So far, Starfield is an awesome game, but now I have an urge to pick up my character on no man sky, and I’m having trouble putting that game down right now.
Anyone else experienced this for example urge to play another space game?

What I find funny is so many people saying “starfield is so open but there’s nothing to do.” But for some reason, no man’s sky has “so much to do.” Every planet is basically completely barren or has one of the same four types of points of interest as every other planet
Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed no man’s sky and starfield does have surprisingly barren places, but to say NMS has “more to do” is patently absurd.
Comparing them generally just reveals people’s preferences/loyalties as opposed to anything useful about either game.
I really don’t get it to be honest, I’m left saying “damn I can’t wait for the weekend to play starfield longer because there’s so much to do” I don’t have enough time to do what I want in any given weeknight. I’ve been absolutely obsessed with starfield…
I got the early release and had a 4 day weekend, my play time was measured in days by Tuesday…
Starfield has made me very disappointed with the planet designs in NMS, unfortunately. Like, a lot of it boils down to “This planet has purple dirt, but this other planet over here has blue dirt and is cold!” and they’re always one biome only. In Starfield, one planet can have several different biomes realistically spread out (like snow/ice region on the polar caps, etc.), and it also has a bigger pool of structures to pull from. I last played No Man’s Sky a year or so ago, and it always felt like there were only a handful of structures that could generate on a planet.
Playing starfield is making me realize all I really wanted from NMS was some coherent side quests, actual combat, and a ship builder.
I want more procedurally generated planet variety too. They start feeling very samey after awhile.
I agree, but I think if I had stuff to do there, I wouldn’t mind. The thing is there just isn’t, the game is so shallow and the writing is so boring. I shouldn’t like starfield this much except I have been primed to want this since NMS came.
Yeah… getting involved in town problems or local faction quests always felt really uninspired unfortunately.
