welcome to mars, please pick up books for me
It's just...okay.
a bethesda game that doesn't have fun exploration sounds like the worst thing imaginable
Don't keep doing the main quest. Do the UC Vanguard questline first. It's overall the highlight of the game I reckon.At the very least do the first bit with the museum.
It is a bland ass game with glimpses of cool mechanics but it's too oversaturated with cut and paste nonsense and pointless filler missions and empty worlds with no reason to explore.and the best praise it gets is "it's not that bad," but to me, that is why it's bad
Space combat is repetitive and space exploration is non-existent.
It sucks because it it could be a cool game but... it's not. They just threw some shit together and called it good.
Still a better game than Spiderman 1.5I didn't care for Miles Morales either
a bethesda game that doesn't have fun exploration sounds like the worst thing imaginableThis. Exploration and atmosphere are the only things Bethesda was historically good at post Morrowind. Their writing always sucked, their quests largely sucked, their combat always sucked, etc.

it's wild that sliding has to be unlocked, and then when you get it, it does nothing. it's the shortest slide in video game history. that should have been its VGA awardSo many things are locked in the skill tree for no reason, and some way farther than necessary.

I'll never understand why shit like "One More Crew Member" needed to be a highest tier skill.
Yeah the game is like a 7-8/10 and is getting too much hate. Too many people were expecting No Man's Sky when it was never going to be that, and too many people were expecting Fallout in space, which it kind of is? but is also clearly trying to set up a similar, but not the same gameplay loop, which makes comparing to Fallout in space just not really work well.
The entire game reeks of "we had way too much time in the oven trying to be a perfectionist before making a second draft". Like, its fine, I absolutely got my money's worth playing it, but its not a game that's gonna get me hyped if the next game is a decade from now.
Starfield on its own is... fine. A Starfield 2 if it came out in less than 15 years could be really good.
Times have changed in the 12 years since Skyrim, Bethesda jank and lack of actual vision is much more noticeable when stuff like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3 exist in the same realm. And do things far, far, FAR better.

It's like one came out in 2007 and it's not Cyberpunk.

Wow, let's compare an acclaimed mission in one game with an average mission in another game and pretend the rest of the missions are the same. I can easily do the same by comparing "Entangled" in Starfield with some random street fight in Cyberpunk 2077, hypocrite.Um, that's not even in the top third of Cyberpunk's missions. It's honestly a glorified tutorial and not very important.

And you think the Starfield mission you mentioned is its best? Did you even play Starfield?A few dozen hours until I got bored, yes. So you're saying Starfield has good presentation sometimes?
I think thats what makes it worse. It was one of the most hyped up xbox exclusives ever and its incredibly mediocre I heard . Which absolutely sucks because I was so looking forward to getting it on PC and modding it in a few years. But it seems even the modders are giving up on it >_>
