Starfield's Reviews Are Getting Even Worse, But Bethesda At Last Deals With Backlash
Now more than ever, Starfield is generating criticism; the problem has gotten critical enough for creator Bethesda Game Studios to personally address. With concerns about monotony and a lack of compelling content compared to Bethesda's past games often offsetting the game's positive features, the spacefaring RPG has always been polarizing. Paid mods stoked the flames, while an official Bethesda mission published via the Starfield Creations site at a price caused a notable spike in negative ratings.
Starfield director and Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard answered the criticism in a chat with YouTube producer MrMattyPlays, according to IGN. Howard made it plain that Bethesda is aware of the comments and said the studio is "going to take a look at that and how [it] deliver[s] content like that," suggesting future expansions are unlikely to follow the same pattern. "But right now, we most certainly notice the comments. Oh no, this looks like a faction we are cutting up and then selling for 700 credits at a time. That is not what we want at all. And so I do believe we should investigate that and how we provide material like that as well as whether we should be altering price or breaking it up or what we should do there. Thus, excellent comments from the community. — Todd Howard. Bethesda still looks dedicated to the Creations method in general, something the studio has often returned upon several big projects.
The Paid Mission of Starfield Has Clearly Gone Unpopular
Part of a Trackers Alliance idea that basically functions as a bounty hunters club, the Creations release causing the community such discontent is a DLC mission called "The Vulture." At 700 credits, "The Vulture" is worth the equivalent of seven dollars—a fee that appears heavy for one assIGNment. Trackers Alliance material clearly adds up rapidly in cost, and it falls short of other significant expansions for Fallout 4 and other Bethesda games with somewhat similar price tags.
Bethesda would certainly have had trouble staying IGNorant of the Starfield community's perspective on "The Vulture," which has helped to produce a "Mostly Negative" consensus for most recent evaluations on Starfield's Steam page. The general review score is "Mixed," far from the "Very Positive" and "Overwhelmingly Positive" accolades for Elder Scrolls and Fallout titles on the platform.
Bethesda's Reaction to Starfield Backlash: Future Direction of the Game
Although Todd Howard's remarks don't seem to suggest Bethesda will change its future Trackers Alliance mission plans, future pricing strategies may be improved upon. Though they can be a difficult topic of their own, Paid Mods are here to stay; Howard emphasizes the need of financial reward for "professionals" creating Creations. Though it remains to be seen whether Starfield can entirely recover from its present mistakes, it is at least noteworthy that objections have not been greeted with total silence.
The long-term viability of Starfield is yet unknown, hence it is too early to predict how the continuous debate will influence it. The destiny of the game will finally depend on the popularity of it and the strength of the Starfield community. Still, it's encouraging that Bethesda is listening to community comments and contemplating adjustments. With this chance, Bethesda should be able to solve community issues and improve Starfield's quality going ahead.
