I enjoyed it for about 70h, then i got sick of all the loading.

I just need properly updated skyrim. Better graphics, similar amount of loading screens, better npc's, better mechanics but the same old fantasy setting.

Oh and all the mods, something about sculpting my own vuloptuous barbie doll character to turn into the ultimate killing machine.

What I don't understand is why it even has loading screens. Surely it would be possible for them to level stream that stuff, after all the actual handcrafted environments are not that big, The rest of the planet is procedurally generated.

Partly the engine.

Consoles. I blame most of starfields issues on Microsoft and the need to have it work on garbage Xbox. I just wish we could get a game like this without having to cripple the shit out of it so it will work on some shit hardware console.... But I get it, most people don't have a PC that can play most games if they even have a PC at all...

I'm not bitter, you're bitter! :P

Given the cost of GPUs nowadays I don't blame them. It used to be reasonable...

I finished the story and did some sight seeing and tried to build an outpost to make fat stacks but somehow i couldn't find the right location after 4 hours of searching and that's when i ditched the game.

I enjoyed it for 3-5 minutes and then it crashed before hitting a save point.
