Starfield is still broken despite major 25 GB update

Bethesda has just released the latest update for Starfield and players have discovered that the game is still incredibly broken.

[The-VG-shamman]

It will never be running as expected, because these fixes are mostly for the compensation of the series s lol. The games legit compromised Already.

[Monkeycan8]

Which is why I am waiting for the PS5 version.

[JEECE]

There will probably be a PS5 version announced within the next year, but don't expect it to magically fix all the games underlying problems.

[Rockstar]

...This is Bethesda we're talking about

[Monkeycan8]

Nah it wont fix the problems but it will be better and have more content.

[Tacoboto]

Gotta hand it to Bethesda.

One way to avoid laying off QA staff is to just not have any at all!

[Goosejuice]

Why have QA when modders fix ur game for u

[Flakegriffin]

Didn’t the modding community give up on Starfield shortly after launch?

[Goosejuice]

I really tried to get into this game as I love Bethesda games. Put 40 hours into and even bought the 100$ edition...but this game just isn't good. It's an ok title at best. Dosnt have any of the charm that elder scrolls or fallout has. It's incredible how bland this game is despite having the opportunity to create a whole new universe..literally, and they give us this mostly human universe with the same things to do over n over just on a different named planet.

They had such a huge opportunity to give us this incredible universe akin to star wars and instead made it bland af. It saddens me a bit cuz I truly tried, and i love Bethesda open worlds. Maybe shattered sky's helps? Idk. To me the core of the game is just not good. The only thing I truly liked was the ship building.

[shinoff2183]

This is about where I'm at. They never built onto it within the game. The lore sucked. Where as elder scrolls and fallout you find notes, books, and computers to read and what not. It adds to the game tremendously as far as lore. It couldn't immerse me like the the other 2 series. Maps and exploration lacked. Those are my only issues with the game. Unfortunately I don't think they will ever give a fk about the lore.

[Profchaos]

Credit to you I couldn't stomach any more forced tutorials and menus 4 hours in.

I hit another guided tutorial after 4 hours playing Its simply bad game design

[Kurt Russell]

I put in 110 hours, it had some addictive Bethesda qualities that kept me chipping away... even though, you're absolutely correct. It is a really bland title and in my opinion completely lacked that sense of discovery and exploration by taking the hub world route.

[HansyJ]

I can never understand somebody saying I put 100 hours into something and I thought it was bland and didn’t like it lol 100 hours. Some people haven’t even spent 100 hours in the gym in their life.

[anast]

"Go to the gym because you spent 100 hrs doing something you kind of enjoy."

This is a bizarre take.

[isarai]

God i hope ES6 is better than this

[QuestionMark]

Me too, but after experiencing how soulless Starfield is, my optimism for ES6 plummeted. Starfield was interesting, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

[Levii_92]

So is Cyberpunk but apparently for some reason that one is fine now in people’s eyes.

[jznrpg]

Cyberpunk is a much better game. I didn’t play it until a long time later so I can’t say what Cyberpunk was like at launch but now it’s a pretty good game. Still has some issues but there is a pretty good game to play despite that.

[InUrFoxHole]

No its not.

[BehindTheRows]

Cyberpunk is indeed a more enjoyable game, yes! I was one of the early PC adopters who had very few bugs and enjoyed much of what I played.

That said, I also enjoyed Starfield. A little slow out of the gate, but looked pretty good and had enough to warrant coming back to it!

[DustMan]

Cyberpunk turned itself around near completely. Just wish it had a NewGame+.

[InUrFoxHole]

Yeah but you still can't excuse bugs. If it's buggy it's buggy

[DustMan]

Cyberpunk turned itself around into a very entertaining game. It took a couple years, but is totally worth a re-run if you haven't played since Phantom Liberty came out.

[Demetrius]

Fed up of devs not utilizing ps5/series x power smh, ps5 pro not too far away and I bet games will still look like ps4 titles with stiff animations

[jznrpg]

Series S requirement makes anything multiplat gimped

[Abear21]

Hmmm. It’s almost like Bethesda aging game engine was the perfect marriage.

[franwex]

The game isn’t broken. That’s the game.

It’s like saying Tetris is broken.

[Gaming4Life1981]

The update is great and I haven't run into any problems. I'm running at 120hz 40fps visual mode vrr. It looks great and all the extra options for gameplay make it even better. Whoever had a problem with the game should definitely jump back in now.

[lucian229]

The correct word is trash

[shinoff2183]

Have they added a map to cities yet, and or more lore to it yet.

[DustMan]

you got city maps now.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

My biggest complaint with the game is it still feels empty and the navigation is still cumbersome. At least it has 60 FPS now though I guess. Funny thing is Starfield was the game to make me buy a powerful PC yet I didn’t care for the final product. I guess I should thank Starfield though for making me get into PC gaming.

[gigoran8]

No. All those unanimous 9s and 10s from those credible game journalists cannot have been wrong.

/s

[Melankolis]

It's Starbugs

[FPS_D3TH]

I usually love Bethesda games. I still can’t get into this one

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

The modders always have to come to the rescue.

[TheExecutioner]

25 years in the making.

[Abear21]

They should hire Sean Murray and Hello Games crew to make DLC for Starfield because No Mans playing it anymore.

[S2Killinit]

Not sure why some people care so much about this average game, at best.

[Profchaos]

Keeping the Bethesda tradition alive.

They really need to get it together it's no longer charming or endearing to still ship games like this it's lazy.

Now we know sometimes things happen but if cdpr can turn cyberpunk into a highly rated game then Bethesda can also do the same but there seems to be a Hey the community will do it for us

[VincentVanBro]

Like putting perfume on a turd, it’s still a turd.

[gold_drake]

are we really surprised? none of their games have ever not had any bugs or glitches.

todd rly needs to be held accountable for it.
