Starfield - Todd Howard's latest masterpiece

[Jason Bright]

How many blacks play RPGs? I have been gaming for years and can't remember any more than 3 blacks in MMos or online RPG games

Actually.. +1 to @aweigh ..

Based NIPS have completely buck broken black people.. They swarm Anime / Yugioh / pokemon / etc circles. If you asked me 10 years ago what blacks would be doing.. I would of never guessed hugging their Waifu pillow and playing Tales of Series and Genshin.

I was aware of their affinity for fighting games and shonen action anime but one of the stranger things I've seen on YouTube was a Yu-Gi-Oh channel staffed by 4-5 black guys. And then there's that JRPG stream show where by the sound of things most of them are black.

Most anime avatars are *******.

I rarely browse 4chan because it's extremely degenerate, but that image and this one made me cry laughing.

[BENEFACTOR]

I'm enjoying starfield quite a bit more then previous bethesda titles!

[Nemesis]

I hope this is not really you.

[JoeSmol69]

Deadass, I love how multicultural Starfield is, every flavour of the rainbow apart from whites but see you are the protag is white so you get to be the white hero that saves the universe due to the lack of progress the rest make.

[BENEFACTOR]

I hope this is not really you.

It's an old pic back when I was gaming the system.

[czarwave]

I enjoyed starfield more than Outer worlds was 10x better actually had places to go.

Zoomer haircuts aren't that old...

It's not a zoomer haircut moron, my friends and I all got haircuts like that when boardwalk empire was on.

Even worse

Its been 10 years since that style got popular. Now, you're late for the glue factory.

Found out that "Entangled" (the only good quest in the whole **** game) has a secret third solution.

► Show Spoiler

For those who didn't play the game and are not going to do that in the near future - here's the premise:

Main character travels to a distant planet in order to acquire an artifact. After approaching the planet, player hears a distress call from a scientist - the only survivor of some kind of incident. Upon landing, we find out that the laboratory is intact, the incident happened many days ago, all of the scientists are alive and well except for one guy who got killed. Wtf is going on?

Turns out the scientists were experimenting on that artifact you came searching for, and their botched experiment caused a distortion in time. So in order to finish the quest and take the artifact, player must navigate through the lab while constantly hopping between two different timelines - the one where everyone except for that one sucker is alive, but all the doors are closed due to security lockdown, and the other one where the laboratory is completely trashed and overrun with alien lifeforms, but at least the doors are open and there's one surviving guy helping you out.

Something similar to "a crack in the slab" from Dishonored 2.

I thought this quest had only two endings:

► Show Spoiler

In the end you must make a decision of which timeline to keep, which boils down to whether you want to save the dude who was surviving on his own for many days in a trashed lab, or pick the timeline where he died and the lab stayed intact. Neither option is treated as good or bad, picking the dude doesn't mean you "kill" the other scientists - both timelines continue to exist regardless of player's choice.

But it turns out there's a third ending, which is sort-of hidden. Well it's not actually hidden, it's just prior to this moment the game been treating you like a baby by spoon-feeding you and guiding you with quest markers, and the third option is not marked. So, there's an unmarked hidden ending in the already quality quest. Sounds good, right?

► Show Spoiler

Wrong. The third option ruins the quest's ending by being objectively the best one - both timelines merge, the lost dude survives and reunites with the other scientists.

Even the only good quest in the entire game is secretly ruined by Bethesda.

[The_Mask]

Imagine how rough does it have to be when you declare Dishonored 2 the better game?

[wndrbr]

Dishonored 2 is an alright game, one of the better AAA ones that came in the last ten years.

[rusty_shackleford]

I'm now angry after reading that, it was one of the very well written quests with a tough choice and they ruined it.
They did the same exact **** with the one where your companion dies, because it's all meaningless: you get them back in NG+.

6.75/10
Not happy with 6.5 or 7

Has some decent quests

[wndrbr]

****, that's too high. Fallout 4 is a 6/10 game, and Starfield is waaay worse than Fallout 4.

[rusty_shackleford]

I finished starfield, didn't finish fo4

A high 6 means Starfield is an above good game that can be replayed without shame.

You want to rethink your scale?

[maidenhaver]

Has some decent quests would make it a guilty pleasure, like a 2-4 range.

Because its pozzed and unfinished, I'd give it a 0, but I'm not Todd Howard's alt.

[BENEFACTOR]

Fallout 4 was a perfectly solid game, the Starfield is even better.

hello from the jewish community

i've been enjoying this game so far but I've been noticing and started to get really concerned by the antisemetic rhetoric subtext echoed throughout some of the narratives in this game

here is a quote from the wiki about one of the blatantly evil factions in the game

"The company is demonstrated to have an immense amount of influence over the local authorities, Administrator Benjamin Bayu, and the Freestar Collective allowing them to skirt certain regulations and avoid responsibility for their actions."

keep in mind the current president of Israel is also named Benjamin Netanyahu

is there any mod available currently to remove this aspect of the game? I can't help but feel sick when playing knowing such things exist

masterpiece

[wndrbr]

Pete Hines (marketing guy) leaves Bethesda.

[maidenhaver]

Wonder what its like to be beaten by an isometric rpg after declaring 15 years ago they're outdated, meanwhile your latest game is basically Morrowind with ladders.

[maidenhaver]

Its interesting to me that they keep Todd, but I guess the most charismatic hobbit on the planet can't be fired. Starfield was supposed to be the game he always wanted to make. I remember MK sharing at Temple0 that he and Kurt Kuhlmann even drafted some space pirate stuff that became Redguard. They've all wanted to make a space game for decades, this was supposed to be a masterpiece.
