The hype surrounding Starfield has been unmatched since its announcement. The game, being just three days away from the massive launch, has already taken over the gaming community. Meanwhile, early access players are already hours into the game. And already, a player has called out the game for not being rewarding. 

Bethesda’s open world had been advertised as the most largely detailed space adventure ever created. The official sneak peeks of the game prior to the early access only added to the claims. However, the early reviews have left the fans with somewhat mixed takes. Now, another Starfield player took to their social media after his dangerous stunt went in vain. 

Making the dive for nothing

For a scale of the open world as big as the Starfield, there are a lot more gaming hours required to get into the pulse of the game. Thus, creations like these always stand out from the conventional formats of game lengths. While Starfield has a main narrative, the side quests and cosmic exploration make it an intriguing investment of time and resources. So, you might not be the only one thinking of dodging some main narrative to explore the detailing of Bethesda’s cosmic creativity. 

However, a fan was left disappointed in attempting the same. A Reddit user shared a video of their gameplay while making probably the most daring stunts imaginable to the civilians of the Bethesda universe. A no-safe jump from what appears to be the tallest building of the empire into the water.

Fans not pleased with Starfield graphics 

The glimpse of the jump went viral on the platform. The video ignited a debate on the detailing of the graphics of the game. Graphics and visuals of Xbox exclusives have been the biggest selling points. With the industry moving close to the launch of Starfield on 6 September, questions around its smooth visuals wouldn’t be helping the game. Evidently, as the fans pointed out, the game is suffering due to questionable graphics.

Expectations from AAA titles are always loftier. With the amount spent in such games, there’s a lot of scrutiny where gameplay, graphics and many other features are concerned. And seeing the dive in the clip, the physics is laughable. Understandably, fans expect much better from such high-profile games.

One of the fans addressed the concerns against the animations by drawing a parallel with PUBG. It is important to note that PUBG remains among the most criticized games for its visuals.

During the launch of Skyrim, the developers faced similar accusations. Players believed that very little effort went into the animations. However, with some of the visuals surfacing on social media, a fan calls the forthcoming sci-fi giant worse than Skyrim.
