Thread 718422473

All the years of hype and they didn’t even try to salvage this shit kek

>>718422473 (OP)
theres nothing to salvage
atleast in TES IV and prior you had some decent writing to justify making the game in the first place but theres nothing to sparsefield

>>718424040
They could absolutely salvage it by writing a public apology to me personally and then giving me money

As per usual, we let the modders handle it

Sarfield

bethesda doesnt have the leadership or talent required to make a good game so even if microsoft gave them 100mil to cp up starfield it wouldnt lead to anything impressive

>fallout 76
>starfield
2 home runs back to back for Todd

They still have like two or three DLCs in the pipeline, right? But yeah dead game, zero love, zero passion, most sales out of any Bethesda titles and you're all worthless goblins that apparently paid for it.

>>718424961
it remains to be seen if they even have one let alone two or three

>>718422473 (OP)
not even mods can fix this

>>718424961
Two sounds about right as far as story expansions are concerned. Rumor has it that the second DLC is not even coming out this year because of how bad Shattered Space performed, plus they want to tie it to a PS5 release.

fo76 is better than starfield. anyone who says otherwise hasn't played it recently. this meme of 76 being bad needs to die

>>718424961
the dlc that added varuun shit is literally unplayable garbage at least for me, and about 50% of people who reviewed it on steam

Its just "we have no ideas, lets just go where the bar is lowest, ugh I'll go fuck my asian wife"

>>718425183
It only took 75 years

>>718422473 (OP)
saarfield

it being pc/xbox exclusive in an era where xbox is literally dying probably did not help sales

>>718426004
bethesda is owned by microsoft

Did they ever release the mod tools, to at least theoretically give some hope of a decent mod community developing? Did anyone ever fix the ugly random ethnic mess NPCs? If so, was that mod allowed to exist in a way where it can be found today? If the answer to all of those is yes, I could see myself giving it anothery try some day... After a week or two of browsing mods.

>Did they ever release the mod tools, to at least theoretically give some hope of a decent mod community developing?
Yes, last year.
>Did anyone ever fix the ugly random ethnic mess NPCs?
There are several mods that attempt to do that. The ones on Nexus mostly serve to either beautify those NPCs or at least change the numbers of certain mob race types to where it makes more sense.

nexus didnt ban anti-dei mod?
what year is this? 2015?

>>718426968
It's not really an Anti-DEI mod, it just makes certain races, ages and body types more prominent in some locations, and less prominent in others. For example Neon has more Asians and younger mobs, while New Atlantis has a bigger population of blacks compared to Neon and Akila.

>>718422473 (OP)
what's there to salvage? it's one of the best games of the generation.

>>718427510
rents go higher in city centres = more blacks and retirees
obviously

>>718427510
The cities were so fucking small it’s laughable plus NPCs don’t have homes they go into or schedules

>>718427771
There's are mods for that

The sales genuinely weren't a problem, it sold extremely well on launch and paid for itself, it really did. The problem is the fan reaction and its overall staying power. Any Starfield community is incredibly underpopulated and has this half-seething sentiment of "See? I'm still having fun!" Starfield was genuinely bad enough to affect ES6 pre-orders, it consumed a lot of the whole "It's a Bethesda RPG, I'm buying it" magic.

>>718428093
They said they were already taking in complaints and working on things. With the creation kit naming a supercruise mode for ships which allows you to fly to other planets, I see them doing a lot of behind the hood revamps of the biggest core problems of starfield in ready for the PS5/Switch 2 release. If that doesnt bring in good word of mouth like cyberpunk 2.0, they'll just drop it is what I'm guessing.

>>718428434
if bethesda goes and fixes "core problems" of starfield I'll stop watching anime and get a job

>>718428614
Hope you get that job application ready then

>>718428434
>No anime featuring a Starfield waifu
They're fucked
