I’ve been playing Starfield since launch, and in the beginning I LOVED the game. It seemed like there was so much to explore and do, I felt absolutely overwhelmed.
The game I had been waiting for was here and it was SICK.
Until now.
After beating the game, doing NG+s and doing general role-play; this game is just empty.
Every planet: 98% the same
Every random location: 100% the same
Loot in containers: Always garbage
Unique weapons: N O N E
Crafting systems: basic yet, EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED
Weapon Upgrade: ??? HAHAHAHAHA
Flying: Okay, this is the best part of the game
Fast Traveling: L O A D I N G S C R E E N S
Vendors: Less credits than one gun sells for
It just feels like all this game exists of is 12 different guns, 12 different random locations, 12 different geological features, 12 different biomes, 12 different forms of weather and a SMALL handful of unique and hand build locations that, to top it off: EXISTS AMONGST HUNDREDS OF PLANETS.
I want to play the game. My mouse is hovering over it right now. But I can’t bring myself to click it.
SINCE PEOPLE ARE ASKING: TIME PLAYED: 17d 22h 53m
I have thought about it! But to be honest, I’ve tried to get into 76 4 different times now and just haven’t been able to do it.
I know Fallout is supposed to be a game about survival, but practically having hard mode on at all times is a turn off for me in a serious where I appreciate the deep stories rather than the combat.
There is no survival / hard mode, that was removed few years back.
It’s actually kinda funny, Starfield has given Fallout 76 a player base boost. Lots of new players showing up saying they came from Starfield to get their Bethesda fix because they were disappointed like you. And in my opinion, the world is one of the best they have done.
The lack of quests was only a launch issue. They have had 5 years of expansions, NPCs, and added quests now.
