My impression after watching the 40min leaked gameplay.

[kubabooba]

I've lost interest. It still looks like a good game that I'd buy on sale. To me, the game is not worth the full price of admission, let alone a gamepass subscription to play the game.

To start off, you begin by playing as a miner, and you're in the mining elevator. How did I get here? What is my connection to the world? I can't get immersed when games start out this way. In Fallout 3 you were born into the world. In Fallout 4 you experienced life before the bombs dropped. I couldn't get immersed in Skyrim, but at least in Skyrim, you woke up on a cart, you didn't just start playing standing in a mining elevator. So you mine some minerals, then you're told to go to this area where you find a mysterious rock and have a psychedelic vision. Wow. Compare that to Skryim where a dragon shows up just as you're about to get your head cut off. The atom bomb explosion as you're going down into the vault in Fallout 4, or Fallout 3 when the sh!t hits the fan, and you have to escape the vault.

Later on the constellation guy shows up in a spaceship, but then theirs a shootout with pirates.

I want to talk about immersion. Where is it? Loading screen to get onto the ship, loading screen to fly out to space, loading screen to warp to a planet, loading screen to land on planet, loading screen to exit ship. Boundaries on planets. People laugh at this, but it's serious. Have you seen the trailers for this game? Don't you think people will want to explore planets and use photo mode? In some clips, the game looks amazing. But I suppose the boundaries explains why we can't manually take off or land, why theirs no vehicles. You won't be able to fly your spaceship inside the planets' atmosphere to look for a landing spot like in NMS. It sounds like the areas we explore are just like the maps we've played in Skryim, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4. When you reach the boundary in those games, you get a message, just like in Starfield. It's the same thing.

25 years in the making and only 4 cities, and the one I've seen looks more like a settlement.

Curb your hype. This won't be a bad game, but it won't live up to the hype.

If you've seen the leaked gameplay, or whatever, please share your thoughts in the comments.

Sounds like you have bad taste. Doesn’t affect anyone besides you thankfully

Thank you for adding to the discussion with your thoughtful post.

You have the right to your opinion, but I'm confident everyone of us can come to our own conclusions.

I can't wait to start the game.

That’s ok, you don’t have to like it. I saw the Gamescom presentation (first 20 minutes) and I think it looked great. But I always loved the “Bethesda game formula”, so this is a no-brainer for me.

Don't want to play it... don't buy it, that simple. Trying to convince others just a waste of your time. personally can't wait to play it.

[Billy NoFinger]

Ok

[Chryseus]

You've seen one crappy leak that shows like 0.01% of the gameplay by a person who can't even play the game, wait for the real reviews.

[BLAME! 40K]

Like usual , this will be a good game for 20 shmekels , probably end next year .

And for the shortcomings , that was kind of obvious , the ammount of advertised features where not realistic to be deeply implemented , alot of hyped ppl will be frustrated , delicious salt :)

[ヽ(◴_◶)ノ]

From what i have read and seen through the web the game will be great , also .. not 25 years but instead 8 years in making its their first new gaming universe in 25 years doesnt mean the worked 25 years on it .

[PersonOfInterest]

All I know is that I will enjoy the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game

Someone put this man to jail!

Did you even read what he wrote ? Nothing to do with the ammount of the game or the skill .... Yeah loading intervalls are skill based ..... You won the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cake today

[MancSoulja]

Must suck to be poor and feeling forced to write a paragraph of absolute rubbish just to justify missing out on the best game of the decade.

Also, 25 years in the making doesn't mean they've been making the game for 25 years. It means they've had the concept for 25 years.

I'm expecting the same disjointed experience but we'll see I have my refund on standby lol

"At least in Skyrim you started on a cart and not in a mining elevator"

What exactly is the difference? How did you get to that cart? Who put your there? What was your crime before getting caught?

It seems that you don't really understand the idea behind Bethesda RPGS - The idea is that your background is whatever YOU choose, because its *gasp* roleplaying. They try to make your character as blank slate and open as possible, so one person could play like an ex-assassin, and the other could play like a chef or whatever.

You are complaining about loading screens when EVERY SINGLE BETHESDA RPG had loading screens for everything - even to get into very small houses.

You are complaining about 4 cities, even though you watched just 40 minutes of gameplay and didn't get to see even a single city - and even after Bethesda confirmed that there are numerous settlements around the galaxy.

You are complaining about in-atmosphere flight, when this game doesn't try to be a space simulator, and it's always been marketed as a Bethesda RPG in a space setting.

You basically don't want to play a Bethesda RPG. Which is fine. But complaining about the game for being a Bethesda RPG while we knew that ever since it was announced is just ridiculous.

Go play space simulators like Elite instead.
