I am confused by a lot of complaints about the game I've seen, namely "it feels barren", "id rather have 3 good planets over the 1000 procedural generated ones", and then theres the people with the same complaints they have every time bethesda releases something. I have seen only like 1 trailer for the game, kept away from all the press and whatnot and somehow I feel like I still had a better concept in my mind of what this game would be like than most others did? So many complaints I can just address as "it's a bethesda space game, and this is what it's supposed to be like".
Many people don't like fallout and elder scrolls, and that's fine, but if you dislike those games why buy this one? Especially why in the hell would you PREORDER this one?
And secondly a lot of people ive seen talk about this have obviously never played a true space game before. I've played no mans sky, elite dangerous, empyrion, heck I've played most of them and they are all barren, that is the point. And if bethesda had hand crafted these planets we would have maybe idk, 5 planets id wager that we could actually explore, which is the total opposite for what bethesda wanted to do here.
So many complaints of this game I just feel are "well yeah, obviously" that I'm struggling to find the actual issues in the game. My only thing that bugs me so far is how I can't fly around on the planets surface, and the lack of a dune buggy.
"So many complaints I can just address as “it’s a bethesda space game, and this is what it’s supposed to be like”."
Why do you have such an incredibly low bar for Bethesda in particular? Demand better or you help make the entire video games industry worse.
My bar for their games is high and its been exceeded. I would be happier if it had every feature I can dream up but if I wanted a game that had an infinite scope and an endless development cycle I'd just pay $10k for a ship in star citizen and hope it releases before I die. Thankfully I'm able to enjoy a game made by one of the most lauded and successful video game developers in the world and not be a curmudgeon about it.
Not trying to be a dick, just seems like everyone else is. Don't buy it if you need x feature and it isn't there, maybe they will learn a lesson and make the game you wanted them to next time.
Well said, and yeah
sums up how I feel about this game's reception so far pretty well.
