I wanted to love this game and it did suck me in for 30 or so hours. But once I realized none of the factions mean anything and you can just join up with conflicting factions and kill whoever you want and then just pay off bounty I lost all fucks. What’s the point of being space pirate if I can just kill other space pirates with no penalty, and then go become a freestar ranger and a UC shill and still be a pirate somehow and nobody cares? It’s idiotic

I played for 80 hours or so, I really wanted to like it. I could forgive the sometimes humorous bugs and the endless loading screens if it wasn't so boring. Some of the side quests were OK but ultimately it's just not enough to keep me coming back.

I can never tell if comments like this are a joke. Starfield has tons of issues, don't get me wrong, but I'm still playing it because I'm having fun. Why put 80 hours into something if you aren't enjoying it?

Personally if I'm not having fun in a game, I'd just stop after a few hours.

[–] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I didn't hate it, as I said there were parts I enjoyed. I did all the faction quests and maybe 70 percent of the main story and just came to the realisation that I was finding it a bit of a chore. If I wasn't having any fun I'd have quit earlier but as I say it just became dull to me. If you're having fun more power to you, different people like different things.

So no different than every other BGS game newer than MW then.

You can't join all 4 factions through to the end in Fallout 4. At some point you piss off the other 3.

And in Oblivion and Skyrim, none of the factions are really opposed to each other, until DLC with the Dawnguard vs Vampires.

[–] Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

The only conflicting factions I can think of are the Crimson Fleet and UC Navy, but even then you aren't going around telling everyone you are a pirate.

Which ones do you mean exactly?
