Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored' (www.pcgamer.com)

~~Did this game focus on anything in particular and do that well? Exploring isn't it.~~

I'm tired of being negative gamer. This game looks fun even if it isn't mind blowing, but seeing as I've never played a Bethesda game I think I'm just as likely to play one of the older games because they look about as good.

There does seem to be some people out there who are just radiating negativity about this game even more so than most.

I played a good few hours last night and it's Skyrim in Space which is what I wanted.

I don't know if it's the Xbox console exclusivity that's bringing fanboys out the woodwork or just that people like to attack a big, hyped up release like they did with Cyberpunk, but it's brought out the worst in people.

Wasn't Cyberpunk actually catastrophically bad at release, and then got fixed later?

Only the bugs are gone. Weird design decisions and some horrendous mechanics are still here. It's still isn't an incredible game, but not a bad game either.

Depends on your platform, PC and Current Gen machines were pretty good from day one, bar a few little bugs.

Having tried a bit of it, this game is fun. It plays a bit like outer world but bigger and with a more mature tone.

But i am really glad that after getting hyped in spring i actually forgot it was coming out. My gpu was not prepared.
