Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World" (www.vg247.com)

You'll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that's kind of the point.

I spent all morning dunking on the game's issues and Bethesda's design philosophy with some friends... But ultimately I'm having a ton of fun with the game, glad I broke my rules and purchased it early, and finding it basically fulfills the things I wish both outer worlds and no man's sky had delivered on. It's a good game, and it is exactly what it says it is (as far as I know. I haven't paid a lick of attention to the ad hype): a Bethesda style open world rpg.

I don't really want to like it over the small studio titles that it clearly builds on, but them's the breaks. If you're looking for a Bethesda style open world RPG set in a sci fi world, then this game will probably be fun for you, and if you think all Bethesda style games are garbage and can't get past their very odd design choices, then why are you ranting about starfield since obviously it's going to be that.

Lotta people just love to hate Bethesda. Including me really... but this ain't it.
