[Hollowpoint5557]

Keith David is a national treasure.

 

[Humdinger]

You build ships by hand? That sounds like a lot of work on my part.

 

[Aesius]

Hearing Keith David narrate a space game just makes me want a new and good Mass Effect.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'm still mad that I bought this.

 

[Gonzito]

I'm still mad that I bought this.

Same here. 80 euros I paid for the Ultimate Edition. What a mess

 

[Fbh]

Not a single loading screen in the whole video

 

[Gonzito]

They are trying to make it sounds like this is Mass Effect hiring this actor. They know what they are doing but they won't fool me again

 

[adamsapple]

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Cool dude.

With that said, using real people for ads to shill a game is something that should've stayed long dead.

 

[winjer]

I hope they have new loading screens.

 

[HRK69]

All I can think about is how mediocre and sometimes downright bad this game was, yet they're trying to sell it like some epic space opera lol

 

[StereoVsn]

Unfortunately updates won't help the terrible story, characters or writing.

But hopefully it improves things from technical perspective. They really need to beef up random generators for planets and outposts so folks don't see the same crap every time.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Just tried the free lanes feature a bit and flying around in space feels much cooler now, it will automatically adjust the speed so you don't slam into planets, so if planets are a bit close to each other the speed is a bit slow, but otherwise you're just zipping around with random encounters inserted as well.

 

[Laptop1991]

I've never done it, so i don't know what he is going on about, but i am a little bit hyped for the new additions for a first playthrough.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Tried flying into a sun but that doesn't seem possible, couldn't get closer than ~45 LS; still pretty cool zipping past them though

 

[AJUMP23]

Kieth David is amazing.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Keith David is a national treasure.

A shame Starfield wasn't.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I lost all faith in Bethesda after I played Starfield.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

I will always say this: I thought I was in for an epic journey during that first hour, like Interstellar type stuff, and then nothing ever happened after. Nothing.

 

[bender]

Sorry in advanced to Keith David...

 

[BloodFree]

Sorry in advanced to Keith David...

Why ? Man just got paid. I'm sure he's just dandy.

 

[uncreativename]

I haven't actually played Starfield, ever, but it sounds like it tried to be kindasorta like Freelancer or No Man's Sky or X but doesn't go far enough? I remember liking the graphics in videos of it I saw at the time . Are the story and RPG systems any good?

 

[Soodanim]

Don't be fooled, he's just encouraging white people again.

 

[uncreativename]

Don't be fooled, he's just encouraging white people again.

Can confirm. He's got me thinking about this game that I completely forgot about for years

 

[Tobimacoss]

Awesome trailer and narration.

"Just like the universe, Starfield expanded", perfect way to put it.

 

[SJRB]

We all know what Starfield is:

Dogshit.

 

[semiconscious]

All I can think about is how mediocre and sometimes downright bad this game was, yet they're trying to sell it like some epic space opera lol

over my dozens of hours of it, there'd be glimpses here'n'there of the epic adventure it was supposed to be, but then i'd just keep dropping back into this soulless vanilla 'adventure'. what's weird is, they deliberately went with the 2001 aesthetic, graphically, but it turned out that the writing, & particularly the companions, were just about every bit as sterile as a conversation with h.a.l. was in the movie...

 

[semiconscious]

You build ships by hand? That sounds like a lot of work on my part.

well, yeah, but it's just sorta falling in line with other recent 'build your own adventure' games like tears of the kingdom & crimson desert, where creating vehicles & campgrounds is all part of the fun. supposedly, anyway. i enjoyed metal gear solid 5 (but never replayed it), & i'll likely be giving crimson desert a shot shortly, so we'll see...

 

[zabegan34]

I'm downloading this again on PC with the latest update just to see how much has actually "changed." Honestly, it's a total love-it-or-hate-it game. It's fine for the first 15 hours, but after that, i have basically seen everything... just going to a science facility and seeing the exact same buildings over and over. Even Shattered Space got a worse rating than the main game lol. The game feels way too sterile and safe—perfect for PEGI 12, I guess. But that's still OK, some people might like that.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Hearing Keith David narrate a space game just makes me want a new and good Mass Effect.

This game is nowhere near as good as that trilogy (cast aside the spinoff that was Andromeda)

I have a weird sense of humor. I was just joking. Building a space ship "with your own hands" would be a lot of work.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Starfield aka how the hell did you get the beans above the frank?

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Well I mean how else do you use a controller?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Same here. 80 euros I paid for the Ultimate Edition. What a mess

I got the headphones, the controller, the console wrap AND the GD watch.

Mark ass MARK indeed

 

[semiconscious]

well, thing is, from all i've read up here, i'm thinking that there's a possibility crimson desert might actually feel like a lot of work to me. really disliked tears of the kingdom. just have to see...

 

[dispensergoinup]

I'm still mad that I bought this.

Same dude, same.

TBH the best thing I got related to this game was the PC/Xbox controller.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I'm still mad that I bought this.

I can't really get mad just yet. I did put it down after a few hours, but I also did that with CP2077. Now, I have like 300 or so hours in that. I think I will like it, but it will fall short of what I expect. I anticipate that.

I wish I was at least half as optimistic as your are my man.

 

[ramuh]

Everytime I hear this dude i get transported to that scene in Requiem for a Dream.

"I know its pretty baby, but I didn't take it out for air"

 

[Polaris]

I can't believe Bethesda dragged Keith David into this pablum.

 

[Atrus]

Starfield ads always try to sell you a completely different game, as if this was some epic space RPG when it's a bland story bolted onto an aged game engine.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Fuck.

Am I gonna double dip and get the PS5 port and then triple dip and get the Switch 2 port down the road.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I wish I was at least half as optimistic as your are my man.

Part of it, is me wanting to put it through my 5090.
I also want to see some of the stuff they showed in gameplay slices and such.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Why would I play Starfield when Mass Effect exists?

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I'm still mad that I bought this.

I'm still mad I tried it for free on GamePass.

 

[Durin]

Keith David voice + trailer cutting out all the tedium isn't gonna work.

Any hope this game had of coming back rested on it pulling off No Man's Sky's massive overhauls to its procedural systems that made the universe feel more alive, and enough to put up with the remaining jank. So far it's been pretty meh.

Comments on the video are just people liking Keith David, and remembering Mass Effect.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Why would I play Starfield when Mass Effect exists?

I want to play through the Legendary trilogy, but, damn... I don't feel like modding the shit they censored or removed. I feel I might end up doing it at some point, this year, however.
Fixing the graphics was the main reason why I modded the originals and they were a fucking pain in deepest part of the asshole to mod. I guess that is why I am so hesitant. It took me a day and reinstalling the original trilogy, dozens of times to get things right.

Did they change a lot of things for the Legendary Edition? Why? There's nothing offensive in any of those games .

Keith David could sell ice to eskimos.

I'm in.
