Its cities are way less impressive than cyberpunk which is now 2 or 3 years old, the no man's sky type exploration is a joke, its not a good FPS neither, the main plot is like a bad Mass Effect remake, the game is 10 years behind the facial expression and the whole character animation is archaic and Bethesda should really adress this problem at once. The dialogues options are so blend and the characters so not convincing, graphics are inequals, loading screens in 2023...No maps, over 1k planets but nothing to do (they rely on their modding community to do all the work in that department). NO FKIN AMMUNITIONS. no meaningful choices. The whole game is boring and the inventory is the worst. The game consists in : go to my ship through the same animation, loading screen then select a system another loading screen and animation, then select a planet, same loading and animation, then select a landing zone (generally two or three if you're lucky but you won't have any chance to enter atmosphere manually its all animated) so its a fake exploration, you can even not spend anytime into space and just fast travelling. Lots of bugs contrary to what has been said. Persuasion system is basic, RPG components are basics. Character creation is ok. NPC display the same behavior since Oblivion that has been subject of constant mockery but doesnt seem to bother Bethesda since decades, nothing is explained on the game but its not like if it was Elden Ring as in meant to be opaque because you have to discover for yourself and that it is rewarding, here its just lazy and confusing. The ammunition system is a joke i can'"t even play with the weapons i'd like because i never have ammunition for it. New Atlantis is UGLY as f. I heard the game get good after 15 hours lol which is never a good sign and even then it got slightly better it still was a major disappointment to me. Expand

    creepily at you (yes that creepy lady npc meme staring at you is literally there in the first big city i screenshot her myself) How can you downgrade from skyrim npc's of 2011? your own creation?
    -speaking of creepy, gets us to the animations, you talk to sarah and her crew and any remaining bit of immersion is broken by a robot staring at you which is the main character, like at least put some effort in making her facial expressions, and you have the resources goddamit
    - the screen zooming in dialogue on the characters face which is an oblivion 2006 mechanic amplifies the last point by forcing you to stare into the bozo robot npc staring into your soul
    - the game requirements are demanding somehow yet the graphics are worse than these games i played this year: hogwarts legacy, rdr2, spiderman remastered. 3 open worlds i played this year not to meantion all the linear games. runs much worse than all of them while looking worse. just pain.

    *Main reason i played this in the first place is to get a glimpse of what bethesda can accomplish with my most anticipated title TES6, and boy am I worried.

    Starfield's story begins out of nowhere, too fast to make sense of our chosen character's path or his role before he finds the artifact.

This is a pacing issue – to move that fast mind has to speed up first, there should be a valid ground and motivation. But whatever we select, barely provides any difference and we are flooded with new status outcomes and have only one way – accept the offer to fly to our "new friends".

    Then all these loading screens: it's flow, it got broken every minute or two. Space lives in a different world, land lives in another, quests are mostly unrelated to anything and battles are there mostly to grind some resources (because weapons don't have any impact on enemies, except damage numbers).

    And visually it's somehow not as good as games from the 2014-2016 era, even huge open-world games all with better reflections, proper lighting, better skin and hair shaders, and consistent color balance (instead of washed-out blacks and overlit whites).

    And I don't blame Creation Engine, the interiors, and dark areas are exceptionally good-looking. They could at least achieve some proper color correction for SDR and HDR, and as you may've seen in Atlantis, they washed out the image instead.

    Combine it with 40FPS in big cities (on RTX 3000 with FSR!) and you'll understand what feels off for many players here. Several folks saying it's GOTY are probably been in cryostasis for the last 15-20 years.

Starfield - at least the first dozen hours - is a boring, tedious errand boy simulator. Space travel is an illusion - there's barely any reason to even have a ship other than as a fast travel hub. "Exploring" barren, copy/paste environments gets repetitive quickly. The uninteresting main story starts out absurd and then devolves into a series of boring fetch quests. The characters have all the charisma of deep-fried roadkill. Most NPCs are bug-eyed Lovecraftian horrors with claymation face designs and animations straight out of TES: Oblivion. Despite what critics are saying, the game isn't polished. I experienced numerous bugs of varying severity including a quest-breaker in just the first 12 hours.

    On a more positive note, the gunplay is the best of BGS's games but that's not saying much. You can also get Adam Jensen as a companion which is kind of cool.

    I had zero expectations for the game, but my experience surprised me a lot. It was, literally, the worst gaming experience i've ever had in a single-player game. I would never recommend paying 100 euros for this game. Instead, play it on Gamepass, try it out with Steam's library sharing feature, or get it through other, very "jolly roger" means. This game is not worth 70 or 100 euros, not even close.

It just misses the mark. There are SO many issues I could talk about - I actually wrote out a list. I doubt anyone wants to read that though so the main points are that
    1) The narrative of the quests and companions are not engaging enough. That is to say, most of the game is quite boring. Occasionally there is an interesting character or interesting event, but it's not enough
    2) The performance is not good and the game doesn't even look that good
    3) The combat is too bare bones. It's just too boring. The AI is bad, itemization isn't interesting, etc.
    4) There UI and systems are too much of a mess. I have to Google things WAY to much. There needs to be WAY more tutorials.
    5) The planets are too ridiculously similar to each other and too ridiculously similar to Earth
    6) Surveying the different planets is too ridiculously tedious and unrewarding. So are building outposts. There not being any kind of grav bike or other land vehicle to use is also very stupid.
    7) The NPCs are so ridiculously unrealistic and dialogue is poorly done. This is especially embarrassing when you compare it to works by Larian and CD Projekt Red

    We as consumers have allowed the gaming industry to decay into such a bad state because we continue to show game companies we will STILL pay for garbage quality products.

Only a clown can release a game without any optimization whatsoever, a game for which you need a NASA computer to run it, and then say that the problem is with the players' PCs.

    Bethesda used the ancient Creation Engine to make Starfield with tons of loading screens and "invisible walls", not even an open world game. Visually, Starfield looks like some game from 10 years ago, but demands super expensive, almost futuristic hardware. It's a total technical fiasco.

    On the creative side, Starfield is completely devoid of any originality and likability. The writings and dialogues in Starfield are so bad it's unbelievable. The main story is as if it was written by someone who is 7-8 years old. Constellation NPCs are very annoying, lifeless, they even criticize the player if he does something "bad". You feel like you are playing a game with some old aunt who constantly criticizes you if you are not a "good boy". All that false moralizing is a total joke.

    The atmosphere in Starfield is generic, soulless, as if the game was created by robots. Big cities are also mostly without any originality and interest. In Neon City, which is supposed to represent the city of vice, you won't find a single half-naked woman. Everything is made generically, strictly controlled, paying extremely close attention to "political correctness", not to "offend" anyone,

    There is no atmosphere, no good story, no interesting characters, nothing... Emptiness, boredom, tons and tons of tiring, long dialogue without any meaning whatsoever.

    This game may be playable in certain segments, but overall this game is just bad..

    Starfield: Disappointment in the Open Cosmos

    Starfield, despite appearing to be a grand game set in an open-world space, conceals within it the corridors of monotony that often detract from the enjoyment.

    One of the primary issues with Starfield is its repetitiveness. The cosmic world you're meant to explore feels perpetually the same. Every mine, every outpost, and indeed, the entire universe seems to be copied and pasted repeatedly. Enemies remain constant, turning each encounter into what feels like a mandatory task rather than an engaging experience.

    As for the story, there's no meaningful connection with factions or character development. Everything revolves around a formulaic scenario where you have to go somewhere, fetch something, kill someone, or shoot something, and you won't encounter anything genuinely new. The RPG element in this game is disappointingly weak, especially when considering the quality achieved in Bethesda's previous titles like Fallout: New Vegas.

    The actual spaceflight, which was supposed to be a major highlight of the game, feels strangely unsatisfying. It's more like a sped-up transit between planets, making it feel more like "fast travel" than actual space exploration. This is a massive missed opportunity for exploring the cosmos and the experiences that could have been associated with traveling between different worlds.

    While you may find various plants and weather on the surface of planets, that's about the only variation the game offers. Interiors are virtually identical. Enemy encounters are monotonous, quickly becoming repetitive and dull.

    Overall, Starfield is a significant letdown. You feel like you've entered an open cosmos, but in reality, you're trapped in the corridors of monotony and subpar design. If you have a choice, you might want to consider other RPG (BG3) because, unfortunately, Starfield doesn't deliver the expected experience, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Repetitive zones, NPCs and models. The price tag should be 30-40$ at most! Buy only if you are a giga big fan of the genre or just don't care about spending extra (or if they update/patch all the bugs and fix some stuff without asking for more money). Expand

    i love open world rpg's, in fact it's my favourite genre, that's why i was so hyped for starfield. I was even considering pre-ordering. Thank Jesus that i haven't spend any dollar on this game. Overpromised, outdated and boring game. Also a loading screen simulator. Anyways, glad that i bought Baldurs Gate 3 instead of this garbage

    Only thing keeping the score up is bought reviews and die hard xbox fans that refuse to come to terms with the game being incredibly mid. exploration is boring. "well its space of course its barren" is the excuse everyone running with, which is not even slightly a valid excuse. very little life in game. everything can be summed up as "generic and mid".

There should be no excuse for that laziness Bethesda delivered here. Insane budget, huge dev team, 7 years of time to deliver.

    As soon I got into space and wasted 10 mins flying towards a planet only to then figure out I have to open the menu and fast travel to the planet. I'm then granted with a loading screen. Then at the planet I can't manually land on it. I need to then open the menu again and fast travel again. I'm then in another loaidng screen. I refunded at this point because the game was not advertised and promoted in this way.

    The space exploration is a scam. Todd is like a character in one of his own games that has maxed out charisma. He gets on that stage and promises a game that just doesn't work. Starfield is just another fallout 76.

    Also forced participation into using pronouns is laughable. Nobody should be forced to take part in someone elses mental health issues. Pronouns are a weaponised social ideology used by people to make them feel special. They will tell you "it's not a big deal " But as soon as you don't want to participate in it you will be abused and attacked.. but it's not a big deal right ?

The only flying you actually do is just sitting stationary in front of a planet, space fighting in a scripted mission, or on the off chance you are engaged by pirates which was rare in my play through. To land you have to watch a cut scene, to fly you watch a cut scene. This game is broken up into different levels by a large amount of cut scenes.

    The loading screens were mostly 1-5 seconds long but when you have to go through loading screens to enter any buildings or other sections of the same city/planet it becomes tedious and immersion breaking. I was so tired of these loading screens but what was worse was that I preferred them to watching the same tired take-off and landing cut scenes. The game trained me to desire to fast travel and watch that loading screen simply to save time instead of watching a cutscene. I figure if I’m not participating in the game during those moments anyway, why make myself have to wait longer to get where I need to be? I expected to fly my spaceship in this game but instead could only watch it fly.

    I’ve logged somewhere around 55 hours playing. The main mission is interesting but falls short toward the end. I wasn’t satisfied with the ending and the New Game Plus quest which I completed. I was expecting to be faced with several terribly tough decisions to make and never really encountered that except once. I’d say the main quest had loads of potential to be mind-blowing but dropped the ball in the last quarter. Too many fetch this and that type quests are chopped up by cutscenes and loading screens.

    The side missions were more interesting than the main storyline. There are several missions that are very fun and rewarding. The story writing here seems to be much better but it's still broken up by the same tedious loading screens and cut scenes.

    For the most part, the game is the least bugged Bethesda game I’ve ever played at launch. Stealth is broken currently so expect a patch for that. NPCs do weird things like standing on top of things and floating but I didn’t encounter game-breaking bugs.

    Overall, wait for this to go on sale and for Nexus mods to release mods that actually let you fly. This isn’t a $70 or $100 dollar game, it's more in the $30 or $45 dollar range. I’m very glad to have played it but I’m happier that I received it for free when buying my GPU. If you want to watch an honest review about this game before buying go watch Worth A Buy on YouTube.

    Second thing is that they said in intervies before release that its Open World game, that you can land on planet and explore it all - Now that is a big lie.
    This Game is not space game, its loading screen game, where you teleport everywhere. to go from base to quest mission on another planet / or solar system you need to have from 2 to 6 loading screens, depends if you click on map for fast travel or you want to go to ship> to orbit >to another solar system > to planet > to land on a planet... + whenever you want to enter building (most of them) its LOADING SCREEN.

    1000 Planets? More like 500.. the rest you cant land on or game gives you random generated building to explore or other atraction - the problem is that after few hours of traveling you seen all of the random buildings and small quests..

    There are lots of bugs with companions as well, sometimes they stand on chairs insted of sitting, sometimes they fly from your space throug ship, they stand in wierd positions in dors or shelves or tables.

    The last thing (there is more but i dont want to write that much) is bad Optimalization on PC. its 2023, cyberpunk has better graphic and 3070ti can run it on 1440p+FULL RT + Hight details on 60fps easy.

    Starfield? oh boy... Mid/High setting + 1440p + fsr2 = 40-50fps in building to 30fps in cities.
    And what Todd Howard said about this optimalization problem?
    ''MAYBE YOU SHOULD UPGRADE YOU PC...'' - Todd Howard 09.07.23.

    But its not 1/10 and no one should give lower mark then 3.
    There are bright stuff as well. Its Fallout 4 in space!! Lots of looting, lots of quests, alot of items like armor and guns. Story is fine+. The combat is good even if AI from enemies is bad.

    The mod community is amazing as well, in just a day they fixed ui and wierd green color, added dlss that gave me +10more fps, And gave HDR and FOV that was not in game!

    Overall i enjoy playing this game and hope it will do comeback in ''No Man Sky'' style.

    Downside - Not much of faction SQs exist. 3~4 at most as of moment.

    Above average graphics vs. other bethesda games.
    Downside - still hot mess (esp. NPC details/models) compared to other games.

    Lots of walking - can be immersive at first.
    Downside - lack of transportation at surface means that you spend vast majority of time walking arouind. This will apply to all planets that you travel for, most likely, suveying for outpost and missions.

    Shipbuilding - Slight depth to it, customizability.
    Downside - lack of accessible parts (level-locked and skill-locked, and system-locked until outposts are built) means that customizing ships are hard. There is a size limitation which means bigger ships are curently impossible to build without mods, and there are egregious limitations on what you can actually build & with exterior ship features/details in mind.

    Space travel - Random encounters everywhere (usually copypasta of same ones, especially pirate). space stations feel very copy-pasta. you'll notice similarities of layouts quite a bit. Fuel is automatically replenished. no sense of danger in getting lost.

    Outpost/crafting (the most insulting part of this game) -
    You can only craft outpost buildings, part that goes into it, medical consumables and weapon upgrades.
    What you cannot make, as of moment:
    - Ship parts/structures (only purchasable, or by taking over ships)

    - Weapons/spacesuits/apparels (only purchasable or through loots)

    - Ammos. Higher difficulty or even lower diff, with minimal points into combat will make you use bullets a lot and spend considerable amount of money on just buying ammos, or forcing you to scavenge for ammo.

    -Contraband items. making this and selling to npcs, along with everything above, would completely change the depth of gameplay with outpost mechanic with added depth, without sacrificing difficulty/complexity, as this would be completely optional.

    bugs. Ranging from purely cosmetic bugs (there are lots of it, this is a bugthesda game after all), minor bugs (requiring reloads) to softlocks (game refresh mandatory).

    map design.
    Planet survey is pointless. resource locations (on surface) is completely randomized.
    in-game local maps are not present. surface map does not give good detail - THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT MAP

    System search is not present. you'd think, with 500 systems on the map, you'd think bethesda would have favorite bar/search functionality to the map. Nope - you're forced to use a third party interactive map and search system using those.

    Considering all this, The more hours you spend the game, your experience will become good to bad.
    Therefore, I cannot recommend people to play this game, as this game has replayability being its heavy focus, a common bethesda game trait.

    Space orchestra intro/casuals might enjoy the current level of depth it has. but it's definitely not going to be enough if you want to dive deeper into mechanics, because there aren't any present.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starfield takes no risks, aiming to be completely agreeable and inoffensive in every possible way, resulting in an utterly bland and wanting experience.

    The project reminds me of a novel someone's been writing for half their life, leaving the author incapable of identifying critical issues due to personal attachment. When you stare at something for too long, you can't see it anymore.

    It's no issue to me that Bethesda developed concepts competing titles had already explored and iterated upon. However, they didn't build on the innovations of others, or even borrow from them, as if the studio worked in a bubble, isolated from the rest of the industry. Their sequestered development leaves the game feeling out of date, and even out of touch. It might be new to them, as multiplayer was in Fallout 76, but what about customers who continue playing games during 6-year development cycles?

    Major concerns:

    1. A science-fiction setting somehow lacking in curiosity and wonder.
    2. A light, almost anemic story, written without heart or soul.
    3. A world that completely fails to deliver player immersion.
    4. Stories that take no risks and dares nothing.
    5. Uncomplicated characters with little complexity or effective moral ambiguity.
    6. Role-playing without real choices or moral crossroads.
    7. Adventure without wonder or environmental storytelling.
    8. A game with no unique identity or new perspective.
    9. Writing without voice and tone.

    In the spirit of other reviews, I'll use the starting sequence of the game as an example.

    In a story, after the inciting incident, the audience will ask, "Can the character easily go back to their old life?" The answer must always be "no".

    In Fallout 4, the sole survivor cannot go back to their old life after their spouse is murdered, their baby is taken, and they wake from cryo in the future. In Fallout: New Vegas, the courier cannot easily go back to their old life after they've been shot in the head and left for dead with amnesia. In Fallout 3, the lone wanderer cannot easily go back to their old life after they're forced to leave the vault or be killed.

    In Starfield, can the miner easily go back to their old life? The answer is, frankly, yes. There is no dilemma.

    Yes, the miner can easily go back to their old life. They can give their client the artifact they were hired to excavate, then go back to mining. Even the pirates don't want anything with the miners.

    When you think about it, the narrative error here is that there's no "point of no return" for the miner in Starfield. Yes, they experienced a "vision" when interacting with the artifact. But, if the player asks, "Can I go back to mining?", the answer is, "Yes, easily".

    Other weak points:

    1. If Constellation already theorized that the first to touch an artifact experiences visions, why wouldn't they be present for the retrieval, asking the miners to step aside, to test their theory?

    2. After confirming that touching the artifacts grants visions, why wouldn't other members of Constellation insist on sharing those visions with each other during the planning of future retrievals? There are enough artifacts that everyone at Constellation could experience a vision (and other "experiences"). Does Walter not want to get his money's worth? Does Matteo not want to experience a miracle? Why would all of Constellation stand around a table, clapping for the newcomer who took over their venture?

    3. If Barrett also experienced a vision, and others can easily experience them for themselves, what makes the miner so special that they are given their trust, their companionship, their company ship, their robot, and, again, lead on their most paramount project? What did the miner do to earn any of this? What did the player do to earn this?

    Finally, I know this has gone on too long already, but that awkward, family-friendly Neon night club? That setting alone exemplifies the overall feeling of Starfield as a whole: no charm, no tone, no risk, no offense.

    I love Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but this is not a good game.

This is like Outer Worlds x Skyrim x ME: Andromeda, only worse in all categories. Anyone with a sane mind will not say this is better in any single way than Andromeda which is now 6 years old. Those games appear to be 10 years apart, they almost are, just the wrong way around. Outer Worlds too is like 4-5 years old now, not a single thing in this game beats that, and that game had it fair share of problems.

    Imagine publishing a game they have used this much time on, resources, past achievements, money, huge studio and you forget to add brightness and gamma sliders??
    You forget to add a field of view slider, something games in 2008 had, it would literally take them 5 minutes to implement it and enhance the experience for all players by a lot and those who suffer from motion sickness will actually be able to play.
    You forget that almost all people want to play this in fullscreen with optional DLSS, free to choose HDAO/TXAA/SMAA and hopefully have a game this bad looking above 60 fps on a 4070tix13600k, but thats just too much to ask so we'll keep it windowed borderless running 50 fps and a medium/high/ultra slider instead different methods of anti-aliasing.
    Their most notorious problem is their garbage engines and carry weight / running stamina which makes a game made for hoarding absolute torture. They probably had this problem with FO3 in 2008 and every other game since, how can they not learn?

    Keep in mind that farming ores on planets is useless, you will never use the materials, they will weigh too much to carry, keep in mind that exploring planets is useless, there are close to zero if not zero npcs there and you have to run massive lengths most of the time over encumbered, not able to sprint for more than 3 seconds of the time and maybe you're lucky enough to have a talent in jetpacks with so bad physics it's actually better to leave it behind because of the weight, only to find an empty cave with materials you cant carry or an abandoned base full of loot weighing too much to carry. The combat system is as stiff and broken as Skyrim, FO4, there is nothing different at all. The weapons feel awful, all of the 20+ different I have tried. Oh and the main city looks disgusting.

    I have looked forward to this game for probably 3 years and what I got is an old looking, unpolished, perhaps too vast, empty, soulless, stiff, disappointing intro, tons of too long waiting animations, the wierdest mix of characters I have ever seen, 300 years ahead in time a colony that escaped earth is still talking with indian, african and east asian accents when speaking english which would obviously be the main language for hundreds of years (Hogwarts Legacy all over again), full of bugs, incredibly rough/uneven gameplay, garbage animation and graphics for an incredibly steep price and wait time. This should have been labeled as an Alpha project and cost 20-30 usd at most. It reminds me a lot of Fallout 76 only on a much larger scale and with npcs, sometimes.

    This game is Fallout 4, an 8 year old game only set in space. The flora, fauna and rock/shaders on planets are actually at times worse than FO4, at least there are modders that upscale the textures and fix the mountains of problems there, which we can only hope for in the future here.

    Hm, I wonder what I actually like about it. The dialogue scene close ups with people can be good, the idea of the game in space is good, but that's just in theory. The character customization was decent, some of the armor can look decent, some textures indoors can look good. Those who designed for example the landscape on a planet vs inside a building must be so far apart in talent it's mind boggling.

    Of course Meta Critic gives this game like 8-9-10/10 "incredible space journey, game of the year" though when the community reviews comes out tomorrow I'm sure we're looking at 4-5/10 depending how biased and realistic/optimistic you are.

    Will force myself to try it some more but not really enjoying any of it so far.

It tells you what you need to do to be a good person, and what you can't do if you want to be a good person. What you need to do to be accepted in society and what's going to get you cancelled. It wants to control every aspect of who you are and how you present yourself to the world, and it's all supported and enforced by the establishment.

    People who identify as "woke" have a rigid parochial set of values and beliefs that they've ignorantly mistaken for objective truth. A system of values that they believe are fundamentally good and morally righteous. A set of values that they're convinced are undeniably correct and necessary to human happiness. A set of values they're so committed to that they've adopted a militant and grossly intolerant attitude towards anyone who happens to have different values or anyone who happens to believe things other than what they themselves have mistaken for objective truth.

    The existence of people who don't share their values makes them so furious that they've convinced themselves that these are bad people who need to be shut down and punished through a deeply malicious combination of lies and intimidation they've attempted to impose their personal values on everyone, smearing anyone who says something they disagree with as sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and any number of other "ist's" and "ic's".

    Through doing this they've destroyed many people's lives and brought us all cultural impoverishment and social decline. Moreover through a rabid commitment to an entirely irrational gender ideology which they've convinced themselves is morally righteous they've allowed predatory men to encroach upon women's spaces all around the world and openly engage in child grooming in public.

    They champion diversity but they don't like diversity of ideas. They champion Liberty, but they don't like freedom of speech. They preach about social justice on a phone made by a child slave. They use the expression "Words have consequences" entirely oblivious to how Fascistic that sounds. In short they're hypocrites of the highest order. They are all of those things they claimed to hate the most. Bigots, Authoritarians and Bullies.

    That is not to say that there's nothing good here, the weapon design and shooting mechanics are a vast improvement over their past games, the ship-building is very intuitive, and the scenic landscapes of distant planets and galaxies can be absolutely gorgeous!

    The one thing it doesn't have is my favorite thing about Bethesda games - exploration. No roaming across Skyrim, or the Commonwealth, or Vvardenfell, trekking aimlessly looking for random adventure. No more resolutions to not use fast travel before eventually caving - fast travel is all there is. So, more of the stuff you hate, less of the stuff you love.

    The game is full of bugs. I encountered at least 10 bugs or so in my first 2 hours game play. NPCs are as bad as they always were in any Bethesda game, and they literally look as bad as in Fallout. Jumping NPCs or porting through walls happening everywhere. Doors which wont open.

    Inventory system is a total MESS and not easy to use.

    loading... loading .... loading ... fast travel ... loading .... fast travel ... loading. No Mans Sky did this so much better years ago.

    This game is a loading and inventory management simulator with terrible outdated graphics, terrible performance, full of bugs, no innovation, no content and just gets super boring super fast.

    Does the game get better while you play? Totally not.

    Is there hope the game becomes better through the mod community? Maybe. But that totally is not a good thing, especially not if you pay $100 for a 2023 AAA title.

    It is basically a Fallout 4 mod in space.

    ZERO innovation, its such a awe-fully uninspiring Fallout 4 reskin its unbelievable. New name for a game with NOTHING NEW.

    Boring loading screen sym.

    Boring and basic gunplay.

    Trash AI

    Absolutely soulless "Teleport from A to B" a thousand times "gameplay". No sense of exploration AT ALL. Everything is instanced and you never discover anything. You just open up your HUD and places are shown to you or you can pointlessly run around on empty planets.

    Performance is horrible as well. The "ultra" preset sets the scaling to 70%. Let that sync in. I can play Unreal Engine 5 games with 5x the graphics quality with DLSS on quality with almost double the FPS then this with my 2080 Ti. In typical modern games fashion turning down details gives basically nothing in performance. I basically CANT play this game in a reasonable way with 60 FPS.

    Like all the AAA games these does this of course is infested with wokeness as well but you can believe me or not I really do not need to down-rate this game because of this, the game itself is just complete 100% recycling.

    The same boring looting of too much loot, companions just act as annoying packmules. And a utterly annoying way to give them stuff. You first need to talk to them, select the option "can you carry stuff for me" and then you end up in a pointless screen where you AGAIN have to push another button to open your inventory to actually then dig down into the **** UI to select items. Its unacceptable for a PC game in 2023 to be this bad. And this is not some kind if new IP from a indie studio. This is the xth iterations of the same game they already made again and again.

    One of the biggest game studios on the world, bought by M$ but they do not dare to develop a proper PC UI. The UI it total trash, no grid system with a nice overview and drag and drop. Instead a oversized stupid console UI that just makes me want to puke.

    Its kind of mind boggling that they did not even improve ANYTHING and many argue they made it worse. If if this would be "as good as Fallout New Vegas" or some of the titles I actually liked back then I am not down for the game game again and again. I already passed on Fallout 4 because the graphics (style) turned me off and the beginning was so uninspiring and boring and I already felt I played this b4 in better that I just could not make myself play it.

    I do not even know why I had some hope for this game, its on me to think a new game name brings any kind of innovation.

    I fell in love with Starfield. It's my cup of sci-fi and I can't wait to spend the next thirty, fifty, maybe seventy hours here. I enjoy the exploration, the shootouts, the art style, the ship building, and the diverse worlds. I gratefully acknowledge the good optimization and the absence of major bugs. But I can't overlook the flaws. There are bad animations, ugly faces and repetitive moments.[Issue#329]

    In a year dominated by sequels to franchise favorites, there was a hope that Starfield would carve its own path to success. While the team at Bethesda should be commended for taking such a big swing, there’s no denying that the game doesn’t feel like a cohesive work. Maybe continued support and future sequels will make something more meaningful out of a work that is clearly deeply enamored with both science fiction and space exploration. Unforunately, this first launch has had far more mixed results than desired.
