Continuously adding fluff to a generic game until people start praising it as the second coming of video-game-christ?

Nah. Actually, taking a half baked video game with good bones and making it great. Do you remember the first time you took down a capital ship in your shitty little fighter? I do… Starfield has a lot of good basic systems and a lot of ambitious ideas… it is a platform to build something awesome on if Bethesda is willing to invest a few dozen man-decades into bringing it to fruition.

I, for one, am absolutely shocked that this boring game did not get better with a shitty dlc.

There are three new missions. One of them costs $7. That is in fact dlc.

Ok fine, it’s a paid mod. Still a massive ripoff for such little content.

Generally, no. When it’s content made by the developer I do.

Sure. DLC is downloadable content, usually named that way to denote it didn’t come with the base game. Usually it means released by the original vendor, so anything they released counts as DLC, but in practice people generally split it into paid and free dlc.
Paid DLC are often judged as to whether its worth it, and people do get mad if something should be base game and is only available via pay, even if that’s something simple like fast travel or something.
I’ll keep waiting until the game is dirt cheap on GOG.

I’m waiting till the modders have fixed the more glaring issues, as usual.

I recall reading that the game remains so bad that most modders have simply given up. Skyrim at the same duration after release had ten times more mods than this game currently has at a commensurate duration after release. It’s that bad.

They “gave up” mostly because they were mad bethesda hadn’t released the CC yet.
honestly, even then it’s not really worth the time IMO

I thought about making one if there isn’t one already. The constant negativity here is really annoying.

Lol getting downvoted just for sharing your opinion. It’s not one of my favourite games but I do like it and am excited for Shattered Space and for bigger mods to come out. The bones of something decent are there, shame it wasn’t more fleshed out before launch.

That’s not what I said, that’s a whole new sentence.
You can speak about it however you like, I’ve just heard complaints a million times and it’s getting really stale. I’m subbed because I like the game and I want to talk about it with other people who do, but most of the posts on this community are criticisms. That’s fine too, but like, I also don’t care about it, so I was wondering if there was a place with more of a focus on the kind of Starfield discussion I want to see.
Like y’all can keep this group the way it is, I’m not gonna demand it change for me, just wondered if there was a place for people like me out here or if I just gotta suck it up and make do with this one.

Starfield needs the No Man’s Sky treatment but it’s unlikely consumers would hold Todd’s feet to the fire if he even mentions Elder Scrolls 6.

Starfield DLC: $7 for a single quest that lasts 20 minutes.
Elden Ring DLC: $40 for a whole second fucking game.
