Will the DLC shattered Space save Starfield?

[yongbing1]

Will the DLC shattered Space save Starfield. I know Microsoft is hoping that it will, But will it.? Opening fugues for the game were all hope and hype. Shattered Space will not have the hope and hardly the hype from players.. Now let the authoritarian censors censor this post.

No way, imo. Actually I think the Starfield studio is being shuttered after the DLC releases. If you watch the two new Starfield videos, all the furniture is gone and there are black tarps blocking the background. I think its way worse than people think to be honest.

We are all very excited to see the outcome of shattered space

The same way Phantom Liberty saved Cyberpunk? I don't think so.
But Shattered Space has to be loaded with content and exciting story line quests, important decisions, new weapons, new companions maybe, very new map locations. The game is desperate for content

I think those of us who already enjoy Starfield, Shattered Space will be a welcome addition, but if you don't like the core gameplay loop of Starfield then you're going to be disappointed.

Shattered Space is primarily a story expansion. Not really a gameplay expansion.

Yeah thats why its going to fall flat on its face because the story is the worst part of the game. They should have added space game stuff to their space game, but doubled down on bad writing from the same bad writer instead.

The people who hate the game will keep on hating it. Those who enjoy the game will probably like the dlc. It's more gameplay, not different gameplay.

By "saving" do you mean resurrect both sales numbers, or playercounts, or both? I don't think anything short of a total upgrade (the same way NMS and Cyberpunk have gone through) would be sufficient. A DLC with another planet and story elements just doesn't touch enough systems to significantly alter the base gameplay, such that the game's entertainment and immersive factors would improve to where today's gamers expect them.

And you CAN'T sell something like a total upgrade of base systems, since people already paid for those systems by purchasing the vanilla game. We know Bethesda hates to do work without being paid for it, so the chances of a NMS/Cyberpunk re-do is slim-to-none.

tldr; Not gonna happen, certainly not with a DLC, and never see a rewrite unless it's an "Anniversary edition" ~5 years from now re-released for new purchase.

Yeah, and the base game is only getting a part merger option for the ship builder, according to the beta. The game needs actual things to do and content.

You had a legitimate post until you played the perpetually oppressed victim card.

Idk how they can fix Starfield without changing base game, whats the best they can make Starfield?

Starfield doesn't need saving as far as I'm concerned, I enjoy the game just fine.

Same.

Im telling you guys, go back and watch the last two videos. All the decorations and ornaments and furniture is missing, and there are giant black curtains up.

Im super cereal. I think its way past its saving point.

Yea nobody is surprised. Both Todd Howard and Tim Lamb have talked about how they "hope" they can continue supporting Starfield. Their future plans will be decided by how many purchase Shattered Space

Unfortunately from what I have seen so far this expansion doesn't address any of the major flaws in the main story so I'd have to say no.

If you're someone who already enjoys the game, it's additive, not transformational, in the same ways things like Far Harbor or Shivering Isles were additive and not transformational for past Bethesda games.

If you're someone who doesn't enjoy the base game, it's still additive, not transformational, in the same ways things like Far Harbor and Shivering Isles were additive and not transformational for past Bethesda games.
