    Idk, I think it’s not the best game, but I also think it suffers a bit from “it’s not perfect and we hyped the hell out of it so because it’s only good that means it’s horrible.”

    Like I will absolutely admit it’s not the best game, but I enjoy it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Yeah. I was never going to buy it (not really a fan of anything Bethesda does besides Elder Scrolls, if even), and the game just looks like exactly the kind of game Bethesda’s made for the past decade and a half. Not really sure what people were expecting. Like, yeah, Todd said it was going to be different this time, but he’s been saying that for a while now. There’s a reason we have all those memes about him. If people actually believed him, it’s kind of their own fault at this point.

        Yeah I mean it’s a Bethesda game, I like Bethesda games so I enjoyed it, if you don’t like Bethesda games then prolly don’t get it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Yup, that’s why I didn’t buy it. I liked Morrowind because it was fresh at the time (pretty good side content, okay story), thought Skyrim was lame because it was just shallower Morrowind (worse everything except graphics). I tried one of the Fallout games and it wasn’t my thing (worse character creation vs Morrowind, mediocre story, repetitive).

        So I figured Starfield was going to be similar to those games, as in lots of hype with a mediocre delivery. And it seems I was right. Initial reviews praised things I don’t care about and criticized things I do. So I’m glad I didn’t buy into the hype.
