First, you can disagree with my opinion and it's totally fine.
Sencond stop commenting every line out of the context of my answer. It makes your answer extremely long to say nothing.
I was saying that the arguments didn't make sense other than "buy it and ignore the issues" mentality, now maybe I understand better your point.
For my my point? It's on the Niktek channel.
Whatever the game is. It could cost 60$ whatever I don't care if it's bad or not, it's just a game. What I care about is if the game is worth that amount of money. And in my opinion it isn't, or maybe if you just want to play a sandbox with loading screens.
If you want game faults it's mostly on the technical, immersion + developer implication in story telling.
Just look at the latest video on that channel (don't if you don't want to get spoiled) : It presents a part of the game where you get chased. You are supposed to get fast to your ship with your crew. The crew does run, but it stops at tables, people... Like everyone is chill jogging. And there is just some cries just for "ambiance". The run is interrupted by 4 loading screens. When in the ship it's like nothing happened outside and everyone is chill around the chaser. And keep in mind it's a f story mission!
I myself cannot call such thing exciting (for a chase part) or something good quality.
Nvidia issues were present on "lower" spec cards with plenty enough vram. Not even sure if they fixed anything. (https://youtu.be/lGL3fczSXaI?si=C2bAg_k77CAkhfcN) Nvidia could also have been at fault (nvidia deivers aren't always perfect).
Call finished whatever you want, but a game slightly better than others recent releases isn't "finished" just because it's better. It's a company experimenting at what extent they can screw you before they get hurt. And companies have been doing this for a lot of time, each time, screwing up people's preorders and hopes.
Now if starfield has everything you need, it's fine. But if it doesn't have everything someone else needs to play it at a good quality, the it isn't fine by my standards of quality.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm sorry to feel that way. Looks like sticking to the topic isn't working. Cheers.
One point, though. You punctuate your point with a statement that sounds like you think no game is to your "standards of quality" if there exists a gamer somewhere in the world who doesn't get what they want out of it. Seems a weird type of measurement. I usually consider "mostly positive" on Steam a fairly decent bar for quality. But you can consider whatever you like, of course.
