I’ve never played a Bethesda game and unfortunately Starfield isn’t going to change that (at least in its current form). Based on gameplay footage and reviews I’d rather just stick with No Man’s Sky. NMS seems to do the space exploration better and can already scratch that itch for me. The loading screens and fast travel are off putting enough that Starfield doesn’t seem worth my time. The only feature that draws me to the game at all is the ship builder.

Went to an AMC theater recently after not going to one for years. I waited through about 30 minutes of forced ads before the movie started. The “shut off your cell phone warning” was about 10-15 min early. Guess I’m prepared to show up later than the advertised times in the future and skip it, but can’t say I want to go back.
