I'm always sad to see so much dislike for this game, I absolutely love it and will continue to come back to it. Most of the things people mention are failures on their part to understand what the game is and how basic things, both in the real world and in game design, work.
Bold claim to say that the reason people dont like the game is because the players play the game wrong.
Even if it was secretly the goty, and you just needed to stand on your head and cross your eyes to really play it.... Thats still the games fault for not making it obvious how to play it "correctly," no?
I also enjoyed my playthrough of the game, and am looking forward to what Bethesda does. I've gotten my money's worth, but I'm hoping they manage to do much more with the game than what's currently available (but it's fine if they don't as well).
I also think that a lot of the criticisms are completely valid -- Personally the missions and story were enjoyable enough for me, and the systems were neat to explore, but 8 years on from FO4, and a generation later and the game still suffers from the same engine limitations, further exacerbated by the scope they decided to reach for.
Please, it's not that complicated or hard to understand that exploration in Starfield is unrewarding. It's great you enjoy it, but qualitatively it doesn't come close even to Bethesda's past titles.
The biggest issues definitely are not a case of people not understanding the world or game design.
That is an impressive comment, but I will just go back to playing the superior game, morrowind.
Comparing anything to Morrowind is unfair, and you know it.
