The fucked up thing is that no matter how bad and disappointing Starfield was, and no matter how bad and disappointing their subsequent games will be, I’ll still buy and be naively excited for Elder Scrolls VI because Skyrim was such a foundational gaming experience 😩

Just wait a year or two and it'll be half the price or better

Gotta love seeing CoD and Doom agreeing on this.

Half the price or better and also have a massive modding scene which fixes all the Bethesda jank.

Would you want to play it (and support Bethesda) if it's as bad as Starfield? If yes I won't judge you, but if not it's worth it to wait 1-2 weeks. If it's bad and you still want to play, the seven seas might provide a solution...

I genuinely don’t know how anyone who played Starfield could willingly give Bethesda more money for another game. I didn’t even get to the procedurally generated part before quitting.

I also only lasted 5 hours in Diablo 4. I normally play very curated high quality games and finish what I start no matter what, so this was a huge shock to me having two unprecedented flops back to back.

tldr fuck gaming I’m touching grass instead

Starfield wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't great, very mediocre. I bought the limited edition like a fool because I saw the gameplay trailers and thought it looked awesome. I should have expected there would be very little depth to any of the systems.

Fallout 4 and Skyrim are my top played games on Steam by a mile, but I always play heavily modded.

A lot of people who played star field didnt pay for it. It was a game pass day one release, which I took to mean they had no hope it would sell well.
