I love the McElroy brothers, but their takes on a lot of stuff is just dog shit. There are so many times that they say shit that makes he me roll my eyes.
I’ve been having a blast with starfield. To me it sounds like they had preconceptions about how the game would be and are disappointed that it’s not what they expected. Idk what they’re talking about, it absolutely feels like a Bethesda game, barring that it wasn’t a mess on launch.
And, lol, one of the biggest complaints of Bethesda games was how barren they felt. Like, the popular description of a Bethesda game is “wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.”
That’s not what that means. Wide as an ocean means there’s a ton and variety of content. No one calls Bethesda games barren. They are packed with content. Deep as a puddle means while there’s s lot, it’s all very simple. Uninteresting quest chains, simple systems, rote stories, etc.

No, it doesn’t. It means that the game seems huge, because of the size of the playable map.
The lack of content is what makes it as shallow as a puddle.

Google literally ANY Bethesda game and add “barren” and you’ll find tons of complaints. Hell, add critical reviews, even some of the good ones call them empty.
