The more of you that I inspect, the more of you I see you
0:12
reflect. The more I try it, raise your
0:17
lips, the more the mask you wear.
0:20
It rips the greatest Seek out your voice.
0:24
My ears so cool with noise. You show and tell me the
0:30
greatest sees. Oh, hello, ladies and gentlemen.
0:52
My name is Brett Keene and you are watching listening to The
0:54
Brett Keene Show. It's official, folks.
0:58
Todd Howard is a corporate shell.
1:01
He is a absolute liar, absolute garbage of the person for what
1:06
he's done. I think a lot of us know by now
1:10
that the reason why he hyped up Starfield was because he was in
1:16
a merger with Microsoft Xbox. And he wanted his company.
1:22
His company rode on a lot of things.
1:25
One, they weren't no longer working with Sony and they
1:29
needed to do something big. But Todd Howard didn't have
1:34
anything big. There was nothing great going
1:37
on. In fact, for many, many years,
1:40
no game, no actual decent game was produced by Todd Howard
1:46
since Fallout 4. There was Red Fall, but that
1:51
game was dead on arrival. Then there was Fallout 76, which
1:56
was pretty much a copy and paste job of Fallout 4 where they just
2:01
copied like assets from the game and then claimed that you'd be
2:05
able to play with your friends if you ever played Fallout 76.
2:10
And you would know that immediately on launch.
2:13
There were tons of glitches and bugs.
2:15
They didn't even care enough to make the game.
2:19
Playable whenever it first came out.
2:21
And because modders couldn't get into the game, they couldn't fix
2:26
the problems or the bugs or the glitches.
2:28
And some of those bugs and glitches lasted for years.
2:31
Some of them still exist today. I remember when I first played
2:36
Fallout 76, I had just gotten away from Fallout 4.
2:42
Literally. I was taking a break from
2:44
Fallout 4 and I was like, OK. Wow, this is gonna be a massive
2:48
world. He claimed that it was gonna be
2:50
8. The map was gonna be 8 times
2:52
bigger than Fallout 4. So I come into the world and I
2:56
find myself in a place where there's nothing.
3:00
There's no, no people. The whole thing was I was just
3:05
supposed to collect tape and garbage and everything.
3:08
There was hardly no animals or creatures in it either.
3:12
The game had roughly about 10 monsters at the most in the
3:16
supposed giant map that it has a lot like Starfield.
3:21
You visit a planet, and apparently planets are only able
3:25
to produce four types of flowers and four types of creatures on
3:29
the majority of them. Well, that's exactly the state
3:32
that Fallout 76 was in. The same could be said about
3:36
Fallout 4, but Fallout 4 had a little bit of a story to it, had
3:40
a little bit of a motivation. Save your kidnapped son.
3:44
You're basically getting vengeance for the death of your
3:46
wife, unless you were a modder like myself or downloaded mods.
3:51
Then you could save your wife and have her as a companion and
3:56
you could run around a world and it always felt like something
3:59
was new and different. You didn't ever feel like you
4:02
were running through a copy and paste environment, is where
4:06
Fallout 76. Felt totally copyrighted.
4:10
Not copyrighted, but copy and pasted.
4:12
It was boring as shit. And the make matters worse, this
4:19
asshole right here actually thought it would be a good idea
4:21
to make a video game that doesn't have any NPCS in it.
4:25
That's right. So there's no story, there's no
4:28
nothing. You just get released from a
4:30
vault. And you're in an absolutely
4:33
empty world where there's nobody in it.
4:35
And I guess he figured because people would be able to run
4:38
around with each other, they would enjoy just collecting tape
4:42
all day and listening to each other on a scratchy mic and all
4:47
that kind of shit. I don't know.
4:48
I don't know what was going through this fucking man's head.
4:51
What's weird is. Todd Howard and Bethesda had the
4:57
ability to go back and look at why it was Morrowind was
5:01
successful, why it was Fallout 3 in Vegas and Skyrim were such a
5:07
big games and two people why they meant so much?
5:13
Did they actually think that Skyrim would have been
5:16
interesting if they didn't put the NPCS in the game?
5:20
Did they actually think a game like Skyrim would have been
5:23
interesting if all you did all day was fucking collect tape and
5:26
build a settlement for dead settlers that don't exist to
5:31
have no goals or any kind of quest whatsoever?
5:34
This is, does he actually think that whenever he looks back on
5:38
Skyrim, Oblivion, another game where you felt like you were
5:45
really, really immersed into a story?
5:48
These were games where, even though they were ugly, they were
5:51
revolutionary during the time they came out.
5:55
During the time they came out, you just felt like you were an
5:58
entirely different world, like it was a world that was real.
6:03
It was good. You actually felt like you had a
6:06
goal. But Bethesda also had a lot of
6:10
problems, too, because the idea that they sold to the community
6:14
was These were supposed to be immersive games.
6:18
But as they later continued, it became more and more about copy
6:21
paste worlds and areas together that look exactly the same.
6:27
You could see the same rock formations, the same clutter
6:30
trees, the same shit, and either there was no NPCS and things
6:37
were absolutely barren or they started bringing in NPCS and
6:41
these were just long winded people just to give the illusion
6:46
that. Something was going on when it
6:48
actually wasn't. I remember thinking to myself,
6:56
they're not going to blow this, are they?
6:59
Are they going to ruin their entire reputation?
7:02
Because Bethesda was built to pardon games like Morrowind.
7:05
It was built on Elder Scrolls. It was built on the Fallout
7:09
franchise. And now it feels like what
7:12
happened to Stall wars and Indiana Jones and all this shit
7:16
where things just got put out just for money and just for the
7:20
purpose of a corporation getting bigger.
7:23
And you can tell that there's a lot of culture elements in
7:27
Starfield that we're not in prior games as though they had a
7:32
political agenda or that they were being paid to make sure
7:36
that they. Confront all the bullshit that
7:40
you go through and a lot of gamers got mad about this.
7:42
Like a lot of people are accusing Starfield of being
7:45
woke, and it is The moment you get into the game, you've got
7:50
the independent, strong woman who talks down to men as though
7:55
they're dumb and that they wouldn't be able to do their
7:58
fucking job unless they had a woman standing over them yelling
8:01
at them. And of course she was Asian.
8:04
Had to be that. Then they go on to basically
8:08
throwing you into this thing where it just feels like it's
8:12
all rushed together. You're doing pronouns in this
8:17
game. Everybody looks Asian, Everybody
8:20
looks, has the whole diversity thing just really, it's so
8:25
thrown into your face it's impossible to miss it.
8:28
It's impossible for you to walk through Atlantis and not say
8:33
that that's not the case. Every leader in the game is some
8:39
woman who is talking down to you or trashing you or whatever.
8:43
This is, unfortunately the woke's interpretation of what a
8:47
woman is. Women are not pretty anymore.
8:50
They're not feminine. They're not nurture, nurturing.
8:55
Now they're women are mean ass corporate men according to the
9:00
woke people and also. Everybody's got the fucking pink
9:06
and green and purple type hair and all that shit.
9:09
For whatever reason, everybody looks like goblins and shit.
9:12
Have you noticed that when you're playing the video game,
9:15
everybody's fucking staring at you?
9:18
What? Why is that?
9:19
What was the designer thinking whenever he said to himself, you
9:23
know, all these people have dead eyes.
9:26
Let's have them all stare at the guy who got off the ship as
9:30
though you're important. See the thing about?
9:33
Elder Scrolls and Fallout is Nobody knows who you are.
9:38
Nobody has any reason to talk to you.
9:40
While you're going to Atlantis. You're supposed to be a nobody,
9:44
a no name who builds himself up to his skills and
9:48
accomplishments, and before he's noticed.
9:52
But right off the bat, the game wants you to think all this.
9:56
Even the quests themselves are copied and pasted, like go get
9:59
the artifact, they all look the same.
10:02
There's like 20 something artifacts, and it all does the
10:06
same thing. You run through a point of
10:08
interest, you find the artifact, you bring it back back and
10:12
forth, back and forth, and then finally they start telling you
10:15
to do another copy and paste scenario where you're going to
10:18
temples over and over and over and over and you got to jump to
10:22
a bunch of hoops, literally, that are supposed to be stars.
10:29
I really. I guess the thing that really
10:31
got me hyped up is that I knew that Bethesda was on their last
10:35
leg. I knew that they had taken so
10:38
long to produce anything worth the shit that this had to be
10:43
their big baby or Bethesda was over that it was the end of it.
10:48
And Bethesda probably realized that too.
10:51
They screwed up with Fallout 76. They.
10:53
Released games in the past that had tons of glitches that made
10:57
their games unplayable and broken, but it was the modders
11:01
who came along and actually added more content.
11:05
Actually cleaned it up, balanced out the game, made the combat
11:09
feel better, added more animals and creatures.
11:14
There's literally a modern Nexus that adds over 1000 different
11:18
animals and creatures into the world of Fallout 4.
11:22
Into the Commonwealth, you can go places and see squirrels on
11:27
trees. You'll see birds flying around.
11:29
You'll, besides the fake ass, play DoH crows or Ravens that
11:33
they put in the original game. One thing about Fallout 4 and
11:39
Elder Scrolls that Starfield doesn't have, which many of you
11:43
may not have noticed, is that when you go into Elder Scrolls,
11:46
you're going to be talking to elves.
11:48
You're going to be talking to creatures that are totally
11:52
unique. You're going to be talking to
11:53
cat people and shit and Starfield.
11:57
There is no other kind of race, It's all humans.
12:01
There's a couple ugly, badly generated, pre generated
12:06
creatures that are on worlds and shit, but that's it.
12:11
There was no love put into it and it's one of the reasons why
12:15
a lot of people are saying the game has no soul.
12:18
It doesn't. And what's really sad is I
12:20
wanted it to. I figured Bethesda wants to
12:24
impress the shit out of Microsoft.
12:25
It wants to sell the game. Well, Todd Howard succeeded at
12:30
selling an unbelievable amount of games, but the only reason
12:34
why the game sold so well and is considered, you know, high in
12:38
the ratings of a bought game is because we all.
12:44
Figured that Todd Howard was going to get it right this time,
12:46
so we trusted him and we bought it.
12:49
He came out on stage several times and he talked about how
12:53
great this game is going to be, that it's going to totally blow
12:55
Skyrim and fall out of the water, that it's going to be
12:59
immersive and you're going to be able to explore.
13:02
How the fuck does he know that we're going to be exploring
13:05
anything if everything is pre generated?
13:08
This shit doesn't just magically pre generate itself, it has to
13:11
be programmed to do that. And what it's doing is it's
13:15
simply taking a planet and then copy and pasting different
13:20
colored textures into the environment.
13:22
It's the same world, just different colors.
13:26
That's not, that's not change. So what now?
13:32
The Bush is purple instead of green like it normally should
13:35
be. There's there's nothing going on
13:37
and you don't feel as though. How do I put this?
13:43
Why would you create a game about space where you don't even
13:47
spend time in space? Unless you're like having a like
13:51
a stupid ass conversation with some person you've hailed, which
13:55
is usually a character that is wanting something from you.
13:59
Or they're warning you that there's a ship battle coming up,
14:03
and that's really all that space involves in this game is
14:07
shooting other fucking. Chips.
14:12
That's it. There's no exploration of space.
14:16
You go down on a planet, you are met with a copy and paste deal,
14:20
and then on top of it the game does something really, really
14:24
stupid that they shouldn't have. See, Bethesda could have got
14:28
away with a bunch of bullshit for a long time, hadn't they
14:31
ruined the illusion for you? Do you remember when you're
14:34
playing Fallout in Skyrim? And you're going forward and you
14:38
have absolutely no idea what is going to be ahead of you.
14:43
If you run 500 miles or you run for about 5 minutes, you don't
14:49
know what you're going to run into.
14:51
You don't know if you're going to run into a structure or a
14:54
cave or something like that. You find it on your own.
14:58
That's the whole point of exploring is you find shit on
15:00
your own in Starfield the moment you land.
15:06
Supposedly your scanner tells you that there's a structure off
15:09
in the distance, that there's a cave, that there's a natural
15:13
thing, there's a symbol for natural and you'll have to run a
15:17
long, long fucking distance. Have you guys heard their excuse
15:21
on why it is they think that you should run through a pre
15:23
generated world 500 miles. You're in the future ladies and
15:30
gentlemen. This is hundreds of years in the
15:32
future but they don't believe in Rovers.
15:35
They don't believe in transportation or driving
15:37
anything. Your guy is just going to get
15:40
out of it. He's going to land as far away
15:42
from the fucking objects as possible and then run you to the
15:47
point where they know that you just have a little bit enough
15:49
weight to be able to carry some items and shit.
15:53
And it's all the same kind of items.
15:56
That's what's fucking amazing to me, ladies and gentlemen.
15:58
No matter where I go, I have no innovation or initiative.
16:05
On why I should open unlock a fucking box or why I should go
16:09
into a door. I know damn well there ain't
16:12
nothing going to be on the other side.
16:14
I know damn well that if I continue to run, I'm already
16:18
going to know exactly what's off in the distance.
16:20
Because the fucking game is telling me before I even get
16:23
there. It's just telling me that in
16:25
order to get to a copy and paste point of interest, that is
16:30
basically another copy paste of point of interest.
16:34
I got to keep running and running and running and I get
16:38
there and there'll be nothing new.
16:40
Nothing. I can't believe how limited the
16:47
shipbuilding is too. They basically tell you, Oh
16:52
yeah, you can only do this kind of shit and everything, and you
16:55
got to have this many points. See when you played Skyrim in
16:59
Fallout. You felt as though it made
17:02
sense, as though it flowed when you were putting your skill
17:05
points in. You could imagine to yourself
17:07
that you're getting stronger and stronger.
17:10
But this game is telling you that in order to be able to have
17:13
more crew members, you have to fill up an entire persuasion
17:17
thing. Really, In order for me to have
17:20
more crew members, I have to be a fucking master of talking and
17:25
socializing. Seriously.
17:30
See, Fallout allowed you to say at the very beginning of the
17:33
game you got to put points in where you thought that you would
17:36
be most effective. But this was a cookie cutter
17:40
type of skill tree that they had in space field.
17:42
So now our * field and you can't.
17:46
You have to basically put points in the shit that you don't want
17:49
to do. If you put enough in Charisma,
17:52
then you'll be put in that in Fallout. 76, Fallout 4, Skyrim,
17:57
Oblivion, Morrowind. All these games are like that.
18:00
Even Elder Scrolls Online didn't make the stupid fucking mistake
18:03
of doing that. It should be.
18:07
The more I use a certain gun, the more I scale up in that
18:11
shed. Not that I have to actually
18:13
choose the option and then my character will suddenly start
18:17
doing something. Why is it that outpost?
18:21
Settings are way at the bottom of the skill tree.
18:24
That doesn't make any sense. Why would I need to have points
18:28
and outposts whenever you know that you've got other people who
18:32
are going to be staying there the whole time while you're
18:33
running off to Inquest? The crafting system's fucking
18:40
horrible too. I feel like I don't know how
18:44
many of you ever played like The Sims before.
18:48
But The Sims was a game where it got good and then it got better.
18:52
When it did Sims 2 and then Sims 3, it came to its climax like
18:58
World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft had the first
19:01
one, then they had their Burning Crusade and then they had their
19:03
Lich King and it was like bam, this is great.
19:07
And then suddenly the companies became greedy and they put a
19:11
Sims 4 out and they removed tons of features.
19:15
And it was no longer an open world anymore, and lots of
19:19
things were fucking missing everything and it felt lifeless
19:24
without a soul. And the reason why is because
19:26
the game was designed specifically to sell, and the
19:30
company made an agreement that we're going to send out a
19:34
stripped, broken game, and then later we'll sell expansion packs
19:39
and DLCS and shit, they basically stripped the game.
19:43
And tell you that in order to be able to have the complete game,
19:47
you're going to have to spend 50 to 30 more fucking dollars in
19:51
order to add stuff that should have already been in that was
19:54
already priorly in the other games.
19:57
You see what I'm saying? It's a fucking joke.
20:00
It's a shill. And Bethesda has finally sold
20:04
their soul. They said we're not going to
20:06
make exploration games anymore, we're just going to do a copy
20:09
paste Minecraft type of deal. And if people want more than,
20:14
they'll just have to wait on us to get off our lazy asses and
20:18
create a modding service so people can get in there and
20:22
fucking make the game more interesting.
20:24
That's what they're banking on. But I think the original idea
20:28
was, how can we sell this product and save Xbox?
20:32
Because Xbox was competing against PS5, and they're also
20:38
going against the Steam deck and all kinds of shit in the Steam
20:41
console. So they had to do something big.
20:45
They were putting all their eggs in one basket because they said
20:47
we're no longer working with Sony anymore, we're going to go
20:50
straight up Microsoft. So we got to go big.
20:56
So what have they done? They decided to tell you, Oh
21:01
yeah, we've got all kinds of games that we're making.
21:04
We got Elder Scrolls coming, We got a Fallout 5 coming, all this
21:09
shit, but it'll be years down the road.
21:13
I'm almost 50 years old, people. I don't want to wait.
21:16
Fuck five years. And besides, I already know that
21:19
even if they weren't lying and they decide to put those games
21:22
out, it'll take forever for monitors to be able to get
21:26
around to getting into that shit.
21:29
Starkill was supposed to be my baby.
21:31
It was supposed to be the game that I the final game that I
21:35
bought so that I can just go and have a really, really good time
21:40
and kind of immerse and live myself in a game.
21:43
I've been saying that over and over before the game released,
21:47
but I had no idea that they were going to fuck people so hard
21:51
that they basically said let's send a stripped out game.
21:55
That is, you just talk to a long winded person, go to another
21:59
long winded person and that's the quest and it would be a
22:02
succession of redundant, repetitive, radiant quest.
22:07
Go do this, come back, go do this, come back.
22:13
Apparently in the future you don't have the ability to just
22:17
simply get on your ship that is a technological masterpiece and
22:21
just simply click a button in your ship to find quest in the
22:26
area. And apparently when you're
22:29
walking through cities, everybody in the world knows you
22:32
because for some reason the guards, when they see you, they
22:36
tell you about everything that's wrong with the city and you're
22:39
expected to fix it. And when I say broken and needs
22:43
fixing, I'm talking about Quest. Like, go get me some coffee, go
22:50
go talk to the parents, go click some switches in the well, this
22:55
kind of shit. Oh God, what a what a horrible
23:01
thing. It's so weird because Todd
23:09
Howard has been around for years and so has Bethesda, and they
23:14
could have just easily went back and looked at what what it was
23:19
about Skyrim that was magical for people.
23:23
They could have looked at Morrowind fall out and said this
23:29
is what people want, this is what people like.
23:36
Have you noticed, ladies and gentlemen, and this is the last
23:38
thing I got to say about it. I've already done a pretty
23:41
extensive criticism of Starfield in a prior video, but if you
23:48
notice that Bethesda has laid off a lot of people, or
23:51
supposedly these people left after Starfield was created,
23:55
they retired. Of course they retired.
23:59
They made a huge amount of money and on top of that some of them
24:03
actually were disappointed and sad because Todd Howard
24:07
manufactured or basically pre generated lies to the public so
24:12
he could sell a game to save Xbox and they had no plans of
24:18
actually ever releasing a game that was good.
24:21
The biggest lie they told was this game has been worked on for
24:26
25 years. Really 25 years.
24:31
This is 25 years of work. Are you kidding me?
24:37
The house is basically, I don't know if any of you know this,
24:40
but if you're playing Fallout 4, there's a mob that you can get
24:44
where it gives the appearance that you're in a helicopter and
24:48
then you're ported somewhere, but the helicopter doesn't
24:51
actually go anywhere. It gives the appearance that you
24:53
can look out a window and that you can look out a hole, but
24:57
it's not actually doing anything.
24:59
It's teleporting you to another fucking box, basically another
25:04
part of the graph. It's an illusion.
25:07
It gives you the idea that you're somewhere that you're not
25:12
and that's what they've done. They basically the game is load
25:16
screen after load screen and the animation illusions.
25:20
It gives you the idea that you're actually going up and
25:23
going down and shit when you're not.
25:29
All right, that's that. I'm really disgusted with this
25:36
and I one of the other things to one last thing I want to say
25:39
before I shut this down. It's been over a month and a
25:43
half now since Starfield was released.
25:46
They claimed that they were going to do some quality of life
25:50
changes to the game, and one of those quality of life changes
25:53
was a fucking eat button ladies and gentlemen.
25:56
It's where you don't have to put a bunch of bullshit in your
25:59
inventory and then have to remind yourself to go through
26:01
all the crap in order to eat some food in the game.
26:05
There's supposed to be a button where you could eat it right off
26:08
the damn table. It's been a month and a half and
26:12
they still haven't put that in, and it makes you think.
26:17
If they are so slow at doing something like that, imagine how
26:22
fucking horrible it's got to be. For anything else, Bethesda's
26:27
got really shitty riders and they've got people who are
26:32
apparently not testing the game out before it's released.
26:39
It's just it's dead dead in the water.
26:42
And I'll never trust Todd Howard again.
26:44
I'll never trust anything. This fucking guy says he's now
26:48
become corporate. He doesn't give a fuck about the
26:50
gamer and the experience they make.
26:53
People pay $100 to play a copy paste fucking game.
26:57
That's robbery. That's theft.
26:59
It's a scam.
