Wake me up when a game about exploration actually has exploration in it. Loading screens, fast travel, shallow space content, minimally consequential space ship building...
Sure, in this game you "go places", but you go places to be there, ignoring all the excitement of what has to happen to get there and what happens along the way. That's not really exploration. That's just a level select screen.
Yep.
They genuinely took everything that made people love their previous games, and removed it.
They replaced hand crafted with random generation.
They replaced rewarding exploration with vast empty landscapes peppered with repetative, boring duplicated PoIs.
and they replaced interesting dungeons with literally a handful of pregenerated ones that get plopped and replopped over and over again.
and it all builds up to..what? finding artifacts that give you totally-not-space-magic, with the same boring FMV every time, almost all the spells of which are generally useless... and an ending thats just a NG+ with very mild changes for the first few times you do it.
and do it you must, because you are expected by them to beat the game at least..what was it? 10? 20? times? to get the best suit and ship.
but you must do it on the same character, because you're not allowed to change your perks, stats, or anything, to make it even remotely more interesting.
Eh... we need a serious overhaul to base building and NG+ (specifically, I think the reliance on resetting the universe to progress is fucking dumb).
These are what I await.
Is this just a reskinned skyrim horse?
Its either that or an invisible guy wearing a car hat.
Genuinely excited for this. I enjoy the scanning and landmark points but getting to them was a chore at anything over 500 meters. With this I'll be able to survey planets faster and hopefully escort some of these random injured NPCs back their base/ship more quickly. Maybe even take Andreja out on the Paradiso volleyball court like they did in the trailer at 0:54. Nice work devs and editing team!
also getting the 1st dlc september 30th
i hope it doesnt conflict with any of my mods
Its betheda. even patches break mods. a whole DLC will absolutely break all kinds.
Is the DLC free or are they charging? I havent followed Starfield since seeing this video today, and last i checked there were rumors that the first DLC pack was gonna be free to everyone because of how shite the game is.
edit
Nevermind, finally found an answer. Its free to premium edition owners.
I haven't heard any of those rumours. The DLC is "free" for people who bought (at least) the digital deluxe edition, but that's it. If they do that, cool, but don't expect it.
Curiosity will probably get the better of me and lead me to reinstall the game to see how its changed since launch and play shattered space.
crap well maybe i will just go back a save where i didnt have mods or something lol
finally
