Creator behind hugely popular Skyrim co-op mod gives up on the Starfield version of it because, drum roll please, 'this game is f***ing trash'
"I didn't realize this until after I actually started playing the damn game a week after launch."
Why the drumroll? Just say it
If people hate Starfield, they could optionally just not play it
I mean.... That sounds like exactly what happened here.
Starfield fans: not like that!
I burned out on it for now, but looking my hours played it's only a bit less than Skyrim which has been out forever.
I put 100 hours in it when it released.
the first 20 were the polished experience where they clearly put all their focus.
the next 20 were me being overloaded with quests that take me all over the place and just trying Sisyphus that ball up the hill, leading to another 40 hours where I was just kind of annoyed and wanted to complete enough of the game so I didnt have to come back to it (like finding all the temples, what a disappointment they were) before the last 20 hours of me just completely giving up and getting shit together so I can beat the game and call it done.
and the only reason I stuck with it that long and didnt stop MUCH earlier than that, is because i was in a discord with several friends who also got the game, and we alternating between sharing are complaints, bitching, moaning, and so forth about the absolutely stupid game design, bugs, etc etc, and just stubbornly trying to stick with it and finish it due to some weird unspoken peer pressure silliness.
Which was really funny in the end, cause we all agreed we only kept playing cause everyone else was, and everyone wanted to stop playing the game much earlier and not even bother beating it.
The 100 hours I spent in Starfield felt longer, and were more tedius and forced, than the thousand hours I've spent in skyrim.. and thats including times of dealing with ridiculous instability due to crazy modding and shit.
I have zero interest of ever installing it and replaying it short of some kind of amazing mod developments, and I don't know if the core game and framework is good enough to support the kind of modding craziness we've seen in F4/Skyrim/NV/Oblivion.
but but but we have to yell our opinions of how bad it is! look at me guys! i dont like game!!!! im special!!!!!!!
@Blamemeta Seems a bit premature for any real ambitious modding, since the full tool set isn't even released yet.
They've already backward engineered the game. It's not like it's a brand new game engine.
@WarmSoda Sorry, but they have not backward engineered the creation kit that Bethesda is supposed to release next year.
Oh dear. I was planning on never installing Starfield Together. Now I'll have to find some other multiplayer mod to completely ignore.
A game that is ‘fucking trash’ and yet I’m still interested after 250 hours of gameplay.
People love to exaggerate their anger.
Congrats, you just discovered that some people have opinions different to your own
"I enjoy low quality content, but I dont want to recognize that, so it must be the entire rest of the world thats wrong for their valid criticism!"
Go have your fun. No ones telling you to feel bad for enjoying it. Just dont be such an ass because people say the truth you don't want to acknowledge.
I mean, the 'hate' has generally been described as 'mediocre', which even this particular modder said to explain his thoughts in a Reddit thread.
It's good you enjoy it, but people can have different opinions. I agree with the opinion it's mediocre, it feels vastly worse than Skyrim or Fallout 4 to me. I don't think it's impossible or even hard to fix into a good game, but I'm not awarding points for 'could easily be better'.
The Internet does this thing where it makes some things popular to hate. Starfield is definitely one of those things.
What a weird combination of white-knighting and persecution fetish.
