I mostly hate on it because it completely botched a genre / gameplay type that I enjoy a lot (sci fi exploration and survival) and turned it into a loading screen simulator that couldn’t feel less interesting if it tried.
I got the game for free and couldn’t even be bothered to finish the intro. Just a wholly bland, uninteresting setting that at no point manages to make me feel like I am exploring space, or having fun. By far the "best" made aspect is space combat, and that’s only moderately fun either.
Bethesda never claimed starfield would be a survival game.
Yeah... The only genre they ever claimed it would be is a Bethesda-style open world game. Which it definitely is. People who expected the next NMS or Elite Dangerous were setting themselves up to be disappointed.
Starfield is a Bethesda style open world game like the Transmorphers movies are transformers style movies. It's in the style yes, but it's nothing compared to the original.
I'm honestly impressed that Bethesda managed to Asylum-knockoff their own games.
