    Reminder that starfield is playable and enjoyable, with decent performance and a complete game with a shitload of missions. Can Starfield be better? Yeah, and I think it probably will be with a bit if time. Is the space combat a little bit dogshit with really nice audio design? Yeah, it sure is. Is it actually out, playable, with boarding and ship building? Yep, sure seems like it.

    I don’t even know why you threw this example out there for a single player game that’s pretty much what everyone expected from a AAA studio in the current “optimize every dev hour per dollar” bottom line focused game dev style.

        The second half I don’t dispute, people play it and enjoy it. The first part though I’m not sure about for myself, I don’t think I can play SC, certainly not the SC I paid for god knows how long ago. I can play a tech demo right now, and that’s just not enough.

        I hope I cream my pantaloons when SQ42 actually lands. Until then, SC as a whole is far from what’s been promised.
