Starfield is just No Man’s Sky with worse vibes and better lighting

a year ago by Arthur to c/vga

Let’s be honest: Starfield is just Bethesda’s overpriced mod of No Man’s Sky. You’ve got planets that are mostly empty, endless resource grinding, and a storyline so dry it makes toast jealous. No Man’s Sky at least has color and a weird alien aesthetic. Starfield feels like a sad, gray PowerPoint presentation in space. Yeah, the lighting is nice. Congrats. It’s a boring game with RTX turned on.

That's insulting to no man's sky tbh

This is the dumbest post I’ve read all week. Calling Starfield a “mod” of No Man’s Sky is like calling The Witcher 3 a Minecraft texture pack. Absolutely embarrassing take.

Touchy much? All I said was the game feels empty and dry. Which it does. Maybe Bethesda should’ve hired someone with a personality to write the dialogue.

You’re not critiquing, you’re just whining because it didn’t play like your ADHD sandbox toy. Sorry it didn’t toss fireworks at you every five seconds. Not every game needs to pander to toddlers.

Oh, I didn’t realize “toddlers” liked vibrant color and engaging exploration. Should’ve known gray menus and emotionless NPCs were for mature adults only.

You know what’s actually immature? Acting like a smug contrarian because you didn’t understand how to pace yourself in a real RPG. It’s not Starfield’s fault you’ve got the attention span of a goldfish on Monster.

A little background: My partner and I love NMS, which we only just started this last winter. We love methodical pacing and slow burn games. Unfortunately, Bethesda has burned me enough times that I'll wait until their games are under $10 and patched a bunch of times before I'll even consider them.

My serious question: what makes Starfield deep/great?

NMS, as boring as it can get, is still a space game. Starfield is loading screen simulator with space paint slapped on.
