sameNothing wrong with it at all. People love RDR2 and I couldn't get into it at all. Thought the game was boring as hell.

The reviews were already trending towards being negative long before it was even nominated for that award my friend.
The amount of imagination necessary to believe that more than 100k people purchased the game just to review bomb it is fascinating. But then maybe that's what's required to enjoy a game of this calibre.
To be fair, the decade is only 3 years old.“Best game of the decade”…. You need to play more games lol.
For how much this gets used as the butt of jokes (which is understandable, I mocked it in that thread as well), it's basically one guy creating the thread followed by 99% of the posts saying they haven't seen any hype. And this gets used endlessly to say the game is hyped into the stratosphere. Just read the replies.Nothing.
Anyway, the only thing Starfield will be remembered for in a few years on GAF is this thread.
The hype around Starfield is massive, and growing.
The last game I can remember that had this type of hype leading up to its release was Red Dead Redemption 2. It's trending on twitter every day. Forums and social media are all about Starfield, and MS hasn't advertised jack shit for it. I haven't really been a Bethesda guy, but I am a space...www.neogaf.com
It's the 'massive and growing' thing. I don't think anyone should have taken OP seriously (myself included), they should have just laughed about it instead.For how much this gets used as the butt of jokes (which is understandable, I mocked it in that thread as well), it's basically one guy creating the thread followed by 99% of the posts saying they haven't seen any hype.

bingo!Game didn't release on ps5 and this forum is mostly ps5 owners

You're right, it's not on the same level. It's better.God, the amount of "flaws" Elden Ring has that people are willing to overlook because it's "DA GOAT"
Or Baldur's Gate 3
Or Tears of the Kingdom
I am not saying Starfield is on the same level as those games (I don't think it is, and I think very few people would), but I do very much think it has been getting a lot of criticisms that other universally acclaimed games also deserve and do not get.
congrats on discussing something completely irrelevant to the fact there are in fact negative reviews that have stemmed from it winning a steam award, which is manipulating the game's score, which is review bombing.
go ahead, make another point I wasn't discussing, or better yet, go discuss it with someone who cares as much as you do.
Yeah those fucking dudes they even bought the game on steam just to give it bad reviews.Game didn't release on ps5 and this forum is mostly ps5 owners

Works both ways.There's nothing wrong with liking it. There is something wrong with relentlessly shitting on it.
Set him to ignore. Nothing is lost when a haters words don’t reach your brain.

this is me and ff16 i love the game but most shit on it.
I don't like the ignore feature but it's clear now his posts aren't worth my energySet him to ignore. Nothing is lost when a haters words don’t reach your brain.
Wait... are you serious? So based on what you're saying, Starfield is much better than The Last of Us 2
Your comment deserves a 5.8 as well.
Same, but I understand that might be because I only saw one trailer early on and was not only on media blackout, but also for quite a while after playing it. I think it's 90% expectations and hype. We should be able to, in hindsight at least, judge games on their own merits.I enjoyed playing No Man's Sky in 2016 when everyone was hating on it.
If you enjoy play Starfield good for you. Keep on enjoying it.
I am glad it resonated that strongly with you. My best friend adores it too.You're right, it's not on the same level. It's better.
I mean, you might be right about there being something that these types of games do for people like me with ADHD and OCD. I get lost in games like Starfield. There have been days where I I have a plan for what I want to accomplish, but then I turn on the game and something distracts me. 4 hours later and I need to go to sleep. I’ve probably spent 40+ hours in ship building alone. Ship building has been a huge distraction. A distraction that I have loved. I still think I have the best ship ever.

Some people prefer to be "stuck in the past" when a lot of "trendy" games with modern design are unlikable. Nothing wrong with liking different things because there's plenty of styles to go around with so many developers and games these days.Well they're like me hurt because of all the lies but also the game feels dated as fuck with everything other than the physics systems. It feels like a game stuck in 2012 and not a game of the generation or even a fucking goty contender. It's a combination of the game being disappointing and being stuck in the past.
When Skyrim feels like an upgrade over this game then you know something has gone wrong
This.Nothing's wrong.
At the end of the day, if you like a game, other people's opinions are irrelevant.
Context matters.
TLOU 2 was politically charged, and with the main character being killed was highly divisive for that reason alone
For Starfield, there were no major controversies. It runs well, has no major bugs (a surprise for a Bethesda game) or performance problems. You cannot point to anything other than the game’s quality leading directly to those user scores
I enjoyed my time with it; between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield, 2023 was great for RPG’s.
Nah that's not how it works.Works both ways.
You’re right. Shitting on something constantly is worse. Thanks for the response.Nah that's not how it works.
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty as well.Diablo 4, BG3, Starfield. 2023 was the year of the WRPGs.

How so? You think Bethesda is doing this planned roadmap because of the people that constantly defend it or because of the group shitting on it? Like it or not it usually takes an overwhelming reaction to something to get a company to move.You’re right. Shitting on something constantly is worse. Thanks for the response.
Bethesda game in space is exactly what I wanted and was delivered.I'm only 5 or so hours in, but I've really liked it so far. I was expecting a Bethesda RPG in space, and that's what it is. My main fear was that the gunplay would be as poor as Fallout's, but thankfully weapons work very well long range and it doesn't have the same hit detection issues. At this pace it will definitely be in the running for one of the best 2023 titles.
What's politically charged about GT7, why is it a 2.4 user score on Metacritic?
You have low threshold and don't value your time, that's all. Good for you, enjoy the game.In love with Starfield, my personal best game of the decade.
I keep reading and watching critical pieces against Starfield, how it didn't deliver what was promised, how it is made with old standards for RPGs etc.
But you know what? This game is all I could ask for, I just cannot stop playing it, my PS5 hasn't been cleaned out of dust for weeks since only XSX is getting heat.
And I am happy to see many gaffers enjoying it just like I do.
I didn't start this thread just to say that I love game which has been hammered by critics, nor to say what I like in this game in contrary.
But let's discuss of the limits of objectively valid points against game versus actual fun one can have with it. You know what I mean?
