I think I’m just getting old. Games like Starfield are boring the hell out of me. I played it for about 1.5hrs then uninstalled it.
I did the same thing with fallout 4, I think it's just todd that's boring.
It's been in the top 10 (and often in top 5) concurrent players on steam since release so I think you just don't like it, but many others still do.
Because they've been making the same game just with different settings for 20+ years and it been overused. You may have fun with the game if you didn't play the last few Bethesda games or you still enjoy that type but it is stale for most who have played fallout 3, nv, 4 and the elder scrolls games for most of their lives. There's just nothing new.
If you can already know the game is boring after 1.5 hours, the game is indeed not for you.
I thought it was yet an other boring scifi shooter, but gave it a try after seeing someone else playing it. Then I saw how much of a Star Trek TNG vibes it had.
You must have such a refined taste to not waste more than 90 minutes on starfield. May I recommend Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 for a discerning individual such as yourself.
I think it's that other games have done cooler stuff, while Bethesda keeps making the same game with a different skin.
