Starfield: Shattered Space is the first major expansion pack for the action role-playing video game Starfield, developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The expansion was announced during the Starfield Direct event on June 11, 2023. It was awful.

They need a new writing team. They’re so bland, uninspired, and playing it as safe as possible.

"Soak in both of the colors Bethesda used. "

I chuckled so hard that my headset nearly fell off.

gods i hate how in bethesda games you become the leader of every fucking faction within like 4 quests.

[prauwnsauce]

Let us not forget the lever action released in the Far Harbor DLC of Fallout 4 still has a broken reload TO THIS DAY.

I just want to remind everyone that Todd Howard went on the Lex Friedman podcast and was asked what the best Bethesda quest is and Todd's response was "fetch quests". Yes, as in, "find me 5 heads of lettuce." His reasoning was because fetch quests give you so much player freedom. It really explains the change in quality of the quests from Morrowind to Starfield.

Microsoft buying Bethesda Game Studios, and Activision were the perfect matches. Mismanagement, lies, and continues to disappoint.

[danang]

after all this time, he's still telling sweet little lies, and somehow people keep believing him

[bridgetteryan]

I'd say the biggest thing they need to scrap is their writing team... And number one on that should be Emil

My only experience with Starfield in 2024 was the fact that no matter how many times I uninstalled it from my PC, it would be mysteriously reinstalled after a few days. It has taken me the better part of a year to finally get rid of it. Thank you Todd, very cool!

[kyler]

I don't understand how people can sit there and just take in the dialogue in this game and be okay with it

[Tetsaga]

Damn dude; "I can't help but feel that the hands that crafted this expansion were missing a couple fingers, while those that remained were riddled with arthritis."

Brutalized them.

[joe]

Bethesda dude at 17:30 is so delusional. Even their most loved games were always heavily criticized for the engine, bugs, graphics, writing, etc. They chose time and again to ignore those constructive complaints.

[annihilatorx]

Funny thing about zero G combat, Dead Space 2 had zero G combat sections where you flew around and shot your blaster. It was also fun. Amazing how far back we've gone.

With the Microsoft buyout and all the valuable IP Bethesda owns, it's extremely unlikely they will ever go bankrupt. The worst case scenario is they galvanize themselves against criticism, continue to fall behind the technical standards of the rest of the industry, and slowly atrophy until the brands they manage lose too much value and Microsoft reshuffles their studios.

[Willcollective]

As well for dialogue: not only is it slow, but it always feels like everyone says what they’re saying twice, and you always know everything theyre going to say in 4-6 lines by the first line

[linhza]

At this point you cant convince me Baldurs Gate 3 and Starfield came out in the same year. Felt like BG3 was a generation ahead of Starfield in almost every category.

[davecolumbo]

Five seconds into the DLC the first line of dialogue is an NPC shouting to another " save yourself, you have to get away from me!" and then immediately she's like "It's pointless, we share the same fate" and I was like "Okay so just like the rest of the game they didn't take a second pass to make sure the writing doesn't immediately contradict itself. Got it." and turned it off.

"6 times the loading screens, 16 times the recycled assets, all of this just works" Todd the hack.

[yeetmcskeet]

Did they ever stop to think people play old games still bc those are the only games worth playing
