Yeah those time scales are crazy given the end product. Much of Starfield feels like something a smaller dev could have put together and thrown in early access without nearly as much time. I think generally we are seeing a lot of issues with game design by business committee (and Bethesda’s stupid engine is part of that, too).
Someone downvoted you, but this is the only way with companies like Bethesda, in a world where the industry is as sketchy as it currently is. Might be worth a purchase in 5 years, once it’s on sale and the community has fixed it for them. Just remember to support modders, too.
I really don’t care about downvotes. I got burned with NMS and opted to only acquire the ‘totally legit’ copies of all games before making a purchase. Also almost all ‘AAA’ titles are blacklisted on my network. I won’t ever buy them or give them money or attention. They have all proven to be garbage bland boring piles of code.
I buy games all the time, but I’ll be damned if I trust 2 hours of playtime to justify a 30-50 purchase. No game is worth more then 50 to me, that’s gets into AAA territory
Yes! I can’t express how dull I thought it was after all the hype and superlative reviews. So disappointing and so… boring. I won’t bother checking out these updates.
Wow maybe then it will be half a game
Todd Howard spent 8 years making this game and apparently DECADES thinking about it. Incredible.

I’m quite glad I played the full version demo before spending money on it.
