Starfield and what the game needs to improve

Image
  I have talked alot about Starfield on this blog and I feel like all criticism is tiring to deal with. Every single day, I see tons of people that are only interested in criticizing Starfield instead of trying to see what is positive with the game. This is not to say that the game is prefect. It is the first edition of a game series and I am not surprised that not everything about the game is excellent according to the discerning standards of gamers. Video gamers these days seem to be more interested in trying to engage in nostalgia than in moving the medium of video games forward and this is unfortunate.   This is what Bethesda needs to do in order to get people to come back ton Starfield and get people interested in the game again.  1.

  Starfield vs Baldur's Gate 3 The RPG, Baldur's Gate 3 remains incredibly popular after about 3 months after it release. This game has been successful in way that is stunning for a game whose predecessor came out in 2000, the year of the release of the PlayStation 2.  It is a great thing for the Gaming industry that this game is having so much success, but people have to stop comparing Baldur's Gate 3 with Starfield, especially when it comes to the gameplay. Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the best turn-based games out there, but that what it is. It is a game based on turns, which comes from an era when computers had less memory to process things. This is one of the reasons why Real-Time-Strategy was so important in the evolution of video games. Rather than holding back the action due to the lack of memory, the growth of computing power meant that the computer could process the movements of units in real-time. This was a big deal and one of the reasons why RTS were so popula
