For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you've already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!
Discuss all things Starfield below!
My experience is much like the others are saying in here. My initial response was oh wow it's like no mans sky, but worse. I'm mostly underwhelmed with it after a few hours of game play, and I'm torn between grinding along, hoping it gets better, or getting a refund before I've played for too long.
That's the part that scares me, I've played no man's sky, it was fun for a short while but then got tired pretty quickly.
If this game keeps getting compared to no man's sky and is said to come up short, then I'm definitely gonna wait to try it for cheap.
I think this game will have more story focus to it than no man's sky, which is why I'm hesitant to make such a snap decision as I've barely gotten into the story.
That's a fair point. Could you do me a favor and let me know how it is?
I plan to play some more today, so I will happily give you my impressions once I've gotten into it a bit further.
Update: I played for around 8 hours yesterday and can now say that once you get through the whole "tutorial" bit of the game, the story starts to become more evident, and I no longer feel like it's a worse version of no man's sky. After the first hour or two (depending on how quickly you play), it starts having the type of Bethesda RPG vibes you'd expect from a Bethesda RPG. I've been enjoying it.
Thank you. I might try it out via game pass.
