Feature: Lifelong Bethesda Fan Finally Answers: Does Starfield Actually Suck?

A star is unborn. So, I finally played Starfield. For 85 hours, no less. And honestly, just about everything I had read or heard about the game prior to playing turned out to be true. I think Starfield is both an evolution of Bethesda's core game design and a significant downgrade from the studio's established open world structure. In short, I think it's a bit of a mess — but it's a mess that's kept me coming back for weeks on end. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

Wish upon a Starfield. At this point we really shouldn't be surprised, but Bethesda somehow managed to release a borderline broken game on PS5, over two full years removed from its initial launch on other platforms. Now, to be clear, Starfield's crashing issues have not impacted every player — but reports have been so widespread and so numerous that the developer couldn't just sit back and ignore them.

Starfield modders fix Terran Armada progress blocker bug that punishes you for visiting one particular space station

Starfield modders fix Terran Armada progress blocker bug that punishes you for visiting one particular space station

A quest-breaking bug has been stopping some Starfield players from progressing in the Terran Armada DLC Bethesda released earlier this month, but thankfully there's a now a mod offering a headache-free fix for it. The issue, which sees your Terran Armada quest progression locked around the time of a mission dubbed 'Into the Void', looks to be caused by simply having paid an early visit to a space station from the Free Lanes update that dropped alongside the DLC.
