I, for one, am absolutely shocked that this boring game did not get better with a shitty dlc.
- the dlc hasnt come out yet
  
  There are three new missions. One of them costs $7. That is in fact dlc.
Starfield DLC: $7 for a single quest that lasts 20 minutes.

Elden Ring DLC: $40 for a whole second fucking game.
Starfield needs the No Man's Sky treatment but it's unlikely consumers would hold Todd's feet to the fire if he even mentions Elder Scrolls 6.
- Continuously adding fluff to a generic game until people start praising it as the second coming of video-game-christ?
  
  Nah. Actually, taking a half baked video game with good bones and making it great. Do you remember the first time you took down a capital ship in your shitty little fighter? I do... Starfield has a lot of good basic systems and a lot of ambitious ideas... it is a platform to build something awesome on if Bethesda is willing to invest a few dozen man-decades into bringing it to fruition.
is there a Lemmy community for people who actually like Starfield?
- I thought about making one if there isn't one already. The constant negativity here is really annoying.
  
  if you make one let me know and I will join, Starfield is one of my favorite games
  
  i dont get why people are here if they dont like the game
- So we can only speak about starfield if it’s positive?
  
  That's not what I said, that's a whole new sentence.
  
  You can speak about it however you like, I've just heard complaints a million times and it's getting really stale. I'm subbed because I like the game and I want to talk about it with other people who do, but most of the posts on this community are criticisms. That's fine too, but like, I also don't care about it, so I was wondering if there was a place with more of a focus on the kind of Starfield discussion I want to see.
  
  Like y'all can keep this group the way it is, I'm not gonna demand it change for me, just wondered if there was a place for people like me out here or if I just gotta suck it up and make do with this one.
I'll keep waiting until the game is dirt cheap on GOG.
- I'm waiting till the modders have fixed the more glaring issues, as usual.
  
  I recall reading that the game remains so bad that most modders have simply given up. Skyrim at the same duration after release had ten times more mods than this game currently has at a commensurate duration after release. It's that bad.
- honestly, even then it's not really worth the time IMO
