Comfy space adventures. Imagine the space ship mods, millenium falcon, firefly etc.

The simple fact that it's a Bethesda RPG with an addicting gameplay loop. I got a few lol reactions when I said it the other day, but I REALLY love their RPGs.

I spent dozens of hours exploring all corners of each planet in mass effect.
I expect I will spend hundreds of hours exploring all the corners of each planet in Starfield.

Just the gunplay and scale really. Looks like combat might actually be enjoyable.

By the looks of it, the core game will probably be similar to other RPGs (especially Bethesda ones). At least that's what I'm guessing. Explore, kill baddies, fetch quests, clear out a moon outpost etc.... I highly doubt the 1000 planets will all be worth checking out unless they implement awesome random map environments or hand curated content.
You never know. 500 planets may be literally one cave or outpost to explore. So instead of FO or ES games where there's 200 locations to explore on a map, Starfield has 1000 locations spread out across 1000 planets. Who knows. You might be spending time space traveling to one planet to kill aliens, then 15 minutes later zoom to another planet to fetch a moon rock, then 15 minutes later go to another planet to check the humidity on a Star Trek tricorder. That may literally be 3 planets.
The biggest points I saw were base building, spaceship construction and outer space dog fights. I'm not into space games, so to me these are new kinds of gameplay.

What's the point of this comment? Why do you feel the need to be so negative on a thread that's supposed to talk about the positive aspects of the game. What do you gain from this?

NeoGAF will have 1000 Starfield threads to explore by the time the game releases!

I honestly didn't expect the spaceship fights and ship customization.
I'm a Skyrim & Fallout whore who's painfully aware of Bethesda's shortcomings and false promises but I'll be there Day one.
Like your girlfriend you just caught cheating on you for the 5th time and you just say " Ah SHIT baby WHY? Goddammit I still love you".

Not worried about that personally. I've never even played vanilla Skyrim, nor vanilla F4. The modding community will turn this into a legendary game if it isn't one already.

The immersive feeling of being set free in the Bethesda TM open world RPG world. Seriously, I really like The Outer Worlds but that didn't quite scratch the same itch.
Land on a planet, trudge over to something on the horizon, find some seemingly abandoned landmark, explore it and experience a cool little story while getting resources and exp. I really really really hope this game gives off that same feeling as their TES and FO games.

I honestly am against space games most of the time, they're usually bloated and boring.
BUT for starfield specifically, im excited for the ship building, having crewmates and building your own base. It would be nice if there was co-op added to the game given its scale but i know that's not realistic?
Having a ton of planets is pretty boring over time, im still on the side that they should have had less

Why, do old fucks have crystal balls? I've heard they're long and gross, but they can see the future?You gotta be really young and not have been through all this shit before....numerous times
Please tell me that you are !
Here's the thing. you don't have any clue what systems are in place in this game whatsoever...
Elder Scrolls Online and No Mans Sky both have procedurally generated content, both have hundreds if not thousands of hours of game to enjoy, and are loved and played by millions of people. I'm simply hoping that precedent extends to Starfield.
So, please tell me, oh wise one, how juvenile must one be to not think that's a possibility?

The ability to switch from 1st to 3rd person is pretty nice. Seems like there's a lot to do.
Lots of jank during the reveal. I hope they don't put a proper 2023 release date without making sure it's 100%. Otherwise it will be one of the biggest fails next year.

I don't think it's confirmed, but that would be a HUGE letdown if there was not seamless travel from space to the planet. Didn't Outer Wilds do that? And that's an indie game. No reason we should be seeing loading screens for a AAAA game like Starfield.

I know everybody likes to kill Todd all the time with the tell me lies vids and whatnot, but in reality he's just a squeaky-voiced manlet beholden to his corporate overlords. He's guilty only of the same foolishness the rest of his team indulges in...outlandish gushing about cool-sounding features that they imagine can be implemented in their games, but then it turns out they can't be (or are implemented in a much more limited and disappointing fashion, like Radiant AI), because as developers they're too incompetent to bring their ideas from the drawing board to people's computer screens. I genuinely believe they don't mean to deceive people. They just plain suck.

Oh man, poor CEOs have to bullshit all the time. Why can't a ceo shit on the table, smear it with his slippers and say: bon appetit.
And? You gonna visit all of them and perform fellatio on the aliens?The scale. 1,000 planets across 100 systems.

Who is going to feel your cats during that time?
Joking aside I just wanted more Mass Effect and it looks like we got it times 1000 here.
I just want to explore and fuck up or fix planets full of all sorts of bullshit.
Imagine letting an NPC live and then after you leave he goes full Hitler on the planet, you think you do something good....

I'm really looking forward to installing, customizing my character and hyping myself up to a point, where I'm absolutely confident that "this" will be the time, where I actually make it through a large ass RPG game that isn't Mass Effect. It won't.
I will play the shit of out it and quit it after 20 hours or so.
