Stop Shiny Hunting in Starfield & then calling it a 'bland/repetitive game'
You’re treating optional, procedural content as if it’s the entire game, which is like complaining that Pokémon FireRed is a boring shiny-hunting simulator just because you spent 100 hours in the grass. Almost every game has a mechanic designed for "infinite" playability or padding that isn't the main attraction. In Pokémon, shiny hunting is a repetitive, RNG-heavy grind intended for a specific type of player; in Starfield, landing on 100’s of random, unnamed planetary markers to clear out generic outposts is that same optional grind.
These critics are treating a "radiant" system (procedural POIs) as if it's the only way to play, when the "gym leaders" and "Elite Four" (handcrafted cities and major questlines) are right there.

Just bought the Premium Edition, what should I buy with the 1,000 creation points?
It’s probably the only time I’ll get anything from the creation shop, but with 1,000 points just sitting there, what’s worth getting?

Why is Proxima Centauri with known planets not in Starfield?
The Alpha Centauri system is prominent in Starfield, but only Rigil and Toliman are in the game, when it is unknown if they even have any planets, but Proxima, which has known planets, is not in the game?
