Subj : Starfield To : All From : Nodoka Hanamura Date : Sat Nov 04 2023 06:02:39 Heya guys, been a while but since I couldn't really find a topic to chime in on in general, wanted to ask what people's thoughts are on Starfield to break the ice. I got my hands on a copy to try out about a month ago and suffice to say I was kinda unimpressed by it. As someone who grew up with Freelancer and the sort, It just felt.. dissapointing that 20 years later Bethesda manages to take all these great strides forward, only to take a Paralyzer missile to the lower body when it comes to travelling around. The game felt so disjointed and disconnected from one area to the next that it felt more like I was playing the loading screen game than I was an RPG. I know people have griped about others wanting it to be a space sim when in reality a lot of people just want something like Freelancer and Fallout 4 put into a nice, tasty, delectable salad, with all the nice fixings. That was what I was hoping Starfield would be, but the fact that it's like Skyrim in Space but without the vast overworld to explore, speaks magnitudes about how dated some of both Bethesda's tech and their ideas are.. It says a lot when playing Starfield makes me want to play Elite Dangerous more. At least with Elite you know you're going in for a space sim.. with this, I find it difficult to call it an RPG - You can't really call it one when the immersion factor is so low you could see it flatlining if it was hooked up to an ECG. Doesn't help things that the modding community won't be able to do much until the Creation Kit comes out next year, and even then a lot of mod devs have sworn off Starfield already, if my FO4 modder friend Wheaton is to be believed. I guess after all these years of fixing Bethesda's other messes, they had enough. I can't blame them. What are your guys' thoughts? You enjoying the game at all? ---------------------------- Nodoka Hanamura Nugget BBS SysOp @ NeoCincinnati BBS neocinci.bbs.io Born too late to experience the scene.
