It's my front runner for GOTY, and easily my favorite sci-fi game of all time.
Discussion on here is just like Halo Infinite where people may be able to find a flaw or two, but that very quickly gets turned into "the game has zero redeeming qualities and you're a complete joke if you even like it." It's literally not more intellectually deep than peer pressure bullying from elementary school. It's fine if you don't like it, but you have zero claim on any kind of objective opinion. I think the game's phenomenal in countless areas, from art design, graphics, quest design, voice acting, to gunplay. It has by far my OST of the year and I can post 30 tracks as examples.
It's literally one of the best looking games I've ever seen. The scale is unlike anything I've played. That ship I zoomed in on in this picture is 3 stories tall, and you can walk around all of it. The scale of the space station next to it is just gigantic. And I have limitless examples of stuff like that.
This isn't even one of the big cities. The scale is just gigantic when you look at how small the people are. It's difficult to even take pictures of it. And there's layers underneath that, multiple shops, quests, NPCs. I've just literally never even seen a game like this.
I don't really encounter any areas in games this large, and all the assets are extremely highly detailed.
The lighting is phenomenal, and a giant upgrade over anything they've done previously - extending to even lighting the planets themselves. And they change completely over time, or depending on where you land on the planet and where it is orbiting the sun.
And a lot of the people claiming Hi-Fi Rush was robbed were actually the same people massively talking shit on Hi-Fi Rush in January when I said it was a GOTY contender. It absolutely is still a GOTY contender, but I think Starfield is a lot more ambitious and impressive, and I am literally one of the biggest advocates for Hi-Fi Rush on here, and I got shit constantly for hyping that game up too.
Several of the quests are among the best I've ever played in an RPG, like Entangled, or the multi-part Crimson Fleet quest. Even basic side quests have 3-4 parts to it and are surprisingly deep.
I will never change the minds of people that hate the game, and that's not even my goal. But if you guys can't even fathom that this is at the top of consideration for BEST XBOX GAME this year, then you guys are just lying or trolls in my opinion. If you have eyeballs you can see it's an incredibly impressive and ambitious game. It doesn't even take an argument to refute the bullshit. It's self-evidently absurd and exaggerated to the max.
Just look at the game with your actual eyes instead of being morons. And my pictures are just capturing a tiny, tiny fraction of the game. I'm still playing it and I'm at 315 hours.

Funny bug. Sarah was a little bit too close while talkingwww.neogaf.com
The visuals are indeed great but what in the ever foving luck were they thinking with these loading screens on next gen systems? It's hard to enjoy a game where you have to navigate am average of 5 or 6 loading screens just to complete a sidequest. That shit ruins this game straight up. It's especially tedious on console without mouse and keyboard and with each load being several seconds longer than PC.
