I would agree that you would have to be living in a bubble to not hear a single good thing about Starfield. I mean, you can just read reviews (even the lower scored ones) and see what the game does well.
I watched 3 people stream it in its entirety.
So, three people had nothing good to say about the game?
Here, I'll say something good. The game has some really solid quests in it. And the shipbuilder can be a lot of fun if you enjoy that type of stuff, especially given the fact that the ships all have interiors you can walk around.
There, you've now heard a good thing about the game.
The shipbuilding was my favorite parts of the streams. I wouldn't say it was enough to call it innovative, though. I guess I'm really just deeply wondering what kind of person it takes the play that and be like "god damn that was innovative as fuck." Apparently, there is a lot of them.
The mechanics of the new game plus might not be entirely unique, but are pretty rare among games. Even just having the story acknowledge it in anyway is pretty rare.
