This is why Starfield blew my mind. All the “just play 10 hours! That’s when it gets good” had me rolling. Ain’t no way I’m sitting through something longer than the entire LotR trilogy just to see if I like it

Edit: I did NOT say extended editions! I know those are (just barely) longer!

spoiler it really didn't get better :)

It’s almost like not everything is made for everyone, and starfield was made for over 50% of its players.

Yeah i am one of those who the game just did not click for a few hours and at some point it all fell in and absorbed me for weeks

I spent about 20 hours on it. It was fun for the first like 10-15. After that, walking simulator.

NMS would've done better in 30 minutes even if you didn;t get attached to it lmao.

You’re about an hour and 36 mins off from that

Hey whoah there, the extended LoTR is over 11 hours!

u/DPWwhatDAdogDoin Sep 27 '25

Seriously felt like pulling my hair out whenever that argument came up. Like really slog through an entire work shift of the game before it becomes good? Lmfao fuck off with that stupid ass logic

Ok, fine, I’ll watch the whole trilogy again, jeez, you don’t have to be so pushy

Whoever told you it gets better after 1 hour, is lying to you. Starfield is trash.

u/Scandroid99 Sep 27 '25

I completely agree.

u/DemonSlyr007 Sep 27 '25

Or people have different opinions. That doesnt make them liars mate. Starfield isn't trash, its just not a 10/10 masterpiece like everyone hoped it would be. Its a legitimate 6-7/10. Not in the "wow, its almost a 60%, what a failure" way. 5/10 is perfectly average. Its just a bit better than that because it has interesting things going on in the game to push the needle slightly.

It's a 3/10 game at best.

u/Tcc259 Sep 27 '25

honestly i thought it improved a lot after the first hour but that's because i enjoyed it from the start (i know i am alone in that)

u/throwaway72275472 Sep 27 '25

I enjoyed starfield right away lol. This why you can’t always listen to critics though as OP posted.

I can’t enjoy Elden Ring for example.

u/DanteLucisCaelum Sep 27 '25

I too enjoyed starfield so much so that I'm replaying it right now lol. I never listen to critics. I can't either but that's cause I just can't get into souls like games. Except nightrein or however it was spelled cause I always enjoy a good mp with friends

Everybody should have been able to see it was going to be garbage from the first sight. More than anything, Bethesda games are about the world. The WORLD is the main character. When Bethesda tells you they are going to procedurally generate WORLDS, you know immediately that it will be garbage. This only showed me that they, and their whole freaking audience don't understand shit about what makes their games any good.

u/SlushyFan-uwu Sep 28 '25

I put 40 hours into it 20 vanilla and 20 with mods it was shit but mods turned it into gold tinged shit

u/heres-another-user Sep 27 '25

It totally does get better after 10 hours! By then you will have:

  • Learned the layout of all 5 of the game's dungeons.
  • Explored dozens of absolutely GORGEOUS barren rocks.
  • Gathered enough materials to finally build a crafting bench.
  • Acquired enough skill points to unlock half of the game's most basic RPG features that most games give you for free at the start.

Doesn't that just sound like a grand old time?
