I killed Starfield well apart from I really didn’t at all but do you know that thing that didn’t matter it turns out it really really really mattered hi everyone it’s as here from heal versus Babyface Starfield is now in full official release not only on the PC but also on the Xbox series X and Xbox series s X sex boxes and despite me having an issue with current day being rammed into every single facet of our entertainment today according to Bethesda themselves the player base is 6 million now I’m not trying to do any sort of gotcha I’m legitimately interested with this being on the Xbox I wonder how many of those 6 million players are actually through Game Pass as opposed to purchasing the game directly but this is the bethesda’s first brand new franchise in what 20 30 odd years so I think it’s safe to assume it was always going to do well to start with to give you some sort of context Final Fantasy 16 shipped 3 million copies in its first week but to give some additional context as well cyberpunk 2077 which came out in an abysmal State I don’t think any of us can deny that regardless of whether or not you like it now or still don’t shipped 13 million copies in its first week or two so obviously Bethesda still have some time to see if they can catch up to that however I don’t think they will new franchises from beloved companies sell it’s as simple as that and Bethesda is a beloved company the Elder Scrolls series is one of my personal favorites I just need to wait 20 years between Skyrim and Nelda scroll six and who knows what Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna be like based off all right let’s carry on as I’ve already mentioned but if you’re new here I’ve currently sunk about 25 hours into Starfield and I have struggled struggled so much that I haven’t even fired it up since the last stream well apart from to take this clip as long as the credits keep rolling in Life’s good because I think that’s just gonna be the most epic meme going for a quite a long time and even though every cowardly out of context multi-million YouTube channel decided to Dick ride because somebody that looks like me dare have a go at current day being rammed into all our aspects of entertainment which my rant was about it was rather hilarious that the same people that think they’re more clever than you couldn’t even get the proper context with the vast majority of them believing that the outburst was immediately after the pronoun section of the character creation wonderful guy called Hayden and of course my friend Jeremy D-Day Cobra from Geeks and Gamers actually compiled a video putting together the context leading up to the rant by the way context which we all know these dick riders don’t care about they just want their pound of flesh but here’s a little bit of it for you guys and I’ve linked the video in the description box down below so you can go and see the full context of everything and also get Jeremy’s opinions on the matter too he what him I love ass so much okay Bethesda I’m gonna say something to you you should [ __ ] listen if you want to play Pick Your pronouns then you should have an option to not enter pronoun yes agreed a hundred percent the fact that they force you to do it is the problem they’re forcing you to do it listen I know I should have been more forthcoming about who I was earlier yes wait probably all of you know by now what section we’re going into this of course is the lovely young lady who tells us that she’s a clone of a guy I was really thrilled with that because current day but as it’s sci-fi and this has been done before yes it has been done before it’s been done before when gender ideology wasn’t run down our throats in every single solitary area that we went to so if you think this isn’t put in because of that I got news for you so let’s pick it up just a touch later from one of their most receptive tacticians as dead he’s done it’s just gonna sit there he’s like I don’t care I’m just gonna go to sleep right now I need him to pick up [ __ ] before I haven’t seen this yet please okay dude what did you say oh oh look you’re a clone of a man how does that work oh I just seriously just [ __ ] off it’s infected everywhere nerves kicking in Oh shut the [ __ ] up I’ve still got to torch them to finish them before we get up there well there’s something else I thought you should know you’re you’re you’re you’re you’re a double dude it’s you’re a double dude dicks on top of a man named Francois oh one time Fleet admiral of the UC during the college I have to go through this again I have to go through this again some days I really miss alcohol I really miss I really do miss alcohol and abusing drugs some days I’m not saying today’s one of them but uh today’s one of them I don’t give a [ __ ] oh man um space experience I just wanted you to be forward whatever you say buddy owl Chum mate I didn’t come on to this person there has been no sexual Shenanigans with this person I just thought I would say the most ridiculous thing when they said there’s something I need to tell you and obviously being a clear female I just joked you’re a dude and then they went to tell me that they are a clone of a dude I don’t have any questions no I guess don’t care the part where he burns is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen I don’t want to give everything away go check out the video link is in the description box down below and give Jeremy a subscribe and a like for that as well needless to say I just wanted my space box and the space experience and I was just getting bukakayed left right and center with current day and current day Western game and even though that got the backup of the pronoun police and of course when we say pronouns we are talking about preferred pronouns of course males and females have pronouns but we don’t have to make a big fuss about it because we can see by looking at them but the people making the most noise are likely kids and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way I literally mean that in a way that they don’t understand they’re not educated because they’ve just been targeted by this nonsense in all aspects of their education and life and that’s why people like me every once in a while get really pissed off with it because once upon a time I used to live on a normal Planet but during those 25 odd hours of gameplay I said multiple times starfield’s problems aren’t its pronouns on the creation screen and female dude clones starfield’s problem is Starfield the game to me isn’t that great and certainly doesn’t compare to the Fallout in Elder Scroll franchises the open world aspect is gone because everything is a cut scene to go to a Zone it feels very confined and limited with the vast majority of planets just being empty and Barren in trying to find your own fun you can just get lost in nothing it’s pretty dull from my perspective and if we go to Metacritic and I know the divisive nature of Metacritic however they do put absolutely tons of comments so it is interesting to read them we’ll see that Starfield has an 87 on the critic side for the PC release and 5.4 for the player base and on the Xbox series X we have an 86 critic score and a 6.1 on the customer score and if we actually look at these comments are we seeing people talking about pronouns and gender ambiguity for the most part did I destroy Starfield did I kill star field no most people are talking about the problems which Bethesda games tend to have the limited nature the engine the bugs it’s all here so people that are giving it mediocre scores terrible scores or good scores there is a lot there to be said it’s actually quite rare that you will come across somebody that will be saying that they have downloaded the game based on let’s say the content held within my rant I certainly am not putting any of this on myself to think that one person could have that effect is insanity if I could be so bold I think one of the reasons that the rant that I did went survival was as I’ve previously mentioned nothing really to do with Starfield at all it was always to do with going after their sacred cow of gender ideology and a lot of people were beginning to wake up and realize yes I’ve been noticing this in all of my entertainment be it television movie Etc video games so this really had nothing to do with Starfield from the get-go Starfield was always going to be judged based off how Bethesda created the game and with its six million players so far how’s that going to increase or decrease going forward only time will tell but I think it’s pretty evident that the jury is still very much out as regards to where star field is gonna fall in the annals of gaming history I’ll see you in the next video you take care bye for now
In the video, the speaker opens by talking about Starfield, a new game by Bethesda, that is now in full release on PC and Xbox series. Bethesda announces that Starfield has a player base of 6 million. The speaker is curious about how many of these players are using Game Pass versus those who purchased the game directly. He also discusses how this is Bethesda’s first new franchise in decades, and compares its success to other games like Final Fantasy 16 and Cyberpunk 2077.
The speaker shares his personal experience with Starfield, mentioning that he has spent around 25 hours on the game. However, he reveals his struggle and dissatisfaction with current cultural ideologies being incorporated into games. This topic had stirred controversy among YouTube channels. Particularly in Starfield, where there is a section in character creation that relates to selecting pronouns, which the speaker took an issue with.
The video further discusses a moment in Starfield where a female character reveals she’s a clone of a man. The speaker criticizes the integration of gender identity issues into the storyline. He believes the incorporation of these themes to be a reflection of modern societal conversations, rather than for the benefit of the game’s story.
The speaker feels that today’s younger generation, who have been constantly exposed to these ideologies, are the ones who are making the most noise about such issues in games, and feel targeted. The speaker feels this removes the normalcy of life and the enjoyment from the game. His criticism is not towards the content related to pronouns, but on the fact that these issues are forcefully embedded into games.
Delving deeper into his critique of Starfield, the speaker explains that his issue isn’t as much with he inclusion of topics around gender ideology, but with the game itself. He finds the gameplay dull and restrictive compared to Bethesda’s other franchises, such as Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Relating to this, he refers to Metacritic ratings, which shows a disparity between the critic and customer scores.
The speaker disputes claims of having a negative impact on Starfield’s success, asserting that one person could not have such an influence. He believes that awareness of gender ideology in entertainment or media isn’t unique to Starfield, but it’s prevalent in many forms of entertainment including movies, television, and other video games.
In closing, the speaker indicates that the success of Starfield going forward is unpredictable and will depend on Bethesda’s development and execution of their games. The speaker peaks interest in seeing how the public’s perception of Starfield will evolve, but underlines that it ultimately depends on the actual gaming experience rather than the controversies and debates around it.
