It looks great. A little too great, even… I would temper my expectations, pretty much every space game has always advertised itself for having an incredible amount of content and things to do and it’s never as good as advertised. They even say there’s 1000 planets, but how many of those are just going to be empty randomly generated landscapes that feel copy pasted?
Well, I’m still excited for Starfield, but I’m very cautious about it.
They actually brought back the Annoying Adoring Fan from the Arena in Elder Scrolls IV. Same voice actor and everything.
Man, I bursted out laughing when they showed the fan. Laughed even harder when they said that it’s possible to get rid of these traits - and aimed a shotgun at the fans back. :D
If there was a option where an annoying sidekick could deliver your excess materials back to a storage like at your home I would put up with any annoying dialogue 😀
Cautious optimism is definitely the way to go with this one. The showcase here definitely looks good, but how many promises can they actually deliver on? I’m hoping most of the planets have some sort of content that doesn’t include the classic Bethesda radiant fetch quests. The cities look promising, animal/wildlife designs look good, and the space battles remind me of Star Wars Battle front 2 (in a good way!)
The special preorder editions are slightly concerning, I’m hoping most people haven’t forgotten the Fallout ‘canvas bag’ debacle and learned their lesson. Stop preordering games! It doesn’t matter what the extra bonuses are if the game behind them is no good. Especially the 5 day early access that plays on your FOMO. Everyone’s waited this long, you can wait a few extra days. I’m waiting until reviews are in and we see some release gameplay. Don’t forget that Bethesda are also known for extremely buggy day 1 releases.
If it does actually turn out really good, this might be the final excuse I need to upgrade my 6 year old PC and give my GTX970 a nice retirement.
Yeah, I’m also cautious/skeptical. I think it’s going to get 10/10 hype reviews, but I’m likely gonna wait for reviews a month out to see how it really is.
Specifically, I’m not excited about the procedurally generated planets and certain phrases they said raised flags like “barren but resource rich planets” and “bonuses for 100% scanning in the system.”
That and I’m unsure about the gunplay. Some of the very short clips looked satisfying, but to me the extended ones didn’t feel great.
It looks incredible but, damn, they’ve really put every single game genre in there. Non-zero chance it’s all very shallow but the customisation options look dope. Chances are modders will do some stuff that’s so cool I’ll really want to play this thing.
Also looks like it’ll destroy my 1060 and I probably don’t use my PC enough to justify an upgrade. So we’ll see.
This looks extremely promising. I’m trying not to get my hopes up after the recent string of disappointing launches… But dang. I get to build ships, explore the galaxy, build outposts, etc, etc. This really is shaping up to be No Man’s Skyrim. I just hope they can stick the landing.
