Yeah same, it was just looking forward to the game to just play it and at the time i had no issues about it working fine on PC, shame we can't say that nowMy hype levels were nuclear for that. It was last time I went to Best Buy for a midnight launch. Good times.
I don't know man. I respect Skyrim for what it was and did for the gaming industry, but every time I tried playing it I would just get bored. I don't know what it is, but something is off for me with the way Elder Scrolls is. The only Bethesda game I've ever finished was Fallout 3. However, this was a very very long time ago and back then I didn't really have much patience, Elder Scrolls is a very slow paced and the combat for me also felt slow. However, now that I am older I think I may have the patience now for more slow paced titles.Oh yeah, it was truly special. The game blew me away. The only disappointing thing was the simplified RPG mechanics but I was able to look past that. I've yet to be immersed in a game world like I was with Skyrim.
Nope, @StueyDuck is actually right.
This whole "hype" feels... incredibly manufactured friend, we can argue all we want about the opposite but...
Mind you, I'm not excluding exclusives from other platforms, like, say, like GOW Ragnarok etc, hype is hype and the targeted demographic will - obviously - be interested and anticipating said title, having said that...I just can't shake the feeling that the "hype " around Starfield is A) manufactured, B) due to a real thirst for a AAA "exclusive" especially after the 3 year MS no-show shitshow and C) both.
Bethesda RPGs, are a known quantity and many of their titles have been (almost) cultural phenomenons (especially Skyrim), to laud this game though - or any other game for that matter - as the 2nd coming of Christ is just pure, unadulterated hyperbole - especially after FO4 and FO76.
Regarding now the "console warring mentality" that you mentioned...people need to stop seeing ghosts or "enemies" all the time, this constant persecution complex and the fact that users in here can't see eye to eye due to their liege towards their plastic fucking box of choice had gotten long in the tooth, people ARE allowed to both disagree with another's opinion and express their thoughts/opinions without the other party getting their knickers in a twist.
Cheers
By replying to it? Makes sense.
And who is seething now?It's been a rough decade or so for Xbox gamers, and for some reason they chose to mostly seethe instead of just buying a PlayStation lmao.

There's plenty not anticipating Starfield like those on Xbox exclusively. This is the Xbox big game that is going to make/break it for some (so they claim). This is why you're seeing as much as you are about it. You have hardcore Xbox people that will claim it's the best game they've ever played. You have the hardcore PS people that will say it flopped even if it's a solid game. You have hardcore Nintendo people that are awaiting Super Mario Wonder and have no idea what a Starfield is.
On top of that, this is the big Bethesda RPG regardless of a system. People have fond memories of Skyrim and Fallout 3 so they have trust in Todd to deliver after the meh Fallout 4 and atrocious 76.
Because 2023 has been such a great gaming year, I'm hoping this is great just for gamer's sake. But that's why you're seeing so much about it. But I am not anticipating like most. I have had a solid year and way bigger games come out this year. Like Super Mario Wonder.
nobody, we can also play this on PC and I'm glad Xbox gamers don't have to pretend ReCore and The Medium are good games anymore.And who is seething now?
You make some agreeable points here, particularly the last paragraph, but the idea that no one is actually excited about this game and that it's all just "manufactured" hype is silly.
Maybe you're you're not feeling that particular level of excitement, but that doesn't mean that others' anticipation isn't genuine. No need to try to throw a wet blanket over other people's excitement.
Yea but everyone hates Diablo 4 nowdo you have amnesia? there was already two this year lol (TOTK and D4)
true, im one of them, but it was def hype lolYea but everyone hates Diablo 4 now
Not before they reeled in millions of sales from people who failed to realize that trusting blizz is always a mistake. I only hope that somehow they managed to fail to recoup production costs and D4 remains a net negative for blizzard.Yea but everyone hates Diablo 4 now
Where is all this hype? I've seen much more people talking about BG 3 pre release than I'm seeing about Starfield
What I really see are 4-5 users creating threads for anything Starfield related for reasons unknown. It got tiresome 10 threads ago.
"Bethesda is putting Starfield billboards all around the world" was the latest one created just now
Why is this news? Why making a thread for it?
Algorithm aside, and without going into subjective territory that will hurt the fanboys, Elden Ring came out last year so unless you live in a bubble… yah.
That one baffled me. Seemed super obvious that it would likely follow a similar path as Diablo III. Launching with abominable monetization and balance issues. Finally great a few years after release.true, im one of them, but it was def hype lol
yeah, this "i need to self-affirmation from everyone that the game i like it ll be great and review well, creating threads all the time about an "antecipation" that isn't high as u are thinking" and then complain about people who don't agree with you is not "childish" at all, it's a very mature personality trait.Please explain to me how sharing anticipation about a game release is "childish online console warring".
I'm not saying there's no hype at all. But seems much more "niche" than other big releases this year (Zelda or BG 3, for example)There's 9 threads on Starfield on the front page of NeoGAF alone. 7 on Era. Dominating virtually every gaming subreddit on Reddit. Trending on Twitter.
Are those "4-5 users" accounting for the 84k views on the gameplay leak thread here? The 63k on the Starfield hype thread?
If you're claiming you're not seeing any hype for Starfield you're either lying or burying your head in the sand.
