      Yes, it's one of these games people decades later will pick apart trying to figure out how did a game releases in 2023 just completely ignore all the advancements and features present in games released before and just make people pay for a product with loading screens galore, outdated graphics, no true space travel, barely existent AI, barren empty purposeless "open worlds" and no vehicles.

        Probably means the progressions systems, because yes, Bethesda has way better progression systems than like 90% of RPGs because Bethesda was the first to realize that survival crafting games do it better.

          Anonymous

          idk I feel like progression in Starfield is a massive downgrade - you can't actually boost with your boost pack unless you spend a skill point on it, you need to unlock the ability to see when you're sneaking/detected... Like on the one hand I'm glad they didn't go and make you look like a god straight out the gate like FO4 (early power armor + deathclaw fight) but it's also just more of a slog than it needs to be

          • 2 weeks ago
            Anonymous

            Yeah, I think Starfield's opening retroactively justified a lot of Skyrim and FO4's design decisions despite boomer protests. For one, it's just too slow and plops you down into New Atlantis with zero context on how the game actually plays so players get stuck on lame city fetch quests that literally only exist to familiarize you with the layout. They're fine for that utility, but not when they also happen to be the majority of the quests players will encounter first. And secondly, it soft locks players into a specific build before they even know what build they want to play.

              New Atlantis damages the game so much. The other areas and quests are so much better but the first major landmark in every playthrough is touching down in the ugly city with ugly buildings and ugly people and terrible performance with fetch quests. Which is a shame because I had more fun immediately once I left it or when I went into the well.

                You don't need as much buildup as New Vegas. Just a starter town and basic adventuring to contextualize the experience a little bit which all Bethesda games did up until Starfield. Shit even Morrowind started you out in Seyda Neen. If it had dumped you in Vivec City out the gate, it would have the exact same problem as Starfield.

New vegas has 1 emergent conflict in goodsprings and gives you a myriad of ways to resolve it (or ignore altogether)

    Terrible example. Pynchon's whole shtick is that he writes ornate descriptions and details. He paints these beautiful images but there is no connective tissue because he has no fucking clue how to write a story. In particular he has no idea how to write a true to life character because of his larger than life caricature description addiction.

    So he displays exactly what you are complaining about. His prose entertains adhd readers because each sentence in isolation is enjoyable to consume. The gestalt of the work is hollow and pointless, but those readers do not have the attention span to develop that perception because they are kept constantly stimulated.

            The field of my slave outpost I built on an isolated alien planet I discovered during my space travels? I can't wait to return. But not all white men want to own space plantations my Black friend and it's racist of you to assume so, some just want to haul cargo or hunt down the bounties on thugs. That's the beauty of a game like this that the simple melinated mind wondering why the deceptive dopamine dripfeed they've become accustomed to is absent wouldn't understand

          The 1060 can run the game at the same level as the Series S. Aka 30 FPS and less than 1080p. Which is completely unacceptable on PC, but consolefags est that shit up anyway.

    Then why does it give you XP popups in the middle of the screen every ten feet?

    Why is the progression system not designed around gradually building up your character, but randomly finding EPIC RARE PURPLE LEGENDARY GUNS in a crate?

    Why does almost every quest involve shooting people?

    Why is it impossible to feel an ounce of solitude as even the most barren of planets will spawn ships of pirates for you to kill?

    Why does the mining intro last 1/10th the length of the vault in Fallout 3?

    Why are you given your own ship in the first fifteen minutes of the game instead of having to buy one or steal one like a real RPG?

    Why do damage numbers and hitmarkers flood the screen whenever you fire a gun?

    Why does it generate infinite quests for you to never run out of things to kill?

    Why are you such a retard?

            I think it's fair to question the point of including 1000 planets when the vast majority of them are either completely empty or have the same recycled progen POIs. I've encountered the same exact crashed ship, positioned the same exact way, with the same little tent outside it, with the same loot, probably 6 or 7 times on different planets. And when you bring this up the most common response is
            >well duh of course all the procedurally generated stuff is bad, just focus on the handcrafted quest locations
            Which isn't really a defense at all IMO. A central focus of the marketing and hype for this game was having this whole galaxy to explore, and most of it isn't worthwhile. So you're basically just being told

              I swear people fall for corpo speak all the fucking time and it's hilarious. Todd 'the liar' Howard, in interviews speaks corpo words that are technically true but not in the way you want. You CAN explore, it's just garbage repeated content. You CAN explore planets but it's relegated to scanning minerals and life and considers it surveyed when you finish that, 'explored'. We live in an age of constant bullshots and fake trailers/images that don't look like the final product or come even close and yet people REALLY THOUGHT that starfield was somehow gonna be something other than fallout 76 in space, including it's garbage crafting being locked behind perk ranks

                I think Todd's problem is that he really let the fame go to his head. You can tell he just fucking LOVES being out on stage, soaking up the applause and adoration of his fans. He wants to be the pop idol of vidya, and the rush he gets from all the clapping seals is so addictive he has to keep pushing the limits of truth to hit the same high. I just hope one day he gets the help he so desperately needs.

I can almost excuse things like seeing the same Earth-like pine trees and other vegetation popping up on planets thousands of light years away but taken together, it still totally pulls you out of any sense of immersion you might have. It makes the galaxy feel incredibly *small* and artificial

    >class system reintroduced
    >class affects dialogue for a certain number of NPCs (at least gangster has a lot)

    >no voiced protagonist thank God
    >proper dialogue choices and not X.) Sarcastic
    >gunplay is much improved, far from world changing though
    >the random generation and quest structure is very reminiscent of daggerfall
    >the main quest is interesting and fakes you out, making you think it's a chosen one story when you're just one pilgrim among many making the journey to unity
    >God is real, humans are made in gods image, there are no other intelligent races other than humans

    I think Bethesda at least listened to criticism with this one, so there's that. Overall though I wouldn't recommend playing it because the performance isn't great and it relies heavily on random generation, if you don't like that you'll hate the game. I enjoyed it but it still leaves a lot to be desired. I really wish the dungeons were bigger, they're still bigger than Skyrim or fallout 4 but I miss getting completely lost in daggerfall labyrinths. Just pirate it if you want to check it out, shit has no copy protection. You morons are so quick to freak out over nothing.
