Reminder that starfield is playable and enjoyable, with decent performance and a complete game with a shitload of missions. Can Starfield be better? Yeah, and I think it probably will be with a bit if time. Is the space combat a little bit dogshit with really nice audio design? Yeah, it sure is. Is it actually out, playable, with boarding and ship building? Yep, sure seems like it.

I don't even know why you threw this example out there for a single player game that's pretty much what everyone expected from a AAA studio in the current "optimize every dev hour per dollar" bottom line focused game dev style.

You can play SC now if you want, lots of people to and enjoy it.

The second half I don't dispute, people play it and enjoy it. The first part though I'm not sure about for myself, I don't think I can play SC, certainly not the SC I paid for god knows how long ago. I can play a tech demo right now, and that's just not enough.

I hope I cream my pantaloons when SQ42 actually lands. Until then, SC as a whole is far from what's been promised.
