I’ve been playing Starfield since launch, and in the beginning I LOVED the game. It seemed like there was so much to explore and do, I felt absolutely overwhelmed.

The game I had been waiting for was here and it was SICK.

Until now.

After beating the game, doing NG+s and doing general role-play; this game is just empty.

Every planet: 98% the same

Every random location: 100% the same

Loot in containers: Always garbage

Unique weapons: N O N E

Crafting systems: basic yet, EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED

Weapon Upgrade: ??? HAHAHAHAHA

Flying: Okay, this is the best part of the game

Fast Traveling: L O A D I N G S C R E E N S

Vendors: Less credits than one gun sells for

It just feels like all this game exists of is 12 different guns, 12 different random locations, 12 different geological features, 12 different biomes, 12 different forms of weather and a SMALL handful of unique and hand build locations that, to top it off: EXISTS AMONGST HUNDREDS OF PLANETS.

I want to play the game. My mouse is hovering over it right now. But I can’t bring myself to click it.

SINCE PEOPLE ARE ASKING: TIME PLAYED: 17d 22h 53m

    I mean if you’ve beaten the main line and faction quests, you’ve likely put in at least 80 hours. If you had fun, that’s pretty good value. Why does it need to be longer?

    I got bored after 30 hours, but had a good time. I’m not complaining. I’ll probably come back to it eventually.

      The expectation if you played Beth’s other titles is massive longevity. 80 hours is good for the average game but modding gives Beth games legs into 100s of hours. If the base game is already boring, that’s a fail.

      I’m far far far more than 80 hours into the game and while I KNOW I had fun during those hours, I also feel like it gives me a bit of insight on the things that are broken/lacking/needing to be changed.

      I made this post simply to vent about things that frustrate me in a game I want to play many many more hours of, but keep finding it harder and harder to do so.
