In a couple of years people will come back with the " perhaps I judged you too harshly" memes, star field is good sure it needs work but I'm still enjoying it, just now people are starting to give quantum break some love too after all the critics shit on it
Starfield is good, DLC will help and I'm looking forward to that but thematically it's a much different game to Fallout 4 & Skyrim and I think that's what's causing a lot of the mixed reviews.
BGS have gone for scale & scope to fit in and get closer to a more authentic space exploration feeling, whereas Skyrim & Fallout are a lot more intimate with their worldspace. It's going to be harder for players to connect with the world of Starfield in the same way they can in other BGS games, and it doesn't help that most NPC's in Starfield are ones that aren't really worth caring about.
It's a different kind of game to what they normally make, and despite the flaws I'm glad they've made it the way they have.
Same story over and over again. This is the same shit that killed Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved that game, but a few messy graphical issues caused the community to grab their pitchforks and kill it.
Starfield is going to be considered an all time game in a few years once modders get ahold of it. It’s clear that Bethesda created a sandbox for modders to run with. There’s gonna be mods to populate every planet with more unique characters/locations/stuff. Also excited to see what mechanics get added through the DLC
I’m not gonna guarantee it, but just looking at how Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky were improved the years following release which makes me confident it will be celebrated much more a few years down the line than it is now. Pair that with the modding community for Bethesda and this game has the potential to have literally unlimited content after a few years. Bethesda designed this game to give modders free reign to build whole new games within this game, whereas prior titles did restrict modders to the core region of Fallout or Elder Scrolls.
Dont pull that one. You know people dont like this game as much as skyrim. It is plain to see. For the myriad reasons people have been saying since launch.
I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. The number of mods can't even be compared but you also can't argue with the number of mods Starfield has on Nexus.
And let's not forget Cyberpunk, and NMS, and COD WW2... the list goes on and on. So many people shit on a game, look back 5 years later after updates and realizes it was a great game.
I love Starfield, and the more I play it the game keeps getting better, and the mechanics continue to expand. It takes a large time investment though. I'm about 200 hours in and can attest to this.
