I definitely did, but I feel a bit duped. I think they sort of let us imagine what the game could be and didn’t correct us when we were way off base. Underbaked is a good way of describing it. Old fashioned or arcane are also good ways of describing it. It has an almost gleeful disregard of modern “quality of life” approaches to game design insofar as it almost feels punitive. It’s like they filtered out the best parts out of other bethesda games (open exploration, random encounters and events), and amped up the worst parts (disjointed areas, loading screens). Most missions, too, are just mindless professions of “fetch this thing/talk to or kill this person”. Having just played Tears of the Kingdom and its breathtaking level of open-endedness, this game felt like playing with a playskool toy after playing with a giant set of legos. I just booted up cyberpunk 2077 today because the update is coming soon and I hadn’t touched it in a while so I wanted to see what was what. That game is already like 2 years old and it still feels 10 years ahead of Starfield.
