Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

There does seem to be some people out there who are just radiating negativity about this game even more so than most.

I played a good few hours last night and it's Skyrim in Space which is what I wanted.

I don't know if it's the Xbox console exclusivity that's bringing fanboys out the woodwork or just that people like to attack a big, hyped up release like they did with Cyberpunk, but it's brought out the worst in people.

Wasn't Cyberpunk actually catastrophically bad at release, and then got fixed later?

Depends on your platform, PC and Current Gen machines were pretty good from day one, bar a few little bugs.

Only the bugs are gone. Weird design decisions and some horrendous mechanics are still here. It's still isn't an incredible game, but not a bad game either.
