    Cool, maybe I’ll pick it up in a year or three when it’s like $5 for the GOTY edition. I heard it’s a pretty bland game though, so maybe not.

      It’s still a good time, just not for a long time.

      They made a huge universe and then filled it all with copies of a very small subset of items. It feels like Fallout/Skyrim/etc had a lot more unique content on launch even though the ‘world’ of starfield is technically a lot larger and that makes it feel even emptier.

        It seems like instead of making 1000 procedurally generated planets, they should have made maybe 10 handcrafted planets you could traverse and find things tucked away to do.

          Yeah, but would have required effort and like, taken a while. They had their poor shareholders to think of.

      I genuinely enjoyed my first playthrough.

      After that I didn’t find the point in continuing, since I did everything possible. I tried, got sad and stopped.
