I didn’t like Fallout 4 on release and still think it’s the worst 3D Fallout (if we exclude 76 which I only played for a couple of hours). BUT, after a bit I started really enjoying it for what it was even if there’s still things I don’t like.
Starfield on the other hand… Oh boy. I played nearly a hundred hours up until I was on NG+2 just to see if I didn’t get it, expecting it to eventually become good.
It never did. Don’t get me wrong, I had my fair share of fun moments while playing, the combat for exemple I dinf pretty neat, like a better version of F4. The space ships are also pretty cool even though they ultimately don’t really serve a purpose. Some quests were also god.
But man, is the game bland and devoid of charm. It’s not optimized, the story is boring, the facial animations are still outdated and uncanny, there’s ZERO reason to explore which is what I’ve always enjoyed in Bethesda games, it’s not a pretty game except for some interior environments (That pretty much all look like a better version of the Institute from F4).
A lot of people have used the phrase “As vast as an ocean, as deep as a puddle” over the years and I feel like it fits Starfield the most. I had the misfortune of buying the premium edition so I’ll probably play through the DLC and uninstall the game again. Until then, I have no desire to ever play this game again.<
All of this is just my opinion btw, I don’t hate people for enjoying the game, it’s jsut not a good Bethesda game to me, or a good game period.
