    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.

        Yeah, I was one of the nay-sayers saying the game would probably suck, but I actually enjoyed it. People love to bandwagon and hate. It’s much easier to hate on the thing everyone hates on than it is to actually try it with an open mind and evaluate whether or not it’s for you.

        Well no downvotes from me, that’s a valid opinion.

          If you enjoy the whole base building stuff and ship building stuff, you can easily waste a load of time. It’s a real shame that Bethesda didn’t allow players to set up factories to manufacture ammunition/meds/etc. Lots of wasted potential.

            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.

              I enjoyed that too, but I also got a bit frustrated with the lack of control over the placement of doors. If I could put doors wherever I wanted them I would have been trapped in the ship builder forever probably.

                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.

        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… »

      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.
