[PC Gamer] Starfield is just ugly No Man's Sky
- Thread starter MauroNL
- Start date
While PC Gamer as usual does dumb hyperbolic titles and opinions.. i can see the demonstrated level looking 'barren and unexciting' but iam sure there are other biomes that look much better. Since you're gonna visit 1000 planets, a lot of them will be barren, so yeah...
I was told it was though. Among other things.
I'll be getting the game for sure (starving here), but that 1000 figure is pretty irksome. But since you can skip that for the most part, what actually bothers me the most is the UI. It's so goddamn bland, both the HUD and inventory screens as though they are just placeholders, even though they likely aren't. Thank god for modders though, because that will be the first thing I change.
What a world we live in when the new Bethesda game is being compared unfavourably to No Mans Sky
They really need to drop this comparison, especially if they're just going to use it to try and shit on Starfield.
Its easy to expect whats gonna happen though. You'll have people give there extreme takes while it'll have some balanced takes as well.
Anything visual is gonna draw all sorts of responses lmao.
The entire industry switching on Bethesda has been a sight to behold after hailing them as one of the greats for decades
Remember when no man's sky was being classified one of the biggest gaming failures of its time, if not all time? Good times.
even as someone who has serious reservations about the game, this is maybe the most obvious clickbait I've ever seen
like yeah, if you take out the whole "the core of the game is still functionally Fallout In Space, with all that entails", then maybe? but also, you can't do that

Sonic is just a faster Mario, and only cares about speed for speed's sake. Screw good level design and fun enemies. Feels more like a 2D pinball game than an actual platformer at times.
Does that even matter? The point is what they did show, almost all of it could be recolored and you would think it's No Man's Sky. That's the point.
Yes thats what it is, oh shit they figured it out, I wonder if they needed the twitter console warriors to help them, with the combined brain power and eyes to see a spaceship in a space game we now finally know that Starfield is just ugly no mans sky.
We can now confirm its not Skyrim plus guns which is fallout, or skyrim plus space, or breath of the wild cross plus 30 other things, or the space game but dark souls.

Indepoendetly of the article, I really really hope the scan and mine mechanic is minimal. Starting your showcase with that shit is quite a choice IMO
This garbage was better when it was self-contained as a spinoff discussion in the thread about IGN's garbage lol.
Yeah same but its just that i was kinda expecting to be 'WOW'd like when Skyrim was first revealed. The environment, the music looked beautiful and cool!
I mean... it wasn't a very exciting preview of the game. It reminded me of No Man Sky but with a story. If the story is going to be good or not is yet to be seen.
Yeah it's not gonna be different than the IGN one
I think calling it ugly is a bit rude though. I think the environments and alien creatures look good. Just a different aesthetic than NMS.
I definitely didn't expect something lower quality than some of the quick and dirty forum posts here stating similar concerns.
The past two years have really coated a lot of people's brains with cynicism. I can't really blame them tbh.
I get being doubtful of Starfield's quality. Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 did Bethesda no favors, to say the absolute least, and the presentation wasn't the showstopper a lot of folks were expecting.
Yet I'm still a tad hopeful that this title will be an engrossing experience. No Man's Sky isn't an apt comparison since it's not a story-driven RPG. Starfield's procedurally-generated content, outposting, and farming is a small part of the equation here. The characters, the main and mini narratives, the gameplay loops, that's what I'm looking forward to experiencing here.
If Bethesda drops the ball again, oh well, but I'd rather be optimistic about the game. I think they know they have a lot on the line here.
