Starfield's art direction is painfully boring. I've ben watching friends play. It looks like a totally soulless, characterless distillation of every forgettable science fiction movie in the last 30 years. It sure does look NASA, and NASA doesn't have an artistic vision, they just slap shit together in whatever way won't explode. The menus, the costumes, the weapons, even the planets, just look painfully generic. Like congrats, Todd, you successfully executed the NASA part alright. There's no way you could have made more intensely bland, vague, inoffensive rendition of space. There's no "punk" anywhere to be seen, though.

: p

I can't believe they made this shit instead of TES Six. It's like every 2010s space show that got cancelled half way through the first season.

I'm enjoying it a ton too. It's what I wanted no man's sky to be. Feels good to finally have a space sandbox to play in.

Have you checked back in on NMS lately?

I have, about a year or so ago. Did the capital ship stuff. I played it at release too for a while. I've been to who knows how many planets, over 50 for sure. Made some bases. Everything looks like butt and I just don't really feel like I'm exploring anything. It's just not for me.
