      Yeah… The only genre they ever claimed it would be is a Bethesda-style open world game. Which it definitely is. People who expected the next NMS or Elite Dangerous were setting themselves up to be disappointed.

        Starfield is a Bethesda style open world game like the Transmorphers movies are transformers style movies. It’s in the style yes, but it’s nothing compared to the original.

        I’m honestly impressed that Bethesda managed to Asylum-knockoff their own games.

        They hyped it up as being as expansive as NMS. It’s not that we set ourselves up it’s that we bought into the marketing.
