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 kinda did things weird.

At first when I heard about The Unity, I decided I’d never go through it because I was invested in the universe I was in.

Then I had the thought: What does any of this matter if I never ACTUALLY get to the end? So I decided I’d do it… 10 times until I have all abilities maxed out.

Only then could I ACTUALLY start playing.

And I’ve played more in my NG+10 universe than the vanilla one. But it was just started feeling so hollow and I hate it.

I played hundreds of hours of Fallout 4 and can still load it up to reexperience the fun I had in finding weird locations, locations I’ve been to at least 10 times.

I can’t do that in Starfield because EVERY location is the same.
