Starfield Opinions

I just downloaded it a few days ago. Spent maybe about 4-5 hours. Just got to New Atlantis.

So far I’m kind of enjoying it. I do feel a bit robbed with space travel at this moment. Guess I’m used to it was expecting No Man’s Sky.

Everything else has been okay. I’ll play more and see how long it will hold my interest and form an actual opinion.

I think I made it like 10-15 hours before giving up. It didn't hold my attention. It was a pretty big let down, imo.

While I haven't played it, the general consensus is that while Fallout 4 (not that you asked) is a good game in which Bethesda forgot what a Fallout game should be, Starfield is a mediocre game in which Bethesda forgot what a Bethesda game should be.

Game just made me want to play No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous

i havent played since the PC release so take this with that in consideration.

A completely mediocre game. Not very pretty, innovative, or inspired. It performs competently, does what you expect.

an ok play through that is not very memorable afterwards.

I get why people find it boring or "meh", I have issues with it as well, but I have close to 200 hours in it. Being a big Bethesda fan, it makes sense, but it's been a lot of "trying to find the Bethesda fun" for me, which is frustrating with so much procedural content to sift through.

They just announced a big update coming out next week, a Terran Armada DLC and a new mechanic called Free Lanes which allows you to free fly between planets in a system, which will add new destinations and content. A lot of people who did a behind the scenes preview of this content have been raving about it. They also recently released new bounties through the Tracker Alliance. Fans were loving the new quests so I've jumped on that recently and they've been a blast.

A constant tip I hear to help find the hand made content is to pay close attention to the Activities. Most of it has been really good and I feel it's designed to help you make the rounds in their universe.
