Remij 4,720 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Everywhere I'm looking people just seem convinced that it's going to be amazing. That's a big difference compared to the last time it was showed off where people were still quite obviously not entirely sold on it. Obviously now it looks more polished and we know more about all the various systems within the game.. but I'm surprised at how solid the reception was to that deep dive. Without any BS console warring, how would you rate what they showed? Edited June 16, 2023 by Remij Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,625 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Thought what they showed was very good overall, much better showing than the last time (even though there are multiple aspects to this game that really do not appeal to me personally). However I do think this new found confidence might not be a good thing though because people are now going in with crazy expectations (like literally even here jonb now hyping this as 'one of the greatest games ever made') instead of going in a bit wary and hopefully being surprised. This is still a Bethesda game and one with such a scale that the possibility of a bit of a rough launch is quite high. So yeah I'm keen to check it out and i'm sure its going to be a massive hit but personally it's not close to as hyped as I was for Diablo IV or that I am for FFXVI. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I spent hundreds of hours in their games and I'm about to stack another 100 hours or so. It's going to be a pretty epic game. It's the narrative and world building elements I'm worried about. I mean, Elderscrolls is actually a pretty good medieval fantasy universe and they inherited Fallout, which is probably the best universe in gaming in terms of background lore. Since Starfield is completely new, I have no idea what to expect and I have my doubts they can pull of something truly interesting that hasn't been done already in other science fiction works.

Yeah, I honestly don't even know what the story setup is. The fact that they had a 45 minute presentation and couldn't even outline the basics of it is a bit of a red flag.

-GD-X★ 7,822 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I thought it looked bad. Jack of all trades, master of none. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 744 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) what they showed looked solid. if they can deliver on all that it will be great. problem is im absolutely positive they won't deliver on that and there's probably 1000 bugs/bad things that weren't shown. bethesda hasn't made a good game in a decade, not sure they'll start again now.

There definitely are some people hyping this up to be the second coming. It does look to be pretty epic though.. and considering the quality and caliber of games Xbox has been putting out lately, it's somewhat understandable that they're extremely hyped for it. Out of any games MS has, this is honestly the one with the best chance to do real numbers and restore some confidence. Whether it all pays off or not, we'll see I suppose. 16 minutes ago, Twinblade said: Yeah, I honestly don't even know what the story setup is.

The stuff they're showing off is more important at the moment. They'll have a story trailer leading up to launch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,922 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Morrowind IN SPACE. Fresh coat of paint and new setting but will be the same copy and paste Bethesda formula they’ve been making for 20 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sugarhigh 519 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I like all the Bethesda games since Morrowind and I'll probably like this. I just hope there's all the faction side plots and world changing events that make their games memorable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,299 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Here's the thing with Bethesda and their games. They've always done deep dive demonstrations in the months leading up to release. Them showing FO4 at their Zenimax E3 conference. Them showing Skyrim at Quakecon Has anybody ever gotten the sense that they UNDER-promise in their demo, and then proceed to OVER-deliver when people play the final product? Because that's what Zelda ToTK did, bigtime. I fell like their showcase showed off the best that game can do, and when people get around to experience it, it isn't going to exceed that by very much.

lynux3 2,165 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) It looks alright, but it'll get good scores I imagine just because it's their next "big game". I mean look at Halo Infinite. Easily a 5/10, but it got overrated. The question is... will it do Fallout/TES sales without PlayStation? Edited June 16, 2023 by lynux3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 448 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I'm expecting it to be like all the other Bethesda games- a buggy fuckin mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MalaXmaS 651 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Looks like another promising Bethesda game. Even with bugs, their games are one of the best. I remember playing FO New Vegas despite it crashing every hour or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mother Fucker 26 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 It didn't look any more ground breaking than what Bioware showed off with Mass Effect on Xbox 360 some 16 years ago. Take it or leave it. Game developers are just recycling same old formulas folks have already played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
