    Everything in Starfield feels like more clicking through (horribly outdated) menus and inventory screens. Between those and the loading screens, the only time the game is really fun is when you’re shooting pirates. But there are games that do that part much much better.

    This is just a summary of modern Bethesda games in a nutshell, except forgetting to mention bugs as well.

    I really don’t know what people where expecting with Starfield

        I think Microsoft can be thanked for that. They buckled down and lent their support to make sure Starfield didn’t have constant crashes and backwards flying spaceships and whatnot.

      I could understand expecting improvements before they actually showed the game off; but after the very first gameplay reveal, it should have been pretty obvious to anyone familiar with BGS that it was going to be the same as Skyrim and Fallout 4, but with a different aesthetic and theme.

      Everything Starfield does to blow my expectations is that it’s surprisingly stable and bug free. I’m playing it with a 1660 Super and it’s actually playable (I mean, only 30 fps when outside); the card isn’t even supported! Fallout 4 wasn’t even playable at launch (single digit fps when anywhere near Boston) and I had the recommended specs for it.
