I knew the exploration was going to be a hang up the minute they said you couldn't just land on a planet or launch directly into space without a loading screen. That was one of the BIGGEST selling points of No Man's Sky. Missing that is a big deal. Also, that bug you showed where one character basically rushed the screen mid conversation and then the camera panned to see the other character all up in your face... was terrifying LOL.

That’s what I love about Elite Dangerous. There are essentially no loading screens and the entire Milky Way galaxy to explore. You jump from system to system, pull up the full spectrum scanner and track the signals each celestial body puts out, then you fly around the star and fly all the way to that glorious 2 biological rocky/icy planet, shoot out your surface scanning probes, locate the fungoida, fly down through the atmosphere and pick your landing spot while hovering over the surface, gently set down your ship and hop into the rover, drive to the mushroom, and get out to scan it. But once you get there, it’s so boring, you scan the mushrooms and leave, only flora, no fauna. No fights, hardly any space pirates outside the bubble. Which makes sense; no one’s hauling cargo out there. But that’s buy and large the best way to make money. I was hoping starfield was going to be a story version of Elite in a sense. Because Elite is a space-sim not a story. It’s just fallout but in space. God damn Bethesda.

If you're planning to start playing Starfield after the June update, you're in for a treat. Most of the bugs I encountered during my initial 40 hours of gameplay at launch have been fixed, and there have been many improvements, including new modes and a vehicle system. The main story is great, but the side quests are where the game truly shines. The various faction missions and the side quests you encounter while exploring different planets are fantastic-it's classic Bethesda at its best. I’ve completed over 100 hours in Starfield and still can't wait to get home and unfold the next side quest, which usually take a decent 2-3 hours. Enjoy!

I always check the reviews from those who make that sacrifice of buying the game and taking the time to explore it and go through many aspects of the game and show visuals and explaining the games mechanics and NPC's etc.... This takes time I know and gameranx your team is very important and needed and we thank you guys for going above and beyond to make this video and content for "Before You Buy". That's why I never get into the hype of any game that is being hyped up before its release date and or buying the vault edition or the day 1 or preserving game. Another thing I just don't seem to understand and that is why would anyone need to reserve a game when these games are almost 100% digital?

It’s because they get your money early and for some reason people feel like preordering is some ego / culture thing. I really don’t get it. Most people agree preordering is useless in todays time yet stats show more and more do it every year despite the benefits becoming more and more lackluster. No one’s really sure. Most of the defense for pre orders are just “because I wanted to”. I know this isn’t an answer but I’ve seen a lot of discussions about preordering and it’s usually always the same people saying they’ll never do it and then boom, half of them end up preordering. That and most people who preorder games also aren’t terminally online or discussing with other gamers. They see a game online, or in an ad, and then they preorder and wait the countdown.

The ship building as mentioned was one of the better features for me too. I went from pretty much using generic starter ships and one I stole that I upgraded slightly, I jumped from that to investing 4 points into piloting and 4 more points into ship building and transitioned from a beginner ship to one that has over 20,000kg cargo space and still great speed, defense and weapons lol. I made an absolute behemoth. It did however cost me 690,000 and that's basically why I went from basic to best immediately, as I figured if I just keep upgrading incrementally it would cost a lot more overall and probably closer to a million if I did it step by step, and well... I haven't earned a million credits yet, I spent every credit I had on the ship lol.

I’m not too far in yet but my biggest problem with it has definitely been the space traversal. In No Man’s Sky you could fly right up to a planet and pick literally anywhere you wanted to land. Here you select it with a menu and pick from maybe 3 or 4 spots you can fast travel to :/

Great review thanks :)

played a few hours and disappointed so far in the immersion/storytelling aspect. spoilers for the first couple missions: i picked the dream house and kid stuff traits and imagined my character as picking up this dangerous mining gig to be able to support their family and finance their house. then 20 minutes in my boss is telling me i dont have a job anymore and my only option is to be like yeah okay! bro i got a mortgage to pay i dont care about getting to the bottom of some weird acid trip i had cause i touched a rock. i wish the stakes were higher so i could at least feel like continuing with the main story is something that my character would do. just thought it was weird that they offered these cool traits to shape your character and then immediately put your character in a situation where you have to roleplay against that shaping. eventually got to the museum and got a run-down of the worldbuilding and i realize it probably feels shallow because i got it told to me through a series of images and voiceovers instead of experiencing it myself, but the game does kind of encourage you to interact with the museum and learn the story through that first as opposed to learning naturally. also - i haven't met all the companions yet or interacted enough to form a full opinion but so far they feel pretty bland. especially in forms of physical design. i mean, sarah's arguably the main companion and she looks like any other npc in the city. edit: played some more and some of the dialogue is really unnatural. one of the first sarah dialogue options is asking her if she believes in any of the religions. it would make sense if it was tied to you having one of the religion traits or a location or even if you were just asking her about constellations creed - but youre literally just like hi i met you 5 minutes ago do you believe in divine atheism or snake god? :D probably seems like a silly thing to ruin my experience but a good story and being able to immerse myself in the world and the roleplay of my character is my main priority in single-player games. that being said, the combat has been fun so far and the world environments are beautiful so im not giving up yet in finding the enjoyment in the game, but it's definitely gotten bumped to the backlog.

As always. Thanks for putting in the early work for everyone to get an idea of what they are getting into

Even when the game glitches in ridiculous ways like the panther that was distorted in one of my cinamatics and was doing interesting things like trying to be bipedal and talking (it was Halsan, for some reason his wildshape didn't dismiss and I'd been sneaking around so panther was ideal)

If you like sci-fi and Fallout/Skyrim you’ll love this game. The intro is pretty bland, but just do a few story missions, then go explore. Iv been enjoying it since early release. Unless you’re expectations were unrealistic, I think most Bethesda fans will enjoy this a lot. A few points: - shooting is like improved Fallout 4. Felt good to me - Surprisingly the 3rd person looks/moves great. - The main quest is MY favorite from Bethesda this far - You can land on planets even if there isn’t a marker there. You can also dock onto other ships and space stations (thought that was cool) - plenty clothes and suit options. You can looks like a bounty hunter to looking like a alien stripper. - you have to unlock mechanics like stealth bar, pickpocketing, combat slide, etc - planets tend to look mostly barren but you never know with Bethesda

no. I loved most bethesda games since morrowind. even ones like fallout 4 and fallout 76 i still could have fun with. this one was a chore. i did the quests up to mars including all side quests along the way. took my time explored 10 planets between. the storyline is boring. the exploration is horrible everything is the same or similiar copy pasted elements. buildings only have a few types and you run into ones that are exact copies of some previous ones. alot of threads on steam detailed how other players felt and many seemed to feel the same during the early access period. many of us refunded mine was at 20 hours. before the game completely released and we no longer could. so no if you like fallout skyrim sci fi that does not mean you will love this game.

I actually like how Bethesda tackled overencumbered here. Instead of locking your move speed to walking only they still gave you the option to sprint in exchange for a faster O2 decrease rate. Which, makes sense imho. since carrying a lot of stuff tire you out faster when exerting more effort

Yup! Just be optimistic

I wish you dove more into the mechanics. The feel of the movement, the weapons, the ship navigation and movement.

At least he’s honest. It took so long to make. This game is a great example that helps improve how fast games are made. It’d be cool to see more investments in games that actually take 10 years to make. My lord can the budget be hefty but if the gaming industry wants more realistic, yet inherent interactions within a game it would certainly be worth it. I wish they allowed more opportunities to make things from scratch. Especially with structures. It would be neat to be able to have the ability to customize really small details such as how something is wrapped, where you actually work with the elements of crafting items. Along with having actual opportunities to barter more precisely rather than just collecting mere elements with basic opportunities to sell. Yet in respects to the culture this game comes from its quite magnificent- its really neat how they further integrated previous objective and interface styles within this game- as it allows people who are familiar with Skyrim and Fallout the ability to easily adapt. It’s such a large and prestigious game- which further gives less rights to assume such menial tasks should be incorporated as it could easily cause issues for economic development if not studied through the prospects of sociological development.

I've never been a huge fan of procedurally generated game worlds, and this does nothing to convince me that they're a good thing. I wish they would have just worked on a small handful of planets in different systems instead of having hundreds, or "a thousand" planets that are for the most part all procedurally generated. It just leads to so many copy and paste situations which is super immersion breaking if you're having to run through the exact same "abandoned laboratory" on different planets. I think the modding community is going to be doing a LOT of work on this one.

As much as I wanted it to be Starfield, Baldurs Gate 3 is definitely grabbing game of the year for me no questions asked. Played a review copy of SF for 24 hrs, and ill be playing BG3 until the week 1 bugs are fixed by Bethesda.

bg3 is good. They updated it today again. But bg3 was in early acess for like 2 years.

Baldurs Gate 3 is the better game. Persona 5 Royal is still the greatest RPG and the greatest game that was ever made to me.

​@@MakamaFEETbaldurs gate 3 doesn't have Bethesda money let's not compare even with their early access. Not to mention Bethesda would rather charge full price for an early access title and sell it as release ready product. Not specifically starfield, but other games at least

That was my FIRST thought at the trailer "why does everything look so gray?" and boy was I right. Strangely, the colors are SO toned down, it's bizarre why they'd do that, but that seems pretty par for the course for a Bethesda game.

Lot of opportunity for reshade presets to get the game looking exactly how you'd like then. Only available on PC though...

Yeah. It looks so dull. I don't even want to imagine hours of it.

Amazing video

I’ve had 10 reviews hype this game like the second coming of Christ. Thank you for bringing realistic expectations. Edit: I’ve been playing and god damn is this a good game lol

Between Jake, GmanLives, and ACG. I get everything I need to feel comfortable buying or passing on a game. Thanks for all these videos Jake and team!!!

gamepass is the best option always. 1 month un sub lots of games to try and you should try single player games through the cloud streaming

This has got to be one of your better videos. Sets up expectations in a balanced manner. Couldn't have asked for a better review from you.

@@oliverhopkins8074 I'm personally going to at least try it. I don't really lose anything since it's free on GP.

Modest Pelican's review is a must watch. I'll wait a year to see if they improve the various flaws in it.

Always hold your breath with video games these days. Much respect Jake!

It's weird to see Starfield is finally out.
