home to their nagging wife. No wonder the game reflects that existence perfectly.
I could have forgiven them basically everything bad in the gameplay if only the setting itself was interesting. Too bad the setting of starfield is utterly fricking boring and I got tired of playing the game within like a week. The ship building is what intrigued me the most about the game and it kept me engaged for a while but after building my ultimate battleship and assaulting the crimson fleet space station, destroying their fleet there, only to realize that I can't destroy the space station itself, I finally got fed up and dropped the game
people keep saying its the engine's fault but its not
they could've done well enough with the engine. The problem is poor writing and poor game design. Its like the game was made by 12 different teams who never communicated with each other once, and some butthole just shoddily glued it all together come launch time.
if they had just put an ounce of love into it, it would be a nice game
Bethesda has been rewarded for their failures for more than a decade, so they didn't feel the need to step up their game. simple as
>what her vital signs doctor?
>no
maybe she's merely pretending to be dead
You cant kill her in gameplay even with a nuke or kicking it to the sun so yes
>[medicine]
You need a phd in medicine in order to read a biomonitor in Starfield?
Yes and have sneak training to crouch the absolute state of starshit
I don't care what Ganker says even current day Obisidian completely mogs Bethesda I just played the Outer Worlds and Pentiment.
The difference between those and this is night and day I can't wait for Avowed.
> Outer worlds can allow killing everyone except the most obnoxious npc that looks like rick
I killed my companions parents and she gets mad at you but you can intimidate her into staying.
You can also kill Parvartis gf early on and it won't matter much but if you do it later on when they date she seethes.
I enjoy that attention to detail.
It's a race to the bottom now
Outer Worlds I don't know about but Pentiment was kino
Outer Worlds is mediocre. Pentiment is amazing. But it's not even the same genre as Fallout, Skyrim or Starfield so the comparison isn't really there.
Its the same genre as starshit: TELEPORT SPACE SHIPS RPG
He was saying Pentiment isn't the same genre.

Am I the only one who couldn't get into Skyrim?
For years I felt like a crazy person because it just felt like a very mid game with a boring story and quests and I just kept dropping it.
All this Starfield hate makes me feel vindicated.
The Bethesda formula has been seeing diminishing returns due to its inability to improve
Fallout 4, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Oblivion were all dogshit.
I always thought that it's normies trying to cover their porn mods
>N-no no... It's a great game! This is why I play it for so long...
It gets more boring every year. The Skyrim forumla is that people are playing for 10 hours, then installing new mods and starting over.
2011 was a good year for me so I personally enjoyed it at the time. But I cant replay it and recapture how I felt then.
Consider what other options people had for open world fantasy at the time and you'll understand why it was successful.
>Our ratings are... No... No no no no...
SIR PLEASE DO NOT REDEEM THE NEGATIVE REVIEW NO NO NOOO
Wonder if it's gonna go below 60.
I imagine the Steam forums are full of morons defending the game like it's their life mission.
You're equally moronic
Why imagine when you can sift through each review and find out yourself
Why would I inflict that upon meself
Genuine question, why do all the characters in starfield look ugly or old?
Western developers think beauty is discriminatory or something
Because they didn't balance the scales on random character generation. For example, there's like a dozen variations of old man wrinkles, and only one option (no wrinkles) is youthful. If you use pure balanced randomization then only 1 in 12 characters will be young, which I think is what they did. You'd need to balance the odds to favor the young to get an even spread of old and young, and I don't think they thought of that.
Here's a random npc in cyberpunk that mogs all of starfield
>2077
>women still carry a dumb inefficient purse around that doesn't even have straps, let alone fit into a pocket, which they don't have anyway
It's more convenient to get all of your belongings stolen in a single pull
it's called fashion
That one is so fricking hot ngl.
cyberpunk will at least have a redemption arc
Lmao no, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The game might be "fixed" when it comes to most bugs, but a lot of features promised at launch still aren't there. The damage is done. And PL was an underwhelming piece of movie garbage.
i still believe, and they're making a sequel
Which is even more pathetic since they sacrificed their original story for this "V is dying rdr2 wannabe" bullshit and wrote themselves in a corner. Hard to start a franchise when you kill off your protagonist game one. And now they don't even have the backbone to see it through, to commit to their story, and they're changing it for sequel bait. Utterly pathetic.
>masculine forehead wrinkles
>receding hairline
what's the point of adding shit like this? "muh graphical detail"?
Uncanny valley effect of "high-tier" animation, deliberate uglification due to ideology and shit tier designers.
Unironically, if they had a lore reason for the entire human race being 90% morlocks and acknowledged it, it would have been accepted. Just handwave it as dysgenics caused by tech development, culture of hideousness, MC being a porn-brained coomer who is used to hyperreality or genetic drift caused by humans spreading out, and it would have served as a cool story point. Any one of those would have been fine to expand upon, but its instead treated as "WHY DO YOU CARE?! ALL FORMS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!".
A side-story on why there are few beautiful models among the masses of moronic genetic detritus would have been interesting, especially if you factor in the spaceship that arrives 200+ years later and would not be a masquerade of morons.
But no, its NASApunk. Shit is ugly, and you are a bigot if you notice.

At this point, it seems like using the same engine is more work (dollars wasted in wrangling it around and making it work, bugfixes, etc) than just making a new one would be.

The engine is Todd's child. He can't just kill it.
Abortion, even post term, is supported in the West.
Todd should stop being a chud.
What would you do if Phil Spencer hired you to fix Bethesda, giving you complete control over them. Hard mode: you can't fire any trannies or women.
Force them to watch a thousand "how to make your first unreal game" on youtube.
Completely throw out Creation Engine.
Making a new engine just so it can look and do on par with other commercial engines while running slightly worse or slightly better is a waste of time and outsourcing.
Id fricked themselves with IdTech69 or whatever iteration of DooM Eternal is where all that engine can do is make an ADHD shooter. Nobody wants to use anything IdTech related even in Bethesda's other teams except Machine Games which has made nothing but shooters.
Force them to give up on modders and modding support. Modders do not make money. Paid mods are a complete fricking failure as both mods and micro-dlc especially when they are not even priced well.
Remove Emil and Todd from the coporate structure entirely. They will no longer give any direct input to any project, they will act as the middle man between BGS and MS and nothing more.
>kill off mods
Congrats you killed the company, dumbass
Mods are the only thing keeping their shit games afloat
Their games are shit, Bethesda has a major seniority issue where theres tons of veteran devs that are complacent and havent learned shit
You want to kill off mods and still keep the company? Fire everyone and hire competent people
Let's see...
>Correct
>Correct
>Correct
>Fricking wrong: Modders are the only thing saving their games, and if you remove mods there will be no consumer trust. Right on paid mods.
>Todd can stay, but Emil must go. Fine with Todd going, but keep in mind anyone who replaces him will likely want to be like him so you'll probably just get a more incompetent Todd in his place.
>keep in mind anyone who replaces him will likely want to be like him
Not as bad as you think. Replicating Todd's 11 CHA stat won't be an easy feat, whoever tries to do his specialty simply won't sound the same.
Another muh engine moron. Literally would take less time and money to just hire my C++ developers to do some upgrades to the engine and refractoring work.
“But muh unreal is muh modern” unreal has been in an iterative design process since the 1990s

Now that’s a quality post.
Emil Pagliarulo is such a fricking fraud, frick me
He single handedly running Bethesda face first into the ground with his decisions, everything from his 4 replies idea in Fallout 4 to his moronic galaxy exploration shit in Starfield
Thats also the nepotism problems of your designer being your writer and your games director, that homosexual legit thinks he can do everything, Todd is a cuck who cant keep his nepo hires in check.
i really hope they have kirkbride working on 6
Unlikely, but at least they've got Emil!
just give her a stimpack or whatever they are called in starfield
>mfw people are beginning to realize Bethesda has NEVER made a good game
they made 1 good one.
In spite of themselves.

I romanced Andreja, but my choice was between Barrett and Sam for some reason.
I saw it coming so I sacrificed Barrett.
expect es6 to be dogshit if emil is still doing the writing.
expect ludikino if kirkbride is doing it.
If you expected Bethesda to make something good post morrowind you're not too bright.
VITAL BROS NOT LIKE THIS
You need to go med school to be able to say
> No... no no no no no....
Someone needs to tell them that short dialogue prompts are fine sometimes. We don't need to either pad them out or make them HATE NEWSPAPER.
They made 1 million RPGs, they should know that by now.
what's with pajeets and bethesda anyway, is it just another manifestation of eating shit?
i hope bethesda will be bankrupt before they even get to start working on TES6. elder scrolls doesn't deserve to go down like that. just let it end quietly like half life or PS1 one hit wonder games.
>gigantic puddle of blood
>no visible wounds
nice
small indie dev with no budget, plz understand.
this is a mod, right?
like some weird deviantart guy made this screenshot and wrote the dialogue
there's no way this is official bethesda material
Looks like they used chat GPT for dialogues.
The people hating this hard on TES 6 before it is even announced make me think the critiques you have for their games only exist because they are popular
No, everybody is just realizing that Bethesda never made anything good in its entire existence and will go bankrupt before TES6 ever comes out. Blame nothing but Todd's incompetence for his own downfall.
>Bethesda will go bankrupt
Has this ever happened to any games studio owned by Microsoft?
Bethesda won't run out of money and if they do they're just going to sell skyrim again or did you forget they have two MMO games for catching whales.
Bethesda will never go bankrupt, theyll just fade so far out of obscurity nobody will care anymore. Think of Bioware now with MEA, Anthem and DAI. Horrible, abhorrently disgusting games that killed them to the point where no announcements or hype can save them. Nobody cares anymore after SF and people were wising up after FO4 and 76.
>and will go bankrupt before TES6 ever comes out.
Don't say that anon we haven't even seen the peak homogenization with our own eyes yet. Starefield is only the starter for the main course yet to arrive.
they said it would take 4-5 years, and they start AFTER the release of starfield, counting in an inevitable delay, the game won't be released until 2030+ by that time nothing from any of the previous titles will be retained
This whole thread is nothing but third worlders.
good, not taking either world powers side is based, 1st and 2nd world powers are gayolas.
You gays don't get it. Starfield is just a proof-of-concept prototype for Elder Scrolls 6! Think of all the stuff you can actually do in this game and you'll quickly realize the game is in fact rather dense with content, it's just lacking in the proper context. Now they've released it to the public they've gotten tons of raw data on what works and what needs more polish. Starfield is only the bare bones of an experience yet to come, and its going to be glorious!
>Your vital are... No... No no no no...
This is so painfully american
>there are """""people"""""on Ganker RIGHT NOW that shilled this dogshit slop
>unconscious body lying in a fricking bloodbath
>hey snap out of it
TES6 will be worse than Starfield in every way you can imagine.
I wholeheartedly believe this because every Bethesda game is worse than the previous one, and there is no reason whatsoever to believe that this will change.
In fact it would be downright foolish to think this won't be the case solely because you don't want it to be true, in the face of concrete and readily available proof.
This is just the ultimate conclusion of people constantly letting Bethesda get away with just being shit, making cope excuses for them and modding any problems away
>takes a page out of Capcom's playbook by banning the use of mods as they "hurt the brand image and corrupt the sanctity of public order"
>leads you to their paywalled garden where you can purchase gameplay improvements to the core systems via subscription
>you have to pay a weekly toll for bug fixes
it was all downhill after morrowind, they grasped greatness then immediately let it sleep through their fingers.
I like the game tbh, modded some economy stuff and damage stuff and bam im just a space trucker and im tryna HAUL
>bam im just a space trucker and im tryna HAUL
More like you're a loading-screen trucker
As much as pajeets annoy me, this reads more like something modern white women write
The dialogue options might be the worst ever given in these games
Every time you pick an option, the NPC just has a "GOTCHA" moment and belittles whatever one of the two moronic options you were railroaded into taking
Last time i did that, the Black person sprang back on his feet and the girl disappeared. Classic Bethesda jank
