It would take another decade of development to make this game feel anything less than empty.

I bought a series x just for this game and I couldn't have been more disappointed with just how empty and soulless everything feels. It reminds me a bit of NMS at launch but unlike NMS, the dev team at Bethesda won't spend the next 10 years making the Starfield experience right for fans. I have no doubt they'll re-release monetized anniversary editions of essentially the same game with player made content over that span of time but don't think for a second they'll make the game what it should have been from the start.

If you're jonesing for what Starfield could have been, The Outer Worlds is a good time.

Aka the Game releases Feature incomplete in Beta (early Access) Status.

MS gamepass does hinder Quality Games. Same Story for forza Motorsport, redfall and whatnot..

This game was originally going to release two years ago without Microsoft making sure it got more QA than Bethesda is known for. Microsoft or not, the game design and feature completeness likely wouldn't have moved an inch.

Hi-Fi Rush, for a counter example, was one of the best games of the year.

I have just looked Into my year on Xbox (and Nintendo Switch..) and it turns out, i played starfield around 50h hours.

So, it did something right regardless. You are probably right those

Ich becomes increasingly frustrating to watch all These big AAA Milestones turn out mediocre.

The AA space is where its at, See your example of Hifi rush.

I would disagree with your 50 hour Starfield assessment, only on the basis of Todd Howards own comment that the game was made to be played for a long time.

50 hours for a game meant to be played for a long time just isn't very long at all. Heck, I enjoyed my time in Starfield and I had more than 50 hours. However I could not continue with NG+, it was just godawful.

For a game meant to be played extensively it failed in most regards.
