I get what they were trying to achieve. Thinking about it seeing pictures from mars that have earth pointed out, same goes from Saturn, Neptune and so forth just really capturing the expanse and vast emptiness / distant in space and what could, could, just maybe, these places hold really gets the mind tinkering, wondering, and (to me) brings on a vast feeling of loneliness perhaps fear of what is, isnt, and the what could be out there just drifting or myself just drifting. Seeing the distance between earth and a plant that is gas or has no life just rock feels unimaginable, BUT trying to capture the feeling, the thought, the uncertainty is impossible since 1) they already said what’s on these plants so zero need to explore 2) trying to capture that unimaginable feeling in a game is just impossible because it’s just a game where you can text, call, FaceTime, go see, visit anywhere and anybody after you put it down rather than you’re on earth I’m on mars (For All Mankind anyone?) the only way to communicate is with those right next to you or wait a week via phone mail? Then you’re on a planet that can kill you at any second, I mean same to earth, but just a smidge less forgiving. Yet playing Starfield it never made me feel like anything I do on like 80-90% of these planets had any impact , any importance, even the views just felt mild as thought they saw the wonder and the mysticism but couldn’t capture to real feel.
