The discourse around Starfield is ridiculous. Critics are judging it as if it should be a groundbreaking masterpiece that redefines the industry, justifying all the hype and development time. Their expectations were too high. Many of them forget that they didn’t even like Fallout 4 until the mods came out. Sure, they might say they liked it now, but when it was released, people complained it wasn’t as good as New Vegas and criticized the story and settlement building.
These critics had unrealistic expectations and want to push the narrative that Bethesda isn’t making the games they want and should rehire Obsidian. They seem to want this game to fail and are irritated that people actually enjoy it.
When the game was released, instead of sharing their opinions in the main thread, they created a separate hate thread to make it look like more people disliked it than loved it. It’s strange because, no matter how big Bethesda is or how much money Microsoft has, and regardless of the quality of their previous games, it’s still just one video game. If you don’t like it, don’t play it. Stop trying to convince everyone else to dislike it too.
It’s like misery loves company or something, lol.
