I know I'm in the minority, but I fucking love Starfield.

It's a galactic scale zen garden when I need peace.

It's a shooter/space combat sim when I choose violence.

There's things that aren't good about it, it needs so many more factions, followers, and NPC interaction points to fill the fish bowl that's there, but there's so much to love too, IMHO.

In a time where MOST major studio games have turned to no effort live service dogshit, I think hating on flawed but grand games like Starfield as just more unsalvagable garbage is just an invitation to studios to keep churning out actual garbage like Suicide Squad since there's no pleasing modern gamers so don't bother trying, just lean entirely on an IPs nostalgia.

So happy for you! I think it's a fine game with great highs, but it is a different game when compared to Skyrim obviously, which makes one wonder how ES6 would be.

Edit: fixed the ?. I was genuinely happy for you

You make it sound as if I'm the one that brought Starfield up out of nowhere in relation to Skyrim/TE6.

No wait. That "?" was a typo. I genuinely meant I'm happy for you.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah thank you for the clarification! Sorry socials can be hostile places didn't mean to take that the most hostile way.

Yeah. It was my bad.
