I'd say the planet exploration is similar to No Man's Sky

It’s honestly more like they took everything that was shit from Elite Dangerous Odyssey and implanted it here, especially looking at mostly empty planets with one or two landmarks and an NPC base or two, but Elite Dangerous at least had the Thargoid bases which felt like a much cooler and more exciting mystery than Starfield’s shitty main plot points. The only thing that really made Elite Dangerous Odyssey’s exploration better was the fact you could actually land on and traverse entire planets, and you also had fun vehicles to fuck around in on giant mountains and canyons and shit, both things Starfield lacks. It also suffers from Odyssey’s problem of extremely limited weapon variety.

I haven't played Elite Dangerous in probably damn near a decade, definitely not since the Odyssey stuff so I have no idea there.

Honestly, just don’t play odyssey and stick with the base version if you ever decide to come back. All odyssey provides is the ability to land on no to thin atmosphere planets, which mostly end up being Starfield’s planets with nothing but a few default NPC dungeons and mineable materials. It’s been long clear that the original devs with ideas of landing on Earth as a city world have long left for either greener pastures or to just be old and collect their retirement. The dev team is now mostly college age graduates and people just joining to add “elite dangerous dev” on their LinkedIn page without contributing anything interesting or groundbreaking, they haven't even added ship interiors which was something promised for a long time until it was canned because everyone wanted to rush Odyessy out to raise the steam player count.

Sounds like I should just stick with Starfield, for better or worse.

All I can say is good luck. Starfield is never gonna get better, but it's the only way we're gonna experience the NPC "magic."

*shrug*

I've heard people say this about No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk and a ton of other games that are now considered "great".

Even if it never got any better, it's good enough for what I wanted out of it.
 
People are saying No Man's Sky is "good again," but I don't see it, chief. It may have improved, but it's still dogshit. Even Cyberpunk isn't any better
 
this review was really good. not too long and go in depth how shallow and outdated the game is.


angry joe also made a review but it was boring.

I've said for a while that both games have not improved enough to warrant the praise, and people take that as me shitting on the games themselves but I bought both of those games and also enjoyed them for what they were before any fixes came out.

It's more me just getting fed up with modern gamers just jumping on whatever bandwagon happens to be popular on twitter/youtube at the moment and being an old man yelling at clouds.

Almost all of my problems with Starfield have to do with writing and lackluster quest design so I'm not expecting that shit to be fixed at all. Even if I never touch it again I still got my moneys worth with 150 hours of playtime.

What can I say, I just like (non simulation) spaceship fights, basic bitch Fallout 4 shooting and building ships I guess
