I dont think you can fix the limitations of a 15 year old engine with patches. I didn’t buy it but I watched my friends who did stream it from start to finish. I am 100% sure these NPCs are operating off of Oblivion code.
Just like Cyberpunk 2077, I will wait for this game to be worked on and get it for a discount later. I learned my lesson long time ago, not to buy big AAA games at launch.
Same. I think cyberpunk is almost done, so I’ll probably grab it when it gets down to half off. We’ll see if Starfield is any good after they finish it in 5 years or so.
Of course, it’s not just like cyberpunk. Cyberpunk had excellent writing, good pacing, and an overall fascinating story with technically good writing. It just was immersed in a game that had many issues for many people.
Star field is almost the exact opposite, it’s technically functional, with a hollowed out uncooked unseasoned potato for a story.
I wasn't saying both games are similar, but more comparing the situation both games not worth buying day 1. Developers adding new functionality, features and iron out bugs and performance issues. If I like the core gameplay and story, that's another story. But just like with Cyberpunk, I will wait for the game being worked on and buy it later for a cheaper price.
Introducing paid mods is something I don't support but I'm interested to see what things look like when it launches on Starfield.
That aside, I hope they take the empty world complaints to heart, if they can make the world more full I am willing to return to the UC Shitcan and fight for my citizenship.
I've got over 100 hours in and all the trophies, nothing left in the base game for me, I'm not doing 10 playthroughs with 1 character though.
I’m expecting any paid mods will be the same kind of Creation club content they’ve had for years now. I.e. simple aesthetics mods that don’t require much maintenance over time
I thought it was fun, despite some clunkiness. I also played it on gamepass and clocked in 100-200 hours. I intend to pick it up again once the game matures a bit more and receives additional expansions.
For the things they clearly tried to do but couldn't do in their engine, it's too late. For the quest designs that either need to be ripped out or replaced with something dramatically different in the pursuit of being engaging content (this is not every quest, for the record), it's too late. For the conversation system where you feel every year that they've been reusing the same code, it's too late.
My point may not have been clear. But I was trying to make reference to vast swathes of gamers who continually parrot the “It’s good now” line after each update.
Oh, definitely went over my head. But Cyberpunk for sure ended up being pretty great. To be perfectly honest, I skirted by most of the launch issues for whatever reason, so I had a good experience with it back then too.
