I think it could’ve used a few more years, because its still not that fun.
Exploation is meaningless, which completely takes the fun out of it. There’s nothing interesting to discover.
The amount of loading screens and forced cutscenes was just painful. I was so thankful for the gamepass trial because I would have been so upset if I bought this game.
I would just love an option to stay in first person. Make the loading screens show the entire takeoffs and landings. We know the engine can already do most of it because of the glitch when you get into a random landed pirate ship and it takes off.
The cutscenes look good the first 20 times you see them but I don’t need the ground perspective of watching my ship take off and turn left every time.
7 years wasted I’m afraid
Wait starfield is fun to play? News to me
About as fun as NMS on release.
Space games really aren’t that much fun. They seem fun when I read about them, but they’re not.
NMS is the least worst analogue to Starfield, and I can’t play that anymore because it’s the same thing over and over.
There will be no Freelancer slander!
Freelancer rocked so hard, and no other game has come close to how much I enjoyed space combat in it.
Star Citizen is the ‘spiritual successor’ but I wish we had a quick and dirty standalone game that wasn’t in development hell.
Space games are one of my favorite genres and they can absolutely be fun. But space is really really vast and mostly empty and most space games are too shallow and/or constrain the player too much. Starfield does have some good polish and stories but is so frustratingly restrictive and non-immersive with traveling.
Space games really aren’t that much fun.
For you maybe, but I’ve got over 4k hours in Elite Dangerous and have enjoyed every last minute of fun, especially in VR with a proper HOTAS.
