The #Starfield gameplay loop: Get in ship, LOADING SCREEN Get in pilot's chair, CUTSCENE Takeoff, CUTSCENE Grav jump to location, LOADING SCREEN Land, CUTSCENE Get out of chair, CUTSCENE Get out of ship, LOADING SCREEN Mission stuff. Repeat.

😱 I hope it’s not like that…

    I mean, if we’re reductive enough one could say the same about Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Morrowind, Oblivion

      yeah just think of how many loading screens it takes to talk to benny in fallout new vegas. 1 to get into freeside, 1 to get through the weird bus doors thing, 1 to get through the strip gate. 1 to get through another gate in the strip. and 1 to get into the tops. and possibly another 1 or 2 loading screens before you can kill him if you choose not to on the tops floor

      thats 5-7 loading screens just to get to 1 character

      If you’re reductive enough, sure. Anything ever is like that. However, how much are you really reducing to say this when compared to those games? I’d bet the list is much, much longer. And those games came out over a decade ago, by the same studio no less, so these problems shouldn’t just be accepted quirks as they seem to be internally.
