How do you think Starfield will turn out?

you think so? i think its rather tame.

whatever you do, dont watch max0r's videos. i think your brain would explode.
I just can't stand this kind of 3 cuts per second editing with almost as many bad attempts at humor to match. Just review the game instead of assuming I have the worst attention span imaginable.
I think I saw a max0r video once, seemed equally annoying to me.
 
Just been caught up with the youtube situation, where apparently bots can scan your videos and demonetize you if you show a little blood and gore in your videos. That includes violent video games, it seems the algorithm gives no fucks.
Looking back, I think this is the main reason why Starfield has no gore in it. The game is an ESG shitfest, if this is the direction the WEF and friends are going in, it only makes sense that Starfield would be one of it's pioneers, same way as it is trying to normalize eating bugs, making every white male an ally or evil, all people in power being women, abos trannies and nonwhites everywhere, every other character being gay. ect.
You can't even give them the benefit of the doubt that this was an intentional choice to cut corners or to be more "artistic" or whatever, it's literally just censorship to drive the messageTM and help content creators release more videos to stimulate the algorithm.
The more I think about this game, the more pathetic it ends up looking. Is there a good blood and gore mod out yet? I would not be surprised if all the assets are there abut are disabled, much like in Japanese releases of Fallout games where they censored the gibbing on all human NPCs
 
Someguy and Th3Overseer are probably too edgy
Oh absolutely, Starfield was clearly written with diversity and ethics mandates that meant anything offensive or potentially upsetting.
I liked that quest but I couldn't help noticing that it was an indian woman in charge of everything, and the other scientist was also a woman, and the chief of security was a black african dude. But I guess I'm just a bigot for noticing.
Stop using the pattern recognition our species developed across generations as one of our most important survival and social tools. Trust the soyence dude. There is nothing at work here. You're probably just racist.
Ryujin doohickey you should be able to straight-up mind control the guy into handing it over to you,
Bethesda has totally random people on the team designing questlines working independent of each other so they never account for shit like this ever. It's one of the major flaws in how they approach quest design.

It is *very* obvious at this point that fuel and grave drive jump distance played such a more important role
Yeah it is kinda irritating since if you dont have yhe range you need to jump into another system nearby, wait for loading and hopefully no random event then jump again to where you actually want to go when its a bit pointless
 
It's kind of surreal to see people praising Fallout 4 in comparison to Starfield (i.e. better exploration, companions, etc.). It's impressive given that people loved to shit all over Fallout 4 just recently before, and it's even extending to Skyrim, with people saying "I'd rather play Skyrim". It shows the love-hate relationship people have with these games.

Or it shows just how bad Starfield is

I really love Fallout 4 and, may Allah forgive me for saying this, prefer it to Skyrim and Fallout 3 these days.

Everything pretty much suffers from the "Zelda curse" now.

Is it just that people are disillusioned and just mad at everything, or are games just getting worse and worse that old stuff looks better? Who knows?

Honestly, I like Starfield more than Fallout 4. But I've never been much of a Fallout guy anyways.

People have always liked Skyrim, the only thing was morrowboomers were just super loud compared to skyrim fans.

I've always loved Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Fallout 4. I wouldn't say I really prefer one over the other though. Even just to compare Fallout 3 and 4 (because they are in the same franchise), I would would have a hard time really picking.

I tend to flip flop between which of the two are better. I think 3 has a much stronger aesthetic and world design, also better side quests. 4 has better gunplay and faction questlines, albeit the writing overall feels much weaker.

Bethesda games past Fallout 3 aren't even real RPGs, so all these people arguing about whetever Skyrim, Fallout 4 or Starfield are better are console normalfags who don't actually play RPGs. I myself enjoy Fallout 4 but even I don't even pretend that it is an RPG, it's an action looter shooter with RPG elements and nothing more. Less said about Starfield and Skyrim the better.
Now would be a good time to suggest actual RPGs to all the people upset about Starfield, and only having Fallout 4 or Skyrim to fall back on(the horror)

I wouldnt say worse, just severely stagnating.

Starfield doesnt do anything fundamentally different(yes it has a "base building" component that is as shallow as it is pointless) or even better than Skyrim did a decade ago. Its essentially the same exact game with a different coat a paint all the way down to the same shortcomings and bugs. If we got Starfield in 2011 it would have been praised, but this isnt 2011.

I can confidently say we hit a peak in gaming 10 years ago. Weve been getting the same exact games, except theyve been ever more riddled with microtransactions and liveservice bullshit as time has gone on which means the experience has declined.

I get sick of hearing this complaint all the time. What exactly constitutes being deserving of the RPG label? Stats? Progression? Having an isometric perspective? Choice and consequence?

The games do qualify they just aren't very deep examples of the genre. Playing semantic games is pointless.

Except there aren't really any RPGs like what Bethesda makes... Except what Bethesda makes. Their specific blend of highly interactive and immersive open world RPGs are a niche they've effectively cornered. It's why people still gulp down their low effort slop. Nothing else can scratch that exact same itch (except MAYBE Cyberpunk, but even then it isn't totally the same)

And what other game exists that even attempts something similar to Starfield? No Man's Sky is the closest but it has barely any combat or quest design.
