Starfield Is Too Focused On Fighting

Starfield’s combat isn’t as good as everyone says it is

I cant imagine leveling up enough on a low fighting playthrough...

That site has the worst takes ever.

It's not the combat, it's the dumb AI which just stands there.
SF is all about the writing and fun side quests and main story everything else is average.

The spaceflight is pretty fun and engaging. I like how you have to manage power flow to different systems and space combat feels pretty good. Ground combat on the other hand sucks, I might invest in a melee build because gunplay in this game feels so poor and the non-existent AI doesn't help things

There needs to be a balance between easy and hard ai. Not every game needs enemies that are as realistically difficult as a pro streamer that spends hours every day mastering every combo and memorized the map. If I wanted that competition, I would play Apex legends with randoms that are legit rookies going against pros.

The AI is practically stationary, were not on about difficulty

I love the combat in this game it’s what I look forward to the most. Love it or hate it Starfield is definitely the talk of the town. It’s definitely one of those games you need to play for yourself to judge. Spend about 20 hours or so in the game then you’ll have a better idea of what this game has to offer.

20hrs??? My man... that's asking a lot. If a piece of media takes longer than an hour or two to convince you that its worth your time, then it isn't.

What you’re saying can’t be applied to every game. I can beat an average game in 6-12 hours. With games like Starfield you’re just getting started. Maybe your attention span is only 2 hours but not mines. If a game is 6 hours long then yeah two hours is enough time to tell if you like it but not a game that’s got dozens if not hundreds of hours of content to find..:

You know what would switch up the gunplay? Alien weaponry. Halo, Mass Effect, Destiny and Resistance all benefitted in being unique through alien combat options
