I honestly, am tired of these post.
What's the point of the NPCs being spread a out across a galaxy if they're just procedurally generated wastelands with a few POIs? The game looks no better than cyberpunk and runs worse. I know that will probably improve, but this game didn't even try to launch on the old hardware of xbone and ps4. CD project red also didn't have Microsoft standing behind them. This game isn't groundbreaking at all.

Nobody is expecting unlimited planetary exploration, that is a literal straw man. We've known for months there wouldn't be no seamless landings and load screens.

But nonetheless Bethesda claimed people would "unprecedented freedom" to explore a thousand planets and that "basically do anything you want with your spaceship," and that you could visit any area of a planet.

Those are direct quotations; I'm not paraphrasing.

We knew there would be tiles and landing zones and load screens and no seamless landings.

But even some of the more cynical speculations expected there to be some kind of linear continuity between the tiles. For instance you should be able to see a large skyline from a nearby tile if you're near a city.

The fact that there is no vehicular travel and that you can only walk about 15 minutes and any given direction is more limiting than people expected.

Didn't want unlimited exploration of planets I just thought I might be able to explore for 30 or 40 minutes or 20 or 30 mi of in-game territory without invisible walls

No i think the game is pretty bad actually. The game also has no soul or identity. There's way better shooters, way better base-builders, way better narrative games, and way better exploration games out there, that are actually fun.

Now what? So youve said publicly you dislike the game. Now what?

Just needed to vent? or what?

Just leave a review. Oh wait.. you dont own it on steam. Maybe go leave a review on whatever platform you played it on.

A bad game should not be having such an emotional impact on you. You’re probably better off playing other games and trying not to think about this one.

No. The game play loop for end game is hot trash. Makes me glad I dropped it after 40 hours. I would have been livid to get to the end and realize all my explorations, surveys, and companionship quests, ship building, outposts were all pointless. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on Todd and Bethesda to lock content behind NG+. So much for exploring and playing the game how you want

When you get to NG+ all the surveys, money, base and ship building/customization is wiped when you enter the new universe. You keep your level, powers, and skills. You can refuse to do NG+ but you miss out on story and content.


The ending of Starfield is literally the ending of No Man's Sky, except in No Man's Sky you get to keep everything you worked for thus far and can even go back to the previous universe.

And the best part? You need to do the NG+ 10 times to get the best armor and ship.

Like you have to try to enjoy to fit entire Todd when you play NG++++++++++++++

I had 0 expectations of this game. I followed none of the marketing outside of the announcement a few years ago at E3. I found it on the game pass and said "oh wait, I remember this title." Then downloaded it.

I was bored to tears. The game made me feel like I was on auto pilot and I was more interested in my girlfriends new Sim she made than the story I was playing.

We are all well aware you don't like the game..... yet you still feel the need to start yet a THIRD thread on this topic? What's wrong with the other two???

We expected Skyrim in space, their marketing said Skyrim in space, we did not get Skyrim in space. This is a really shill take.

And I note you didn't even come close to answering the question. Just another useless rant.

The game is bad. There are some cool things with it, but it's obvious the lead director was focused on other subjects than producing a Fun game. I can make a list with 20 core features that are entirely flawed with this game.

Being that people feel the need to "defend" it is more concerning than someone not liking it. The people who don't like it are simply expressing the shortcomings whereas those defending it are trying to encourage people to purchase it. I could care if people purchase it, it's available through XBOX Game Pass which is a pretty good deal if you play a variety of games on a regular basis. I am glad I did not buy Starfield.

High Expectations!?! What the heck is that, some kind of troll? Oooh, I'm the bad person because I was looking for interactive entertainment and I was unable to accept the numerous flaws and bugs with the game. I'm the big dummy because I should instantly like it for no other reason than to not dislike it. pfh.

If I were quantify it, which I am not doing here, I would be hard pressed to rate this game another a 45-55 out of a 100 score. There's just too many issues with poor design choices or outright lacking necessary features.

My expectations were my own. They were not influenced by marketing or fandom. My expectations are quite simple. This game fails at most of the core features that make a game fun.

It is pretty, kind of, but not entirely. I tried. The game is boring as heck.

And still, another diatribe, quite similar to your two other threads. Is your goal to fill the first page with your whining and crying about the same thing over and over again?
