No that's not the reason why Starfield isn't as good as it should be. The reason why is because they were overly ambitious and instead of having a few planets ie Mass effect with full explorable locations and interesting things to do, they chose quanitity over quality.
Elder scrolls and Fallout has some of the deepest lore in any game, and that's down to Bethesda, if they are good at anything, it's world building. So I don't accept your criticism.

Exactly what I did, I'm gunna do another playthrough, but upon reflection I think the GameSpot and IGN reviews pretty spot on. It's a good game, just an extremely shallow one.
Did I not just say that it has faults? Including like when you said, the world lack immersion and interactivity, but the scope and scale of it is the best I've ever seen. Plus the section that mentions the city was basically complaining that you had to download seedy ads to make up for it.. make up for what exactly? They complained about the visual design, so that's what I'm refering to, because you know, that's on topic.
Let me guess, you're one of thes...
I get what you mean, there's a few side jobs with the police involved, Rivers whole quest line is police orientated.
I know what you mean, but how are you going to balance when and where the police to show up without frustrating the player? It's no different to GTA's approach for me so.
You said Starfield ran better than Cyberpunk... that's just not true at all. I don't care what PC you have that's just false.
Glad I switched to PC a while ago, Consoles are great but the communities are more toxic than ever, like how sad are people's lives to be arguing over plastic boxes man.
Saying you've played a game for 1000 hours and then complaining about the most stupid things I've ever read doesn't really say much.
I walked to the moon me stark arse naked, took me 1000 hours.
See what I did there....
People who talk nonsense also tend to lie. Like I said, someone who actually knows the game knows it's faults, and none are any of what the article mentions.
You should just start a new character..
I mean, you're a Merc that gets paid for killing people, I think it's a great system. Are you meant to be a cyberpsycho and start killing everyone in sight to get max tac on you? No, but it's damn fun and that's what gaming is about
Starfield doesn't run well on any rig just fine. I got sub 40fps at some points in that game in the cities at 1440p. This is at least 2x more performance in this game for me with much better visuals (granted with FG but still), and I really enjoyed Starfield don't get me wrong.
I'd say to the people having issues on PC to turn of your mods as they said mods that aren't up to date can effect performance and crash.
I've seen none of them other than the burned car which yeah while a glitch made me laugh out loud. It's genuinely a great update, I'm sure there's some kinks to work out but I've not had one crash, in fact I'm getting the best performance I've ever got on the game. Getting 100fps+ mostly with Psycho Ray tracing max settings on a 4070ti with FG and dlss quality.
Maybe your rig isn't good enough? Idk.
Well one point he said you need to download a mod that basically just shows naked women in ads to improve night city.
I mean, I'm no prude and Cyberpunk should have sexuality as it's part of the genre, but seriously?
Yeah I think all of this is bollocks tbh.
Cop system is now on par with any open world game that features it, if not better with the boss fight at the end featuring max tac etc. Complaining that cops won't come after you unless you do something wrong is probably one of the most stupid things I've ever read.
The new changes to the leveling system vastly improve combat and allow extra flexibility, I mean, you can jump out of cars, air dash, deflect ...
Genuinely don't think there's been a bigger fuck up of a company I can think of in gaming. Buy all these IP and studios and then close them all down, wtf.
Think you've already fucked it, it's a shame because I do think Unreal 5 needs competition as it's shown so far not an incredibly performant unoptimised engine probably targeted at the next round of GPU's (nothing wrong with future proofing but games running at sub 60fps on a 4090, a £1600 card is a joke.)
Glad there's still Decima and RE engine, also would love to see other FPS titles use the ID engine, brilliant engine.
At the end of the day more people playing the game the better.
Very much impressed with this year of games. Maybe one of the best ever. RE:4 Remake, FF16, Baldurs gate 3, Starfield, Phantom Liberty, and I'm still planning on picking up Spiderman 2 and Forza. And that's just what I've managed to play this year!
Great time for gamers, bad time for wallets 😂
I get that a lot of people like phyiscal media, but can we not blame Xbox for it's death? Steam, Netflix, Amazon etc are more culpable by tenfold than Xbox. It's not nice for the people who like it but it is what it is.
Maybe I'm just desensitised to it due to being primarily a PC player. It's been like this for us for over 2 decades now, steam launched in 2003.
They're free? What's your problem? You want games you wanna play, buy them.
Hahahaha! I don't think that could be possible 😂
While I partly agree, it's no way near as bad as most are making out, it's just an above average to good game. Which yeah, isn't really good enough for the wait that a lot of Xbox fans had to endure.
