Yeah few games has managed to pull me in like this. Feels weird when all I see outside the OT is hate and negativity, it’s still all I’m playing one month after the release. It has issues but so have all games and at this point it’s clear that it will be 1-3 this year for me.
Can’t wait for the modding community to ramp things up. Things are slowly getting better. Haven’t tried it yet but VBB seems interesting! Don’t know if it’s just created characters or NPCs too.
I’m just surprised that exaggerated negativity has completely taken over all conversations.
Is it a ”stop having fun!” scenario?
I have to say though, a single-player game with 100k concurrent players on Steam over a month after launch with a day 1 Gamepass version? Most impressive
Completely agreed I'm happy your enjoying the game as we tend to like very similar games. I can't wait to complete Baldur's Gate 3 to jump back into Starfield.
In terms of the criticism I think it's a mixture of a few things. I do believe that there's justified criticism regarding a few elements of the game that clearly could have been done better that I think is just for someone to bring up
However I do believe some of it can be completely exaggerated in comparison to other AAA releases that we've actually seen, Starfield is not releasing in a State in which it's completely stripped and void of all interesting feature or less scope or anything like this and it's not releasing where there's no base building or no ship building and 0 space battles simply with a promise that later on they'll patch it or update the feature or something like that.
We're talking about a game that is completely feature-rich in regards to its elements that link together to create a very unique experience.
What they do well is the aspect of playing roles it's this idea that you could join a faction or you can role play having an entire family in regards to parents or even a wife or husband, It does well at allowing the universe they created to support the narrative they're trying to tell.
Want to just explore different planets and build outpost based on some sort of study, you can do that
Build an outpost for resource mining...you can do that too
Build an outpost that is simply just a home to store shit, you can do that too.
Space Pirate where all you do is steal ships and cargo? fucking go nuts
They created more then enough to allow for this level of role playing and this simply must be acknowledged
I do think the bumps along the way is justified for someone to criticize but I also believe in its current state as it was actually designed it is a very functional and feature-rich concept that maybe doesn't deserve this type of ridiculous hate compared to other games completely locking basic functions.
In a world where you have people praising "graphics" and then getting angry at all these systems in place by another team that has all this crazy base building to the point where people are building entire fucking towns in this game It's completely insane but I'm not surprised with how shallow some gamers have become.
