Interviews said the game started out that way. It would be pretty stupid to put a definitive end point on the Fallout universe though. Admittedly, retrofuture space game would be way more interesting than this brown turd of an art style.
Endless content and worlds to explore. These are the people who radiant quests are made for.
Some gamers have a belief that the more they play something they supposedly hate, the more meaning (edit: or authority) their hate has.
Denial and sunk cost I think. This is the newest Bethesda game, so they have to justify to themselves when roaming AI generated environments. Then that becomes a refusal to look at the game for how shit it is.
Except half the people throwing a shit fit are the ones who were saying it was going to be shit since before release and like to remind everyone that they're retards for falling for Todds lies.
Pirate if you're curious, don't buy it; NMS got its own barrel of issues. Most prominent being all the features it has are skin-deep and are never expanded upon. Exocrafts are cool until you realize there is little to no incentive to actually use them. Settlement managing is cool, until you realize it provides nothing besides a small source of income every real-life 24 hours, much akin to mobile games. Whole lot of grinding for no justifiable reason except to artificially stretch the playtime. Looks nice but gets fucking boring very quickly.
The game scans what time of day it is and teleports the npc to where and what they are supposed to be doing when you load into an area. Skyrim did it but starfield does it worse.
Try it out, but I can tell you first hand if you think Starfield is boring you're definitely going to think NMS is boring.
I can see people using this as a way to counter the common excuse made for some games where people say it gets better later into the game. This is retarded for the obvious reason that games almost never get better at the end especially when they couldn't get the beginning right. It's also incredibly lame to make yourself suffer shit games just to win internet arguments.
All New Atlantis needs is some more apartment towers and office buildings spread out to act as filler and it would feel more of an actual capital city. The MAT quick travel system is pathetic because you can easily run from district to district in the same time it would take for the loadscreens. I think a part of it is failed worldbuilding though as New Atlantis is supposed to be built up from the original colony ship so the city should be far more horizontal layers than it actually is.
New Atlantis was supposed to be build from parts of the original colony ship? So you're telling me they went for Megaton again, but failed? That makes the city even sadder. I wonder what it was supposed to look like in concept art?
Yeah you can ask the medic in the Well how they have access to a medical facility and she mentions how it was the original medbay from the colony ship and as they built the city up atop the original ship they just left the medbay and forgot about it.
Gothic managed to ger NPC routunes working in 2000s
Sometimes, it's because the mechanics don't click right out of the gate until the player figures them out a little more. Sometimes, it's because the mechanics are held back an hour or so, for gameplay or story reasons. Sometimes, it just takes time to get accustomed to the jank. Starfield is not these things.
That might offend somebody, so we can't have that
