The legacy of Starfield I’m sure there are lots of people that are already convinced that Starfield is either amazing or the worst thing ever but personally I really have no idea how it’s going to turn out, and I’d say that’s a pretty common opinion.

I don’t trust Bethesda one bit when it comes to the tech side of things, as they’ve dragged their heels over better graphics and physics (and less bugs) for years. Their storytelling can also be suspect, but they do know how to make a good open world. In fact, I’d probably say they were the best at it, at least in terms of Western companies.

I’m not sure what to make of the space combat though. I can’t put my finger on it but there’s something about it that feels a bit off, like it isn’t going to be that fun. It’s not that great in No Man’s Sky either, which is the game most people seem to be comparing it to. I’m not sure why, considering they’re very different games and I at least think Starfield is going to be better than that.

But I don’t know, I haven’t played it, nobody has outside of Bethesda. I would say I’m definitely interested but I have a feeling this is a game that’s going to split opinion and it’ll be a long time after it’s out before we fully understand its legacy.Heldin
