I played for a few hours last night and, so far, I feel exactly the same. I'm going to try to barrel through the main narrative for a bit, which is supposed to "open up" the game a lot more - but the game systems and UI themselves are a major part of what is killing it for me. That, and the fact that the game so far seems to be little more than a mediocre FPS.

Skyrim's default UI sucks, and mods make it better. I'm hoping the same for Starfield.

I mean, yeah, if you aren't into the core elements of a game you probably won't be interested in the game. It's like say, "I'm not impressed with the new Mario game. I don't want to do platforming, and I don't care about powerups or collecting things."

Yeah, lot of people are upset that Bethesda released a Bethesda game.

"Why is this like Skyrim in space and not like completely different studios style?"

Well, probably because Bethesda made the game and not the other studio...

Sharpiemarker,

A surprising percentage of gamers seem to think that any new AAA title game is catered to them and rather than understand it was made for other people, they complain about how bad it is.

Excited to play it, too bad i gotta wait 5 more days since i didn’t wanna shell out 30 more just to play it earlier lol

kurcatovium,

Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to play it too, but from stream gameplay and reviews it’s definitely NOT game worth 10/10. Is it a good game? Yes. But is it the most epic game of the decade? Definitely not.

Serdan, do nintendo w What are you playing this weekend? 2023-09-02

Sea of Stars was released three days ago, and it is just incredibly gorgeous and adorable.

It’s a 2D RPG in the style Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger.

Definite 👍 from me.

hoodlem,

Oooh, you have me curious, I’ll look into it

The gunplay looks pretty fun to me. That’s the most important part for me, if the actual combat isn’t fun, then that’s a different story, but it looks pretty cool. Cool enough for me to try it out on gamepass.

I'm the type of guy who hates New Vegas because it felt awful to shoot things (and that's why I'm still addicted to Destiny). Aiming's a bit weird, and shotguns don't have too much impact, but other than that, it's not the worst shooter I've played. I'll probably stick with it.

and that’s why I’m still addicted to Destiny

Oh, god how do they make it feel so good in Destiny 2. Unbelievable gunplay. Pity about the FOMO mechanics, I stopped playing when the brought in the battlepass, that shit just isn’t for me.

Ser_Salty,

I was surprised by how much a gun’s handling can change based on mods and stuff. Like, I have two SMGs of the same type. One feels like this pinpoint accurate, low recoil special-ops stealth gun, the other one kicks like a mule and sprays lead at basically everything vaguely in front of me.

Also I can have a 1911 and VSS in space, so that’s fun.

HelixTitan,

I would say it is. The shooting is hands down best Bethesda combat, clear enhancements over Fallout 4. And I haven’t really been into too many fights yet. Having been to Mars I can start to see how the environments really change up the combat

Templa, do gaming w Starfield Review Thread

Watched the Digital Foundry video and was really impressed on the fact it is so segmented. I thought it was aiming to be like No Man’s Sky but I guess I might have misheard at some point

TransplantedSconie, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

I already have space game. It’s called No Mans Sky and it’s pretty darn cool.

sandriver,

And it has VR too! I think NMS and having actual Daggerfall doesn’t leave me any room to particularly care about Starfield. I don’t get the hype at all.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Hopefully in a year or two fans like Luke Smith will port Starfield to PCVR

averyminya,

Until then VorpX profiles aren’t really too bad.

Ser_Salty,

The NMS gameplay is really only a tiny part of Starfield. It’s an RPG. Like, an actual, proper RPG, with tons of actual quests. If you were only interested in the NMS part, flying from planet to planet to scan wildlife and gather resources, sure, you don’t need Starfield, NMS will do ya just fine, but there is a fuckton more to the game than that.

echo, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

It looks like Skyrim in space and I don’t really get why anyone was expecting something else

sexy_peach,
@sexy_peach@feddit.de avatar

But Skyrim is beautiful even with its older graphics and has an interesting world to explore. Grey space metal structures on grey planets just aren’t interesting. Also even more so if the story starts with “you touched a weird rock”, don’t know why but here have my spaceship.

In Skyrim you’re waking up going to be executed next moment there’s a dragon attack.

dudewitbow,

I mean id argue Skyrim isnt that great to look at either, given its a continent full of tombs and snow due to its climate. Its just gray and white.

Both Morrowwind and Oblivion had more interesting places to look at than skyrim did.

KevinDeRodeTovenaar,

I disagree, skyrim had beautiful nature, landscape and skies.

dudewitbow,

Are you about to bring up skies of all things, and compare to a space game with multiple skies due to having multiple planets?

KevinDeRodeTovenaar,

Haven’t played starfield yet, i just know that Skyrim has beautiful star constellations

@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Right? There was this one guy on Lemmy the other day expecting the game to be like Freelancer… Like, dude, it’s Fallout with a space suit, we’ve known that for years now. I feel like gamers always have the most stupid and unrealistic expectations imaginable.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Freelancer

jlow, (edited ) do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

Yeah, also getting strong “not for me”-vibes. Looks like a less grimey Fallout in space. Graphics seem to be far less amazing as I imagined from trailers.

Edit: Buuut I think lots of people will have fun with this and that’s cool!

hypelightfly,

Looks like a less grimey Fallout in space

That's exactly what it is. Also less fallout humor. If you don't like other BGS games you aren't going to like this one.

Personally I’m excited to see what the mod landscape is going to look like in a year. As with most Bethesda games, I couldn’t care much less about the game itself outside of that key feature.

manapropos,

I’m in the same boat. I play Bethesda games for the experiences the modders create. This will be a steal in a few years for $30

pelotron,
@pelotron@midwest.social avatar

Imagine being a company known for creating games that are a steal when they are 50% off a few years after release.

manapropos,

I don’t think Todd Howard is too worried about it given all the free labor his games get

storksforlegs, (edited )
@storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

Same, I am waiting for this. I can only imagine the mods, it’s pretty exciting honestly. (But also because I am too cheap for any $70 game)

explodicle,

Plus then you can get all the expansions bundled together as Special Edition.

eight_byte, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

I don’t want to hear how good this game is because I only own a PS5 and don’t have a gaming PC.

OverfedRaccoon,

A decade old gaming PC (that was mid-tier at best back then), a PS5 that’s not technically mine, a Switch, and an OG Xbox One. Tell me about it. 😂

admin,
@admin@beehaw.org avatar

Same here…I’m incredibly disappointed they didn’t release this for PS5!

Veraxus,
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

Good news for you: It's not very good. At least not the first 5 hours, which are painfully boring and full of jank.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

An honest answer. I can respect that

nowayhosay, do gaming w CS Source communities?

the only people i’m aware that play cs-s still are surfers, apart from that i have no idea sorry

nurple,

Is CS:S somehow better for surf than CS:GO, or is it just a legacy thing?

nowayhosay,

honestly i think they’re pretty equal, but if all the best surfers in the world are adamant that source is better, than i’ll listen to their opinion lol. CSGO has some great plugins that aren’t available on source, source is still the surf king though

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

They would be identical, assuming they are both actually modified to allow for the proper airspeed, since they are still both in the Source engine. You couldn’t surf in either with the default movement settings.

kambusha,

Lol, I forget that’s a thing. Tried it a couple of times but didn’t really get the appeal after a while. So random, you think Valve ever thought people would be playing CS:S like that 20 years later?

nowayhosay,

no chance, i just hope they keep it in mind with cs2

IoSapsai, do piracy w Where can i find rare books ?

I use irc for the more obscure books. It’s a bit more annoying but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.

Naz, do games w Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)

8 hours in here, and “Fallout in Space” with NASA-Punk describes it perfectly.

B3_CHAD, do gaming w Starfield Review Thread

Not the epic space saga similar to Mass effect Trilogy I was hoping for but not a bad game either. Exploration is fun enough, base building is good, ship combat also felt nice.Quests are a mixed bag, some feel really dated and mundane. Performance is pretty bad i.e the game is very demanding. Struggles to maintain a steady native 60fps on the 3060ti at 1440p even on low or medium settings. Maybe patches will make a difference. Honestly this feels like something I would pick up during a sale or play on game pass, not worth the full price for me at least.

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

ship combat also felt nice

Ooh, that was the thing I was really curious about – too many “space” games are just conventional FPS games set on various alien worlds and space stations, with only minimal nods to interplanetary vehicles.
