Had a guy in a fb Starfield group post these. Take it as a grain of salt though.

Hmm seems to be pretty heavy on the life sim aspects. And I honestly don't give a shit about romance options in games, I hope I can avoid those completely. Also hope that there isn't some forced settlement building shit like they had in Fallout 4. That brought the whole game down for me.

The 4chan "spoiler-free story explanation" seems like a mix of Interstellar, Expanse, Space Odyssey, etc. It all sounds intriguing. Let's see how they execute on their vision.

What does that mean? Like it is an older build?
Because the trees look like the textures are still being loaded or are of extremely low texture quality. Could be the lowest graphical settings uploaded by the OP?

Seeing some potential for boring ass grinding there.
Mining around with a laser gun? Fun for 30 mins and I'm pretty sure Bethesda is going to force you to do that for while to gather resources. Basebuilding will also probably be forced down your throat at some point. Pothographic safari side-missions the same. Also the "find the aliens that will give you new Jedi powers". And only you can "talk" with the alien artifacts; seen that before in Mass Effect, so no wow effect there, just another "you're the chosen one" story frame. Relationships with companions is good, although it took Bethesda 20 years to do so, at least to the level Starfield seems to be doing it. Better late than never, I guess. Hope they're well done, but Beth never seemed to care much for that, so I doubt it will more than the typical "do my mission and get laid" type. Happy to be proven wrong.
Will buy at some point, given that there's so few space-based RPGs, but I'm not super impressed so far. The game will be good, but I'm unfortunately not hyped at the moment. Really want the reviews, impressions, and footage to start coming in.

Bethesda games were always heavy on simulation. City dwellers go about daily lives, a dragon can attack, riots can break out, you can dupe them, disturb their daily routine etc....
Once you add too many scripts to their behaviour, it starts getting into simulation category.
Most fun part is pushing limits of AI and see what stuff you can pull off. Or just observing how simulation reacts to stuff you introduce.

Hopefully you can ignore most of the RDR2 type stuff.

eh, i think you just aren't looking at the correct western devs. And bethesda definitely isn't one of them, as their games are peak goofy fun and systems exploitage.

What the hell is that camera shaking? I almost threw up just by watching this. Hope there's an option.

I realy hope this is series s or something.
Character model (face) looks terrible.
The UI also looks bland.
i realy hope the story and gameplay make up for these things.

I'll just say it again, but many of these life sim aspects are only fun in an online environment or at least in co-op mode. Building bases alone with NPCs is not really fun or immersive. I hope to avoid these aspects in a single player game as well.

Yikes. I don't like either. But not a good start.
That's kind of interesting.
Good thing if the voice acting is decent and the character models aren't garbage.
Ok...
Again, depends on the implementation.
Not really that interesting on it's own...
That's important. I'll have to watch let's plays to get a feel for them.
Ok. I'm probably not going to play this. I loath comfy games.
Ok...

That's RPGish.
I would hope so.

What an idiot
Looks a lot like Alien Isolation and Mass Effect start screen. Both of my favorite games of all time.
Also, Skyrim start screen is just as simple, if not more
Edit: Just read his other tweets. Dude wants some attention pretty badly.

I don't get the stuff with the artifacts. Are they human or alien artifacts?

Amazing. Also amazing that a professional writer had to look up the word ‘physiognomy.’ 2023.

We became lost as a people when we turned our backs on iD's mega textures. We had a better future in the palm of our hands and we fumbled it.

Start Screen looks simple, clean and effective to me.
I agree in that it's very similar to Alien Isolation or even Metroid Dread.
Sometimes less is more.

Mark Kern is just trying to generate controversy for a X
He’s playing with fire though because Tassi is the type of person to remind everyone what a scumbag he is:

Yea there’s no real leaks. No one got it from a mom and pop shop? No loose copies falling off delivery trucks? No one sneak a copy from a cd distribution plant? I’m disappointed by all this.

The game is truly spacetaking, i've been playing it over the past kalpa, you can clearly see Elon Musk genious touch all over the game for sure ever since he did that collab with Bethesda,
The most impressive of all is that the game is completely bug free, expect on Terminus and Ageolda where the inhabitants ask you to kill some for them,
I think it might have some extra positive chance points of winning GOTY 2023 over Diablo IV
Here is my character below, i put 16 times the amount of care making him than i did on Fallout 4, i think the looks breathtaking:

Your obsession with Musk is pathetic, quite frankly. Just a month ago you were claiming everyone moved to Threads and only bots were still using Twitter lmao
K. Doesn't change the fact that Forbes Contributor is a joke to everyone familiar with gaming.

Screenshots you can hear.
Bet you $20 this game flops. I'll even suck a hobo's dick if this game goes on to be iconic. That title screen is all I need to know it ain't shit.

Yeah idk why everyone is flipping out. A game of this magnitude is always going to be heavily scrutinized I guess

Hot Take: It's closer to Skyrim and Fallout than RD2.

This life Sim talk has me bummed. Guess I'll wait to buy and see how it turns out. I got bored fast with RD2.

Just activated the game on steam. Got the keys from greenmangaming.
RDR2 was great except for the molasses controls and time consuming animations.
I don't think we will have that issue here. Or at least it didn't appear that way in any footage I've seen.

There is more and more feedback coming out from people playing the game about how good it is.
