There isn’t anything to fit the Bethesda style open world
Starfield doesn't fit it either what are you on about lol, 90% of Bethesda games have proper handcrafted words and are better in almost every way than starfield outside of graphics and combat
Me saying something is objectively worse in some ways doesn't ruin anything for anyone, if it did then they clearly didn't enjoy it themselves, grow up, its called criticism
subjectively worse. as in its your opinion. grow up, and learn that what you believe is not universally held to be important. also maybe get a dictionary.
No, there are objectively things starfield did worse, its not just "my opinion" that some old bethesda games followers that had their own worldview and weren't carbon cutouts and almost identical beliefs wise. It's not my opinion that there are less handcrafted locations that make for far more generic level exploration, and that's just scratching the surface. You're one of those people who'd say mouldy bread is only "subjectively bad", some people like it!
bethesda dickriders are the both tiresome people on the internet, like a billion dollar company needs their boots licked and every mistake defended by hordes of fanboys no matter what. Starfield does a lot of things worse than Skyrim, no debate, its provable., it's like saying a sandwich with cheese is more boring than a fancy one, its just an observation
if someone doesnt like eggplant most people just accept that and move on instead of trying to convince them that they would like eggplant more if they ate a lot of it.
It’s always sad watching fanboys act like this. It’s apparent that they have none of their own accomplishments and hope to bask in some of Larian’s reflected glory as if liking the game is some kind of feat. Like in college football when fans of mid SEC teams try doing the SEC chant in out of conference games. Like yeah, it’s a great conference/game. But you had nothing to do with that.
It really is absurd with BG3, too. A game that is really good but Reddit has overhyped it to such an extreme level that even though I like it (not love it) I feel like I have to be contrarian just because. It's not a perfect game by any means.
This is why gamers get a bad rep. It's insane how many people in this thread would rather die on their hill than accept someone else might prefer Starfield over Baldur's Gate 3 or whatever other game the zeitgeist considers to be its darling.
Starfield doesn't make you do a 2d20+6 or whatever to figure out what ability to use and thats the greater point. Sure you are using the random number generator with your 86% accurate rifle but what you know is that its 86% likely to hit the pixel your crosshair is on and damn near 100% likely to hit one very close to it for the number printed on the box.
The way the user perceives the random system matters to the feel of the game.
BG3 is not a rich open world…it’s not even an open world. It’s also point in click movement with turn-based combat. Not saying it’s bad, it just isn’t very comparable to a game like Starfield or open world ARPGs in general outside of it being an RPG.
Exactly, and the world has next to no interactivity, and if you think people are going nowhere in Starfield, well literally every NPC in BG3 is waiting for you to interact with them. It's a very different style of game.

Like what? There isn’t anything to fit the Bethesda style open world. Especially this year.
