The most infuriating thing about Starfield is its potential. Another year to flesh out the system with a few interesting spots and work out the NPC quirks and that alone would bump it up from high C tier to B. Fundamentally the game just could have been amazing and that is perhaps the biggest reason why I'm, at least, so disappointed by Bethesda. Lots of honestly rather little issues that culminate into a mediocre experience that can and does often get boring quickly.
Kinda with you on this. I'm stilling playing Starfield, and I still think it's fun. But it isn't "great" and it could've been with a bit more attention to detail.
but I doubt bethesda, with another year.. with another 5 years, could have made anything better than what they have now. So I dont think that potential will ever be realized.
