    There really is something about Starfield that makes it so fun to hate. I usually just ignore stuff I don’t like, but really do make an exception for this game.

    I think it’s the way that people circlejerked the shit out of it on release and disregarded any criticism, so the vindication that it was ultimately a lifeless husk of a game was so satisfying.

      I guess I’m in the minority, but I really like Starfield, warts and all.

        Same! I didn’t watch any trailers/presentations or read any hype. It’s exactly what I thought it would be. I’ve had a lot of fun discovering the universe.

        Not to say it’s a perfect game with no faults. But I do love it.

          Genuine question, what do you do? I got burnt out after my third playthrough. The faction quest lines are great but outside of that the game is shallow and outposts make me want to die,l.

      I personally think people just have hateboners for certain devs and companies.

      Like people love to shit on Fallout 3 and 4, but it doesn’t change the fact that they’re still some of the most played games ever.

        I mean, they do. But the case for Starfield specifically is how absolutely shite it is by comparison to even previous Bethesda games.

        Much rather play Fallout 3, 4 and any Elder Scrolls game than Starfield.

        Yeah, but most played games ever puts them in the bracket with COD, FIFA and mobile games. Not exactly esteemed company…

        Like what you like, but those games are essentially the McDonald’s of the video game landscape. They’re fun and have mass appeal.

        Personally, I went into Starfield very open minded and not expecting too much, but was still very disappointed.

        See, this is exactly what people mean by disregarding any criticism.

      disregarded any criticism

      Some people still do this. It is still pretty damn funny.

    Prediction: they are gonna release some shitty pieces of DLC to technically fulfill their obligation to the idiots who bought some sort of ultra-elite-platinum version of the game or whatever it’s called, after which point they will abandon the game, because no one cares at this point, them least of all.
