I was only caught up with the news to its release date and didnt bother to check on it since then. I don't plan to play it, but rather to check on the headlines and reviews surrounding it since I've heard some negative comments about the game. I know about the recent trends of the gaming industry but I was kinda hoping for Starfield to be better since I really dig the concept of open world and space exploration games.

In short, it's shit. Way below usual Bethesda quality. Their engine is patently not up to the task of representing their game ideas. It's a pity because there is some good stuff there. But not the main quest. It's genuinely awful. I gave up the game when I discovered what the main quest was, it's that stupid

Which is saying something, because the main quest in Fallout 4 is awful.

  • Be frozen in time for an unknown number of years
  • Get unfrozen, and watch your kid get stolen
  • Get refrozen for an unknown number of years

You learn that you were frozen for over 200 years total. It is most likely that your child is dead, just like everyone else you have ever known, so why would you look for them?
