Get A Starfield Steelbook Case And Shattered Space Expansion For $10

It's a cheap way to give the illusion that a CE is providing more value than it actually does.

@ives74: Starfield has by far and away the worst random generation system in the history of gaming. Frankly, I don't think that has been said enough.

@ives74: Here is my journey with SF.

Me and an old buddy who have played CRPG games for decades were all ready at launch.

My rig a AMD build with a 4k 60fps goal. My buddy with a 3080 Nvidia build same goal. Now these are clean pcs (just meant for gaming, clean installs, updates to drivers, etc) We waited a few weeks before starting this game, both of us were busy with house renovations and work. So I think the game got one small patch. Anyways....

It ran fine on my AMD build, it ran terrible on his Nvidia build. Which there was plenty of press coverage about this to. But it did not matter, I think by 30 hrs in I was bored with the story, the UI, the world, the combat as well. Some parts were very compelling, and other parts were off putting. By buddy gave up also about the same time and for mostly the same reasons. But he was having a noticeably, worse time on Starfield with his Nvidia build. ....Starfield is a ‘bizarrely worse experience’ on Nvidia and Intel, says Digital Foundry.... I also decided to not renew by PC gamepass, until a decent game comes along. I played maybe one other PC gamepass, game that entire year of 2023.

I feel, that if SF world was more like that of Firefly. A solar system of goldilocks planets and moons that could sustain life (several dozen), and the farther from that goldilocks zone, the harder the worlds got, and the more interesting the characters and worlds became. (But still yet an overall theme, and unifying connection) The space exploration was its best quality but also its worst implementation of it. With many copy pasted areas, buildings, and NPCs. UI problems like eating, menus, etc made the game harder to navigate then it should be.

Honestly, I have been waiting for that 'itch', if you know what I mean, to jump back into SF after it has had some meaningful updates. So far ... that has not come. This game was a 6.5/10 for me, but some parts were beautiful to behold, a patchwork of varying quality. It did not help that you had games that were clearly tens like Baldur's Gate, and Sea of Stars on PS5, that just ran circles around SF in terms of fun and quality.- that came out around the same time.

If SF does not have a meaningful patch to its story, and world by this summer... It may just be forgotten to time like a NBA 2k 2006 game. Big when it came out, bargain bin after a couple of months, and completely forgotten to time.
