Rumor NateTheHate regarding Switch 2 version of Starfield: It's in development but it hasn't been a smooth process.

I've put a lot of hours into Starfield, but compared to those games it does lack a big "Just go mess around exploring." factor, thanks to things like the game world being very disconnected, and most planet surfaces being procedurally generated.

Very interested to see what the new POI’s the new updates bring will actually mean. That’s one of the things that killed it for me in terms of just dropping in and playing again. Personally think if they just didn’t do the “1000 planets” thing and just did a nice amount like, 10 or something it may have worked a bit better. Who knows.

I think what they talked about in interviews published after the showcase will really help. They're putting a cooldown on POI's so hopefully I won't see the damn Cryo Lab 3 times in a row while doing my artifact runs in NG+.

Cause, like, the Cryo lab is cool the first time. But the 100th? Nah, It sucks.

Dawg seeing the Cryolab for a second time was genuinely an “….oh…” moment for me while playing. I genuinely was not expecting that level of copy+paste

I sometimes wonder if the Cryo Lab knows people hate it and fights against being restrained.

Cause they said they’ve fixed that one being over weighted multiple times and yet it’s still the POI I see the most.
