Dead, abandoned game.

>>532585530
Update is absolutely coming soon. Trust the plan.

>>532581851 (OP)
is that space duct tape

>>532585612
2 more weeks?

>>532585530
this is the only "game" you play

Reminder that Todd thinks only mistake they made was releasing the rover too early

>>532589358
He's right

>>532589358
Bethesda simply didn't account for the fact that some of their consumers are retarded and didn't actively follow the game's development all throughout last year to notice all the other content being drip fed into it. If all the content actually rolled out with Shattered Space in one big patch, it probably wouldn't have had such a poor reception.

>>532590582
You're right. If Shattered Space had the rover in it, it would have been good.

Any good melee perk overhaul mods?

>>532583970

what is this cut content or something

I would rather spend 10 years in Auschwitz

3 weeks until Gamescom

>>532604092
I can't wait for them not to announce anything, and then the exciting thing they mentioned turns out to be some paid third party mod.

>>532605369
You wish for that to happen you're not waiting

>>532604092
4 weeks

starfield will probably get one of those youtube videos titled “This Underrated Game Was Misunderstood…” 5 years later and gain a huge boost in popularity

>>532605460
I don't need to wish because it's guarantee to happen

>>532605645
Try to keep that energy when you're proven wrong

>>532605620
I'm already working on my video

>>532605620
would require a major rework and for its second expansion to be great.

>>532605620
And then just as people start to come back and play it, bethesda drops a patch that breaks the game completely and then go back to working on Skyrim: Supreme Goodboi Edition

>>532615289
Skyrim needs a remake in the new engine

I love landing on distant planets and see the sun becomes so small from the surface.

>>532611825
I can see them doing some nominal overhaul just to bait potential buyers if they're releasing a PS5 version. Just enough to have some enticing footage and talking points for a trailer but falling short of making a tangible difference practice

What are your guys' chance bet on half (the console warring side) the commentators turning a 180 on the game if/when the game releases on PS5? I see "Starfield on PS5 please." "Halo on PS5 please." comments and there are little to no rebuttal compared to any other day

It's like "Xbox has no good games" but Forza Horizon 5 continues to be a best seller on PS5. Suddenly Sea of Thieves is worthy of media attention when it got ported, that sort of thing

>>532638782
Pretty low. While I expect a decent number of PS5 players to enjoy the game, I doubt there will be enough to convince those weasels to change their opinion on it. Starfield will likely remain a cult classic experience going forward

>>532590719
it did

>>532640736

Like Daggerfall!

Wanna see someone mod a space vacation resort that looks something like this

That haircut isn't it

I'm not sure if this is the case for most people here, but I've not really been playing many games like I used to. I'm in my 30s, I've been playing games since my hand-me-down NES, the last time I really felt excitement and genuine joy playing video games was with the Wii (prior to that it was the Dreamcast, then N64, then Genesis if we're talking home consoles with the DS Lite being the last handheld I really enjoyed), but Starfield is pretty much the only modern game I really play anymore. Not to say that I haven't played other games that came out recently or haven't enjoyed them, but I end up always coming back to Starfield. I try a new game, I like it for that day and maybe the next, but then the day after comes and I don't have the desire to play it or I don't have enough time (nor do I make the time) to really dedicate to it in order to really get into it again. The ONLY modern game that I've not had issues like this with has been Starfield. I'm not playing it every day, but when I have some time to kill and I'm going to play a game, I always end up playing Starfield.

Maybe it's just the type of game it is, but I can 100% say I did not experience this with even the Fallout or TES games (or at least the ones I played which have been everything from Morrowind to Skyrim). Does anyone else have a similar thing going on with them?

>>532647980
I'm in the same boat here. Play Starfield, sleep and work

>>532647980
I don't have problems alternating games between a lot of different genres, but when I play Starfield I play a lot of it. If I can't put in the time to play a lot, I don't.

Now this is more of a personal answer for why. Starfield's a game that, I'd say, demands actual participation from its player, not just in terms of gameplay but the "meta" of story. It starts with intrinsic motivation.

Todd also said "The more you give to Starfield, the more it gives back." and given my experience I think that is true. At least you get what you give in and look for, even if you're give in, and look for, negativity and negatives.

Does this apply to you? Are the games you struggle with the ones that dictate a lot of the pace?

>>532647980
I’ll probably sound like a pompous asshole for saying this but Starfield is a game aimed squarely at an adult audience and one of the biggest reasons for its lukewarm reception is that the vast majority of gamers are emotionally or intellectually stunted.
It doesn’t surprise me that you’re not enjoying games like you use to because they’re not being made with people like you in mind.
Apparently the average American reads at a 6th grade level and watches 3 Marvel movies a year.
Sometimes I think my retardation is a blessing because it allows me to enjoy a wider variety of entertainment products.

>>532650118
>Are the games you struggle with the ones that dictate a lot of the pace?
I really haven't given that much thought to be honest with you. I'm past the point of trying to figure out "why am I not into modern video games" and I'm instead at the point of "I'm surprised this game grabbed me to the point it has". Although when you say it does demand participation from its player I do agree with that.

>>532650883
You don't sound pompous. I agree that Starfield has a niche thing about it that doesn't fit what modern day gamers go for (at least for the most part), which is what you're saying. I'm just glad I managed to fit that niche. The Starfield community, although relatively small compared to other communities for a game with as much initial expectations around it, is one of the best gaming communities in the industry. That could be due to a number of factors, but I'm just glad that the game that is looking more and more likely to be a sort of "swan song" game for me outside of picking up old games I find at local used games stores has the kind of community it does. Weird tangent, but I mean it.

Kinda up

>>532630781
A nominal overhaul won't cut it. They could salvage this game in a few years if they fixed all of the shit like the weapon/skill balance, outposts, star travel etc... and then released a Star Explorer's Edition with all the DLC included, but given that Microsoft is the publisher now, I don't see them giving this game that much attention.

>>532667212
I feel like the game just isn't built in such a way you can tweak any one system without ruining everything else. It happened when they introduced the rover and suddenly the planets became *even* smaller cos you could cross them in a minute or so, and the rover wasn't implemented in literally any quests. Unlike a Cyberpunk or No Mans Sky, who know their engines, Bethesda is working with a frankensteins monster of a engine being kept alive against its will, unoptimized for any one system to be changed without fundamentally affecting another system properly, or not affecting it when it should

I am losing… starhope….

>>532670330
Go play literally anything else.

Honestly, don't pass up Star Wars Outlaws for a comparable experience to Starfield, and in a lot of ways, totally superior. I was completely surprised with how much there was in this game, and how well its done.

>>532671256
Would probably play it if you didn't have to play as a retarded Yoda/Matt Damon abomination. Just another casualty of the woke overdrive that took over the past 5 years.

>>532672360
wat

>>532671256
I'm sure it's nice for a quick playthrough or two, but I doubt it'll keep me anywhere near as invested as any Bethesda game would.

>>532672846
And thats why you're stuck here

>>532669412
The thing with engines is that, provided you have decent enough coders, you can do literally anything you want with them. Sometimes it requires rewriting a lot of the underlying code but they have to make a decision whether they want to keep using the creation engine (which honestly is an engine a ton of people love despite the bitching) or switch over to unreal engine and have to create a new kind of creation kit, or just completely abandon the creation system altogether and with it the entire gimmick of Bethesda games.

>>532673104
Nah, I participate in other generals

>>532673842
Like what

>>532674020
Usually /tesg/, /sfg/, /hpgg/, /dbg/, and Toonami General on /co/

>>532674119
All trash then. Okay. Opinion disregarded.

>>532674163
You don't get to call anything trash if this is your main general.

>>532674313
Oh there you are. Another fucking hater troll. Get the fuck out.

Someone should make Janet a romanceable follower

Sure mate, nothing at all is killing all these games/TV shows.

>>532683284
She and her sister seem to be hapas

I hope the upcoming age verification retardation in my state doesn't make things to complicated to post here

>>532683297
Some people get all weird when the term "woke" is brought up. Some deny its existence, and gloat when people can't provide an all-encompassing definition, even though these are the same people that can't define what a woman is.

>>532683297
What was that stupid conservative movie Gina Carano went off to do after she got fired from Disney? See, I don't remember, because "anti-woke" shit doesn't even show up on the radar. The right can't be creative for shit.

>>532687476
Being anti-woke isn't exclusive to the right-wing. Seemingly most anti-woke people just want media to return to how it was generally before 2016. While wokeness itself is nebulous, everything is nebulous if you approach it with too much scrutiny (because all definitions fail under intense scrutiny) or if you're ignorant of it (trying to describe what blue is to a blind man, for example.)

>>532581851 (OP)
>fixed creation menu
we're SOOOO BACK!

>>532688937
This Changes Everything

>>532687476
The golden age of animation was back when Disney made his original movies. Old Disney was racist as shit and he and his team would be regarded as ultra-far right neo-nazis in today's brown society, yet modern Disney which is staffed with gays and poos is fucking diabolical by comparison. Wokeness is terrible not just for art, but for everything because it mandates that poor choices are made in the pursuit of inclusion. Starfield is a textbook example of that.

>>532690303
kek, I could se some sloptubers using that

>>532674119
You shouldn't announce your generals like that what if you had a stalker like Joe Goldberg

>>532694335
There are more worthwhile people to be stalking in some of those generals, like Trainwiz in /tesg/, and all those femanons in /hpgg/.

Why do they bother beta'ing these patches when they have no content and no one is playing this game anymore? It's not like more than a couple of people are going to test the beta and provide any feedback

>>532698058
Hey where is the trainwiz's mod tho? He got a free todd meeting and never delivered shit

>>532700308
I have never beta tested any patch, only fomo faggots do it, there is literally no reason to break my modlist for it when is better wait for the current mods to update. Also, it's not like those people that download the beta patch give any feedback on the official places, lol

>>532700980
he gave up

It's coming in time.
