MODERATORS
Remember when one of Starfield's pitchmen, in response to criticism that the game was boring and empty, said something along the lines of, "The astronauts who landed on the moon wouldn't say that the moon was boring and empty!"
And it's like, goddamn, you can't even say something like "It's meant to evoke the loneliness of space", just straight to "it's not boring, you're boring!"
It reminded me of Mass Effect 1 with the way the setpieces were continually recycled, except ME1 had the better combat and gameplay loop if you ask me. And it came out like 15 years before Starfield.
Oh yeah, because Mass Effect actually had some thought put into combat and world-building
Starfield is basically just "Remember Firefly/Cyberpunk/Stargate? This planet is reminiscent but legally distinct from it!" with Fallout 4's combat, but worse because they didn't even bother to make the weapons or enemies different from each other
I quit playing because I made a character to do unarmed combat and got like an hour in before finding out ohhh there's no unarmed weapons. Cool
I wanted to be space kenshiro punching things with like hydraulic power fists and they couldn't even give me that when their other fucking game is full of it
Someone made a post about how staggeringly bad it is lol

And story and was actually super cool for it's time
Yeah we’re talking as if ME1 wasn’t the coolest thing ever when it came out. It was a great game.
