As buggy as Fallout 4 was I absolutely loved it and got me started on the Bethesda Train. Played New Vegas and Skyrim afterwards and those were great.

Starfield almost bored me to tears. Combat and Ship building are great but everything in between is just very average at best.

And then with Cyberpunk releasing it's 2.0 update and DLC these past week, I have almost no urge to go back to Starfield anytime soon.

So you're telling me that a game that is an unoptimized, buggy, shallow mess isn't game of the year? No...

Starfield just doesn't look or play like a game that came out in 2023. Fallout 4 was already behind the curve for it's time, and Starfield is basically just Fallout 4 in Space 8 years later. Rpgs have evolved in both gameplay and narrative and Bethesda just isn't keeping up. Don't know if it's a skill issue or it's corporate suits playing it safe and setting unreasonable deadlines, probably a mix of both.

Starfield may be a success financially and find a fan base for now, but it's going to be forgotten soon by most and definitely won't be seeing rereleases a decade later.
