1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Go. I've done it. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Starfield. Ah, what's the date today? It's the the eighth. It's been 48 hours 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000 nearly more or less since the official release of Starfield for Xbox Series XS. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,000 Is it on S? Yeah. And PC. Asher's obviously had hold of it since the first of 5 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000 September. Yep. And I have had hold of it since the sixth of September and if 6 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000 you're one of the people who's not interested in Starfield, you best go away 7 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000 really because that's what this episode is going to center around. Disclaimer, 8 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000 we're not going to spoil anything, however, we'll be discussing early mechanics, 9 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000 gameplay stuff and just the game. We won't be disclosing any important things, 10 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000 but we will be talking about, you know, the odd side mission, yada yada, but 11 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000 nothing very, very important. So just bear in mind, if we spoil anything for you, 12 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000 you've been warned. We won't be talking about glitches, we're not here to tell you 13 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000 how to earn the most amount of fucking credits or whatever their units, 14 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000 whatever they're fucking called. Credits. There's none of that bullshit, no cheats 15 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000 or anything like that. So if you're looking for guides or just fuck off and 16 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000 just listen to our normal conversation about it because this has been, since the 17 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000 first of September, this has been cooking. Yeah. Sorry I couldn't be here last week. 18 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Someone stole my vehicle. Stole it. It was a friend that stole it so I couldn't 19 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000 get here. But I'm back. Thanks for filling in. I did listen to the pod the other 20 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000 day. I thoroughly enjoyed it as usual. You're welcome. Good work, Steph. And me. 21 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000 And me. Thank you. You're welcome. So yeah, so let's fucking jump on it. 22 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Ash is playing Starfield on his Xbox that he bought specifically for Starfield. 23 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000 This has been over a year ago. Yes. When you bought that. It was basically near the 24 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000 beginning of the podcast is when you purchased that. Yeah, it was when I went 25 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000 to Centre Parks. Yep, that was the one. Oh, that shit, was that, that was, we hadn't 26 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000 done our first episode yet. Had we not? No, I think we did it after Centre Parks. 27 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Oh yeah, because we started. Because we were going to plan to do it and I said, 28 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000 we'll wait till I get back. Yeah, that was the one. So this has been over a year in 29 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 the making. I've barely touched the Xbox. I played it a little bit, but not really. 30 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000 It's crazy, and I'm playing it on PC. Yeah, before we get into that, I just 31 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000 realised how jealous I am of you. Not that you're playing it on PC, but the 32 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000 power that you have to play it on Steam Deck if you feel pleased to. Yeah. That's 33 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000 crazy. Yeah, I mean, obviously you use Game Pass, so you might have to buy it. 34 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Yeah, annoyingly, I think there is a work around. I can get access to Game Pass 35 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000 through the desktop side of my Steam Deck, so I wouldn't have to pay for it, 36 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000 which I think for the sake of 70 quid, I'd probably, I'd probably do that. But 37 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000 yeah, if I wanted to, I could have it, I could have it portable. It's great. I 38 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000 don't think it would run particularly well. Well, I've seen people say it's 39 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,000 really good. I think I would imagine it would lock it at 30 frames. Can confirm. 40 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Charlie has bought an Xbox for this game. Has he? Fantastic. He's that hype for it. 41 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 It's great. People are coming to me. I love the fact that I just get messages 42 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000 from people I haven't heard for ages. When a game comes out and they don't know 43 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000 a lot about a lot, they go, I know a man that does know a lot about, not a lot. So 44 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 let's holler him. And nine times out of ten, I recommend stuff and they hate me 45 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 for it, but they keep coming back. And this is why we run a gaming podcast. We 46 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000 do slightly know what we're on about. It's odd. There is some knowledge there. 47 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000 We like to think we do. We know more than the average Joe. Yeah, which is how we'll... 48 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 So where do you want to start? I think you should start maybe on the, what 49 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000 character, what did you go with? What was your traits, your poisons? That's it. So 50 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000 when you make your character, you get to pick three traits and they're quite, 51 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000 they're in the background. Yeah. They're quite unique. Background. I think I 52 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,000 picked pilot. I think is what I went for, or I can't, I can't really remember, but 53 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000 my traits, one of my traits was the one where you have that adoring fan that 54 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000 fucking randomly pops up. He's from oblivion. Yep. He's now on my fucking, he's 55 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000 now on my ship. And then the other two, fucking hell, what was the other two? I 56 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000 think they were just like bog standard. One of them, I got a bounty on me. 57 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Bounty hunters will always... That's wanted. Yeah, wanted. Will try and take me 58 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000 out because I thought might be interesting. Fuck it. None have actually 59 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,000 come to take me out yet, but we'll see. And then my other one, I can't actually 60 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000 remember. I think it was just one of the boring ones, like extra stats somewhere 61 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000 for doing something. I can't remember what. So my background, I picked a bounty 62 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000 hunter. Yep. It's just fucking cool. The traits are all optional. You don't need 63 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,000 to take any of them. Yeah. Cause I know a guy at work, he, he's got a dyslexic 64 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000 dyslexia. So like reading is not really his thing. Like he can read, but you know, 65 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000 he, he'd avoid it if he can. Yeah. So, but he plays like he's game that he only 66 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000 plays is ESO. It's the only game he plays. He plays it whenever he's free, 67 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000 thousands and thousands of hours of it, which is mental to me. Cause for someone 68 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000 that can't really read, he plays an MMO, which is all voice acted. It is voice 69 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000 acted, but there's still a lot of menus and shit to get through for someone 70 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000 that's not, he's not a gamer, but he just plays MMOs. That anyway. So yeah, he, 71 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000 he didn't realize that they were optional. So he just picked like whatever free, 72 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000 he just whatever. I can't remember what I picked. I definitely picked wanted and I 73 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000 did remember what the other one was, but it seems to have eluded me. I have had 74 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000 people turn up and try and kill me. So what they do is they give you something 75 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000 and they also take away. That's why they're optional. So for example, um, 76 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000 one, it'll give you like, I can't remember plus 5% or 15% damage permanently, 77 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000 but also you can get swarmed by bounty hunters. Um, I liked one of them that, 78 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 that basically made it like real life. You've just got a mortgage that you have 79 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000 to pay. It was, um, yeah, you have access to a, to a very decent house. And then 80 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000 there was another one where, um, both your parents are alive and you can visit 81 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000 them, but 2% of your income goes directly to them. Yeah. 82 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000 I feel like they're both would have been interesting ones to go with. Um, but 83 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000 like you say, they're, they're completely optional. They just make it a little bit 84 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000 more spicy. I mean, the mortgage one was like, you had to pay fucking 150 grand a 85 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000 month or something. I was like, that's a lot. Yeah. I don't, yeah, I don't want to 86 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 be fucking popping that out. So yeah, I didn't bother with that. I can't remember 87 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000 exactly what the other one was, but I'm sure I remember. Um, I wonder if it would 88 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000 get repossessed. I don't know. And then there'd be like some quest sequence where 89 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 your house gets fucking taken from you. I feel like that would be the kind of shit 90 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000 that could happen. Oh yeah. A hundred percent. That sort of stuff would happen. 91 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Um, but yeah, I got up, I set my alarm four o'clock in the morning last Friday 92 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000 to play this with the intention of coming on the pod. So I'll get some timing. Um, 93 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 and I only really managed to get the intro done and I was very tired and it was 94 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000 hard to, it was hard to absorb the information that was being portrayed 95 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000 through the television screen at that time. Pitch black fucking TV lights in my 96 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000 eyes, trying to drink coffee quietly. Cause my wife's asleep next to me. Didn't 97 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000 want to wake the kids up, but we got through it and uh, yeah, I, I've not looked 98 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 back. I've put 20 hours in so far, which for me is a lot because I can only play 99 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 like a couple of hours. You only had fucking seven last time I spoke to you. 100 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Yeah. I'm on my 20, 21 now. I've done just shy of 11, which ain't bad for two 101 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:28,000 days. It's quite a lot of time. Um, I managed to get the best spacesuit in the 102 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:36,000 game, but do you know how? No. All right. Well there's a spoiler. Well, no, it's 103 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 not really a spoiler. Well, I don't know if it's the best place in the game, but 104 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000 it's like three or four times better than the one I've got. And it's in a master 105 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000 locked cabinet and it's in the lodge, you know, the constellation building. Yeah. 106 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 You go down into the basement. There's a glass cabinet with a spacesuit in there. 107 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Oh, I haven't explored that. And um, yeah, it's obviously like, it's a master lock. 108 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000 If you like put your cursor in, you can get it in between. Get it. Yeah. And you 109 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000 keep spamming the button. You can get it. But, but what I've done is I've got to 110 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000 have to do that when I fucking come off this. It's nuts. You get the, you get the, 111 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000 you get a helmet spacesuit backpack for a booster pack or whatever. Uh, but it's 112 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000 so good that I've just unequipped him, put it in my storage cause I feel like I 113 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000 shouldn't have it yet. I've got a feeling that might be like the reward that they 114 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000 give you for the, well I've, I've got the perk, which lets me unlock advanced locks. 115 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Um, so I'd imagine the next one, you have the next one up. I've, I've got a, no, 116 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000 next one's expert. Obviously I told you about the helmet that I stole that 117 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:45,000 allows me to go invisible when I crowd that, um, yeah, going into the, there's, 118 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000 there's this, um, store basically where you can buy gear and guns and shit like 119 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000 that. And obviously you can steal things like most Bethesda games. You can, you 120 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000 can Nick stuff and then you get fucking bounty put on your head or whatever. You 121 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000 go to jail, all that shit. But what you can do is if it's on a racking or 122 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000 something like that is you can melee it and hit it off the racking and then just 123 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000 push it out the fucking building, which is exactly what I did. And then just 124 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000 stole it like that. Yeah. And then just, and then just took it. And then with the 125 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000 helmet, um, I've got the perk for the stealth where it gives you a stealth bar. 126 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000 So you know when you're hidden and when you're not. Um, and I just crouched by 127 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000 the helmet and then waited for it to say hidden and then just equipped it. Nice. 128 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000 And then no one, no one does anything. And then obviously the minute you put it 129 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000 on, you're invisible because you're crouched and you're not moving. Yes. So, 130 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000 um, so yeah, it's been, it's been fantastic. You can pick up items. I don't 131 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 know if you know, you can pick items up light and, and hover them around and put 132 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000 them where you want, rotate them. Yeah. I don't know how to do that yet on PC. 133 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000 I've got the controls screenshotted for you, but I did think I was like, cause 134 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000 you used to be able to do that in fallout free. Yeah. We can do it in all of 135 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000 them. Yeah. But yeah, like a lot of famous one used to be in Skyrim. Like 136 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000 they'd have always gold on their desks and stuff or whatever in the shops. And 137 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 it's people would put buckets on the shopkeeper's head. It's crazy. Take it. 138 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Take the bucket off. They can't see it. It's great that the physics even exists 139 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000 for that. That's, that's the, I've sent you a picture of the wooden duck. Yeah. 140 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Yeah. That was just, it's just, I found a wooden duck and it's the only one I've 141 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000 ever found. I found the, I found one too. I also found a, um, a cuddly toy, uh, 142 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000 that has had a proper name on it. And when I picked it up, it made like a really 143 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 weird laughing noise. Yeah. I got, I got, I found two of them. Uh, but one of 144 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000 them I want to put in my ship as well. Yeah. I was going to put it in the ship. 145 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Uh, but yeah, cause I've only found one of them. It's for my own little treasure. 146 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000 I've put it up in the cockpit. So I dropped it and then picked it up and 147 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000 rotated it and popped it there. And to my surprise, I thought this is going to 148 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000 bug out soon as I take off, it's just going to go, but it doesn't, it's still 149 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000 there. It stays there. Cause it took me a long time as well to realize that you 150 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000 can, you can exit your cockpit whilst you're in space. Yeah. I didn't realize 151 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000 that. So yeah, when I got out in space and I exited and walked around, I said, 152 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000 still fucking there. So yeah. Uh, but yeah, we might've jumped the gun a bit. 153 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000 What do you think? Come on, hit me with your thoughts of the game. I think it's 154 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000 very, very good. I do think it's very good. I think it's, it's getting a lot of, 155 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:26,000 um, negative, uh, voices, um, reviews, fucking people whinging about it. I 156 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000 think because so many people have, the only real thing that you can put it next 157 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000 to is something like no man's sky. And they're two completely different games. 158 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Everyone's saying about the seamless, um, exploration in no man's sky. And 159 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000 while yeah, that's a, that's a great feat. It's, it's not groundbreaking that, 160 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000 that, that isn't a thing in starfield. If you don't know in starfield, basically 161 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000 you want to go, if you want to traverse space, it is quite a few loading screens, 162 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000 but they're not tedious loading screens. They're animated and they're, and 163 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000 they're, and they're very fast. So for example, you're on a planet, you get in 164 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,000 your ship, you, you open up your map or sorry, you get in your ship and you can, 165 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000 you can go into space and that, that's a loading screen. And then you're in space. 166 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000 You can move around in space. You can't, um, traverse the entire space. So there 167 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000 will be an invisible area where you'll hit a wall. Um, that's not actually true. 168 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000 They, someone flew all the way to a planet. They left it as a video that Alaina 169 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Pierce. 170 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Yeah. I don't think they ever, she reached it. Yeah. She flew to, I can't 171 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000 remember where it was Pluto or something. She left it on, went to sleep, got up 172 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000 and then put the stream back on just as she is about to get there. And when she 173 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000 got to say Pluto and she, as she got to Pluto, she just went through the planet. 174 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000 So obviously you're not supposed to fly to her, but you can, if you wanted for 175 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000 some strange reason, but also just to jump in on that, the loading screens and 176 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000 all that, you can cut a lot of them out. If you're on a planet, you can just 177 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000 travel to another planet. You don't have to go into space for us. And add to the 178 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000 fact of that, all this sort of stuff will just be modded out in Skyrim. For 179 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 example, one of the most popular mods that I've always had installed and it's 180 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000 one of the most popular when you go on the mod store is open cities, which means 181 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000 no loading screens for cities. So you would literally, normally you go up to 182 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Whiterun, you open the door and then there's a loading screen to get into the city. 183 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Now on the mod, you just open the door and you walk in the city. So they'll have 184 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000 mods to, they'll, a hundred million percent will be a mod where you can fly a ship 185 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000 in space. But you don't need the fucking, you don't need the mods. Some people 186 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000 will want that. One, one thing that I found that I didn't like when I first 187 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000 started playing it, but now I'm starting to get used to it because it was just so 188 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000 much more different is the space combat pilot in your ship and everything like 189 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000 that. It's very, very different to any other thing that I've played. And you get 190 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,000 to a sign you have say like my ship, for example, I got 14 like power banks 191 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000 essentially, and you can split that into how much power your engine has, how much 192 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,000 power your missiles have, your laser beams and things like that. You can move 193 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000 it all around your grav drive and all that shit. And then the actual movement of 194 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000 the ship itself, it's not like you have to hold down forward. You press forward 195 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000 and it will ramp up the speed. 196 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000 I haven't got used to that yet. I'm always holding forward. 197 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Yeah. And it is odd. But like I said to Ash, I didn't like it. However, I saw it 198 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000 as I've got the default ship. It's slow. It's clunky. It's a shit ship compared to 199 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000 everything else. So it's not a fighting ship. No. So the so the orange. Yeah. So 200 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000 the combat in that ship is not going to feel as good as if I had a better ship 201 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000 and having seen quite a lot of videos now on TikTok because I'm liking that shit 202 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000 now that I've got the game. I'm seeing a lot of ships that are a lot more durable 203 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000 in space flight and things like that. So I know that it gets better. And that was 204 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000 sort of my only real gripe with the game was that I wasn't used to the space 205 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000 combat and that's it. 206 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000 I also think it's harder for you, a lot harder because a lot of people are 207 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000 struggling with flying with the mouse and stuff like that. I think it's a lot 208 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000 easier on controller. 209 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000 I quite like it on the mouse. 210 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Yeah. Some people might get on better with it. I know I definitely wouldn't. I'm 211 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,000 struggling with the controller because whenever there's a fight, I'm instantly 212 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000 like, right, fuck, move. And I'm trying to move. And then I'm like, oh, my lasers 213 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000 aren't powered up. Click, click, click, click, up, up, up, up. I mean, I'm trying 214 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000 to get that. And then I'm locking on and they're shooting me and can't tell my 215 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000 health's gone down. I don't know. What are you playing on? I'm playing on hard. 216 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000 It's difficult. I'm just playing it on normal. Yeah. The space combat is by 217 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,000 and large the hardest thing in the game so far. Yeah. But the actual, everything 218 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,000 else like I said, the noises in the game because I was on planet with a headset, 219 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,000 they're so good. The noises are so good. Don't get me wrong. There's obviously 220 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000 things that are wrong with this game. From what I've heard, I haven't 221 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000 experienced any myself, but there's been a couple of bugs. I got one person I was 222 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000 talking to who their sound is completely broken in the game and their loading 223 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000 screens keep crashing their game and blah, blah, blah. And I was like, well, I 224 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,000 haven't experienced any of that, but obviously it's a thing. But also I've 225 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000 noticed a trend of a lot of people that are complaining about it either haven't 226 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,000 played the game or have only played like an hour and then gone, yes, it's shit. 227 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:47,000 And if, if that's how we're going to for a game that takes hundreds of hours to 228 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000 complete, if that's how we're going to roll with it, then it's, it's not going to 229 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000 work because I've done the same shit with God of War, No Man's Sky itself, 230 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Elden Ring. You know what I mean? All these heavy hitting games, Horizon, 231 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000 fucking loads of them where no, they're actually real, really good. You just got 232 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000 to stick at it a little bit. 233 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000 I've got a little interview here from David Jeff or Jeffy. I don't know how to 234 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000 pronounce his name, but he was the director of God of War, like the first 235 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000 ones, I believe. And he's interviewing someone about why they don't like 236 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Starfield. And this just shows you what the problem is. I'll play it. It's quite 237 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000 short. It's about a minute and a half long. 238 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000 I haven't got that yet with Starfield, but I'm not far in it. But I want to say 239 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:41,000 one thing though. The game is so far based on word of mouth reviews, it's a 240 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,000 disappointment. I don't think it's a bad game, but it is a disappointment 241 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000 considering what it's complete. 242 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000 I mean, how much have you played? 243 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Like three hours. 244 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000 What's disappointing about it to you? 245 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000 To me, it just doesn't get. First of all, I thought the intro was horrendous. 246 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000 I think the writing. 247 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000 What about the intro? What about the intro was horrendous? 248 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,000 It just was very lackluster. Like if you compare it to Skyrim, immediately, 249 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000 you know, you're fighting a dragon. 250 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000 You can't say Skyrim properly. 251 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000 And then you're sent out into the world to do anything you want. Like literally. 252 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000 That's the same here. 253 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Whereas this is a little bit like I said, it's a little more shallow. 254 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000 It's a little bit more. 255 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000 It's a little bit almost more like Mass Effect where it's more story oriented. 256 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000 It's pushing you in a certain. 257 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000 This bit. 258 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000 Do you think that was the choices you made? 259 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000 What is her name? 260 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Lynn or Lim, the lady who's your boss? 261 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Do you think part of it is just that the fact that she asked you to burn the 262 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000 bodies and shit and it should be more of a choice versus she forces you to do it 263 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000 and it's almost like it's scripted at that point? 264 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000 That's some of it. 265 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000 I mean, that didn't that didn't happen at all in the game. 266 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 So I'm assuming you haven't played it yet. 267 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000 I mean, so people are just jumping on bandwagon, just being like, no shit. 268 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 But you haven't played it. 269 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000 And also, yeah, there is an argument for saying, right. 270 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Yeah, I've heard a lot of people I respect and they're big Bethesda fanboys. 271 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:17,000 So they they weren't they weren't 100% sold on it until about 12, 15, 20 hours in. 272 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000 However, it took them to get to certain places. 273 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000 I think, yeah, all right. 274 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Some games aren't designed in that way, but these games are designed for long for 275 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000 long play sessions and long play time. 276 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000 So you kind of know what you're getting into and expecting and don't get me wrong. 277 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000 It's not bad up until that point. 278 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,000 But yeah, it can be slow. 279 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000 It can be a bit boring and tedious. 280 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000 I'm 10 out 10, 11 hours in. 281 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000 I have not had a single bit where it's slow. 282 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000 No, I don't think so. 283 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000 And I've only done three or four of the main story missions because I've been doing side shit. 284 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,000 As I said to you yesterday or day before, the there's a point in the I'm doing all the main stuff now. 285 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000 There's a point in the main story where and I'm still well early in it. 286 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Well, I'm pretty sure I am anyway. 287 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:10,000 But there's a point in my story where something happens and you're kind of like, oh, wow, I wasn't aware of this. 288 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000 So and when you get to that point, the game is going to open up even more in terms of just I'm not going to say anything. 289 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000 But yeah, there's something that happens and you're just like, oh, I didn't even know. 290 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000 There is so much shit to do in this game. 291 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Looking at my quest log, there's just so much stuff, so many different storylines that I'm currently doing of which I know 292 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 that they're going to intertwine at some point. 293 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000 Like I won't say who, but there's one geyser that I'm currently planning on blackmailing. 294 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000 I'm also doing a different quest line, which is to do with this geyser. 295 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000 But it's not mentioned whatsoever, but I just know that that's the path that they're going to cross. 296 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000 So that's why I'm saving this little thing that I've got to blackmail this geyser. 297 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000 There's countless other quests that I've got where I've either been walking through a city 298 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000 and someone's been saying, I really wish such and such could help me or could do so. 299 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,000 And you go and speak to them, then boom, you got another quest or some quest that you pick up just by fucking just being in the area. 300 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:20,000 There's so there's so much stuff to do that the people who the people who are playing it and saying it's bland, it's boring, 301 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000 it's it's it's really not lived up to expectations and things like that. 302 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,000 You're you're not you're not going to get what you're after in two, three hours worth of gameplay. 303 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000 It's just not going to happen. And also, this is a Bethesda game. 304 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:44,000 I'm not I'm not a Bethesda fan boy, but we all know that things like Skyrim fall out, even to some extent. 305 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Fucking other world. No, sorry. Outer Worlds. 306 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,000 Yes, there's there's a story there and most of them have a very decent story. 307 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000 There's a lot of quest lines there. Blah, blah, blah. 308 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,000 It's also somewhat of a sandbox. You have the freedom to do a lot of shit. 309 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:12,000 We just sat here and told you that I stole stuff by knocking it off the shelf and then walking out the door with it before I equipped it. 310 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:20,000 And Ash got a really fucking decent spacesuit behind a locked cabinet by peering through the fucking gap in the glass and then taking it that way. 311 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000 You can put buckets over people's heads in Skyrim to nix shit. 312 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:30,000 There's there's so much stuff that you can do thinking outside the box that you don't even know. 313 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Yeah. So to say that that is bland and boring, that it's I feel like we're in a gaming culture at the moment where everyone wants stuff handed to him on a plate. 314 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000 They want they want instant fucking satisfaction. 315 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000 The minute they're playing that game, they want to be blown away from start to finish. 316 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:54,000 And unless you're invested in the game and actually fucking switched on a little bit, not every game is going to give you that. 317 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000 And this isn't the kind of game where you are going to receive that. 318 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000 If you could fly from planet to see that's the main complaint I've seen is one invisible walls on planets. 319 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000 You have to run for so long to get to have a single invisible wall. 320 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000 I mean, neither have I. So I don't know how long you have to do it, but it's a long time. 321 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000 And also the flying between planets or whatever. 322 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000 So if there was no invisible wall, fine. 323 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000 If you could fly between planets, fine. But these people would find something else to moan about. 324 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Yeah. And they'd grasp onto that. 325 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:29,000 I'm telling you now, planet wise, with the invisible walls like No Man's Sky, No Man's Sky, you can traverse the entire planet in a seamless fucking thing. 326 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000 You can do this on Starfield because you ain't hitting that fucking wall. 327 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,000 There is so much shit to do in whatever area is set. It's crazy. 328 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:46,000 And then if you do happen to hit a fucking wall, it's not very much of an issue to just jump on your ship and then literally fly. 329 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000 You can also fast travel to your ship. 330 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000 Yeah. To just fly to the next bit, which then loads you in. 331 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:59,000 I landed on the moon expecting to be hit with this small area that I could explore. 332 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Fucking just running constantly. But it's not like I'm running and there's nothing. I'm on the moon. 333 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000 I'm on the moon. There's nothing on the moon. We've been there. It's just cheese. Right. 334 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,000 I'm there. And there is countless buildings, caves, hidden areas. 335 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Fucking I come across this oil refinery place that was purely it was run by robots with a warning that come up saying if I enter, they're going to kill me. 336 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000 That was just one of the random things on the fucking moon, a place where there's nothing there. 337 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000 I mean, you're talking about just side quest. You just land on any planet. There's stuff to do everywhere. 338 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:47,000 That wasn't even a side quest. I was doing. That's what I mean. I was doing a side quest and the fucking NPC that I had with me said, oh, if you want to go and explore the moon, that would be quite fun for a little minute before we go and do this. 339 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:54,000 So it weren't even part of the mission. It was literally the NPC with me saying, I'd quite like to go over there if you want to do it. 340 00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:04,000 And we did. We didn't spend long there. But the videos I see of people running in straight lines on planets and hitting invisible walls. 341 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:13,000 I have no idea. Never did that in No Man's Sky. I never landed on a planet in No Man's Sky and just running a straight line for 20 minutes. Who's doing that? 342 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Who's doing that? And what do you want? What do you want from that? You just want to be able to run in a straight line forever on a planet. 343 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:26,000 I'm a big fan of No Man's Sky as we both are. But obviously it has its limitations in comparison. 344 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000 The biggest criticism was always said with No Man's Sky is there's a lot, but there's not a lot to do. There's a lot of mining. 345 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000 It relies on creativity of the person playing. 346 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:46,000 But if you land on a planet on No Man's Sky, you're going to run around, you're going to see the same containers, you're going to see the same buildings, the pointless aliens that you can't really do anything with. 347 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:54,000 There's no missions. They're not giving you any quests. You're fighting sentinels. You know what I mean? On this, there's fucking random alien fucking monsters. 348 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:03,000 There's obviously the mining, the scanning, the building, the random quests you can come across, the radiant quests. 349 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,000 I was out mining because I've got a real problem. This is probably my only problem with the game. 350 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Two problems I have is one, storage space because I'm a hoarder. And every time I see a mineral, I need it. 351 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000 And I'm worried I'm going to need it, so I store it all. And I just I never have any fucking space in my inventory. 352 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000 And two, I don't think the companions talk enough. But hopefully that will be patched in. 353 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:35,000 I saw someone build a ship. It had 21,000 inventory slots. It was literally just all containers. 354 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:43,000 That's the kind of shit that I need. But yeah, just running around on a planet, you're always finding stuff. 355 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000 What was that thing I sent you? 356 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:54,000 By the way, we're not ripping No Man's Sky at all. We both love the game, but it's they're two completely different games. 357 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,000 People who keep comparing them are just outright wrong because they're not comparable. 358 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Just because they're both in space, it does not mean. Yes, you can obviously see that Starfield has taken some kind of inspiration from No Man's Sky 359 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:14,000 with the minerals and the scan in them and things like that, but only slightly. 360 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,000 And yeah, I just I don't know, man. Like you say, you sort of hit the nail on the head on that one. 361 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:27,000 You go to a place on No Man's Sky. Yes, the planets are randomly generated and they are fantastic. 362 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:36,000 But you. There is only as much to do on the planet as your imagination would allow you to perceive. 363 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:43,000 There's minerals there, there's things that you can gather, but ultimately, unless you're there for a specific quest that has sent you there, 364 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:52,000 it's a it's a survival sandbox. So you are creating your own fun with that game and there is a shit ton of fun. 365 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000 But it's not it's not story driven. Early on in the game, I was fighting. 366 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000 I was just on a random planet. I don't know where I was and I was in some little fucking robotic area. 367 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000 And I just come out and I'm still in the same sort of boat. Now I've got no fucking medipacks. 368 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000 I never have very many because I'm always healing. I'm playing on hard. So I guess that helps. 369 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:22,000 But yeah, I had not a lot of health. I come out as I was going to go to the ship and leave as I was going to the ship. 370 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,000 A ship landed and all the fucking bounty hunters jumped out, started shooting me. I was like, fuck. 371 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000 So I've had to like I've tried to fast travel to the ship, but I can't because I'm in combat. 372 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000 So I had to like duck and dive and run to try and get to the ship whilst being chased by bounty hunters. 373 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000 Like that's just random stuff happening. You're not getting that no man's sky. 374 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,000 That's not to detriment to no man's sky. But that is the organic thing in Bethesda games. 375 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000 What makes them so unique because I think all them videos I've been sending you. 376 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Yes, unique experiences that are not they're not scripted. 377 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,000 So they make them that makes it more fun. Yeah, because it just happens. 378 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,000 It's organic. And that's why Bethesda games are so beloved because you've got your own stories. 379 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:10,000 I genuinely think that a lot of the people that are that are speaking negativity don't don't get it twisted. 380 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000 We're not here sucking the dick of Starfield. No, it's not perfect. It's not perfect. 381 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000 It definitely isn't. I wouldn't put it in the category of game of the year either. 382 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000 So from what I've seen so far, I don't think it's there. I think it's a very good game. 383 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000 But I also feel that a lot of the people that are ripping it just haven't played it. 384 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000 Not talking only put a couple of hours just haven't played it full stop. 385 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000 And you know, for a fact, there's a lot of people whinging who only play on PlayStation because they can't have it. 386 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,000 The same way that Xbox that Xbox players complain when a fucking when God of War Ragnarok released. 387 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000 It looks too linear. You can't even know. 388 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:57,000 You're always going to get people whinging always. And I feel like there's some instances where that 389 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:06,000 that almost negative feedback is somewhat necessary, dependent on the game and how it's released and things like that. 390 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:12,000 But a lot of the time, it just tears down gaming as a whole and the developers and everything like that. 391 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000 If they spent all that time and effort making a game to just have people consistently whinge. 392 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000 So what's the fucking like you say, if it if it's seamless travel and you can do everything that everyone's whinging about, 393 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000 they'll find something else to fucking whinge. If it's open world, they'll complain it's not linear. 394 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000 If it's linear, they'll complain it's not open world. There's always some cunt who has a fucking whinge about it. 395 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,000 If it was if you had to fly everywhere, people soon get bored of that. 396 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000 They fucking were because the flying in No Man's Sky is boring as well. 397 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000 After a while, it gets fucking boring much like everything after you do it for a while is boring. 398 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:53,000 You're in the vastness of space. What are you doing apart from flying to the planet? 399 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,000 Exactly. Like there's there's other ships, but you'll see them in the orbit of the planet. 400 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000 The noises of the ships, by the way, are fantastic. Yeah. 401 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000 When you hit the frost, they sound real fucking decent. 402 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,000 When you take off, it's got that crispy. Yeah, yeah, really, really nice, nice sounds. 403 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000 And all the little clicks and the buttons. Yeah, man. 404 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,000 Yeah, when you load it, yeah, it's cool. 405 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,000 Have you got another ship yet? No. So I've bought I've bought another ship. 406 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000 I don't have the fucking dough. I've got like forty thousand whatevers. 407 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000 I bought a second ship, one from the first from the Atlantis, Achilles is called. 408 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:36,000 And I've also I've also stolen a ship. 409 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Yeah, I remember you telling me about that one. 410 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000 But but there's different cockpits as well. 411 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000 And you sit in your one and you sit there and you pull the control panel out and it wraps around you like my one. 412 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000 I get in it. I get in at the side. 413 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000 And as I get in, the seat rotates and goes forward. 414 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000 So like there's so much like I haven't worked out the ship building yet. 415 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:03,000 As far as I'm aware, I need to get a hold of another ship in order to start getting more parts to build shit. 416 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000 I think I don't think so. I just started building. 417 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000 I just started adding things on the side. 418 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000 So when I wanted more storage, I just got I just bought the storage containers, clipped it on the side. 419 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000 You can only clip onto certain pieces and if it needs to be attached and blah, blah, blah. 420 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000 I'm like I'm not a very creative person. 421 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000 So I struggled for a bit trying to work out what I was doing wrong. 422 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000 But yeah, now when I want more storage, I literally just pop more storage on. 423 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000 Yeah, I'm going to have to have another look. 424 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,000 I want to get a little bit further in the main story before I start fucking around with the ships and things like that. 425 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,000 But yeah, man, I think it's a fucking good game. 426 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000 It's playing really well on on on PC. 427 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000 I think I'm getting I'm on high graphics, not not ultra. 428 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000 But that's just what it's set to as default. 429 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000 So I might whack over to ultra and see see how it actually plays. 430 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000 But on high graphics, I'm getting a stable 90 frames. 431 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000 That's that's my other gripe. 432 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:08,000 Obviously, this I can't wait till the mod comes out to unlock frames because 30 FPS is horrible. 433 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:17,000 That's a poor move. I don't I don't understand because the starfield is optimized for the Xbox, not for PC. 434 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:25,000 So I can't really understand why we're running at 30 frames per second on a series X. 435 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000 It's just mainly for performance. So there's not lag spikes. 436 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,000 Yeah, but you could have the performance without any of that because they could fucking series. 437 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000 I'd imagine they could have a performance or quality mode like most games. 438 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000 One hundred percent. And I think it would be absolutely fine. 439 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000 I will a hundred percent be unlocking them frames because the 30 FPS is jarring. 440 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000 I don't like it. I thought it might be possible because it is in some games. 441 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000 It's very noticeable and I hate it. So I can't wait for that to go. 442 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000 But yeah, this the whole thing about is a vast universe. 443 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000 Explore it. Explore is your leisure. People got a lot before the game come out. 444 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,000 People getting hung up on the thousand planets thing and only a hundred of them having life on them and stuff. 445 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,000 I think now it's probably I'm guessing because I haven't been to a thousand planets, 446 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,000 but I'm guessing when it comes to only a hundred of them having life on, 447 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000 there's still going to be things to do on these planets. 448 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000 There's still going to be buildings, still going to be stuff to find. 449 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000 Like I say, the moon has robots on it. 450 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000 Yeah, they're not just going to be barren barren. There's going to be things to do. 451 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,000 And yeah, like the little stories, man. So I don't know how much you're into it, 452 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,000 but I'm listening to all the dialogue. You know, I walked into a land on a random planet. 453 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000 I don't know what it was. Fucking gone at show or something. It's called. 454 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000 I fucking don't know. I don't know. So I'm beginning with a G. 455 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:50,000 I was wandering around and I wandered into like this little fucking repair shop thing. 456 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:57,000 I was talking to a girl. She's writing a story talking about mech warriors from the future or some shit. 457 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000 Is it a good title for a book? I was like, no, it sucks because I'm playing a dickhead. 458 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000 Yeah, I always do. Yeah. 459 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,000 And then but then she started talking about like the colony wars and stuff, 460 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000 all the backstory of the game, all the wars in it. 461 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,000 And apparently because, you know, his contraband and a lot of it is mech parts. 462 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,000 You're not allowed to have mech parts. And she explains you can ask her why. 463 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000 Like because she was a mech pilot in the wars and why they were banned and stuff. 464 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,000 And I was like, OK, so now I'm understanding why mech parts is contraband because I didn't know. 465 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,000 Yeah. Now I understand that mechs are banned as part of like the colonization 466 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,000 and unification to stop fighting between planets, the idea. 467 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000 So I'm hopeful that there's going to be some mechs to climb into or something. 468 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Do you mean there's the possibilities in this game? 469 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000 It just it's going to have the lifespan of Skyrim. 470 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000 It's going to be modded to fucking the high heel and people will still be playing in 10 years. 471 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000 It's just because they'll have to because there won't be another Starfield for 20. 472 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000 Starfield 2 will be 20 years away. Agreed. 473 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,000 Which is fine, because as soon as they add Darth Vader and a lightsaber, I'm done. 474 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000 I don't need any other games. Yeah, that's I'm just going to be running around. 475 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,000 You know, you know, the fucking Death Star and all of that shit is all coming. 476 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,000 The minute you introduce a shipbuilder, that's it. 477 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000 You saw what the people did with fucking Tears of the Kingdom. 478 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000 Now look what they're going to fucking do with with Starfield. 479 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000 It's going to be the mods are going to be mad. 480 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000 I hope the mods on the Xbox are larger than they were on Skyrim. 481 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000 Scrim you had like a five gig max. 482 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000 It needs to be extended because I need lightsabers, I need Darth Vader, I need Death Stars. 483 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000 I need fucking I need all of the Star Wars stuff. I need a Star Wars pack. 484 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000 Yeah, I can just go bought me now Star Wars. 485 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000 But yeah, it's the organicness of the game. 486 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:47,000 The first fucking the first mission thing you do and Vasco comes out with you and you, you know, the Crimson Fleet. 487 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:53,000 You have to fight them. The captain at the end and you come out and he's like, hey motherfucker, you know, I want your ship. 488 00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:00,000 I don't know how you dealt with it, but I persuaded him to not, you know, fight me. 489 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,000 And he let me he let me go. He's like, just take your ship and your fucking robot and leave. 490 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000 And I was like, oh, yeah, I passed. I've done the persuasion thing. 491 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000 But then I killed them all anyway. Yep. Because it's fun. 492 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,000 The the geezer that I'm currently blackmailing, I had to he set me on a task to destroy his ship, 493 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,000 which had been taken by pirates because there's some sensitive data on there. I've done that. 494 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000 Yeah. And I did not destroy his ship. I boarded it. 495 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,000 I lied to the pirates and they let me board and then they instantly found me out. 496 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:38,000 And yeah, I did a persuasion thing with with the with the captain and basically said, look, I'll take what I need. 497 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000 You can keep your fucking ship and then we'll both go be on our ways. 498 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,000 And he was like, all right, fair enough. 499 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,000 And yeah, I was tempted to fucking kill everyone and take the ship. 500 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:54,000 I was tempted. But again, I remembered one of the side missions I'm doing and I thought this could come in handy. 501 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,000 So I've got a little fucking envelope, which is to blackmail the geezer that give me that fucking task. 502 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:04,000 Interesting. I know exactly what question you're talking about, because that's on 503 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,000 it's on that dusty planet. Yeah. 504 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,000 And I did the same thing. I went there, found his ship, boarded the ship. 505 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:19,000 But like that, that famous me more gif is I didn't give anyone a chance to talk. 506 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,000 I boarded the ship and I just started shooting. So I blasted everyone in that ship. 507 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000 And then not only did I shoot them all and kill them all and took the data, but also fulfilled my mission. 508 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000 I got off the ship and I blew it up. 509 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,000 Just another way of doing things. And that's the organic nature of just just a normal side mission. 510 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000 The differences that we've had just through that. 511 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:52,000 Also, I'm in the same position as you when you spoke about getting caught with contraband and then I'm also in jail. 512 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,000 But I won't go into it. But I'm also on the side of well, as soon as I get the option to side with the other lot, I'm siding with them. 513 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:06,000 And I'm blowing you motherfuckers sky high. So you're a fucking traitor, basically. 514 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:20,000 I will be wiping them motherfuckers up. Well, they I didn't know what was going on because the reason I'm in the situation that you're in is because that ironically, 515 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:30,000 that mission that we just discussed, I was doing that. I took a lot of stuff from there and on my way back, that's when they nabbed me. 516 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:37,000 Forgive me. I've got Pringles. Yeah, I just had that image, you know, that camera in the Pringles videos. 517 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,000 That's it. I won't eat them into the mic. 518 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:49,000 But yes, I just it's just such a good game. And I just I wake up thinking about I go to sleep smiling because I've had so much fun. 519 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:59,000 And the variables on it are just that's what makes it great. It's that water cooler moment that people call it where people stand around in an office around the water cooler 520 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,000 talking about what they got up to on the game the night before. And everyone will be doing different things. 521 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:10,000 And then games are so few and far between and so unique that they should be celebrated and not vilified. 522 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:20,000 It's a nice breath of fresh air is what it is. This is a very exciting brand new game from Bethesda. First in twenty one, twenty two years. 523 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:27,000 First new IP. So two decades. Todd Howard's Magnum Opus. 524 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:37,000 And let's not let's let's have it right and not forget as well that they've they stated in interviews that I've seen with my own eyeballs and ear holes. 525 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:43,000 That they said this the reason the games are so far in between is because they put obviously so much work into it. 526 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:49,000 But their games, you know, Alice Skyrim, but it's a different world we're living in now. 527 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,000 Starfield is going to be supported for years. Starfield is going to be not just mod support. 528 00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:04,000 They're going to be doing expansions, DLCs and the Creation Club whilst frowned upon on Skyrim and stuff like that because it's such an old game and it was bought in so late. 529 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:19,000 It's great. It's crafted content from Bethesda, i.e. spacesuits and missions and little bits and bobs, little gameplay changes and stuff that you can buy with real money if you want to. 530 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:26,000 But you don't have to. They'll just enhance the immersion if you want to be lost in a sci-fi world, which is all I want. 531 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,000 Now. I'm ready for Starfield 76. 532 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000 Online Starfield. Why not? 533 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,000 Yeah, that would be pretty cool. But I'm happy with what I've got. 534 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:52,000 If they had something like Elder Scrolls Online in space, but with the current graphics of Starfield, you'd be on to a fucking winner all day. 535 00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:04,000 All day every day. You just think of how successful ESO is. And like you were saying on the pod with Steph the other day about the quality and the difference that you notice now with voice acted dialogue. 536 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:13,000 So as I said to you when we were playing WoW, I like to know what I'm doing and stories, but I don't want to sit there and read all that. 537 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:20,000 So I just click through and then run. I'm looking at what my objective is, not what I'm actually supposed to be doing or any reason behind it. 538 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:33,000 And I know that's the MMO landscape and that's how a lot of them operate. But I also like being told, because when as Steph rightly said as well, you could play ESO like I have when I've played it as a single player Skyrim. 539 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:39,000 There's other people running about doing their thing, but I'm in my own story. I'm doing my own stuff. 540 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:46,000 Whereas in World of Warcraft, even though I can play it that way, I'm not interested in reading all that stuff. 541 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. And neither am I. 542 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,000 Exactly. Very few people do. You got to get into the lore of WoW. 543 00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:00,000 I think you have to be very interested in it because it's a lot of reading. 544 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:07,000 There's no reading actual books and fucking all the dialogue in the quest and knowing where you are. 545 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:22,000 Whereas with something like ESO, it throws it at you. And like I said, there's multiple people that don't listen to the dialogue and are able to work it out through the quests themselves and what they're doing in the areas. 546 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,000 It tells the story without you having to actually listen to it. It makes it very, very fun to play. 547 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:37,000 For me, that's why I've always preferred the ESO style of the MMO because one, it's on controller, but that's just me. That's a personal thing. 548 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:43,000 But two, when I'm doing something, even if it is collect 10 apples, I know why I'm doing it. 549 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:50,000 And you're more invested in the reason for it as opposed to I've just clicked accept quest, gone and collected 10 apples. 550 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:58,000 Here you go. I'll give me the XP dump here. I'm actually doing it because this woman's child can only live on apples. 551 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:04,000 You're invested in it because you know exactly what's going on, which is how I feel with Starfield at the moment. 552 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:14,000 That's why I'm picking up all of this side stuff because I'm actually paying attention to what it is that I'm doing and why it is that I'm doing whatever it is that I'm doing. 553 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:26,000 It's a very engaging game. If you let it be engaging, it's fantastic. Stop fucking whinging about Starfield. Just leave it alone. It's not perfect. 554 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:33,000 No, it isn't. But it's one of the fucking decent games of this year. Stop fucking whinging, you sweaty little cunts. 555 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:43,000 Neon Street Rat was the other trait I picked. There's a neon street rat. I can't remember what it does, but it means you grew up on the mean streets of neon, which I haven't visited yet. 556 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:51,000 Although I have found an outfit from it. The weapons as well. I keep finding new weapons. I keep thinking, oh, that's probably all the weapons. Nope. 557 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:59,000 The weapons are great. There's another new one. I found one yesterday. I killed it at the end of like, once again, a random little side thing. 558 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Killed this guy and he dropped like the sickest gun. I don't think I'll pick another gun now. It's just a pistol, but it's got like, you know, in Dead Space, he's got like that laser. 559 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:24,000 He's got like that laser cutter thing. He's got like three green dots that come off of it, like a triangle of dots. And I think it shoots like radiation or something. 560 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:33,000 But it's like, it's fucking sick. The gun feel, obviously it feels, it'll be feeling different on console, but for me, it feels great. 561 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,000 It's the best combat that Ed Bethesda have done. It feels really, really good. 562 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:48,000 I know that they said in interviews that the ID team helped them out because obviously they're Bethesda because that's Doom and Doom is shooting. 563 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:55,000 So you put Doom and Bethesda together, the shooting is going to be a lot better. Obviously it's not as impactful as Doom, but it's there. 564 00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:01,000 And like I say, once again, mods, they'll add mods to make fucking, you know, blowing people's legs off and stuff. 565 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:08,000 I was surprised that they haven't done that because in most of like in Fallout and stuff, you blow people's heads off and don't think you could do that in this yet. 566 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:17,000 I haven't seen it, but there's there's there's bits of space and stuff like that and planets and shit where the gravity affects your combat. 567 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:24,000 Oh, yeah. I was flying in space yesterday and I just come across a derelict ship. 568 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:33,000 I boarded it. I hailed it first because, you know, immersed me. No noise, nothing coming back. So I boarded it and I was all just floating around. 569 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:39,000 First time that's happened. It was a fucking casino. It was a floating casino in space. 570 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,000 Abandoned casino. 571 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000 Have you been in it? 572 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,000 No, I haven't been in it, but I've seen a video about it. Apparently it's quite a good place to get a load of money. 573 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,000 Yeah. Yeah, I reckon I found a bit of money, but it's just sick. 574 00:47:50,000 --> 00:48:00,000 And when I like so this is why I love Bethesda games and not just Starfield in general, just Bethesda games full stop because I stumbled across this. 575 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:05,000 I went in there. I was I have no idea what I'm doing, where I am. This is cool. I'm looking around. 576 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000 I don't know what it is. It looks like it looks like a casino. 577 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:16,000 Oh, they must. I'm guessing that something's happened and everyone's died because the gravity is gone and everyone's suffocated and died. 578 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:24,000 That's what I've put together in my own head. But then I'm finding like like little environmental storytelling things and documents and stuff and reading it. 579 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:35,000 And no, this is the first casino in gravity space and stuff like that. So it was supposed to be like that, but it wasn't really working and stuff. 580 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:41,000 So you you kind of you kind of get a story about being told a story if you look for it. And that's fucking genius. 581 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:50,000 I don't think that's why I think games like this should just be celebrated. As you said, 21 years for the first new IP has been like 10 years in the making. 582 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,000 And it shouldn't be like picked at his floors. Obviously, it should be fairly critiqued. 583 00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:00,000 But I feel like people are just just trying to floor it because they just want to. 584 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:06,000 They want to have the media. If you want to go and play No Man's Sky because it's so much better, go and play No Man's Sky. 585 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:20,000 That's absolutely fine. If you genuinely believe that Starfield is shit and there's other games out there that are far better star citizen No Man's Sky fucking ever space, then by all means, go and play them. 586 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:30,000 It's absolutely fine. But I for one, I'm enjoying Starfield even more so with the fact that I haven't had to pay for it because it's free on Game Pass. 587 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:39,000 So I'm going to buy it. I'm going to buy it. I decided I'm going to buy Starfield and then I'm going to cancel Game Pass because I probably ain't going to play nothing else. 588 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:47,000 Yeah, genuinely. I bought the Xbox for Starfield. I've got Starfield. There might be the odd game that I come back, but then I'll just subscribe for a month and play it. 589 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:55,000 And then I subscribe. And once I've once I've had Starfield for like six months, then I've paid for the Game Pass. 590 00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:00,000 I'm going to be playing this game for hundreds of hours. It's like Skyrim. I always went back to it. 591 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,000 Even as recent as last year, I was playing Skyrim and modding it and then Connor started playing it again. 592 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:13,000 And they're just that's just them sort of games. You just get a new idea for a new playthrough, new character, new way of doing stuff. 593 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:25,000 It just seems it just seems very fun. It's very easy to fucking potter about and just do bits by bits, bit by bit with no immediate pressure that you need to complete this game. 594 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:32,000 No, because everyone's game is so different because it's all random events and shit like that. 595 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,000 The game hasn't even the game hasn't even shown its full potential to you yet. 596 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:43,000 I'm excited for you to get to that and go, oh, OK. And then you're going to be like, right. 597 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:49,000 Well, that's that's that changes a few things because now my brain is like, oh, right. 598 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:54,000 Then I there's it's hard to say about giving it away. So I'm not going to say anymore. 599 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,000 But yeah, I can't wait for you to get to that point. I'll find it out tonight. Yeah, it won't be. 600 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,000 You won't. If you beeline the main stuff, you'll be there well quick because I just beelined it. 601 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:11,000 And I was there very, very quickly. And then I stopped the main quest because I was like right now, I know that was probably the thing that most people say. 602 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,000 And when you get to that point and then you realize what the game is. Yeah. 603 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:20,000 Yeah, I think now I'm just going to go back to just doing what I do, which is let's check the log. 604 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,000 Have I got anything I fancy doing? No. I'll land on this planet and see what's going on. 605 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,000 And that's all I've been doing. This fucking such a cool game. 606 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:35,000 Yeah, I want to go home and play it now, but I can't talk to this fucking patron mugs, which we're going to go and do. 607 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:39,000 We are going to do that. As always, patron.com forward slash what's the buttons? 608 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,000 Shit load of episodes there that you can get access to for like five quid. 609 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,000 Have you told them all there on Spotify? No, you haven't. 610 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000 They are all on Spotify. That's quite cool. 611 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:58,000 Steph is working on changing the logo for that specific Spotify section because it comes up as the the patron to it. 612 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:05,000 He's called the Jedi Club. If you're not aware and on we've linked it now with Spotify 613 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:11,000 so you can listen to all the patron episodes through Spotify if you are obviously subscribed. 614 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:21,000 And Steph was going to change the logo to theme at Star Wars and she was going to she was going to have obviously like blue and red. 615 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:29,000 And then she was going to replace the controller with a lightsaber and some other shit might put a fucking might turn you into some kind of Vader. 616 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000 There's there's a couple of things that we're that we're looking to do to sort of separate it. 617 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000 But yeah, it's because that is one of the annoying things about patrons. 618 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,000 If you want to listen to anything on it, you've got to go on the patron app. 619 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:47,000 But now it's all directly on Spotify, which is fantastic and very easy. 620 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,000 Also, have you used that Spotify DJ thing? Yes, I think. 621 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,000 Now we're going to listen to some tracks that you haven't listened to for a while. 622 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000 So up next is 50 Cent within the club. I'm enjoying it. 623 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,000 Right. We're going to go and do that. Play lots of Starfield. 624 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:09,000 We yeah, we hope you didn't tune into this episode to listen to anything else because you'll be sorely disappointed. 625 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:37,000 Ten out of ten. See you later. Uro.
