Comment on Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam
aidan@lemmy.world 7 months agoThey are completely different games though. Watchdogs 2 had less loading screens than Hitman 3, but that doesn’t really mean much to say.
How does being a different game justify having loading screens between barren parts of the planet gathering resources? That’s the same activity people do in those areas in No Man’s Sky.
Cyberpunk doesn’t have any loading screen inside the city, but Starfield has multiple for cities that are a fraction of the size.
The whole game is broken up constantly by this, and having a story doesn’t make that necessary.
I’m not saying it to justify it, I’m saying that not having loading screens doesn’t make No Man’s Sky a better game. I think Star Citizen is a better comparison to Star Field in terms of style- and is much more empty.

It makes it better in terms of loading screens.

They are compared because they both are advertised as filling the same niche, of space exploration with emphasis on exploration.

Except they don’t really? And I didn’t see that much. Starfield to me seemed like it was being advertised as for RPG fans, and that they would have a lot of dialogue. And that space was just a setting, not the main character.
