I don’t understand why they don’t ask “what can we do to make these barren planets better”, instead of “empty planets are fun!”… ironically its this that has turned me off from buying Starfield … cheers Bethesda
Once they revealed that it was going to be about 1000 procedurally generated planets, my hype fizzled out. Almost no game gets this right. It's all boring unless you add a shit ton of content to the game that can scale with the procedural generation or have a solid game play loop. Which, this game doesn't have... I wish they had like 10-20 planets that were fleshed out and had more than 1 big city in them that almost all the quests have you going back to. This game is just stale and too simple imo
Honestly the only games that really did procedural world generation correct are Minecraft and Civilization.
Maybe Daggerfall, at least for its' time.
