alright its 2am and i played starfield for several hours. some takeaways:
- npc look like clay and act retarded. pathing is no good, combat feels too easy because they don't flank and barely seek cover if ever
- space combat is fucking gay, micromanagement of multiple ship funcions during battle with a clunky key combo makes this tedious and rewards are not worth it
- gunplay feels more in line with DOOM than Fallout 4, enemies aren't complete bullet sponges anymore. weaponry seems balanced for the most part and loot drops aren't incredibly rare
- dialogue leaves a lot to be desired and the speech check system doesn't seem to work or maybe broken -- the three speech checks I ran into so far I passed the hardest check every time
overall it's OK. it's not great. not really even good. I don't really expect much from Bethesda anymore but this was much more of a letdown than 76 was and the fact it's been in production for nearly a decade and this was the final polished product leaves a lot to be desired.
would i buy it if i didnt own it? no. well, at least not for full price. maybe on Fanatical or something for a heavily discounted rate. if you haven't bought it, pirate it and try it before you do.
6 hours playtime - 5.5/10
