    God, I couldn’t put my finger on why I didn’t like it. I was just so bored, even with the exploration which I normally love. All of the fun parts of FO4 and Skyrim are missing. Just walking around and enjoying the world is completely missing, replaced by a pretty shitty space travel mechanic.

    Fast travel to space, then fast travel to another planet. Fast travel to the surface and bunny hop to an objective through a boring city/space station/whatever. Fast travel back to your ship and do it all over again. I never made it far in the story because I couldn’t be bothered to give a damn. The characters were completely uninteresting at best. oh average they were mildly annoying.

    Let me take off from the planets surface and fly in to space a few times before you lock me in to fast traveling. Let me fly from space and scream in to the atmosphere, shooting over the surface looking for a safe place to land, and navigate my way in to the city. Maybe 90% of the surface is uninteresting, that’s fine. But let me at least have some fun learning that.

    They made every safe choice, and lost the sense of adventure. Because adventures aren’t supposed to be safe.

        Starfield isn’t a great game but no man’s lie is not better. Both are kinda shitty. Norman’s sky was just way worse when it was released.

            Good for you if you like it. It’s still a soulless collectaton with meh building options and meh combat. It’s better than it was at release but it’s still a absolute average game.

              The building options are also better than SF though. It’s just much more intuitive and less grindy than Starfield is.

              I don’t play it myself, my brother does. It seems fun for those who love exploration, and the worlds at least have some variety and the campaign holds more interest than that of starfields’.

              Although yeah. At the end of the day we’re a bunch of peasants who are arguing over which type of moldy bread is best, while the lords still get their money for the purchase.
