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

You're always welcome over to Elite Dangerous. There is so much more to do. Personally I have just started a real exploration expedition with some guys that will ladt about 11 months and will take us theoug 260.000 Ly. But I'd not recoment that to a new player. There is a lot to do to get your gear up, engineer it, get involved in BGS (simulation og political influence of fractions) etc. I have not touched the on foot combat part or the alien combat part either. And I am 1400 hours in. Although I feel pretty confident I also feel like a rookie

Unfortunately, it took you 17 days of straight playing to realize what many already knew before it came out.

It isn’t that it took me that long to realize these things. It’s more like, after 17 hours these things began to outweigh the fun I was having.

The game is fun, I think it’s awesome. I just also think there are flaws/promises unkept.
