How does that horrible game even have players?
I'm sure a rational response is just going to get downvoted to oblivion, but it's actually a fun game. Not my favorite from Bethesda, but I definitely enjoyed the 1k hours I put into it last year, and I look forward to dipping back in once the DLC drops and there are more mods (not paid creations) available.
You’re the actual proof that unpopular opinion does not result in downvotes to oblivion.
From now on : « remember that guy who said he LIKED Starfield… »
Well no downvotes from me, that's a valid opinion.
What do you do for 1k hours in Starfield?
You nailed it. The ship-building, especially with the early mods that allowed more part rotation and clipping, REALLY sucked me in. I am excited to check out the enhancements BGS added to that system when I next play.
There was a mod that allowed you to (mostly) control door placement, but I'm not sure if it's even still needed.
Base building, charting planets, roleplaying, bounty hunting, going to NG+, making different decisions in questlines, and more.
The game is actually pretty good.
It's free on gamepass
Tribalism is surprisingly rampant in gaming, especially when a developer picks a side/is acquired by the creator of "their" console.
Starfield has a lot of good aspects, but also some bone-headed gameplay and content decisions. I had a lot of fun with it for a few weeks and will come back to it if/when it gets to a better state.
Sunk cost, they pre-ordered it, and they are darn well going to play it, even if they don't enjoy doing so.
Don't pull the video games especially when they're digitally distributed. It's not like they can run out.
Or they actually enjoy it. Just because you and others don't doesn't mean everyone doesn't. I didn't pay anything for it and thoroughly enjoyed it, and will do so more when the DLC comes out. As with anything there are valid points of criticism but so much of the hate for it is fully because of people's idiocy and not anything else, I've never before seen so much deeply stupid criticism for something.
I have no problem with people liking it. But I know for a fact that a lot of people really are just obsessed with it because they got bamboozled into pre-ordering, because Bethesda, and they don't want to admit they made a mistake.
People want to believe their lie.
