Starfield was ruined because of it's loading screens. I'm not someone to shit on a game simply because it was mediocre, or because it was fine. That's what Starfield was, it was a fine, mediocre game - if you remove the countless loading screens.

But with them, it was so jarring. It took you out of the immersion every time, and they were there so. freaking. often. I think there were 3-4 loading screens per jump in space, every door, every area, it was bad. Worse than Skyrim, worse than Fallout. I don't know how anyone in the 2020s thought that was acceptable.
