Average game journalist covering Starfield
Robert Peterson
Joseph Lopez
The journalist is right though
Starfield looks like generic dreck that is being hyped up because it’s exclusive
Isaiah Gutierrez
>even normalfags are hating it
Sounds good.
Levi Carter
>The journalist is right though
they literally wrote incorrect information about the game, they didn't even do the bare minimum research
Nolan Lopez
>that is being hyped up because it’s another generic bethesda rpg
ftfy
David Torres
>games 20 years ago gave you 30 page long biographies of every enemy in their name, but now they're just "pirate"!
Easton Baker
Reminder that Journos hate bethesda for blacklisting almost every single one of them.
Mason Wood
A generic bethesda rpg shits all over 90% of AAA games, so yeah.
Leo Lee
do NOT believe his lies
Henry Gonzalez
This journalist sounds like he has good standards what's his name
Why did they blacklist everyone?
Alexander Martinez
>This journalist sounds like he has good standards what's his name
good standards? they literally didn't even research what they were writing about
Anthony Long
>EvEn ThE NoRmIeZ hAtE iT
snoy cope
Kayden Williams
>Why did they blacklist everyone?
Can't remember, there was a tweet by pete hines iirc about their relationship with journos but I don't seem to have it saved. Maybe another user has it. It made several journo publications seethe.
Joshua Watson
>Even gaming journalists are tired of Todd's BS
Daniel Reyes
Stop fucking defending Starfield
Aaron Brooks
This. There's no way those 1000 planets are gonna be interesting. By the time I heard it, just remembered pic related.
Which one? By that pic (only thing I saw), I'd only complain about his complaint of the "Pirate" thing - could be they're just covering up the plot, for now.
Nicholas Adams
WHY WOULD I TRUST A VIDEO GAME JOURNALIST OVER TODD HOWARD?
HAHAHAHAHA
Hudson Phillips
Stop fucking defending bad journalism
Carson Brown
When other's can compete with Bethesda even just a little bit, I will.
Jeremiah Torres
Yea let's keep pretending Startfield won't sell millions and get 20000 remasters while normies and journalists suck it off later
Alexander Jones
>Why did they blacklist everyone?
Journalists too greedy for clicks spilling the beans early to get a step ahead of the competition despite NDAs telling them when they could print. Basically, journalists can't be trusted not to leak shit they sign contracts saying they won't leak.
Blake Flores
you are being traitors to the cause
Gabriel Bennett
that's not journalism, that's a hit piece.
Noah Taylor
He's right though. Probably the only smart thing I've ever seen PC Gamer publish.
Brayden Cox
We must protect Todd and the non-static sandbox rpg at all cost. Lest we be doomed to a world of shitty JRPG's, perish the thought
Parker Jackson
>Which one? By that pic (only thing I saw), I'd only complain about his complaint of the "Pirate" thing - could be they're just covering up the plot, for now.
yes, he calls them "dudes to shoot". you can join them, do quests for them, etc. he didn't do any research, just wrote his speculation as fact
Luis Harris
FALLOUT 3 IN SPACE CONFIRMED
THANSK TODD
THE GREATEST EXPLORATION EVER MADE WITHOUT A SINGLE RAILRAOD
Aiden Garcia
haven't really seen anyone giving it overwhelming praise
personally i think it looks like complete shit outside of being a comfy base building game, but we'll see
Jose Gray
The game journalist isn't trying to sell you anything
Alexander Turner
>a TMZ esque hit piece is smart journalism because it's on my side
Ethan Sanders
>He's right though. Probably the only smart thing I've ever seen PC Gamer publish
they posted an article which contradicts a fact about the game. that's good to you?
Carter Sullivan
For once, they're actually saying what we're all feeling. Beth games are what they are, and every time they try to "evolve" themselves, more of the soul of their previous games is stripped out in favor of graphical fidelity. In their effort to be as impressive as possible, they forget that they have to make their game actually fun.
Ryder Lewis
>hit piece
where's the hit piece? he's talking about the game, not any person.
what fact is contradicted?
Austin Evans
this I don't get why you people even care about this shit you know what will happen later
Adam Phillips
Because they print bullshit libel, leak things shown in confidence and are paid off by the publishers anyway.
Mason Clark
Bethesda deserves to be held to a higher standard, and they should be better than this
Alexander Taylor
I was platting a build for when the game released so I took a look at the traits
What do you suggest me to do? Should I pick the perk that gives me 5% more damage with handguns or the one that gives me 3% higher rate of fire with miniguns?
Dylan Collins
Can you people not read the quote from Todd and then then quote from PCGamer? PCGamer did no research, you can join the pirates
Brayden Perry
When you're the Rockstar Games of open world RPG's, you are the standard. Maybe other devs should catch up with Beth
Adrian Davis
Bethesda was never good, they got lucky enough to become financially successful with Skyrim but they never released top games.
Camden Ross
> all 1000 planets found in this randomly chosen selection of 100s of stars NEEDS to be interesting
isnt this game set in real life? i very much doubt even 1% of the observable universe has "interesting" planets
Wyatt Davis
you're desperate for attention, huh?
ok, he's a (You).
Luke Bailey
unironically yeah where's the textbook of lore
Benjamin Sanchez
>what fact is contradicted?
Todd: the pirates aren't just this foe, you can join them
PCGamer: typical bethesda, these pirates are just "dudes to shoot"
Isaiah Hall
>Real life is boring, so should the video game
Gabriel Price
>journalist actually tearing into Bethesda and not being wowed by a big name, afraid to oppose papa Todd
Good for them.
Jonathan Phillips
What is everyone talking about Bethesda? I thought this was a Kickstarter scam.
Andrew Cox
>isnt this game set in real life?
I don't know, is it? How many houses does a capital city have on average?
Jordan Peterson
that doesn't contradict anything. the guy in the pc gamer article is complaining about the lack of depth or characterization of this enemy. saying you can join them tells me absolutely nothing about their characterization or integration in the world.
Grayson Sullivan
I never got the hype and massive fandom Bethesda games enjoy. They always feel like low production value JANK whose only saving grace is moddability.
Hunter Gomez
that would be fine if what they teared into them about was factually correct
Joseph Hughes
Didn't notice that, thanks.
Still has good expectations for Starfield, just hope they can keep their feet on the ground.
Ryder Thomas
>saying you can join them tells me absolutely nothing about their characterization or integration in the world.
what? you can join them and learn why they do what they do
Henry Thomas
>inb4 another delay due to initial reaction
Then Starfield actually could end up being something more than Fallout 4 in space.
Elijah Gutierrez
unironically looks barely any better
only now they're getting into ps3 tier graphics all over the place instead of mish mash of ps2 and ps3
Joseph Foster
>that's not journalism, that's journalism
Justin Jackson
>and learn why they do what they do
where are you getting that from?
Austin Hill
starfield has the exact same "shoot laser to mine rocks" gameplay as no man's sky
it has the exact same empty planets
Ian Ortiz
> you can join them, do quests for them, etc.
Let’s see. Let’s just see what Todd actually delivers.
Thomas Allen
>see that faction? you can join them
TOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD
Samuel Hernandez
>caring about graphical fidelity
Zachary Price
user...
Looks correct from what I'm seeing.
Luis Gray
He's lying. Just like every time. Nothing suggests you can even communicate with these non-people, much less join them.
Matthew Gray
I honestly got to appreciate heavily modded fallout 4 as an ok looter shooter with no story, automated looting (mods) and vast hordes of enemies (mods) you can massacre with your explosive laser gatling (mods). A lot better than the diablo loot, reddit humor alternatives.
The mistake of normalfag NPCs is expecting story in these things. I hope fallout in space doesn't bomb so it gets lots of mods.
Thomas Hall
The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, burn them both to the ground
Jaxon Ross
if they're trying to depict a realistic version of our universe.. then yes..
although there probably WILL be more interesting planets than you would realistically get picking any 1000 from the universe.
Yeah it is, with certain aspects of it not so realistic because it's a fucking video game. Like cities not having tens of thousands of individual buildings, or like I said to the other user, not actually adhering to realistic odds of how many interesting planets there will be when you pick a 1000 from the entire universe, so you can have more.
Cooper Stewart
He's trying to make you click on his link. Try again
Liam Lewis
Todd: the pirates aren't just this foe, you can join them
PCGamer: typical bethesda, these pirates are just "dudes to shoot"
Isaiah Bennett
>WAHDAH FUK U CANNOT TALK BAD ABOUT TODD LIAR PANTS
>U WANT DUH FUKIN GRAPHICS TO LOOK GOOD? TOO BAD U GET 1000 PLANETS AND 15 FPS
Samuel Reyes
space is empty and gay
I was super hyped for star citizen as well but even if you throw so much money at it, it's still a pretty shitty idea for an RPG
Owen Jackson
Anyone have the tweet from (I think) Pete Hines basically telling journalists to fuck off?
Thought I had it saved but can't find it
Jackson Brooks
yeah except for those who are super into it. not ever game has to be for everyone
Joshua Adams
>This journalist sounds like he has good standards what's his name
te 'pirates' lore are briefly explained. He didn't acknowledge that and thought they were some kind of placeholder
Andrew White
Where is the contradiction?
Journalists and Bethesda deserves to die, but they aren't wrong here.
Justin Reyes
I'll believe Todd when I see it. I'd recommend more skepticism when Bethesda is involved, user.
Ian Scott
it's a biased opinion on a game thats not out yet. it uses misinformation to make a claim, and it's clearly written with the intent to smear the game's reputation, and most likely written because of a vendetta. that's tmz tier "journalism".
Ethan Barnes
True, but I'd say "realistic space" is a much more niche setting than both TES and Fallout, even fantasy space would've fared better.
Oliver Perez
they are a faction you can join, do quest for, interact with. they're not just fodder to shoot at like our genius journalist is desperately hoping for
Mason Watson
>if they're trying to depict a realistic version of our universe.. then yes..
Which they're not, since when is it bethesda's MO to create realistic sims when their library has been a fantasy setting? This sounds like creating an excuse.
Logan Gray
because people fantasize about star wars and firefly shit that won't be anything like the game
