I figured you’d have enjoyed all the both sides bullshyt in itYeah I grew tired of it after a while it was fun in the beginning but
Starfiled was the only single player game among the 10 most played for 2023

- Start date
They know this, they're just playing dumb and changing the context to 'splain away the reception.
The “reception” is that people have spent more time playing the game than any other first player game on the year.
I’m not the one trying to “splain away” anything.
As always. Y’all attack facts and numbers with your opinions
except no.Not sure why this matters so much to you. Each platform has its most popular games. Starfiled is the only single player game on ANY of those lists.
Mod support isn’t even out yet.
Game is gonna get another big boost and yall gone have to jewelz even harder to hate on it
The main issues people have with the game cannot be modded out. It's been gone over. They are fundamental engine issues. A primary core of the modders that have kept Skyrim/Fallout alive all these years tapped on Starfield ALREADY.
The Creation Kit cannot fix the mass loading screens, cannot stitch together the plots to make an explorable planet and cannot allow you to actually... explore in the space exploration game. The core loot distribution is broken, the character progression cannot be overhauled in the way they could in Skyrim and the base-level mechanics of the way the game was designed are more closed off and less modder-accessible than any other BGS game has been.
And this is visible before the CK comes out.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Again.
Also... its Juelzing. Juelz. Not Jewelz. Much like it's not Stan's.
The hate coursing through your veins is palpable
thread title (and spelling) isn't accurate, because the top ten lists were for all three consoles, and Nintendo's list included several single player games. this is only a comparison of Xbox and Playstation's lists
Only one of those 3 games made it to a subscription service at no extra charge. It also happens to be the only on to have made that list. I don’t doubt millions more people played Starfield because they didn’t have to buy it but this is like comparing the collective watch time of people that bought tickets to a movie only at the theater on release to that number with a movie on Peacock and in theaters the same day.
So you’re saying subscription models encourage people to play games?The 11th best selling game of the year makes the list as a single player game yet Hogwarts Legacy (#1) and Spider-Man 2 (#4) games that sold better didn’t make the list.

Yes to the point they may play games they normally wouldn’t even buy. The monetization of that model is another story.
I listen to artist today like The Struts and Bleachers that I would have never listened to without Spotify. The Sturts are my most listened to artist in the past few years by far.
I also haven’t spent a single dime on any of their music. They get paid whatever Spotify pays them.
Put Baldur's Gate 3 on Game Pass and it probably doubles its player count. It probably also makes substantially less money for the developer. It’s on the developer and publisher to weigh that out and balance it. Many opt to skip the subscription service until the game is dead. Comparing play time of a hyped game on a sub service vs one that isn’t really doing much.

Bang Bang Packers gang!
yall really hate on FO4 and i dunno why. That game was still good and still gets some play from me todayEven the FO3 -> FO4 -> FO76 regression got me shookCan’t even say let Obsidian have it because their shyt hasn’t hit like FONV either
Talk to me, not yall. I never said I hated it. I don’t like it as much as the two games before it, but it’s solid. I was speaking to the trend of BGS games
So does sony giving spider-man 2 away for free with every console sold make people play more spider-man??Yes to the point they may play games they normally wouldn’t even buy. The monetization of that model is another story.

blathering blatherskite!
I like Fallout 4, it’s the only series BGS still makes that i care about. It’s just simply not a huge step up from 3 and new vegas, and in a lot of ways a regression
Loadfield was the most trialed game, yes.
If you had to buy a new PS5 to get it then you had to pay a fair amount. I have a PS5 and I don’t have a copy of Spider-Man 2. Also have an Xbox Series X and got access to Starfield easily. If you wanna pretend like spending $500 is the same as spending like $11 or so be my guest but you aren’t fooling anyone but yourself.So does sony giving spider-man 2 away for free with every console sold make people play more spider-man??
What was Hogwarts which also didn’t make that list given away with btw?
