I spent a few hours playing #Starfield ... I have never in my life practically fallen asleep while gaming. I've never played something that didn't manage to engage me in some way.
I also never finished #Skyrim and that was mainly because I ran over 150 mods that made the game so much more interesting and the world so lush, I spent most of my time just wandering and "living" in it. I lost interest in the plot completely.
Starfield is the most uninteresting space game I've ever played ...

@thewebrecluse Wow. My experience has been completely different, but each player enjoys games differently. :)
@Synical It's entirely possible this isn't a game for me. While I loved Mass Effect and I still enjoy No Mans Sky which really is very open and doesn't have a set plot at all ... and I played Wing Commander and Privateer and all the classics back in the day ... there is something about the feel of Starfield that is sucking the life out of me. I guess I just want something new after decades of gaming ... it doesn't feel innovative or unique or different at all.
@thewebrecluse Gotcha. For me, I tend towards exploration, crafting, and completionist type play-throughs. For example, I was I think level 6 before I even made it to New Atlantis. I'm pretty sure I'm still on the very beginning quests (Sarah is still my companion and I haven't finished either of the chains her "friend" gave out), and I hit level 20 earlier today.
As my wife says, I've never met a side quest I didn't love, or a crafting recipe I didn't want to try! 😜
@Synical Yeah I'm not a completionist and maybe its because I just don't have that much time to dedicate to it. I did spend TONS of hours in No Mans Sky flying around, building a base, collecting ships and just forging my own story in it ... I liked that sandbox kind of aspect. I only just picked up Sarah ... passed the Vanguard test but didn't join yet. I just started off with her to Mars so I'm not that far in it all. I did most of the sides on Jemin to build up some credits first.
@Synical Mass Effect was the same thing ... touch alien artifact, have vision, spend the entire game ... and 2 others ... understanding what that vision meant and how your play into the overall story and grand design of the universe etc ... its so old ... been done ... not unique. It's 2023 ... I just was expecting something truly different.
