60 hours in, either I'm playing it or thinking about it. Hell, I'm taking a break from just wiping out the Crimson Fleet to post this.
Yeah yeah puddle deep and all but I like Bethesda RPGs, there isn't anyone else making sandbox RPGs to compare to and it runs good enough on Xbox. My PC was never gonna play it well.
No matter how much you hate it tho you have to admit the dialog system is the best of the atudios' games by far. There are so many Persuade options and the mini game for it is done well enough. So many skills and traits get brought up in dialog like stealth, security, wanted, faction, etc. It's like an upgrade on New Vegas's system. Combat is great too and impactful . Hell I shot a guy in the shoulder and he grabbed it and yelled "OW HE HIT ME IN THE SHOULDER!" which surprised me. Space combat is fun too.
Wish UI and inventory management was better. Wish I could fly off the beaten path and find shit outside the "space box" you warp into. But whatever, once I realized it's Fallout, not Freelancer I adjusted accordingly. Games better than the haters make it out to be, and that's without any mods.
Totally. People are too busy noticing the bigger issues and completely skip over the good aspects. They are there, else I'd not keep playing it for so many hours. It's sad that we can't talk positive about the game without getting hated at.
It's the same as it was with Cyberpunk2077, I could play it really well on my then new PC with little bugs. Even when you named the positive things, no one was listening. It was an amazing game then, I wonder how it's with DLC and 2.0 update, which I've yet to play.
That said. There are a ton of bugs in Starfield and if that's what values most to you, then it's justified to not like the game.
Yep about Cyberpunk as well. I played on XSX where it was already 60fps and I played it like a Immersive Sim instead of a GTA RPG and enjoyed the hell outta it.
