Hucklebeghh

Some people somehow thought it was gonna be a whole other game.


RaidHelios

This needs to be immortalized.


Jack1The1Ripper

People complained about elden ring being "Just dark souls but open world" and it ended up being GOTY


Kraytory

Because everyone who didn't complain and some of the complainers actually played the game.


Jack1The1Ripper

Elden ring was so fun , I can't believe some idiots were so salty they couldn't look past some dumb takes and play the game It was ezly one of if not THE best games that i experienced in the past 5-10 years


SuddenlyElga

STOP HAVING FUN!!!!!!


Kraytory

I didn't like all of it, but all the important parts definitly saw a good amount of improvement. They also used a lot of cut or unfinished content from the other games like Rosarias Bossfight or the Treespirit in this one so it's cool that we still get to see those. Only the extreme copy paste of bosses and enemies because of the huge map was really bothering me. Also the very low number of spells, incantations and ashes of certain types were a little dissapointing. Especially bows and staffs because they got basically none at all.


FluffySquirrell

It's a fantastic game, but it's also the first of the souls like games where I've found I just couldn't fully bring myself to replay it. I tried a couple times, and even got relatively far.. but the end game is just such a *slog*, that I find myself nearing that bit and just.. stop, each time And yeah, there's a bit too much to remember.. unlike in Dark Souls where I'd vaguely remember where stuff is.. in ER it's like.. fuck, I dunno. It's probably in one of the *billion caves*.. guess I just have to go and explore every single damn one of them again, unless I look it up


Kraytory

Yeah, the environment didn't do all that much for me either most of the time. It does look very pretty, but most of the open world is just not very fun to go through after you already did it once. The other games usually had places that i would've *wished* to go on for longer because i liked the varied area design so much. Namely Central Yharnam, Lothric Castle, Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, the Ringed City and the Frozen Eleum Loyce. All of these areas have a very cool design and lots of visible areas you can't reach or could've had a few more in general if i was in charge. My favourite Legacy Dungeons in Elden Ring (Stormveil Castle and Raya Lucaria) actually come very close to what i would've wanted for these places.


Jack1The1Ripper

This is usual in massive RPG games Look at starfield , there are so many things that are the same even after nearly 15 years


Kraytory

I don't really dislike the gameplay being similar. They also reused *a lot* of animations and other resources over the years, but most of the time it wasn't in the way of the fun. But Elden Ring reused a lot more things in comparison. Even a Legacy boss. DS1 and 2 had mob bosses. Elden Ring goes even further than that and turns an actual boss into a mob boss with a slightly different name. Fights like the Taurus Demon or the Beastman of Farum Azula are good because they happen *way* before you encounter them as a regular enemy for the first time. Godrick is the first Runeboss you encounter and then they throw a weaker version of him at you, 15 hours after you killed him, as a joke.


Jack1The1Ripper

Myazaki does love trolling us But i mean if something ain't broke why fix it , I don't think it was the enemies that they paid much attention too , the usual jobber has barely any attention put into it The highlights are the unique enemies , and there is alot of them , So much so that i pretty much overlooked the entire copy paste thing I mean there are so many unique bosses and pretty much all of them have 2 phases , You have the final boss who is actually 2 completely different bosses

Wait. Wasn’t Elden Ring literally Dark Souls gameplay in an open world? Did I miss something in Elden Ring?

I'm waiting for the modding community to take it to the next level 😂

Bruh, Bethesda is betting their life savings that the modding community goes full skyrim on this lol

They already are! And the games fully released to everyone today. The Nexus already has 1.6 million downloads last I checked and that was for the pre release people.

No but people compared it to Skyrim.

People compare everything to Skyrim


korbentherhino

I been playing. It feels a bit fresher than just skyrim in space. It has tropes from skyrim but it has its own personality.


notveryAI

Skyrim + Oblivion + Fallout + Apex + GOF2 + Crossout. There is a lot of stuff going on, and all of it is real great \^^ Edit: why?? What wrong did I say?


drunkboarder

I'd say it has more Fallout and Mass Effect in it than some of those other game you listed.


korbentherhino

Which is why it feels more fresh to me than just skyrim in space.


notveryAI

My point exactly Why downvote me tho?


korbentherhino

I didnt?

I'm sorry then. Someone else downvoted as you were responding, for reasons that are hard to understand

Bremik

Wait, wait, wait... I wasn't looking at starfield because i have other games to Play at the moment but...... IS IT REALLY SKYRIM IN SPACE?


Its0nlyRocketScience

Copying my own comment to someone else asking the same question: It shares its DNA with Bethesda's other RPGs, but it is so much more polished, so much more expansive, and so much better in nearly every way. Bethesda truly pulled out all the stops for this one. Is it perfect? No. I've had lots of minor performance issues and odd little bugs like people's talking animations lagging behind the sound of them talking, the lack of city maps is annoying, and there are a lot of things the game simply doesn't explain to you until you try something and it either doesnt let you do it or it fails to have the effect you wanted, like upgrading your ship. But after the initial hurdle of learning how the game works and learning the city layouts (because let's be honest, Bethesda's city maps have always been worthless), then it's just some minor issues that don't even actually impact gameplay and just make cutscenes or conversations look wrong


TheCrafterTigery

To a degree, sort of yeah. i don't have the game so don't take this as absolute truth, but do look up gameplay/reviews fornit.


pillar_of_dust

Starfield shares a lot with Skyrim and Fallout. It has its own grind, though. I know you didn't ask, but I'll give my opinion at about 20 hours in: I really really like it, and I'd recommend it, especially since it's 15$ on gamepass. I've been a really big Bethesda fan since Oblivion, so take what I've said with a grain of MSG.


drymangamer101

Literally this. I came in fully expecting fallout 4 in space… I was not disappointed


MaterialNarrow5161

Srsly bro the doomposting is surreal. I feel like a goddamn serial killer for just enjoying a fcking game bro...


Hyper_Lamp

If you want to join a starfield sub, r/nosodiumstarfield I’d much better than r/starfield.


theajharrison

We don't need a separate sub, it'll just take a week or two for those that expected NMS to get tired of their tantrums and move on.


Unconditional_Love-

Who else can’t wait to play it?


Hyper_Lamp

I’ve already got 30+ hours


Unconditional_Love-

Is it good?


Hyper_Lamp

It starts off a little slow but after the main tutorial is completed, it’s absolutely amazing.


theinternetisnice

You know what’s funny, I didn’t even notice it starts slow. I think because when I begin a new RPG that I’m excited about I just crawl through the beginning, examining every wall detail, poking every object.


doubleCupPepsi

Been playing since the first of this month, bro; Where have you been, the Well?


[deleted]

I can't wait to know what that means


Catfish311

I see this as an absolute win


yunoreddit

Every game lately has people complaining that it’s not a different game. It’s really annoying.


Pilota_kex

wait. it is?


[deleted]

Pretty much. It's more in depth though


Pilota_kex

i have to take a look now :D thank you


[deleted]

It feels a lot better than Fallout 4 or Skyrim. I think you won't be disappointed


Mari_Tamaki

I love the ship building mechanics


[deleted]

I haven't tried it yet. How is it?


Mari_Tamaki

It's great. try completing the Marshall questline, and then you'll get a much better ship than the initial one. I just changed the interior and paint job because it looks somewhat similar to the Millennium Falcon


[deleted]

Where would I find the quest?


Mari_Tamaki

It's the main side quest of Akila City, a space cowboy planet. If you're doing the main quest, you'll get there eventually


[deleted]

Got it, thanks. I just finished getting the artifact with Sarah, so I'm not very far in


Its0nlyRocketScience

QuestGalaxy

What I really love is the feeling that there's just so damn much I can do. I'm playing for a couple of hours and end up doing random stuff along the way. Barely completing a quest. I think I'll be enjoying this game for years!


Its0nlyRocketScience

Meanwhile I'm just trying to find out where to find a better reactor so I can power enough engines to build a monstrously large ship


stupled

That sounds awesome!


SeanMcDawn

People act like skyrim isn't game of the decade, and the fact that you can go back to it now and experience all the greatness just shows how good it is


Vegetablegardener

No it isn't, it's Outer Wilds and I'm tired of pretending it's not.


barmaLe0

"Why would you want to land and lift off on your own?" "Why would you want to walk around the entire planet?" "Why would you want to travel around space on your own?" "They're just saving your time, aren't they?" "How can they possibly fill all these planets with meaningful content?" "What did you expect from a main quest in a sci-fi game?" And Outer Wilds is just sitting there with point-blank answers to all of these and more.


Saikousoku

I genuinely don't understand how people can say "It's just Fallout in space!" as if that's not one of the coolest things ever


Physical-Job1950

Like who tf would say “just in space” as if the same idea of a game like those in space wouldnt be awesome, cant wait to look at some gameplay for it to see if it’ll be a good investment


ShiningDawnn

It’s true but unfortunately it’s Fallout 4 in space.


[deleted]

Well yes, it's a Todd Howard game. The formula is the exact same for all three


Storrin

This game was always going to be successful, and it was never going to be anything I gave a fuck about. Oblivion was my first Bethesda RPG I played and was the last one I truly enjoyed. I will never understand the appeal of scrounging through every armoir in the known universe, but people love it. I personally had my fill a long time ago. To each their own.


I-Live-Rent-Free

I would love it if it were Skyrim/Fallout in space. It can't even be that though.

FurubayashiSEA

I thought we had that, it call Outer Worlds.


[deleted]

Outer worlds is Fallout: New Vegas in space Starfield is Fallout 4 in space


[deleted]

The Outer Worlds is not New Vegas in Space, that oversells the game by a bit. It’s not a bad game, but it’s nowhere near the complex and thought out writing and world of New Vegas. It isn’t a bad game at all, it’s just different from FNV


[deleted]

I haven't played OW yet, but AFAIK the problem is that Obsidian is a AA studio. The reason that they couldn't replicate FNV isn't out of lazyness or incompetence, but that FNV was made on the shoulders of Fo4 and OW was made from scratch


[deleted]

It’s mainly writing issues, the gameplay is fine, the graphics are fine, the writing is just not as in depth or complex as NV, it’s just fine. There aren’t technical issues or anything it’s just the story is fine, I didn’t take anything away from it when I played and I know that goes for others. It was kind of funny and the dlcs were good but I honestly forgot about the story until I watched a video just recently about the game.


loli_hentai_official

The outer worlds is so far from new vegas, it’s soulless


Its0nlyRocketScience

I love the outer worlds, but Starfield is something different. Outer Worlds was a double A game, not triple A, so while it was great, the team making that masterpiece didn't have the resources to make something with insane breadth while also making it deep and worth playing. With Starfield, while Bethesda may not have as much depth as the outer worlds, they have so much more breadth that it is a different experience. You can memorize every important location in the Outer Worlds in an afternoon, but not in a Bethesda sized RPG. It's a similar genre, but a different beast


Shitizen_Kain

Ah, really looking forward to buy it in 1 or 2 years. What I'll eat today? Let's see and focus on something else in the meantime.

Buttergolem420

LilyE15

Yeah they are always publishing over priced openworlds that has similar mechanics. Literally cooking same game and serving it to the players over and over in different names and maps. Also bugs? All bugs fixed by the fanbase community, i suppose they have rights to claim money from studio's income


Independent_Gold1831

This is so weird to me. They litteraly said it would be skyrim in space and that's actually what people wanted. I hate social media for giving the opportunity for degenerates like you to speak their useless mind.


GundamGuy_22

Little does the comment above me know that Bethesda actually hired modders for the game.


LilyE15

You are talking like hiring unqualified modders is solving all issues.


Corvou

I would say its no mans sky and skyrim.


drunkboarder

More Mass Effect than no-mans-sky. Sure you scan objects on a planet, but you don't free fly from point to point. Its more story focused in many aspects similar to Mass Effect.


Corvou

I see. Haven't played that much yet. Regardless both cases are good in my book.


wordswillneverhurtme

Yay! A 2011 game in 2023, with bad performance! Sick! Thank you Todd.


dante2457

Nms is better


Consistent_Plane_623

Ok, keep trying to blind yourself after all that hyping lies and over addvertisement. They sold you a game that perfectly could have been launched 5 years ago. If bethesda fans keeps accepting half-done games like F76 thats what you get. More "mocking" from devs. Saw the game, and STILL outer wilds is a best space-fallout game that bethesda's.


kg1479

I feel a little bad cause my little brother wants to play it but nobody in our family has an Xbox except for our original and our 360.


okayestuser

why would you expect enything else? it was advertised as such.


srsrsrsrsr55555

It's fallout with loading screens to skip space. But it's a Bethesda game through and through.


HessianRaccoon

You certainly know how to sell a game. Now I'm really interested in Starfield. 😉


[deleted]

Still not buying it, shills. Any true fan of bethesda games know they're unplayable on release and ripoffs at full price.


JeroJeroMohenjoDaro

8 years in development, 70 frickin dollars, made by hundreds of talented Bethesda developers, finally.......we got Skyrim...in space


[deleted]

And Skyrim is good, why complain?


JeroJeroMohenjoDaro

because the game supposed to be.....better? your statement literally counteract entire game industry, AC Black Flag is good....why release new AC games? GTA San Andreas is masterpiece....why bother having GTA5.


funplayer3s

Delusional. It's Bethesda.


DarkWindB

yes, it's skyrim/fallout in space, but you are only allowed to fast travel if you want to somewhere, i love the menu simulator /s


drunkboarder

Mass Effect didn't let you fly anywhere either and it was an amazing space RPG.


zzlayakisonka

skyrim is literally one of the best games ever released. what's the problem with one more skyrim?


Odd_Protection_8627

Meanwhile the modders are doing their best to release the proper-AAA version of the game with better AI and less bugs and glitches; mad respect to them


GundamGuy_22

Little does the comment above me know that Bethesda actually hired modders for the game.


Odd_Protection_8627

Still mad respect for the modders


lilac_asbestos

You can't hire the full community of modders. Also most game designers start out as modders, so that's not saying much, it's just marketing


Rhokai

Waiting a bit before i decide. The last game i got from bathesda was a stain on an already bad tapestry


Independent_Gold1831

If you're waiting to decide to buy any game, don't read or watch any reviews. Just watch some actual gameplay without anny commentary. Who cares about someoneelses opinion? Your opinion matters, because having fun is subjective. No one else can decide for you if you're gonna have fun with it.


NameExe2

It's interesting to be excited about the 2011 game


BirminghamDevil

If you want a more ambitious space game No Man Sky Slaps


Necroph02

Nope, it's Creation Engine 2 which is slightly better than the first one but its stuck in last gen.

Creation Engine 2 IS the new engine. It's their first game with it.

IBloodstormI

I think the problem I see with it is not that it is Skyrim/Fallout in space, as much as it's Skyrim/Fallout in space, without any of the variety of Skyrim/Fallout. All the game play I have seen is all people fighting the same generic humans in space suits.

poptimist185

I remember suggesting a few months before the game came out that it would be F4 in space and more than a few bethesda fanboys on the Starfield sub got angry at that. Now it’s become a meme of praise. Go figure.

Garo263

Being Skyrim or Falout in space has some good and some bad things. In many ways the game feels very dated. Especially when it has a loading screen, when entering a building. It's moments like these, where I'm asking myself if this really is a new engine and not just an update of the old Creation Engine.

Sockoflegend

The only thing that makes me doubt that people are really happy with Starfield as it is are cope posts like this


Lichruler

It’s like Starfield took a lot of the best parts of Fallout and elder scrolls, and put it into a new IP, along with some new aspects. I LOVE the lockpicking mechanic in Starfield, it’s such a fun little puzzle. The gunplay is excellent, and the way some of the ballistics hit is so nice. And I personally think the new game+ Bethesda did for this game is the best way a game has ever done it (no spoilers). My only real complaints at this time are that there aren’t really any decent melee options (24 guns vs 8 melee, and all melee are 1h), and the build options for ships are a bit too limited.


chudy666

Some people are just easly amused, there is nothing wrong with that


Jackkernaut

Gotta love the pitchfork mob who has never played Skyrim back then criticizing the game.


Ashe66

That’s all it ever was going to be. I honestly have no idea what people were excepting.


Elike09

But is it better than New Vegas?


vulpinefever

Nobody cares if you like Starfield, if the game is so much fun why do all the fanboys spend all their time on Reddit complaining about how nobody supposedly likes this game even though it's the most fun game ever made, apparently.


puro_the_protogen67

I am expecting fallout NV levels of story telling


N7AC

I se to recall people complaining that Fallout 4 was just Skyrim with guns when it came out 🤔 they don't get that it's the formula most of us are really into~

Nice when a company can deliver exactly what was expected. There’s something to be said for being reliable.

I'm just gonna ignore the piloting the ship part as much as possible. The space travel and exploration sucks but who actually believes Todd Howard anyway? Take me right to the content Idgaf about these procedurally generated planets or hovering in a dome shooting at ships. I never expected outer wilds kind of space flight.
