So does this mean the game is finally ready for me to buy? Just waiting on a Steam sale and I'll finally get to play this. Bugs or not, I'm not paying $70 for a base video game.
I'd say probably not. Unless the graphics were the only thing holding you back, this update does not appear to have done anything to improve the gameplay loop, menu system, or story content.
Compared to previous Bethesda games, it actually ran rather well at launch even when missing the features added by this update. But I'd say there's quite a lot more that needs to be done to call it a good game, with graphics/performance being the lowest priority on the list.
Id wait till post expansion and creation kit imo.
Reletively speaking starfield is already a lot less buggy then other Bethesda game studio titles. Its just matter of fixing parts of the game some users didnt like.
Nope. Worth waiting for a few more fixes and proper mod support.
Yep, as someone who beat it several times, I agree with this. Its a great game, but is unpolished at launch like any bethesda game, 5 years from now it will have memorable gamer cultural references and a consistent modding/playerbase.
With the love of using the game engine to create entirely new games that bethesda fans have, I'm basically expecting a Star Wars/Star Trek total overhaul mod within the next decade.
Wow, I consider a game "personally great" if I like it enough to completely finish once.
The playerbase already dipped below Skyrim on steam. I really doubt that this game will have the usual Bethesda longevity.
While that's definitely possible, Bethesda games always take unpredictable trajectories.
I wouldn't take it dipping below their most beloved game in player count as it being a flop just yet.
