Found this deal. Standard price of a Series X but with Starfield for free. Not much of a deal if you have Game Pass but is if you do not.

Combat is dull and unsatisfying, I can pretty much just run into a gunfight, unload a clip into an enemy, tank all the shots, and medpack when needed.
Somehow I got a bounty on me from the Freestar and even after I paid it, an NPC said "Oh, looks like you have a bounty on you. You should get that taken care of." Of course, I run all the way back to pay it but it shows I have no bounty on me.
An NPC ship starts firing at me so I defend myself and destroy it. My companions didn't like it. Would they rather us be blown up???
Lots of boring fetch quests which consist of running back and forth
There's a point in the main quest line where you unlock some stuff. To unlock it, you basically fly back and forth between points in space in a room, so dull and pointless.
Uninspired graphics with some awful facial modeling. The "dead eyes" meme is real.
RE: the bounty hunter stuff, it sounds to me like you chose the "Wanted" perk when you started the game. I think that one's harder to clear and can only be done in a few specific places.
I HATE everything about the ship battles. I don't know if the problem is that I've never had a good grasp of how to effectively airtight or if the controls suck but I just find those parts painfully annoying.
Combat is OK if you've got an appropriate difficulty setting but a better cover mechanic would definitely be nice. I was really hoping for a Bethesda take on the Mass Effect trilogy but this feels more like a mashup between Morrowmind and ME: Andromeda.
I don't think this is a great deal for an XBox Series X. Starfield is on Game Pass and always will be. If you're buying a Series X and not getting Game Pass, then you're kind of doing it wrong. I get the "I want to buy it and not just rent it" attitude, but then wait for the GOTY edition with all the DLC for $30 in 2 years, rather than getting it now. You'd have to be valuing Starfield at MSRP for this to be a mildly compelling deal.
The deal for Series X is buying Microsoft gift cards at discount and then buying the Series X from a Microsoft store.
That's the key thing that's made baldurs gate such a hit and starfield such a snooze fest. All larian games are extremely handcrafted. Starfield is almost all empty pointless proceduralness.
I have to agree with this. A smaller number of planets that were handcrafted would have been a LOT more engaging than the seemingly endless number of barren procedurally generated worlds.
Sounds like you've never played a video game before.

What this game does have is something I have never seen before. 100% flexibly to play exactly how you want. A true role-playing game. I enjoyed hour one to hour 120, and I am not even close to finishing the main story. My advice. Play it how you want and stick with what you find fun. Contrary to most Bethesda titles, you do want to do a solid run of the main story until you feel compelled to do your own thing. Faction missions are awesome and 100% worth doing. The last one I did took me two days and could have been a game on its own.
Watch some reviews, both the good and the bad. Watch some gameplay and decide if it's for you. If you do decide to give it a chance, it can be the most robust and rewarding game you have ever played. This one is my opinion, but now that you see both sides make your own decision.
As far as the value, I have it on gamepass, and I purchased the physical copy after playing it, so I see lots of value in owning the disk version.
If this is the reason you make the leap to xbox, I say jump!
I've been seeing split reviews, being a huge fan of elder scrolls and fallout games, I've been waiting to see if they could keep the magic of the previous games.
One thing Bethesda does well is make games that have an old rustic, lived-in feel, and wasn't sure how that would translate to a clean modern space theme world. Would it have a soul or feel sterile?
After watching many reviews I admit I'm hesitant and need to see what DLC and support they have for the game. I'm happy to be patient on the sidelines and wait, won't rush out and buy an Xbox for one game.

I recommend checking out the gameranx (youtube) review for the game. He is very critical but fair in his review. That is nice to see with every other review, praising it or calling it trash.
I usually 100% agree with his opinion on games, but in this case, I like it much more than he does.
I am also a big Oblivion and Fall Out fan.
To answer your question, I feel the game does seem very lived in and alive. If you are not a fan of the procedural generation on planets, stick to the cities. The amount of dialog in this game is a whole new level I have never seen before. Want to know the clerk behind the counters' life story? You can! Pretty much any dialog enabled npc has a shocking amount of dialog.
If I were to wait on anything, it would be mod support to add immersion and quality of life fixes, but the game is great as is. Check it out on pc if you don't want to get the Xbox 😉
