I was only caught up with the news to its release date and didnt bother to check on it since then. I don’t plan to play it, but rather to check on the headlines and reviews surrounding it since I’ve heard some negative comments about the game. I know about the recent trends of the gaming industry but I was kinda hoping for Starfield to be better since I really dig the concept of open world and space exploration games.
I can’t speak for everyone, only myself. It seemed to be mostly a case of ‘What was promised is not what was delivered.’ They promised a ton of locations to travel to and explore, and we got a lot, but they are 99% empty with maybe one POI per location. However, what really killed it for me is the inventory system. Hauling resources around for crafting is an incredible chore, meaning your only real option is to use the lodge’s infinite weight box. I hated it.
