g*mer whiningI have given this game a fair chance. Maybe 8-10 hours of gameplay. But I can't go on. This game is really bad. It's just so dull. I feel like I'm at someone's wake. It's overly reliant on shooting but the shooting feels so bad. Especially laser weapons. The projectile look so weird.

I have not played it but i'll go ahead and say i don't think you're just "whining", at least you seem to have good reasons for saying you dislike it. Unlike all the actual whining i've been seeing recently from reactionaries online about the new Baldur's Gate being "woke".

Yeah it's just this strange urge I feel to talk about it because of how hyped it was, how good the reviews were and on the flipside how mediocre the game actually feels.

All I keep thinking about is the next (not MMO) elder scrolls..... AND THEN.... (Not MMO) FALLOUT!!!!!!!

I realize there are a couple expectations in there... I'm really hoping they don't make a fallout76 in tamriel, or just do it again for fallout

Haven't played yet and definitely don't plan on purchasing it at full price but I had a hint that it might be over hyped when I saw someone post a negative review and everyone in the comments told him to "go back to playing CoD." Seems like a lot of people frothing over this game never played NMS and I can guarantee this game won't have nearly as much added free content as NMS either. I'm okay with admitting that I like a game just cause it's fun to look at and that's what Starfield seems like it is, but you're out of your mind if you think I'm paying $70 for that.

I think a lot of fans are trying to convince themselves that their favorite AAA game studios are still making bangers and they're not.
