Nakey Jakey recently did a super indepth video on what is wrong with Starfield. And suffice it to say, I've removed the game from my wishlist. There's betterr games to spend my money on.

If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I'd point you in the direction of PatricianTV's Starfield analysis.

I for one absolutely do, thanks for the rec

You're very welcome. If you get the chance, let me know what you thought of it.

I desperately want to watch his 8 hour analysis of Starfield but am scared of the commitment.

Advice for consumption Patrician himself posted on his 24-hr Skyrim analysis:

  • Use the YouTube chapters.
  • Play it in the background or on a second monitor.
  • Don't rely on YouTube accurately tracking your progress through the vid. Comment a timestamp to use as a bookmark instead.

Commenting a timestamp is a nice way to get "engagement" for the algorithm.

[–] WatTyler 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely but it is also far more reliable than however YouTube tracks your progress. A win-win.

It's almost always better to wait on Bethesda titles and buy the goty/complete edition a few years later.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Maybe it's time to just stop giving Bethesda money all together. Or until they start releasing games when they're finished.

Guess that could be said about any AAA company though

Man, if they release a "pokemon emerald" version of starfield and slap a goty title on it, that just confirms the company only breathes in order to try and blow smoke up our asses
