I would have had no complaints about this game if it was released a decade ago. Two decades ago even then I would have significantly more time to waste on it and be more forgiving, on top of it being legitimately state of the art.

You'd be more forgiving of a game decades ahead of anything released at the time? Yeah, no shit. Y'all really need to chill on the ridiculous hyperbole. Starfield has a lot of problems, but it's unmistakably a modern game.

Even a decade ago i would laugh out loud every time i saw these dead ass expressionless npc's and their clunky ai. Gta 5 released 10 years ago. But a small indie developer like Bethesda can't be bothered to make their games better

GTA V is one of the most successful games ever made. Not exactly the norm of the time period.

I wish they would just use modern game engine / build a new engine that let people have inventories rather than having to teleport things from chests hidden under the world, and allowed animating of faces.

They keep pushing the engine they have past its breaking point and then it shows.

It is not a modern game in any way. It's just Fallout 4 in space, which was Skyrim with retro futurism.

It's once again a giant shallow pond.

If this game was released 1,400 years ago, I'd have no complaints also.
