No, this is poor game design, an example of the most egregious mistake being that there are vast distances with nothing to do but travel. Gameplay rules say that no two points of interest or activity should be over 30 seconds away. Then there's the populated spaces of a large spacefaring civilization that has had time to settle down and mature...yet the cities are barely the size of a neighborhood and lack any density or population. Where's my sprawling cities if you could only do one city on a planet? How are the streets of the Freestar dirty and trashy, yet they somehow fought off the UC and enjoy authority over multiple regions of space with a bustling economy? They could've chosen to make the whole game about 5 planets with maximum detail for each but they limited themselves with the game engine first, which led to further limitations with poor gameplay choices.

Bethesda's issue isn't that they refuse to build a new engine, it is that they are using an engine not designed for what they need, trying to force it to do what they want... I have a feeling that Bethesda primarily consists of artists and game programmers, not engine programmers. Building a game from an engine is a lot different than building an engine.

The story of how humans "united" to leave Earth would've made a compelling first entry in a new franchise. But that kind of story **clearly** would require serious geopolitical discussion (deeper stuff than DeusEx for example, which most people would consider thoughtful). Not only Bethesda, but most developers, lack the vision, talent and "room" to create a product like that that would contain actually controversial topics. What happened to religion in Starfield? What happened to old conflicts? Who got left behind? Etc. These are extremely interesting topics a player could've had "choices" in. Instead in Starfield the story was "a grand event happened, now you're basically vibing in what is mostly a post-scarcity version of humanity."

Hey wait, listen, hear me out A couple of the rocks were shiny

The fast traveling really ruined it for me. If you want a true "immersive" travel experience without just teleporting to your destination, you need to go through like 5 different loading screens just to get to another place. Get on ship (loadscreen) -> go to space (loadscreen) -> jump to different star system (loadscreen) -> land on planet (loadscreen) -> exit ship (loadscreen). It's just grating. I would at least have liked a "warp travel time" system similar to star citizen where you have a loading sequence disguised as hyperspace where you can walk around your ship for a bit. The ship just feels fake, and that's supposed to be the core of the gameplay.

@SerBallister

If your destination is in the quest log you can fast-travel to either orbit if you've not visited before or straight to the landing point for visited locations. The new update with the 3D local map also makes travelling to shops in cities a bit easier too. I'm on the fence about fast travel, in some ways it saves time travelling between systems and allow skipping the whole board-ship, spin-up grav drive time wasting, but on the other hand it's a lot of loading screens. I found Fallout 4 to be more annoying, the load times when going from indoor to outdoor take forever.

For the base game with no DLC, Starfield has just as many quests as fallout 4 and Skyrim. So people who claim that the gangs and things there's nothing to do.

Your defense isn't a bad one, but the "you don't get it" argument can be countered with "you should make something for your customers to get". Following your line of thought, then the problem is that bethesda didn't include the "rails" they normally do in game design. Nothing to push the player towards quests and where to find them. My whole time playing I maybe found 2-3 random quests to do... which isn't great. I also found no reason to build bases. Outside of extra storage I don't see the point, and since I never found a need to engage with the crafting system I just didn't need that extra storage. It reminded me of the settlements in F4 where you had so much to do, but not a lot of reason to do it. I don't remember a single thing pushing me to engage with these systems, outside of the stellarborne attacks. Gathering powers was boring after a while, each temple was the same, the puzzle grew tedious, and the first one was already an instant win button in combat, so again "what's the point"? To me only part of the game that stuck out and stuck with me were the companions. I found myself caring about them and wanting to see their stories play out, and it was sad when Sam died. Yet so many of the characters were "stiff" in a way that feels more old hat than retro. Why did no one else want to touch the artifacts? or gain super-powers? Or the several people standing, staring at you, not moving. Most games these days are more animated than that. I think overall the companions were a step in the right direction, but the gameplay loop was an experiment that failed.

You're upset that there aren't sentient aliens in the space game based on reality. They said this a while before the game even came out.

Just as I'd prefer a vehicle to drive across these barren planets. If there's nothing interesting to find, at least let me traverse the space efficiently. The first astronauts to visit our moon understood that principle. *Edit* To be clear, a story set in a universe in which the Fermi Paradox left humanity alone and aimless, can work, but there has to be some conflict to make up for the lack of space-faring alien civilizations. Something interesting our main character(s) is/are involved in or trying to solve. Without it, the audience, in Starfield's case, is left with nothing more than aimless wandering.

@@Grimjr7 I agree that realism is what they're going for, but if you compare real life today, we haven't really gained the ability to fly to far off planets. Even planets like mars or the moon takes years of planning and training, so by the terms of realism; space travel shouldn't be possible. Because Starfield allows space travels beyond what we currently have in reality, it's still in fantasy. A very boring fantasy but it's still fantasy. If they truly wanted it to be realistic, they should have us train in NASA equipment for about 5-10 years? And then take a good few years to get to even 1 planet outside the earth's orbit. But that would be a boring game right? Exactly. Games are mean't to be fun and while realism can be fun; if it isn't it fails at the purest principle of what a game is. I'd rather have a game full of aliens, timeskips (eg. fast forward like other bethesda games) and crazy spaceship designs over an empty space with 1 race and a whole lot of waiting.

I quit the game after I spend time learning how to build ships, learned what pieces I'd need, learned what traders had those parts to then travell to 2 traders and found them bugged out.

Nothing will change until you force it, and if the army has taught me anything, it's that if force isn't working then you aren't using enough! In a day of age where misinformation is among the most egregious of crimes one could commit, we need to call out corporate false-advertising and "subject to change without notice" clauses as just that, misinformation. Demand refunds, get your bank to initiate chargebacks for the completely valid reason: "undelivered product." It _will_ cost Bethesda a ton, and their precious investors will be _very_ cross. I worked in the anti-fraud dept of Mastercard, and chargebacks are a very simple process to initiate. Any customer service rep you contact from the number on the back of your card will be able to do that for you in a jiffy, and if they give you attitude ask for their employee ID, hang up and call again immediately asking to "escalate this call." The words "chargeback" and "escalate" have very specific meanings and cannot be mistaken by any agent at any level. Like I said, anti-fraud. Your money is serious business, so I won't fcuk around with you. Get your 60-100 bucks back and treat yourself to something honest, and not Triple-A -lies- marketing. Much love, and God bless y'all!

In the year 2024? The game was already embarrassing when it was launched!

the engine is NOT a problem. its brilliant. the problem is their creativity and ability to make a game these days. they are out of ideas. there is no depth to stats, the game does not present you with problems, and creative ways to solve them... its not a "game" ... its just a jogging simulator and they need to put in some real game mechanics. it's kind of sad. They used to have such great games.

"It's aging poorly" suggests it was in good condition at any time. BTW. Lets be honest. Bethesda makes one game just in different graphics. Writing is the same, story is similarly lame, characters are similar, etc. The only really good thing in their games is environmental story telling and "getting lost" in some cave or tunels on your way to the next quest. And they removed this completely in Starfield.

@@B-U-T-C-H-E-R I don't see anything special in starfeed, the game is like a game, or almost worse than Fallout 4, it seems to me that the players are trying to criticize starfield, they don't even know what they expected from the game, because it was released the way it was shown, sales and returns from starfield are exactly the same as any game.

I just booted it up there after the update. I am running a 3090 with an AMD 5950x. It ran slowly, loads of loading screens, boring and empty planets, terrible game design, and it crashed several times. It is still as bad as it was upon release. The Elder Scrolls VI is going to be gutter-trash. I am calling it now.

I've been attempting to mod Starfield lately, my other work is on the nexus, and I'm finding it to be an absolutely horrible experience. I tried creating a sound mod to make planets sound less boring and they're using a new Wwise format that is much more difficult then just dropping sound files into the custom folder, most of my conversions failed and when I finally did convert all the files correctly the engine seems to have a programming bug where it wont load too many custom files even with archive invalidation, only about 1/3rd of them work even though the file formats, names and paths are correct. This game is a mess, it can't be fixed and all those articles about modders giving up are legitimate, I know I have.

I wanted to love this game, I tried to love this game. I've thousands of hours in F:NV and Skyrim, I even enjoyed parts of Fallout 4, and I'm a huge space nerd so I was cautiously optimistic about Starfield, uninstalled after 150 hours because I realised that I wasn't actually having fun. Such a waste of players and devs time and energy. I just hope BGS has learned some lessons from this and we don't see a repeat of Starfield with Fallout 5/ES6, or better yet, get Obsidian to make them.

Starfield is smoke and mirrors. It puts on a good face and pretty quickly shows how shallow and uninteresting it is. They took everyone's least favorite part of Fallout 4 and made it the whole game. I will never return to this game.

I am glad that I neither wasted time or money on this game. So many actually good games out there deserving that instead.

Problem is, neither Cyberpunk nor Baldur's Gate 3 will have the play length and longevity of Skyrim. There just isn't any actual competition for a Bethesda game, and thusly, it simply isn't dated. It CANNOT be dated if no one else is able to do what they do. The problem with Starfield is it wasn't and didn't feel like a Bethesda game. It didn't have any of what made Fallout 4 and Skyrim fun to play.

What does that even mean? "Not good enough in 2024"? Do we have a higher standard these days? When I play an old game, the only thing I really give the game a pass on is graphical fidelity (not visuals, just fidelity). When I say Morrowind is a better game than Starfield, I am 100% sincere about that and I genuinely think that the game has better character building, better world design, better art design, better writing and better quests than Starfield. Not "for it's time", not "in context", simply better if you compare them 1 to 1. Modern games are not generally better than old games, for a lot of people it's the opposite actually and when you look at modern AAA open world slop that barely manages run for 10 minutes without a gamebreaking bug or crash and compare it to absolute bangers from the PS2 or 90's PC gaming eras then I think that's a fair statement to make. Starfield isn't a bad game because it looks outdated, has small cities or not enough content compared to other modern games. Starfield is a bad game because it's flavorless, milquetoast world presented in a boring way with boring quests, genuinely awful writing, worthless procedurually generated planets with nothing interesting on them, an over reliance on fast traveling that makes the world feel disconnected and dumbed down RPG mechanics. This has nothing to do with modern standards, old games have done all of these things better and the modders who jumped off have said the same thing.

Starfields priority should have been the creation kit. It's now been the better part of a year. By the time it comes out modders won't be interested. even with how much I didn't like the game I was excited for mods to eventually solve my problems and let me turn it into my ideal scifi fps similar to every Bethesda game. Now I doubt The game will even be tolerable with mods.

I checked right now and it [Starfield] has 8,007 players, which looks like a lot but then you check FO4 and it has 152,434 (I know, I know, this is the effect of the TV show) and then we have CP2077 which has 34,884 players. How's that "masterpiece" coming along huh Bethesda?
