Yep a lot of people bought the upgrade even though they have gamepass because it also included a few days early access

Yeah I was one of those idiots. Played 20h the first week or two. Tried playing twice since and it's just too boring. Don't have any interest in every playing it again. There's just too many really good games out there to spend a lot of time playing something mediocre

I was one of those people, but not an idiot. Played 200 hours in the first 3 weeks.

Havent played for a while, but thats fine because its a video game and I can just boot it up any time I want. Im already starting to get the itch to play it again.

Each to their own. Doesn't mean its a mediocre game, just that you don't like it. Lol.

When games from over 10 years ago do what you do but they do it better, yes your game is a mediocre game. I'd argue Starfield isn't actually mediocre, it's just trash. Glad you liked it though!

You realise your opinion is entirely subjective?

I mean, I don't remember shooting down dragons in my custom built starship that I could walk around inside in real time.

Did I miss that part? Was it in the Windhelm magic shop?

Your sarcasm is just indicative that you are butthurt people don't like Starfield. Your low standards are just that -- yours.

Space combat in this game is literally "shoot with lasers, shoot with gun/missile". You can do cool maneuvers with your thrusters but there is no point because the fucking enemies aim for your center of mass so you can literally build a donut ship and cheese it (which the developers themselves have been shown doing in screenshots). It's badly designed combat and that's not even an opinion it's a fact. Any time you can trick the AI into missing you 100% of the time you have bad design.

The ship builder you praised is a cool feature but is one of the most complained about functions because the UI was made by a third grader.

When GTA 3 (released in 2001) has more responsive crowds and world building than Starfield it's pretty obvious they phoned the shit in.

None of your desperate points do anything to deflect the fact that ship building is definitely not something you can do in Skyrim or Fallout.

Like many other things in Starfield that you try and hyperbole through.

You don't like it, fine. Stop talking shit though.

I mean, who would actually make a donut ship just to cheese a single player RPG. Literally the most pointless thing I could think of doing.

If someone gets actual enjoyment from a video game by not actually playing it, then great for them.

You sound like you might be in that category, people who think the game developers are responsible for managing the player's mentality and maturity as well as game experience.

Probably why you don't like it.

I can tell you lack critical thinking when you call clear examples hyperbole so I'm just going to stop engaging. Enjoy dumpsterfield my guy

So.....still no ship building in Skyrim?

Thanks for coming, "critical thinker". 😂😂😂

I never said there was a ship builder in Skyrim, you did. Then you got mad about it. I said old games did things better than Starfield which is a fact. Cry about it more 🤷‍♀️

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '23

Bro i didnt get mad. Lol. You were just chatting pure poo.

How can the old games do anything better except random locations?

They have the same stuff, just Starfield has more variation and more mechanics.

The only thing Skyrim does better is random locations on one map and Fallout has some better aspects of Settlement building.

Thats it. Anything else is hyperbole.

Imagine posting this and not being aware that open world rpg games for the past 20+ years have had reactive crowds, real class building options and actual effective gameplay choices that change the story. 😂😂 but “omg the badly designed ship builder” lmfao you are exactly the target audience for this piece of shit. Carry on, trog.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '23

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion but how you can think this game is “great” is honestly flabbergasting to me.

Although on another note, if you have time I’d love to see all the cool discoveries you made traveling to unexplored planets (the ones that aren’t ridden with the same human constructed POIs). Surely your explorers guild has something for tracking and showing that right?
