Also, exploring your first empty moon might be interesting, or at least novel. After doing it 10 or more times like Bethesda expects you to do the novelty wears off and it becomes boring. That was even true about the Moon landings. How many people remember anything about the Apollo 15-17 missions? Most people had stopped paying attention or wanting to watch them, because it had become almost routine.

@@reginaldpitifuqmcgee420 Actually everything turned out exactly how I expected. I used to like Bethesda, but already Skyrim was worse story-wise than Oblivion, which was worse then Morrowind. I didn't even enjoy Skyrim all that much, I found the game shallow after a while. Then Fallout 3 came, which I didn't like at all, then Fallout 4 which was even worse (in my opinion), I bought both when they had a big discount. So seeing the clear trend, Starfield was the first game I have no intention of buying even on discount.

Zero freedom of choice Zero npc dialogue improvements, just lazy long winded spiels from Sam f##$ing​ coe and quest discussions you are best to just skip Through their that empty. The big hoo har they build you up to is just a repeat of the same game with slight randomisation of character roles and the same linear bs as the previous playthrough. And whoever taught tod Howard the concept of procedurally generated maps done us over big time. Honestly.. They should have just made skyrim 2, or remade morrowind or some other game they bothered to make properly with actual rpg mechanics. Hell even a remaster of skyrim or oblivion would have been more successful and took half as much money to make and needed less god Howard bs hype and 45 minute gameplay preview trailers that embellish the absolute destruction of the BGS legacy

What you're describing is the pacing of the gameplay experience. Designers, namely level designers, typically take great consideration in how far we're asking you to walk between objectives for this exact reason. Like you said, this is why during that walk we'll add a narrative beat, a combat encounter, a traversal puzzle. Just.. you know... SOMETHING interesting so you aren't just holding down W. Cracked me up when you closed your eyes, illustrates this point beautifully.

Skyrim is a game where the story takes place within a world full of secrets. Starfield is a game where the story is about finding the location of every secret. Imagine how tedious Skyrim would have been if finding every single Word wall WAS THE MAIN QUEST.

The problem isn't empty space. The problem is, when you DO actually come across a landmark, it's the same garbage copy/ pasted over a million times by AI on countless other planets. NONE of it means anything and provides no surprises whatsoever. In skyrim, every landmark has a name, place and story behind it. The open world here is piss-poor by every metric.

I'll never give No Man's Sky the benefit of my doubt. It's a company that lied to me, they put it out pure fraud, completely fabricated videos that they pretended were their upcoming video game product for years until they launched. Say what you want about Bethesda, but we all knew what was coming with this game, and they didn't send out fake videos to try to trick people, and lie to people, and take interviews in front of their fake footage where they posted about features they had added that, to this date, NMS still hasn't gotten. I'm not going to buy either game, but to pretend like No Man's Sky wasn't a classic, glaring case of actual consumer fraud is purely disingenuous, and anyone trying to push that game without the added framing of that context has an agenda.

They'd need to think of a lore friendly idea of how you can transmit at high speeds, because those star systems are tens of lightyears apart. It would take years for a signal to travel. Then again, the premise of the game makes no sense to begin with: a bunch of Earth like habitable planets with only 1 city on them and the rest is empty. Then you have hundreds of hostile hellscapes that for some reason have "abandoned" habitats on them, fully functional and populated by some "bad guys" who are bad just because the game needs them to be. Seems to be FUCKTONS of good, unsettled land in the Settled Systems, yet 3 groups of badguys™ just decided they wanna spend their whole lives in spacesuits on some deserted infernos of frozen rocks with nothing on them and just harass random people who also visit those deserted infernos or frozen rocks for ... reasons I guess.

It didn't have any bigger competitors because hogwarts legacy, BG3, Dave the Diver and Lethal Company were nominated for other awards You can't nominate expansions (idk why more awards don't have a "best expansion" category it might enocourage not trash DLCs) so Phantom Liberty was off the table.
