ArtieWell, the "problem" is that Starfield is a good game or at least not worse than Skyrim, Fallout 4 and such. It's not absolutely perfect, as people are pointing to its flaws as on the videos posted earlier, but many of these flaws simply do not matter (like why it should bother me some other game has better ripples/effects on the grenade tossed into the water). But I agree that comparisons of Elite and Starfield have not much point - very different games, although they share some common points. Same way as none of these games can be compared to No Man's Sky.

Bethesda's trademark used to be handcrafted maps with a thousand points of interest on them. Starfield is a thousand generated maps with a single point of interest on each. Because you can't land the ship yourself, the game drops it half a kilometer away from the POI. You have to walk/run/jump to the POI, because there's no rover. If you go in the opposite direction, there'll be nothing until you hit invisible walls. That's what Bethesda now considers "exploration." Most of the POIs are generic, repetitive and forgettable, just like Odyssey settlements. We often complained about this aspect of ED, so why are we praising it now in a Bethesda game?

MitxelStarfield is not elite dangerous, get it into your heads, it is a space fallout

KotokuThat's a disingenuous wiggle out. pfft.

No, that's how addressing the posts in the civilized discussions should work.

ArtieWell, in my opinion, dispelling any incorrectly formed opinions, etc. is best to be made with facts. Also, in this case, I believe Saka had no ill intentions, just some personal gameplay preferences and opinions based on second-hand information (that although may be often correct, may be also sometimes misleading, biased or simply wrong). That's why I think is best to not immediately jump to hasty conclusions but explain things.

So, to get back on topic - yes, Starfield has some generated content/radiant quests and events. But also, it has a ton of hand-crafted quests and even the radiant locations (unless some boring stuff like caves) have a good quality, so it's not a big problem. So far, I had no issue with them, it adds some extra content you can also easily ignore, if you do not wish to engage with it - there is enough of other things to do.

KotokuI have 1600+ hours in ED and uninstalled EDO due to the abject state it's in, and Starfield is so much better.

I could hang around on the ED forum nit picking ED/EDO to death based on actual EXPERIENCE but I don't.

Pero no lo eres, y con razón. Tengo 4.800 horas en ED. Con solo 1.600 horas claramente no tienes derecho a tener una opinión sobre ese juego.

Btw, tengo más de 2.300 horas en la vainilla Fallout 4. que muestra cuánto odio los juegos de Bethesda y lo poco que sé sobre lo que los hace funcionar y lo que no. Si tengo una opinión sobre Starfield, sólo puede ser intencionada maliciosamente. Ignoremos que Starfield es el juego más bajo en Bethesda desde Fallout 76. Claramente todos están equivocados al respecto.
