Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC's released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the past. Some of the reviews sum up quite nicely what is wrong with this DLC....

Less content than any skyrim DLC. Less than The Fallout 4 story DLCs. Doesn't change of the complaints people had with the base game, writing is still at a 4th grade level.

Quick: If you are looking to buy my answer is no, you aren't missing much content. I was really hoping to enjoy this DLC. Took about 4 hours for the main story and maybe 2 more hours to 100% the achievements.

These two reviews I think really summed up what Starfield has become, $70 for an AAAA title that has extremely little buy-in from the community, horrifically low amount of replayability and can be breezed through easily. It's mind-boggling to see this

Huh? Why not? Genuine question, I never bought in at launch

At launch, for me at least, it was a cool lonely scramble to survive.

Now it's a multiplayer game with a bunch of super easy shortcuts all over the place, even outside of the multiplayer. I enjoy playing with my friends, but the solo experience is definitely worse now.

Thats not really an answer to their question, though.

Also I disagree :)

I'm sorry if you think I didn't give an answer. Because I did.

You answered a question with a good answer, just not to the question they aske. They asked about the comment - "it's not the game we bought into at launch". They were talking about how a lot of people complained that what the game was at launch wasn't what had been advertised - what people "bought into".

You seem to be explaining why it's "not the game you bought at launch" - which is definitely a valid argument too, just to something else.

Ah I see. I assumed it was a typo that was supposed to be "bought it at launch".

But yeah "in" totally makes sense too. Thank you for pointing that out.

Wow, looks like someone's got a a case of the muhndays!

I never figured a reason to even bother with multiplayer in NMS, except maybe to speed up base building. The only real challenge of the game is surviving the first hour, even on hardcore/permadeath.

Yeah, I have the permadeath achievement. Once you get off the first planet you're fine.
It used to be harder for a lot longer. Now you can just teleport anywhere you want at anytime.
