Who cares about the main Starfield menu?

Or they designed what they wanted and that’s been our list for years and was one of the first decisions we made. Getting an opinion is one thing. Questioning a developer’s ‘caution’ because you would have done it differently is very unprofessional when it comes from another ‘developer’ “.

Mark Kern He has not yet posted a counter comment.

It’s the main Starfield menu. Yes it is spartan but what is it actually about? – If someone criticizes Starfield’s “scrappy” achievements, okay. But the main menu? As a player, you must quickly find your way around so that you can start the actual game. It’s not about more or less.
