Support NeoGAF

Most casual Bethesda fan

If there were virtual ship sales, this man would have established the Imperial Army. It must be pleasing for his family and loved ones that he will be able to experience this adventure at a reasonable cost with Gamepass.

 

[reinking]

Some of you laughing. How many posts have you made on GAF since the Starfield announcement?

 

[feynoob]

Just to have some fun: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Floppa

That is cute .
I wonder if DeepEnigma gets jealous that I have a new cat to adore.

 

[Starfield]

 

[Dutchy]

I for one find this incredibly scary. This is an unhealthy obsession manifesting itself in fanfic. The amount of people praising this guy for his ''hard work'' just looks like public humiliation to me lol. Getting Senjutsu vibes all over.

 

[dorkimoe]

People never learn smh. Him and the guy who made the one for cyberpunk can start a support group

 

[ReBurn]

Fix the formatting and it probably drops to 300 pages

 

[kraspkibble]

Some people need to get a life. I'm excited for the game but c'mon.

 

[Doom85]

Bruh, at that point, write a proper book about something if you can write that much so casually, because if you get published, hey, that’s some money which is always nice.

This shit though? I mean, it’s your free time, but goddamn. As TDK’s The Joker said, “if you’re good at something, never do it for free.”

 

[killatopak]

No offense to him but seems a bit excessive about something that will be 99% disproven by release.

I understand analyzing things before things come out but not to this extent. Something of this magnitude is reserved for things that have more concrete evidence and proof. Basically the game being released.

I would even entertain it if this ip had previous releases and established lore like Fallout and Elder Scrolls. This however is powered by hopium.

1. He is one of the biggest memes of gaming.

2. It has many chances of flopping.

3. I am not applying criticism on anyone and how they use their time is their problem, not mine. I am just telling my opinion on this, it is surprising for me. Also, it surely can't be just me suddenly realizing that you're on a gaming forum, critiquing other people opinions.

1- you really believe that being a meme among retards in 2023 means that he isn’t a great game designer?

2- who said so? You base your assumptions on Redfall and Fallout 76? Is that it??

3- didn’t even bother reading it, you sound like a bitter fanboy.

 

[Rykan]

That's a lot of work and dedication for something that is essentially just going to be Fallout in Space.

But to each their own, I suppose.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Now he has to edit the 400 pages with CORRECT information.

Also whats the point of this - pretty much speculation and fanfic at this point

 

[BootsLoader]

Is it necessary to insult others for what they enjoy doing in their spare time.

Todd and his teams last 5 games are - Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4.
Starfield is Todd and his teams first new IP in 20 years. Thats why poeple are excited.

The way some poeple act you would think betheda Maryland are terrible devs that make bad games. There wasnt any of this nonsense before Fallout 4;'s relase, or Skyrims. Or before MS bought Bethesda (of course).

Passion for a thing, no matter what it is. As I said earlier, see this like a wikipedia article. Did you even open the doc? You would see that this is not a novel. But yes I can understand that Todd does not help his case. After Fallout 76 we really have to be on our guard with him and Bethesda.

Stuart360 that is why I would be very cautious. Because it’s their first IP in 20 years. Also, Todd has not the best reputation lately.

IAmNotFromDelaware what I say is between serious and joke. Why you think I insulted someone? People are insulted very easily nowadays.

Daneel Elijah exactly that. Why spend so much time from your life for something you are not sure that will end up being a good product. Plus Todd is not really helping as you said.

1. Not essentially but yes, he is a meme for a reason.
2. Yes, I said.
3. I don’t really care.

 

[killatopak]

You guys ready for 400 more pages?

 

[TVexperto]

Fallout in Space? You clearly have no idea

 

[AJUMP23]

Finally the great American novel.

 

[ShinFuYux]

I'm excited for this game but i can't help but notice that there's a lot of hype and expectations for this game within the community. A little too high.. which isn't good because once people realize the truth, it's going to disappoint and not meet a lot of people's expectations.

Very rarely do games meet its expectations.

 

[Rykan]

Fallout in Space? You clearly have no idea

That is exactly what the showcase showed. It's a typical Bethesda roam around game with space combat added.

Bethesda can make one type of game and one type only. All their games are just variations on The Elder Scrolls formula. Their settings and character progression may differ, the essentials remain the same.

i didnt know you can build a spaceship in fallout 4 - thanks!

 

[Gudji]

So has the man updated this shit or what? Expecting 100+ new pages at least.

 

[X-Wing]

Whoever that is they desperately need to get laid.

 

[Diddy X]

He can easily double the pages with the new info.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

For those that want a deep dive into Starfield
He made 120 pages analysis before and added 280 afterwards, now he added a bit more

It goes into detail of everything that has been shown so far

Full analysis here

100 ?

You mean 10 000 with all what we saw, he's going to speculate on EVERY SINGLE DETAILS !

***EDIT***
OH.MY.TODD.
He's doing it: "Arc 3: The 2023 Starfield Direct"

This... "person" should be a case study for hospital psychiatric doctors for an obsession thesis...

 

[damidu]

touch space grass, jeeez

Very rarely do games meet its expectations.

Most people seem hyped to play a Bethesda RPG game with deep customization, space flight, space combat and interstellar exploration.

That…looks like what they’re going to get, given that it’s actually been demonstrated and IGN a saw the systems in place during their hands on.

Has anyone told you they expect the game to do more than this for them?

 

[German Hops]

Awesome work, Starfield !

 

[Rykan]

i didnt know you can build a spaceship in fallout 4 - thanks!

Building outposts is only a small part of Starfield.

Oh, did I say outposts? I meant Spaceships.

 

[lefty1117]

rejected cover for his analysis

 

[March Climber]

Someone here please grab their mic, press record, and start reading it in a tone similar to Vaatividya or something so it can feel like a Starfield lore series. Then upload it to youtube.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Way too much free time...

I wish i had that much free time ):

 

[Sorcerer]

Is he stupid? Why should someone spend so much precious time for a game that may flop? I mean, it’s Todd Howard, are you serious?

If positive word gets out, this guy could land a job writing tech docs for a big corporation I imagine. It's like a resume that was probably a blast for the dude to get together.
Not saying this is his endgame but it's a smart way of showing your capabilties to the world at large.

 

[Hendrick's]

It's a metaphor of what will happen when the game is out. Hundreds of hours will be put into this game and our jobs and relationships will suffer.

I don't think this can go deep like that. A corporation will not hire someone who made a 400 page something for a video game. But who knows, maybe I am wrong.

 

[Zug]

If Bethesda wants to release a finished game this time, they can just follow this guide.
Though it would have been more impressive in LaTeX format.

 

[GymWolf]

Do this post really exist or it's just a glitch in the matrix?

 

[GymWolf]

Fallout in Space? You clearly have no idea

Skyrim in space?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Weaponised autism.

 

[lefty1117]

I'll tell you what though. I do get the enthusiasm. The game is really looking like it's going to be awesome. The more I see of it, the more I'm impressed with it even if it is built on skyrim/fo4 bones (which is a-ok with me tbh)

 

[MrA]

Do you understand what a flop means?

Neogaf flop, translation sells 50 million copies but sucks because nebulous reasons and therefore a flop

 

[hemo memo]

That’s ridiculous. I get being passionate but c’mon.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Way too much free time...

I mean... People probably look at us on Gaf and think the same thing.

 

[64bitmodels]

this is the kind of exaggerated shit you say as hyperbole.... not something you actually fuckin do. I don't normally judge but jeez dude take a break....

 

[peronmls]

Pfff haha. I want to see what this guy looks like… For a friend.

 

[Edgelord79]

Reminiscent of the No Man’s Sky hype and the selling of journals to “write experiences” in.
