Cool, hopefully it gets better over time and Bethesda takes the criticism to heart on whatever project they make next.

Starfield is a fun enough game but it could have been a lot better and a lot less tedious to navigate both in menus and in space.

Unlikely. Bethesda has carved out a slot for itself as one of the most popular and profitable devs. Starfield sold extremely well, even though the reviews and hype have seemingly crashed down back to earth now. My point being they can get away with mediocrity, unfortunately

Starfield is brilliant though.

I think it was just okay. Very repetitive and in terms of RPG mechanics and world exploration its a step down from even FO4 or FO76

It's ironic that the 7/10 ign review that caused a shit storm ended up being fairly accurate and maybe generous.

Yep. I’m a big fan of BGS and have played their games my whole life. Naturally I was super excited for their first new IP in however many years.

The game was around a 7/10 for me as well, which is fine , but left so much to be desired.

Overall, it’s a good game it just felt they stripped away a lot of things that I love in BGS games and expanded upon systems that I don’t particularly care for, nor do they give me a reason to care for. But I put a good 30-35 hours in, probably will give it another try down the line now that I know what to expect. Just a lot of other good/great games to play atm, and this one did not pull me in enough.
