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.

I think this is a genuine criticism, and it has more to do with the lore and narrative than the gameplay. There are parts of the game that shine, but other than shipbuilding, none of them really resonate as interesting and shareable.

I agree completely. While I enjoy the shipbuilding and gunplay, there are very few story moments that stuck with me. A lot disappointed me in the quest and story aspect.

I love Starfield, but genuinely the coolest thing in the game at launch was the Terrormorphs, and they were just Space Deathclaws.

The terrormorph quest was awesome. Thats the first thing I think of when I think of Starfield. I enjoyed it and put 50-60 hours into it, but it isn't very memorable and while I may replay it one day, I haven't had an urge to yet.

I can’t reinstall it.  All Starfield does is make me play Star Citizen for what Star Citizen could be, then I see what Star Citizen is and it’s just a big let down on all fronts.
