The last drop was when I realized that it's not as open and "huge scale" as people seem to think it is. It's kind of "fake open" if that makes sense. You cannot get into your ship and fly 800m east to your mission. If you click on your mission marker and click travel, a new instance is loaded and your mission is not there. You have to go back and run those 800m.
You really don't even need a ship honestly, you just fast travel everywhere.
I'll probably get it once the price goes down to 30-40 bucks or so.
100 was waaaay too much for this shallow game.
You actually do need a ship for fast travel, and you can travel distance in space (thousands of meters) to other ships or space stations in space, but yeah you can't travel to other planets manually, but why would you want to, the scale of the cosmos is just too big. People who were expecting seamless travel between planets and systems have never played Bethesda game before.
God forbid we hope for technical improvements in 2023, for 80€.
It wouldn't be an improvement, it would be really dull, would you travel for hours through empty space for the "immersion"?
Why would it have to take hours?
You already spend hours jogging on the empty planet surface in Starfield, because you cannot use your ship to fly 800m east to your mission marker.
You can fly thousands of meters in space to other ships and space stations.
But not 800m in atmosphere to skip a uneventful hike.
