Kind of sick of devs being such cunts and denying the criticism so publically.

Starfield might not be objectively shit, but there is heaps of fair criticism. I fucking hated it for what it’s worth. Probably worst game I’ve played in 3-5 years.

It might not be shit, but it's pretty shit for 2023 and 80 dollars.

Well this was going to be their next big cash cow game that they keep re-releasing for 10 years, and they find it hard to accept that it's not working out.

Which means more efforts put into Elder scrolls 6. I dont see how this is not a win.

Starfield will be dependent on the community who'll do something fun with the engine anyways.

Don't get your hopes high, they can still fuck that up big time

If anyone thinks they won't, then they haven't been paying attention since fallout 4's release. Then fallout 76's release. And now this. No way elder scrolls doesn't shit the bed in 20 years, or whenever it's coming out.

To this very day 76 runs like absolute dog shit. They just released a paid DLC (on top of all the MTX bullshit) and yet shooting enemies is still broken and takes literal seconds in some cases to register, enemies still teleport around, and there's no real direction or incentives to explore anything. One of the worst games I've ever tried to play and every time I give it another chance, nothing has improved for the better.

I'm gonna try and save you time and money. Just wait for modders to make that game in Skyrim. I'm fairly sure Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr isn't as far along as some of the others, but you'll have other major mods to play in the meanwhile.

Orrrrr “sorry guys but you wrote a dog of a game so we’re letting you all go” since that seems to be in vogue these days.

Maybe some enterprising souls in the mod community will release an overhaul at some point, but that point will unfortunately not be soon, given the work it would entail.
