No, that's what modders are for. Why pay your expensive developers to make a full and fun game when you can develop a husk of a fun game and let volunteers do the rest?
80 dollar game btw
70 MSRP
They already did apparently, "there are so many ways to enjoy Starfield" according to that Bethesda guy gaslighting me on my negative Steam review.
There really is something about Starfield that makes it so fun to hate. I usually just ignore stuff I don’t like, but really do make an exception for this game.
I think it’s the way that people circlejerked the shit out of it on release and disregarded any criticism, so the vindication that it was ultimately a lifeless husk of a game was so satisfying.
I personally think people just have hateboners for certain devs and companies.
Like people love to shit on Fallout 3 and 4, but it doesn't change the fact that they're still some of the most played games ever.
I mean, they do. But the case for Starfield specifically is how absolutely shite it is by comparison to even previous Bethesda games.
Much rather play Fallout 3, 4 and any Elder Scrolls game than Starfield.
Yeah, but most played games ever puts them in the bracket with COD, FIFA and mobile games. Not exactly esteemed company…
Like what you like, but those games are essentially the McDonald’s of the video game landscape. They’re fun and have mass appeal.
Personally, I went into Starfield very open minded and not expecting too much, but was still very disappointed.
Don't be an elitist, taste is subjective.
Wrong.
Every famous/5-star/gourmet chef has a favorite shitty food. That's just a fact.
Taste is subjective.
See, this is exactly what people mean by disregarding any criticism.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like Starfield, warts and all.
Same! I didn't watch any trailers/presentations or read any hype. It's exactly what I thought it would be. I've had a lot of fun discovering the universe.
Not to say it's a perfect game with no faults. But I do love it.
disregarded any criticism
Some people still do this. It is still pretty damn funny.
I expected it to be on par with Fallout 4 or Skyrim. Not just the systems, though. But like... The worldbuilding and the stuff that actually makes those games fun. Starfield is so very big and yet so very small and empty at the same time. Its world building is incoherent and feels like people who don't actually appreciate sci-fi just throwing every sci-fi trope they know into one big pot so it's familiar and yet wrong at every major turning point of the various plots in the quests. It is just as boring to go through the story as it is to go through the physical actions of taking on the quests because both are basically just vast fields of emptiness. The one cool thing that actually is interesting and would have more people talking about it, is how the world might change in NG+. But it's random and also only earned after beating the game, and even if you get a cool one it doesn't make it worth playing through the game again.
How in their right mind can they charge for a DLC?
Get outta here!
New to the game industry?
Horse Armor 2.0
I hope the update includes the Creation Kit but I somehow doubt it.
Prediction: they are gonna release some shitty pieces of DLC to technically fulfill their obligation to the idiots who bought some sort of ultra-elite-platinum version of the game or whatever it's called, after which point they will abandon the game, because no one cares at this point, them least of all.
just like they abandoned fallout 76 right? oh wait its still getting updates....
Are people even still really checking for this husk
