I agree with you, while adding that the lack of depth, especially in space exploration, economy and combat made it that much more disappointing. Like the groundwork is there, you should be able to hire pilots or have you companions run planet bases for you, but no. At least, when I played you couldn’t do that.
I’m a big sci-fi nerd, and the primary quest was so, so good in my opinion. I tried out the base building feature and it really felt worthless, but the combat and story are so really fun.
I was thinking the other day that people were bashing it for the space navigation and I remembered that Mass Effect didn’t let you pilot shit or even pick where to go or explore a huge planet and still was so so good.
Still not attracted because what ME was an engrossing story and amazing cast, which Bethesda never ever did in any of the games I liked. So… yeah.
But I sure hope people who took the plunge will get their money’s worth!
100% agree, there’s lots to love. I admit that it has a lot of failings and they totally over promised what the game was going to be. But the way people talk you’d think it was an actual bad game.
So what do you like about it and what do you dislike about it? I haven’t tried it yet, might pick it up when it costs about as much as a hamburger with fries, but probably not before.
It’s a tale as old as the game industry itself: The company releases an okay game, everyone goes “hell yeah, a solid 7/10”. …except by now everyone expects the company to make nothing but absolute masterpieces.
It’s an okay game with lots of little janky bits I don’t like (surprising in sense that I of course expected there to be some jank, this is Bethesda we’re talking about). The game seems to be amusing enough that I enjoy my time while playing it, but it doesn’t have the magic sauce that would make me eagerly get back to the game the next day.
I like starfield. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but I think the amount of shit it gets is unwarranted.

90% of it is people who never played the game and just love shitting on bethesda
its quite like the hate kirk cousins gets, its usually from people who dont watch him play
I don’t know I read comments like this and can only think you haven’t played too many games…
Idk, your comment sounds like you’re horrified that people enjoy different thing
You’re entitled to be wrong
Same to you.
Lol
Glad you’re laughing, i’m worrying your life is so dull that you think people must be dull like you.
Edit: Nice, dude just message me and called me the R word.
Nice projection. Don’t you have a life to attend? No? Figures. Blocking you now, removed.
Good lol.
