Starfield's art direction is painfully boring. I've ben watching friends play. It looks like a totally soulless, characterless distillation of every forgettable science fiction movie in the last 30 years. It sure does look NASA, and NASA doesn't have an artistic vision, they just slap shit together in whatever way won't explode. The menus, the costumes, the weapons, even the planets, just look painfully generic. Like congrats, Todd, you successfully executed the NASA part alright. There's no way you could have made more intensely bland, vague, inoffensive rendition of space. There's no "punk" anywhere to be seen, though.

: p

I can't believe they made this shit instead of TES Six. It's like every 2010s space show that got cancelled half way through the first season.

I just looked that up for myself.

Fucking theme parks in real life look less stilted and artificial than that.

It does look like a theme park, especially from people who figured out how to leave the city boundaries. It's seven sky scrapers in the middle of a proceedurally generated forest. It really does look like a disney theme park in the middle of a Florida swamp.
