Also the slow start can't be any worse than Red Dead Redemption 2's slow start, I don't want to hear anyone complaining about Starfield's slow start who also doesn't complain about Red Dead Redemption 2's! Lmao. That start of RDR2 was something else, I'm glad I stuck with it because the story was amazing but the start was so dull for hours.

Honestly, the entire game is "slow" in terms of gameplay and never picks up in "gameplay" which is a reason why I will never replay Red Dead Redemption 2. Starfield can't be any worse than RDR2's "slowness" because the gameplay is faster paced and it actually picks up according to reviews, eventually. Plus I have plenty of time to get through a slow start, haha.

Basically, Starfield is slow at the start in both gameplay and story but eventually picks up according to reviewers but Imo, Red Dead Redemption 2 was slow in both gameplay and story and while it did pick up in story, it never picked up in gameplay, Imo. And I still loved it but yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll not mind a temporary slow start to Starfield having played something like RDR2.

Thanks to Spade for reminding me of RDR2.

I do think the inventory management complaint is odd in a Bethesda title...

RDR (first one ) it's actually another good example for me about inflated reviews. I just recently played the game for the first time and I could not believe how this game got such universal praise. Not sure if I would have granted this game anything more than a 75 from my side. And yes, may main grip with RDR was that looks so.. uninteresting at the beginning that I see no reason why to invest more time in this game when there are so many games to play. 

I also had already bought RDR 2 months ago but it's very likely that I never play it. 

Do you mean the setting looks uninteresting? I like cowboy western stuff so that didn't bother me. I'm not really a fan of something like Fallout's setting though, all dead and depressing, Lol. I like the vibrant Elder Scrolls settings. But as for RDR 1/2, I would actually rate them highly still, I think around 9/10.

But RDR2...These complaints about Starfield's slowness while RDR2 received universal praise, I don't know...Maybe I'm forgetting how RDR1 played but I'm in a weird spot with RDR2...It's a game which I can appreciate - story wise, technically, the world is alive and interesting but the gameplay is so fucking slow, it's like I'm walking through molasses for most of the game.

And so I would never want to replay RDR2...I know the story and that's good enough for me, I have no interest in replaying the exact same story in that slow ass gameplay, which Imo never becomes any faster, Lol. Every activity just feels like they're trying too hard to be realistic, that was a nice technical achievement but doesn't make for fun gameplay. The story even is practically nothing going on for the first few hours.
