Even people in the starfield sub are pretty mixed on it. Nearly every comment is, I liked it at first but now I’m bored. And that’s a sub dedicated to it.
Its rife with fucking losers who spend their time stalking the sub of a game they claim to hate.
It was flooded in the 2 weeks prior to launch, numbers flew up sharply. Probably just full of angry PS kids and MS haters.
Much of the negativity, especially shortly after launch was from people who hadn't even played the game.
Its fucking bonkers. People have watched streamers, then written full on review posts.
The problem with Starfield is not that it isn't a great game.
The problem with Starfield is many people assumed they would love it, purely because of the hype.
So they didn't actually manage expectations for anything about the actual reality of the game.
It was clearly going to be like all the other Bethesda games, but in space with a spaceship and lots of planets. Which for some people, is amazing. For some not so much. Fine, fuck off move on.
It was fucking obvious they hadn't reinvented the wheel for anyone who watched any of the gameplay videos.
So many fucking morons now in the gaming "world", i miss the days when it was niche and not every fucking pleb with a smartphone had a 2 page opinion for a game they played for 2 hours, acting like it was life or death.
