Starfield! So far it's a typical Bethesda game (and seeing that Skyrim is my all-time favorite, that's a good thing!) but without the bugs. It's not as ground-breaking as I expected based on the official hype, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.
Yeah, i was hoping for something a bit more groundbreaking, but it just feels like skyrim/fallout game with space story and pretty graphics. I'm here for it, but wanted a bit more.
Overall it's been great, but I'm a little disappointed with the interplanetary space stuff and the menu interface and inventory management are my biggest complaints.
The only thing I remember them calling ground breaking and something that's never been done before was the mcguffin of the plot; the "ultimate question." But even that isn't ground breaking. It didn't even sound ground breaking when they made the claim; it sounded like every other nasapunk sci-fi story: Are we alone in the universe?
I thankfully didn't really follow any of the media and knew very little about the game/story, so my hope for something groundbreaking was 100% my fault. I've enjoyed their games and had hoped they'd evolve some of the basic gameplay. I mean it's been almost 20 years since Oblivion was released, and while this is much more polished it still feels extremely similar - which is sometimes great and other times not so much.
