I understand ads are targeted. I started seeing it a lot after watching a few BG3 videos. I'm not gonna waste my time watching YouTube videos about vacuum cleaners. ???As an XBOX owner with the Starfield preordered, sure.
Firstly, go an watch 10 youtube/tiktok vids about vacuum cleaners and then see what those apps/websites algorithms show you the next time you visit.
Secondly, could you show us these add? As with OP, I haven't seen any or any hands on gameplay outside of what Bethesda controls.
Math is hard.
Absolutely. 23 days, not 18. My mistake. I'll ask a mod to change the title. Again my mistake.
The point however, remains the same.
Here you go. I hope you can sleep better now.
Yet, outside of the core, there doesn't seem to be much awareness.
Noticed this about a week ago. Seems like its been radio silence since the direct a month ago. Kinda weird. Still hyped though. Hope its a GOTY contender.

#1 most wishlisted on Steam for months. It’s tracking better preorder positions than Elden Ring or Hogwarts Legacy on Steam. A month from release, it’s the 3rd highest paid game on Steam top sellers, just behind BG3 and Remnant 2.
I wouldn’t be concerned about this game with respect to awareness. As long as it lands at the required quality level, it’ll sell millions, quickly enough.
Lol how is it controversial that fallout 4 was terrible?
award for least on topic comment goes to ........
We need to see how it actually runs on consolesThe one hour direct already sold the game to everybody. What else do we need ?

Lol, he is the OP. What is this threads?Interesting. Just last week you said
Where did you finally see the independent gameplay that drove you to preorder?
Aren’t you OP?

For this reason I cannot find the hype for starfield in me…
I am pretty excited about the game, but I do always have a little bit of concern when a big game is close to release without being shown raw footage or much gameplay. It had that huge showcase which did show a lot, but I don't think it is unreasonable to want more shown. The marketing for this game has been odd from the start. They announced it ages ago with years between with no real footage and then they started teasing the game for almost two years with no gameplay. I haven't seen any ads or real promos since that showcase. I remember how much that last Zelda TotK trailer took a lot of worries away from people who were still skeptical. I hope they have something between now and the launch trailer.Starfield has been positioned by XBOX as XBOX's most important ip in a generation. Yet, outside of the core, there doesn't seem to be much awareness. Which is where marketing kicks in and raises awareness that the games release is imminent. XBOX is no stranger to impressive and impactful marketing on TV and social media. However, with the game releasing in just 23 days, silence.
Even worse, and perhaps this is just my personal preference, there has been zero hands on gameplay. Sure, we got the studios deep dive but with the gaming industry being what it is, I've always valued independent gameplay hands on to get a better sense of the game beyond carefully selected segments presented by the studio itself. And again, nothing?
For a game carrying the proverbial weight of XBOX on its shoulders, a lack of marketing and hands on, independent gameplay, is interesting to say the least.
EDIT
Mods please change title to 23 days instead of 18. My math is unacceptable.
I think that window has passedThis screams "delay".
I’ve never heard of Starfield. Marketing must be terrible.

Sorry I should’ve been more clear
Well then now your comment is vaguely on topic
I also struggle to get mega hyped. Not because of anything Bethesda or the Starfield has done, more because we've had so many botched releases lately. I have very little confidence that Starfield won't be riddled with bugs on release. Attitude these days (seemingly for everything except Nintendo first party and maybe a few exceptions) seems to be "release it now, we can patch it later, fuck em".
Great marketing for a box maker, this.
Spider-Man 2 has billboards and trains across Europe, story trailers, and a soon to be released tv ad that debuted at EVO. So far for Starfield which drops in 23 days...

I thought it was the new track and field game using celebrities, gonna be upset if I can't do 100m hurdle with peter dinklage in this Star Field game.I’ve never heard of Starfield. Marketing must be terrible.
Either you're extremely willfully ignorant or you've finally bit the bullet on your biggest fantasy and put me on the ignore list
Oh yeah I remember playing Oblivion on 360 back in the day. I think it was one of the first games for me (on console at least) where you could sort of "go anywhere". Remember wandering around poking my nose into all sorts of business, annoying castle guards and getting killed/put in jail before I managed to make much progress with the main storyline. Good old times!Sorry I should’ve been more clear
I launched oblivion on 360 yesterday. I am so nostalgic for it. But I was hyped easier back then since I was not a grumpy old guy lol
You are trying too hard.
How is posting me saying the same exact thing, from a different thread some type of win or gotcha? Also, your reading comprehension must be compromised if you think me saying "As with OP" is another gotcha. Referencing a post I made earlier, is just that.
But given your history, I understand that you see my OP as an attack on the IP, as opposed to me asking a question.
