As funny as this is, it's kind of disturbing what can be done by amateurs with AI...
So then, what's the consensus on this? Is this No Man's Sky with none of the fun parts of No Man's Sky and all the usual parts of Fallout/Skyrim?

The game is really struggling to run well on some big planets with lots of flora and fauna. I got 3 crashes on Jaffa III & now a crash that sent me back like 10 minutes on Hyla II. Before I open the menu I have to wait like a minute just to make sure everything is loaded so the games doesn't crash. Like wtf.
I'm playing on the Xbox Series X. It's only happened on those 2 planets I mentioned, with Jaffa III being the worse. It's probably the console struggling with all the stuff. There's a lot happening on those planets, with a lot of animals everywhere. Thanks for asking though.What are your specs, have you tried to verifying the integrity of the files?
In the first two weeks of the game launched the game might bog down after using Quick Resume to let the game run for 15 or so hours. After forcing the game to shut down, and restarting every 10 hours it never did that to me again.I'm playing on the Xbox Series X.

It definitely took me a few hours before I stopped trying to shoehorn my expectations into the gameplay loop, and just let the game speak for itself. It won't be GOTY this year thanks to BG3 and Zelda, but there have been plenty of years Starfield would have taken the prize.It took me 20 hours before I stopped saying "this whole thing is meh". Oblivion in Space is pretty freaking awesome. I was the biggest negative bitch thinking this would flop and I totally eat crow. GotY I dunno Nominee absolutely. Could see this year being a tie between several different games/genres respectfully and deservedly so.

I do think the game will be looked at much more fondly than "7/10 trash" in a year or so after we know what the DLC looks like and the release of the Creation Kit.
Just wanted to watch the deep-dive video again after having played 100+ hours of the game!
Gotta say I'm surprised that some of you are saying that No Man's Sky is still better than Starfield. Did Bethesda really drop the ball here or is there a chance they can improve upon it like Hello Games did with their title after it's disastrous release?

So it's just like Mass Effect 1 again? Actually, that's something I also read regarding Starfield, that the first Mass Effect is still a much better game. Like damn.It's better at what it does. I don't really like what it does, though, but Starfield's version of it (randomly generated planets and content, laser gun resource gathering, building crap and crafting) is just done way worse.

I think it doesn't help Starfield's longevity that the companions are some of the weakest I can recall in Bethesda's history. They are all the same cookie cutter generic good guys bar perhaps Andreja who is more neutral.
I get that Constellation wouldn't be hiring pirates or murderers, but some variation in opinion would be nice.

Oh trust me she's a goody two shoes as well I thought she was going to be a little more three-dimensional but nope
That's a shame. Feel as though this game should have been a tap-in for MS/Bethesda but it largely fails to live up to its huge potential. I do hope we'll get there with expansions.
What would be the purpose of adding expansions to a Game Pass game?

The expansions are paid expansions. They don't fall into the Game Pass umbrella. You can play the game with Game Pass but if you want access to the expansion you have to pay for it.
That's gonna fall flat.
But good to know there will be expansions.
It attempts the procedural generation aspect of NMS and is pretty successful at it where it counts. However:So then, what's the consensus on this? Is this No Man's Sky with none of the fun parts of No Man's Sky and all the usual parts of Fallout/Skyrim?
Started the game today, played till I landed in New Atlantis.
It's not bad, but .... this game looks and feels as if it's a good 10 years too late. If this was an early Xbox One/PS4-title, it'd be alright. But now, after Cyberpunk 2077? Oof. Very old graphics, and gameplay is ... so basic. Presentation is the worst, though. Bethesda must have not a single cutscene director, because there's no sense for a cinematic presentation at all. Always talking with npcs from a stiff, full-frontal view.
I'll keep playing, but compared to the maaaaassive hype this game received prior to release, it's a rather huge letdown.
