Disneyfication of everything we enjoy.
This is the chromatic aberration you find in video settings
Three dudes dancing in a green suit because they are behind schedule?
They’re too afraid to make it an actual rated M game so instead of cyberpunk style pleasure district we got teletubbies.
Ultimate debauchery.
They nailed it.
It’s called “the game has been in development for 8 years and cost over $400,000,000, we need to ship something ASAP.”
Drugs
You’ve obviously never been to Todd Howards mansion.
They were hoping modders would turn it all into porn and they remain “innocent”
Man… this game was my fluffer for Phantom Liberty. I kept trying to convince myself I was having “old school” fun but Neon is what made me finally throw in the towel. Having the cool Neon constant rain planet be a long boring hallway and a terrible nightclub was such a let down.
HR approved night club
Nothing. They weren’t thinking anything.
Because Starfield was designed to be as safe for everyone as possible by people with no creativity. Getting to Neon especially was so disappointing.
Like, even the signage everywhere in the game is awful. It looks so plain, like something someone new to computing put together in MS word in 10 minutes.
Because the entire game is agressively PG-12 so the nightclub can’t actually show anything. For some reason they claimed the game is full on PG-18 during marketing though. Just why?
pleasure has got to be one of my favorite genders.
My thing has always been like – I feel it in my bones that this is just one or a few of the developers dancing with mocap. Which causes one to ask, “couldn’t you have hired professional dancers for this? Or perhaps anyone at all who knows how to not dance like McLovin from Superbad?”
Total virgin cheesenerd aesthetic (I have no idea what this means so don’t ask)
“What if we made a sexy club equivalent of how people look when they play video games on tv shows”.
I’m sure this is for someone. Not sure who but there’s a lot of people out there
They laid off all the mocap actors so those are two programmers and a janitor jk
Teletubby dance party.
Trying to be super wacky weird space weirdness but also extremely safe. It would work if anything else in the game had super weird fashion like that, but most outfits look either totally modern or like a western movie.
It takes me out of the scene since it does not look like something that anyone attending the place would find appealing, even in the far future.
It’s a nightclub designed by people way too uncool to ever really be in a nightclub. It’s like what a 40 year old virgin from the midwest thinks a big city nightclub looks like.
Lazy and embarrassing like the rest of the game…
This is what Todd Howard thinks about whenever he’s feelin’ a bit randy.
It just works
What was Bethesda going for with Starfield?
The amount of copium in the Starfield sub Reddit arguing over this hurt my brain.
I pointed out how insane it is that a bunch of real adults sat around a board room and collectively agreed that this was a great idea.
Holy shit balls did they attack me for it lmao. Even had people saying i had clearly never been to a real club.
Something that offends everyone. Top notch inclusion.
The Skyrim Shuffle.
Hm, there’s a lid for every pot.
This is the “Kidz Bop” of Cyberpunk 2077
I’m still convinced they wanted to go for a 12+ rating but couldn’t get it.
That’s why everything in this game is “Meh” or just plain bad.
At least the Ship Building is kinda fun; but that’s about it.
