I see how you could think that, the elderly ARE easily scammed, after all.

But no, the reality is that Starfield was just another janky Bethesda game, with all the same problems as those that came before.
That's a massive generalization about elderly folk.

Starfield is a game for mature gamers, not for the young crowd. That's why on steam forums, you get plenty of comments belittling & cursing the game overall. The audience on those forums is obviously for the quick run n' gun shoot em up crowd of gamers or for the speed freaks that like driving games, etc, etc...
There is a thread in the Starfield discussions there about how old you are. A perusal of that thread is quite revealing as to the ages that gamers admit too & why they like or not like the game. It's ultimately a a RPG that demands time & patience to build up a character & enjoy the fun of it, not everyone's cup of tea - I get that.
I'm just pleased at this point in the game's life that Beth are paying attention to improving it despite the whims & cries of impatient gamers that crave instant satisfaction from anything they turn their energies too. Still its a sign of the times that a generation of gamers who bath in a world of instant gratification with entertainment can now get more of that gratification from Bethesda.

I haven't perused the whole change log of the new patch, but I had to abandon a playthrough cause' of a bug in the 4th last part of the MQ - not to worry, the game is a lot of fun for me so start again on a higher difficulty with the new patch. :)

Agreed. Also, i've always been a friend of the "old farts" there, since the Fallout 4 days. They're some of the best people I ever got to know.

Game did launch raw and uncooked, but Beth will make good on it, and whatever Beth doesn't, the community will. I'll definitely be replaying Starfield in the end of this, or maybe early next year.

with Todd games, It's best to wait 3-4 years after original launch date before playing them. that's how I did Skyrim and Fallout 4 and it was a smart move both times, I played Starfield briefly and had fun, but def going to give it a full playthrough in 2 years or so from now. I'm in no rush, I have plenty of backlog.
I got it for free with my graphics card, still feels like a rip off :laugh:
