This makes sense, while I am having fun with Starfield, no mans sky offers an experience that I felt that Starfield promised and did not provide.
This is exactly what I heard on a podcast today (unfortunately I can’t play starfield) and basically boils down to the fact, that starfield really doesn’t offer anything more than mass effect did like 15 years ago - gameplay wise.
Which for me is absolutely fine. I’d much rather spend my time doing quests in detailed cities and occasionally going out to explore over the painfully empty universe of NMS. And I love NMS just for difference reasons. NMS is like a relaxing sandbox game for me, but Mass Effect and Starfield brings the characters, story, worldbuilding, quests, factions.
Exactly! The problem comes when you overpromise and overhype stuff and then don’t deliver on that front - which is a shame.
And yes, you really can’t compare NMS and starfield, as you mentioned.
