It feels like when Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim came out you couldn't escape people posting about them for weeks, especially with Skyrim. Now the most I've seen are complaints about how disappointing Starfield was.
Is the game that much blander or does Internet culture just move on that much faster these days? On the other hand, I do feel like there was a lot more enthusiasm for other games like Elden Ring, and sometimes you get an Among Us that just completely take over the Internet.
In playing, I make a point to at least get in my ship, settle my inventory, then take off from the planet first, it adds a decent amount of immersion over fast traveling planet to planet. For whatever reason autism had for me, something that really gets me excited is a vehicle big enough to walk around in. So I'm not skipping my favorite part.
I agree but what I'm saying is, ideally you should be able to walk onto your ship without a loading screen, and take off from the planet without a loading screen, and fly from one planet to the next. You might say that taking off and landing simply has to have a loading screen due to the how the game engine is structured or whatever and that's fair. But really, EVERY step of the process has to be a loading screen? I don't feel like I'm adventuring. I feel like I'm flipping switches to go from point A to point B to point C to start the next dialogue/combat sequence reach Quest 2 Part 3 or something. Everything about it feels so artificial compared to No Man's Sky
