        I didn’t say it was bad. Just that you’re not missing anything if you don’t play it. Where do I say it’s really bad?

        Nah, but it isn’t that good either. It’s very much mediocre and would have to be as revolutionary as Bethesda claimed it would be to justify the ridiculous hardware requirements.

        Everything it does other games do better.

        Space travel and exploration (space and ground, seemlessly), as well as space combat? Elite: Dangerous.

        Story? Literally anything.

        Combat? Damn near any shooter made in the last 20 years.

        Dungeon looting? Just play Fallout 4, which has plenty of issues but none as bad as Starfield.

        It’s not bad. It’s just not good at anything. I have no reason to play it over so many other games. It feels like it doesn’t know what it’s supposed to be, so it doesn’t do anything well or interesting.
