A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission (www.vg247.com)

Starfield, a game mainly about space travel/exploration, couldn't convince a chunk of its players to leave the surface of the tutorial planet.

Starfield has been out for long enough now that anyone interested in playing it likely already has. But just how many of the game's millions of players stopped playing before finishing the first mission?

Well, according to achievement stats from TrueAchievements, around 25%! The For All, Into the Starfield achievement is awarded the first time you go to space, which happens maybe 30 minutes into the game. After a brief tutorial and some combat, you meet one of the game's major NPCs, and he gives you his ship.

As soon as you leave the surface of the planet and take to space, the achievement should unlock. According to the numbers, however, 75% of players did that, which seems a little low considering how early into the game that happens, and how practically unavoidable the achievement is.

Be honest, do you actually live in the US? lol

I live in CA, literally entrenched in the history of "the old west" and I can honestly say not a single person I know has any cowboy memorabilia in their homes lol.

My dad had a little cast iron statue of a cowboy wrangling a bull on his desk at work growing up (a gift from a client) , but that is literally the only instance I can think of lol

And I also don't know a single person who regularly watches cowboy movies, I can't even remember the last time a cowboy movie was made in the US.. I think that remake with Chris Pratt?

I was being sarcastic. The guy is saying that cowboys don't appeal to non-americans...as if Americans love to see cowboys or something
