    Did this game focus on anything in particular and do that well? Exploring isn’t it.

    I’m tired of being negative gamer. This game looks fun even if it isn’t mind blowing, but seeing as I’ve never played a Bethesda game I think I’m just as likely to play one of the older games because they look about as good.

      There does seem to be some people out there who are just radiating negativity about this game even more so than most.

      I played a good few hours last night and it’s Skyrim in Space which is what I wanted.

      I don’t know if it’s the Xbox console exclusivity that’s bringing fanboys out the woodwork or just that people like to attack a big, hyped up release like they did with Cyberpunk, but it’s brought out the worst in people.

          Depends on your platform, PC and Current Gen machines were pretty good from day one, bar a few little bugs.

          Only the bugs are gone. Weird design decisions and some horrendous mechanics are still here. It’s still isn’t an incredible game, but not a bad game either.

      Having tried a bit of it, this game is fun. It plays a bit like outer world but bigger and with a more mature tone.

      But i am really glad that after getting hyped in spring i actually forgot it was coming out. My gpu was not prepared.

        Personally it feels like a lot of the promise of Mass Effect: Andromeda was channeled into Starfield and they took the launch version of the story in No Man’s Sky and ran with it. It definitely stands on the shoulders of other games but it is a reasonably solid iteration.

      The game is good, I have fun with it more than Oblivion and Skyrim, as well as Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.

      People are just complaining to complain.

      The only Bethesda game I like more than Starfield is Morrowind.

        counterpoint: there’s not a single “amazing” game of this genre. Elite Dangerous does the space sim perfectly, but it’s boring apart from that. No Man’s Sky has the wonder and exploration, but every planet is functionally the same. Starfield expands on No Man’s Sky with a comprehensible story and actual gameplay. Star Citizen will never come out. Did i miss anything?
