    I’m not too surprised it isn’t ‘the’ game to play, myself, but I am surprised at the amount of backlash against it online. It seems to me to be everything it says it will be on the tin, warts and all

      I assume it is in part due to the Bethesda acquisition of Microsoft and that Starfield was destined to be the next big exclusive game for Xbox.

      And Todd Howard’s comments about needing better hardware to play the game also didn’t help.

        That seems to be part of it. I haven’t paid any attention to any of the news before it launchedd, because I don’t give a damn about console wars or todd howard. I just got the game because my friends were playing it and it sounded like something I’d really like, and it was.

          Me neither haha, it’s still mostly from the same podcast and a few meme post from our group chat.

          The whole console war thing as stupid as the whole exclusivity thing…

          If I could play Starfield right now, I would, but I also have no problem in waiting until it gets patched (which is the case with a lot of games lately).
