I'm just so tired of inventory management in games. One of the first things I did in Starfield was a console command to give myself 2,000 burden units. Then I realized that was a mistake because to unlock a perk you need to do so much sprinting with 75% of your burden full. As much as I like playing games like Witcher, Deus Ex, Cyberpunk, Skyrim, etc the constant looting and inventory management is a fuckin drag. I've done it so much. It makes game like God of War where I don't have to worry about any of that shit soooo much better.

One of my main beefs with games the last 10 years or so is that they are just so cumbersome.
Specifically open world games. Its just rinse and repeat. Go here do that. Now go over here, and do the same thing as over there...over and over and over.
It's just grinding. Like, it feels like work. Maybe if I was a kid with no responsibilities it would be fine. But like, I got REAL work to do lol. I don't want to have to "work" in a video game.
I still have not beat Halo Infinite, or hell even Far Cry 5 (even though I bought that one a year or so after it came out).
I have more fun playing older games. But maybe that is just because of the nostalgia.
Growing up being a SEGA kid (not Nintendo) I bought the new Sonic Frontiers game just hoping for something to sit and play mindlessly.
But nope! Even that was way more thought than I wanted to put into a game lol.

Lol of course Starfield is boring. The game literally only had one selling point: "first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda"

I think I found out Starfield's big twist within half an hour.
You're really a vampire!
That's why you don't have a shadow.

What I've learned about Starfield is that I'd rather have No Man's Sky.
NMS was fun but after you've researched/unlocked/found all the ships I can only freeform wander for so long before being ultra bored. I've got plenty of $ farms going and mines for whatever I want. There's nothing left in the game to do except glitch build which is basically just adult minecraft.

How long did it take you to get to that point?

I've seen a lot of people say the game can take up to 10-12 hours before it starts to get good and you start to really enjoy it. At this rate it'll take me quite a while to get that far.

Same. I seem to be playing it in 15 minute chunks.
For NMS at least 250 hours. I don't play games I can't go deep into...
In comparison Division 2 has about 3500 hours according to stats. I've had it since launch though and NMS is relatively new. I'm sure a lot of that time was just idling or not actually playing but still. It's logged a lot of hours.

Call me crazy but I prefer games that are fun from the very beginning

F-zero 99 is fun.
I loved that game for the snes.
Hogwarts legacy has been one of the more enjoyable open world games I have played to date. I feel like I am nearing the ending and I'm sad about it.
