    Super hot take: I’m playing Starfield right now and it just pales in comparison to Cyberpunk. Though they are clearly different types of games, the artistry, environmental detail, dialogue writing, and voice acting are all a clear step down.

    Can’t wait til the expansion comes out.

      Cyberpunk has one of the best cities I’ve ever seen in a game. If you hang out with the Aldecaldos and River’s family, driving back into the city feels like driving back into a city. It isn’t just going to a location with a lot of NPCs.

        Is it? Do you not remember how the official subreddit went mega apeshit bananas for over a year?

        Also, have you ever looked at the official Steam forum for this game?

      That’s good to hear. I’ve been curious about sf but cp is maybe my favorite game so far. Similar experience with me with Spiderman Remastered. Been playing it, and NYC is so beautiful in it, and the web swinging is really fun, and I like the combat mechanics, buuuut… I find myself missing everything else about cp.

      I thought about this too. Especially with how often Starfield breaks immersion Cyberpunk never does unless you switch to 3rd person.

      I do try to maintain expectations because it is on Bethesdas engine but I often wonder why they didn’t try a different engine for Starfield.
