Bethesda has laid out some of its plans for Starfield in 2024, including mod support and its first "major" expansion.

Just like Cyberpunk 2077, I will wait for this game to be worked on and get it for a discount later. I learned my lesson long time ago, not to buy big AAA games at launch.

Same. I think cyberpunk is almost done, so I'll probably grab it when it gets down to half off. We'll see if Starfield is any good after they finish it in 5 years or so.

Of course, it's not just like cyberpunk. Cyberpunk had excellent writing, good pacing, and an overall fascinating story with technically good writing. It just was immersed in a game that had many issues for many people.

Star field is almost the exact opposite, it's technically functional, with a hollowed out uncooked unseasoned potato for a story.

I wasn't saying both games are similar, but more comparing the situation both games not worth buying day 1. Developers adding new functionality, features and iron out bugs and performance issues. If I like the core gameplay and story, that's another story. But just like with Cyberpunk, I will wait for the game being worked on and buy it later for a cheaper price.

I'm just pointing out that cyberpunks issues were issues fixable with updates.

Starfields issues are writing and character, largely. Gameplay is rough, but not the core issue.
