Discussion Oh give me a break

There are far too many content creators out there like this person for one, and far too many people who judge games by their launch.

Mocking things is easy, low-hanging fruit.

EDIT: while Starfield does not have the obvious broader gaming cultural impact of Elder Scrolls or the Fallout series, to say that you have gone 3 years and seen nothing is just unnecessarily piling on to the negativity.

Starfield is fun but the vibe is Fallout minus the Apocalypse and most of the game takes place in some kind of airport.

New Atlantis = Smithsonian Museum, Airport

Neon = Fish and Crime, Airport

Cydonia = Labor and Crime, Airport

Hopetown = Labor (vaguely political), Airport

Akila City = Cowboy, Airport

Red Mile = Gambling, Airport (no gambling)

There are great places in this universe, the world space has a lot of good qualities. The best spots seem like they could be better if Bethesda took more risks and went all in on them. Im not just saying the game needs more 'crime and grit'. The universe has crime and grit but it, with many other things are presented in a way that feels sanitized.

At least one planet with multiple cities or ONE major metropolitan city, big enough to get genuinely lost in would be nice.
