This is like any game ever. There is always a percentage of players who don't seem to play the games they buy regardless of how new the game is.

    Every millennial who got a good, high-paying job only to have no time to spend on the games they can now afford to buy on a whim.

    Oh. All the unplayed shit I've bought. Steam seasonal sales are especially bad.

    Granted that some of those are just early access titles that I wanted to support.

    I just keep telling myself that when I retire I'll be glad for all the random games I bought.

    I tell myself there is plenty of time to play the games i bought and then i remember they're all on a single platform and i have to pray they don't shut it down on a whim or some billionaire buys it and runs it into the ground.

    What are the odds Steam is still operational amd i have access to the games I've bought in 30-40 years?

    It's even worse because of Gamepass, a lot of people probably installed to see what the hype was about but bounced off.

    I would’ve been one, but I read the reviews and realized it would not be a game I would be interested in and never downloaded on game pass. Cities Skylines II is what I’m looking forward to.

    I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn't any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.

    Mods on PC also disable achievements, so it's possible that a fair few space adventurers are missing the achievement

    Probably that, and people just checking it in game pass. About the other achievements, It's funny that in Bethesda games people keep ignoring the main quest so much.

    There's literally mods that enable achievements, which are also some of the most downloaded mods.

    Ngl first thing I did was ignore the main quest. My years of Skyrim, fallout 3 & 4, Ubisoft open worlds and Witcher taught me to look for the main quest, then go in the complete opposite because then that's where the wacky stuff happens.

    I was kinda annoyed that Starfield wasn't like that. After a few hours, I got kinda bored and followed the main quest (to a degree), and that's when a lot of the game world opened up and I started to really enjoy it.

    There's not much to do on the beginning asteroid, though. If you want to do any of the side quests without the main quest, or no quests and base build, you still need to leave the starting asteroid via spaceship.

    A couple years ago 50% of Minecraft Xbox users never opened the inventory

    No joke, I played at launch and I look off in a ship the first time, and I got an achievement: "Rare achievement earned: flew in a spaceship. 0.3% of players unlocked this". I thought I had spent too long in character creation but I guess I spent less than most?

    Maybe their consoles are offline.

  • There was some issue with the achievements for those of us who played the early launch. I'm playing the Steam version, but it thinks I never went to space or joined Constellation despite me having them for things like quests and killing 300 creatures.

    I tried, but it crashes at the same part 15 minutes in.

    I'm probably contributing to this. Pirated it during the early access period on PC, played a decent amount, then on release installed the Gamepass version and used a tool to convert my save to the format the Windows Store version uses. Occasionally play that save on an Xbox as well so I was well past the point the achievement should have popped. Guess I'll get it if I ever do another character (or if it pops on ng+?)

    I have barely went into space. I have not been playing because making a base is daunting.
