I’m not sure how you can argue that. Starfield does have some of mass effect’s fun, but also I can build my own ship, dogfight a group of mercs in it, play house with the parts, disable and board a pirate ship in zero g… mass effect, in turn, has a much tighter story and gameplay loop. The core similarity is, what, that they have a space looter-shooter component?
They’re different games. Starfield is kind of a fusion of mass effect and no man’s sky, there are plenty of similarities between the three but also a lot of differences.
This was more or less the take from a (german) podcast, where they talked about their Starfield impressions.
Unfortunately my PC can’t run the game and I have to find a excuse to finally upgrade some parts to play it, so my impressions only come from other people either playing or talking about it.
I will 100% play, because it is right up my ally and there a certainly many cool things to do and stuff to explore.
But for some reason I didn’t quite turned out to be THE game to play, if you know what I mean?
I’m not too surprised it isn’t ‘the’ game to play, myself, but I am surprised at the amount of backlash against it online. It seems to me to be everything it says it will be on the tin, warts and all
That seems to be part of it. I haven’t paid any attention to any of the news before it launchedd, because I don’t give a damn about console wars or todd howard. I just got the game because my friends were playing it and it sounded like something I’d really like, and it was.
Me neither haha, it’s still mostly from the same podcast and a few meme post from our group chat.
The whole console war thing as stupid as the whole exclusivity thing…
If I could play Starfield right now, I would, but I also have no problem in waiting until it gets patched (which is the case with a lot of games lately).

I assume it is in part due to the Bethesda acquisition of Microsoft and that Starfield was destined to be the next big exclusive game for Xbox.
And Todd Howard’s comments about needing better hardware to play the game also didn’t help.
