From what I remember, the space stuff is far and few in-between as far as content goes. It's mostly just a fast travel system. Thr combat is fun but it gets pretty repetitive as it's basically just fast travel to a planets orbit and engage. It's not terrible per se, but it gets boring fast.
It's not really boring at all. I think people today are so riddled with ADD that if it doesn't have explosions, flashing lights and monsters everywhere they can't hold an attention span of more than 15 minutes. Starfield can be what you make of it. If you just jump on maybe 2-3 hours a week, like all the time I have if that, it can be a very fun get away.Judging by some comments the whole game gets boring fast
I’ll give it a go. Will probably just end up spending the whole time designing a ship.
I don't exactly disagree but there are parts of the game that are just so lackluster. The quests can be both simultaneously amazing, and extremely lack luster at the same time. I did get a great many hours out of it, but it's just so inconsistent that when you finish up all the parts that made it great, it definitely does get extremely boring. Each part of the game seems to have that double edged feeling to it. Not that you can't get fun out of it, because I certainly did, but it more or less falls completely on its face at some point. It's almost like hitting a brick wall.
In a sense you're right. You can tell that this was supposedly 25 years worth of rushed through. The lack of in depth canon, fetch mission everywhere. I'm using a lot of mods so that helps, especially with the combat. I'm also doing a Fallout 4 playthrough in parallel with Starfield and you can tell that Fallout 4 has a bit more depth however I would never tell anyone to not play Starfield. It has many good moments.
I think I am beginning to hit the brick wall, been a few days since I've played and I am at the point where I think I will rush to finish the main story and move on. I got the game on sale, so I feel like I had a good time overall but I've just not been excited to jump back in lately.
I agree exactly. Now I can't say Starfield was a bad purchase, I must have put at least 20 hours into it. But once the initial shine wore off it all became a bit repetetive. There are still good things in the game and I'm sure some good quests I've not found yet, but it's everything in between. The last time I played I exited the game within 30 minutes as I just didn't have the desire to walk for 10 minutes to scan something or shoot something again.
Word of advice, never buy a ship. You get given about 6 ish throughout the game through missions & you've also got the chance to steal anything that takes your fancy. Once you've got enough money just convert it into whatever design you want.
I've reached a part in the main storyline that I find very intriguing, in fact probably the first time since starting the game where I am very interested in how things will play out. I suppose that's the thing with large open-world games like this, there is so much to do that you do the main story in fragments and don't get invested too much in it. But even if I focused on the main quest it still would have taken a long time to reveal the "mysteries" of the game. Which I guess is the point?
That's the first thing I thought of watching the video, specifically when they showed the vehicle using boosters to jump around it looked very Mako/Nomad like.
You can shoot the buggy with the resize gun, wouldn't go bigger than x1.5 or x2 max though, tried x10 & it just looked..... erm, buggy.
Which means I'm probably wrong about the DLC sales for Starfield...
Yeah, but im patient usually😁, i can wait for deals, i got valhalla for 20 bucks max i think, and can wait for bundles sale or dlc sale.
I am not an expert on the topic at all and there are probably articles on it out there, but I think about this a lot… games today (base games, not including deluxe/premium/gold/whatever editions and DLC) are cheaper than ever before, offer hours and hours more entertainment yet cost more and more to develop. In 1996 a typical new Playstation game was $50 USD and in 2024 dollars that’s nearly $100, so we are paying less today for way more entertainment if you think of it that way.
As long as you're not overly bothered about having the latest game as soon as it's released, its always worth waiting 6 months or so and getting on sale for say 40% off. I guess there's always an element of peer pressure, especially with online stuff, but if the game is largely offline single-player there's no rush. There's always that 'big must-have release' from 6 months ago that's just come on sale to fill in the time!
I remember a time when £10 for a game was steep. The games back then, also took about 15 minutes to boot up, so the majority of your initial enjoyment was "what was the boot screen going to look like once that loaded 1... line... at... a... time.
