Because it’s a pile of fucking shit.
Who wants to spend over 3k on a headset you can’t even game with? Let alone has hardly any app support on launch.
Many of the promised features still have yet to be implemented, and the physics of the game are still janky as fuck.
Cyberpunk doesn’t get a pass just because half of the list has finally been implemented and the game has been polished……three fucking years later.
This is probably my favorite explanation for it.
It tries to be emotional, at least the main story. But it fucking fails miserably. I think the only part that actually got me feeling dread or interest was going to visit NASA on Earth. That shit was amazing it pisses me off we only spend ONE FUCKING MISSION on that planet and never go back for anything else.
This is why I can still play Fallout 4 heavily modded and have a lot of fun. Because the core gameplay is really good. It just needed more quest variety and RPG elements.
Starfield is wrong on a fundamental level. Exploration is a HUGE problem in Starfield and frankly with how they implemented it there’s not much you can do to fix it. However, land rovers would be a great step.
