1 hour in and bored as hell.

[ShaneyD]

If the first hour is a test of the game going forward, it will be a chore to play. Its so boring...

[sleepygaymer]

Trust me it gets MUCH better. I'm about 10 hours in and I had to force myself to go to bed.

[Daniel]

It doesnt get any better, 5 hours in and its just a loading screen simulator

[Stephen]

Ok lets give it a 9/10

[Astronaute]

It takes at least 2h and 1mn to enjoy the game (and you know... be past the refund window on steam)
I refunded after watching shroud’s stream, it was obvious that the game was boring, empty and not optimized

If you like the game as is then that's great you but it seems the overwhelming majority got burned. I appreciate their commitment to early release as it saved my $70-$100.

Yeah, and here I was complaining about it not more than a few days ago. But I can admit when I'm wrong, and boy was I wrong. I don't even think it's worth $20 now, boy am I glad I don't pre-order anything. But this is one I can easily miss and lose no sleep over. I think I'll stick to Fallout 4.

Hopefully when I do decide to buy it if at all it will be at a Steam Sale (December?) and only if there's been an actual good patch to remedy the long laundry list of issues reported here in the forums.

Yeah, I might get it as well, but it wont be until it's at a cheaper price than the far superior Empyrion.

It's weird how underwhelming the first part of the game is. Most of their single player titles start with more bang and gravitas. But, I don't know if it's just me, but the intro 'reveal' moment / cutscene was super quick and didn't really give any emotional impact. So, despite that, the whole scenario just feels like a noobs day on the job.

Also, for me, the enemy attack (trying to be vague here) sequence or event early on, just like... started and then immediately ended. So, no real build up there.

The early encounters are easy to deal with, and there is no stress on the player like a damaged subsystem to repair or a grievous wound to heal that oould have spiced up the otherwise tutorial section.

Once I got to the first settlement, I finally felt like exploring, but due to performance issues, called it a night.

If only that initial reveal cutscene had been something interesting and path-setting. Something intriguing and motivating.. .but instead it was brief and kind of pointless.

Weird how they would have just said "yeah, ok, this is compelling enough of an intro"
anyhooo.

This is hillariously accurate.

I feel like this game is too big to fail. Too many people got too hyped up and won't be willing to admit the truth. I'm even struggling to admit to myself that this game over promised and under delivered. Its just dull. But i feel like maybe i'm missing something because i've been told by the media i should be enjoying this.

Yet here i am with a day off work and a long weekend ahead of me and i'm already eyeing up other titles in my backlog over loading this game up.

play the first enemy attach on very hard it will last enough for you to enjoy it than you can lower difficulty later on otherwise all other people kill everything before you can understand what to do.

[Heretic]

Yeah man, I didn't get thirty headshots in 5 minutes and see 193 explosions with 445 ragdolling npcs. For real straight bussin no cap fam lit

This game is getting worse the more I'm playing. -- I appealed a refund, but still played a copy off Gamepass from my friend.

I literally encountered the exact same abandoned medical building, four times in a row on four completely different planets. -- I just did a quest that made me go to a different planet and gather an item, guess what? It's LITERALLY the same abandoned medical building.

The same layout, the same enemies, the same positioning of enemies and even the same damn loot, like wth. The randomly procedure for planets and PoI is so lackluster. -- I also got my first broken questline which is literally a key character off a faction I've joined. -- He just floats within the base, going through the roof into space.

The moment this occurred, some NPCs started sinking into the floor of my ship down into space and I can't reach them anymore. Wth is going on with this game? Almost a decade of development for this?

This is the worst intro Bethesda has done for their game(s).
Previous titles were so much more fun, up to the point where I spent more time in the vault for F3 for the longest time before leaving.

Starfield's intro is so weak and makes so much less sense. You touch a rock, a stranger appears and you're forced into doing what he says.

Oh, he immediately gives you his ship, right off the bat because you touched a rock. He fully trusts you and you're forced to just obey.

Oh.. and they expect you to immediately wipe out a gang on seperated planet, getting rid of them all alone to ruin their base.

Like what..?

[VonFIDDE]

Struggle as well, looking forward Cyberpunk expansion now. Not sure i will finish Starfield it's just too boring and meh.

Agreed. But the really funny thing is that some people are attempting to 'lord the game over us' in defense of their getting scammed.

It's like, how the hell are we going to be jealous of getting ripped off for $100? If anything they are grasping at so many straws in their shattering delusion, that they are turning their jealously of us not getting scammed, into thinking that we can be convinced to be jealous of them getting scammed.

The shear stupidity of it all is mind boggling.
