What a bizarre blunder. It's literally the worst of both worlds.

Boo hoo

Intelligent men realize the only reason Starfield didn't make a splash is that IT ISN'T SEXY

Typical Bethtard display.

>>3820126 (OP)
But it did have magical powers.

>>3820443
Psychics are just wizards in a sci-fi setting.
And wizard characters are just power fantasies for bullied schoolchildren. You know, like you.

You get those fucking dragonborn powers. And they are absurd

>>3820466
No, OP is saying that they didn't do space wizards OR hardcore interesting science fiction. You can't read and tilted at one line, you know, like a typical Bethtard.

>>3820126 (OP)
If they were gonna go the grounded route where they cut out powers and aliens, then they should've taken Gundam, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and the Expanse as their inspirations. The setting should've focused on intergalactic politics, cultural clashes between humans who grew up on different planets, resources and ideological wars, the struggles to centralize or decentralize authoritative power in space etc.

>>3820466
Interesting. Do tell us more please.

Point of note; it's not bullying when it's deserved.

Bro it literally includes Skyrim Fus-Ro-Da powers.

OP wants both psychic powers and real science, you illiterate window-licker.

I accept your concession

>>3821205
Ah, now you're going the "pretending to be retarded" route.
Lazy, as expected of Bethtardation.

>>3820421
Nice bait

>>3820466
That doesn't excuse not having psychic enemies. At the very least, they would be different than the average thug the game throws at you.

>>3820466
>wizard characters are just power fantasies for bullied schoolchildren
Projecting this hard.
You know nothing of me. I fon't care about magic. What I love is edge. WoD, Shadowrun, Gnostic concepts, villains. That is what I love.

>Spend years marketing the game as hard sci-fi "nasapunk"
>Halfway through the main story you find out you are the dimension jumping "Starborn" with access to literal space magic
Quite possibly the most bizarre 180 I've seen in a game. Either way, Starfield's biggest problem was its overreliance on procedural generation. 99% of the worlds are only populated with radiant POIs and nameless NPCs. You will pretty much never land on a planet and come across and actual settlement with handcrafted NPCs and quests. The only place you find that kind of content are on the 4-5 planets with cities / hub zones, where you might receive a quest that sends you to another planet, which just entails loading screen fast travel. If I remember correctly, if you visited a place where a quest would take you too, and you hadn't started the quest at the designated giver, there would be nothing going on there. Bethesda completely destroyed the organic exploration that was one of the stronger aspects of their other RPGs. The game may have actually been good if it was contained to 7-8 planets that actually had shit that made you want to explore, and rewarded you for doing so.

Todd won by the way.

>>3821054
I knew it would be a disappointment because it was made by Bethesda

>>3827230
>win
>when it was an astronomical failiure everyone has already forgotten about

It was such a flop post release support was dropped after finishing the first DLC that was already partially done, just so they could rush out the next Fallout and Elder Scrolls quicker.
But what did you expect when you had the retard Emil in charge of the Design and Writing.

>>3820973
Yeah but they dont have good enough writers for that so they'll just choose the most boring path.

>>3820126 (OP)
>Doesn't include psychic powers or aliens
So all of that alien life and main monsters with (MENTAL POWERS THAT GIVE YOU HALLUCINATIONS) is what then?

>>3827230
Todd always wins.

>>3827230
best compared to what? there hasn't been a decent AAA since eternal and alyx 5 fucking years ago

>>3827712
The best-selling game of september, 2023

Also BG3 and Elden Ring

starfield doesn't have aliens? not even star trek type aliens where they glue a bump to the guys forehead and call him a new species? what the fuck kind of space game is this

>>3820466
>wizard characters are just power fantasies
You won't say that when they come for you.

>>3820126 (OP)
Of all the criticisms to make about this game, the fact that RPG fans hyperfixate on the lack of space fantasy elements speaks volumes. Bunch of manchildren.

how did the fallout general die and starfield survived? No one is even modding this shit are they?

>>3828133
There's now so many Bethesda games that one doesn't need to cling to one and extend it via modding.

>>3828148
I mean if I replay every mainline game post 2000 for 50 hours each, that's 300 hours.

>>3820126 (OP)
>Doesn't include psychic powers
did you play the game? it also has real scientific concepts like differing gravity and no gravity in space. did you even build a ship?

>>3827728
Outer Worlds also has no aliens

>>3828711
It does. Alien rats and dogs and cows. And also alien monster mantis and poison things. It doesn't have human like intelligent species because by the lore, humans visited a new solar system to establish the Halcyon colony, they didn't find any intelligent life there.

I have never been impressed by bethesda.
They are exclusively living off of boomer nostalgia from the past, people don't understand the company was sold out to investors a long ass time ago.

Virtually everyone who likes their games shares the sentiment of “X was their last good game, then they went downhill and suck now”.

It's dead bro...its heart rhythm has flatlined.

Every Morrowboomer. Everyone has favorites and nostalgia. I doubt Oblivionchads think it was the last good one. Skyrimbros will become Skyrimboomers before a new TES comes out.

Meanwhile the only FO3 enjoyer I knew IRL loved FO4 more.

>>3821357
At least I do have to pretend, shitwit.

>>3828733
Morrowind is the best bethesda game. It took me 20 years to realize but it's true.

>>3827230
>of sptember
AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHA
LOOK AT HIM

>>3828733
morrowind and skyrim were impressive

>>3827793
to me it's just an issue with how boring the setting is. people wouldn't be wishing for space wizards of the setting was actually cool

There were aliens in there, as animals type creatures.

You didn't play the game

https://twistedvoxel.com/bethesda-confirms-new-starfield-story-dlc-free-updates-and-space-travel-overhaul/

now that's funny, the problems with starfield run too deep to ever fix

>>3836252
Can't appeal to everyone, might as well appeal to the fans you actually got. Creations and Game Pass will ultimately pay for the lack of big player numbers

all they needed to do was fallout in space but instead we got this bullshit loading screen simulator with shitty realism, yes todd i enjoy 5 loading screens to load on a planet x 100. I really tried to like it sunk maybe 75 hours in before I just got disgusted with it, never tried the dlc.

>>3836252
>We have some cool stuff coming, including free updates and features the players have been asking for, as well as a new DLC story. I can’t go into all the details just yet, but I will say part of the team has been focused on space gameplay to make the travels there more rewarding. We’re also adding some new game systems, and a few other smaller delights.
I wonder if they can do something to make travel more seamless, get around loading screens

>>3820126 (OP)
Games where you fly a spaceship are always doomed to never satisfy, and draw disappointment and eventual hate from the players.
When it comes down to it, it just reminds us of what we can't have. Or the future that has been stolen from us.
