Starfield Slander - "Nasapunk" is offensively boring (hexbear.net)

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 right there with you on cramming mods in to the game until it breaks, but I also waited over a year to play Skyrim and Fallout IV specifically because the mod community has to fix Bethesda's broken ass games every time. I'm sure once the community tunes up the combat so the bad guys aren't punching bags with way too many hitpoints and figures out how to spit in Todd's eye and make the spaceships do interesting things and hacks in FO4s power armor and a dozen other things it'll be fun, but it won't be the "vision" that Beth shipped.
