Omegamanthethird, do games w Starfield, is it getting review bombed?
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Most of the negative commenters I’ve heard from have been reactionary. Most who play it say anywhere from pretty good to amazing.

For the record, I’m a Playstation fanboy who thinks Bethesda’s best work is Morrowind and Fallout 3.

What did you like about Fallout 3 that makes you put it in their higher tier of quality?

Rhynoplaz,

Can’t argue with that. 11/10.

Early Bethesda games in general focused on giving you more freedom and the tools to do what you want. Where later games tried to give you more cool things to do. I think the quality decline is obvious from the change.

Morrowind and Fallout NV are incredible.

Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Skyrim are great.

Fallout 4 is bland as hell.

Fallout 76 and ESO are hot garbage.

I’d put Starfield in the great tier.

I would rank Fallout: New Vegas more-highly than Fallout 3 too, but it wasn't developed by Bethesda. They just published it. Obsidian developed it.

CharlestonChewbacca,
@CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world avatar

Good point.

RobertOwnageJunior,

ESO is great, though? It just has a shitty combat system with attack weaving. Even 76 isn’t that bad anymore. Honestly just seems like you get your opinion out of gaming journalism.

CharlestonChewbacca,
@CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world avatar

I have literally never watched or read a review of ESO or Fallout 76.

I played both.

ESO fails at being a solid Elder Scrolls game because it’s tailored more toward an MMO experience. The writing is awful, and the quests are boring. The combat sucks, and the social features are abysmal given you can’t even share quests. Literally the only reason I could imagine anyone playing this game is because they want to grind out an MMO every day that’s set in the Elder Scrolls universe.

Fallout 76, I don’t even know where to start. Again, the MMO mechanics tear out everything good about Fallout games to deliver a bland, grindy MMO with bad combat.

bighatchester,

I really dislike most of the games Bethesda makes . Skyrim I found glitchy and the sword play felt really bad . Fallout 3 the gameplay seemed like walk backwards and shoot. I did like death loop thou

caut_R,

I felt the same until I modded the shite out of Skyrim this year and now my mod list hit critical mass and I‘m having an absolute blast with it. Starfield runs worse and looks worse for me so that game needs some time in the patch and mod oven before I dive into it… I‘m patient.

tal,

I don't disagree that the mods for Bethesda games are cool, but problem is that the barrier to getting a massive mod list set up and working after years of mods have come out is considerable.

I feel like, given the sheer size of the mod library, mod managers need something like a list of base, curated set of mods to start with, kind of what Wabbajack does, but then have the ability to add mods to it. That way, to get you most of the way to a heavily-modded game, you just pick from among a few popular modlists.

Choosing that curated set to start with would let you avoid spending hours poring over reviews of different mods and culling obsolete information to determine what you think the current-best, say, lighting mod is.

And have the ability to update to the latest version of the modlist, or roll back to an earlier.

Once that's up and going, then if you want to go tweak it or add or remove a particular mod, you can.

AstralPath,

This is the way to be. I won’t be buying Starfield for at least a year, likely longer. By that time GPUs will be able to run it easier and I’ll be due for a new one. The game will have also seen its most significant bugfixes in that time.I haven’t bought a new game hot off the press in almost a decade.

Don’t eat your burger hot off the grill, let it cool and allow it to congeal the fats a little bit. That way it doesn’t fall apart on the first bite. ;)

That would make sense if you don’t like the games Bethesda makes since that one was Arkane.

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

You should try Prey if you enjoyed Deathloop, it’s DLC “Moon crash” was made a few years prior to Deathloop and incorporates similar mechanics except the map is randomized on each playthrough so it’s always a little different.

Same company, but it feels like Moon crash was a more interesting version of what DL did. Plus Prey occasionally just goes on like 90% off sales (one time I snagged it and the DLC free on Epic Games.)

bighatchester,

Im pretty sure I have it on epic games too will have to check it out

I played it and thought it was mid. Didn’t hold my interest at all. I’ve haven’t played a Bethesda game since oblivion though.

@dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world avatar

I can see why the reviews are between ‘Best game ever’ and ‘worst game Bethesda made’ and it’s so strange. I personally love Starfield and it’s universe while my friend hates it because it’s boring for him.

Ketram,

Tbh, me and at least 2 other people I know bounced off it hard, even after giving it multiple chances in 10+ hours of playing. Some people just aren’t jelling with it even with playtime.

I personally like to explore barren world’s and drift around the galaxy but I can see how boring it would be for alot of people.

Hot ones is a show where you meet a person you likely never heard of and end up liking them and learning a lot on about 10 minutes.

Great show.

I was stuck with this as my only SNES game for over a year. It was a very dark time in my life.

Boiglenoight,

A similar situation: for a time the only NES game I had was Star Wars: A New Hope. I learned to see the good in it.

Oh wow that looks a lot like the From Software game Dark Souls. That game sold really well and was a lot of fun, so it was smart of this company to make a similar game! They also added a funny to it because that makes it unique and creative.

Great work gentlemen! 👏

@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

They're very specifically influenced by From Soft's game Bloodborne more than Dark Souls. It's interesting to see them use Pinocchio as an anchor point for the world. The game looks quite polished and as derivative as it seems it looks like it'll be pretty fun.

I didn’t know much about this game, but the game title makes a whole lot of sense now.

I didn't know it until I saw some video about it, it sort of sells that premise short, I think the name is... Not awesome

This looks exactly like the tepid diarrhea I expected for 200 million dollars from 500 developers. It’s a miracle how everything MS touches becomes tainted, if someone told me that Arcane would be offering Redfall, I’d have refused to believe it.

Wait, who downvoted this? 😅 I’m not mad, I’m just curious as to how a link to an interview could make someone go, “Nope, this is trash. To the pit of Hades with you.”

I know that Mugen is just a word, but to me and a lot of other people, Mugen is the build your fighting game engine with a constant twitch stream that has Goku fighting and losing to Tetris brick.

For me it’s one of the main cast of Samurai Champloo. Afaik it’s Japanese and means infinite.

Good review. Can’t wait to fully immerse myself

DarkThoughts, do games w Starfield Review - Buy, Wait, Never touch

I have little doubt that it will be a fantastic game, and even less doubt that modders will take it to another level. The biggest travesty so far still seems to be the lack of space archery. Especially with the modular weapons I feel a high tech compound bow would've been such a cool addition.

pacoboyd,

As you said, “modders”

RisingSwell,

Gotta make sure the arrows still exist at distance though, unlike skyrim where you can put an arrow through someone and do 0 damage because you were slightly too far away.

XTornado,

That happens in Skyrim? But I remember videos of people suing fast travel after shooting from really far a way, like crazy away and then the arrow arriving where they fast traveled. Which fascinated me as I didn’t expect the game to track it.

RisingSwell,

The arrow would exist but if you are too far away it’d just phase through enemies and appear in the wall/floor behind them.

surewhynotlem,

God dammit Bethesda… Give. Me. Stealth. Archer.
