Starfield Multiplayer mod Dev quits mod and makes it open source when he realized he was playing Starfield

breh spends a week reverse engineering the game before even playing it and the moment they play they lose all hope. lmao
Reads like an Onion headline lol. Cant really blame the person for stopping work on the mod if he has no passion for it.
Now that the hype is going away the mediocrity that Starfield is, is become the prevalent narrative. Can't really disagree with him.
A Bethesda game without an active and enthusiastic mod community is beyond a dead game. They literally rely on Modders to do most of the QL for them.
Fascinating watching Starfield have zero staying power at all. Bethesda can't just repast Oblivion anymore, dire times for them.

More people playing Skyrim than it on Steam. Both games are also on game pass
Game has the best quests since Oblivion but I can't say I understand what the vision was for the game overall.
Like, who woke up and said "we MUST make this very vanilla space game that's less impressive than NMS in every possible way when it comes to actually exploring space"

So this person seems to have made a Skyrim multiplayer mod.
Posts on presumably their own discord or one for modding Bethesda game.
Says they started writing code to adduktiolayer to starfield but gave up because they realised the didn't like the game.
And then they release the work they've done so far so someone else can take over it if they want.
How does that make themselves full of themselves?
I don't agree, mod creators - especially ones doing something this complex - wind up investing hundreds upon hundreds if not thousands of hours into these mods for little to no profit and they're just being blunt in informing the people who followed said mod why they're giving up on it.
This isn't a corporation or something, they don't have to mince words here and use PR speak. People here honestly have said far worse about stuff they don't like, and that's without them being invested in mod development that uses up all their free time lol.
This is pretty funny, but yeah. Game's just not very good. Some people keep saying mods will save it, but I doubt it. I just don't think players and modders will be interested enough in the game when the Creation Kit drops.
Big miss from Bethesda, imo. It has all the bad stuff from their previous games while losing almost everything that made them at least interesting.

Not surprised. That's why I didn't get why people just automatically assumed this game would have Skyrim level mod support for 10 years. In most cases people actually gotta actually be passionate about the game to want to mod it like that...not just because it's made by a studio that once made games people were passionate about
I remember being hyped to several games that i end up hating after actually playing them, and it's a really sad feeling. But yeah, getting to the point of reverse engineering them seems worse :p
Though i know some people that hates vanilla Skyrim but loves it after certain mods. Maybe disliking the game is even more reason to do mods, since you can change them.

Bro is not wrong. His experience from pre-launch hype to disappointment seems true for a lot of people including myself.
I don't understand your point. This is someone who has been passionate enough about a past Bethesda title to put a ton of time and energy into enhancing the game. Should they be required to do likewise for a game they don't seem to particularly like? Or should they keep their opinion to themselves to spare the feelings of a corporation? They were clearly excited about the opportunity to apply their skills again to a new game so I can understand their disappointment.
Sometimes i wonder if the sheen of BGS games is wearing off. But even with the complaints surrounding Fallout 4 & 76, it still seems like those games still have staying power in people's minds, whereas Starfield felt like it fell off hard.
But I don't really follow these communities so maybe I'm off base by a lot. Perhaps Starfield's got a good community as well.

Starfield's legacy will be brutal. It's rare for a hyped up game by such a prestigious studio to end up this bad.
And they hated him for he told the truth
A certified Anthem™ moment
For a game all about exploration. Exploration sure is its worst feature.
There's a big love, still, for the BGS approach to open world design. Starfield doesn't have it, so... that's a problem, haha.
Because it's not Skyrim? It's a completely different game with different gameplay.
Hell, I can play both games, and do. Starfield didn't replace Skyrim, why would it?
I genuinely don't get the hate from people who like other Bethesda games.
To me, from what I've played of Starfield, it just feels like Fallout with a space setting. Granted, I put in over 4,000 hours into Fallout 76 so maybe I'm more forgiving than most, but a lot of the reactions just seem like clickbait.
