I wonder how many people regret their purchase like I do. I played 30 hours, dropped out and haven’t looked back. It wasn’t a terrible game, just not something that clicked with me in any way. If it weren’t for the steep price I would not have forced myself to keep playing even that long, I was bored very soon.
I thought I could try the expansion on Game Pass, but turns out they only sell it and do not give it to Game Pass users for free, so I am not resubbing Game Pass and definitely not buying the DLC for another 30€. What a weird decision of them, could have given the game a new push of players.
Even when I look at the mods available I am just not drawn to it.
This is only the second game that I regret buying on release (not the pre-release, I was at least not that hyped) or at all since Watchdogs 1, but that I enjoyed in the end, it was just not what I had hoped for but still carried me to the end credits. I don’t think I will see them for Starfield ever.
Glad that it has a fan base, just sad that it isn’t for me.
Same boat. 24 hours before I realized there is nothing worthwhile about the game and haven’t looked back other than to see the steam review score every now and then.
Funny thing though I have a friend who has put in dozens of hours since the expansion dropped.
I got the game for free with a video card, and it being bundled played no part in the decision making process to get the card.
So that gave me some leeway to play it and laugh at the absolute dogpile of it without being burdened with the crushing reality of having paid $60+ dollars for it.
Big agree. I bought it day one because initial reviews were good. Remember people saying Bethesda cooked? Played it till 6AM that day. A week later I booted it up again, and… After a few hours, I stopped and never opened it again. I don’t know exactly why. It’s exactly what we expected - Skyrim in space. But I think the realistic space-explorer fantasy and not very gripping story or characters just didn’t appeal to me as much as i thought it would, and made me want to play TES instead.
