Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

    I can’t tell if I don’t like Starfield, or playing games anymore. I got it on September 1st, and played it for a few hours that night. I played it for a couple hours the night after that, and then I played it for like 30 minutes yesterday. I haven’t really been hardcore about any game since before the pandemic. It’s not the same now that my gaming machine lives at the desk that is also my home office. I’ve typically wanted to just get out of this room when work is done, so a game has to be really good to keep me sitting here.

      I’m with you. The intro was pretty lackluster, the main campaign doesn’t interest me at all, and new Atlantis kinda sucks imo

      Then I joined the crimson fleet and suddenly 50 hours was gone.

      Not that buying more stuff is ever the answer but… As someone who also spends way too much time at the same desk, getting a Steam Deck has totally revamped my love for gaming. Most of the time I’m not bringing it out with me (although I have traveled with it), but just being able to play PC games from bed, on the couch, or even outside in the back yard has been a ton of fun for me.
