UGLY?!

It’s really a personal preference on some things. Went promoting the game they used the term NASA-punk, which is a dumb name but I get what they mean. The space travel and look in Starfield is “realistic” in a way that games like Mass Effect aren’t. Even the biggest baddest ship you can buy still has that NASA…

I’m glad you like it!

I played a lot of Skyrim, especially heavily modded. I kinda liked just running around it with Serana.

For some reason Starfield doesn’t feel the same to me, and that’s probably partly because I’m 12 years older, but I also think it’s because of the traveling. Where in Skyrim you could just walk…

It felt like Skyrim in space and I loved Skyrim so I’m not finding it boring. It’s just different from something like Baldur’s Gate 3.  Plus I can make SPACE SHIPS!!!  I tap my inner Benny from the Lego movies and go nuts 

Sea of Stars is so lovely 💜

Thanks to Gamepass I didn’t waste my money and have Sea of Stars right there.

I could get thinking this game was amazing if you come from a universe where space-set games like Mass Effect, Elite Dangerous, No Man’s Sky, and Outer Wilds, to name just a few, don’t exist at all, but I don’t know how this game passes for good, much less incredible to anyone whose played even just 10-12 hours of any…

It felt like a chore to play.

On the reverse, I also don’t get your perspective.

Oh look, some trash. 

The response to Starfield has been baffling to me. I have no idea what people wanted this game to actually be, because what it actually is is easily the best game Bethesda has made since Morrowind, and easily the best game released so far this decade.

so this is an ad, right

Yeah, there was some stuff to enjoy here but not enough to make up for the faults.

For some reason, they’ve been obsessed for many games with randomly generated content. They think it’s some magic formula that will give gamers infinite content to play (and ease some of their burden in creating it, now doubt).

It’s the least fun, most boring and empty Bethesda game to ever Bethesda game, with none of the things that made any previous Bethesda game at all enjoyable present, and all the worst aspects of their more recent garbage magnified tenfold. 

My biggest issue with Starfield is that I was bored most of the time I played. Well, not bored but barely entertained.

“Starfield is largely on rails, with occasional choices at the points of departure.”
That is all I needed to know to decide if I should buy or not.
No “living connected universe”, forced pew-pew-pew fights, lack of choices and branches in quests...
It looks not like an Action-RPG, but as an action game with RPG elements,…

Great review and mirrors my experience. It jut felt big for the sake of saying their big, with nothing interesting in between

I’ve said previously the big issue with this game, and any narrative driven open world game for that matter, is procedural generation. After all, we should all know by now what a Bethesda game experience is.

I typically love and devote countless hours to Bethesda games but I am really struggling to get into this one even though I very much want to. Because of “life”, I didn’t get to jump in until a few days ago. I now have almost 8 hours into it after 4 play sessions which I usually quit out of frustration. I read a tip…
