So, apparently, the price is already down to near half. Bethesda oversold and underdelivered.
Though, honestly... I don't understand the thought process of people who expected a different sort of game. I'm yet questioning if I should be surprised at all that interstellar fights are this disappointing, and planet exploration that repetitive. That is exactly how it should be in Fallout 4 in space. If it kept every weakness of Fallout 4, why not these ones?
I stopped being excited about Starfield the moment I learned it's a Bethesda game, and for once I wasn't a Grinch but absolutely right. Critics should have known. -- at latest! -- when they failed to advertise any sort of cohesive story. Instead, it was all hype and no "let's keep expectations low, this will 100% be a lukewarm game". It's not a *bad* game to people who expected nothing. Just thoroughly mediocre. A true 5/10 game, maybe a 6.
