I'm on my second playthrough now,
Not gonna bother with the story quest a second time, mostly gonna focus on doing stuff for the other factions and building outposts.
Got every window and door closed and blacked out today, so I'm hoping that the wallpaper doesn't drip off the wall, once my 4090 gets going..

I hear you. I'm actually wishing the weekend away so I can game comfortably when weather gets normal, that or turn the AC on but then I'll be wondering what it' costing me p/h to play the game lol.
Interesting if weirdly illogical take on it. In the digital download age you can buy, try and refund games very easily. There is no need to read reviews to decide if you will like a game or not.
To be fair though, some games are so enormous in scope, or as in the case of Starfield have such a slow start, that you might not get a fair impression of the game in the first 2 hours so you might be refunding something before having the chance to really get to grips with a title because you've ended up with a false view of the game based on the initial 2 hours.
Mind you, I dont need to try kippers and tripe on ice cream to know that I'm probably not going to like it, no matter how much my parents say its good for my constitution
I really hope you didn’t just imply that looking at reviews is illogical.
Have you seen how many games exist now because of our digital download age? You think people have time to try them all out?
That’s the key thing here. Time. Yeah you get a monetary refund but when you figure out how to refund time spent then maybe I will agree with you that looking at reviews is illogical.
Till then, Reviews are a great way of filtering out what is worth taking a closer look at.
Also I’m pretty certain constantly refunding stuff is actually frowned upon as it costs the platform money, so good luck with that.
Yup, Starfield does have the gamepass going for it but not all games do and some are just too large to get a good idea of them in the initial 2 hours, so what does a person who cannot use friends reviews or common minded online reviewers thoughts to do then. I think reviews are useful when gauging a purchase, its not as black and white for me as all reviews are useless, its far more important in my mind which reviewer it is, if its someone who has a very similar mindset and gaming tastes then it can be useful
I think you are right. Just started using my Xbox series controller instead and it just feels less clunky. I think you can tell it was definitely developed with a controller in mind. FPD bits will be worse but everything is better.
Apologies, I should clarify that it was the concept that reviews should be used as a primary source of info on if you would like a game. Reviews have their place as does user feedback, but ultimately the digital age has rendered reviews less and less relevant.

There's something just not right with the Keyboard/Mouse in the game, the FPS bit is OK but feels off and as for flying that is just terrible so I have been using a Gamepad for that. I did see last night there are a few mods to fix this now, especially the flying bit, not tried it yet though.
I’ve been finding the lack of inertia in 1st person view feels odd. 3rd person view adds inertia and feels better to me.

dude you have 44 thousand posts on a dead forum. Lets not throw stones hey.
You clearly are not winning at life, when you spend most of it on here or sat in your space suit during a heat wave playing a bang average looter shooter. Good game.
Just proving my point. Cheer up. Everything you keep posting on this ‘dead forum’ is negative and miserable, and you say I’m not winning at life

I just completed it too. Solid game 5/10
Just messing. Just made me laugh seeing a 7 after reading solid game. But truth is I can understand why some may give it a 7.
With my 22ish hours so far I give it a 8 at the very least, but probably more like a 8.5 due to how much fun I am having. Still early days though, that may change.
That doesn't change anything that I've said. You also did not address the main point that I made. Which is time.
However lets look closer at what you've said
Well People are going to buy games that they think they are going to like or enjoy. Why would someone buy something that they don't think they would enjoy.
Most importantly how else are they going to filter out game they think they will enjoy vs ones they don't? If your suggestion is to literally play every game they see in a genre, that is a stupid suggestion.
How do you personally filter what games you are going to buy? Do you literally buy every game on the steam page and try them out? Serious question how do you filter out what games to try?
Have you bought every space exploration game on steam to try out since you clearly like Starfield? Have you bought Star Citizen? Astroneer? No Man's Sky? X4? Void Crew? Or maybe it is RPG games, so have you bought all the RPG games on steam?
Do you know what, post your steam purchase history. Lets see if you actually practise what you preach.
You have not put in the leg work to provide solid reasoning for your conclusion.
If I feel like a new game to play Steam has a store page that I can filter for the types of games I like. RPG, single player etc, read the game concept, then maybe look at some screenshots and watch a few gameplay videos. The steam user reviews, mainstream media and especially YouTube reviewers are the last place I would use as a guide.
There are thousands of games and the above method allows me to instantly filter on my preferred genre. I may also see a game thread like this in a tech forum and think, I’ll check that out.

Pure projection due to inadequacies in their own life. Textbook example, funnily enough the people enjoying things aren't trying hard to put others down and tell everyone else how great they are doing.
