As a massive Elder Scrolls and Fallout fan, let me say....this game looks ugly as fuck, like...it looks so dated, if you told me it was the last PS3 game, I'd believe you.
That being said, I think people need to factor how great this team is at world building and making RPGs, look....they don't make the best looking games, never have and I don't think they've ever put out a game anyone would consider the best looking of that gen or something, just the opposite, but what they do focus on is making a great open world RPG with NPC's that give a shit.
So...this game being ugly is kinda moot point. We know lol The real attraction with this game is this team's ability to craft an amazing world with great NPC interactions. If you showed this same game and simply said it was another team, I'd have doubts lol (CP2077 folks) Difference here, when Bethesda shows you a city and tells you about what you can do in it, its not a fucking claim, its not just marking BS, its not some lie to sell pre--orders, its not telling you some fucking lore shit "mistaken" to be a feature in the game. I think most of us here are hype because WE KNOW they can do this, its not a claim that you'll do those things in this game, they've already done stuff like this before, so I have no doubts on what they can do and what to expect day 1.
This game goes beyond what i was even imagining. I honestly was just thinking Skyrim/Fallout in space, but the scope of this game is just, fuck me lol.
Game of the generation.
This game is actually exactly what I expected, like almost down to the t exactly lol I expected Fallout in space. You find stations, loot them, go to different cites to go on quest etc. So the loop is what I expected, but its what I think many already felt it might be, but thats not to say they are playing it safe or something, this is a day 1 even without flying the ship and doing those battles, that is where this goes beyond Fallout and Skyrim, the rest is expected classic Bethesda and I think it takes those fans to really SEE what its offering that I think many might not really get 100% at first sight. I see the loop, I see how the quest would play out, the settlement stuff, exploring, collecting loot etc.
So its what I expected, but in a good way. Easy fucking day 1.
I've been gaming since the 70s and Starfield looks like the single most ambitious game of all time.
Incredible.
nah lol I love this team and its a day 1 for me, but I can't say all that. This is a game literally doing not a single new feature in gaming. Its doing a collective of features we've already seen before, using their style. I don't know if thats enough for me to say the most ambitious as nothing here even seems like they couldn't do it some past gen in some form or something. It still seems like its the go to place, do mission, kill boss, get loot, go to quest giver and repeat combo. Nothing wrong with that btw as thats probably why I'm more hype as its a grounded thing I'm looking for vs some claim of "never been done before". So they are keeping theses ideas grounded and with reasonability based on what we've seen done, even last gen.
