I’ve been playing Starfield since launch, and in the beginning I LOVED the game. It seemed like there was so much to explore and do, I felt absolutely overwhelmed.

The game I had been waiting for was here and it was SICK.

Until now.

After beating the game, doing NG+s and doing general role-play; this game is just empty.

Every planet: 98% the same

Every random location: 100% the same

Loot in containers: Always garbage

Unique weapons: N O N E

Crafting systems: basic yet, EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED

Weapon Upgrade: ????? HAHAHAHAHA

Flying: Okay, this is the best part of the game

Fast Traveling: L O A D I N G S C R E E N S

Vendors: Less credits than one gun sells for

It just feels like all this game exists of is 12 different guns, 12 different random locations, 12 different geological features, 12 different biomes, 12 different forms of weather and a SMALL handful of unique and hand build locations that, to top it off: EXISTS AMONGST HUNDREDS OF PLANETS.

I want to play the game. My mouse is hovering over it right now. But I can’t bring myself to click it.

SINCE PEOPLE ARE ASKING: TIME PLAYED: 17d 22h 53m

I cannot find the question you’re asking, but it’s possible that the person purchased the game as a preorder or because the marketing hype. Now you play the games and keep playing expecting the story to improve, maybe the exciting content will be there if you take the time to explore & find it….OH WAIT ITS BEEN 50 HOURS ALREADY and NOTHING IS HAPPENING…idk but sometimes you need to read the whole book before you judge that it was a shit waste of time

I think this is another great point!

The game was lauded as “Bethesda’s New Massive Franchise”, so obviously MANY people got curious. It’s a very valid argument to make that some played far into the game only to think, ‘hey, this isn’t actually as revolutionary as they said/I thought it would be.’

I dont agree it’s a shit waste of time though. At least, it wasn’t for me. I just expected more, and that’s fine given what was promised.
