There’s quite a lot to talk about with Starfield today! For starters, Bethesda just released a sizeable patch for Starfield. Is it what fans have been looking for? We also get into an interesting console mods related announcement by Bethesda and its peculiar timing. Furthermore, Starfield is now mixed on Steam and Skyrim has more players on Steam. What does all of this mean? Well, that’s what I’m here to do, so let’s pull it all together and chat about the latest in Starfield.

Hello. You think the alleged 250 people working on Starfield are working on patches or improvements? Many of which fans without a dev bible or tools released within, in some cases, hours? No. They're working on ways to get more money. If, in the process of doing so, issues or QOL features are addressed, all the better. They can sell it. Hope about releasing content already within the game? Awesome! C'mon. Apologists are just the worst.
The foundation you're speculating on should have been wholly planned out prior to development and laid out. Oh, you know, like the skill trees, challenges and achievements – and so many other elements – that seem tacked on at the last second as the game was being rolled out the door. It's inexcusable.

I just wish I could run the game at a stable 60fps on pc. Even with dlss it constantly stutters and drops frames. I sadly had to uninstall and I’ll come back to it if they eventually address the major issues.
The people voting "for Starfield and getting a "mixed" result are just a bunch of entitled kids.
Bethesda showed us what the had before the game launched and all the YT kiddies hyped the game to the moon ( no pun intended ).
Bethesda themselves never kid.
Its sittting in top 10 on xbox cuz bg3 isnt out yet for xbox
goddamn creation club, I was hoping Bethesda wouldn't bring that garbage to Starfield. F paid mods.
Never understood why creators who have been in the scene for years, feel a need to clickbait every title.
I think when they are very reluctant to give us an actual fallout or elder scrolls sequel and choose to do something completely different, it doesn’t sit too well anyway. But they kinda built this 8 year long pressure and didn’t hit the mark it feels like it hits harder. I certainly fell for the Todd Howard salesman pitch from that long trailer. But I think mixed is very fair. While it does some good stuff, like the UC vanguard terramorph quest, it sure has a lot of big misses. It feels like one guy’s passion project with a triple A budget, it doesn’t feel like a cohesive experience like the past Bethesda games to me.
If console mods give me a patch that stops starfield crashing or gives me an actual quest marker for any quest that would be a huge step in making the game playable.
Still waiting on the update for series x that fixes the damn crashing that I get almost every hour. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the the game saving. It runs fine on my PC oddly enough. But for the 1% of us on series x with this issue, it sucks man. I just want to play it on my couch.
I think we can agree that starfield after launch is not as exciting as Fallout 4 especially when it comes to this channel.
Most of the points you lay out about Starfield's improvements are all true and valid. I think the issue is there's too much randomly generated content, too much breadth not enough depth. Also for the things improved, colony building is definitely not improved over settlement building, quite the opposite. Much of it though is people just expecting more, especially with what other companies like Larian and CdProject red are out there doing. Who knows yet what Starfield might be like after a few expansions and patches though. Maybe like Cyberpunk it will improve with time.
I’m playing this on a digital Xbox xs and it constantly crashes and sometimes I can’t use the workstation to craft items. I like the game because I don’t play Xbox at all so it’s different to me but it does need some fixes.
Vehicles need to be added
Biggest update yet and it's……… you can eat snacks lol. All the problems with this game and that's what they focus on 🤣🤣🤣
Game is mid. It earned that 7/10. Went back to BG3 and Skyrim after a couple of weeks.
I haven't been on this channel in 5 years and you look like some kinda grown ass man now lol
Bethesda – get us a fuc..g vehicle of some sort to traverse the land.. don’t sell your updates for shit that should’ve been there in the first place. It’s a fact the game was released half baked.
Just pick up no man's sky it scratches that itch starfield leaves
I might buy it in like 5 years when it's got all dlc and updates and is on sale for like 30 bucks. 70 bucks for this mid of a game with so many issues and loading screens is just discgraceful.
Nothing – because I’m on console and no updates available
Nothing – because I’m on console and no updates available
We'll see if the first big update (not this small update lmao) and Expansion next year will fix the game's problem and make a bunch of improvements that people want. The game has potential to improve, but it will be up to Bethesda if they want to put the effort into it.
The reason they don’t talk is because they drop their game then wait to see what the modding community does to show them what we want. You know these guys are playing with Nexus mods lmao
I waited for dlss and it was worth it.
I’m so freaking sick of your coverage of this game. There are so many problems with this game from the ground up and you just breeze over them and say that a mixed review is really harsh. I know you want to stay in Bethesda’s good graces so you continue to get early copies and such things but it’s embarrassing. Do better. Btw this is coming from someone who shilled out 350 dollars for the collectors edition so don’t try to call me a Bethesda hater or PS5 fanboy
Some player count aggregators have Starfield at number 7 right now as far as highest player count right now.
If they are working on better travel/exploration system, they should wait to put out survival until that’s finished.
I have a ship that can take me light years in a few seconds, but I always land 1000 meters from my target?
Starfield is average at best. Skyrim is great at best. The number of players makes sense to me.
Dead game.
Runs poorly, terrible character engagement, biggest update!. This is done. Starfield is purely a waste of time.
I feel like a big reason Skyrim has such a crazy mod scene is because of the love people have for the game. Even without mods people dump their lives into it and still come back to it. I dont think Starfield has the love or passion and it will need massive overhauls from Bethesda to make it that way.
Everyone shut up I just saw Nicholas cage, I like starfield but I won't defend it
What I don’t get is, if Bethesda made only the areas that are relevant and dropped procedural generation. The game would be so much smaller but everyone wouldn’t be all bitchy about it. This happens too much, nice to have features get added to games and then get hated because they’re not “fully fledged” when it was never the center focus. They never made it to entice people to explore the entire universe, they made it to make it feel real. I’m not a fan of the game, but this is far from the reason…. So long as social media exists, people will complain.
Like Outer Worlds, no one was expecting a tumultuous, hundreds-hour long story with an infinite amount of things to do. Obsidian didn't pitch it like that which is why it was met with high praises after launch. Sure, people were saying it was a little short but still a fantastic game. But Starfield was sold as a huge exploration sandbox game where you can literally be whoever you want to be… that's literally what Todd said. Obviously that's not the game that was shipped. So yea, if BGS was honest about exactly what Starfield was, a humble story with minor exploration elements, then the reviews wouldn't be mixed, and might even be dare I say "very positive" on Steam. The community just feels lied to and taken advantage of. All we can do is wait and hope it gets the No Man's Sky treatment.
bruh.. let them eat? that's an old feature in 76…
