Bethesda Game Studios Announces Major Updates Every Six Weeks for Starfield Starting in 2024
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Good luck to them, post-launch support has been at a glacial pace so far. At the same time, Fallout 76 was in a worse position and that has turned around.
Of course, that game is a GaaS, so it's easier to draw a plan to generate long term revenue.
But I will say that the more years go by, the more choice gamers have, especially on the PC side. It gets harder and harder to pull off "comeback" stories.

Bethesda chew more than they could bite and it's very apparent 1000 planets was the worst ever idea
It ain't even that, the main city is also pathetic.
It's a studio that got away with poor design choices and tech deficit for way too long and now they don't know what to do. Their next game is likely going to take even longer and look even worse to other games releasing around the same time.
The new game Hello Games announced looks far more advanced than Starfield, that's a studio that has less than 50 employees, Bethesda Game Studios is around 500 with a lot more resources. Bethesda bet on procedural generation and turns out now they suck at both handcrafted and procedural generation content with nowhere to go.

They could have dropped that idea of an expansive galaxy and should have had given more time and resources to the city
Only focusing on our solar system like expanse would have had been fine
They couldn't even figure out how to make a map to the city. It has to be one of the worst cities I have ever seen in a AAA game. Full of loading, empty areas, confusing, uninteresting, unremarkable and dead. Most of what you find there are ugly looking vendors, quest givers and dumb NPC repeating the same lines out of context.
It pretty funny that when playing Bethesda game you can figure out what they were thinking. They chose the Nasapunk aesthetic so they could scan everyday objects instead of modeling them to make their work easier. Then they filled the world with a bunch of useless objects that have no purpose because it was easy to do and made the game even worse.
It's the same reason why they like procedural generated content and mods, it's all about reducing the amount of work they need to do and not about some actual inspired design decision.

Honestly good luck to them. It's a shame that such a high profile, big budget game sucks, but it's cool that we're in a time when developers can turn it around. Cyberpunk is basically universally loved now, and it's still not a great game. Ditto for No Man's Sky.
Oh great, a roadmap! I love these, I spend more time reading roadmaps than playing the related games!
I'll buy a copy of the game when I take off from a planet, fly over all its continents and then go to space fight some ships, fly to another planet in the same solar system and land (myself, no landing animation) on it without a single loading screen!

I bought F76 a few months ago, having never played at release.
If that excuse for a game is "turned around", I cannot even fathom how multiversally shitty it must have been at launch.
Redfall OC : 57
Fallout 76 OC : 53
I don't think I need to say much more, but yeah, barebones and upper echelon buggy mess.
That's EVEN if you graded F76 on a BGS curve.
The phrase is "Bit off more than they can chew", you have it completely backwards.
Kind of like how Bethesda designs games.

After a slight delay to make sure everything was in order, Bethesda has today released the biggest Starfield update to date, bringing a vast list of fixes and improvements to the game.
The new update is already available in the Steam beta and Bethesda has released the update notes, which are quite extensive, providing fixes for the various problems that players have faced.
Well guess they can finally start making the game and take it out of Alpha.
I do enjoy it when companies fix "very rare" bugs, as if; a) they're wasting resources on very rare bugs, B) bugs are so rare that they can waste resources fixing them, and C) anyone is dumb enough to believe bugs are rare.
