Starfield is now mostly negative in recent reviews
  • cutscenes of a ship taking off rather than an interactive first person view

    Docking is more egregious. It's not even hiding a loading screen, it's just wasting our time so things like the CF/SysDef back and forth take longer.

    and the same dull and lifeless NPC “AI” (I use that term very generously given recent advances) as we saw in older Bethesda titles.

    It's worse IMO, NPCs don't seem to have schedules anymore. Which is kind of okay, my least favorite thing in Skyrim was shops being closed because there's no "fast travel and arrive in the morning" option, but they feel a lot less alive when they stand in one place forever.

  • by locking many parts behind two different skills, Piloting and Starship Design

    And upgrades locked behind levels, plus not having all parts at all shipyards (or even all parts of one brand at their main location).

  • Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update
    www.half-life.com Half-Life

    Half-Life is back and better than ever. Alongside interviews with the original developers, the game is now available with the Uplink mini-campaign, Steam Deck support, updated graphics settings, new multiplayer maps, and bonus restored goodies.

    More people are playing Skyrim on Steam than Starfield
  • where 90% of them are procedurally generated with nearly identical enemies

    It's worse than that. The POIs are recycled almost exactly. They're made in a way where they could have been procedural, but instead we get the same dozen-ish of them repeated with the same things in the same place.

  • Starfield's been left out to dry at The Game Awards—and even dedicated fans are 'not terribly surprised'
  • I really regret thinking the extra time to polish would result in a game where we don't need modders to make things decent. The mod tools aren't even out and people have rebalanced multiple systems to be way better than Bethesda came up with.

  • Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam
  • The outpost mechanic is completely and utterly pointless

    I'd say it's worse than pointless. The only reason I can see to use it (outside of XP farming) is to make the grind for research/crafting easier, but it even fails at that since you can buy/loot any resources you need for less than it takes to set up the outposts. It can't even make one of the other half-baked systems less of a pain to deal with.
