>what happened
Game was even more shit than Fallout 4, somehow. Now I'd rather play Saarfield for ten hours than F4 for ten hours because the former doesn't shit on an IP I used to be fond of, but the point remains the game's empty and playing it feels like homework. You can launch vanilla Skyrim right now, do no quests and just explore the world from Hold to Hold, all the little details, waterfalls, burial grounds, lush forests, hot springs, mysterious dwemer ruins, etc.
Starfield has rocks. Lots and lots of procedurally generated rocks.

No mods? Someone just turned the game into Star Wars.

Poor writing, empty worlds, too many loading screens making space travel tedious.

My biggest issue is how naive and one dimensional the setting is. Some content feels like it's written by 12 year old.

The only sane, intelligent decision Bethesda/Todd can make is selling their IPs, and even one of the Fallout London devs said so in an interview. But if they were intelligent to begin with their games would not be terrible. Reminder this is someone in charge and employed in modern Bethesda.

It's pretty obvious they were very aware that they had a stinker on their hands during development. That's why there was very little marketing. Todd outright admitted that the game wasn't fun to play at all a year before the release date.
They likely commissioned Oblivion Remastered before Starfield even dropped because they knew they would need something to soften the blow.I just wish this experience actually humbled them to try harder. Though realistically what Bethesda needs the most is to get rid of all these talent-less retards they've collected overt the years, especially Emil.

I'll never forgive India for this. the entire game was contracted out to 3rd world studios that promised the world but barely delivered and todd was somehow okay with it. the coolest part of the game, ship building, requires multiple mods to be fun. howevver theres a big star wars mod for the game that is supposedly really fun.

Just give up on it and put your faith in The Expanse Osiris reborn. That is the game that´s going to be everything Starfield and Cyberpunk failed to be. How do i know it? Easy. CDPR and Todd got complaisant, they´ve grown too big and hubris got them. They thought they could get away with slop just because of who they are, meanwhile Owlcat is known for very little and only to CRPG fans, they hunger for their big break, they actually need their game to be good so they´ll at least try.They are Rocky on his first movie and CDPR and Bethesda and Bioware are Apollo Creed.

Does anyone here have the images a crazy Italian and or indian man wss spamming on /v/ about 4 years ago. They were usually about attacking new vegas, the outer worlds and saying that fallout 3 is the greatest game and starfield will be the greatest game with Tom nook demanding you repay your loan?

Reasons it flopped, hard:1. Reliance on outsourcing, a lot of the assets and level designs in the game are made by third-party studios. Result is lack of communication and lack of creativity.2. Poor marketing and shit communication, advertising open world/exploration and then giving people load screen simulator as if its Skyrim in 2011 led to a lot of people being pissed off.3. Engine is shit, animations are shit, character models are low effort, just walk around Atlantis and look at NPCs.4. Insecure and boring storyline that didn't make any sense. We wanted a space game not a fucking ''fetch these 46262 artefacts and then fight some alien dudes and then fuck off story is done'' game.5. Non memorable fights, melee weapons are boring, ballistic weapons are basic, laser weapons are meh, and above all there is a blatant lack of bullet drop physics and impact physics on the NPCs when you attack them. This shows how little work was done actually developing the game.6. Lack of romance options.7. Wasted opportunities, for example NEON was touted as a space vegas full of intrigues and degeneracy and when you get there its just a normal town, a corporation quest line, some shit overpriced housing, lack of side quests or exploration opportunities, and the main night club feels like a snooze fest. Instead of giving us an interesting city to explore we got a rehash of different assets making up NEON and boring quest lines you forget about within 10 minutes. For comparison even Naar Shaddaa in SWTOR was designed better and had more of a degenerate cesspool city vibe than NEON and the game is from 2011.8. DLCs not trying to fix anything, just milking the community even more. Cyberpunk became a master piece through updates and the Phantom Liberty DLC added a lot of things and fixes making the game enjoyable. Bethesda didn't even bother addressing the issues and just tried to milk people one last time before moving on.

>Add Starwars to Sarfield
>it's good suddenly
Caveat by good I mean slightly improved mechanically over fallout4 for those that slop that way but the setting not being "cassette people of walmart" is such a glaring improvement on all areas of the game. Even in mostly untouched parts like shittered space that have now been turned off pending a full rewrite, the player framing of "sith" and starwars turns all their emil cartoon villain antics from unplayable shit into a tolerably ok SWTOR mmo filler quest. And rewritten to the same quality as the main quest rework will actually not suck.Starfield 95% fails because of the writing and this labor of autism proves it. Literally just fire Emil and let kirkbride appoint some chud successor as your new narrative head. And fire everyone that thinks they didn't make a dystopia far more grim and soul crushing than the world of cyberpunk.
>the remaining 5% the mod also fixes by uncucking your jetpack and having more than 3 premade locations to visit

I just got done playing through the Horizon games and it fucking staggers me how it shows how unimaginative Bethesda are. Not only are they far more compelling with their post apocalyptic setting (even getting the tribal stuff from Fallout 2 right where Bethesda just gave up on it), they did a better sci-fi story within the "limitation" of a sci-fi with no aliens. Nevermind the gameplay, I just mean the creative choices. Bethesda could have done anything and they chose to do whatever would be the most boring, uninteresting ass.

If it was a space game with some NMS and/or Kerbal in its DNA instead of menus and loading screens, the empty rocks wouldn't have been as bad. The repetitive enemy bases would still have been bad though.Also if the writing for the main quest and companion characters had been better.

>make whole game out of modular tileset
>game runs like shit because said modular tileset is more performance intensive than baking 1 asset for 1 structure, but is integral to variants and procgen... right?
>assemble said modular tileset into 1 of... 1 structures that to this day you'll visit back to back planet jumping and originally would spawn in the same cellDaggerfall's tens of thousands of locations were made with rules based procedural generation for structures and map layouts, yet 30 years later the top minds behind sarfield jut plop 1 of 27 buildings down and calls it an infinite kinofield to explore. While they should be giving us planet sized cities with exploration of procgen combinations as it's draw, the bare minimum was rules based generation of unique dungeons every time you saw [science outpost]. 5^6, 6 rooms with 5 options per room would be over 15,000 layout variants alone. And that's a level of complexity rudimentary in the daggerfall days.
