Bethesda has laid out some of its plans for Starfield in 2024, including mod support and its first "major" expansion.

Just like Cyberpunk 2077, I will wait for this game to be worked on and get it for a discount later. I learned my lesson long time ago, not to buy big AAA games at launch.

Same. I think cyberpunk is almost done, so I'll probably grab it when it gets down to half off. We'll see if Starfield is any good after they finish it in 5 years or so.

Of course, it's not just like cyberpunk. Cyberpunk had excellent writing, good pacing, and an overall fascinating story with technically good writing. It just was immersed in a game that had many issues for many people.

Star field is almost the exact opposite, it's technically functional, with a hollowed out uncooked unseasoned potato for a story.

I wasn't saying both games are similar, but more comparing the situation both games not worth buying day 1. Developers adding new functionality, features and iron out bugs and performance issues. If I like the core gameplay and story, that's another story. But just like with Cyberpunk, I will wait for the game being worked on and buy it later for a cheaper price.

I'm just pointing out that cyberpunks issues were issues fixable with updates.

Starfields issues are writing and character, largely. Gameplay is rough, but not the core issue.

The 6 people playing will be pumped

@mike591 sf was.. kind of fun? Playing it on game pass was fine, I’d be pissed if I paid $60 for it though

@BruceTwarzen in that case it’s definitely not worth it lol.

I thought it was fun, despite some clunkiness. I also played it on gamepass and clocked in 100-200 hours. I intend to pick it up again once the game matures a bit more and receives additional expansions.

Bethesda's inability to finish a game and leave it the fuck alone is going to drive me to avoid their products on principle soon.

Are they going to add more boring planets, to make it more like real life?

Introducing paid mods is something I don't support but I'm interested to see what things look like when it launches on Starfield.

That aside, I hope they take the empty world complaints to heart, if they can make the world more full I am willing to return to the UC Shitcan and fight for my citizenship.

I've got over 100 hours in and all the trophies, nothing left in the base game for me, I'm not doing 10 playthroughs with 1 character though.
