I also have like 200-300 hours in Starfield. I was on NG+2, I think, when I stopped playing. The game is the slopiest Bethesda slop that ever slopped. The only good thing is the LEGO spaceship constructor, on which I spent probably the third of my playtime.
The main quest and the faction storylines are worse than in Skyrim and that's saying a lot, because actually playing through Skyrim's quest lines was what made me drop it completely. The world is more nonsensical than in Skyrim, the gameplay is incredibly boring, the characters are insufferable. And on top of all of that it's full of ugly non-whites everywhere.
There is no way in hell that some DLC is going to save Slopfield.

BTW there was a game on steam named S.T.A.R.W.I.E.L.D. A day or 2 ago it was removed from steam. Bethesda is fighting competition.

I used those hours to catch up on podcasts and audiobooks, so it wasn't a total waste of time.

I understand that thumbnails are name of the game in being successful on YouTube but can they at least put more effort in these clickbaity thumbnails being tangentially related to the subject on hand.

I'm increasingly getting tired of looking up something on YouTube (tech tips, usually) and a currynigger voice ends up greeting me.

We need a Third World Tube asap to contain these people.

Of the 80 hours I played, easily 50 were two things:
1) Figuring out how suit and weapon modifiers worked.
2) Figuring out how ship modules worked very badly.

I never even made it to two of the three "cities".
I was disappointed by the tiny, ridiculous settlements on Mars and Titan.

He does the retarded thumbnails as a sort of satire, and because he doesn't give a shit and he finds them amusing.

If you listen to him, he'd be a good fit here. He publicly shits not only on the garbage games, but clowns like "MattyPlays" that shill for the trash.

Ya he just using coomer shit covering the entire thumbnail because it’s a satire and just finds it amusing with it not at all being a obvious cynical ploy in gaming the algorithm to get more views.

Interesting post from Synthetic Man on why he's not going to do a Starfield DLC review...

https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxK16fvs ... woiaePKqtQ

"After reviewing the footage, I'm not going to bother reviewing Starfield: Shattered Space. There's just nothing to work with. 6 hours of the same exact slop I played a year ago. I'll give you a brief review below if you want to hear my thoughts. If you want to see for yourself, I'm going to make the stream archive public for the rest of this week, so you should be able to see it from the "Live" tab on my channel page.

Starfield DLC thoughts: It's $30 for a 6 hour campaign and a handful of side quests and dungeons. What a joke. The story is just awful. It pretends to portray a nuanced view on religion (Va'Ruun is clearly supposed to be a stand-in for Islam, though it also bears some similarities to another Abrahamic religion 😉 ), in reality it comes across as an Atheist Redditor's view of the Middle East. 99% of Va'Ruun's members are "Zealots" AKA the guys you were killing throughout the main game. The dudes you meet here are totally cool though, they just force you to convert to their religion before you can start the main quest and it turns out their former leader was an evil scientist who wanted to use a ghost army to start another holy Crusade and kill all the non-believers.

As you might expect, there's virtually zero player choice in the story. Even at the end, when it looks like you can side with the bad guy, he betrays you five minutes later. Then you get a choice to let him win. Instead of getting a unique bad ending, the game just kills you and loads the last save. Bethesda is so incompetent and lazy it's unreal. There's one last choice in the epilogue where you choose the next leader, which is completely pointless. You do get to piss them off to the point where you're never allowed to return, but they're all essential NPCs so you can't kill them.

The game still runs horribly after a year of patches. There's still no dungeon maps, a feature that was in several of their previous games. The enemies are all bullet sponges. There's still no white men in space, except a couple of your companions. Every named NPC is essential except for a couple of lesbians and their 30 year old "daughter".
The only fun thing in this entire game is the car they added in a free update recently. And even then, the gun attached to the car doesn't scale to your level so it's useless in combat.

Tl;Dr The game is still terrible, and always will be. Don't waste $30 on an expansion that adds nothing of value and only has 10 hours of content max."

That game doesn't look good enough to justify being unoptimized, though. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah, I am more looking forward to Skyblivion and Skywind (if it that ever comes out). Wouldnt be surprised tho if microsoft sends a cease and desist shortly before it releases.
They've already been cleared. They had to follow strict guidelines re: proprietary asset use (mainly VO) but they fall within the TOS as written.
Which shows again how stupid Microsoft let alone Bethesda is, there is zero point in stopping projects like this.They would just make additional cash by having people buy Oblivion/Morrowind cause they are required for this mods to run in the first place.They just prolonged this projects to death by forcing them to remake every single asset
We are talking bethesda which are/were quite salty that Obsidian made a better Fallout than them. They probably are afraid of these more that they will take attention away from their future slop.

The HQ Vault is a very good file host. It's also convenient to use with automatic formatting.
Sure, it takes a couple more clicks, but it doesn't behave inconsistently and it shows up for everybody, unlike the PostImages.
