Makes you wonder what they spent all that development time doing? It's not like they had to reinvent the wheel and make an all new engine.

I've sunk more time into it than it deserves and I think maybe 50% of the content that feels unfinished or half baked might have been gutted. It feels like there was more there at one point and it got hacked off and spackled over.

They spent half the time fighting with their truly terrible engine. So many hacky work around for limited engine capabilities it's ridiculous.

They would be off if they just used Unreal, I honestly don't know what they're doing.

Same. I got two copies, actually. One with my CPU and the other with my GPU. My daughter and I both lost interest after the first day when I asked her last week if she had played it at all.

I played the game for at most 2 hours, and I feel ripped off. If it was an outright bad game at least those 2 hours would be fun. But, starfield isn’t even bad, just boring.
