Starfield

Yeah idk. After spending almost 200 hours with this I can’t comprehend the hate that receives. Is it disappointing? Yes, in many ways. I have boat loads of criticism. It’s definitely NOT a great game. But it is at least a decent-to-good, competent game. The discussion around it suggests that this game is an unplayable dumpster fire, and it just isn’t. It’s certainly better than Fallout 4. It’s felt for years like game/media discussion has been trending hyperbolic, and I think that really crystallized in 2023 with this being a prime example.

No interest in playing this but that recent video by Neverknowsbest makes me seriously question how some of yall have all this energy to spend on a game you don't like. Like if this how you're gonna react to a disappointing video game, how are you gonna react to something that actually matters? Don't like a game? Cool, give it a thumbs down on steam and go look for something else. Unless it's MGS2, in which case, hate away.

Do wish Emil would sue those Youtubers if only to start a reckoning for all the cockroaches that infest that site.

If you spent 100 hours playing this game and hated it, they'll tell you that you enjoyed it enough to play it for that long.

If you only played for 10 hours and hated it, they'll tell you that you didn't play it long enough to have an educated opinion on it.

You just can't win.

Outer Worlds is way better

Don't know how this game was hyped that much before release considering the amount of people who completely lost trust in Bethesda after fallout 76

What I dont understand about this video game is that it's not just bad but significantly worse at the aspects that Bethesda fans love about their games; exploration and gunplay. Like, those were the things they had! Sure these games might have weak RPG elements and bad stories but they're fun to roam around and shoot in. In this game you don't explore anything and the guns just feel like Fallout 4 again. Really baffling

There are many aspects of this game that I don't like, but the point I want to make is different. I think this game gets unnecessary hate. In fact, Bethesda did not show the player anything that was not in Starfield. They delivered what they promised in trailers, teasers and gameplay videos.
