Remember, No Man's Sky also had overall negative reviews at launch

[Coffee]

It was the "in" thing to hate no mans sky at launch. If you liked no mans sky at launch, you were treated as scum of the earth when it launched. Mocked. Trolled. Ridiculed. Occasionally you would get the police knocking on your door if you enjoyed the game and were a streamer. Just like starfield fans are being treated.

Be ready for all that, maybe even more so since the world has gotten worse since then. Police at your door? Maybe it will be the FBI instead and if you are a streamer be accused of heinous crimes just because YOU like starfield.

And like no mans sky, starfield will be even better in the future and its already pretty fun now and in a better state than no mans sky was. Is it perfect? No, but no game is. No game is perfect. But there is a huge campaign against starfield, and those who dislike starfield ARE going to do anything in their power to ruin the enjoyment of those who are having fun.

If you are a streamer and enjoying starfield, stay safe, stay strong and make sure you aren't alone. Those who dislike starfield WILL, just like they did with streamers who enjoyed no mans sky, likely call the cops on you or worse. Its really scary out there if you enjoy a game that the "majority" (loud small group or just the majority) of gamers dislike.

I still remember the cops showed up at my door because all I did was stream no mans sky at launch and was enjoying the game, but "everyone" was hating it and if you didnt, you were a target.

So no matter what happens, keep enjoying starfield :)

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we see a typical subject in the "bargaining" stage of the five stages of grief.

No Mans Sky = made by a small indy developer with a hand full of employees who bit of more then they could chew and their only experience was a mobile game. However they wanted to prove themselves and wanted to make things right and is more established then they were back in 2008.

Starfield = made by a well established multi billion dollar company, that is known to release buggy unfinished games "Starfield compared to their other game is less buggy, but not a 100% bug free game" and are known to not go back and completely fix their games. They've already made their money from this, they'll put out a hand full of patches, 3 or 4 dlc's over the next 4 or 5 years and then the modding community will do the rest.

Now of course, things could be different now that Microsoft bought them out, however this is Bethesda's track record.

No Man's Sky also was an indie company who had no choice but to fix it or go out of business, not a corp like Bethesda.

[ケツデカピングー]

nms is cool now because dev fixed the game.
will Bethesda fix this? i donno

[Habitat Non-Fabric Office Chair]

either way, the internet historian vid will be a fun watch

[Yuritarted]

NMS isnt a triple AAA like bethesda..come on, why we always sucking and letting uncooked games just because it came from some reputable developers

Based on this video, seems like it and Starfield have a lot in common.

This isn't even out yet and people hated on Fallout 4 on launch and by one month in it had better steam raiting then NMS did after a year being out lol

[Clail]

No mans Sky was release was a a whole different level of bad, and the solution that led to it having great reviews is the constant huge updates that are completely free.

Starfield is no where in as bad as state of NMS was, nor do I expect bethesda would commit to free content updates even if the game did tank.

The two games aren't comparable.

[USA]

Starfield will ONLY become better because of the modding community.

I suggest waiting a year or so. I refunded and will revisit at a later date.

[Fast Pooper]

NMS was garbage. People who fell for the hype wanted them to redeem themselves. Starfield is just a typical Bethesda game, you either know how that works or you fall for the hype of that and get disappointed. I mean Skyrim and Fallout 4, two games people consider good are rudimentary at best in terms of almost all mechanics. People will eventually come to like this one.

Not sure Fallout 4 is the game you want to be defending
