I’ve had a fair share of mediocre and disappointing games and usually they followed the same pattern of buzz on the internet, they either don’t get talked as much or they aren’t discussed that much at all outside of their respective communities. I’m currently in my first playthrough of Starfield and personally i found it quite solid. It might not be skyrim, but from what i see, combined with my experience and internet reception, it sure as hell isn’t mediocre nor bad even. It’s not the first iteration of CP2077 before phantom liberty where people are so disappointed that they didn’t even bother playing the game, that it took cdprojekt red an anime and a huge dlc to save their rep to finally make people realize that the game is actually fun even if it didn’t came out how the people wanted it to be. It’s certainly not watchdogs legion where people are kind of hyped of the premised but when it first came out nobody even talks about the game, it just sits there unannounced with poor reception. It’s not outer worlds where people were talking about how this is the fallout killer but when the game just releases, poof! nobody is talking about it.
So either Im looking at the wrong place for Starfield’s reception or Starfield actually managed to achieve something that makes people come back and discuss about this game. Not only that, it has 10 million on its first opening sales. So what do you guys think?
Rumoured they spent $400 million to make Starfield from one of most experienced studios game? Yes it feels outdated with nothing new.
Don’t use Cyberpunk as example game was always good but run poorly or had technical issues. That’s the difference. Also CDPR only made one AAA game before.
How many Skyrim version Bethesda sold making billions? They had the money to make this best RPG ever sure if it came out 10 years ago.
