Starfield: Standard Edition - Xbox Series X

Best game ever. Also, buggiest game ever. Enjoy this time suck.

Note: I played from early access day one via the Premium Edition on Xbox Series X. Photos attached were captured on the Series X. This game is a masterpiece. I have been with Bethesda since Skyrim, gone back and played their oldies, and I have to say this is their best game ever. Let me give you the positives. - Best Bethesda main story. The story had me, I cried at one point even. It is full of mystery, intrigue, great characters, and many fun twists and turns. It wears classic sci-fi inspiration on its sleeve which I love. It has elements of Bladerunner, Alien, 2001 A Space Odyssey and more. The ending is incredible and honestly heady. - Amazing combat. ID (Doom Eternal) and Machine games (Wolfenstein helped with the combat and you can tell it is polished and feels good. The reload animations are awesome, the weapons feel weighty and unique. Hundreds of customization options are available. You can customize and mod each part of a weapon. Also the way that enemies react to being shot is very realistic. They stumble, blood sprays, and the way they fall and slump over after dying shows off the game's impressive physics system. - Amazing faction quests. There are a lot of factions in this game. There are the big main factions like the Vanguard and the Crimson Fleet but you can also find smaller one's with shorter quest lines. For instance I joined a gang! The main faction quest lines are long, well written, and packed with good content. - Deep side quests with lot's of choice and consequence and great writing. every side quest I have done has been a blast. - RPG mechanics: Bethesda returns to form here, this is the deepest their RPG systems have been since Oblivion. My character perks and background traits have come up in nearly every mission side and main. I have yet to stumble into even a side quest that didn't give me a dialogue option that let's me flex my background. - The persuasion and lockpicking mini games are amazing. Most quests have multiple persuasion checks for those who like to talk their way through a mission. - Performance is great. Stable 30FPS. Obviously I wish it were 60 but after seeing just how ambitious this game is and all the systems it has, it makes sense why that decision was made. - Writing: this is the best written BGS game ever. Clever, funny, emotional, and at times philosophical. - Characters: Great characters especially the constellation members. All memorable, they have fun personal questlines that flesh them out really well. - Locations: Talking specifically about the cities, I beat the game after 35 hours and I am still discovering new entire cities on different planets that I did not know existed. My favorite city is Neon. Each feels lived in and unique. They are massive and packed with content! - Ships: The ship combat is hard but very fun and very rewarding. Nothing beats disabling a ship's engine, boarding it, killing the grew in zero gravity then stealing the ship and selling it. The ship building is DEEP. I have spent hours just in that menu building new ships, making room for more crew that I can hire, and upping my weapon systems. The space combat is also very deep as you have to in real time divert power to various systems such as shields, engine, or weapons to maintain smart movement, defense, or offense. Really well done. - NG+ is brilliant. That is all I will say. - Procedural content. Completely optional but a ton of fun. I have yet to see the same thing twice. Each planet has so much to offer and the procedural dungeons so far have all been cool and unique. There is so much handcrafted content however, you will be 70+ hours in before you even would need to think about touching the procedural world's if they are not your thing. - Base building: Far better than fallout 4, I actually love it in this game (did not in fallout). It is easier and helps you with resources and storage, also gives you a place to put companions you find and recruit. - Impressive systems: Here is an example, each planet and each system in real time moves like real planets. If you sit on a moon for 5 hours and watch the sky you will be able to watch in real time your moon rotate around a planet and that planet rotate around the it's sun. This means that each of the 1,000 planets have their own day night cycle and own planetary time. You can see that planet's unique time/day night cycle when you go to wait or sleep on a planet. As it is contrasted against a Universal or standard time that is galaxy wide. I remember when I was blown away by Forza having a seasonal cycle, but this game literally has full unique day night cycles for each individual planet and moon. Another system that blew me away are the physics and object permanence. I have collected so many stuffed animals and laid them all over my ship. They just stay. I saw someone stored 2,000 potatoes on their ship and they move and stack like real potatoes. If you kill someone on a planet, leave and come back their body will be there. It is insane, I do not understand on a gameplay design level how Bethesda did this. It is SO immersive. This game is for real groundbreaking. This game is a masterpiece. There is nothing like it. Nothing as deep, and nothing that offers this much rich content. Do not miss this game!

I have loved Bethesda games for 20+ years now. This game is the open world to top all open worlds. If you love the endless exploration that comes with the freedom to do what you want in a video game this is it. I am still adjusting to the controls- for the most part similar to other Bethesda titles. I personally struggle battling with and driving the ship but I should get better with more use. What I love about the game is learning the new storyline and the infinite feeling of vastness. Some people have complained about that in one way or the other but there always be some who always find something to gripe about. As a passionate Bethesda loyalist, I love it and will be busy with this for the next few years… at least until Elder scrolls 6.

Starfield is bethesda's latest game in the action RPG genre. It strays from the typical post apocalyptic setting the Fallout games follow. But it looks and feels like you are playing a fallout game just the space version. Pros: 1. The gameplay is great when it comes to fighting and maneuverability. 2. The graphics are a slight upgrade to Fallout 76 but would not say it pushes the XBOX Series X to its full capabilities. 3. The story is pretty good with some nice paths for replay-ability. 4. Weapons are unique and can be customized and have different class types with Legendary the best as usual. 5. The Ship modification/building is really awesome. 6. Jetpacks for the player with different modifications. 7. Many planets to discover and visit. 8. Some really cool looking spacesuits with full helmets. 9. Many different lifeforms to discover and farm on the games huge amounts of discoverable planets. Cons: 1. The typical weight system found in most Bethesda games is really bad in this one, it’s rare to not be over encumbered. 2. Which further makes point #1 a burden is the super limited good storage options, gone are the unlimited storage containers (aside from a handful) replaced by containers that can hold less weight than you can carry, and your ship which you would think could hold a ton of things, most of them you are lucky can carry double your carry weight. 3. Ship registration, while hijacking and stealing ships is great fun the registration process is not which serves no real purpose aside from taxing the player 4. Game bugs installing the game straight from the disc is basically broken and riddled with even some game breaking bugs that can stop progression. You must install hefty patches to get it to an acceptable state. 5. Ship Traveling becomes very repetitive and can be get old really fast. 6. Ship battles while cool can jump in difficulty very fast forcing you to spend points in that area of the game early. Overall: Nice addition to the standard look and feel of a bethesda game if you enjoy their fallout games you should enjoy this.

Interesting game I recommend it

This game is absolutely great. Is it perfect? No. Are there too many menus? Perhaps. But it's fun enough to where it doesn't matter. The quests are really great for the most part, but I do feel like a lot of the main ones follow a very cookie cutter pattern. But the story is still good nonetheless. The dialogue is wonderful and is extremely well voice acted. The gameplay is awesome, but I do feel the boost pack is slightly underwhelming. The game has its flaws, but it's honestly not a big deal. I would absolutely say this is Bethesda's best game hands down. Skyrim is great, but this is one step above in my opinion. Really REALLY fun, and after 45 hours, I feel like I barely have scratched the surface.

I love this game, it's one of my favorites

Maybe I'm just getting old, but this game is unnecessarily complicated imo. But simultaneously, it also seems like the game is only half done. The ammo options are overwhelming, the ship building screen is incredibly non user friendly. Even with utilizing Google I'm like 50/50 with doing successful modifications. Outposts are tough to build. I loved skyrim and fo4. This game feels sloppier than both. *** ****potential spoilers ahead***** *** Why aren't there local maps on the planets/moons? Huge miss. Why can't the mantis lair be an outpost? What wasted potential. Why are there so many companion options but you can only romance 4 dusty people from constellation? Why is it that on two seperate sneak missions, despite staying "hidden" I have been approached by security demanding a payoff. They literally come out of nowhere, and I've replayed these two incidents knowing where they appeared to make triple sure. And it happens every time. What's the point? I dont really understand the crew, which this is probably more my fault. I got a bigger ship, so I went and hired another crew member but turns out you can only have two? So im out here wasting money. There's almost no mods you can do without having Hemet mod 1 starsuit mod 1 etc. Which I still don't have enough points to unlock all of even the level 1 of these. Also you can build all of these resources for mods. But there's no indication of what they're used for. I'm sure it comes with the upgrades, but why can I build all of those things essentially at level 1 then? I haven't finished the game, not even close. But so far it's just missing the mark for me. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and continue, but I'm really hoping this

人を選ぶけど、面白いゲームです。 地上はほぼ徒歩移動なので注意です。 (アプデで車両が追加予定) バグはあったりなかったりします。

ベセスダさんありがとう

夢のようなゲームをありがとう、ベセスダ。

STEAM版を当初購入しました。 最初の都市までは何とかPCも正常に稼働してましたが ソフトが度々クラッシュしてプレイが出来なくなりました。。 どうしてもプレイしたく、本品を購入しまた。 記載はありませんがゲーム内で言語を「日本語」選択できます！ 画質も個人的にはOKです。 FPS？30とかありますが全く気になりません。 元々、STAWARSが好きなのでこういった宇宙モノに嵌ってます。 1点、MODが導入できないのは難点ですが仕方ないですね。。

細々したタスク ミッションの不具合 アイテムロスト キャストがクルーリストから消え 呼び出せない 諸々の船の着陸ポイントは常に約４００くらい離れている 売却予定の…所持している船が複数消える等々 これで最新アップデートですか……（１２月 ２０） 等々…… これ買うより コンビニ行ってgamepass登録しましょう
