Bethesda is responding to negative Starfield reviews on Steam. Absolutely bizarre if you ask me and despite media attention this hasn't stopped, the last response is from today pic.twitter.com/ay589tg8cc

“Some of Starfield's planets are meant to be empty by design - but that's not boring. "When the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there. They certainly weren't bored."

Starfield is pure soulless trash. The gameplay is barebones and the story/dialogue is just god awful. Imagine an entire multiverse filled with redditors.
“I'm disappointed you don't believe in science.” - Old reddit b-word companion
I'm pretty sure 90% of the named NPC's are black/indian women. Darn near every female NPC is a “boss b-word with attitude.” Everyone has Marvel-tier snark that completely falls flat and makes every character extremely annoying to interact with. They will oscillate rapidly between saying you are worthless and begging you to do everything to save them.
The voice acting is so bad across the entire game, that someone could vastly improve it by giving every character an AI voice.
I did a quest for a faction of people who were stranded for hundreds of years before I came to help them. They had no contact with the outside world and thought they were the last humans alive. As a reward, they gave their gun that was invented by the rest of the galaxy during their isolation, a future version of an M1911. Ironically, an actual M1911 exists in-game.
99% of named NPCs are essential, and thus unkillable. Some of them literally do not respond to any kind of damage and is akin to shooting a wall or static object.
There are random features that have literally no impact on the game, such as ship fuel, outpost building, health effects, and environmental damage/resistance. The last one is really funny too, because you start off the game being like “oh, it's warning me about the cold, I guess I need cold gear?” only to quickly realize “oh it doesn't actually do anything.” You can visit any type of planet without any preparation and you'll be completely safe.
Bros, I am unironically livid anytime I think of this game. I just wanted a 7/10 space bethesda game, not this garbage. These complaints are honestly nitpicks compared to the structural issues of the game. I legitimately lost respect for people who told me they liked this game, it's like finding out someone is a marvel superfan.

Lmao I forgot about ship fuel entirely. I still have no idea what it is meant to be for or how it works.

As far as I can tell, it determines how many loading screens you skip while traveling

The stagnation in games is really disappointing. It feels like other than Rockstar's stuff, no AAA game has really innovated since Skyrim.
Hopefully GTA 6 will save us.

And outpost building…I built one outpost and put a storage container on it and filled it with like 200k worth of contraband that I never actually figured out how to sell. I tried making resource harvesters but it didnt seem like they ever stayed fueled properly. I have zero clue what the defenses and shit are for.

The amount of systems that seem, like, vestigial is weird. The environmental protection stuff especially since it's so broken. I got frostbite in a temperature that irl I'd just wear a coat in, but apparently like 100 below freezing is fine.
It's strange just how thoroughly they whiffed it. Like fallout 4 wasn't great but it at least had things going on in it. Even if you stick to the main quests, you'll see repeating dungeons etc in starfield
