    Bethesda promissed exploration and a next gen game but they lied to us (as always )

    I'm a huge fan of space exploration games No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous being two of my favorites and honestly if you want to have a fun journey through space just play one of those instead.

    Maybe the most boring Bethesda game I've ever played, The main story is uninteresting and most of the characters you meet are beyond generic. Also having you do most of your "exploration" through

    Maybe the most boring Bethesda game I've ever played, The main story is uninteresting and most of the characters you meet are beyond generic. Also having you do most of your "exploration" through menus and loading screens is a baffling decision to me. If you liked Fallout 3 you'll love this game because it plays the exact same if there's one thing you can commend Bethesda for it's sticking to their roots for better or in this case for worse, the creation engine needs an overhaul.

    Very disappointed with the game. Shallow, boring, uninspiring. Very lazy work from the company I used to respect a lot. Bethesda, you can't just slap a new wallpaper on Fallout 4 and claim you worked on that for 7 years.

    Sloppy details, space games where you can't travel in space, and freedom that you don't have. You can see completely degraded producers from previous works such as Skyrim and Fallout 4.

    Since they are announced. They sold it as the greatest novelty in the era of gaming, and simply a common RPG but in space and with which you cannot navigate in freestyle or in any style. It has many bugs and on Xbox series S and is poorly optimized and takes a long time to load resources, and its stories are simple. It is simply a $1 Dollar game pass game.

    If the game was sold for 20 dollars, if it was made by an indie studio like Spiders and if it can ran without problems on a 1650Ti video card, I would give it somewhere around 4-5 points based on the sum of its advantages and disadvantages. But... this is a product from Bethesda, and Todd says that this is not a broken game, but that you have a bad PC.

Well that is starfield, except it not even wide. The game is a bunch of small maps tied together through menus, you don't fly from planet to planet. You can't even explore to far as the map ends. Even worse these tiny maps are just random generation environments with the same 3 or 4 dull activities randomly scattered across the map/planet. Scan, scan some more, scan some more and occasionally do dome shooting and lasering same thing and the enemies just run at you and stand in front of you. Or just randomly run from random points. At first I was enjoying the game learning the system , but after 10 hours I was just doing the same thing over and over on similar looking areas. This all might be OK if the story and characters carried you through, but its all modern cringe writing with this ugly unappealing characters we find in so many modern games. After not long I was just skipping dialogue in hopes I could enjoy the game systems..But its just shallow. Leveling is just picking perks, that's it! and then there are few generic crafting chores. Basic stuff where you can't build nothing until you pick the perk then you can use some of that useless junk that weighs you down to make more useless junk cause the game still has to be fair if you dont do crafting.
    At first I liked the combat but after not long your just fighting the same red human dudes and handful of alien animals that a spread across all the planet/maps.
    Off course then there the woke stuff. Yeh it's all there and it's and crap as it always is.Ugly unappealing chicks everywhere , female empowerment with all leaders being butch and manly woman.. Averting the male gaze. Even the one attractive girl that is your companion is made unappealing by sounding like an irritating posh 70 year old.
    I got 15 hour and could go any further, it's just boring.

And not even the real Wild West but that of John Wayne movies. People wear spacesuits from the 1960's, yet have interstellar travel. Computers run some version of Windows 95. Robots have worse voice simulation software than your iphone. The future is full of hokey morality vending machines, and interstellar coffee shops. Ridiculous. None of the cutting areas of science are explored. It spams out other peoples tropes badly when they were outdated half a century ago. But golden age of sci fi this is not. It is clearly not written by people with any knowledge of sci fi or science.

    Writing: I don't want to talk to anyone - including main characters. the writing is juvenile and patronising. Like it was written by a complete amateur.
    Graphics. Apart from the pretty character creation, the graphics are rubbish. This is acceptable to some degree with a big RPG, but it extends to the characters who fail to convince as human beings let alone compelling characters.
    Gunplay. I can't even see most of the enemies - thankfully there is a label over them, so I shoot that. There is absolutely no sense of connection either hitting someone or being hit. I only know I am being hit when a pop up tells me to use a medipack. The AI is so stupid it doesn't even notice you are there as you fire 20 shots into it.
    Exploration: You can't take off and land. Fair enough. But you can't even orbit a planet or plot a course outside a menu. If you try and explore you are confronted by a barren plane, with about as much charm as filler zone in a MMO.
    Roleplaying: There is none. You get a few trite options for saying variations of the same thing, that don't seem to do anything at all. I guess you just have to use your imagination.
    Everything about it is worse than any previous Bethseda release. I don't see how even mods can save it. At leasrt there previous games had dense interesting starting locations and atmosphere. There is none of that here.
    I'm bored. That's it. I can't in all fairness score it more than a 1 - my lowest score ever by at least 5 points. It does almost everything worse than games they made 12 years ago, and has no character, no decent story, no roleplaying options, no decent worlduilding. The much maligned Cybperpunk was light years ahead even at launch.

NPCs are terribly stupid, quests are not interesting and there are a lot of loading screens, outdated graphics, the game is not optimized. Terribly boring game and it's not an RPG..

    So, this Space Skyrim/Fallout has turn out to be the biggest disappointment of the year. The WORST optimization I've seen since Batman Arkham Knight, coming from a game that has been developed for almost 10 years, and worked with this graphic engine for 20y. Makes no sense.

    Despite the performance, the game looks good aesthetic, but not appealing enough.

    La ia??? Es un escándalo de lo nefasta que es tanto de los compañeros como de los enemigos, el gunplay es genérico y plano, los menús son otro horror.
    Conclusión una estafa de las gordas, mi consejo es que no lo compréis, jugadlo en el Gamepass si estáis con mucha curiosidad pero no regaleis vuestro dinero a semejante mojón, Bethesda estamos en 2023 no en 2002 cambiad este horroroso motor y dejad de timar a los usuarios, lleváis con la fórmula copia/pega desde oblivión, y eso antes era muy bueno, hoy en día es un mojón, tenemos cosas como Witcher 3 o Baldurs gate 3, jugar a este starfield directamente es como jugar a un mod del fallout 4 instanciado, ya no cuela.
    "Juego de la década "mis cojon...s"
    Yo ya devolví mi copia en steam y no lo pienso tocar ni con un palo, dentro de 2 o 3 añitos si les da por mejorar la ia y la legión de bugs que nos trae por 20€ merecerá la pena, más no.

    Almost every action requires a loading screen, this was acceptable in Fallout 4 in 2015, but not in 2023 Bethesda. I think the game should be called Loadfield.
    Todd Howard's lies, as usual
    Most problems because of outdated engine, outdated level design, outdated Bethesda.

And just to be clear, I based my decision to buy not on hype or rumors, but on carefully following official information from the developer, publisher,

    Let me start: I am owner of premium edition so I have been familiar with this production for a few days. First at all I will honestly state that I feel cheated out of $100. And just to be clear, I based my decision to buy not on hype or rumors, but on carefully following official information from the developer, publisher, including their CEOs. So I don't feel like a dumb sucker, but like a person who was deliberately lied to. I want nothing to do with future products with the Microsoft and Bethesda logos. But about that in the summary at the end.

    I begin with technical aspects, because it is easer. In a nutshell: primitive port from consoles. Therefore, VRAM does not exceed 6 GB, and RAM oscillates around 6-8 GB (although on PC 24-32 GB today is not surprising). Hence the constant loading screens, even though the whole thing should sit in memory even though everything works in small instances. And I'm not even mentioning such technical nightmares as the lack of support for proper anti-aliasing in 2023, no DLSS, no Intel ARC GPU support or problems with textures not fully loading, exactly the same as in Forspoken. And that embarrassing performance even on extremely strong configurations with graphics dating back 7 years! How about AI of NPCs and enemies? What AI? What faces animations? What is it? A joke? The whole thing done as off-putting as possible. 3D engine is terrible, I mean terrible outdated and you feel it literally everywhere. Fatal engine, fatal port. And yet, these are only core technical issues, on top of that there is the content, and this content is as if from 2010-2013. It is unacceptable. This way of giving gameplay even comes from the 90's and has nothing to do with current standards. And this applies to the content as well as the form of its delivery, i.e. UI/UX. And it's hard to believe that this is a product released in the year 2023, there are such is the coarseness of everything, feel so cheap, so... lame. Use of Creation Engine while owning the rights to use the id Tech engine. This is lunacy!

    Now we move deeper, and you know what? No alien races, whole Galaxy is open, but there are NOT any other vivid civilizations. The narrative in this game is reminiscent of the work of a 15-year-old for a contest entitled "The story of the world. How I imagine life in 100 years". But, on the other hand, the entire Galaxy we've come to know is purely American: from the architecture, to the disgusting mass culture, to the customs. Where are the cultural differences between the different worlds? Hey, you creators of this carcass without imagination, do you really think that in the future everyone will live in the same cesspool as you today? This is not the 1980s! What is it I ask? WHAT IS IT?! It insults intelligence. Where is the plot? Where do choices matter? It is unbelievable how infantile everything is conveyed and would require an looong and deeep elaboration, but I just don't want to rummage through this rubbish, simply: this is total mess.

    This should be groundbreaking Crysis for the year 2023, not a horribly optimized, archaic product in form and content. This game is in much worse state them Cyberpunk on release because Cyberpunk at least had a good, modern 3D engine and a contemporary gameplay concept.

    This game should never have been released in this state - this is not an indie developer, but the largest software publisher in the world. You can see right through, Microsoft and Bethesda have real problem with internal management, because it is not first blunder this year. Maybe next year something will come of it, if MS does not abandon the project and rebuild this game from the ground up - and I write this completely seriously. For now it is unplayable. This product is a complete mess at this point, it's a beta version, and situations like this gives Microsoft a terrible reputation - again. Something really bad is going on there. Their recent actions resemble management at a market stall, not a multinational corporation. If Microsoft wants to stay in this market as a major player, needs to change something, because the Activision-Blizzard purchase won't help anything if you don't release good products. Of course, in the short term you can count on profits from an uninformed or undemanding customer, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. I am sure, that Starfield discredit will only confirms this.

    And looking at the above I would give a summary rating of 4/10, but in this case I in good conscience give 1/10. Why? Because, let me repeat myself, for months the developer and publisher in their official information simply gave outright lied about whether this product will be. So as owner of premium edition of this game let me summarize: I feel SCAMmed in very bad way which I write utterly honest. Almost everything from the official announcements and official statements turned out to be a lie. Enough is enough.

    It would be nice if they made a broken game that can be finished, but absolutely everything is bad there: 2016 graphics, lack of animations, stupid artificial intelligence, lack of an interesting plot, procedurally generated locations and side quests, dull space battles, there is simply no space in the game about space space, endless looting

How could such a hack be done? I am sure that the game was originally planned as an MMO in space, but after the failure of Fallout 76, they began to remake it into a single player. I don't like Skyrim and especially Fallout 4, but at least the locations were made by hand.
    But thanks to Starfield ive gave the ME Andromeda the second chance, and Andromeda not so bad compare to that masterpiece.

    It's the most underwhelming game I've played since "Redfall" (another Bethesda disaster). You can like whatever you want but the combat (space and ground) is generic AF, it's chocked full of loading screens, and the menus are clunky. That's not even getting into all the technical issues (past having no working HDR10 support on PC at launch in 2023).

The game has lock-on missiles, but doesn't bother to tell you if there's any way to avoid those when fired at your ship.

    The characters are more annoying than anything else, nearly constantly criticizing anything and everything you do. "Why do you have to try to carry everything?" "We're not going to help this person are we?" "Glad you're finally done sleeping." Jesus Christ Bethesda, if I wanted to get nagged in my down time I'd move back in with my mom.

The planets lack vitality, and while I understand it's a video game and not reality, I wish they were more captivating. Unfortunately, every quest feels like a monotonous fetch quest that involves going through a series of loading screens—boarding my ship (loading screen), taking off (loading screen), selecting a planet (loading screen), landing (loading screen), disembarking (loading screen), and so on—just to retrieve an item and repeat the entire process to deliver it to someone else. It's incredibly frustrating.

    Although the combat is decent, the AI is subpar, and challenging enemies often feel like bullet sponges. On top of that, managing the inventory is an exhausting task. There are no clear indications of what healing items do unless you scroll over them and read their descriptions, which is a hassle. Additionally, sifting through menus to determine if the 500th iteration of the same gun I've found is an improvement over my current one is a tedious process.

    What surprises me the most is the good reception this game has received from critics, despite mixed reviews from users. These issues arent nitpicky, they are so obvious. From my perspective, it appears to be objectively average, at best. If I had to give it the highest possible rating, it would still be just average. The most disappointing aspect is that everyone claims the game improves after the first 12 hours, but even after investing 20 hours into it, nothing has changed. I've been patiently waiting for it to become more enjoyable, but it hasn't. The fact that it supposedly gets better only after hours of grinding to design ships and suits is disheartening, as it means I've already bored myself out of this game by that point.

    there was such a game The Outer Worlds.
    Let's take it, cut out of it all the balance, all the humor, all the unusual design
    It looks very very much like the game was made on the skeleton of The Outer Worlds 2
    Next, we take Fallout 3, cut out all the interesting dialogues, all the mechanics, the hit effect, and so on.
    But the gameplay is Fallout 3 one-on-one, all with the same stupid behavior of the characters.
    All with the same square and jerky animation
    All the same stupid opponents and their behavior, which are a rod on you, only in Fallout the opponents were plot-inscribed, someone was in heavy armor, someone mutants, someone interesting monsters.
    There are just empty, chaotically running dummies
    Hey, sorry, where did the people who did Crysis 1, Farcry 2 and F.E.A.R. etc. get lost
    In Crysis 1, it was interesting for the player to explore this jungle, especially compared to Starfield. FarCry 1 – took the story and gameplay, Farcry 2 went downhill, but from the point of view of mechanics, it turned out to be outstanding. Prey is better, even Doom
    You will say, but this is an RPG, and you compare it with single-player games
    I will upset you, this is not an RPG, here is Dark Souls RPG, in a normal idea of an RPG, we make saves, plot, NPC, map and everything - the classic RPG representative is ready
    Do you want something new, and even Cyberpank 2077 was better, albeit with technical problems, but it was at least filled with something.
    There are no bugs in Starfield, okay, but what are the bugs in the Bethesda presentation?
    At the same time, Microsoft has Obsidian, which maybe could have made at least The Outer Worlds 1.5 out of the game, maybe this is it?
    The same dialogues, the same animations, the same head turns
    The gaming industry has not yet broken through the bottom, because it keeps on games, like Dark Souls (although I honestly admit it's not for me), Red Dead Redemption 2, even, even Death Stranding, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
    I had boring dialogues in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, yet in the first game they were to be more lively
    But in Starfield, the dialogues have long rotted and turned into dust, you are surrounded by only robots, dummies
    NPCs move like robots and behave the same way. And how creepy they are, I don't say anything at all.
    And again, Starfield is worse than Skyrim!
    Attention, good news, we should not make a competitor to Skyrim since it will sell it for another 20 years. Yes, Captain! GipGip to Captain Todd! (no, not HypGip)
    After each bad game, you realize that the previous ones were not so bad
    Want a shock? This game is worse, even than Dead Island 2, there was at least an attempt to do something new
    Attention!!! And yes, you will not be able to return the money for the game, since the game starts very slowly, in fact 2 hours have passed, and the game has not even started yet.
    But now we can blame neural networks for everything
    Since the game is obviously a very long long-term construction and it was done in the last year and dialogues were either immediately written by incompetents and neural networks or by the end of the game
    As soon as it gets better, then the neural network wrote this dialog
    In the game, all the dialogues are written by 6-year-olds
    At the NPC, only saliva does not drip from the corner of the mouth
    The introduction is * the plot is * the story is *
    The game seems to have been made on the knee for a year
    And most importantly, there are a lot of free downloads
    RAM: 16 GB
    AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K
    NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 5700
    Where did you get them from???From what ceiling did you write them and get them?
    The game looks like on Xbox360, and if it doesn't, then the lighting spoils everything and you can't tell it from the same Fallout 3 of 2008, when they released Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in 2006

    Every 5 minutes of loading, even more often.
    Yes, this * on any bucket should go
    Most of all, the comments of the developers are "impressive". "Todd Howard answered the question by emphasizing that Starfield is a next-gen game. Bethesda's developers have optimized it, and users just need to upgrade their computers to keep up with the latest technology." I wonder where Todd found the transfer technology in his game? Maybe he should look back at 2005. Empty, non-living DICORATIONS are not yet advanced technologies
    with graphics worse than Xbox360 corridor levels and grass passing through stones

    There are almost no bugs?
    Because there is almost nothing in it
    Space? A ship? Forget it – it's just another location where you're hanging in the air, and the world is moving around you.just a "base" and a checkpoint
    Even writing about Starfield is difficult

    El juego es literalmente un Fallout / Elder Scrolls en el espacio digan lo que digan. Podría haberse llamado The Outer Worlds 2 porque básicamente es lo mismo, un RPG ambientado en el espacio.
    Los viajes entre planetas o sistemas solares se hacen a golpe de tecla y cinemáticas a través de un menú ya que no puedes pilotar tu nave ni navegar con ella libremente ya sea en la atmosfera o en el espacio a pesar de que se anunciaba lo contrario, solo en las orbitas de los planetas y de manera limitada, penoso. Tampoco puedes salir de tu nave y flotar por el espacio libremente.
    La IA tanto enemiga como aliada deja mucho que desear, es muy torpe. Los civiles no reaccionan a tus disparos ni ofrecen diálogos.
    Las animaciones faciales siguen siendo de la generación pasada, por no hablar de que la sincronización labial es muy mala, aunque el doblaje y la traducción hay que decir que están muy bien.
    La exploración que nos prometían es decepcionante y literalmente humo. De 1000 planetas que anunciaban solo unos 100 tienen "vida" o cosas que hacer, es decir un 10% y además generados proceduralmente. No solo eso, sino que al aterrizar en una zona se generan puntos de interés alrededor, es decir que esas zonas explorables están instanciadas y además no puedes explorar mas allá porque no hay nada y porque el juego no te deja. Con las orbitas de los planetas pasa lo mismo, están instanciadas y da la sensacion de ser algo artificial.
    Además para visitar los puntos de interés deberás ir andando desde tu nave ya que no existen vehículos terrestres ni tampoco puedes acercarte con tu nave, a estas alturas y que Bethesda no haya sido capaz de implementarlos en ninguno de sus juegos es lamentable.
    Hay pantallas de carga y menús literalmente para todo. Los menús son engorrosos y poco intuitivos.
    Cuando aterrizas en algún punto no existe algo tan básico para guiarte como un mapa local.
    Los gráficos tampoco son para tirar cohetes. No innova en nada ni implementa mecánicas nuevas.
    Todos estos puntos negativos rompen la inmersión, te sacan mucho del juego y de la experiencia.
    Los únicos puntos buenos de este juego son la ambientación, la personalización, los combates, las opciones de dialogo y persuasión, la narrativa y la historia, tanto de la trama principal como de las secundarias.

    Played this game expecting it to be good.. but i was wrong! the story is WAY to short and with zero suspence or plot twists! the graphics are horrible and the npcs are some of the worst ever and I’m not joking, The Mass effect trilogy is so much better games then this game will ever be.. Fable is and will always be Xbox biggest hope! not this awful so called RPG...

    there are so many issues with this game, everything from fast travel, to the whole map system, terrible menus, copy-pasted environments, lack of unique enemies and encounters (most creatures just walk towards you and melee attack) and some of the most important story content (temples, or the same rock structures with random artifact wedged in) are all the same thing, copy-pasted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game, for me, is just a gigantic disappointment. I remember Todd Howard talking about the moments were the player "discovered" the world of a game, like exiting the Vault in Fallout, and how they made Starfield with two of those moments, one for discovering your world and the other for discovering "the universe". That got me hypped... They showed the ship customization and all that incredible stuff... But when I've played the game and found out that the "space exploration" was fast traveling... Yeah... Niiiiice... Didn't knew I was "space traveling" since Skyrim.

    Besides that, the gameplay is just generic... It's an generic FPS. Nothing special, really. No VATS, no finishing move, no nothing... You go, you shoot the enemy, the enemy is like a bullet sponge, at some point it dies... Yay, innovation at its peak.

    The NPCs are just boring... The animations and voice acting are just bad. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years they come out and reveal that it was all A.I. generated. And one of them, spoiler warning, jump to the next paragraph if you want to play this game, wouldn't stop following me until I finished a quest I didn't signed up for. I was going to go with him retrieve an artifact from some place in a planet called Akila. Arriving there the bank was getting robbed. I just said to the guard "I'll keep that in mind" and tried to move on. The mayor started talking with us and there was NO WAY of not getting involved, of not helping them, not being the "good guy"... I tried, but the freaking space cowboy steps up and say "my friend can be your solution"... I don't want to be the solution. I left the planet and tried to move on to other quests, but the space cowboy wouldn't stop following me until I've finished it's quest. I've tried to kill him, it was impossible. I closed the game, uninstalled and went back to Baldur's Gate 3, a real RPG.

    This game is just garbage.. I was going to give it a 3 out of 10, but as I was writting I just noticed that it is a 1 out of 10 at best. Mods probably will save it at some point, but man... This is just sad. Never buying a Bethesda game before trying it for at least 50 hours.

    If you want to play it, go for it... If you're after an awesome RPG, just play Baldur's Gate.. Or other Bethesda games if you haven't tried them yet. TES Oblivion and Skyrim, or FO3, FONV and/or FO4 are waaaaaaay better than Starfield. And way cheaper too.

    The copy and paste dungeons was the final nail in the coffin for me. I would recommend against purchasing this Bethesda installment as the experience feels entirely lesser compared to past titles made by Bethesda. Oh, and the loading screens... don't get me started on that one. Save yourself the pain.

    Bethesda continue to pursue their own engine in favour of significantly more advanced game engines that next gen games are being developed on.

    Graphics animations should not be prioritised over gameplay, gameplay is by far the most important quality in any game. But, the gameplay in starfield is slow, the combat is subpar compared to most modern FPS games, and the story line is lacking any depth or intrigue.

    Add to this the anti-competitive Xbox exclusiveness that Todd Howard tried to excuse by saying it allowed them to be hyper focused on a single platform. Which in reality is complete rubbish, this wasn't a game design choice, this was purely an anti-competitive commercial choice by Xbox executives that wanted to try and increase their market share.

It follows from the first one - optimization. Well, she's gone. Graphene is here for 2023; frankly speaking, there are not enough stars in the sky. FPS drops where it would seem there shouldn't be any. I think

It follows from the first one - optimization. Well, she's gone. Graphene is here for 2023; frankly speaking, there are not enough stars in the sky. FPS drops where it would seem there shouldn't be any. I think this shouldn't happen on the 3080ti. You can imagine what's on the weaker cards. 3. Space and ships - well, idk, considering that all movements here can be made by pressing one button, then all this becomes as if it is not necessary, the only thing is that the ship can be used as a hub or warehouse. Flights in space, like battles, are boring. Floundering around orbit and not being able to fly somewhere far in manual mode is upsetting. 4. Loads for every sneeze - this is more of a complaint against the engine (I think so, maybe I’m wrong), all games from the gazebo suffer from this, but here it is elevated to an absolute. If in some Skyrim or Folych these downloads are found only at the entrance to buildings or caves, etc., then here they are everywhere. If you want to land - loading, enter the building - loading, take off - loading, boarding - loading, moving between city districts - loading, although it’s difficult to call local settlements and cities. There is no smell of seamlessness here. 5. Planets and content on them - but there is none, or there is little, basically it all comes down to grinding resources, clearing identical outposts. In all this time I haven’t come across anything interesting yet, maybe this is temporary. And they would provide transport to move around the planets, otherwise it’s a mess. 6. Combat - well, shooting was not the strong point of the gazebo, but something is really bad here, there is no recoil at all, you can’t feel hits at all, you have to constantly look at the corner of the screen where your health is indicated, in order to understand if they hit you or No. Well, and on top of everything else, AI is as infinitely stupid as space is infinite. There are positive aspects and the game cannot be called a completely bad one, but it is not a masterpiece or a breakthrough either. There are games about space a thousand times better. If you want exploration, riddles and adventures in space, you’re in No Man’s Sky, there’s a coop there, you can build a base and tame a pet, and all this splendor is without downloads, that’s where it’s seamless. If you want to tickle your ass, then go to Elite Dangerous or EVE Online. This is the best promotion for No Man's Sky and Elite so far.

    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.
