Bethesda have released a surprise Beta update for Starfield. The update brings with it numerous bug fixes, Creation Kit upgrades and there's even a new Very Low graphics setting option.
It’s hard to sum up an experience in so few words but I’ll give it a try:
Fallout 4 has very high point of interest density and is also very colorful and filled with countless little fragments of an exciting culture that is the sci-fi 1950s lost to an atomic war apocalypse.
Starfield is just “you’re in space, enjoy it” and leaves you in this uncurated machine crafted literal desert. It’s the first of any Bethesda title to officially use procedural generation extensively.
That’s a pretty good summation lol. I played it for maybe 10-12 hours when it came out. And I actually did enjoy a lot of aspects of it. Truly. But it just didn’t hold my attention after that little honeymoon period. Once the allure of “cool, I’m doing space stuff” was gone, that was it. Just felt repetitive and grindy after a while.
