    The Lemmy community desperately needs a mix of more people lol, how are most of these comments “I haven’t played but it sucks” 😂

      it’s because a lot of us didn’t pay for early access. so we have to wait.

      Agreed, there’s a couple comments of actually thoughtful replies but the vast majority is booo Bethesda bad because Bethesda.

        I was hoping that would be a good thing, but yeah… feels like a site-wide echo chamber almost lol

          I can attest that my comment was made in isolation. I intentionally didn’t look at conversations or reviews and wanted a fresh experience all to myself. So I’m not parroting or trying to push some negative narrative.

          Now that I’ve slept on it, I’m going to dive back in with my expectations reduced, and I’m hoping I’ll have lots of fun with it.

            I think your comment is totally fair, you actually tried the game and came to the opinion. I’m more so confused on the zero gameplay but I know it sucks comments.

      you don’t have to play a game to comment on it, especially when there’s so much material about it online because it is such a relevant title.

      I would never comment on an indie game because of a tweet I read. But this is not that and there’s a lot of info about it.

      Lemmy overall has somehow managed to become an even more negative place to post than Reddit

        Reddit has toxic positivity with regards to Starfield. I find the comments I’ve read here so far to be a much more measured take. Basically that it’s a good game but it has a few minor issues that make it not live up to what was advertised.

            More so this. The things I saw people saying they were gonna do once they got the game despite nothing of the sort being implied to be in the game were out of control. I’ve played the dog shit out of Skyrim and Fallout 4 and have yet to be let down by Starfield because I knew what to expect. And yes, I watched all of the ads and read the interviews, same as most, and never once felt lied to.

        so if I don’t like the game I should just avoid commenting because it isn’t positive? I prefer to see everyone’s take thanks

        I agree and it sucks. At least on Reddit you could generally avoid pointlessly negative people, whereas here it feels like that’s the majority of comments. I hope it changes into actual conversations at some point

        Uh, so you shouldn’t criticize games here…?

        I prefer people giving their honest opinions to whatever they think the collective deems acceptable.
