Ever since I was burned by Fallout 4 I’ve been incredibly skeptical of Bethesda games and so watching the Starfield showcase and it really just looks like Fallout 4 in space. Yet I’m seeing praise being heaped on it. I’m not crazy am I?

    I just… don’t really know what kind of story they can do with the setting they’ve set up, it’s so boilerplate as to be anything, and there’s something so offputting about these super sterile scifi ipod settings where everything has RGB leds. I guess I’m just a simp for Firefly, or Aliens kinds of visions of the future: where people are basically the same hardscrabble lot just on other planets, and the tech has a real utilitarian and used feel and look. I want my space to be kind of grungy and working class, dammit.
