Bethesda games are always boring trash. The real game won't even appear for another year or two at least (after the modders have finished fixing all the bugs, the horrible writing, the design flaws).

Bethesda games are always boring trash.

Compared to the average game? I don't agree. Compared to entirely exceptional games like Fallout: NV, yeah. But you don't have many options if you enjoy open world fps RPGs, and Bethesda games are sometimes the only passable option. I mean, I'd take Starfield over Elden Ring any day, because of personal preference, not because it's a better game- but my own preference means I also couldn't say it's a worse game.

Hey surprise surprise a soulless corporation does soulless corporation things.

This doesn't read soulless corporation to me. This reads Todd Howard's bruised ego. He's one of the directors of the whole studio after all, and could very well be behind this decision.

Slow news day, eh IGN?

Amusing that the article gets the response of the first review wrong.

The negative review doesn't only mention that the empty planets are boring, but that the populated ones are the same locations over and over again.

I miss Games like Starbound. So much to see and do. Unbelievable good atmospheric Music under a Sky full of Stars while building you first Base. This was one, if not the, first game to give me a feeling of smallness in comparison to the Universe.

Me: I'm bored

Bethesda: No you're not.

Me: Oh

I remember reading that quote before the game launched. Weird.
