Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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' (www.pcgamer.com)

That's exactly it-- The game is what it is and will be alot of fun for many people. They'll have nailed some stuff and missed the mark elsewhere...

But all the spinning shortcomings as design decisions is off-putting. Like if a restaurant is taking a long time to make my food, just say "it'll be a few extra minutes..." Not "Actually the anticipation of waiting a little longer will enhance your enjoyment, so you're welcome."
