For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you’ve already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!

    The space combat looks like it has the complexity of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

    It was an amazing game, but yeah kinda arcade-ish.

      To be fair, the realistic space combat video game genre really doesn’t exist, that I’ve seen.

      You can get pretty hard-realistic combat aircraft sims. Not many, but they exist.

      But in space combat games, you’re always playing something roughly like Star Wars. Which is cool and all, but just not what actual space combat would likely look like.

        Because realistic space combat would be slow and boring.

          I dunno.

          Real life naval warfare is generally slow and boring, but by using a variety of tricks, like time compression and only having the player involved in actual combat, many games have made that palatable.

          I think it could be done.

          Thanks, haven’t seen it before. If it does a release, I’ll take a look.
