Most Skyrim and Fallout games released in an unfinished state, but during their times we were too blinded by their technological achievements to see it. Todd Howard must've thought that we would still be too blind to see it today, because Starfield is a lazy, unfinished and outright disrespectful entry to the industry.
Its progression is mediocre at best, the open world is fucking barren, traversal is needlessly tedious and -- on top of all of this! -- it has one of the worst stories/endings I've ever seen in a video game. There's also the poor optimisation, the plethora of bugs it launched with... the fact that some of you find something redeeming about this game astonishes me. Starfield is an objectively bad release, and to enjoy it is to draw blood from a stone.
Maybe, just maybe, Starfield will be an okay experience after its modding community has years to work on it. But the fact that we are STILL relying on such things to enjoy Bethesda games is embarrassing. We as a community should no longer tolerate such practices from AAA publishers. But I know nothing will change! Todd Howard could shit on a plate and IGN would still give it a 7/10.
If you want a decent space exploration game, try No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous, or literally anything else. Starfield may become a decent play years from now.
