The lack of actual continuous gameplay being shown is kinda alarming this close to release (self.starfield)

I mean, we never got more than half a minute of gameplay before they jumped to something totally different. Nothing to gauge what the actual gameplay loop is like and how all those systems feed into each other. The bigger previews are all kept under closed doors and hush-hush.

I am not saying it is end of the world, I will still buy the game Day 1 since it is Bethesda, but it is kind of unheard of to have no actual gameplay showcased so close to the release in modern gaming era. It definitely do not radiates confidence in the game from MS. It is supposed to be their big game, yet they just show bits here and there

Last time I trusted Bethesda, we got Fallout 4, a game I still believe is just straight-up unfinished and lacking in story content. I think I'm just gonna hold off and wait for a few patches anyway, it's not like I'm a speed runner or anything that needs the bugs.

I know right? Last time I trusted BGS, I got a buggy game that quickly got better, and I played it, off and on, for most of a decade. Bastards.
