It still blows my mind that people defend this game. I know it’s mostly a mixture of Xbox fanboys, Bethesda simps, and Reddit contrarians, but it’s still insane to me. The game is objectively bad.
I asked someone outright, "What was new in Starfield? What new gameplay did they bring to the table?"
They had no answer other than "It was just a really solid gameplay experience".
The reality is, nothing it does is unique nor done very well. But people have the memory of goldfish and don't want to go against the corporate hegemony that is the broader zeitgeist, so they will comply even if they know something sucks.
Yeah. I've probably put over a thousand hours into Morrowind, FO3, NV, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I bought Starfield knowing it probably wouldn't be great, but hoping it would be better than most of the garbage coming out recently. It was pathetic. The dialogue was terrible, the crafting/gunsmithing was not innovative in the slightest, the base aspect and ship building made no sense. Aside from all the other reddit tier speech options, having half a dozen characters literally say they were upset because I didn't "Trust the science" was the cherry on top.
It was relatively bug-free as far as bethesda games on release go…
"It didn't crash and wipe my progress 20 hours in a Bethesda game. That's highly innovative!"
So, it had all the same bugs as every other Bethesda game, and the same community patches fixed them?
Even all the people I know who were consuuuming at the thought of this release were utterly disappointed after the first week of coping
I like it.
Seems the same as FO4 to me. I just like to go around and shoot things with different guns and loot. And I'm not that good at shooters, so it's good that it's easy for me and there's something else to do like loot and craft.
It's not innovative, though.
I think people follow these too closely. I only vaguely knew that Beth was making a space game. When it came out, everybody was talking about it, so I bought it and came in with no expectations.
