Analyzing Starfield’s Performance on Nvidia’s 4090 and AMD’s 7900 XTX

I have ~25 hours and I'm bored to tears. I've unlocked the first couple of powers, finished a few corp quest chains, but nothing about the game has grabbed me, and I have similar complaints as the GP: it's dull, the universe feels huge but flat, empty, and pointless.

I'm full of regret both that this is the most expensive game I've ever bought, plus that I upgraded my GPU just to play it.

I really want to love Starfield, and based on comments like yours I keep feeling like somehow I'm missing something. Should I keep playing? Does it get better, or do we just have vastly different tastes?

That sucks. I'm about 20 hours in (almost completely sidequests, I think I'm still in the second main storyline quest) and loving it, but that's how I've always played Bethesda games. I go and make my own fun as soon as possible.

Not every game's for everyone though, and a good rule is to wait a month or so on single player games so you can see what reviewers who align with your taste think.
