I’ve been playing Starfield since launch, and in the beginning I LOVED the game. It seemed like there was so much to explore and do, I felt absolutely overwhelmed.
The game I had been waiting for was here and it was SICK.
Until now.
After beating the game, doing NG+s and doing general role-play; this game is just empty.
Every planet: 98% the same
Every random location: 100% the same
Loot in containers: Always garbage
Unique weapons: N O N E
Crafting systems: basic yet, EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED
Weapon Upgrade: ??? HAHAHAHAHA
Flying: Okay, this is the best part of the game
Fast Traveling: L O A D I N G S C R E E N S
Vendors: Less credits than one gun sells for
It just feels like all this game exists of is 12 different guns, 12 different random locations, 12 different geological features, 12 different biomes, 12 different forms of weather and a SMALL handful of unique and hand build locations that, to top it off: EXISTS AMONGST HUNDREDS OF PLANETS.
I want to play the game. My mouse is hovering over it right now. But I can’t bring myself to click it.
SINCE PEOPLE ARE ASKING: TIME PLAYED: 17d 22h 53m
It’s a Bethesda game put it on a shelf for two years to give them time to actually finish it and for modders to make it great. Some parts of the game like Outposts, NG+, Space Fights, Trading, Inventory Management, and Exploration are just half baked right now.
This game has the bones to be amazing but it needs a lot more meat on it… so give them some time to work on it.
Already there’s a modder that discovered unused code in the game to have player built space stations. The Sim Settlements dev from fo4 is mulling over possibly developing an analog for starfield.
Just give it time. Bethesda released a sandbox. Modders will fill it with toys
