How many hours did you get in?
This is my question. It sounds like they definitely had their fun while playing it if they managed to complete the whole damn near 100 hour set of main quest lines. Lol
Im not saying the game is without issues, but it's funny to me how people can spend a ridiculous amount of time playing something they think is trash.
It’s not trash. I like roaming around “exploring”. It’s just that it would be nice to have something new from time to time. Once you get to know the types of structures you find, you’ll notice that even the objects are in the same places.
I don’t think I ever said the game was trash. But some things just seems so half baked, and as a person with as much time in the game as I have, I feel like I have the knowledge to comment on them.
Another thing I could point out is base building: What is even the point of it? To fly all over the universe to collect your filled up storage containers, to then walk encumbered to The Lodge to drop it off, to repeat it all again and for what?
Or the junk in the game: there is metric tons of it. Why can’t I break down a pan for some metal? I could in Fallout 4.
The list just goes on and on and on with things this game seems to get 98% of the way there with, then falls flat on its face.
Again, I love this game. That’s why I complain.
I cannot find the question you’re asking, but it’s possible that the person purchased the game as a preorder or because the marketing hype. Now you play the games and keep playing expecting the story to improve, maybe the exciting content will be there if you take the time to explore & find it….OH WAIT ITS BEEN 50 HOURS ALREADY and NOTHING IS HAPPENING…idk but sometimes you need to read the whole book before you judge that it was a shit waste of time
I think this is another great point!
The game was lauded as “Bethesda’s New Massive Franchise”, so obviously MANY people got curious. It’s a very valid argument to make that some played far into the game only to think, ‘hey, this isn’t actually as revolutionary as they said/I thought it would be.’
I dont agree it’s a shit waste of time though. At least, it wasn’t for me. I just expected more, and that’s fine given what was promised.
I think I’m at around 17-ish days….
I know I’ve got my value, I just wanted to place to write down my thoughts.
I come from other Bethesda games like Fallout and Skyrim. thought this would be more like them; it isn’t.
