I enjoyed the game generally, but it's definitely soulless. They need fundamental changes for me to consider it 'great', and they just don't do those kind of things post-release. I rushed the main story and started a sandbox NG+ and honestly I'm bored. I platinum'd Spidey 2 and I'm probably gonna uninstall Starfield. I was gonna do all the factions but I did Ryujin first and it was very whelming. Mantis is supposed to be one of the best in the game and it was good, but if that's one of the high points of a 100+ hour game then that's a big disappointment.

It's fine. But 'fine' describes Xbox for the last decade. Not good enough.

Obviously not science, but I’m starting to notice a break in the opinion on the game with people who rush to NG+ vs. people who stay in their first universe doing everything first.

I think “influencers” were a detriment to the game putting so much emphasis on NG+ out of the gate, causing so many people to rush through the game. That was definitely not the intention of the NG+ mechanic.

I spent 250+ in my first universe doing all of the storylines (Ryujin is definitely the weakest btw), exploring planets, and finding fun side quests, and at least for me, that’s definitely the way the game should be enjoyed. My world feels pretty full and lived in.

This is cope. I've not rushed anything, 20 hours in and got bored. Spent 100s of hours in bethesda titles

People having different take on something subjective than you isnt cope, your opinion isn’t definitive.

Cope as in coping?

Everything has to be slang these days. That's not really how you use the word cope, but they're mimicking the whole "copium" meme commonly seen online.

Ah right. Cool. Thank you. This is the first I've seen it used like that so I was wondering if something new had come out. 😂

See also, the just as annoying use of "hype" online. I'm so hype, get hype, etc.

Well, I think it is.
