Sigh. All these publishers are doing by rushing games out the door is training future buyers to not want to buy games on release.
Sales figures keep going up so why would they wait?
Exactly. It was on games pass and it was still the most profitable release Bethesda has ever had. Why put in real effort when you don’t have to?
Xbox’s M.O.
DLSS doesn’t fix a broken game loop
How is the game loop broken?
Did you try to play stealth my guy. And how much god damn work do I have to put in, how much useless crafting do I have to do so I can just put a silencer on my gun come on man if this doesn’t mean broken what does.
It’s “come on” or “c’mon”, not “common”.
Thanks, I guess. I’ll edit.
Sorry, hadn’t intended to come off rude. :(
Yeah, my first build was a stealth character, I did it just fine. You’re mostly likely specing your builds wrong for stealth or wearing a million pounds of armor clanking around thinking you’re being stealthy. There’s specific armor pieces meant for stealth, which also help a ton.
The weapon modding isn’t broken. If you find a gun with a suppressor, you can take that off and put it on the same model as yours. I don’t think needing a skill/crafting to make a whole suppressor warrants the game being called broken.
Everyone says everything is “broken” now. The game loop absolutely works so it’s not broken Yet it is flawed.
Yeah, they could’ve done better with the New Game+ for sure, which to me isn’t exactly surprising since it’s their first main line game to have it.
I do appreciate that there are considerable differences to the story on certain replays, but it’s a slog doing basically the same thing every time. I wish there was a bit more variance.
The flying between or into planets/loading screen issue, I think, is entirely due to the pressure from management announcing early, and then a rush to meet the original deadline, and then another rush to meet the Microsoft mandated delay. Fixing it could’ve been worth it, but it would’ve certainly taken an uncertain number of months, which wasn’t worth it to management or microsoft.
I do think it will be remembered fondly eventually just like every other mainline Bethesda game has been, though.
Funnily enough, this is the first time a game’s NG+ actual felt compelling to me with how it’s actually part of the story and the workings of the universe.
I doubt a patch nor mod support will motivate me to play this game. This is the most empty Bethesda game they’ve released when they could’ve had something special if they had any ambition.
So does this mean the game is finally ready for me to buy? Just waiting on a Steam sale and I’ll finally get to play this. Bugs or not, I’m not paying $70 for a base video game.

Nope. Worth waiting for a few more fixes and proper mod support.
Yep, as someone who beat it several times, I agree with this. Its a great game, but is unpolished at launch like any bethesda game, 5 years from now it will have memorable gamer cultural references and a consistent modding/playerbase.
With the love of using the game engine to create entirely new games that bethesda fans have, I’m basically expecting a Star Wars/Star Trek total overhaul mod within the next decade.
The playerbase already dipped below Skyrim on steam. I really doubt that this game will have the usual Bethesda longevity.
While that’s definitely possible, Bethesda games always take unpredictable trajectories.
I wouldn’t take it dipping below their most beloved game in player count as it being a flop just yet.
Wow, I consider a game “personally great” if I like it enough to completely finish once.
Id wait till post expansion and creation kit imo.
Reletively speaking starfield is already a lot less buggy then other Bethesda game studio titles. Its just matter of fixing parts of the game some users didnt like.
Think I’ll keep waiting a bit more. Give great mods time to get in.
But Todd told me it was optimized!
The game we should have had at launch is one where my >100h save wouldn’t make it crash on load.
Did they finally release modding tools? Bethesda games without mods are such a slog and Starfield was worse than any previous one.
Menus the game?
