After eight years of development, Starfield finally released on September 6th, 2023. This video is a critical review and analysis of the result. We’ll also talk a little about the future of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and what Starfield means for Bethesda Studios as a whole.

Can't wait for Starfield: Special Edition
I like that people only really criticized at launch about this stuff in Fallout 4 honestly Fallout 4 did this type of game the best good combat and decent exploration
I disagree respectfully
Skyrim is golden, now gtfu 😂
38:00 All followers will comment on player actions and situations and have unique dialogue based on location
I wonder how the author feels about Starfield.
you're not gonna believe this
@@GunmetalStug After posting this, I clicked on your channel and that answered my question. But it was obvious considering your problems with other Bethesda games and how bad Starfield ended up being.
Skyrim was awesome dude. I am sorry you have become so elitist and bitter that you could not find joy in a game like that. The problem is with you inside yourself. Learn to love yourself.
This, how many single player games from 2011 still have a large active player community like Skyrim. Even today, I still regularly see recently released videos with 100k+ views discussing about the lore in the game such as the Thalmor or the civil war or the lore of hidden areas within the game that the average player may have missed.
The only way I play skyrim now is on the highest difficulty with no HUD, and I just explore. I don't even activate dragons, I just wander, talk to people, explore dungeons if I find them, follow road signs if I need to get somewhere, and never fast travel or even open the map. It's fun for about an hour or 2 i suppose
Appreciate serious commentary on this game from the perspective of someone who doesnt masturbate to snuff videos, or kneejerk reacting to stimuli. These games did leave me conflicted enjoying, as repeated events in my life and knowledge of repeasted events outside my life changed my perspective on police from 'cool guns cool car cool job' as a child, to a more realistic outlook. That theyre mostly thugs who got bullied too much in school and want power over others, and toys. I think that the situations in RON and SWAT are the times where domestic soldiers are needed helped me be ok with it. I think the fact that its fiction, its not realistic, its hyperrealistic, stylized, each situation is the most dramatic and violent situation that a SWAT officer would feel lucky(or unlucky) to find themselves in once in their entire career. No dog shooting or crib flashbanging. Everyone in RON is dangerous and argueably deserves the level of caution and violence the player is there to deal out. Just providing a counterpoint to the snowflakes that flocked to the comments to cry about you not getting on your knees for our boys in blue.
The phrase "petulant contrarian" is an unprovoked attack on my character and I demand an apology.
How can elden ring be compared with witcher 3 and or skyrim if you dont have dialogue choices?
I pre-ordered skyrim. I was obsessed with morrowind in high school, then oblivion came out and disappointed me. I was heart broken. When skyrim was announced they claimed they were returning to a more morrowind like experience and I thought hell yeah they stumbled a bit but my favorite series is back. Then release day came, I saw my roomate play the intro and decided not to pick up my pre-order. 13 years later and I've still never played that dreadful game.
It's one of the games of all time
Fallout 4 is truly the most boring drug to become addicted to.
You might have autism
This was fire. I'm also stunned how similar your opinions are to mine, you broke this all down in a great way
hm. just saying oblivion was bether. skyrim to me was just a nice grindthoug.
Dude I’d really like to see your opinion on “Enderal” For me that game lives up to the promise that Skyrim’s advertising put forward. Posted before I got to that bit of the video lmao
32:47 First playthrough I literally did make it by accident because I was just following the imperial dude and didn't even notice the other guy
I don't know who you talked to that thought an updated Creation Engine would make ES6 better. Everyone I know is worried it will be a dumpster fire. At least The Wayward Realms should keep the spirit of OG Elder Scrolls alive.
Halo 2 is such a good example of your point on politics. One of the best improvements over CE was how in depth, and front & center they put the political struggles of the Covenant and the Arbiter. Telling the story this way fleshed out the villains so well, and was fantastic for world building. Instead of sheepishly worming around the issue, they embraced it and made it fucking epic and unforgettable. BGS is either too afraid, incapable or being intentionally barred from making a story period; let alone a good and in-depth one. Makes me sad, they had the keys to the damn kingdom with this game. New IP, multi million dollar budget, hundreds of developers. And this is the best they could do.
The Halo books expand on this even further - the Human-Covenant War was a war of religious genocide instigated by the Prophets simply because humanity was a threat to their own power and influence. An extremely political story! Now, Halo isn't high art or even particularly complex, but it understood how important it is to have real ideas and themes behind your story... and it's a linear FPS about green space man shooting aliens. That an open world RPG could be so bereft of meaning and depth is still baffling to me. Starfield may be the clearest example of soulless Neoliberal Realism ever created.
Me watching a game on why skyrims sucks while playing Skyrim without mods
Genuinely great video, but it's not "mall-dives" it "mal-deevs"
this is going to hurt even worse when the next elder scrolls comes out and is just skyrim 2 but in a different location
they are so terrified of right wingers getting offended at their political implications they just waste time and flop around.
Crazy that this is 10 fucking years old
Wait. Did Anzu eat the old Tankery Team?
idk i like it
oh ew a pinko
oh ew a commie
I hate that george ark ark martin was involved in elden rings story making process. I feel like all he did was say "make all of the important people have a name that starts with an M" Mohg, margitt, morgott, melina, melania, miquella, marika, etc. Ive never thought he was a great writter
A patch alone won't fix this. Not even a phantom liberty type DLC/extension can save it. Bethesda is dying and it took way too long to reach this point.
I tried telling a coworker once the issues this game has but he is such a massive fanboy, he ignored them 😂
Kingdome come deliverance has a horrible opening sequence that made me lose interested in the game instantly plus I wouldn't call it a true rpg same as witcher 3
I love Skyrim... As a world. Somewhere to just explore and do random side quests to the point that I avoid doing the main quest so dragons don't show up. It's not a great RPG, it's about as RPG as Borderlands (which I love but isn't an RPG) Skyrims story isn't good, it's combat is absolutely shit, after finishing the game as almost every archetype I just make an archer to avoid actual combat of wildly swinging whatever weapon skin looks good today. The magic isn't engaging or varied and the unique items are mostly overshadowed by blacksmithing and enchanting. But the lore isn't bad, the world feels good to be in...as long as you don't talk to too many people. But is it a game I go back to? Not anymore. FF1, VI, and XII, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Ultima IV, Legend of Zelda, Borderlands 2, sure but not Skyrim. I probably should have said "I Loved Skyrim".
Definitely dont agree with all your points but Vanilla Skyrim DOES suck. Love the ZOOM background music. Miss Sheogorath's dulcit rhymes
If you ever played Deus Ex you will understand that weapons are tools, and enemies are obstacles. • Commando? Sniper shot in the head or riot prod to the back. • Lone guard? Croswbow bolt in the head, or baton in the back. • Squad of soldiers, maybe with a man in black? Gas grenade, then handgun or shotgun. • Spider bots? High ground and sabot rounds, or explosives. • Robots? EMP grenade, explosives or thermoptic camo. • Man in Black? Snipe, or gas grenade, or just explode the guy. • Transgenics? Tranquilizer dart, except for adult karkians. Eveey opponent requires a different approach, and let's you vary your equipment. Quite neat
I remember getting the gane on launch and immediately being frustrated with the outdated controller layout and combat feel. It felt like swinging a sword through Styrofoam on the moon.
its the only Bethesda game Ive ever completed the main quest, probably because the 'world' is so boring i had nothing else to do except rush through
I agree when you say Skyrim sucks but as soon as Elden Ring's massive but shallow coc was sucked, you've lost me. It's barely a less flawed game than skyrim from a purely "Open World" standpoint.
And here I want a grand CRPG set inThe Expanse, oh how I desire it.
When right-wingers talk about political games they do not talk about Bioshock, Deus Ex, Helldivers 2, Metal Gear Solid, Fallout New Vegas or anything like it. You know the games with large points about the problems in society and critique of political ideologies. They talk about Paper Mario having a purple ghost who's trans, or there being a trans man in Dragon's Age 2, or Battletech letting you create a non-binary character, or Assassin's Creed letting you play as Yasuke etc etc Don't you love when terms become hollowed out of all meaning by men being threatened by the concept of other people existing?
When Angry Joe played the game he accidentally sipped another guy's drink. Leading to the Crimson Fleet questline, as the hardened criminal he was.
The multiverse thing could be such a cool mainmechanic for a game. Give the player a reason to again and again try out new timelines to right a wrong for example. Have their decisions matter and create new unknown consequences each new try until finally you get the right combinations of events to, for example, save a person. It would be a story that has been told many times, but never like that in a videogame on a scale like this.
Pagliarulo never played Fallout I take it. It is a bleak masterpiece in immersive writing like little else. It can easily rival the great works of writing.
I saw it, I have to say it: FOR ROCK AND STONE!
The game is so bland that even the deconstruction videos end up boring, unlike the Fallout or Elder Scrolls videos. Regardless of who makes them.
This game has 60% on Steam, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has 96%. Said game is about a bread-addicted, depressed and divorced cartoon duck trying to solve who stole Laura's launch at Bearbus local station. The game is less than 10€ and absolutely hilarious.
