It just wasn't that good. Not terrible, but very bland. I put 30 hours in but finally stopped when I realized I wasn't having fun, I was only chasing the idea of fun.
I don't even like DND and I thought BG3's first act put the entire story of Starfield to shame.
Now I'm playing through Phantom Liberty and loving the hell out if it.
You're enjoying Cyberpunk, but Starfield was bland to you? Night City is sparse and empty as hell.
As an aside, the corpo storyline in Starfield is miles ahead of the corpo sroryline in Cyberpunk.
The Ryujin quest line is exactly what I expected the corpo background to be like. It's too bad the backgrounds/origins aren't fleshed out enough beyond what is essentially the prologue of Cyberpunk.
Yeah you put it really well.
I generally feel the same way about all Bethesda games. I'll return after some DLC and Mods have been released.
There is some pretty cringe writing and stylistic choices this time around. Space cowboys and Freestar were conceptualized by a child and the PG pirate brigade are embarassing.
There are some bones for a pretty great empire building mod though. Can't wait to see a sim-settlements type mod for Starfield.
Whoa whoa hold up, I agreed until here. Space cowboys are great, have you never seen Firefly?
They really turned Cyberpunk around it's so fun. I played maybe an hour of it on launch and was like "what is this shit", started playing with 2.0 and the story is cool, the characters are rad, the game is beautiful, combat is fun (enemies a bit too spongey for me but not awful, better combat than witcher 3).
I started liberty by accident trying to level up a bit. Figured i would take my leave and come back later only for the dlc to fail because the thing chrashed and person was not saved
Lol the same thing happened to me the first time I tried it.
I went to the assigned area, chatted with the quest NPC, then I wanted to just murder all the hostiles in the area, so I went to find a good sniping spot... and then the quest failed because I left the area. RIP that NPC, RIP Phantom Liberty.
I feel like I was so hyped for the Starfield release, but playing it wasn't as exciting as I thought.
BG3 released and I wasn't expecting it. But I've had such a blast with it that I can't stop playing.
I want to come back to Starfield later when they have had time to get mod support goin and whatnot. but for now, I have other titles to play to keep me happy.
