Starfield is an empty AAA game. And they LIED about updates.

Posted profits tho.

Yeah, it seems like these days many AAA games are just an empty harness for housing a microtransaction powered money engine.

I'm just amazed that, 6 months later, they haven't fixed any of the skill related bugs, but "fixed" the visual effects of rejuvenation ~4 times (it's listed that many times in the changelogs, anyway). That's bad even for Bethesda standards

I personally like Starfield.

From what I see, it's a bit like Skyrim in space and, to be fair, Skyrim is a really good game, but it's been 12 years. Bethesda has to relearn how to make other games.

More like Fallout 4 in space, minus any interesting places to explore, worse characters, story and base building.
