Starfield composer Inon Zur has been discussing working with Bethesda, saying he believes “people were just not ready for” 2023’s divisive space adventure.
if by that you mean people were not ready to pay $70 for a giant steaming pile of shit, then yes, they were not ready for it.
Wasn’t that one of the first 80 dollar games?
I honestly don’t remember, a cursory search told me $70 but regardless of which it wasn’t worth it then and it’s barely worth $15 now, from what I know of the game. Tons of different games (No Man’s Sky, Outer Worlds 1 & 2, Elite: Dangerous to name a few) do different parts of Starfield 100x better than Starfield does it, often for less money. I can have a far more enjoyable time playing a mixture of those games than by playing a half-baked Bethesda attempt that does all of it – from the roleplaying to the space exploration to the combat – badly.
lol
lmao even
The game is what wasn’t ready. They shipped without a map for about a year. They ignored game breaking bugs posted to their community Discord (the official one they moderate). One notable one that was still unpatched after a year of being notified was how in random ship encounters, the leader of the enemies would be aligned to Constellation, meaning if you or anyone in your group killed them, all your allies turn against you. That should have been an easy fix. They just did not care.
If I were saying that an unpopular thing were better than it gets credit for, I’d say at least something good about it. Anything at all.
Bro’s living in denile.
“not ready for it” or even “just don’t get it” doesn’t change the fact that the game sucks sweaty donkey balls. i can’t think of a single thing that makes playing the thing an enjoyable experience.
maybe i don’t get it, but i also don’t care. got better things to do with my time
TES6 is doomed lmao
If they can look back at Starfield and think anything but “holy fuck we need to change up the way we run things around here immediately” then they’re already a walking corpse, this shit is gonna SUCK
Correct, I was not ready to be bored out of my fucking mind. Way too many other games that are actually worth playing.
Yea I’m sure folks just weren’t ready for Highguard, Concord, or E.T. on the Atari either.
I didn’t know Inon Zur had takes on the games he produces music for. Interesting to see his perspective at least, even if it seems off.
*dick-a-butt
The spaceship builder was cool and some of the bugs were pretty funny. Easily worth the 1e Xbox pc gamepass.

It’s backwards. Starfield was not ready for people.
