I haven’t bought Starfield, was waiting for sub-$25. If there are no mods, I’m lowering that to sub-$10.

Seriously what a clusterfuck of a game this has been. I’m so happy I didn’t bite and buy it yet.

It’s nice Bethesda wants to pull a Cyberpunk, but Starfield at it’s core just isn’t as good. I’m all for some redeeming updates though, because at least there would be something to come back to

If the modding community likes Starfield it should really help with the emptiness of space at least. I can imagine the idea of just building an entire quest line in your selected planet would be nice for avoiding mod conflicts

I’ve heard secondhand the people working on a coop mod, after making one for Skyrim, gave up on it after deciding the game is just bad and uninteresting.

I know that happened but I’d need to see more of a consensus from modders before I call it a wash. If modders continue to add to the game, it will likely become more appealing and the actual foundation to add mods seems pretty decent.

Nakey Jakey recently did a super indepth video on what is wrong with Starfield. And suffice it to say, I’ve removed the game from my wishlist. There’s betterr games to spend my money on.

If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I’d point you in the direction of PatricianTV’s Starfield analysis.

I desperately want to watch his 8 hour analysis of Starfield but am scared of the commitment.

Advice for consumption Patrician himself posted on his 24-hr Skyrim analysis:

  • Use the YouTube chapters.
  • Play it in the background or on a second monitor.
  • Don’t rely on YouTube accurately tracking your progress through the vid. Comment a timestamp to use as a bookmark instead.

It’s almost always better to wait on Bethesda titles and buy the goty/complete edition a few years later.

Man, if they release a “pokemon emerald” version of starfield and slap a goty title on it, that just confirms the company only breathes in order to try and blow smoke up our asses

Maybe it’s time to just stop giving Bethesda money all together. Or until they start releasing games when they’re finished.

Guess that could be said about any AAA company though
