I just watched the Starfield reveal.  I'm still not "pumped" in any sense of the word, but because I have Gamepass Ultimate (which I always forget about - lol) and it is Day 1 Gamepass, I'll likely DL it and see how buggy it is.

A couple of comments 
- Renegade Cowboy land gave me definite "Outer Worlds" vibes.  Maybe there are only so many ways to represent it, but the bar they showed was a direct rip of OW bars/taverns.
- Jetpacks, combat, solar system maps, scanning etc. - Hello Mass Effect Andromeda!  They showed so much scanning - I hope scanning isn't as tedious as MEA - OMG.  Loved jetpack combat in MEA, so I can see myself enjoying it here.
-Ambitiousness - My goodness.  What I found interesting is that they are representing multiple different aspects as the most "whatever" they have done before, and when they show the details, you kinda have to say "Yep, they've gone all out."  And it seems like many of the systems were likely developed independently, very ambitiously, and then brought together.  One might say that your ship is the HUB for most of these systems.  Travel, Space combat, planet scanning, planet exploration, outpost building, ship customization, etc. all start with the ship itself.  This is very Mass Effect like, where everything centered on the Normandy/Tempest.  But of course, Bethesda has taken it much much further.

It will certainly be interesting to see if they have pulled it off.
