I guess I wouldn't complain that much about Starfield if it wasn't supposed to be this MASSIVE AUTUMN LAUNCH AAA EXPERIENCE

The critic reviews summary is interesting as a lot of sites I ain't even heard of (and Destructoid and GamesRadar+) are giving it 100 scores.

My bet is on smoll-bean sites not wanting to soil a future relationship with Bethesda/Microsoft because it's in no way a 100% game.

It's a death-by-thousand cuts thing, since it has mostly OK gameplay dragged down by a bunch of small complaints that aren't lethal individually.

For example, yesterday, I found out that Freestar Collective, the other great power of the setting, is just Wild West Texas in space, dusters and rangers and all.

The roundish nonsense is somewhat of a test on the ship-center thesis

I dunno if it's dependent on character skill, but this is about as wide as the game allows your ship to be. Due to all the hab modules, the weight center is somewhere towards the front, so it wouldn't help much in combat testing.

I currently can't do combat testing since I don't really have the money for adequate guns, plus, this is thing is under-engined.

God, some of those modules are beyond useless, and the game doesn't tell you why you'd want the six-door/three tile chonker engineering workshop. As far as I can tell, there's nothing to do inside.

Maybe I'll build less of gimicky ship the next time!

Also, it's technically still the Frontier. At least the cockpit is still the Frontier.

The happiest find in Starfield thus far

The only downside of bringing a 400-year-old rifle to a space gun fight is that ammo other than 7.7mm for the fucking Grendel (which I swore I won't use out of protest against boring sci-fi SMG designs) is hard to find.
