Oblivion is better

[Tyrannus]

Seriously, what happened to the exploration? For a game whose story is focused around 'exploring', and with a universe as vast as Starfield claims to have, you'd think the exploration would actually be good. But it's not. Just empty, baren planets with nothing on them except the occasional cave (also empty) and some worthless rocks that you can mine for no purpose.

It's sad when a 20 year old game is actually better with more content than a brand new game that's 200GB. What the hell happened, Bethesda?

[RWND]

You're literally comparing a game that has not even launched yet to Oblivion, a game that has 10 dlcs released with thousands of mods and patches

If you wanna go that way, you should compare it when Oblivion launched, you will lose every argument.

Slow down there chief, I didn't mention anything about mods or DLC, did I? In fact, the base game 1.0 version of Oblivion puts Starfield to SHAME. There is simply NO CONTENT in starfield. 200 gigabytes of NOTHING.

Bad bait, no jester award for you.

Bethesda tried to fit "RPG" and "Space-Exploration" in the same game, and ended up with a bang average RPG containing bad space-exploration mechanics.

This is basically "The Outer Worlds: Bethesda Edition", it's nowhere near the standards of Bethesda RPGs ( Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim ), yet it's also a subpar space game that doesn't have the amount of "space" content of No Man's Sky or Starsector.

Makes me worried for TES 6.

I can tell you've been mining a lot of them copium deposits lately in Starfield.
But no, seriously, I'm not baiting anything, the game is just boring and empty in reality. It's sad that you have to intentionally misinterpret in order to cope.
So far you have no argument, so I guess the official consensus is that yes, the game is completely empty. I was hoping you would actually prove me wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong, so...

[Good Night Owl]

Why do these arguments keep coming from people who don't even own the damn game?

[Dailao]

Careful your nostalgy is showing.

I agree, the game is very mediocre, but comparing to a 20 year old that has received multiple patches to a game that has not even released is plain stupid.

Technically that's 84gb of nothing because I have 116GB showing installed, and 20 hours in I've only just started mission 4 of the main quest. There's just so much "nothing" here it's amazing!

I haven't done a ton of research on the development process of Starfield, but this game's environment gives off strong 'procedurally generated' vibes. Probably a core reason why it's so dang empty. Back in the day, TES and Fallout games, everything was hand placed and designed.

Oblivion is a legendary game man. It's even better then Skyrim by miles away.
