They are completely different games though. Watchdogs 2 had less loading screens than Hitman 3, but that doesn't really mean much to say.
They are compared because they both are advertised as filling the same niche, of space exploration with emphasis on exploration.
Except they don't really? And I didn't see that much. Starfield to me seemed like it was being advertised as for RPG fans, and that they would have a lot of dialogue. And that space was just a setting, not the main character.
I'm not saying it to justify it, I'm saying that not having loading screens doesn't make No Man's Sky a better game. I think Star Citizen is a better comparison to Star Field in terms of style- and is much more empty.
It makes it better in terms of loading screens.
