Is Starfield Worth It?

This Starfield Review aims to answer that and "Is Starfield Good". In this video, I'll go through some observations I've made about the game, how I've felt playing it, touching on some Starfield Bugs and Glitches to Starfield Combat including Gameplay, even slightly discussing Starfield mods and how I've used them. This is Bethesda Game Studios newest full game on the Creation Engine, and it plays a LOT like Fallout 4 should have played. Still, is Starfield enough to keep players busy until The Elder Scrolls 6?

    I’m absolutely loving the game, over 150 hours now, but your criticisms are all spot on. I think when the creation kit for mods comes out this game is gonna get elevated into something great.

    “Sometimes I like okay games” I really felt that one lmao
  • @jess648
    it doesn’t seem too bad till you realize it was the studio’s main focus project for 9 years

    When you leave a companion somewhere they become a mission. Highlight that mission and the blue marker will guide you to them.

    I got it for free with my new 7900X. I'll play around with it for a bit.

    I forgot the reply but because my friends were not talking about Starfield I did not think it would be a good game. Was I right? Yeah, but you can enjoy games that are buggy and have issues. I think the internet makes us all feel bad about liking the things we do. Even before you started to play Starfield I thought it would have the exact problems you pointed out. The lack of mini-map actually made me feel light-headed and dizzy and I wasn't even playing. I STILL struggle with the mini-map so without it, I would have perished.

    Basically my thoughts so far. The most immersioin ive had is right now while im going through NG+. Simply because the story reflects the sense of detachment you feel doing it
  • @tomtwice
    Yeah, Starfield's cool and all, but you didn't say if I can become a stealth archer or not. Also, my hair is now brushed. Thanks for the reminder.

    I upgraded my system to play it. I was using a Ryzen 1600, Vega 56, 16gbs of 2400 DDR4 ram, Samsung 970 2tb m.2 SSD. I got 30 fps on low with FSR. Some areas were like a watercolor painting. Akila city especially. I can run now at a steady 60 at ultra on 1080p. I went to a Ryzen 5600X, RX 6800XT, 32gb of 3200 DDR4 ram, and the same SSD. I use the latest version of Ubuntu LTS. It in my opinion needs improvement and optimization but that happened with Fallout 4 with me and I think AMD users with that release. I just have have a lot of fun about 50 hours in.
  • 1:43 "flying your ship to a planet" or is it fast traveling? I've heard you click a spot and watch a landing cut scene? I'd never pay $70 for a videogame, I'm too old and patient for that. Starfield will be skipped as payback for the shitshow that was Fallout76, and I don't feel like I'm missing much by skipping it.
  • @mrmosty5167
    Have to agree but I bought it so I'm playing it
  • @thebenc1537
    What is the best day 1 gamepass game? The correct answer is none of them, they are always mid.
  • The kill everyone run is the only way to play Starfield. Literally every NPC is obnoxious
