Starfieldplayers are gathering on Reddit to discuss the game and how many of them believe that the newest Bethesda titles is a ‘missed opportunity’. In a lengthy post, a user called u/Phounus is taking the game to task over many of the issues it has.
Among their issuesthey list several that keep coming up - the lack of on-planet transport, empty or identical planets, smuggling being underwhelming, pirates never attempting to board your ship. They come to an end saying “I feel like I could go on and on” and the problem is, many people could. The last sentence of their post is a simple “Anyway, I think I am done withStarfieldfor now.”
Starfield is losing players fast, but can Bethesda pull it back like they did withFallout 76?
I wholeheartedly agree with all points raised, especially in hindsight, the game was fine but it didn’t push any boundaries. However, I’ll leave it to Redditors to explain more.This fromu/ladyvanq for example “For me personally, what ultimately killed the enjoyment was the repeated POI with 0 variations in them, i don’t mind seeing the same building over and over, but my immersion completely broke once i saw the same dead bodies, same enemy placements, same loot placement every single time.”

Many of the gripes are the same; there’s a lack of valid exploration, outposts feel pointless, player homes serve no purpose, there’s a lack of real threat, and POIs feel shallow. It’s perhaps summed up best here, “I’m currently playingSkyrimagain. That games is still fun after 12 years. I honestly don’t thinkStarfieldhas enough content to keep me playing for 12 years.”
Starfieldis available on Xbox Series X/S and PC, with Xbox Game Pass subscribers having access to the game at no additional cost.
