    If you have spent a lot of money into something you tend to give it a bit more of a chance. Plus, tons of copers were saying “Starfield is amazing you just have to get past the boring beginning section”.

    It was all boring

      it was the second thing for me. Everyone said “just wait a bit, it gets good!”. It never fucking did. I’m a big space nerd. I loved every bit of the trailers. I wanted to explore space in some way so badly. I’ve played no man’s sky and so much else but nothing can satisfy. I played because i wanted it to get good, i wanted to explore space and do so much i couldn’t now, but this game doesn’t give anything. I wanted it to be good, knowing it wasn’t.

      Also they fucking removed all mention of the soviet union, it was there in the trailer, they removed every painting of cosmonauts, and statues of soviet vessels. The only thing that remains is a small town named gagarin. It was depressing looking everywhere for even a soyuz model and seeing them replaced by copy-past apollos.

      So I spent the last bit telling the CIA to fuck off and shooting every cop on mars. Only good fucking part of the game is when i murder cops.

      Same story with Cyberpunk 2077 tbh

        Kerbal Space Program is so fulfilling, the first time I assembled a space station in orbit took so much learning and I loved every second of it.

        My first landing on the second moon which had an irregular orbital path taught me so much about orbits and designing how to fit and deploy a drivable rover from my lander (and keep enough fuel to blast off and return) was one of my favourite gaming experiences.
